Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

Called Samsung this morning. I told them I need to change the IMEI number on my application for the Gear VR as I had had to have my phone replaced. They gave me the phone number for the promotions team and said they would be open business hours tomorrow. Australia is still running the gear VR promotion until June 30
 
Mine finally arrived.. over 11weeks to get this damn watch.. Goodluck to the people that are still waiting for theirs.

3/11 submitter approved 3/13 email approval 4/7. Nothing in fdm. What I noticed is everyone who got the approval email on 4/18 seems to have their watches in fdm and the ones who got the approval email 4/7 and are still waiting have nothing in FDM.

Funny part of that is if they were actually going by the approval email date as they claim to be you would think the 4/7 emails would get it first. I am happy for the people who have the 4/18 approval emails because some of you actually submitted before me.
 
they have till Tuesday to meet their 8 weeks for us April 7th people. I hope they meet it but my gut is telling me they won't. I'm work from home so I see this almost every other day. I feel like the driver knows and is trolling me lol. he seriously stops right in front of my house and goes in back of truck and like 2 min later he drives off.

I haven't seen any posts about Gear VR deliveries in weeks - have there been any that I just missed?

I think I saw one about a week ago. also it might be everyone waiting for on on this forum already has theirs

I'm still waiting for a vr. Submitted 3/12 and approved 3/22. Estimated ship date of 4/30 lol. So unless I'm some weird outlier then I'm sure there are others as well.
 
Nothing here.

Submitted 3/10
Approved 3/22

Talked to prize logic since I am beyond 8 weeks from approval. They "escalated" the issue two weeks ago to Tier 2 and I'm yet to hear back. I've talked to Verizon numerous times to see if they'd do the right thing but I've had zero luck. The wait continues.
 
I'm 10 weeks with nothing. Same generic email responses. Told twice thru fbm that they're still on back order, as recently as Friday.

I just found this thread. I submitted my for the VR on 3/17 and got the approval a few days later. Then I received an email a week or so later about taking them up on an offer for $100 samsung.com credit. I just ignored that for the most part. Just wondering what is known about this failure. Should I ***** to samsung or verizon as it's annoying as hell to see the VR's for sale on samsung.com but I still sit waiting for my ETA date.
 
No tracking or anything for me. (Again, I've received one from Verizon, so I'm just updating on IF the other comes, no biggie if it doesn't, I'd rather it go to those who still haven't received theirs.)
 
still no tracking for me either and today marks the end of the 8 weeks. and no help from verizon

Week 11 from submission however, I'm sure they're going to start my "8 weeks" from the location code issue email they sent my on 4/27 (which Verizon confirmed to be inaccurate and PL "confirmed" I was still getting S2's)... so week "5"... Nothing in FDM still.
 
Submitted on 3/11, approved (supposedly) on 4/14. No change on the Samsung status site for weeks, but according to this I should have received last Saturday. I'm still anticipating several more days, if not weeks.

I submitted on 3/8 and was approved on 4/6, so tomorrow is my 8 week mark. I called Prize Logic today and was told to wait yet another week and if it still hasn't shipped they'll escalate it to their Tier II team. According to the lady I talked to, the Tier II team is the only one that can contact the shipping company. So, the wait continues.
