I preordered my S5 on March 23rd, with an expected ship date of the 8 or 9th. I then added a friend to my new mobile share plan and he decided he wanted the s5 also. So I ordered his on the 31st of March.
His showed up yesterday, 4/09, and mine is scheduled to arrive today, 4/10.
One would think preordering would be a first come first serve basis. But nope, not with AT&T. One shipped from Tennessee, one shipped from Texas. Texas, being geographically closer to me in California, is the shipment that is arriving a day later.
Now, this isn't a big deal to me, but I am a bit annoyed that I wouldn't get it sooner, based on my immediate preorder. And ultimately I will probably leave it in the box until you crafty people find a way to hack it. If not, I'll probably stick with my TWRP enabled S4 which works great still. (had to replace the LCD, which is the entire reason I preordered the S5.)
Just curious when you preordered, and when you received, let me know.

I live in Dallas and ordered mine on 3/29. It was marked to ship on 4/8, due 4/10 by 4:30 CST. It shipped from Ft. Worth to Dallas, back to Ft. Worth, then to Addison (a Dallas suburb) before heading to me. It's maddening but I'll have it within a couple of hours.
Ordered black via premier 3/21 @10:15pm, Fedex shows delivery at 12:21pm today, 4/10
FYI -- lots of people were posting here that they got an alert their phone had shipped. I didn't get my alert til late last night and my order status had been "Preparing to Ship" for quite a while. However, FedEx tacking info said it actually went out on 4/8 despite the lag in notifications to me.

I preordered on the 3/28 and I got mine 4/10!
3/21 pre-ordered
4/10 currently wandering around downtown in a big brown truck.
Pre-ordered 3/21
Just left work early to snag it. The excitement was too much.
It shipped from Texas, I am in Pennsylvania.
Ordered on 3/23 and got it 4/9.
Ordered S5 on 4/3 and got it on 4/9. Orderd Gear 2 Neo on 4/4 and got it on 4/8. Cruel joke by AT&T to send the watch before the phone. lol
Ordered mine on Monday got it today FedEx.
Ordered 2 on Sunday (7th) , one black and one white. Got the black one via FedEx on Wednesday (9th), got the white one today (10th).
Ordered on March 25th, got it today via USPS Priority 2 day.
I have pre ordered on April 02 and I have got the shipped on 7th and delivered on 9th.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using xda app-developers app
pre ordered: 3/30
received: 4/9
Ordered on 4/4 and got it this morning via USPS.
Order was placed: 2:05 AM CDT March 29, 2014

Ordered both a charcoal grey and a shimmery white one on 3/28. They were both delivered on 4/9.
What's weird is that the grey one shipped from Fort Worth and the white one from Memphis. I received shipping notifications for both on Monday 4/7 and the white one just hung out in Memphis till 4/8 while it waited for the grey one to arrive in Memphis as well. Then they both arrived on my front porch the next day at noon.
My old phone told me they were delivered so I did a surgical strike running home from work at lunch to scoop them up and get them to a secure location.
Beautiful phones, both of them.
For whatever reason, I couldn't preorder on AT&T's site (Premier). It said my plan was not compatible with that phone. Must've been a bug on the site, for kicks I tried adding serveral different phones (including basic phones) to my shopping cart and received the same message.
So I ended up preordering it at Best Buy, and I'm going to pick it up today. It comes with a $10 gift card, so I guess I can't complain too much about not getting the phone a few days early.
Curious how other pre-orders from Best Buy are doing. I ordered a black 32 gig S6 Edge on April 1st, with an estimated shipping date of April 17th. Got an email this morning saying the new shipping date is April 22nd. The wireless charger shipped out today.
Screw Best Buy! I originally had mine pre-ordered till I found out that they're charging $150 more if you wish to just buy out the phone. Got a refund on my pre-order, and took my money to Verizon, and picked up my phone this morning.
Preordered mine on the 1st and walked in today 30 mins after the store opened and picked it up.

