Post your preorder status here!
Current status: SHIPPED!
TO BE DELIVERED THIS THURSDAY!
I placed an order with AT&T Premier at 3am on Tuesday.
Ordered two black 16gb.
Order status was immediately at backordered but changed to processing.
I wish they gave free overnight shipping but best I got was free two day.
So it if ships on the 30th (tuesday), Looking at a Thursday delivery day!
Update 04/22
ATT SENT AN EMAIL:
"Dear Valued AT&T Customer,
Thank you for ordering the Samsung Galaxy S® 4 from AT&T. We are excited to announce that we are able to ship devices earlier than originally expected. Customers who preordered their smartphone early can begin receiving it as soon as April 25th.
You should expect to receive an Order Confirmation email with your shipment tracking number as soon as your order has been shipped."
Update:
Checking your order status:
Go to https://www.att.com/order_status/
There you will be able to see if you are on backorder. This works even if you are a premier customer.
Update from ATTBrandon
ATTBrandon says that att will start shipping on April 23. (This upcoming tuesday)
Lets hope its true.
It is now clear that the phone is on backorder for late orders since some emails are coming in to people saying their order is backordered.
I DIDNT GET AN EMAIL YET!?!
Dont worry. From my experience I never get the emails like "your order has finished processing and is ready for shipment" This does not mean anything. If you check your order status and it says that backordered quantity = 0, you're good to go. If it says 1, dont worry it might change on the day att begins shipping. If you ordered very late, than you will have to wait if backorder = 1.
Should I cancel and try to pick it up in store?
This is entirely up to you. There is no guarantee you will be able to pick it up in store.
ATT Support/Chat said "So and So"
Dont listen to att support. Whatever they tell you when you call or chat online regarding your order, unless they tell you there is a problem with your order is all false. They know as much as you do, maybe even less.
Nice man. Here in Australia we have to wait till the 23rd, then we can preorder. :thumbdown:

That's pretty much in line with what AT&T has said. On or around the 3rd for delivery.
I ordered mine right after the site went live. At the beginning of the order it said ships April 30th. However, halfway through the order process, there was a page that mentioned April 26th. It was either "ships by" or "delivered by." Then at the end of the order, it went back to "ships on April 30th. I'm wondering since AT&T was supposed to be one of the first carriers to have the S4, that the "April 30th ship date" is just a precaution and they might quite possibly be delivered on April 26th.
Anyone else notice this?
Ordered at 7am est on Tuesday. Had to do it over the phone to get an early upgrade but I chose overnight shipping. The order status just says processing. Where is everyone seeing the ship date and such?

I honestly feel like they will ship before the 30th. The 30th date seems like an insurance policy against delays, but I bet they want to be first. Who knows. Wishful thinking.
Around or before May 3rd my status says on the AT&T premier site. Not a official ups or FedEx tracking yet .

I think you may be on to something. I dont understand how if I go on att's site it still says "your device will ship on april 30". No way preordered have held this long. Unless samsung has sent a few million of them. What's the point of holding on to them when there are already ordered in place and they have the stock.

I ordered Wednesday, and called back Thursday to cancel and they said I couldn't because it was being prepared to ship, but my status does not say warehouse. I'm PO'd because I want a free accessory or money off, especially if the other stores will get it first, what the F is the point of a pre-order if everyone else does it cheaper or offers more, AND delivers it earlier. I will return mine and goto best buy, very annoyed at AT&T for not cancelling my order.
I ordered mine from at&t a few days ago. Should have it may 1st as i paid for overnight shipping.

I'm thinking about ordering a 2nd Galaxy S4 but off contract. My family plan is full so I can't add another $10/month line. I can however add a brand new plan...my question is if I add a new plan w/2 year contract Galaxy S4 for $199...then cancel the plan immediately (ETF for $325) will my total charges just be $525 (phone + etf)? Or are there other hidden charges like I still have to pay for that first month of service on the new plan? And do they disable or blacklist the phone you ordered when you cancel and pay an ETF? This seems like a much better deal to get an "off contract" phone than paying the $639.99 for the same exact thing...am I wrong?
Nice, I'm very happy!

Do a google on "ATT april 23"
a lot of reports say its still not 100% confirmed but I think it is.
I thought I would start where we can list who has them in Stock and who bought one.
I saw someone earlier say they said a store had them in Boston.

I'll be in Boston and skegness today, I'll have a look round all the phone shops
my local tmobile store here in california have stocks. I've seen them. But the manager said they have instructions not to sell until Oct.2.
So i assume most tmobile stores will also have them in stock in the coming days. But won't display them until opening day.
Someone will end up selling it early. They always do

So it looks like it might be out September 25th or is this just the other countries around the world and not the US?

