Pre-order Thread for the Red Version

[woainexus]

Yep FedEx labels have been created for HTC.com orders. You will know if you have FedEx delivery manager or just use FedEx track by reference, for reference number put your order number followed by -01 and then destination country US, put your zip code, ship date as today and it'll pull up tracking info if there is label created.

I haven't gotten any email from HTC yet or status changed in HTC site but have FedEx label created for ship date is today and delivery this Friday.

Wow that's amazing. Mine is created too and being delivered Friday.

This worked!! I don't have an email from HTC but the above process told me that my device is coming on Thu too! Excited..

Just pre-ordered my Solar Red. The last HTC phone I bought was the M9, and I'm currently using a Nexus 6 as my daily driver, so this is going to be one heck of an upgrade. I refused to compromise on the color I really wanted this time and I'm glad I waited. I used the coupon code for the $50 off, plus I'll be trading up my M9 another $60 ($110 total discount). Now the waiting game commences.

What took you so long? I figured as soon as the red was available you would jump!

I had to get approval from my non-existent wife first..lol. I was actually debating picking up a blue U Ultra for a lot cheaper at around $470 new off of eBay, but then I realized I had my heart set on Solar Red from day one.

Awesome detective work! Mine says Friday. I had selected standard shipping. Did anyone do expedited shipping and have a different delivery date?

I was going to go for the amazing silver but couldn't convince my wife I needed it as I had the 10. When I "accidentally" shorted out my USB charge port on the 10 I was able to convince her that I needed a new phone. Low and behold the Solar Red was up for pre-order about the same time. What she doesn't know is I think I can fix the 10 and use as a backup. I'm using my M9 for now until the U11 comes in.

You had the M9, 10 and now getting the U11? Dang high roller. My M9 is clinging on to dear life. Phone shuts off sometime after 40% battery life

Cool that this is working for others. Either there's another # for Canada (01 for US) or a label hasn't yet been created for me.

First time for my silver color they shipped thru the same FedEx express saver. Package was picked up Wednesday and delivered to me on Friday (Indiana to Seattle)

Even though it says Friday I'm expecting Thursday or even Wednesday but not sure if the July 4th holiday affects how packages are moved between transits. So Thursday is a safe bet to get the package.

If you have received packages from HTC Canada in the past, look at the tracking details and see what's in the reference number. That'll give an idea of what to look for in reference number. Most companies put order number followed by some stuff or some put phone numbers or some put something else which their internal systems track. Varies from company to company but looking at past tracking details from that company can give you an idea.

I did 2-day shipping and mine is coming on Thu..

Don't have many hobbies that I blow money on anymore. Had a 3400 SQ ft house, 6 large TV's, 3 surround sound systems, 3 nice cars, 1 boat and 2 wave runners and was self employed in custom home entertainment for 25 years. That got old because I never had time to actually enjoy it. Sold almost everything, bought 2 acres put a single wide manufactured home on it, went to work for my sister doing swimming pool repair with a big pay cut, but I'm happy. So getting a smartphone every years is not much. Wife won't agree but it works out.

We get it you have a lot of money! Lol

Yup I'm in the Friday delivery club too!!!

 

[James E1]

Mine is set for Friday also.

 

[Techboy10]

Estimated delivery of Friday here as well! Would have gone Amazon (Prime member), but the $50 off was too much to pass up. I can wait an extra 2 days.

Goodbye Nexus 5 though! I've only ever had Nexus phones so this might take a while to get used to (as well as being massive compared to my Nexus 5), but there's a 30-day return policy right? I'll probably be fine. Was going to wait for the Pixel 2 but oh well, that Solar Red is too beautiful to pass up

 

[coronaboy10]

Just got my shipping notification. Thursday it will be here.

Was shocked to receive an email this morning saying FedEx delivery by 5:00pm today! Just tracked with FedEx Canada and the order has left the shipping warehouse and is in transit. There's no option to select for expedited shipping to Canada so I am both surprised and pleased to see that the scheduled delivery is today. Wow! I would think that other Canadians who ordered the SR are in the same boat.

I see in another thread that you also returned a U11. I returned my brilliant black and got sapphire blue. May i know what colour did you return? And yes, they delivered by UPS to Toronto before the promised delivery date

Amazing Silver. Really liked it but the phone itself was defective.
