Samsung Galaxy S4 Shipping Status Thread

I just got an email from Amazon to say that there is a delay for dispatch for the S4 and will not be able to deliver on my original delivery date of the 26th April.
Instead it stated that delivery would 27th April.

Going from these dates it just looks like there releasing the same day as most.

So how it will be delivered on the same day its released I have no idea.

Thus, not expecting it until Monday or Tuesday :(

Now it looks like the FedEx package won't be delivered until 7 PM Thursday evening. At least, that's what the FedEx package tracking web site says. Too bad the store is closed at that hour.

Left Fort Worth, TX at around 11:30 AM. It's got to get all the way up to Ohio. And that's a lot of ground to cover for a semi-truck.

And here I am, scheduling an in-store appointment to activate the device and it may not even be there until the next day.

I still have no other information from Vodafone UK about my shipping status, Tracking still not working with my tracking number, all I know is it's first come first serve and the first bunch of pre-orders will be sent out for Friday 26th !

From my experience with online retailers in the UK, they only update preorder status once they're shipped. I'd be very surprised if they provided you with a tracking number already and if they did, would most likely mean they're just getting the items ready to send out in a big batch on Thursday. Try it Thursday evening after 6pm, should work then.

If you got a tracking number then it simply means they have created the shipment online and printed the sheet of paper. The tracking number will become available online once the carrier actually picked up the delivery and scanned it in first time.

At the moment we have more pre orders for the Samsung Galaxy S4 than we’ve had devices from Samsung. What we have will be delivered on Friday. We’re working closely with Samsung to get more phones and we’ll update you as soon as we’re able.

If you’ve pre-ordered you’ll be first in the queue as soon as more stock arrives. We’ll email you to let you know when you can expect to get your new phone.

As soon as Samsung let us know when they can deliver more stock, we’ll update this thread.

Thanks.
