My 2 OP3'S where ordered this morning! Got 2 gray models to be delivered on or before September 21! Are they typically running about 9 days out, or are they quicker than that?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
That's great news! I responded to your other post about the S3. It was a long response but my phone froze and it didn't get posted. Ugh! Just said I'm impressed your S3 is still working. The S3 was my favourite phone at that time and I continued to buy Samsung phones. I'm going to be using the OP3 on my second line.

Anyways so happy you're getting your phone today! Let me know know what you think of it. It's a big upgrade from the S3 that's for sure.

Still no updates for me. Will email them later if they don't update my status.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Race2Speed:
My phone has taken a tour of China and sits in Hong Kong as well even with an estimated delivery date of today according to DHL, so unless they have Doc Brown and an Delorean, not sure it will arrive today but hopefully tomorrow or later this week. It's been long enough since it was ordered on 8/22.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
That's terrible. I know tracking for DHL is pretty bad. Did you contact One Plus? You should've received your phone by now if you placed your order on Aug 22nd.

I hope your phone arrives today. DHL is not good at updating their tracking either so hopefully your phone is enroute.

9 december ... You live in the future ????
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Abhi740:
Yeah I took excellent care of my S3 since it was my first phone. I literally cared for it as if it was my kid, but just recently the unavoidable slow down of android came down upon my S3. Also I still have the stock rom touch wiz installed on it and no root as well. I did have to swap the battery last year though since I was getting very bad battery life. I am still keeping my S3 as a keepsake or as a back up phone. In my opinion the S3 and S5 were the best phones by far made by Samsung, the reason I didn't update to the S5 was because my S3 was still running good as new back then. I will keep you posted about what I think about the OP3 with pictures of the unboxing after I get home from University and open the UPS box which will be delivered to my home. I really do hope you get an update from UPS soon also don't worry about customs since UPS had no problems bringing my OP3 across the border.

Yep you have caught DR.WHO well done lol. All jokes aside it is being delivered September 12 (Today) not December 9th. :p
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tuanhuy0301:
mine just arrived today. Unlock bootloader and install cm13 sultan on it. Feel great, just like every nexus I owned. I could say it worth my waiting so far :D
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Chandino B:
Why would UPS give an estimated shipping date before they even receive a package?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm in the same boat as you, I ordered the 22nd as well, est today but it was in Hong Kong earlier today. I'm guessing Wednesday or Thursday for delivery... sucks but at least it's not in Oneplus' hands cuz they don't know how to fulfil orders

Our phones are probably hanging out
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] odbro:
Poland seems to be the origin for EU phones.

Got contacted (sms) by dhl wether I like to go to a pickup store or sent to my address.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmnrmr:
How did they contact you if OnePlus promises to start shipping only on 17th?

Also choose priority shipping and it said that order should be delivered on 20th in Latvia.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] odbro:
This is what I see on oneplus site.

But maybe dhl isn't going to pick it up before 17th only got the shipment details.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jonathan3579:
My order already shipped even though the OnePlus website hasn't updated to reflect that. It'll be here Friday. (Received a text from DHL.)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Jfxmedia:
How'd you find this out ? I ordered within 15 minutes in the Loop with VR, how did you order yours and when ? Lucky devil!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] demitrix:
Also got a text from DHL this morning. OP3 will be here Friday.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jonathan3579:
DHL is sending texts out about orders. I woke up this morning to it, lol. I probably ordered within the first 5-10 minutes with the VR as well.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Jfxmedia:
Gotcha, didn't notice that last bit about DHL. Interesting, well I will be on the lookout now. Thanks mate.

PS. I'm moving to houston in a month from NC. Save me a canoe.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] noobtoob:
I ordered mine in under 2 minutes from the launch time. Got to work this morning and received my DHL tracking information. It is such a nice surprise... Oneplus is doing ti right this time around. Great Price Tag, quality hardware inside. Google Nexus phones need to be around these oneplus prices, as that was their original intention when they developed their series... Inexpensive quality builds.

Edit: didn't know the picture quality was going to be this bad. Says will be here Friday June 17th. That's an entire week early.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Jfxmedia:
Nice ! Waiting for my text still. Did your one plus order info on the site state it would be shipped on the 16th ? Mine is still under pending shipment and says will ship tomorrow. [emoji24]
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] noobtoob:
On the site still says won't be available for shipping until tomorrow. But got that surprise text today stating it will be here on Friday instead. DHL already shows it left Shenzhen China and is en route to my house. ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] gee2012:
My DHL parcel is sent from Poland, it will be here friday. BTW i had standard shipment so thats a nice surprice, delivery date was set at the 24th at first ;)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Jfxmedia:
I thought there was a warehouse in the states shipping them out. That's fast shipping then. Good to know. Are you on the east coast per chance ? Wondering if they ship in segments according to location.. NC here.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] noobtoob:
No. In California. Mine might be coming so fast due to the ordering speed. Looks like a mad scramble on launch day. DHL shows the information was received, packed, and departed the facility on the 15th (today, but now almost yesterday their time).

