Would like somebody to confirm that as well. I got the gift switch email, called PL and confirmed I would still be getting the Gear S2, and my 1.4lb package should be delivered tomorrow. Pretty sure it's a Gear VR...
Submitted for watch on Mar 16
approved email on Apr 7, though status was approved before that
Fedex Label created on Apr 20 for package 0.9 lb
Got in transit from FDM last night picked up and now at fedex office still 0.9 lb
expected delivery in NJ Wed
BTW no change on status page

I have never received any emails about the promotion, switching or otherwise, unless you count the canned response about checking the promo status site. Have confirmed through PL I am supposed to receive the S2, delivery weight in fedex is 1.4 lbs

My 2nd Gear S2 that was delivered last week was .9lbs, the first one was 2.4lbs... both in the same box and packaging..... they use "Fedex Home Delivery" service which does not ship on Sundays and Mondays....... fyi- the check status page never changed for me while either one was in route or until afdter it was actually delivered......
Tracking number 940XXXXXXXXXXXX
Weight 0.9 lbs / 0.41 kgs
Delivery attempts 1
Terms Not Available
Packaging Package
Service FedEx Home Delivery
Dimensions 9x6x5 in.
Total pieces 1
I'm curious to know if anyone that has received their watch was told by PL that everything was good and just waiting on shipping only to find out that it was already delivered or on its way prior to talking to them and they had no clue? Wishful thinking that it is on the way but maybe the rep didn't know.. FDM is empty, still pending submitted 3/10

Submitted for Gear S2 on 3/11.
Approved w/ Pending shipping date on 3/25.
Received 'Approved' email on 4/7 stating possible May delivery.
Status changed to 'en route' 4/13.
Status changed to 'pending' on 4/15.
Status changed to 'in route' on 4/20.
Status changed to 'pending' on 4/21.
Current Status: Shipment Date: Pending
Not sure if this means anything, but the retail stores are not getting stocked with accessories, watches, etc. Our local Best Buy keeps saying, "we expect a truck on Friday that may have something on it." Maybe Samsung really wasn't prepared for the S7/S7Edge/Gear S2 & VR to be so popular. Warms my cockles to think that right now some poor worker bee is bit*hing about all the overtime hours they are working just trying to get my free S2 to my doorstep by Summer 2016.

There's was another post earlier that said they seem to only drop off at fedex on fridays
Minus your original submission date. All the status changes you have experienced mirrors mine. Except I had pending ship date on 3/23.
Had something very interesting happen just now. So, no emails from Prizelogic about my watch shipping out and the check status page still says pending. I am unable to register for Fedex DM for some reason. Anyways cutting to the chase, I called FedEx directly and gave the rep my address. He was able to tell me that a package weighing .9 lb is on its way to my house, expected to be delivered tomorrow between 10:10 and 12:40. I'll believe it when I see it, but nonetheless I am very excited. Will post a picture if it arrives tomorrow. Submitted 3/10 approved 3/12. And now I wait with anxiety lol.
My Gear VR was delivered to my house while I was away on vacation. I didn't even know it was marked as delivered until a week after because it was stolen. Fedex has marked it as missing. Is there a way to get another one?
Same submission and approval dates.. I'm afraid to call Fedex in fear of disappointment. Goodluck to you, I hope it comes as planned.

So, I just called Prize (I refuse to associate Logic with that company) & I was told that as of today, I am still slated to receive an S2, but it will not ship until 2nd week of May. I asked about them shipping VRs instead of S2s & was told that, yes, in some instances the VRs are being substituted. The cough, cough 'logic' behind this was that only so many S2s were available & if they run out, they run out, so they are allowed to substitute a VR for the S2. I explained that I was 'upset' (not my word, but I don't want to get kicked off the forum) because others who had submitted long after me had chosen S2s and already had them!!! The answer was..."yeah, that's not right, but it did happen, but I had nothing to do with that, I just handled the submission part, & it shouldn't have happened that way." So what did we learn from this???
1. PrizeLosers handled only the submission process as some have suggested.
2. BrightPoint, or some fulfillment company MIShandled the fulfillment portion.
3. The odds of them having any S2s left in the promotion by mid-May is ludicrous.
FIFO just became FILO.

Update: Called FedEx and Prizelogic one more time. PrizeLogic was useless, they told me my Gear S2 wouldn't ship until May. FedEx as I stated earlier, told me I would receive the package tomorrow between 10:10 and 12:40, however, the second rep I spoke to today told me Wednesday same time. She also said the shipment weighs under a pound where as the other rep told me .9. All very strange, like I said, I am hopeful to receive soon and will update when I do. Good luck to all this week!
I could not help it i had to call Fedex and sure enough nothing coming my way
