"I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

[Hoggles]

I checked. Mine says "waiting for a shipment from Samsung, expected shipping dates between 3/1 - 3/3"

Who knows if that's accurate, especially since my card was charged around the same time as some of the people, like yourself, that got the shipping notice.

For T-Mobile people who haven't gotten tracking info, you can also go to https://www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html and track by reference number.
For reference number enter your phone number, leave the date as is, enter destination country and zip code. If there is package then it will show up there. Mine shows up and says Monday delivery

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know you could track with your phone number.

UPS says "Order processed, ready for UPS" and a label was created today. There is indeed a tracking #, but the first part is x'd out.

So stoked Tmo is rolling this out super early.

You are welcome ... We will have it on Monday worst case Tuesday

 

[Hoggles]

Totally Yeah, just noticed it does say Next Day Air for shipping. And they got the city right....so that's always a good thing

This is very very exciting. Going to be some major geeking out a week and half earlier than expected

Update: Pre-order incentives have begun. Not sure if the $50 "gift" is in reference to the headset (though it retails for $100) or the game bundle. Regardless, more evidence things are moving with haste (at least with T-Mobile).

Awesome solid! Edit: The $50 Oculus gift is part of the "$150" VR & Oculus gift, for the software.

And did you do this through Samsungs promo page, or did Tmo just send this to you? I know you are getting yours Monday, but I thought you had to have the S7 delivered before you could apply for the promo. I even thought Sammy said that the promo page doesn't go live until 3/4.

Just curious

 

[solid_s_1117]

Not quite sure. Prior to the pre-order launch end users were led to believe that in addition to a Gear VR headset, they would be given access to 6 free games (and Netflix, etc.). Perhaps carriers are opting for a $50 Oculus store credit instead. I've had a Gear VR for a month or so, and $50 is more than enough to get started. Good deal in my eyes, let the user decide what they want to use the credit for rather than explicitly determining what games/experiences we receive.

Will update as the emails roll in.

*Just received said email, no promo page login

 

[Hoggles]

Yeah, that $50 is for sure for the Oculus software. I like the credit idea.

I guess the question is, do we still need to go through the Samsung promo rebate page, starting on the 4th. I read that you have to give your IMEI and such.

 

[bhatech]

Yeah we would still have to through samsung promo page, provide IMEI, proof of purchase etc.

I got the pending charge in my account as well. The pending date shows as 2/29 so it will hit first thing in the morning Monday (though it's already deducted from my account balance). Hopefully that means our phones will ship out Monday and be here on Tuesday.

 

[Skrattande]

Well after a hands on at the Sammy Exp shop its a def no brainer.. the black knocks the gold out of the park

 

[neiljay6]

Silver for me!

 

[StayFly]

completely, i think i'm getting the black and silver.

 

[spridell]

Got my T-mo shipping notice.

Will be delivered tomorrow.

 

[StayFly]

You sure you're getting $300 for the old BB? The $300 trade-in only applies for a good-condition S6, S6 edge, or Note 5.

I stand corrected, I got $100 for it, my guy was sure of it because of the past I was able to do so. Verizon changing up on me now.

Ordered the S7 in black direct from Samsung in the UK on the Upgrade Program. Very decent monthly payment plan and interest and I'll source my own cheap sim only deal probably via Three.

It says preorder til 11th March will get a complimentary Gear VR but should I be worried that it doesn't get mentioned ed on my order receipt? Does anyone know if in the UK it will just get sent along with my phone or do I need to claim it laternor something?

Got my shipping from TMo. Arrives Tuesday! Nothing on the preorder benefit yet though.

I've preordered mine through car phone warehouse and they also don't mention it on the order form so I'm guessing it'll be afterwards that we get to sort that out

 

[rkkeller]

I preordered with ATT and trading in my iPhone 6+ for it. I ordered the gold color and can't wait to get it.

I already have a 64gb storage card and that should be enough.

It appears me switching my mind from Silver to Black has bumped me back into the 2nd shipment T-Mobile receives. I had originally ordered a Silver within a few minutes of pre-orders going live then a day and a half later I switched to Black (after seeing them in person). Now my status is "Awaiting additional shipment from Samsung and will ship 3/1 - 3/3. Looks like I'll still get it this week though!
