Right. Just a quic warning to anyone that ever thinks about ordering from John Lewis....avoid them like the plague. I placed a pre-order with them on 1st april. Noticed over the weekend that they were doing a free 128gb SD card for the same price and also with delivery on 20th. I contact them to try to arrange changing my original order to take advantage of this offer. If need be, I could just cancel the original order and place a new order, still getting it on 20th and getting a free 128gb Sandisk SD card with it (decent 80mb speed too, worth £68.99). Got a reply saying customer services would need to deal with that and would contact me by the 18th at the latest......got no call until just now, 9am on 19th. They said I am not eligible for it as the offer was only valid form 14th to 18th (and no indication of this was ever shown on the page) and basically refused to do anything about it. So through their own fault of firstly not indicating the validity of the offer, and secondly failing to contact me as promised yesterday, they have decided I am not eligible for it. Of course I would love to just cancel it and go elsewhere, but it's being delivered tomorrow and I will now have no chance of getting an order anywhere else that can be delivered tomorrow.

So much for John Lewis customer service. avoid like the plague. I most definitely will.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Same , I think ours will get dispatched today for delivery tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
So Sky have confirmed the 20th-21st for delivery.......[emoji12]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonesav:
Your EE order is due for delivery on Thursday 20th April just turned up when I kept checking dpd
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
I'm still not processed (samsung online store).... although to be fair i only ordered yesterday afternoon when my iphone died. It said in stock when i ordered so I'm assuming I'll get it tomorrow.... although that is a bit of a brave assumption so late in the pre-order cycle.... :)

Will update here if i get any movement or correspondence about any delays etc..... meanwhile I've had a case, wireless charger and a gear s3 frontier delivered..... got to go all in right? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
it said in stock? where?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stompy09:
When did you order through EE?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonesav:
Same here but I also ordered memory stick with USB and USB C

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

I ordered the day after the unbox event so 30th of March on the business section
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolf0x:
Anybody heard anything from Amazon UK? I am still stuck with, "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date", though I hope that will change come release day (20th) as the embargo lifts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
Got a link to check order status, at the bottom it has a section about items remaining to be shipped, which it says "in stock" against.

I'm not sure its categoric proof of stock, but hey it doesn't say "out of stock" :)

Will let you know if i get any updates to it

updated to include screenshot of what i mean...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Woods97:
U.K. Mail now stating my s8+ has been collected at 10:01 still no date but it's something I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
They told me the 24th yesterday!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stompy09:
Oh cool, I ordered the deluxe wireless bundle too, with the usbc cable, wireless charger, case voucher and micro SD card. Was worried that this might hold things up a bit
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdaman85:
Same for me now, changed from delayed to collected:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
For me it says "dispatch is currently processing" hopefully it gets collected later?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdaman85:
Regardless, we probably won't get it until tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
Yeah , On Friday/Saturday I think this thread will be pretty much dead ?Ahah.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beanbean50:
that sucks man, April the first you say?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
My Galaxy S8+ is still delayed, but it got collected earlier. The silicone cover i also said was shipped yesterday is still on Shipped Dispatch currently being processed, I'm guessing it'll come with my Galaxy S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Woods97:
How dare you get it collected before me ???
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Anyone have any news from CPW specifically for dispatch to store for collection?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Mine is 'dispatch being processed'. So as expected it would be delivered tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
I have no idea what's happening with my order from Three. There is no order page to check and I haven't received any information from them yet. Hopefully still on track for the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
all these emails with dpd tracking numbers sent yesterday by dpd... not gettin picked up till today.. mine just gor picked up from the sender.. so all deliveries are for tomorrow either del or store pick ups

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

u'll probably get an email in evening with dpd info...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
I emailed samsung this morning about the delayed shipment and they've just replied.

Dear Jack,

Thank you for contacting Samsung UK Online Store!

We can confirm that your order has left our warehouse today.

It should reach you tomorrow.

The delay message has been caused by a miscommunication in UK mail's system which listed the order as due for delivery today.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

We remain at your disposal.

Samsung Shop Support Team.

