Xperia XZ2 Compact pre-order scam

Hello,
I have made a pre-order for the Xperia XZ2 Compact on the 27th March from one of the retailers in Romania, but I still haven't received the phonw nor does anyone seems to have any news on when it can be shipped. Apparently they have the phone in stock but not the portable speaker that was supposed to come with it as part of the promotion.
So, the pre-ordering in Romania was a scam as it has been suggested to me afterwards to buy the phone alone without the speaker. The point is that even though I just wanted the phone it should still be delivered to me along with the speaker. Otherwise I don't see the point in pre-ordering it if I can then buy it after it is already being sold by everyone. Not sure if this is entirely Sony's fault, but they definitely have a bad way of delivering their products to their retailers.

As far as I'm concerned the whole pre-ordering procedure for XZ2 Compact was a huge scam and I'm really disappointed in Sony.

I'm sorry to hear that but it doesn't seemed to be a scam as you will get the speaker as soon as they have it, a scam will be if you don't get it, but that's my opinion.

Well, I'm sorry but I don't have such lax terms for accepting outarageously late deliveries. It is scam if you commint to deliver a product which you don't have and you don't know if you'll ever have. It's not like it's been a week delay in delivery. It's been a month. Even the moon rotates faster around the Earth.

I understand the frustration, just wondering did you pre-order the device at a Sony store or a different retailer?
