[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonesav:
one more stop and mines here lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Strangeland16:
thanks for replying
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tallman43:
I did mine through the upgrade ,no you don't get the return packaging they send that separately. I had a text and email from them saying they would be dispatching it today and to return the old phone within 7 Days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Came?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Super Chimp:
Cancelled my order with CPW for various reasons & re-ordered with Amazon. Unfortunately they don't appear to have any kind of delivery date.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonesav:
Yep mine from EE has arrived restoring data now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
managed to reach Samsung

called them and asked about the status, they said if i havent received an email yesterday regarding shipping then we wont get it today, they said they have managed to ship out most of the preorders yesterday and the remaining are done today and we should get an email today by 7pm for delivery tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Strangeland16:
have you actualy received your phone. as I've just spoke to Samsung and they say it definitely should have been in box and they now don't know what I have to do to get another one ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
So those who got the email today will get it tomorrow?:crying:

Thats not fair...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Thank you for letting me know. Very disappointed. I ordered on 29th March. Just after the announcement. I see people getting emails today, I still haven't had anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
no worries

bloody right its not fair those damn scumbags. i said i was told i will get it 8 days early and he said "upto 8 days early" and "keep an eye on your inbox" well there is a chance we maynot get the email tonight as well, if those asswipes are to be believed. but hopefully we will all get it later today
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PotatoPatato5050:
Great to hear it's arrived - any red tint screen issues ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I got the mail around noon today. but the UKMail tracking is still not showing the status.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Woods97:
be happy you're all getting somewhere... while mine is stuck in ....... gloucester
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Just got my dispatched email from Samsung. Should be here tomorrow. I'm still not happy though. It should have been here today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jeux_1:
Order directly from Samsung UK on the 31st, mentioned shipped on Tuesday evening, now it updated to Awaiting Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Yeah same, got an email from Samsung also saying my expected delivery date is tomorrow.

?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
mine went to awaiting stock

BS it went from ALl items shipped to AWAITING STOCK. screw this Samsung bull ****
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
On expansys it still says all shipped for me so I don't know who to believe ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jeux_1:
Yep, same here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stewartie4:
Mine was just updated from dispatched to awaiting stock. Getting no reply from samsung through email nor twitter, still haven't received a tracking number, nor an email from samsung

I've booked a day off work to wait in. Flipping disgrace.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shaady:
Not seen many people mention it but thought there might be some people watching the thread to see if anyone does but just got a call from my local three store and mine is ready to collect today, ordered Monday afternoon.

Thought they might have messed up as their delivery was meant to be this morning and I didn't hear anything but seems its worked out. Going to turn it on in the store before I leave though and see if there is any issues with the display
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] therockett:
Also gone from shipped to awaiting stock, first and last time I use Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
i emailed samsung customer service yesterday when it was saying "awaiting stock" and then showing me "in stock" on the order link as i had no idea whether that meant i would or wouldnt get a device early. They replied to yesterdays message a few minutes ago telling me it is "in the process of shipping" and will arrive between 21st and 24th. i don't mind not getting it on the exact day as i haven't paid any extra for that, however to be told pre-order to get it on the 20th and then only find out half way through the 20th that "shipped" doesnt mean "shipped" in their world and that it won't be coming is very poor. I'm lucky that i can work from home some days so i haven't taken a day off specifically for this like some will have, but god knows what the logistics will be for me to actually get it now as I'm on holiday from tomorrow and ukmail are dreadful in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
got an email

got email from Samsung regarding the order, takes me back to the same tracking page but the date seems tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
got a reply for mine as well

see attachment
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
This is bad from samsung. They should know that there will be huge demand and should have prepared deliveries accordingly. Even i am not sure when i will get mine [emoji30]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] craigels:
Collected from Carphone warehouse store in Ireland 3 people had pre ordered to my store and only 1 s8 plus came in according to the assistant
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
not to patronize

not to patronize Samsung, but their systems could be messed up due to volume and they said they didnt expect this response to the S8 after the Note 7 fiasco, but they should have managed, shows how prepared these big companies are
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Anyone else's tracking down?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
here too

maybe all
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
System crash , changing things , who knows?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
well i just got the email saying to expect it tomorrow (21st) and a a broken link to track the thing. don't even know who the carrier is yet, I'm expecting ukmail. the expansys page has been updated to say they've emailed me, other than that it says status is shipped, dispatch currently being processed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stewartie4:
I'm in the same boat now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
now the tracking page is different

now there is only one row and it says all items shipped nothing else, before the phone was shown below
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
The order number has changed dramatically as well ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Mine changed to All items shipped and I also got the mail from samsung that items have been shipped with a UKMail tracking link.

