Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

[primal5]

BTW in sure this was mentioned and my apologies if I'm repeating old news but the Samsung.com site does say if your order by the 17th you will receive your preorder by the 20th.

I just received an Amplifier Dock from Samsung yesterday. Got a shipping notification a few days back and it was delivered yesterday.

I received the Fed Ex tracking the afternoon after I had canceled my pre-order.

So to answer any questions from the people that ordered directly from Samsung, it's not the phone. It will most likely be the speaker dock. At least that's what I just received.

So chances are if they stay true to those numbers... Us that did the Pre-Orders through our carrier will most likely lose out on the 99 dollar bundle. Esp., if the numbers are correct that the S8's pre-order numbers top the galaxy s7

I bought from Sprint. The $99 bundle was advertised as included with the preorder and no indication that it would or could be sold out by Samsung before I even got my phone. I will apply for the bundle the day I get the phone. As I ordered in the first few hours they went on sale, it I am turned away for the offer, I will be expecting Sprint to make good on it since they made the offer directly to me, Not Samsung. If they refuse, they will have an open box phone back for full refund.

You can read this from last year on the Gear VR offer for the Galaxy S7 - bottomline is this is limited supply offer and is fullfilled by Samsung and not any of the carriers or outlets.

And the offer other than the Gear VR is a $130 Samsung ecertificate for a future purchase (per the terms and conditions of the offer).

last year with the gs7/edge they had the offer of the headphones i believe. Well I had submitted my application for it and was approved, a while later i received another e-mail saying that with the high demand for the headphones, they couldn't send me them. Instead they sent me one of their wireless speakers and something else, i forget what it was. So I think they will make accommodations for those that don't get to get either of the bundles.

This is what I think will happen as well. Ever since the Note 7 I don't expect to see early deliveries of 5 to 10 days like before. However if it happens, cool.

Verizon won't until either it ships it or on your next bill.

Seems about a day sooner. Last year that Thur and Fri Tmobile debited the credit cards. With Sunday being Easter it makes sense if they started doing it today and you should expect your phone either next thur or Fri just like it was last year.

Yes. That exact one. I thought it was strange as they don't even offer them on their site that I could see.
