every carrier screws up the initial shipments of any non white/black phone, so this wont be any different..

since 99% of people want white or black, and the demand has been strong for preorders on this phone, you can be that Samsung is pumping out as many black/white ones as they possibly can first, and then they will get around to the "niche" colors of gold and green once they fill the "mainstream" pipeline..

I wanted a gold or green one too, but based on the horrible delivery of previous "non white or black" phones by the carriers, I decided to just get a black one, knowing it would be a L O N G wait to get a different color..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Just spoke to in store manager at T-Mobile who told me that the gold S6 edges will not be sold in stores...

He said they are for online orders only and will be delivered in the order the pre-orders were received.

Edit: he also said they will be receiving their inventory for Friday's launch tomorrow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Mine says backordered still......... Wtf I wonder when I'm going to get mines doesn't even show a shipping date like you guys

Called tmobile they said they will still be shipping them on the 10th girl din't sound 2 knowledgeable but I guess lol........ My friend works for a store and he says they are receiving their s6 on thursday he will let me know if they have any gold ones so i could just cancel my pre-order but I doubt they will get any
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
What is BS is T-Mobile has an eta from Samsung on these devices being shipped I'm sure... They just aren't sharing with us what is going on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
You should be able to get a slotted shipping date like us on here:

https://explore.t-mobile.com/order-status

Just need your order number and the zip code the phone is being sent to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Yea pure bull**** I guess this threat is going to be around for longer than we all expected...... I really don't see this device being shipped out on the 10th anymore

this phone just seems to be full of problems

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
you might want to consider a black or white one then..I have a feeling the colors are gonna take forever..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
So pissed. I think im going to cancel my order tomorrow. Pretty pissed with t-mobile telling me in store it would ship on 10th
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
Well I guess I better look at my order again now too. Smfh, god damn samsung/ t-mobile.

I was really excited for the gold but the constant delays is frustrating the heck outta me

I don't blame you for being mad; unfortunately, unless you find a good store with intelligent employees, they are dumber than a box or rocks. And, as nice as the phone cs people are, they are no better...

I got my pre order 3 days ago, and when I was calling in, they kept insisting that NO PHONES would be shipped before April 10th, even though I knew several folks who had their phones on April 2nd..

Even a supervisor that I got through to said his system was saying that nothing was going out until April 10th, even though it was April 4th, and he said 10 people had called him that day to ask for Activation!!!

I got mine on April 5th, btw. but its a 64 gig black

their logistic/pre order system is horrible...

I've been going at it with Tmo for hours on Twitter dm messages.... Gaining no ground. Even called sammy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Ohhhh Just Great where do you guys see the date that is backordered 2 ??? Just checked mine again now and Mines is just with the regular backorder thing no date tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
Ok, I went to a best buy store today in MD and the Samsung rep had a gold demo model in hand. First it looked more chrome than gold in some light and then more beautifully golden in others which makes me want this more and more. That gold was so sexy when it shimmered. He did say that Samsung was pumping out more of the traditional colors (Black/White) for release but the gold should be swiftly behind it whatever that means but with "Substantially limited availability" in store. So those who preordered, looks like it will be a no go until sometime next week or later.

It's just annoying that nobody that works at T-Mobile knows anything about the dates,

from the beginning all they had to do is note the gold platinum edition are not available at this time, Samsung will have this model estimated available between 4/21 and 5/1, if you look at all the other carriers the gold platinum edition is available late in April or early May, only T-Mobile somehow assumed they would have it at launch date, and no matter who I asked they all said we expect to have it at launch, or you will receive it by 4/10 or 4/11.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] anthonyRI:
i've been following this thread for awhile and decided to sign up. I ordered my gold variant on 4/1 in store and just got the following update.

Item: Samsung Galaxy S® 6 edge - Gold Platinum - 64GB

Status: Awaiting more shipments from Samsung. Expected to ship between 04/15/2015 and 04/22/2015

I am pissed off. I am going on vacation on the 24th, I better get the phone by then....

I am close to just going to the store and getting a black variant for the 14 day hold over (My current s5 screen is all cracked).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Those of you with Twitter accounts, you should either follow my comments BajaSur83 or start voicing your opinion on this to t-mobile help.

I'm going to continue looking for answers from them all day online

anthonyRI,

I wouldn't count on it, I found it strange at the time that Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and some of the other carriers and partners had it slated for April 27, May 1 delivery, but that T-Mobile somehow got its hands on some earlier than everyone else. I have given up, and think a more realistic date of 4/27-5/1 is more appropriate for delivery. I'm still upset with T-Mobile though for not being clear about device availability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] viper12383:
Well, it's easy to believe TMo would have the gold phone before other carriers when they had the black and white 2 weeks in advanced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] generalissimo8:
FYI -- in today's Guardian:

"Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge faces shortages as demand outstrips supply

Higher than expected demand for difficult-to-manufacture curved screen smartphone means company is unlikely to be able to keep up "
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
you guys waiting for gold need to just grab a black or white one...put a gold case on it if color is that important to you, but I'll bet its at least a month before the gold or green ones show up anywhere..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Just confirmed with another in store manager gold will not be carried in store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] anthonyRI:
I haven't used a case in years hence why I care about what color phone I receive... Believe me if I used a case I would have just purchased the phone that would come the quickest
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spridell:
I think its already been confirmed the Green version isnt even coming to the United States
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cheapshot789:
If your gonna put a case on these types of phones ie premium handsets it defeats the whole point and cover the nice designs of the handsets.

