Exclusive Colors Delayed 5-6 Weeks!

Well it looks like the wheels are moving. Here is the email I just got.



Dear customer,

This email is regarding your order #

Shipping and distribution delays have made it difficult for us to make your device available to you. However, we anticipate having it next week, and should have it shipped out to you by March 21st.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding, and invite you to track the progress of your order on the My Orders page at: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ung.com%2Fus%2Fweb%2Fmy-orders&token=qwKJaOBq. Thank you for choosing Samsung.com.


Yeah I just got the same email 2 minutes ago
 
What colors did you guys get? And when did you do the preorder? For those who ordered on Feb 9th the phones started shipping now for the Exclusive Colors
 
Pre-order graphite 256 on Feb 11 and received confirmation same day with expected delivery my Mar 18. Haven’t received any emails that it’s delayed or canceled, and haven’t received the email update shared above. Order is still “customizing” and transaction pending with Samsung Financing.

Red, 512gb unlocked version. Ordered Feb, 9th.
 
Just chatted to Samsung via online chat for an idea when my phone would arrive, wow that was an experience in itself. I threw a question in there asking if I wanted to change colour to get my phone sooner could I do so without losing my pre order gifts, the guy says " So let me confirm you wish to cancel your order to change the colour" I said NOOOOOOOOOOO lol I am just enquiring!
He never actually answered my question.
 
Received my email today that my S22 Ultra Granite previously scheduled for March 15 is now shipped by March 23. Ordered February 11. Not complaining. Still within the 5-6 week window stated by Samsung from the start. Samsung Financing picked up the charge on March 9. I'm figuring I'll have it in hand by the 25th.
 
Red, 256 Ultra with Watch4. Ordered 2/9 with original delivery date by 3/8. Watch delivery date has moved numerous time and now sits at 3/29.

Yesterday, I received the email stating Samsung's apology for the delay but "should have it shipped out to you by March 21st". (This gave me a ray of hope!!)

At 11:45pm last evening, I receive another email thats titled: "Shipment Delay". It reads, "We apologize that your Samsung order # US******** is delayed more than 30 days". "If you still want the order, no action is required. You may also cancel your order". (Ray of hope deflated). Talking about an emotional roller coaster. I guess it will arrive when it arrives. Now, the second email could be tied to the first email, since a ship date of 3/21 is sort of close to 30 days, or it could mean that the 30 days delay countdown starts on yesterday's date? Who knows??!!

Yeah it's the not knowing that's the most frustrating part.

I received an email last night saying I should get the phone by March 21st. This morning I wake up to the same email you received stating my order is delayed more than a month. I think I'm going to hold out and wait. I don't want to settle for a different color and I don't want to lose my memory upgrade by going with a different color.
 
So my phone status says "created" with the cancel button still there. So does that mean that the phone has actually been created and I'm assuming getting ready to ship soon?

No that's just the order status and doesn't mean the phone is created. It means the order is created. Until your cancel button is there it's not ready to ship.
 
So it seems the Red color edition is more rare right now. And the Sky Blue color is shipping now for those who ordered on Feb 9th. From what I read... What about the Grey Color? Any news on that yet?

The grey (Graphite) has seen some movement here in the UK on other forums with people receiving theirs within the last week or so, I must say its a very nice colour on the videos that I have seen.

I ordered a 512 unlocked grey on march 9th. Shows for me expected delivery by march 22nd. I'm sure that'll probably change.
 
Just looked and I got an email yesterday saying my order is delayed. Got another today saying it's delayed but I will get an updated delivery date when it ships. Just below the notification I noticed one from my credit card with my Samsung total. When I go look at that it just shows it pending. Almost like they took the gold off and put it on again.

For this curious about my order page, says created, cancel still active, status is in progress.

I thought it would be funny if only the 3/8 deliveries were delayed and the 3/15's came on time. Lol.

May the odds ever be in your favor.
