My delivery date has also been postponed to mid-October, although yesterday it still said that I could pick it up today. Ordered right at the beginning of the order release on 09.09.2.2022.

It's very annoying that they don't store the quantity in the system a week in advance and openly inform the customers that they will certainly receive a unit at the market launch even if they order right at the time of order release... Also questionable for me is whether the units are served according to the "first come, first served" principle. It would be best if this were also noted.

According to digitec support, the supplier is responsible for entering the quantities and delivery dates. In my opinion, digitec needs to talk to the supplier and change this situation for the benefit of customer satisfaction. digitec should have the appropriate market position to bring about a positive change even with weighty suppliers.

This means that the quantities must already be entered at the time of the pre-order and it must be ensured that the orders that were placed first are also delivered first. This should also be clearly communicated to us customers, because other shops can do this too.
So if a customer wants to order the iPhone one day after the order has been released, he would see that he will not receive it until mid-October and can decide to order from another shop if necessary.

Please play your cards close to your chest digitec, customer satisfaction will thank you!

Accepted Answer

Yes very good post to the point 👍

Answer

Short and concise answer: 
Digitec does not know how many units they will receive until the day of delivery. 
Unfortunately, there's not much they can do about it, nor can they change anything. Incidentally, this already happens every year with the Apple releases.