Yup. Especially after that 100~200 dollar phone trade-in thing, it's hard to justify a purchase elsewhere. Also, I have no idea how phone activation is handled at a Best Buy, haha.
Ordered mine on 4/3 from bestbuy, 64gb black verizon. Picked it up today, bought it off contract and price matched it to Verizon at $799 and still got the free charging pad!
I got a 64gb black at 3pm from my local best buy with no preorder. They still had a few left in fact (both black and white), and a ton of 32gb ones.
In which best buy store ? Which location ?
The Rim in San Antonio.
Pre-ordered back on the first day they were even taking them, I think the 27th, and picked mine up today with the free wireless charger. I got the 64GB Black Edge on Verizon. No scratches or problems that I know of.
Kind of bummed though, because I just came across this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/moto-360-best-buy-preorder-t3078614 and had no idea they were doing that. Hoping I can go back in tomorrow and see if I can get the moto 360 for that price.
EDIT: Went back into Best Buy the very next day and they were able to give me the Moto 360 for the $80 price. I'm now a proud owner for a Moto 360, Black Edge 64, and wireless charger!!!
I was wondering if anyone had received update on delivery date from their supplier.
I ordered mine directly from samsung on the 23rd Aug, dual sim version. Expecting delivery on the 15th. Not received any notification but rang up samsung who informed me delivery scheduled for the 15th.
Arrrgh. When you said "UK pre-orders shipped", I thought you meant the UK pre-orders had shipped...
You big tease.
P.S.
I pre-ordered from very.co.uk on 30th Aug, was given the delivery ETA of "by 15th Sep" but have no indication they're warming up for delivery yet.
Ordered direct no status update yet It's normally on release day I've only ever known a few be delivered on the day before release in UK
Anyone ordering dual sim will have to wait till end of September
2 days to go lets see if like this phone currently using LG V20 which is better then i expected.
My phone has heen shipped should have it tomorrow.
Mine just shipped. Only ordered three days ago too. Well done Samsung UK.
You did well mate, i think dual sim version is out of stock now which is what i ordered. Which colour did you order.
Two note 8 (gold and black) from samsung Uk store coming tomorrow, they have been shipped! happy times.
Received notification, mine will be delivered tomorrow.
Hello everyone. Haven't noticed a preorder thread for the samsung s21. I pre-ordered the s21 ultra black. Post what you ordered and any updates on shipping.
already got FedEx tracking but said expected ship date Jan 25, expected delivery Jan 27
Pre-ordered the S21 Ultra 256GB black - delivery date is 29 Jan. Would be nice if it arrived a little early
Ordered 512gb black. No shipping info yet. Email did state delivery on the 29th
Ordered Gslaxy S21 normal because I not like big phones and the same no updates only show expected delivery 29th January, Some people from Germany start reporting the order status change from pre order to in proces
I preordered the Ultra and it is currently marked for delivery on 1/27 - I also ordered the Case with SPen and it is currently marked as shipped with a tracking number - delivery date is 1/21 (this Thursday)
What is unusual is, when I look at Shipment Details for the Case it gives it's weight as 13 pounds, much more than a case would weigh - but it could be the weight of a package that has the case, the S21 Ultra, the Buds Pro, and the box that holds them all....at least that is what I am hoping.... I guess I will find out Thursday....

Well, that kind of blows my theory - no way it would way that much. I will still hope it comes early -but it probably will be as they said originally - I am really looking forward to getting it.
I ordered brown ultra unlocked and it says ship date is February 16th. I guess I should’ve ordered black cuz almost 30 days is a long time to wait.

Hopefully that is a error. I don't think there will be a shortage unless it's because of the color
that is no error.
only blank and white ship next week.
those other 3 color take 4 weeks to ship.

Same thing happened with my custom hinge color fold2. It came earlier than expected but later than none custom hinge colors.
Preordered the Violet and the buds: can no longer cancel and says in process.

