True. I just got an email to review my purchase! Yeah, too bad it won't be shipping for yet another week. I guess the service providers get them first. I'm in the US and so many here swear buy Clove.

So far I am not impressed that they marked the S8 as Pre-order on their web site and their web site says they won't charge pre-orders till shipped, but charged my card immediately and explained they don't consider it a pre-order?!?!?!

:p

All I can say is I hope the "F" model has an unlocked boot loader or I am not going to be happy at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Velrix:
Ya I won't rely on Clove for "preorders" anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Well this is one for the books. Just got an order acknowledgement email from Samsung... and I'll get another email when it's been dispatched. I'm about to lose it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
I am so happy to have been proven wrong! Just checked and my order is now tracking :D Will be delivered to my work address on Monday between 9am and 1pm :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Same here! It's finally on it's way. What a rollercoaster this has been.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ripkord:
Bizarre day yesterday, no tracking updates from vodafone since I pre-ordered..... not a peep.

Thought I'd chance my arm and went down to the store I was getting it delivered to - guy takes my details, does the card check, goes to get the phone comes back 5 mins later oh we dont have any - teasing bugger - they should be in the next couple of days he says :/

5pm comes, get an email from vodafone, your phone's ready to collect in the store. Aye very good at 5pm.... OH BUT ITS THURSDAY LATE NIGHT SHOPPING - skipping down to the shops to pick it up lol. I went from absolute despair to absolute joy in about 5 seconds.

Then back to despair again when I realised I had a pink screen, then back to joy again when I realised it can be fixed (mostly) in the settings - then the ten minutes of nervousness checking the display for stuck pixels - clear!

Phew.....

Meanwhile - vodafone tracking still says order recieved........

Never ordered direct from Samsung but there packaging and presentation skills are far superior to other company's. Got a free bag it come packed in a huge Samsung box with a pull tab. Wrapped up in a bubble cocoon. Did everyone's direct from Samsung arrived this way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Hi all, after my "vehicle broke down" crap yesterday, the phone turned up about 12:30 :) tis very nice indeed!

Hi mate, yes, I was impressed too :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
So got tracking last night, said it would be delivered at work on Monday between 9am and 1pm, which is perfect. Checked tracking this morning and they attempted delivery today at 7am, gates locked. Earliest I can get it redelivered is Tuesday So I thought happy days, drive up and collect it so I can play with it today. Just back from doing about 50 mile trip. Got up, found the sorting office, oh it wont be back here until at least 12! So I have to go back up later this afternoon to collect! Another 50 mile trip :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foo25:
Hey Stephen, nice to see a fellow member from NI on here! Did you pre-order via the Update Program or just purchase it outright? Just made the decision to pre-order mine and never received the option to change my delivery address. Would've much rather had it delivered to work...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Did you get it today Stephen? Royal Mail delivered mine before 1pm. I was quite surprised and very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
They should give you gear vr for sheer tenacity where other mere mortals would have given up agreed ago. I can't believe the crap your delivery has been through!

If you get a red screen after all this, I'll kill someone!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Spoke to the depot. They put a fake delivery attempt on the update, the guy said it was fake, because they attempted to deliver around 7am. He said they earliest they start delivering is 9am. He said the reason this is done is because they decided it was going to a work address and would be closed. So It is still scheduled for delivery for 9am - 1pm on Monday. If it arrives I will be happy enough with that. Just annoyed I had a wasted 50 odd mile trip today.

Yes agreed. Will just be happy to get the device in the end though. Went through similar issues when I ordered the HTC 10. Only ever pre-order that actually arrived when it said it would was the 3t. It was sent perfectly. Every other pre-order I have tried has had problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
Again being far to hopeful of a concise answer from someone who should actually know what they are doing, I asked o2 ......... if i pre-ordered the phone, would it actually arrive (be delivered) on the 28th or is it better to go direct to a shop so I can have right away.

Not a hard question, but all i got back was, "it is released on the 28th".

So in my head i'm now like, so my o2 employed customer rep, does this mean if i pre-order I will receive on the 28th or not?

