    You take your 8 digit code to any EE store to get your Power Bar, as explained in the text back from EE - simples.

    50mins so far... No reply

    "Due to high demand"???

    EE do know how many customers they have right? They did realise there would be a "high demand" for chargers surely?

    They clearly didn't have the systems in place to deal with demand; a basic error.. EE would struggle to arrange an outing to a brewery imao.