Not true: my Violet order is in process ( can’t cancel) and will be delivered no later than 1/27 which is 2 weeks from date of order.
I had ordered the S21 ultra 512gb Black, with the active 2 44mm watch, trading in my s20 ultra, ship date is 27th!
Trading in an old Exynos Galaxy S8+ to T-Mobile for a 128GB S21 Ultra in black. $400 is great, but not when you consider that Samsung gives $250 for the same phone and another $200 ($250 with a promo code) in credit for accessories. So I left $100 on the table in exchange for financing that doesn't require another credit check.
The Samsung deal is better, but only when you actually use all the credit. The only accessory I would want is the Galaxy Buds Pro, which I can likely find dirt cheap in a month or two. I've got loads of wireless chargers, USB C bricks, etc. so it does me no good. The Samsung deal is absurd for those looking to upgrade or get into the ecosystem.
This'll be my secondary phone for my business, I stepped away from Android a few months ago and am very happy to be on an iPhone, but since I could use a second phone for my business and I don't want to pay for YouTube Premium (Vanced ftw) - I'll rock the S21 Ultra for a while. Lovely to see you folks and hope to share some fun themes, mods, and goodies for the S21U!
Preordered the S21+ Phantom Black through AT&T. No shipping info yet, but order scheduled for delivery by 1/29.
What have you gone for? Contract? Direct purchase from Samsung?
Been looking for a few days for a decent contract offer and ended up ordering from CPW, S21 Ultra 256gb £43/month 100gb data with the usual buds pro and smart tag offer, S10 trade in to cover upfront payment (most of it)
Any upgrade offers from Voda were garbage in comparison to the new contract deal so will be doing the PAC shuffle in a couple of months to get my years old Voda number on to my new Voda contract.
Samsung direct with student discount and trade in old phone, I can get Ultra 256 for £790. Just hovering over the "purchase" button.
Samsung UK Direct and they force you to pick a delivery slot via DPD on the 29th Jan. Interestingly though Three UK show delivery as 26th Jan and indicators from people in the US are that people have tracking info already and are expecting delivery 26/27th Jan. Will be super miffed if Samsung Direct ship after Three UK!
I noticed on my order it says delivery BY 29th Jan, confirmation email states "current expected delivery date 29th", and follow up email states "Once stock has arrived at warehouse, orders will be dispatched asap"

Yeah it says BY the 29th on Samsung, but then proceeds to make you chose the 29th as your actual delivery date with DPD. So even if it is available on the 26th, my delivery slot is the 29th.... maybe I'm missing something!
Ordered directly from Samsung as soon as the upgrade link became available, and it's saying 4 to 5 weeks because I chose the brown one rather than black or white. I'm guessing it'll still ship for the 29th however. At least, I hope so
Well... My order just changed to dispatched. S21 ultra silver. From Samsung UK.
Anyone else? Be so nice if it came tomorrow. I have another one, s21 standard, for the gf that states its preparing to dispatch.

Wow that would be amazing, no change for mine this morning, same S21 Ultra Silver Samsung UK. When you ordered did it make you pick the 29th on the delivery section (DPD slot)?.
It did make me pick 29th. And this morning there is no active delivery. Strange one.
Are dpd gonna hold onto it till the 29th? It's deffo getting lost then
amazon - and wont ship till 30th...those buying from samsung direct might get a few days earlier - the lucky ones - but with everything going on atm in the world - who knows

Nah, DPD are good at not losing things thankfully. They're about the only courier I trust as they've never let me down.
No movement on mine yet..Still in preparing to dispatch status..ordered on 16th Jan

Same here, bought on the 16th. I opted for the 256gb Ultra model.
Ordered mine from Samsung Ireland in the 15th , still saying it's being processed
Ordered my 256gb Ultra with Three during lunch. Staying with unlimited data ect for £79 a month (first 6 half price) Contract wasn't up for renewal till April but they only charged £90 for the early cancellation so see that as a result. Currently a £170 extra trade in deal right now too so, selling the buds on top not bad to say the least.
Read people are having Klarna/finance declined so saves that hassle of going through Samsung direct.
They told me it would arrive by Tuesday at the latest.

Worth checking the non-student price - you get a better trade in value (£350 Vs £210 for an S10+) so it was actually slightly cheaper for me

Yeah, I checked. They gave me a better price for the 8pro but it was still £10 more expensive. Maybe there's a bottom limit they'll sell it for.
Ordered mine from Samsung for delivery on the 29th. The status is on 'Preparing Dispatch'. Samsung have always been reliable in the past.

Silver 512Gb from Amazon, delivery stated as due on the 30th. Had over £900 in Amazon vouchers, or would have gone direct from Samsung for huge trade-in on aging but serviceable 256Gb S9+. Instead that's probably going on eBay, with loads of extras.
