Until it's actually in Fed Ex hands, you got nothing.

I've also seen Fed Ex hold packages for a certain delivery date in the near future.

Technically, until I have it in my hands, I got nothing.

FedEx shouldn't be holding any packages once they have them unless the receiver requests a future delivery date. The shipper can request a future pick-up date so that FedEx doesn't pick it up immediately.

I wouldn't read too much into it. All this means is that they are printing labels, then they have to apply them to all the box's. Then they still have to get loaded onto pallets, wrapped and then FedEx has to come and pick them up. We won't get them until sometime next week, I just got my text from T-mobile saying they are boxing it up and to expect to see a charge on my card but they add that that they will start shipping on the 19th. Since it's overnight delivery I'll probably see it the 20th unless things get backed up, then it will probably be the 21st.

I keep trying to get into my Samsung account and have had no luck all afternoon

I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. It is like a roller coaster ride LOL

Brightpoint was the one that shipped out the promo VR for the s7. I hope I'm able to get that $99 bundle for the card/headphones. Will it be an option when I register for the promotional deal if I'm getting my phone from TMo instead of direct from Samsung?

Yes it will (assuming they are not out of stock).

Interesting. I'm not sure what that is. I just preordered the phone and immersive bundle. I imagine that's all that is coming early.

It's to distract us from being angry when phone is delayed... *

 

[burrzoo]

I pre-ordered on 3/31, S8+ and the immersive bundle and I also have an expected delivery date 4/14 of "something." 0.8 pounds in weight coming from:
brightpoint north america traffic department
Samsung.com still shows "pre-order" status. Who knows what will show up?!?

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

Preorder customers receive free Gear VR with Controller and Oculus content pack, or instead opt for $99 “Experience Box” with Gear VR and Controller, Harman Kardon headphones and 256 GB microSD cards

Paragraph 4 sums it all up.

https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/infinitelyimmersiverules/

You can get the "Gift Bundle" which includes the Gear VR with Controller and Oculus Content Pack for free.

OR

Pay $99 for the "Gift Box" which includes the Gear VR w/controller and Oculus Content Pack, AKG BT headphones, and Samsung 256GB microSD card.

Keep in mind there are only 350,000 Gift Bundles and 50,000 Gift Boxes to be had.

Good luck! 'Cause I'm going for the Gift Box... muahahaha!

I wouldn't be surprised if Gift Boxes are sold out by Samsung.com orders before the other outlets even ship given this article - https://www.theinquirer.net/inquire...der-demand-55-times-higher-than-the-galaxy-s7

This is interesting. I didn't order that either. Maybe a surprise thank you from Samsung for the pre-order?

 

[Blues Fan]

I have not got an email from samsung saying mine has shipped and I check my invoice on the website and still has not shipped. Should I be freaked out my order got messed up or something?

Why? Nobody's phone has shipped that we know.

Is Samsung saying there is only a certain amount of gift bundles and gift boxes? Those numbers seem very low to me. I honestly haven't heard anyone not getting the free gifts offered by them. Just want to know cause I ordered through Tmobile and if it's just that amount you guys are listing then it won't even get to any of the carriers, Samsung.com alone can bring in that amount of people.

 

[anon(7901790)]

Yup. If you click the link it actually says how many are available.

 

[jaye3rd89]

Per Sprint's site, shipping will be as early as 4/17.

Edit: I tried to register for the promotion but when I go to the link nothing comes up for submit the claim form..this is both on the site and I follow what it says do on the Samsung Shop App.

Is anyone else having an issue with this?

So chances are if they stay true to those numbers... Us that did the Pre-Orders through our carrier will most likely lose out on the 99 dollar bundle. Esp., if the numbers are correct that the S8's pre-order numbers top the galaxy s7
