T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

[amyf27]

I set my order up through T-Force, and the rep said she was able to get me free overnight shipping. I kinda thought they were all free overnight, and she was just saying that to make herself sound better. Either way though, in the past that's always how it's worked for me for preorders. I've never paid extra for shipping. Leaves Louisville, lands in Atlanta, gets to my hub in plenty of time to get out for delivery the same day.

Same here that leaves Louisville but goes to Cleveland and goes to the delivery hugs from there

Oh that's nice, I didn't know we had shipping options but if yours is free for overnight shipping then why wouldn't everyone get overnight shipping also?

When you go to UPS and look at your order what does it say next to service level? Mine says UPS Next Day Air Saver, I want to know what yours says so I can tell the reps that's how I want my Note 8 shipped when I order it

I ordered the Gear S3 last week from T-Mo on 4/11. I paid for overnight shipping. It shipped out early on 4/12 from from L'ville, Ky. I was able to pick it up at 10:30am on 4/12 from the Doraville, Ga hub.

How much did they charge you for overnight shipping?

Mine shows 1.50 LBS and the same UPS Next Day Air Saver shipping as you and probably 99% of other people.

Same here my and go from there to Cleveland it then to the delivery ports

There seems to be 2 main departure hubs in the Atlanta area. If my order goes through the Doraville hub and leaves by 7 am I get orders that day, if it goes through Hapeville it could take another 2 days. I'm guessing Doraville must be a priority hub. The weird thing is Hapeville is practically next door to the airport.

Mine says Next Day Air Saver as well. I checked and the only difference between that and Next Day Air is the delivery time. Both guaranteed next day. Saver is 3-4:30. Normal NDA is 10:30-noon. There are a couple above those, but I'd imagine they'd cost a fortune.

Free ups next day air saver here too

A lot of Atlanta people here! My shipments usually go through the Doraville hub, but since I work right outside East Atlanta and live in Lithonia it's never convenient to actually go there and pick it up since it's out of the way.

 

[msm0511]

The text from T-mobile did say shipping would start on 4/18. I know they contradict everything they say. I would think the 19th will be the big delivery day, with some getting theirs on 4/18.

I really don't get T-Mo's systems. My S8+ order only shows up on the app. It's nowhere to be found on mytmo's site. I've had stuff say order being processed for 2 weeks after I've gotten it, and gotten a tracking number email before the order is processing email.

I can't remember offhand​. It was twenty-something.

It seems that way doesn't it! I don't live in Atlanta anymore though. I'm bout 1 1/2 north of there now. Sometimes I miss it, but where I live now is so much cheaper. I used to say I'd never live OTP, but you know, age happens. LOL

So is mine the only one that has a departure scan and says in transit? Maybe someone made a mistake and let mine slip through.

That's not bad price, I guess you don't get shipping options when it comes to pre-orders but that would make sense because they are probably shipping all the pre-orders in massive bundles. Having some people's devices ship earlier than others would be a logistic headache but once the launch happens I'm sure overnight shipping will be available.

What's your delivery date?

 

[Ds Note 2 Sprint]

These have overnight shipping or did you pay extra for that because I thought it was UPS Next Day Air Saver?

Mine on UPS states next day air saver but on T-Mobile order shows free overnight (1business day) shipping

 

[amyf27]

It's the same. There's next day saver, standard overnight, priority overnight. All are next business day with delivery times if day being the variant

Probably there were one or two instances during Note 7 who had origin scan as well but can't remember when it actually delivered for them.

But 99% of the people it's going to be delivered 19th or 20th. I still believe we won't see movement until Monday or Tuesday night. Your's is special case which has origin scan so let's see if yours moves thru Sunday night for Monday delivery.

I wish I would get on 4/18 still haven't been charged yet I got that text!!
