    I'm afraid you are correct. I got a VR last week and it was 1.4lbs. I have two watches on the way now and the weight is 1.6lbs.

    I finally got my VR yesterday, and I have a shipping label created for a 1.6 pound package that is supposed to be delivered on Saturday. That should be my two watches, so I guess this saga is finally coming to an end for me. I submitted on 3/8 and was approved on 4/6, so I guess they are finally...

    Looks like I'm finally going to receive my VR tomorrow. Now I'm just waiting for the watches.

    So, I posted another response on the Prize Logic website asking what was going on. I almost immediately received a phone call from their social media person. He told me that the original promotion was for 300,000 VR headsets and around 35,000 watches. Supposedly they had those queued up and...

    I just got through to them. I called a few weeks ago and was told to wait until after 8 weeks and they'd escalate it to Tier II. When I asked the lady on the phone about that she said there was no such thing, and all I can do is wait. I have never had a company treat me like this. They make up a...

    I just tried to call Prize Logic since it's getting to the end of the 9th week since my approval email. I got a message saying all circuits are busy. Have they just stopped taking phone calls now?

    Well, I now have a 1.4lb package in FDM. So I guess they've decided to send my VR. Delivery estimate is Tuesday, not that I believe it. Now I wonder how long it will take to get the two Gear S2's.

    Got this today: For more information regarding the delay, Samsung is working to manufacture new devices to be allocated toward this promotion. As soon as they arrive at the shipping company Samsung contracts, it will be sent to you and you will receive the tracking information. I submitted for...

    You're not alone. I'm waiting on a VR as well as two watches. My VR shows an estimated shipping date of 5/8/16, I called them about that and they just said that they really don't know why I don't have it.

    That's about what I expected. I'm on the phone with Verizon now, and I don't know who in the world you all have been talking to that was willing to send out the watches, but I can't find that person anywhere in their company. This is my 4th phone call and I've chatted with them twice, and every...

    I submitted on 3/8 and was approved on 4/6, so tomorrow is my 8 week mark. I called Prize Logic today and was told to wait yet another week and if it still hasn't shipped they'll escalate it to their Tier II team. According to the lady I talked to, the Tier II team is the only one that can...

    I chatted with Verizon for almost 2 hours this morning. According to the person I was talking to, his supervisor called Prize Logic, got the same useless response I get when I call, and then told me it's out of their hands. They said it's a Samsung promotion and since I have an email saying that...

    I'm calling BS on Verizon sending out free watches, too. I have contacted them multiple times and all they do is call Prize Logic and get the same runaround that I do. This is the parting message from my last chat with them: If I can only give it to you for free I would but I can only do so...

    I've been lurking for awhile, but here's my story. I submitted March 8 for two S2's, I didn't hear anything back until the mass email on April 7. Although the status on the website changed multiple times during that time frame. I'm now stuck with the shipment date pending status and can get...
