So when will pre orders ship? Predictions?

Has anyone ordered from Samsung with trading in your old phone and have good success? Reason I ask is I've seen horror stories in the past of sending your old phone in for trade in and either they didn't credit the account or claim they didn't receive it or ineligible etc..... I've always gone through Best Buy before.

The horror stories aside. Most don't have any problems. Just be sure the trade in device meets all the requirements. Only once did I have a problem. As Samsung claimed I never sent it in. I just contacted them and after a while, they acknowledged that I did send it.

But otherwise I've traded in several phones, without a problem.
 
I wonder if they will allow the trade in of Two devices like they do with the Fold. I have a Tab S3 laying around I would like to unload. They were offering $140 for it late last year.

That would be pretty awesome if they did! Keep us posted if you hear anything!
 
My pre order won't ship for 4 weeks due to the exclusive colour so I am looking forward to you lot with your updates and gripes this time around lol.
 
We will have our samsung.com orders in hand on Wednesday, February 23rd (first batch those get their orders in the early window).

Exceptions apply on certain high demand models or colors etc like every year.
 
I'm going to try not to go crazy hitting my refresh button as time gets closer. Let's see if I have patience this time around lol.
 
Ahhh! Preorder shenanigans. Feels like home. Good to be here.

My prediction is those who got their orders in yesterday and today will have them in hand the 24th.
 
This is my guess as well, and we will be getting them on the 23rd. I should clarify that my guess is for the unlocked models coming directly from Samsung.
Same. I think last year maybe I had a shipping label the Sunday before the release date. But overall was shipped Monday and I received Wednesday.
 
Every year I've received mine early and my S22U Unlocked Black 1TB is scheduled for Friday the 25th so I'm guessing Wednesday the 23rd.
 
so I didn't have to go through all the aggravation yesterday. I received an text from Samsung today to pre-order my reserved S22 and there would be a $250 eCertificate included. Next time I will be more patient.
 
It's going to be estimated 3-4 weeks if you ordered one of the exclusive colors unlocked edition...
 
I got the Green 256 S22+ and delivery is the 25th. I currently had the S21 Ultra and will be selling it once it arrives.

Sounds like a loooong time, but it's only an extra week from the expected delivery of the other colors. Although that is long when everyone else has their new toy. 😀