31st of March
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] madpete:
I called CPW this morning to check my order, they said everything was still on track for the 20th. However, I've dealt with these guys before so I'm not taking it as concrete. I've still only had the one email from them as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stompy09:
Just received my email from EE/DPD and also now showing in my DPD app for delivery for tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] morristonm31:
I haven't heard from cpw yet ordered on 29th while show was still on, original email stated 21st but website shows 20th!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] craigels:
Also haven't heard anything from Carphone warehouse. I only have the order confirmation email. I asked into yesterday and they said all should be set for Thursday 20th
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DatGuyLucas:
It'll be ok, no need to worry. I can see you being in panic mode and posting the same thing over and over again. Just chill, you will get your hands on S8 tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beanbean50:
same here and was quite surprised as I only pre-ordered it yesterday!

unfortunately DPD is one of the lousiest courier services I know (Yodel and myHermes being the others)

will no doubt see the van driving past tomorrow whist receiving a text message saying something like 'sorry we missed you, no one was at home, we left a calling card'
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Have any of you already been charged the amount for the device? At what point do they deduct the money from your account?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crankshaft:
Their website still show "guaranteed 20th April delivery"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kidd78:
Got email yesterday confirming dispatching and suppose to arrive today. After looking on the site, it too says delayed and contact sender.

After quick call Samsung confirms the courier still yet to collect the stock. Sounds like basically either Samsung or courier f**ked up the date. Think its created a knock on effect to other resellers.

Oh well 8 days earlier is now 7 days earlier now LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Thor:
8 days early is the 20th. It was defo the couriers making the mistake. Clearly Samsung/other retailers booked the collections early to make sure everything was shipped on time, but the courier jumped the gun and sent out notices for deliveries.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Just had an email from sky saying delivery will be tomorrow :) just goes to show you that you can't believe what some reps say!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kidd78:
Lucky my wife is around to take the parcel. Think about all the people taken day off or made arrangements.

Bloody ridiculous in this day and age that they can't check and recheck one of the biggest shipment for the two companies and not lastminute.com checks ?

And UK Mail site says contact the sender.... not contact us we explain! Passing the blame
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lembo:
I don't mind it coming tomorrow as I expected but UKMail sending out texts saying Wednesday delivery is a bit naughty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Alright for some they have been busy hush with me other than my contact to confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crankshaft:
Woohoo!

Just got the email from CPW saying it's being shipped :)

Delivery tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
​

Apart from ordering the phone this is the first I have heard regarding delivery of the phone ! Hopefully when you check your email you will soon get an update :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TEW999:
I've not had anything yet, just spoke to sky and they told me that they don't get the phones until tomorrow and then it will take them time to arrange the shipping with DPD so not to expect the device this week.

For interest on what date did you Pre-order?

I'm wondering if they have not received as many as they thought so customer service is managing everyone's expectations by saying not to expect it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
guys on my order tracking the s8+ is not showing under remaining to be shipped the only thing i have is the order placed etc and status
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Thanks dude I'll be keeping a close eye on it, but everything should be good (maybe that's just my optimism lol)....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So I had all the same issues that everyone else has had with UK Mail and Samsung. Now says they have collected the order on tracking.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
i noticed earlier in the thread you ordered 6 minutes before me, mine still looks the same as in the image i posted earlier. ie. showing as remaining to be shipped and "in stock"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
its wierd i dont have the picture of the phone or anything like that heres an attachment
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
presumably as yours is "in progress" and not "not processed" you are about to get shipped.... :)

i guess its not showing in the "remaining" section as they are dealing with your order....

i think you will be in luck.... hopefully (in 6 minutes lol) i will get the same :)

edit: actually its slightly longer than 6 minutes.... gah... :( lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
but ive never had it even from when i could first track the order
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
strange, give them a ring if your worried.... let us know what they say
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
never had it even when not processed really strange what the heck r they processing then lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rowbaggie22:
People who ordered from sky like me this is what I was told
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
it could be that im clicking on the link on the email i received from samsung and not actually logging in how are you guys seeing your order, by logging in or clicking on the "check the status" on the email confirmation of the order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
I'm just clicking the link in the email they gave, no logging in, i forgot to login before ordering...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:
For privacy reasons the published information is limited to just the status of the order.

this is what i get on top of the order tracking page
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Shotzz96:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crankshaft:
Some dumb arse has decided to swap my SIM over the day before the new one arrives! Not sure who to blame, CPW or Voda!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] madpete:
Just received my despatch email for my S8+, ordered 29th March via CPW. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mattcall:
I've ordered from very.co.uk but they only deliver on the 28th anyone else ordered from there it did say 20th on day 1 but quickly changed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TEW999:
Same as me then....... Oh well, we can but wait.

I'm sure I'll get an email soon.

