Screenshot from my post in last year's thread for the S9 pre-orders. If you see my posts after this one, myself and others in my area did not receive our phones until the evening of the 13th. Even though it clearly says the 12th.
So it's not that you are wrong, just that what you are saying is not true for everyone.View attachment 298971
Same experience I had last year. I'd be thrilled for my phone to show up tomorrow. I'm also not going to be surprised if I receive a UPS exception notice and new delivery date of Tuesday.