Why can't these companies actually just answer a question clearly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
It arrived this morning! Very happy screen is amazing, no colour issues at all.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Stock Update

Dear Customer

Thank you for your order.

Please note, Samsung Galaxy S8 stock has been delayed until middle of next week.

We apologise for the slight delay in the process.

As soon as stock arrives next week we will dispatch your order.

Yours sincerely

The Unlocked Mobiles Team

It's the S8+ the Exynos version in the UK?

I'm looking to root on day one ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
So after finally making my mind up I ordered today.

I nearly went with the plus but feel made right choice and got the Samsung Galaxy S8 64GB Orchid Grey version, as black now seemed everyone had and hopefully more likely of it being delivered on time to me on Friday.

Was happy also that i didn't have to pay anything upfront too.

Now I just need an early delivery on Friday.

Purchased my case too, a lovely Galaxy S8 Case Neo Hybrid in Arctic Blue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billabong7721:
Mine was ordered on the 23rd and it says shipped so hopefully it'll be here tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] comicbookguy72:
ordered 4th April, collect in store at PC World... heard nothing other than that in-store deliveries would arrive on the 21st. got a text on 20th saying "hope you enjoy your new phone" so popped in and collected....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
Got mine today wooooooo 9.30

Just trying to set up now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] orbital247:
Anyone here getting this from Three UK ? Any ideas on potential shipping today for delivery tomorrow or do we think it will be shipped tomorrow for Thursday 20th. I'm new to Three so don't know what their form is like, can't track my order also as i can't create an account until i have my phone and number !

The website says 'estimated' delivery of 20th but strangely doesn't use the term estimated for the store collection date of the 20th (which makes me think that the stores might well get there delivery tomorrow or even today to hit that more definitive date).

I'm not impatient just bored waiting :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lynxblaine:
I would say it seems like UK retailers are on a short leash and are sticking to the proper date. CPW only get the stock instore on the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] running water:
They must have some before then? What about the orders that. Red shipping?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
I'm going to wait until next week, most of the pre order deals are waste of time and maybe i can negotiate an upgrade deal as i'm due one now.

I don't really wanna be paying £60 a month.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Babychan:
Got told by someone who works for o2 the s8 might be delayed for o2 customers s8+ is fine though
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] running water:
Vodafones track website is down. Hopefully this means they are updating everything to packing the phones ready for shipping. I'm not impatient or anything. [emoji10]
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lynxblaine:
Yup I imagine they have the stock already.

CPW 'guarantee' pre-orders 8 days early whilst others like O2 say upto.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] s8:)098:
samsung shop

Anyone had a order status change from Samsung yet? Surely Samsung themselves will get the order shipped on time!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Just checked nothing wrong with site but still order placed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I just spoke to EE and my order is waiting to be picked up by courier for delivery on the 20th, might arrive tomorrow. Usually when phone is ready for picking it's delivered the next day, will know later this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
I will call them myself after work to see what they say to me, I will let you know in about an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Ordered 64gb orchid grey s8 from Samsung UK. Ordered at 8am on first day of pre-order. Really hoping mine gets shipped tomorrow. Checking my order status it still simply says not processed. I also put they payment on my current account, so there would be no issues with credit card, haven't seen any balance differences yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
I called EE as soon as the launch was finished to order, got the confirmation email at 5:32pm UK time on the 29th March.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] s8:)098:
Same here. I emailed Samsung UK last week and got this reply. Im hoping this isn't the case otherwise it wouldn't be much earlier than general release

"You have successfully placed your pre-order on our system.

All pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S8, placed before the 19th of April, are expected to be processed on the 20th of April and received between the 21st to 22nd of April."
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strangeland16:
Just checked my Samsung order and although it still shows as unprocessed it's now showing as in stock rather than pre order. So fingers crossed it will be sent tomorow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jessiberry16:
Hi...

I'm a newbie.

I pre-ordered my Samsung galaxy s8 in midnight black through Vodafone on 29/3/2017

I have received nothing from Vodafone since 30/3/2017.

I only pre-ordered it due to potentially getting it early.

