    By the way, any idea how long it normally takes for cashback to update on Quidco after a purchase with BuyMobilePhones?

    It should be within a day - 2 days tops.

  • I took out a 24-month t-mobile contract with them yesterday afternoon (free motorola milestone).
    Got an email from them yesterday evening, saying "Thanks for your order. Due to high demand there is currently a delay in order processing.
    As soon as we progress your order we will send you an email and ship your phone for next-day delivery."
    Called their customer service line, they say I should expect the phone delivered on Friday (20/8).
    I hope I can get the phone (a new and working one) soon. I don't expect to get any cashback from them or Topcashback

    Will update again if I heard from them.

    They informed me that the phone is dispatched and will reach me tomorrow.

    Still awaiting stock of the Wildfire. Phoned them today and they informed me that they were due a delivery in the next day or two, and would dispatch the phone as soon as it became available. Fingers crossed it gets here fairly soon.

    Delivery now not due for another 10-15 working days. They do now mention this on their site but I can't understand why I was told over the phone 1-2 days for the phone to arrive?!

    It's for you to decide whether to wait or to cancel.
    Did your Quidco track?? This may be a deciding factor.

    Transaction did track into my Quidco account. Just wish they'd been clear about the delay from the start as they knew this was an issue from the point of ordering. So I feel a bit let down by the telephone operator telling me it wouldn't be long when this clearly wasn't the case and it took 4 days for an email to update me on the current situation.

    But this does buy me some time and allow me to keep an eye on other deals about...
