Sprint Pre-order Delivery?

[RawisTheGameHhH]

do you guys have any guess as to when we will start to receive our phones? i really like seeing this statement on the pre-order "If you pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S III, we?ll do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21"

in addition i really hope a signature is not required at the time of delivery!

I don't know if this applies for all phones but maybe only for HTC Evo 4G LTE since it was a special case but it looked like it was a whole week early. People were getting the HTC EVO 4g LTE on May 24 and the release date was June 2. I'm hoping its always a week early but don't take my word for it, its mere speculation

the evo lte release date was actually a week earlier but customs through that for a loop

Since the phone comes out the 21st which is a Thursday, my guess is they'll start shipping preorders on Monday of that week

AT&T says they will ship theirs out on 6/18; hope Sprint follows that; i wonder if they are in the country yet

the warehouse will commence shipping devices on June 21 to pre-order customers, in no particular order --for example: customer A pre-ordered a phone exactly at 12:00am June 5, becoming the first order online / customer B ordered hers on June 7 at 3:00pm..........both parcels --for A + B-- ship out on June 21.

Priority for shipping is based on geography..........only thing, Sprint WebSales Support is not willing to elaborate how this would work.

A small number of devices will be available for sale directly at the store; however, this is a limited supply, sure to sell out.

Pre-order supplies take precedence over store supply on June 21.

--as related by customer support rep at Sprint WebSales Support.

NOTE: who knows how reliable this information is, the one single constant in the world is change.

i dont see them shipping the phones on 6/21 just because no one would get it till the next week since its a Thursday and I am sure they are not paying for Saturday delivery; unless they use overnight delivery

On their preorder page and in the email I received stated,

" If you pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S III, we’ll do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21 and we’ll send you an email the second it ships."

To even have a chance to do this, the phones would need to be shipped at least 3 days prior. Or 1 if overnighted.

agreed; just hoping Apple doesn't delay it a week like it did to the Evo LTE

not sure what you are checking but when i check my order on sprint.com it says:

Status: Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

Of course it's normal. The next step is phone arrives to warehouse, then it will be ready to ship which you should receive another email regarding your tracking number.

Actually what you have is an order#. According to sprint.com, it can take up to 24 hours to show your order. When it shows up, it will show which phone you ordered but the tracking# will be blank until it ships.

i would expect deliveries to be late since Apple added the SIII to their list
