Anyone suffered the same fate as me pre-ordering phones from machines since Sept until now haven't receive the phone? Ordered Iphone 14 pro deep purple 512GB on 30th Sept self pickup, now is already close to a month and no news from them :'(

aduh that is bad. Did they give you a date on when can you expect your phone when you pre-ordered with them?

Unfortunately, I emailed them and the usual copy paste answer "Pending Allocation". Once got stock will update the pickup via email. So no estimate time even I insisted them to give me one.

Same, ordered 512 GB Silver 14 pro max on 23rd September, paid in full, but never got any news so I proceed to cancel it (last week), went and order from Apple directly, will be getting it within 14th to 21st November, not taking anymore chances with this machines
They won't give an estimated date, other than the standard "Delivery in 3 weeks onwards" which practically means nothing, just wait forever then

Yeah lesson learned. The time when I pre-ordered, the site mentioned will be able to pickup on 7th Oct onwards. So now is already almost a month, so feeling quite disappointed with Machines for not fulfilling their promise and never get back to me on the new estimate time. This will be my last purchase from them, if anything just buy direct on Apple Malaysia's site.

Machines gave me a call yesterday to update on my IPhone 14 Pro 512GB Deep Purple status. Initial thought the call is about ready for collection, unfortunately they told me that my waiting time will be extended for another 6 weeks estimate. So for that, they gave me 2 options:
1 - to wait for the phone to arrive after 6 weeks
2 - to cancel the order

I've told them to let me think about it and they will call me back again today for my answer.

In the end, I've brought IPhone 14 Pro 256GB Deep Purple from Harvey Norman. Though may not be my ideal storage space as i'm the one who holds my phone for a very long time (Upgrading from my IPhone 7 six years of age) and i got tired of waiting. As usual in Harvey Norman, they're trying to sell additional various protection plan between 700-1k+, didn't listen much as i just want to get the phone without additional add on. So be aware of this to those who going to get only the phone with apple 1 year warranty.

So today going to ask machines to cancel my pre-order which i ordered on 30th September. Truly disappointed with them, lesson learned & will buy direct from apple online store in future.

I feel your pain bro, already pulled out 2 weeks ago and never looked back

BTW update:

1. Machines refund - got it today after submitting my cancellation request since 23rd October, so it's been 12 working days since, consider within the 14 working days they promised.

2. 14 pro max (silver) 512 gb - apple just updated will be delivered to me next Monday!

Sounds stupid but I've waited this iPhone longer than my X50 lmao lesson learnt so hard this year, totally killed the joy of receiving the new device

Yea, machines called and I have proceeded with the cancellation and refund request. So the process for this will take around 21 working days.

All is good now thumbup.gif

2. Wow that's really fast! Congrats first biggrin.gif

256gb should be ideal if you subscribe to iCloud storage. 512gb and 1tb if you use 4k video or pro res a lot. Enjoy your iPhone bro. That is a huge upgrade from ip7.

Yup huge upgrade indeed! Missed out quite a lot of new features too! Though I really miss the fingerprint sensor from my iPhone 7 🤣
