Mine still says preparing for shipping on April 1st but it came today.

Was it sent via UPS?

Mine says approved but shipping date pending - but I have a notice from MYUPS I have a package enroute from California.... but I am not expecting any packages this week.......

ok - in the same boat - thanks for confirming. Will be interesting to see if you end up with the VR or S2.

I got the same thing. When I called I got the same answer.

Laquisha must be the only one working today as i talked to her as well. The lines were jammed though, started 30th in the queue.

Looks like the promo stuff is arriving earlier than expected. Anyone with VZW receive their watch yet? Both of mine are approved for shipping but no date was sent. Curious if whether or not they have started actually shipping yet or if some are already in transit. Also are they coming via UPS or Fed Ex?

Going to be interesting to see how long Samsung takes to fill these S2 Gear orders. Was quite a coup for Verizon to have the watch as an exclusive promotional item. I would believe that 99% of the Verizon orders chose the watch over the Gear VR because it's value is so much greater whether they wanted/needed a smartwatch or not. As someone stated earlier, I bet you'll be able to get Gear VR goggles on ebay for like $20 in the next month or so.

I purchased my Edge on 3/14, but finally got around to filling out the promotions form today. Thankfully the option for the Gear S2 watch was there. It did say that demand is so great, that delivery is pushing to May and into the summer.

I would have chosen the $100 Samsung.com GC for both my phones if I hadn't already submitted one receipt on 3/18.

Just received Samsung Promotion VR 3/24/16

I received the e-mail yesterday that I was approved for the Samsung promotion and that everything will ship on April 1st. FedEx just dropped off the package at my door and obviously it isn't April 1st LOL..Be on the lookout guys..I can finally see what the VR experience is all about..Thanks Samsung for the early shipping!!

Damn! I really hope mine hasn't shipped and I certainly hope FedEx isn't delivering I'm not home for another week and the last two Samsung shipments have been lost by FedSux (one showed as delivered and signed when no one was home).

My Gear VR shipped today, arrives tomorrow. Got an email with FedEx tracking number. Was originally told to expect an April 1st ship date.

 

[avgjoe79]

t mobile.
had a 4-1 ship date .
my vr gear came today
and had my netflix code yesterday

 

[itsmekalyan]

Tmobile
gear vr delivered today/fedex my netflix code was email yesterday

 

[Jared2004]

It appears the 4-1 are already being shipped. The only dates I've heard of being shipped are 4-1 & 4-18. My guess is that they're going in waves. I submitted online 3-10 & I'm a 4-18 ship date. I've seen people that submitted 3-8 are 4-1 ship date. I'm guessing everyone that submitted possibly 3-9 or earlier is being shipped by 4-1.

Received my Gear VR few minutes ago via Fedex.

Re: Just received Samsung Promotion VR 3/24/16

As stated in a previous post somewhere....if a Verizon customer gets one April 1 I may be shocked.

 

[android_galaxy]

T-Mobile purchase - had submitted on Samsung site on 3/11.
Ship date for VR headset is listed as 4/18. Hoping it'll arrive sooner as well .
