Hey guys, some update on my experience order via Maxis Online Store vs Apple Online Store..
Maxis Online Store:
Pre ordred on 31st Oct, full payment made include advance payment.
Promise to deliver 6th, nvr turn up. Postponed to latest by 14th, nothing shown.
Received maxis call back, globally out of stock, need to wait 2-3 weeks.
Received maxis call again on 17th, said order with BS may proceed self collect.
Went BS 18th morning, even order has not flow in..
Called to Maxis, was told supervisor will follow up and give an update on delivery status by Friday 21st Nov.. now still waiting.
Apple Online Store:
Placed order on 14th when was told by maxis no stock.
Payment debited on 18th.
Item shipped on 19th.
Received Iphones on 20th!~
We have a clear winner!

The worse part is maxis branches will not take any reservations or start any kind of waiting list, and they don't even let us know which branch has what models available (DiGi's website shows that info, though I dunno how accurate or updated it is). And then there are some of their Exclusive Partners who have stock but insists for new registration only. Totally BS.