Just chatted with Best Buy reps and they said they are talking about Oct release. But their website shows 9/27.
Anyone else have any luck in the US getting one yet?
So now Best Buy says it is Oct 4th, wow. Can someone please get that correct.
Supposedly it's early October but according to my pre-order mine is supposed to arrive today. Mind you there's no other info on it other than Order Placed. -shrugs-
this is pre-ordering directly from T-mobile btw.
I called AT&T and rep said, oh it's backorder but should be in within 10-15 business days. I just said, yeah Ok thanks. Wonder if these people get any training at all before answering the phones.

Ok going to check all local Best Buys, Best Buy Mobiles, and AT&T stores near me today...
Let me know if you guys find any in stock in the US.
My AT&T pre order from Sept 6th:
Pending Shipment
Carrier:
Shipping Date: 09/11/13 - 09/13/13*
So no change yet on that...
Called 1st AT&T store and they said Oct. 4th.
Just called another AT&T store (bigger store) and they said they will have the Galaxy Note 3 in stock on Oct 1...
1st Best Buy called and they have no stock and he checked the back stock to see if they even received any in the warehouse and they have not received any yet...
2nd Best Buy called, they had no idea when they would be in stock...
So far 1 person on the message boards said theirs shipped from AT&T but there is no proof.
My status still says shipping pending.
Checked on my status of the pre order on the 6th; still says shipment pending.
Anyone else get a shipping from AT&T yet?
I will keep you posted if anything changes.
Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some potentially juicy info. I've been amped up about a potential early release of the VZW model from that last thread that got closed, so I've started my own sleuthing around.
I saw a thread somewhere that someone had heard from a Best Buy employee that the VZW version would be on sale on Friday, October 4th (that's this Friday!) As a result, I decided to call 4 of my local Best Buy stores (which included one specialty BB Mobile store) and check for myself. This is what they said
Store 1: "we don't have an exact date yet, but it should be within the next week" (this is unfortunate, because this is the closest store to my house)
Store 2: "our system says October 4th"
BB Mobile: "we haven't received any shipments yet, but the system says October 4th"
Store 3: "We haven't gotten a shipment yet, but if they arrive, they will go on sale on October 4th"
Things are beginning to look up again for the Verizon faithful. I encourage everybody give their local BB stores a call to see if you get similar responses. My only question now is if they'll price match VZW's $699 price if the corporate stores haven't started selling them yet (Best Buy currently lists full retail price for the VZW variant as $799)

And they said that this was for the VZW version? The only reason I want to verify, is that the AT&T version releases on Friday the 4th, so I hope they weren't looking at that.
One can only hope, ive called 5 stores in utah and 4 of 5 said the 4th?? but that's weird cause its friday and VZW usually likes thursdays???
i guess we shall wait and see....i'll know when/if i get my preorder email friday morning!

This is the Verizon version. I'm grasping at straws every chance I get, so I hope this Oct 4th date holds true. My heart's been broken once already with the original Sept 29 early shipment rumor (which I hold nothing against the EZ in his thread for), so I'm hoping this holds true.
And hopefully it's for both preorder and walk ins. I'm contemplating cancelling the VZW corporate preorder, and pre-ordering one with BB...

Honestly, if by some miracle BB gets it on 10/4 then I will be at the store asking them to hold one while I call Verizon and cancel my pre-order.
Just spoke to my local Verizon store and she said that they were actually supposed to have them in-store in the next few days, but that had been pushed back and that they don't have a definitive date at this time.

Just got back from BestBuy - pre-ordered there as well. If it's a waste then I just have a $50 gift card sitting around. At this point I cant tell if my pre-order from Verizon will arrive before or after BestBuy... Either way, hoping that one of these places gets it this week.

Hopefully it's the same as the S4 release from Verizon which shipped 8 days before it's expected ship date.
..Also the S3 pre-orders arrived several days before the ship date as well.
..Unfortunately it looks like they didn't start shipping the Note 2 until it's ship by date.
It's Verizon though, so of course we can't have a truly definitive ship date.. If they botch my order I'll ship the Note back and just wait until December to cancel and go to T-Mobile. I lover Verizon's service, but they make getting the latest greatest so damn difficult.

May I ask what makes you say that? I'm not disputing you (quite the opposite, judging how all these early release rumors are going), but maybe you know something that we don't.
I'm gonna call BB every day until we can get something more concrete, either from them or from VZW

youre fine i just say that knowing verizon and other people saying they would ship by now. verizon wont let bb beat them to the punch.

