Update. So my package is on the truck for delivery today. Wasn't expecting that to happen

Got mine yesterday day and the headphones are great. The whole thing is really impressive vr quality is beyond what I was expecting. Used mine for 2 hours at the end phone was 80% battery life and not even warm. I was able to wear my glasses with the headset and it was comfortable and they did not even for up. Overall very happy with the bundle

Is anyone still waiting for the email with payment link and promo code? I was able to submit the morning of 4-21-17 and approved for the bundle but never received the email for payment. I have a ticket open with Samsung but they are really incompetent and only provide scripted responses!

Same here with two phones. What a crappy Promo Samsung. Every time I call them I hear something else.

When did you submit? I am wondering if they are really that far behind and if we're really the last ones to get in for the bundle and they are waiting to clear out orders before us even before sending us the link!

Just delivered. Wait is officially over, and delivered 1 day earlier than expected delivery.

Mine arrived in Cleveland Ohio hub this morning, but it was just a little too late to get out on truck I guess because it's still at that hub and it's after 12. So mine arrives tomorrow.

I tried making then hold shipment at FedEx facility but they won't allow it. I'm in am apartment building, and FedEx has an awful track record of not being patient enough to wait for me to hit the buzzer. They basically walk up to door and just slap the "sorry we missed you " sticker on the front door. I have UPS set to auto deliver to local store, and USPS is good enough to leave packages with management office. Eh...really wish they would let me redirect delivery...

Ok. Ordered on the 30th. Got s8 on 19th. Registered the same day. Bought bundle on the 22nd. Got shipping info today for Monday delivery. I'm in Vermont.

I ordered on the 1st day of pre-orders. bought the bundle on the 22nd. Got my shipping notice a few minutes ago. Denver, CO. For some reason they also sent me the free VR Gear a few days ago. WTF? Selling one I guess. Weird.

One on 4/20 and the other on 4/21. Samsung rejected the one on 4/20, said invalid dates then invalid receipt. Even tho both phones were on the same receipt pre-ordered same day.

On one call Samsung said the 4/20 phone didn't make the FULL offer but the other one did. On another call Samsung said both made it. I'm going to call again now. Terrible Promo.

Finally got my FedEx tracking # via FedEx Delivery Manager & I should be getting the package on Monday 5/8.

I paid my $99 back on 4/22 and my status had been "Processing" until 5/1 when it changed to "Gift Sent"

Mine was attempted delivery today in Toledo but no one was home, I'll get it tomorrow.

Problem here is the time frame they deliver to my building I'm always at work.

Spoke to Samsung 32 minute hold. They are not sure why I didn't get an email to pay $99 on my second phone. First phone they said I didn't select full bundle... They are putting in a ticket to find out how I pay the $99 on my second phone. Although I should have received two bundles I'll be fine with just one. Still a very bad promo for Samsung. Too much effort and BS. They ran this promo for a month they should have been more prepared and offered more bundles...JMHO

Finally popped up on ship manager

Mines due to arrive tomorrow but I got this afternoon letting me know about the required signature. Gonna leave a note on the door to ask them to drop it off at the front office, hope they do it.

If the driver follows procedures, he will ignore your note if you're not home. If he leaves that package without a signature and something happens to it he's risking his job.

Maybe you should take a sick day lol. You've been waiting so long Also, if they attempt delivery once without success then you should be able to pick it up at the local facility where it's at. They will only attempt 3 times. I think it's a very stupid thing that Samsung had restrictions put on the delivery where you can't select to pick up at local facility.

 

[theelite1x87]

Yeah. I did that before. It was a Friday. Missed shipment, called number and had it routed to local FedEx store. Rep said it'll be there next day on Saturday. Went to FedEx store next day and guy at counter said my package wasn't there and won't be there until Monday or Tuesday at latest. I told him what rep told me and he's like no, it takes 1 to 2 business days to reroute to here but normally one. And since it was done on Friday it normally means it's there Monday. Long story short I was very mad. UPS doesn't give me those hassles. But...I think my wife should be home. Hopefully they will wait to get buzzed in for longer than 2 seconds...