Response I got right now..... I guess tomorrow we will find out if anybody gets a tracking # or not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cledee:
Don't believe them,

they don't have the devices yet otherwise some people who pre-ordered on 3/31 would already have their devices. Some people have updated status stating they will receive devices between 4/11 and 4/15 and the rest of us who pre-ordered late on 3/31 and afterwards have device will ship between 4/14 and 4/21.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Whatever whenever i finally get it I'll get it, As long as the thing doesn't come scratched or something lol....... I did call and had them promise me I will get the $100 netflix credit whenever I recieved my phone even talked to a supervisor to confirm it

JUST CHECKED MINE

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
What does your order status say on the t mobile website? Does it say shipping tomorrow? Or does it say what all of ours say between 4/15 and 4/22
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
If I recall correctly, when black and white first started shipping some of the order statuses were not updating right away. Might be better to use your phone number as a reference on the ups site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
I now have are on Twitter who IS GUARANTEEING shipment starts tomorrow for gold 64s

It's too bad my xda app is all jacked up and I can't attach photos

good news to hear, as i to have been patiently waiting for more concrete info on the availability of the gold s6 edge 64gb . I havent pre ordered either :(, i was hoping id be able to walk into a retailer and picking one up, what makes it worst is im going away for week on Saturday so waiting ofr a delivery isnt a option :( for a gadget feen like myself, but if worst comes to worst ill be doing over night to temporary location if need be ASSUMING i can even get a rapid shipment of the gold s6 edge tomorrow :( but the prospects are seeming to fade on that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
You can always pre-order then cancel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mrmenace:
i would but it seems NO retailer will have gold on launch, i even spoke to a buddy of mines out in Raleigh North Carolina, His Store Got only black and white edge's aswell :(

the feen in me makes me want to cave in for a 64gb black edge, but im trying to hold out :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] drmclove69:
Just spoke with a T-Mobile rep that confirmed that stores will not he receiving gold tomorrow until all the backorders have gone thru. :/ They just received there shipment today and like he said only white and black. I am just going to settle with the white and hope someone down the road wants to trade!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
I thought about caving in on white, but seeing as I already waited this long I might as well wait for my shipment. Just irks me that if I would've picked white I would've had this phone days ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
See attached
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] drmclove69:
Yeah deff feel you guys. Spoke with a better T-Mobile store which is the busiest in my state and has more info. She said if I go in tomorrow morning I will be able to get the 128 shipped to my house tomorrow just like purchasing any other phone from them since its not on backorder and it officially releases tomorrow! So nvm on the white I will just bump up to the 128gb!

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Nice! I will see tomorrow if it really changes the info about being backordered and if so I will just get the 64 since 128 is way too much for me anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
I hope it works out for you guys waiting on the gold; t mobile shipping and logistics are always questionable, but if you get a tracking number for your gold phone, let us know!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
That Tmo representative in that Twitter screenshot above seems to be pretty darn confident they are shipping tomorrow...

If I don't get a tracking number by end of day tomorrow I'll try and find a black 64 in store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
This is good news but here's a question, if the gold 64edge ships out tomorrow and I chose overnight shipping will it be delivered on Saturday or Monday. I don't think UPS delivers on Saturday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
for your sake, I hope you are right, but I have never had a good experience with Tmobile when it comes to pre ordering or logistics on a brand new phone, so I hope this time its good for you..

you might have seen my posts elsewhere, when I was pre ordered my black 64 several days ago; I paid for next day air, and they sent it ground; when I called to ask for tracking info on April 4th, they told me that NO PHONES were being shipped until April 10th, period, and even when I got to a supervisor, he said their system still said absolutely no shipments until April 10th, he admitted that many people had called him that day and the day before to activate their phones, that they had obviously received way before April 10th.

I really like Tmobile for every other aspect of how they treat customers, but when it comes to pre-orders/logistics, they are absolutely horrible..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cledee:
This rep seems to think I will receive it tomorrow. He said he could not change address since it will arrive tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
if you don't get a tracking number, don't count on getting it tomorrow..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
If this turns out to be true I'm going to have a BIG problem as I'm am out of town and not returning til Saturday. Are there any options are far as having it held at UPS??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cledee:
I will confirm, I asked for a tracking, I am getting email in 30 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
they can send you an email in 30 seconds, so that's not promising..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cheapshot789:
The best way to check is if you have been charged already, then you will receive it soon if not don't count on it they have to charge you first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eagle_j:
Well, I just had a live chat session too with a tmo rep. Not helpful at all. He kept telling me it's typical to run out of inventory within first 48 hours, and my status shows backordered. There is no estimate available date.