Called 2 best buys near me (Hershey, PA) as well as 2 verizon corporate stores. Best buy guaranteed the 4th - verizon reps said that is the tentative date if all goes well. Take that as you will, just thought I'd share
it will be nice if they do release it on the 4th but this sounds a lot like the AT&T thread that claimed a release on the 27th at best buy. I used to work at bb a few years ago and the release dates would change all the time until the day before something is supposed to release then they would put a notice on that product to start putting it out on the sales floor. Not sure if they still use this method but thats how it worked when I was there.
Went into my local BB today (Long Island, NY) and they said the 10th.
Well, I called the store closest to me again, came at them with "I've been hearing it'll release on Oct 4th for Verizon", and they told me "we won't know until the Oct 4th release date".
I'm considering just putting money down on a preorder at the store, then waiting to see if BB or VZW will sell one to me first. Does anyone know if BB will price match Verizon's retail price if it hasn't released yet?
My friend that works at Best Buy Mobile spoke with a rep who said it will be at Best Buy on the 10th. The phone will be out for every other carrier on the 4th; Verizon hasn't given an exact date yet which is why Best Buy employees are most likely saying the 4th since that's the day it will be released for every other carrier.
I second that. My friend is a manager at the Samsung department of BB mobile and he said 10th is when BB will have the GN3.

I was told via BB Wireless sales chat (3) different chat sessions and each one said Verizon Wireless, October 4th. I will stop into the store tomorrow, if its there great, if not, then next Thursday it is. But if you notice the BB website says "In Store Only" for Verizon and "Pre-Order" for all other carriers. So why would that be if there isn't something going on.
My pre-order from Samsung still shows preparing for shipment (as it has since Nov 6th when I ordered)
BestBuy still shows "Pre-Order"
Amazon shows "Temporarily Out of Stock"
Anybody actually gotten a tracking number or seen it in a store?
My order was confirmed this morning [LTE version from T-Mobile.] I'm expecting a tracking number before the end of the day.
My local best buy had 3 in stock. I've been trying to preorder through them for a week. Went this morning and just picked it up.

Just picked mine up at my local Best Buy in Arlington, TX. There were still 2 left in the box when I left!
They had 5 in stock in the Woodlands, TX this morning when I picked mine up. Online they did not show anything so it would be best to just swing by.

Just called Samsung. She said they were "processing" my pre-order today and I'd have it by next Wednesday at the latest.

I just canceled my online order and picked one up from the AT&T store by my work
Cancelled my Macy's preorder. Called customer service and they said expected ship date was 12-12. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Verizon might have it before those guys. Plus, that was the wifi/bt only version....
Just picked up the only one available at the corporate store downtown Dallas AT&T. They only received one unit. I was there when the doors opened. Love it.

I ordered mine from AT&T and is supposed to ship on 18th (today) , but still says "preparing to ship"
Just received a reply to the email I sent to Samsung on Monday.
It says:
"Hello,
I do see thatyour order is currently pending to be filled once it comes in stock on11/22/2016. Shipping status is early December, also I do see that you purchased the Gear S3 frontier directly from Samsung.com.We at Samsung appreciate your business, Have a great day!
Thank you,
Sayra|Samsung Ecommerce|855.726.8721|"
My reply wasn't very nice. Shipping status early December? When people are picking them up in stores now? And the highly publicized release date of the 18th.
After the Note fiasco, you'd think they would have been better prepared for upcoming releases of whatever device it may be.
Just picked up mine from at&t. They only had one and only the supply person new they had it. Just hooked it up to my lg v20. Everything seems to work as advertised. I do use the at&t service called numbersync so it does receive calls and texts from my lg v20's phone number.

My local BB price matched the Samsung.com black Friday deal
I took advantage of the BOGO offer. Adding an additional line to get the free phone and will cancel my current line when the phone comes. My wife's will stay active. Don't care about losing my phone number.
Got Orchid Grey for my wife and Arctic Silver for me.
PS, I think today is the last day for the BOGO. The rumors I've heard is any future BOGO offers will require TV service through AT&T.
Wait so do I have to pay anything monthly for the free phone
You will see the regular Next Plan price for your phone on the bill, but will also see a credit for the same amount. The credits start after 3 months, but will be backdated to when you get the phone. If you cancel that line or upgrade the phone before the Next Plan is finished, you will lose the rest of the credits.
Damn, I wished I saw this before I pre-ordered my phone because I did order it before the 1st. I tried to go to Best Buy earlier today (April 2nd), and you do need to have DIRECTV to get the BOGO offer now for the S8 & S8+.
Pre-ordered the S8 in Arctic Silver... now we wait!
Pre-ordered in Black in store.
