Wrong Iphone delivered TWICE

As the title says I just had the dhl delivery from carephone warehouse and 13pro max came instead of 12 that I ordered. This is the second time, last week they sent 12 pro max instead of 12 and told me that if I return it they will send an iwatch as a gift. I went to the post office paid over £8 to return it and today I was supposed to have the correct phone delivered. Instead they sent a wrong one again. I am buffled how the same mistake can happen twice. Last time the woman insisted on my going to the post office and returning it rather than them sending DHL as I would be reliable for any damage and loss. 
What are my rights?

    What do you wish to happen?

    You can reject for a full refund or return again for them to replace. 

    They should cover all reasonable costs of return.

    An Apple iWatch for the inconvenience doesn't seem too bad considering :)

    What outcome do you want?  You've already had a very generous goodwill gesture.
  • My original samsung died and the iphone was supposed to be delivered next day. This has been going on for 2 weeks now,I do not care about the iwatch, just want a phone I can use. 
    Want to keep this one rather than waiting for another week and possibly another wrong phone. They can keep the iwatch

    Then ask them if that's a possibility.

    You do realise that not everybody lives near a town with a Carphone Warehouse store, not everyone has a car, people can have mobility issues, childcare, jobs, etc that stop them getting to a store as easily as they'd like.

    I would think that’s unlikely but I can see why the OP would rather keep the 13 pro max given it’s double the price of the 12

    I do hope you used Special Delivery for the return? RD only covers up to £50 compo.

    Interestingly since the retailer has had one attempt to replace the goods and they still do not conform to the contract I think the OP has the opportunity to retain the goods accepting the aspects that don't conform and is entitled to exercise their right to a price reduction.

    Why would there be a price reduction given the phone received is approx £1k and the phone ordered approx £500
