New customer - first day experience, no router and misinformation

As for the BB, again had a text saying the order had completed at about two thirty. This is where the problem is. I can’t connect as I’ve not received the router! Had a text mid-day Tuesday (today’s Friday) saying the router is in the post, I had expected this as all the indications on the site are that the router will arrive just in time for the BB activation. However it did not. Contacted Plusnet via the chat thing – 25 minutes wait for an agent, is that good or bad? – where the text message was acknowledged and I was informed it could take 3-5 days to arrive. That would put it within time scale for 3 days but outside for 5 days. So potentially not as advised/agreed in the original order.
Now this evening I’ve received an e-mail at 20:50 saying that my order (Thomson router) was dispatched on 4th March (ie today Friday) 4 days after the initial text message saying it was in the post, and again with a 3-5 working day delivery. Given that it’s now Friday evening this could be next Friday so I’d be a week without BB.
I’m in the fortunate position to have a separate business line with BB also access to old routers so it’s not a real problem BUT if I were not then I could be without a service for a week that I’ll be paying for. Not a good start!
Any similar experiences? And is there anyone to raise this with, an e-mail address for a director would be nice.

For me it's not a problem but for others it may well be, so more a warning (and a whinge) than anything else.

I am awaiting a Home Hub1 following new comtract .
On Thursday1st March a text saying router in the post arrival in a few days
Then this morning Saturday 5th saying in the post arrival 3-5 days.
No problem for me as I can existing router. I think the issue of router dispatch has been a problem for as long as I have been with Plusnet . (about five years)

Quote from: PeterLoftus But the point of this post is a false premise. The vast majority of people who migrate have an old router, or a local branch of PC World or the nounce to connect their PC direct to the modem. False grump
Actually it is not.
A customer should be able to expect to get the correct service from their ISP!
Why should they have go to PC World and BUY a modem/router just because the ISP failed to get the router to them on time. Also a lot of people do not have the technical knowhow to connect directly to an old modem or reconfigure it for the new setup.
I think you are being unfair to the OP.
