I think I've figured out how your 950MB data usage went to... tongue.gif


You've update your device to ios 8.1 using your data. nod.gif

Hmmm, I thought iOS would have prevented an OTA update using cellular data?

Well, if you ignore the warning and keep downloading it.

So there is nothing we can do and just let Maxis bullied us?  sad.gif

You can always opt to buy elsewhere. Again, why make it like Maxis is the only reseller you could get your iphones from?

You are right, Maxis is not the only reseller for iPhone in the market. However you have to hear me out on this.

I pre-order it because I wanted to make sure I can enjoy the coolest gadget as soon as possible. Hopefully somewhere around 6-9 Nov I could get the device as Maxis was making a huge uproar about the midnight delivery. I don't think our local logistic needs more than a week to deliver the goods as I frequent use their service. (I didn't know about brightstar was doing the delivery at that moment).

And knowing very well, if I were to purchase from Apple Store, it will likely to take about 5 days to a week for them to deliver, I will only able to get the phone somewhere on the 13th - 14th November as I have experience purchasing from Apple directly.  In the matter of fact, at that moment my cousins asked me to purchase 3 units for them and I did make the order from Apple store online since Maxis no longer take pre-order. I waited till morning of 6th November and make the purchases once they opened for purchase. I still remember at that moment the delivery time stated was 5 - 7 working days. At that point I still feel that Maxis would be quicker to get me the phone as I have pre-ordered it.

Surprisingly I received all the iPhones that I ordered from Apple store on the 10th November. Well I gave Maxis the benefit of the doubt that the phone was on the way as I have received numerous confirmation from their Customer Service, therefore I waited. I received a call from Maxis today telling me that they have run out of stock and they have no idea when I will be getting my phone.

If I were to cancel my order now and make my purchase online, the current waiting period is 3-4 weeks. You see my predicament here. I felt that I have been slapped by Maxis and there is nothing I can do about it.
*
Yeah... I get your drift.

Sorry but I have to say this, time and time, dissapoinments, upets and upsets, anger and anger but I can tell you people will never learn and this whole cycle will repeat itself again on the next launch of the 6S next year. MARK MY WORDS. nod.gif

As the old saying "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." This will be my last time doing this bull crap with Maxis unless I receive an official apology from someone that matters.

Haha.. no chance bro. U think they are bothered? Maybe they should ask their CEO to pull of another stunt by delivering the pending Iphones to their angry customers. rclxms.gif laugh.gif

Yeah, got the same SMS on Wednesday. But after waiting so many days, finally called Maxis CS to arrange to self collect at BS. In and out of BS office with the phone in 15-20mins, better than waiting in vain for their delivery man to call.

You forgot to add.. no delivery and had to pay rm3 parking fees, petrol to BS office and also numerous phone calls to them. laugh.gif

My story:

1. Received a call from their staff a week before. Mentioned that the phone will be delivered today (14/11/2014).
2. Got a confirmation SMS that phone will be delivered before 15/11/2014 (which means today).
3. Called them in the morning today just to re-confirm. Maxis CS staff confirmed that will receive the phone today.
4. Waited till 2PM. Nothing. Called CS again to check. CS mentioned will check and will call me back.
5. Around 4PM, Maxis CS called. Informed that THEY HAVE NO STOCK AND THIS IS GLOBAL SHORTAGE AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I pre-ordered on 3/11/2014. CS asked me whether I want to cancel or wait till December. Cannot confirm which date on December.
6. Told them to cancel my order as I'm totally FRUSTRATED with this kind of bullsh1t. I felt helpless with this kind of service.
7. Worst experience ever.
*
Wow.. your case even worse. With calls and sms confirmation but at the end no stock? Talk about leading cusfomers on. rclxub.gif

*Sigh*... Yea. I did send some stuff to their Twitter last time. I don't blame the CS ground troops, just the management. Poor leadership and integrity... Their management probably told them to shut up (minimise legal liability) and hope that angry people go away... Yes, they will, to their competitors....

QUOTE(Fjive @ Nov 15 2014, 11:08 PM)
Maxis failed to handle to situation up til now, did almost nothing to salvage the situation and maintained a 'tidak apa' attitude towards customer

- did not know how to manage customer's expectation
- one excuse to cover another
- did not engage a proper courier service company to handle the delivery
*
QUOTE(netbeans @ Nov 15 2014, 11:40 PM)
The whole planning was doomed from the get go. Anything that can go wrong, went wrong, and no official response frm the mgt, makes the whole fiasco spiral out of control.

Appointing 1 co. to handle all the delivery, was also a mistake. Maybe bound by contract, so can't terminate. Hope there is a penalty clause with hefty fine to the 'favorite' courier partner who single handedly screwed up the whole delivery process.
*
Guys guys..calm down. Up until now, it is very apparent that current situation is that there is just not enough stock to go around and they have no control over the current situation. Apple are still sending them stocks but at very limited quantities. I dont think that there is much the company can do at the moment to calm angry customers rather than offer a bit of compensation like the Rm100 rebate and keep o pushing the delivery date further. They are allowing customers to cancel their orders which I think some of you who cant wait should do so. To save yourself from further heartbreak, I would sugest you dont put to much hope with their cs' promises.

I think by now, most who order between 31st and 1st should have received their phones by now.

Just cancel the order with Maxis. It's such a waste of time. I cancelled mine on 14th, straight away ordered with Apple on the same day and now my shipping status is already in Subang Airport from Singpore. I will expect to receive it by EOD or latest by tomorrow.

For Apple store, if they have ready stock in their warehouse in Singapore, its direct shipment to Malaysia and to your homes. thumbup.gif

As mentioned previously, you need to call 123 to activate your new sim and your new plan will run concurrently.