But seems it is a 2 step process - 1>Samsung ships all the items 2>UKMail decides they want to deliver it today or tomorrow.

In my case, I think Samsung had actually sent it out to UKMail but they havent even updated their tracking page with my consignment number as it shows no results based on my consignment number.

If Samsung doesnt gets you UKMail will :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
yeah ive got the same all items shipped thing with the crazy order number. no sign of any shipping info yet though..... its all pretty academic for me now, if it doesnt arrive by 9am i won't be here..... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Bad luck mate..Still hope we get it this evening (hoping for a miracle).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
would be good.... got cctv at home so i will be able to watch 1080p footage of ukmail carding my house at probably 09:10 just after i've left the house lol i'll keep an eye on the thread over the next day or so see how things go for others... fingers crossed for everyone camping out behind their front window tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] running water:
I have mine! [emoji16] it's charging as we speak. Going to have some tea put the kids to bed then it's me and the s8+ time!

Running
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Again got a mail from Samsung and they confirmed that delivery will be tomorrow. Not sure what is happening as it is written that my order is being processed and I will get it by 21/4/17. But they had already shipped it as per the status and I also have UKMail tracking link (though it is not showing the consignment number).

This is getting so frustrating. Well seems it will be delivered tomorrow, so no point in expecting it today now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
glad to hear someone with some good news instead of us non-receivers droning on lol - enjoy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RandyKaoss:
UK Mail tried to deliver mine today but I'm away from home all week. Will be Tuesday before I can pick it up :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Thor:
Can anyone who received the sim free version of the Galaxy S8 Plus post the Region code/CSC information.

Model SM-G955F

PDA Version G955F***

CSC Version G955F***

PHONE Version G955F****

Region: ***

Like that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tallman43:
Yes I've got the phone there was return packaging in it but that was for if the S8+ was faulty..... Copy of email they sent me:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Had to laugh spoke to samsung this afternoon who told me it has shipped and i will get it tomorrow, i explained that was what i was told yesterday, and i swear his reply was precious, he stated " it was meant to go but the courier did not turn up to collect the parcels". 5 out of 5 from me for creativity.

Yeah its a bummer its not here but i look at it like xmas, the build up is more fun than the day and its not like its a kidney im waiting for. However I got messed around with the note 7 fiasco, and if they cant even get shipping right by now then they may as well give up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I just got a mail from UKmail that it will be delivered tomorrow. Maybe you can try changing the delivery to collection. That way you can collect it from 8 AM tomorrow if you have the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
good thought, thanks for the idea..... i'll see what happens, i haven't had anything since the broken link tracking email yet, no uk mail notification or anything.... i'll keep you posted..... i hope you have a more satisfying exeperience tomorrow, this has been so frustrating today with all the misinformation and unclear process!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Good luck.Hope you get the mail & the device soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Bored?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] apprentice:
Never thought I would say this, but DPD actually did everything perfect today! Their app was accurate with the delivery times and ... well they delivered it to my door instead of dumping it somewhere!

