So when will pre orders ship? Predictions?

Why do You say that about Swappa? Have you had a bad experience with them? I was thinking of selling my iPhone 13 Pro on there.. figured it is way safer than eBay etc

I sell most of my old phones via Swappa. Never had a problem with fraudulent buyers. But just be prepared to get low balled. But that happens any where you sell stuff.

Sometime between now and next year

I was talking about Samsung not Swappa. I've never traded in a phone on the internet before.

I recall always getting everything at once in the package. I don't recall them ever shipping separately. I'd imagine it would be more costly as well.

I got the 45 watt charger today by itself. It came from Irving Tx to San Antonio and in 2 days.

 

[Gary02468]

gosh golly, that kind of defies reasoning!

if they don't go by the time of when the order was placed, what else can they possibly go by then? they couldn't possibly go by last names, as that would make no sense whatsoever.

Your mistake is that you're assuming that there's some criterion that they uniformly "go by". More likely, the orders are sent to dozens of different databases, associated with different distribution centers and different delivery services, for Samsung's logistical convenience. Even if orders are processed more or less chronologically within each database, there'd be no attempt to synchronize between different databases.

I got my UPS tracking number for both phones I ordered through Sprint 15 minutes into the Unpacked event. Delivery date 2/21. Woohooo! Just to be clear, I got the tracking number this morning, not 15 minutes into Unpacked. Just wanted to clarify that!

What gets me is I’ve preordered previous devices from Samsung and I’ve never experienced where I received a shipping label this quick.

The last device I preorder from Samsung, I received my shipping label on Friday and movement Sunday and I received it Wednesday.

I know it’s a stretch, but I think we may be lucky. But if we aren’t… oh well lol

 

[jadenerd]

My order still shows "In Process" with delivery on the 25th but because of this thread I checked Fed Ex Delivery Manager and a shipping label has been created with shipping on the 19th and delivery on the 22nd. I thought Samsung ships in 2 days. Not complaining, though! I'm so happy that I checked as I have time to adjust my schedule so I can be home to accept delivery.

Recent releases they are creating FedEx labels in advance like they have done now. Even for Fold 3 it was the same late last year. It's not shipping earlier than the label indicates. We will get it on Feb 22nd as specified on the shipping label.

19th is a Saturday. If it's shipping 2nd day air you'd think the delivery date would be Monday. Unless they don't count sunday as a business day which is a factor. If we were to get them this Friday they would have to ship out tomorrow night. If by early evening it hasn't been picked up then next week we will get them.

 

[jadenerd]

I didn't think about Sunday being a non-event day, so they'll probably go to a local distribution center on Saturday and actually ship out on Monday.

Fedex 2nd day shipping can be painfully slow. I would have paid the extra money to get next day. They used to give you that option. I believe the Note 9 or 10 was the last phone for that if I remember right many of us didn't get it next day though and they refunded us the money since we didn't get it the next day. I think that's when they were still using UPS.

FedEx has been terrible here, with items sitting in the local distribution center for a day or two after the expected delivery date. I still will hold out hope for Tuesday as I can't be home on Wed and will have to go chasing the phone if it's delayed until then.

We have seen this circus many times. It ships on weekend (doesn't matter Saturday or Sunday) but the first business day that's counted is Monday. And 2nd day is Tuesday Feb 22nd. So if it ships on Feb 19th Saturday it'll deliver on Tuesday via FedEx 2day. Which is what the FedEx label correctly says.

There will be some unfortunate people who FedEx will screw up and deliver later than 22nd and may be there is some lucky soul that gets on 21st. But majority will get on Feb 22nd Tuesday via FedEx 2 day when it ships weekend.

My anticipated ship date is Friday 2/18. Delivery 2/22 would that make it actually delivery 21st? Or does the fact that Monday is a holiday push delivery to the 22nd?

I don't think that means much. Probably depends on what area of the country you live in if it gets shipped 18th or 19th.

We can all only guess, as I said most likely Feb 22nd. If you get on 21st then consider yourself lucky. Best is to just relax and expect it on Feb 22 as mentioned in the FedEx label. If it comes before that it's a bonus

The 19th is a Saturday.... weekends don't officially count in the 2 days, hence - Tuesday.

Monday is also a federal holiday.

Monday is also a federal holiday.

On FedEx's site, they show Monday as "modified schedule", whatever that means.