Enjoy your new s8 :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
They told me the 24th then i got an email today saying its out for delivery tomorrow, makes you wonder what they get told in the call center
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
When did they deduct money from the bank account?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rowbaggie22:
I haven't heard nothing yet makes you wonder tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ste1164:
Still not processed I think I may cancel and also it will let me see what this pink screen issue turns out to be like.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] craigels:
Got an email from Carphone warehouse to say someone will ring me tomorrow from my chosen store to arrange collection. Counting down the hours now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
2 weeks ago almost, dpd are delivering it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tallman43:
How did you track your order? Samsung website says order has shipped but when I press the track this order button nothing happens..:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
When mine says shipped but also says dispatch in process.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
if you ordered via the samsung website I just discovered that its fulfilled by expansys. - I'm sure you knew that already, but i hadn't seen it mentioned in case it helps anyone. http://www.expansys.com/order-tracking/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stewartie4:
Ordered from samsung on the 9th. Still listed as Not Processed and the expansys link above says they are awaiting stock. Fuming.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Guitarfreak26:
Mines showing dispatched in progress too then says shipped. No tracking though :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Be Patient It'll go live later on when UK Mail picks it up
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
I wonder roughly what time they pick it up at , my order is the same ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Has anyone who's Galaxy S8 got dispatched yesterday, Had there tracking page changed from Delayed too tomorrow's date ? as mines still stuck on Delayed.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

My S8+ Silicone Cover got dispatched earlier on, the tracking page has just gone live and i should get it tomorrow with UK Mail the same people who are sending my S8+ Phone (more than likely tomorrow too), Yesterday i didn't get any order shipped emails, i've just received them tonight and hopefully will get some uk mail emails and texts later on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
Mine says awaiting stock too now... clicking on the link in the order confirmation email says it's in stock..... wtf lol

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

It's now ready to ship lol wtf is up with the statuses
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jj03:
i rang cpw sales earlier...they said as soon ita picked i will get a message/email. still quite worried..lol. booked day off work just before my rota'd days off so i can give it a good goin over...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Many are waiting for their devices to be picked up. God knows when will the UKMail or any courier service will pick up the devices and we get a tracking no. Atleast that will be a big relief. Even i have taken work from home tomorrow in anticipation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jj03:
good luck. my plan is...receive the phone in the a.m. set up phone...remove mouth off floor due to being dazzled by the screen. transfer my **** via smart switch. format my s7edge. get wifes s7 edge...transfer her **** to my formatted s7edge...format her s7 edge...take to town. sell handset...mooch about and purchase a glass screen front and 128gig card. return home...fiddle with phone..do benchmarks, turn off bixby, aod, blah blah...ignore friends etc...**** off. i'm geeking out. repeat for 3 days...?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
I didn't buy through Samsung, i bought one from Sky and another from CPW sim free.

And as a bonus my samsung clear view case arrived today and it looks very nice :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnymiller1000:
I reckon different couriers have different time slots for pick up, expansys normally use parcel force to deliver to me, I wonder if that's what happens in this case and a bunch of us will get a later despatch email with a different carrier
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Haha. Seems a good plan but very obvious [emoji6] i will sell my pixel in coming days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jj03:
thought about the pixel briefly...but my eyes were drawn to the edge 7...it's stunning in white. anyhow, i will remain calm if it doesn't show up...and take it put on some poor sod in killing floor 2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adypem:
I've had another dispatched e-mail and UK Mail now shows tomorrow for delivery (was originally today)....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jj03:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Congrats man. Now its my turn to start getting mad. [emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jj03:
? keep checking. seems quite alot of people are either getting an email or text...sending good karma your way...?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesGui:
I checked tracking and noticed notes had been added , it reads "19/04/2017 Sent email- Samsung UK Order Acknowledgement" and when I checked my email I noticed a order acknowledgement email there?. Strange ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Thanks a lot. [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Those with store delivery via CPW will get a text from the store tomorrow according to CPW CS... hmmmm...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Is everyone's uk mail tracking page like this saying "At sortation facility" who got there S8's dispatched yesterday as i'm worried a little ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] drraptor:
will it available in store starting 21 April ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonesav:
Seems my EE one is on the move on its way to smethwick ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Just means its sat in a warehouse till the courier loads it on to the van for delivery tomorrow ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
So I have now fact checked and have more or less confirmation that those who ordered 9th April and beyond will be prioritized above those who placed early (for example like me on the 30th march)

This is sky mobiles ordering system.....Just thought I'd let you know that this is how they are working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
The conversation I'm having just to confirm how sky mobile system is operated.