I have contacted them today to see how the order is progressing and have been told that they have had a large volume of orders and therefore there will be a delay in receiving the phone and could potentially get it on the 28th... I expressed that no update on the order has been sent via email or text

Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm hoping this is not the case as I'm really looking forward to receiving the phone early.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Babychan:
I rang them and they said me they will process it tomorrow and if we get a email before 1900 tomorrow we should get the phone on 20th delivered by ukmail
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stompy09:
I hope this isn't the case with EE, I have even taken the day off work on Thursday to receive the device. I guess I only have to wait until tomorrow to see if I get any update texts from DPD. Think they usually start appearing about 9pm the day before the handset is due to be delivered if I remember
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Just checked mine as well. It is also showing in stock, now instead of pre-order. Good news!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stompy09:
People on the other thread in the other group -https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/uk-s8-s8-pre-t3584685/page16 are now getting their status changed to shipped when ordered direct from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] s8:)098:
Great! Really helpful thank you. Mine has changed to ordered on request whatever that means.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Ok just spoke to vodafone live chat told them I pre ordered the s8 on 31st March and asked them about delivery so she checked my account and said this.

have checked the account and can see that the order has been received in ware house and when the courier team will pick up the order so you will get email confirmation with the parcel number .

So i said so this will be delivered for the 20th and her reply was if I was told the 20th which I was told then I will get it on the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:

I ordered at 6:01 am on the 29th from Samsung. I was notified earlier that it's being delivered tomorrow (19th) by UK Mail.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] http://:
From Samsung's website.

Great news! But good luck with UK mail! If DPD aren't delivering, I don't order from that company. DPD are as dependable as death and Taxes. They will come.

I'm assuming you mean 6:01pm as the Unpacked Event was only 4pm on the 29th!

Anyway can see my order now says shipped, nothing from UK Mail yet though...

No need, use this app Deliveries Package Tracker. Works great for most delivery services.

I've just checked my Vodafone app....

My new contract terms have started I.e I've got more data etc.

Taking that as a good sign at least that's changed.

I'm sat refreshing the tracking page now...fingers crossed.

Good luck all who have had updates :)

i think the ones that shipped yesterday have not been picked up, they will go out tonight with the ones that are processed today. so yes it looks like tomorrow is the day.

My S8+ from Samsung Uk, ordered 29th March direct was due for delivery today (19th) got notification from UK Mail yesterday. Just changed to Delayed. So looks like being held off until tomorrow 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ewokuk:
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] ripsurf:
I too ordered the phone from Samsung on 29th just after the conference ended, I then got a text to say it be delivered today.

However when looking at the UK Mail site it says it has been delayed and I should contact the supplier.

I am now hoping I get it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CJLewis87:
Same here. I'm expecting the UKMail confirmation email this evening for delivery tomorrow so I'm happy enough with that

Gonna see if i can pick it up from a depot, otherwise tomorrow!

I phoned them and done chat live and both said same thing for me it's in warehouse wating for pickup so could be tomorrow for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nintendolinky:
does your tracking number work on dpd
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumraden:
No it does not. Apparently they gave me the wrong number. I'm going to try and get the correct one this time around.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nintendolinky:
i was also given a 430 number and it doesn't work, I've been told it can take a few hours though

I'm not a happy bunny...

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumraden:
Normally DPD uses 8 or 14 digit tracking numbers. Not sure if it's an internal number they use from their end.
[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] CJLewis87:
Order page from Samsung has now updated with UKMail tracking details (although the consignment number not working yet) so looking good for tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nintendolinky:
let me know what they say
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumraden:
Nothing, nada, zip. Still sticking on the 10 digit consignment number and not giving any additional info about the device. And as far as Vodafone is concerned I cannot pick up the device from the Depot.

Edit: Apparently the Vodafone rep told me it will take 24 hours for the consignment number to work on the website. Redundancy at its best.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nintendolinky:
In my past experience, the 430 number we have will work later this evening on the DPD site.

We will also get an email once DPD have picked up the phones.

Once we have the email etc, we can do what we want with the delivery such as pickup from depot, change day and time etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] running water:
I can't get on the tracking site at the moment. My new tariff has started but no communication from voda about my phone. I hope is is delivered tomorrow.
