Samsung Galaxy S4 Shipping Status Thread

[barryl85]

(Borrowed this idea from the HTC One forum)

Here's my status:

Black Mist Samsung Galaxy S4 16GB Vodafone UK

DATE ORDERED:05/04/2013
CURRENT STATUS: Estimated Delivery: Friday, 26 Apr 2013 Subject to confirmation.

OTHER: Samsung announced official UK launch date has now moved to 27th April, Vodafone (atm) have said they are still shipping 26th as they haven't had any official word from Samsung.

What about everyone else?

Status: Thanks for pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S4 16GB. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you on or before Saturday, April 27. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder. Since we will be processing many pre-orders so quickly, your tracking number takes a little longer to get to you than normal. Do not worry. Your tracking email may come as late as Friday, 4/26 when your phone is already on its way to your door. Thanks for your patience.

It's reported here http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2013/04/samsung_galaxy_s4_uk_release_date_confirmed/ that although it's officially released in the UK on the 27th,some retailers and networks should be able to deliver on the 26th

Has anyone ordered from sprint online before? Any chance of receiving the phone really like by Thursday?

I have preordered 3 times from the Sprint website and all 3 times the phones came on the actual day stated. I have heard of a few getting theirs sooner but I would not count on it.

Releasing a phone on a Saturday seems like a stupid idea to me especially for those preordered their phone via website. Anyone had any experience using Carphone Warehouse for preorders? I really hope I'm not waiting now until the Monday seeing how a lot of couriers don't even deliver on a Saturday.

 

[SMALBA]

Well I decided to pre order in store. I paid $50 for a gift card and they will hold a phone for me and I can go in on the 27th and pay for it. I just hope they get it in early like perhaps on friday the 26th .

 

[GatorfanDroid]

Damn I wish I could pre order this phone. Ugh . Jobless sucks right now.

Pre-orders aren't affected, and handsets should be with the customer, or delivered to store, on Friday April 26th.

That is good news as I have pre-ordered for delivery to store. What is your source for this?

 

[rkkeller]

Sold out on Sprint already, not even 2 days.

Pre-order sold out! Our Samsung Galaxy S

I phoned Carphone Warehouse earlier and they said to me that I should still receive on the Friday.

The horse's mouth; that's what retail stores have been told.

I hope you are right about this ! I got friday 26th booked off from work as no one would be in to accept delivery and if it ends up a Sat or Mon delivery i've wasted a holiday and will potentially miss the delivery on Monday

 

[NineToTheSky]

waiting for mine. Lets hope to get it by tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Where are you getting it from?

 

[rkkeller]

I have my storage card already, it just arrived, so now where is my S4?

SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card

 

[rushmore]

Yeah, well while all you people have your shiny new phones, US Verizon people like me will have an entire month to get an even better product, since more time to get the bugs out..... More bloat too! Are there any bars open yet?

 

[KupKrazy]

I don't have a shipping status here in the US yet but I notice on my AT&T preorder online that the phone is listed as:

Samsung I337 BLK 16GB PHONE

Do other people who pre-ordered with AT&T see the same thing?

Now, I notice on the AT&T premiere site, it shows my same pre-order with the following description:

Samsung Galaxy S(R) 4 (Black Mist)


I swear, that first model number looks like some hacker is playing a joke with me by writing 'l337 blk phone'... because I'm pretty sure that is not the model number, right? lol

Ha ha it's definitely because the black one is l337 !!

Looks like they are starting to ship. AT&T has begun sending out emails.

Dear Valued AT&T Customer,

Thank you for ordering the Samsung Galaxy S

I just got this too... I hope it isn't an error. On the other hand, I was hoping to get some accessories before the phone gets here.

Yea I received that email..by the 25th... I don't think its an error...I received my HTC one on April 15th and the launch and ship date was the 19th......AT&T Starting off good this year...lol...we'll see
Though still have the next iphone and note 3 to go ....

 

[Pappy35]

I just got that same e-mail and pre-ordered on the day it started. Since I paid for overnight hopefully I'll have it Thursday.

 

[trparky]

I put my pre-order in the day it started too. Hopefully, since I got the same email you guys received, it will show up in the store on Thursday. I had them set it up to ship to the corporate store that I bought it at since there's other phones I have to activate as well.
