phone Christmas delivery

I opted to have my iphone delivery pre Christmas (21-12-2020) because its a Christmas gift so I selected this option . Once I had paid and finally relived that I had actually bought a pro max albeit on finance (not being able to afford the full amount right now due to my earnings being affected by the pandemic ) I then received the next day an update from Apple to tell me the delivery date was now 4th or 5th January 2021.

I could have cried, the most expensive item I have ever bought for my wife at Christmas and I will not be able to wrap and give this to her. So disappointed . . what should have been a memorable moment now caused me problems as I have to go and buy something she can at least open Christmas morning. Money is tight this year for many of us and finance was a good option but I could not really afford to be going out buying other gifts as well. So wrong and so disappointed.