However, hope my bubble doesn't burst as there is some fine print about them not taking any regulatory or customs actions into consideration. Best bet is to sign up for the notifications and cross some fingers this is all going to happen...
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Jfxmedia:
Oh I see. Yea you live in probably the fastest to receive area/state. I haven't received my DHL text yet. Probably looking at Tuesday at the soonest. Patience is a virtue which I do not possess. Let us know when received and how you like it !
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] taphius:
Mines the same (Nevada) I orders 15 seconds (placed on June 14, 2016 8:00:15 PM BST) after the store opened on oneplus.net. DHL states it is getting here friday
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SGBE:
Mine is scheduled to be delivered this Friday in California as well.

Scott-
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NaterTots:
Got the same message from dhl this morning.

I'd be really surprised if it shows up Friday. The tracking number shows it has left China.

Be nice if it shows up Friday.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ryanbmw51:
I ordered from Florida at time of launch. Right away when it launched. Selected free shipping. Estimated to ship on the 17th and arrive 24th. Got dhl text today. Says it'll arrive Friday by end of day.

Also thought I should mention I ordered it with the sandstone case. I assume it'll all come together?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] gee2012:
I placed the same order ha ha and yes i expect they send both items in one package.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
I still have TWO Galaxy S2's working!! My daughter was using one until I picked up a Moto G4 (not Plus, just the regular G) in the states last month. One is still stock everything, the other I unlocked and flashed OMNI Rom on. Say what you want about them old plastic Galaxy phones ... but they sure kept on running forever. The big problem was they only had a 2GB system partition, so you very very quickly run out of room to install today's larger apps. Then they stop syncing. But I'll keep 'em, because they aren't worth much, and in a pinch, they'll still work as a backup phone, with SIM adapters. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] li326:
i wonder if ups forgot that they have to deliver the phone to me today. it is 4pm already and my package is still in a different state.....
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Abhi740:
My phone has arrived and I am currently in the process of opening the package and setting it up. I will post my first impressions and pictures tonight.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Race2Speed:
So I logged a ticket with DHL, they called and advised there were transit delays in the region but my package (and probably yours) are on a plane right now headed from Hong Kong to their Los Angeles facility where it will be sent out immediately. They do not anticipate any further delays but they wouldn't give me an exact delivery date either.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
Nice! I checked my tracking, and they've pushed the delivery date back to ... Wednesday. So I have an extra day to just stare at my TGSP and case. :p Maybe my dbrand skin will ship while I'm waiting ... still processing since last Wednesday.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
oh cool, well mine landed in Ohio around 2 pm, I hope it comes soon! I'm guessing since I am in the east and yours is in the west that they went their separate ways
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nadebac:
Just got mine in the mail a few minutes ago. Purchased two on 9/5, original dispatch date of the 13th and a deliver on the 21st. Dispatch date changed to 9/9 with delivery 9/12. Impressed with DHL that they delivered from China in 3 days, over a weekend nonetheless. Now time to get them up and going!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
How long after ordering did people get your tracking number? I asked to be forwarded the info from XDA when they got it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] infamouzwt:
You have to chat with OnePlus website and ask them for your tracking number
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Abhi740:
Sorry for the grainy pictures.