Happy days.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
this is sum BS
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:

Still sitting as "shipped" with no tracking details for me. If it doesn't come tomorrow it'll be Monday and I will not be happy at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Shipping details just came by email at last!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
could it come saturday?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Super Chimp:
If I ordered from Samsung now would I be charged now or on the 28th?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
When they dispatch ur order. So after 28th april.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
I got charged as soon as I pressed order, that was a PayPal payment though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
me too

just got the email, but UKmail cant track it yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
It should be updated in a few hrs. UKMail takes time to update
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Mine hasn't moved yet hopefully get my tracking soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
Nor me, still processing dispatch
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
When did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
Tuesday afternoon, so fairly late to the party really
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Well I hope get some movement soon man I ordered on the 29th so if I don't get it tomorrow I will be pretty disappointed ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
Seems there is nothing chronological about this at all, pretty unfair on those who ordered first. I was half expecting to be told I wouldn't get it for a while as I was so late to the game. Fingers crossed it all comes good for you for tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I didnt order until Monday Evening and that does not count as it was a bank hol lol, anyways hopefully you will get your email shortly
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Cheers , You too man
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
I ordered before Johnny [emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Yeah does seem odd that those who ordered first seem not to be top of the tree so to speak. Do not quite know how they have worked all this out
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
What's going on with yours? You said yesterday your order was blank? What did they say?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Its just odd, but then again this is Samsung, they make great hardware but sure as hell cant do customer service, Least we apparently get a free carrier bag looking at those who have got theirs, i always wanted another carrier bag, probably spend more time working that out than the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
i sent them a email around 5 am today and called them was waiting for a hour and still no advisors free☹️

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
Can anyone help on the Expansys order tracking is awaiting stock- does that mean they have no stock remaining and are waiting for a shipment or are they waiting for my phone to be handed over from stock room? was looking forward for it today also bought a Moto 360 smartwatch today was looking forward to two new devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller100001:
Mine was on awaiting stock for about 20 minutes, and then went to "ready to ship". Not sure that helps you. I think the statuses on expansys leave a lot to be desired, shipped is not despatched etc etc, confusing as hell!

I got a gear s3 frontier watch yesterday, looks ok, but does next to nothing paired with my old iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
LOL, exactly IPhone and the moto 360 are a no go for me as well!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I changed the delivery to collection.. Since the ukmail collection operates from 8am i am hoping to go early and collect it.

Are you in Northern Ireland by any chance?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
Finally some good news mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Yes. I cant take tomorrow off from work. So will go to collect early. Hope they give me my s8+ easily. What are your plans?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
I'm working from home. though I'm a bit impatient to get it into my hands I'll be a little patient for a few hours since it's the weekend anyways. I've got my cases and screen protectors sorted. Have you got any?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Yes. NI.

Hate UKmail because it's nightline who you can't track and they show up after 4pm for my area. At least we get it before 1 tomorrow :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Nope. Not yet. Most probably will try to get atleast a case tomorrow while going to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
I know I was dreading it abit , but at least my mind is at rest ahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
Nice one. Any choices for cases. I got a otterbox strata. Ivso and a maryann
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I prefer my cases to be transparent [emoji12]. Not stuck on any particular company though. Transparent cases let some of the glory still visible while providing same protection.

As for cases I got a spigen air skin. 0.3mm thick. Got one on my iPhone. Barely notice it's there. I just need scratch protection not bothered about bulky bumpers etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] allmine1976:
Pretty much the same story for me except I went to the store at 7.30pm and it wasn't there then an hour later I get the text saying that they noticed I hadn't collected it.

Pre ordered mine from carphone warehouse and you get a speaker free with the phone,, got my phone yesterday and it tells you have to prove you had the pre order and you now have to arrange to get your speaker delivered to you, must of been in the small print because I didn't see anything mentioned like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Woods97:
Come on...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Is your Royal Mail tracking showing , "come back later" ? Abit worried , hope it just hasn't been scanned or something.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nihal1983:
How did you get the detailed tracking. Mine just shows expected between X and y
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Yeah my tracking isn't working. I'm seriously hoping it just wasn't scanned in the system but it'll still come today. I didn't get tracking details until 8:50pm last night so worried I might have missed the collection :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Woods97:
Should just show up on your consignment page?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
I think it should still come today , I might be wrong but apparently reading around I heard that the tracking on that service isn't the best , so who knows , finger crossed

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Because if the van picked it up last night and started it's journey to the mail centre in East Midlands I think , it would of arrived by now and would would of had some kind of tracking event , therefore this makes me think that's there's some kind of missed scan or something , we can just wait and see ?
