Sprint S8 / S8+ pre-order discussion.

Does anybody actually have any tracking details yet? My tracking number still isn't live yet.

UPS doesn't have regular service on Saturday/Sunday. I would be very surprised if anyone is showing picked up yet.

so I checked my Sprint account today, it shows I leased an S8 that started on April 13th, lol ship my damn phone if youre saying Im leasing it already

I think some of us will get it this Tuesday.....

Can we get a current or former UPS employee to explain how their shipping process works? I see a lot of misconceptions in this thread.

A tracking number (I just checked, received mine) only means the label has been created. Most likely, the phones are on a pallet in a warehouse at the point of entry (maybe California?). They'll probably start breaking down the pallets and labeling phones tomorrow morning.

Also, they're not going to ship directly to people from the warehouse. UPS will most likely ship (I wish by plane, but most likely by truck) to their regional facilities, which forward to the local UPS office, who will then pre-load the delivery trucks in the morning before the driver makes the final delivery. Some regional offices are also local offices for their particular area, so some people will receive their phones earlier than someone who may be a few miles away.

Based on the above, I think that a lucky few will get their phones on Tuesday and Wednesday, and a slew of folks will get theirs on Thursday.

I have never been affiliated with UPS, but we all opted in and paid for next day air service. It is absolutely next day delivery barring some unlikely circumstance/delay. The question is when will UPS actually get the devices?

Sprint has sent emails that very clearly say "your order has shipped". Fine print = " Pre-orders may take 24-48 hours to track shipment progress on the shipping carrier website" Figure worst case Easter adds another 24 hours.

I would say it is possible tracking starts showing "out for delivery" tomorrow, likely Tuesday, almost surely Wednesday. Past Wednesday Sprints system is misleading.

I didn't opt for it they made me pay $10 for next day delivery. There was no option, so if ups gets it tomorrow we should get it Tuesday or expect a refund.

I sure hope so! my days off this week are Mon, Tue, and Wed

I was told shipping was $10 but they ended up charging my card for $11.16.......

 

[djdonnyk]

When I ordered online both my upgrade fee and shipping were waived...

 

[illdini]

I don't remember my order saying next day air shipping (although I was charged $10). If so, most likely the phones leave whatever warehouse they're in on Monday morning (usually around 6-7 am ET, from what I recall from previous orders). At least for me, that makes Wednesday likely (I hope).

How did some of you get next day delivery. When I ordered online I didn't see the option for the upgrade.

There wasn't an option for me they just charged me $10 for it.

I called telesales and was never given an option for overnight shipping but was charged $10 for shipping.

Someone on xda is saying their tracking number assigned yesterday from sprint has turned into a tomorrow delivery date. Fingers crossed that happens for all of us!

Same here

 

[VW Maverick]

Tomorrow late morning will very telling for each of us.
I assume that they will ship from Kansas City (or thereabouts) so it will depend on your location relative to that point.
I council patience, my young Padawans.

Re: Sprint S8+ pre-order discussion.

I got my note 7 a day early.

Same here. I believe most people got it a day early. That was the latest for me. I have a feeling it will be the same with the S8/S8+.

 

[Fobbers]

I checked my order status earlier in the day on Sunday. I was suprised to see a tracking number attached but nothing is in the UPS system. I'll pray it comes on Monday or Tuesday. It's finally here fellas. Enjoy your phones once you get them. Let's pray these dont catch on fire. Lol cheers!