Okay so I have been using the OnePlus 3 for 4 hours straight now after receiving it and setting it up and oh boy I am telling you there are some nice customization options in the software. The battery life is superb but only time will tell how superb it remains in the future. The camera in my opinion is on par with S6 but the colors don't pop as much as the S6 (I only captured pictures so far on the camera no videos yet). The on board audio is very good aswell. The screen is super bright as well, visibility outdoors is fine as well. I turned of all the default haptic feedback/sounds for whenever you used the hardware capacitive buttons, typed on the onscreen keyboard, and when the device wakes up, as leaving all of those on would waste a bit of battery each time I did the tasks mentioned previously. The only thing that is concerning for me as I am person who has OCD about keeping his/her phone clean and scratch free all the time, is that the back of OnePlus 3 is a very prone to scratches (I know this is an issue with all metal phones). Even with me being as careful as human can be while taking of the silver sticker (which contains the IMEI number of your phone) on the back I manged to somehow get a tiny microscopic scratch in the corner I started peeling of the sticker from. Maybe it is just my OCD that is making me make a big deal of the tiny microscopic scratch, but if this happens to you what I recommend you to do is to use a dry microfiber or an optical cloth (optical clothes are clothes which people use to clean their eye glasses) and gently rub the scratched area until the scratch disappears to your liking. To prevent further scratches buy a phone case for you OnePlus 3 immediately or before your phone arrives (I bought a case before my OP3 arrived). That is all for my first impressions that I have to talk about. If you have any specific questions about the phone you can ask me by replying to this post.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
I wish I still had my S3. I had the Pebble Blue & the limited edition piano black. I regret selling the piano black one because it was exclusive to Rogers & very limited. I still have my S5 & do agree is one of the best phones made by Samsung. I wish Samsung would go back to making removable batteries. Look how much Samsung is paying because of the Note 7 recall. LG is probably having a field day over this.

Still no updates. I'm getting annoyed with UPS. They are 3 hours behind, but there should've been something on my account by now.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

I'm glad everyone is getting updates as to where their phones are at and some of you received your phones. I still have no clue what's happening with my parcel. It's supposed to arrive on the 15th, but only a label has been generated. So, unless it's going to hop on one of the celebrity's private jet to Toronto for the Toronto Film Festival, I don't think I'll get mine by Thursday.

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Very nice! Sooooooo happy you got your phone today! How are you liking Oxygen OS compared to Touchwiz? How's the display of the OP3 compared to the S6? I hear good and bad things.

I don't want to ask too many questions in this thread because it's about shipping.

But I would like to say I love the mods on XDA for putting up with me. Makes me want to post here every day unlike the other sites. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Abhi740:
Thank you so much, I hope you get yours this week as well, but by reading your previous post, I get the feeling that you are losing hope with UPS, saying that they will ship this week. Anyways comparing Oxygen OS to TouchWiz is like comparing a super car to an average daily commute car. I am comparing Oxygen OS to the TouchWiz that is on the S6. Both the S6 and the OnePlus 3 have similar displays and similar color reproduction in my opinion but on the S6's screen, colors just pops out a tiny bit more, but it is not noticeable unless you really look for it. The reason I am comparing the OnePlus 3 to the S6 is because that is the only other smartphone that is fairly new compared to the OnePlus 3 in my home right now (btw my dad owns the S6 not me).
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] li326:
I got the same case but my phone is been delay by UPS:crying: Does the case fit the phone?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
My UPS updates stopped at 12:19 this afternoon with an arrival scan in Kentucky. No updates (or departure scan) since. I hate not seeing it move for 10 hours when it's just sitting in a warehouse. LOL If it was at least en route somewhere I wouldn't care so much. Hope it still makes it here on Wednesday though. If it drags out to Thursday, I'll be a bit mental by the time it arrives! Y'know, more mental than usual. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Abhi740:
Nice, it is actually a really good case for the OnePlus 3 since the phone it self is slippery, but by putting this case on the phone you get more grip because of the rubber like material used to make the case, plus it has a faux sandstone feel. As for if the case fits, oh it fits alright but its really tight to put on and take off because of the lip the case has, to sit on top of the screen securely. Just don't expect to be able to be put on and taken off really quickly it is a hassle (if you are trying to be careful with your phone that is). So sorry to hear that UPS is delaying your delivery. Keep us posted on when you get updates from UPS.

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

When my phone arrived at Kentucky it sat there for 3 hours before departing from there. If it did not sit there for 3 hours I would have had my phone on September 9th.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Well my phone finally left Ohio Sat there 16 hours....
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
I'm losing hope with OnePlus right now. There's still no updates on the UPS site. This could mean OP hasn't even dropped off my parcel to UPS but generated a label just to shut me up. I sent them an email last night but still no response. I've never had to go through this much hassle for a phone ever in my life and I have purchased A. LOT of phones.

The S6 screen is still one of the best out there. So I'm glad you can compare it with your dad's phone. How's watching YouTube videos on the OP3 compared to the S6? I'm more concerned about the screen resolution since I use Samsung as my daily driver.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Funkameleon5:
My phone is final seeing movement... Sort of. It is shipping with DHL and at a sorting facility in China but the last notification is "Uncontrollable Clearance Delay". Luckily it goes directly from facility in China to a facility in the Chicago suburbs (technically the airport I work at, too bad I can just pick it up there). They say that it should be delivered by the end of the day Thursday though. Too bad I'm flying out for a week Thursday morning and my phone is going to sit at my wife's restaurant where I'm having it delivered for a week while we are gone. I just pray that her coworkers don't loose the package, its been known to happen. They ate supposed to put it in the safe though.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Just got notice my DHL shipment will be delivered today :) impressive considering it was in Ohio this morning
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
Woo-hoo! Phones ordered yesterday, was told arrival on or before September 21, got DHL shipping info today! They should be here by Friday!

