T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

[EMGSM]

Yep. They always used UPS to ship me phones.

Yeah I always wait by my window for the big bown truck

Would love to see it early. I will use MyUps to hold for pickup so depending I may leave work early or go in a little late once it shows at the ups terminal for pickup

Do you set that up first? Or wait until you get an email that the label was ordered or whatever?

I have a MyUps account I started when the Note 7 was going on. It automatically updates whenever any ups activity occurs that's going to or coming from my house

You can redirect individual packages once they have an origin scan.

How many of ya got the extra $99 kit with the 256gb sd card? That seems pretty legit. It looks like the SD card alone is $130. I was trying to order a black and purple s8+ on Samsung.com, trying to get a promo code(something on the price). No luck.

@blueyzfr6:

while the card itself costs more than the bundle does, this bundle deal won't work out for most of us. Reason:

who wants the S8/S8+ to arrive and have it sit at your home waiting for 60 days while this bundle is "on its way"?

the bundle won't come for a long, long time after the phone arrives.

i know for certain that when the phone arrives, i'd like to insert the MicroSD card in right away and charge it up and get it going asap, not wait 60+ days until the card arrives!

the timing of the card's arrival is "off", imho.

With my Note 7 I got two of the SD cards and a Gear VR. I don't remember how long any of them took, but it was way less than 60 days. I wanna say 3 weeks.

I received 3 microsd cards during the Note 7 fun and none of them took more than 4 weeks. The first one arrived 9 days after I got the phone.

It could take up to 8 weeks but it will likely be much sooner than that.

OK this was what I was looking for. I have a MyUps account.

So when I get an email from UPS and I know it is the S8+, I can then set it so I can pick it up at the UPS location instead of having it delivered?

That seems like a good idea

Yes sir, you sure can. I do that with every phone or anything that requires signature. I have a customer center about 10 miles from my house so my holds are always ready at 9am.

Just watch, depending where you redirect you may be adding an additional day. That hapoened when I got my backup phone V20 a couple weeks ago

Even if ya order it from the Samsung website??

There's no signature required on phones from T-mobile by UPS. Unless you live in some sketchy area and there's a chance someone may pickup your package from your doorstep, there is no need to reroute.

 

[Arsenio Martins]

Day of delivery for 8 hours

 

[amyf27]

Waiting 8 hours.. Where is yours delivering to? I'm going to use my UPS so I can pick it up probably in the morning of the day it is available

 

[Arsenio Martins]

I'm worried if I hold it there something will happen like having to pick it up next day for some dumbass reason.
