T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

I wonder who on this thread will be the first person to receive a UPS notice saying:

"...you have a package coming on __day, April 1_, 2017."

That really is the next event everyone is waiting for!
 
And if it doesn't come on Friday the 21st you are looking at Monday the 24th. :(

Blasphemy! You just wanted to stir the pot...:D

No text here. I ordered on 4/6 or 4/7. It is such fun to read predictions and how peeps are trying to read into every single bit of news/pattern. LOL
 
Just pre-ordered the Midnight Black S8+ from T-Mobile on monday! Super excited!

Now the only thing is, do I trade in my Galaxy S7 Edge for ~$200, or keep it as a backup/ find something useful to use it with?

I outright bought the phone from AT&T a year ago, then had it unlocked and switched to T-Mobile in September. Never been happier.

Sell it on Swappa for at least $360
 
I received the text message on April 11th at 6:06pm EST.

"Get ready! The Samsung Galaxy S8 releases April 21st. We’re packing your T-Mobile order# so you might see applicable charges on your card. We will start shipping on April 19 prior to its release."

My credit card has been charged on Wednesday April 12th and according to their website the cards for preorders don't get charged until the device has actually been shipped. I haven't received any Tracking info and the website still says "Order is being processed". Hopefully since my card was charged I will get it Thurstay April 13th or 14th.

When I pre ordered the Note 7 last year that wasn't the case. Most of our cards were charged that Thur or Friday the week before, shipping labels made that weekend and the Device shipped Wed to us.

Unless they count shipping right when they begin to send the shipping info to UPS, not when it's ready to be actually sent to us.
 
They need to stick to their policy and not charge people until the devices have been shipped. Their own website literally states, that credit cards will not be charged until the preorder has actually been shipped.

While I agree with you entirely, I don't feel like I have any choice. They make the rules.

I don't think any of the other cell providers are any better. They have their own quirks too, unfortunately.