Edit: actually I thought Friday was the 15th, but it's Thursday is the 15th!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Race2Speed:
My OP3 was just delivered to my work. Now I just need to retrieve it. Can't wait to power it on and finally make it mine.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Atratus:
I have liked it so far, but I haven't rooted yet or anything. The only problem I have seen is it randomly going from 4GLTE to 4G, or H+
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
I'm glad everyone is getting their phones or have already received them and are enjoying it. I'm quite annoyed with One Plus and UPS. UPS doesn't know when or if they even picked up the parcel and told me to call One Plus when it was picked up. One Plus said they sent the paper work to UPS, but they haven't picked up the parcel yet. They told me to keep checking the site for updates.

Umm, I don't know how One Plus can run a business like this when they can't even keep track of their orders or track them down. I shouldn't have to call both companies to track my phone down. So as of now, nothing is happening. Unless something drastic happens from now until tomorrow, I doubt I'll get my phone on the 15th.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
That SUCKS!! Seems to me, the tradeoff this year in losing the invite system, which would have controlled inventory and processing speed, is that they don't yet have proper systems in place to handle the logistics of open ordering.

Mine hit Winnipeg this morning, so I'm on track to get it tomorrow. Sure hope yours isn't lost in limbo for long. If UPS hasn't picked up the phone from OnePlus yet, OnePlus should simply be re-issuing the paperwork and UPS should be picking up the waiting box. This doesn't seem all that complicated. In this case though, it sounds like UPS has dropped the ball, not OnePlus. A shipping company with individual package tracking should dang well know whether they picked up a parcel or not. Seriously.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
I'll tell you what, you are one of the nicest people on XDA and I truly hope you get relief very soon.

Good luck.

If anyone ordered recently a soft gold version and got it shipped sooner from what the dispatch date is, please let us know
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
Is it a standard thing for DHL to show a Clarence Event for the information on my shipment?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] n00b1269:
I ordered the soft gold yesterday.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] therussian87:
Mine was "dispatched" Sep09. UPS site shows label created Sep08 22:39. Nothing after that with same expected delivery date of Sep15. Imma chat with OP and UPS. Ill keep everyone posted.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
It truly does suck. One Plus should be investigating this with UPS since the parcel was supposed to be picked up by UPS on September 9th. I see if there updates tomorrow.

That's great yours arrived in Winnipeg! I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow. Keep us posted. :)

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Aww, Thank you so much for saying that. That made my day even better. :) You're very nice and everyone else whom I have chatted with have been very nice to me. Nice to be a part of XDA.

I hope you get your OP3's before the 21st. You must be excited! :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
Thank you! And yes, very excited! Only in the DHL tracking it says there's a "Clarence Event'....something about the paperwork not being correct. Last update was at 8:05 pm local time, and it's 7:53 am there now. So no movement in 12 hours so far.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
Sounds like we're in the same boat except my parcel was never picked up by UPS and either company will do anything about it.

Yes keep us posted
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SeanHacker:
I know when mine was shipped it was stuck in the "clearance event" for about two days or so.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stevessvt:
So I'm guessing delivery to Florida on the 15th is likely out of the question at this point.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
And it sat there all day, as I expected it would. LOL But it left a bit over a half hour ago, so unless the truck is involved in an accident, or someone manages an accident that shuts down the Trans-Canada Highway in the next few hours (both always possible through between the Manitoba border and here ... happens far too regularly), tomorrow is delivery day. So tonight ... I'll do laundry and cruise the forums. :) Tomorrow, the world is all ... rainbows.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lfkda:
Exactly the same here. "High five" email and label created on Sep 9th, no further updates since. ETA on the website was Sep13, but shows Sep 15 since this morning. I think this date will also be missed :(
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Wirelessgirl:
I always expect less from UPS. LOL. I'm sure the Tran's-Canada hwy will be clear and you'll get your phone today. :). Keep us posted.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Henaway:
Well, last night they marked an arrival scan in Winnipeg 15 minutes after the departure scan. So it either left, or came right back. LOL Guess I'll find out if/when it shows up! Nothing like building a little mystery into the day. ;)
