Re: Gear VR registration/approval/shipping/arrival info & also problems.

Apparently a New Promo Starts today......but the offering sort of sucks (64 gb microsd card, a case for movie watching, and 6 months of netflix) in comparison to the preorder promos

I got my VR today.. Where do I find the promo code for oculus content? I pre-ordered my phone online at tmobile. Is the code somewhere in the paper work?

Yes, Mine was on a White Index size card with a scratch off spot.

Finally got mine yesterday! Love the card, the headphones are excellent (to me at least), but the controls take some getting used to.

However, they had already sent me the free bundle (Gear VR, controller and Oculus code). Thinking about putting it on eBay to compensate for the time I lost calling/emailing Samsung.

Odd....

Was your from

BRIGHTPOINT NORTH AMERICA
TRAFFIC Department
501 AIRTECH PKWY
PLAINFIELD, IN US 461687408
317 707-2192

It is coming Fedex home not 2 day, Is 1.6 lbs and has no dimensions listed.

Only other thing I ordered with Samsung is got the free month of Samsung premium care.
Wonder if they send documents or something.. Hmmm

To update I got this Yesterday and it was the Free VR headset/controller Only...

However I did sign up for the $99 Bundle and got an ship confirmation email this AM for the $99 Bundle.
So maybe looks like I will end up with 2 VR's?

Still debating whether or not to even call them. I don;t have an hour to wait on hold for their mistake.

mine has been approved but still pending shipping... approved on 4/24...

Anyone else waiting this long?

I was approved on the 21st...

Mine finally shipped out this morning. It's the 5lbs package however they didn't charge my card and the other charge they charged me on the 22nd when I ordered it is now gone. I'm assuming the charge will probably show up tomorrow. I never did get tbe email from customer service with a $50 certificate for the samsung store tho like she told me I'd get, maybe they just waived the fee instead?

 

[SkhairKro]

Yes, I'm still waiting this long! Approved the 26th. I'm very "Late" to the party. I'll perhaps be on the very last back-end of the shipments!

 

[Anthony Mclean]

Got mine today.. This is decent.. First time using 1

 

[Anthony Mclean]

It's time

 

[SkhairKro]

I suggest you try "Starry Night" Van Goh Gear VR app! Oh and another good one is "Welcome To Oculus" Great Nifty little Demo you can show to friends who've never tried VR before and it's well made little intro that get's you all hyped for Virtal Reality!
Netflix Gear VR is a MUST Try as well!

Been "Processing Gift" since 4/22, so I called today and the rep told me that parts of the kit are back ordered but they will resume shipping as soon as their supply comes in. Don't think she knew what she was talking about because my status has changed to "Gift Sent." Hopefully, I will have a FedEx tracking # shortly.

UPDATE: Just got my FedEx tracking # via FedEx Delivery Manager & I should be getting the package on Monday.

 

[munnarg]

Mine was accepted on 4/22/17 and still nothing past processing gift for over a week now.

 

[shaneontherocks]

Mine has yet to ship and its taking forever, contacting Samsung now

I swear no one wants to remember that they said 6-8 weeks. LOL. Be patient!

 

[kimelle]

For those that are seeing movement or have received, what day did you submit, and which promo?

 

[SNOOP97DAWG]

Finally popped up on Ship Manager

 

[tattooed4515]

Nothing here yet. Still sitting at approved and processing gift. Where it changed to Sunday the 23rd. Never got an approval email either. Nothing in Fed ex delivery manager either.

 

[tattooed4515]

Ironically, just got the approval email

Hi! I've been stalking the thread as well but just made an account. So here's my short story, I registered on the 19th, received an email saying they couldn't verify the picture. Then I did it again on the 20th, I sent my sprint preorder agreement and surprisseeee! Said they couldn't read again and that was my last try. I said forget it at least I have the phone. On the 26th I received an email saying it was approved and would ship between the 24-26... I didn't call anyone they just sent the email. Today I received my email and tracking number that it's in IN and will be here in AL Saturday oh and I registered for the free gear. Good luck to everyone!

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this!
