Did you get an email when it shipped or did it just show up at your doorstep? Just wondering...I have an April 1st shipping date also.

Now I'll have to wait impatiently till it arrives. It took me hard drill to hook me on the chair to not get too excited and that there is still time for it to be shipped (read 04/01) and then there is this news that shipments are received early. Arrgghhhh #LoveforGadgets!!!!

My status on the Samsung promotion website still says approved as it did yesterday after I received the email with the Netflix code. No tracking info at all and the door bell rang around 12noon est today and it was FedEx delivering the VR. I'm with T-Mobile

They didn't ask me to sign, just rang the door bell and handed it to me.

When I ordered the watch about a week ago ( right after they came back from sold out), the email I got said that I they recieved the info for the VR and bundle. I emailed them right away. JUST now (about a week ) they notified me that yes I did order the watch. I guess the acknowledgement email was generic and said VR for everyone.
BTW which version of the watch are they giving away- the BT or the connected one ?

 

[RefrigeratorEddie]

Yeah, looks like those of us with the Verizon/Gear S2 combo are gonna be waiting awhile for *any* info beyond "shipping date pending".

Verizon s2 submitted on the 11th now shows "Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment. Shipping Date estimate: Pending"

Mine is exactly the same..

T-Mobile is always first.

Any reason for that?

I just got my promo approved Monday. They said April 4th as expected ship date. Luckily, I received my Gear VR yesterday and it's pretty cool.

Any reason for that?

my guess is they were the first to ship the phones, so therefore the first to be able to submit the claims, and they also needed to get the netflix promo codes out, which may have triggered having their VR's set up to ship.
