Engineer visit not showing for today

We signed up in December for broadband as we'll be moving this week. On sign up I chose the engineer visit, but must have done something wrong because it went through for Quick start instead. The house was empty for a few years and the wires don't look great so I was planning on booking an engineer, however the quick start didn't arrive, A pair of socks was delivered instead... thanks yodel 🫠 called up and the agent booked an engineer, however it's not showing on the app and I've received no confirmation email or text. I have to arrange someone to be at the property however it's a bit much to expect them to wait 5 hrs without knowing for certain. 

I have tried calling, but I'm in college at the minute and can't hold for too long 🙈 do they send confirmation or is it just as straightforward as trusting it will go ahead?

    Are you tried calling the Pre-installation and delivery team on 0800 052 1734 ?

      Thank you for replying. I have tried to get through a few times today, but I'm at college and couldn't hold for long, I can use my phone to text, but my lecturer wouldn't be too happy with a phonecall in the middle of his class. Did manage to get through at lunch and the call was dropped 3 times before they even accessed my account. I have someone at the property now and there's no show yet, but they have until 6pm anyway, I'll keep trying them when i finish college and on my way home. I just wondered if there's always a confirmation sent out prior to the appointment and if it should have been showing on the orders/appointment screen... because it only occurred to me to check this morning so it's on me 🙈.

      Well you must have brought good luck because the engineer has arrived at the property!

        Great to hear Kai210,

        Was the engineer able to go about resolving your issue or are you still needing our help?
