T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

[arunma]

When I last reported yesterday evening, my phone was still "ready for UPS." At long last it appears to have shipped! Not only that, but literally overnight it made it all the way from Louisville to Minneapolis. It says it's scheduled for delivery by the end of the day. Looks like I'll be getting my phone today!

It departed Minneapolis, presumably to go to a distribution center in one of the suburbs. I was planning to work from home today. But maybe I'll just make a run back in the morning or afternoon to grab it.

So assuming all goes according to plan, rest easy folks. You can presumably go from "ready for UPS" at night to having your phone by the next evening!

Does anyone think the carriers stores will already have cases for the phone or will they wait until Friday when they put out the phone itself?

Why would you give your hard earn money to those overprice cases the carriers sell? I never buy from them, they're overprice. I always buy from Amazon! I got this baby for $16!!

Woke up to "Out for Delivery"! This is like Christmas morning for adults. Lol

 

[Mr_Spencer]

mine disappeared and never came back, T-Mobile said they saw it paid, and UPS shows "Out for Delivery"

so I hope the charge just goes away forever

Curious.
I hope it disappears too then. Lol. I could use an extra $200.

Your in the East Valley AZ I am as well and I have every tracking number pulled up that came from TMOBILE today via UPS. If you wait in the next hour or so your tracking number will go from label created to out for delivery by the end of the day on 4/19/17. Whoo hoo!

you were right! I woke up to this!

My status states my phone will be dropped off by the end of the day.

Because I really like the cases that Samsung produces, and the carrier stores usually have them.

Wait what? You mean this beauty?

Looks like next time I won't order the day preorder goes live. I had to cancel that order since my bank thought the charge was fraud last week and T-Mobile did not try charging my card again after I called them.

I just cancelled my original order that was on hold and made a new order yesterday. Then woke up to this! That was fast!

as do I

I pre-ordered the case from Amazon, but it shows delivery for the 24th. that's with Prime and ordering on April 3rd.

But my S8+ is out for delivery, so I'm going to swing by a Tmo store to see if they have it in stock. There is a corporate and a reseller nearby, so I'll try both

I see mine is scheduled for delivery today 4/19/2017. Can't wait. But I'm a bit concerned about the screen issue some Korean customers are having, where the screen is turning reddish.

That is ridiculous. Samsung said they test all of their phones so why is this happening to so many people. Samsung needs to get it together. They say you can correct it by adjusting some settings but customers say it's not helping. I sure do hope that my phone is good to go or I'll really be seeing red.