I ordered my phone one 3/31, within the first 6 hours!

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

what exact model is yours
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
Does anyone know if UPS delivers on Saturday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
nope, not normally....only if you pay for next day air, Saturday delivery, which would be about 75 dollars extra!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cheapshot789:
Yes they do but you have to choose the Saturday delivery option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] generalissimo8:
Yes, this is a free service from UPS. They can hold it for up to 5 days. You can call UPS at 1-800-742-5877, or sign up for UPS My Choice online (make sure you sign up with the EXACT SAME address as the shipping address you used to make the order). Once T-Mobile assigns the package an UPS tracking number, it will almost immediately appear under the Tracking tab and UPS will send you an e-mail notification (make sure this isn't turned off in your E-mail Preferences). Select the package, and then you have the choice of:

Pickup my Package at a UPS Location

>Have your package held at a UPS location such as a UPS Access Point™ location or a UPS Customer Center.

Deliver my Package to Another Address

>Have your package delivered to another address when you will not be home.

Deliver my Package on Another Day

>Have your package delivered on a different day.

Tmobile order entry logistics is shameful..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cledee:
Nope, just more lies. It's ok, I gave T-Mobile a choice today, I pre-ordered from AT&T and told T-Mobile they have about a week to get it to me before I switch my service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KevinLa93:
So I just got charged for my 64gb gold s6. Hopefully that means I'll get it soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
What was your projected ship date on the order status page? What day and time did you order?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Thedonj77:
Figures as such. I was really thinking about switching to AT&T due to the poor and shoddy experience with them regarding this whole process. Really disappointing on how they did this. I really don't know who to blame

any update my other gold friends?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
The T-Mobile preorder thread had a few mentions of the gold s6 being charged and shipped. However, I have yet to see anyone mention the gold s6 edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DNA:
I was still thinking should I just cancel the order placed on the 31st and pick up a black one in store tomorrow. I've been searching for photos and videos of gold platinum edge since the day tmo accepted preorder of the black and white ones, and none I found really show how yellowish or silverish the gold color is until I found this 5 min ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFdkFLs3Yqk.

Now I know I should wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
it sucks you guys were all lied to about getting your gold edge's shipped out yesterday...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
Here's a good one it's the regular s6 but it has many viewing angles of the color. Fair warning it's in Vietnamese.

https://youtu.be/V03J8Femmew
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KevinLa93:
I ordered mine on the 2nd and its projected to be delivered on the 16th :( gotta wait a whole week. Hopefully it comes sooner
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PaulG1488:
That's nuts, usually when you get charged it's a sign of the phone about to be shipped. Hopefully you don't have to wait long.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
when it comes to Tmobile and pre ordering, there is no "normal", or usual events..

its horrible the way they have jacked around the folks who pre ordered gold phones.

they should have just told people they do not know exactly when they will get them, instead of pretending they would ship them out by April 10th, and lying to people as recently as last night, promising tracking number and such, and never delivering them. That's NOT the way you improve you image to consumers..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] anthonyRI:
Nothing has changed on my order status :( . I have a bad feeling its going to be another 7-14 days before my device comes in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
I'm going to blast t mobile so hard on Twitter if mine doesn't process today. I have multiple screen shots of Conversation from yesterday where a rep promised me my device was doing today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Agree I got lied 2 also a couple times saying the phone will ship by the 10th which I knew it was true at all so I really didn't have any hope of a tracking # today lol...... Sometimes I wonder if they really have no info on it or they just actually are told to lie so people don't cancel pre-orders I'll wait i won't die using my gs5 for another week
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] anthonyRI:
Can you let me know what you get as a response? I'm curious when it's going to process. I wouldn't care at all if they told me this when I ordered it in store on April 1st. I was told 7-10 day MAX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Processed ? what do you mean by that ? I got charged for the amount of the phone the day I ordered it and is in backorder like everybody else lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
That's strange, your not supposed to get charged for the device until it is shipped, at least on the jump plan.

Crossing fingers that we all hear good news today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
Yep, it would be interesting to know if these employees are instructed to lie to customers so they don't cancel their pre orders, or they are just rat bastards, who get some sort of sick thrill by getting people hopes up, knowing they are lying out right.

I wonder if their CEO knows about this kind of nonsense? Isn't there a email address you guys could use to tell him about this? I know its not their first new phone roll out that pre order customers were lied to about the actual status of their pre orders.. you could send him some of those online convos you had where you were lied to outright about orders being shipped, and emails with tracking number were going to be sent "within 30 minutes"..
