Official AT&T Galaxy S4 Preorder Status Thread

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:

Ordered mine tuesday morning. It says 2-day delivery, but it also says it'll arrive "on or around may 3rd"

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.

Wooo! Just doing my regular obsessive "galaxy s4" search in google and saw the news. I'm leaving the country May 2nd and only got standard shipping without the ability to change (ordered in store) so this is amazing news for me. Thought for sure I was gonna get the phone May 3rd and be pissed lol

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!

any word on in-store availability?

Do a google on "ATT april 23"
a lot of reports say its still not 100% confirmed but I think it is.

360 cam promo

I just finished registering for my free battery and cradle, then I found out I was eligible for the 360 cam promo. My flyer I got from the t mobile store on my day of purchase said that deal expired on the 15th of april and I bought mine in the 16th. LGs website says you have until the 24th of April to purchase a G5 and and get the 360 cam.
So for anyone that recently purchased the phone from t-mobile, you still have a chance for the battery and the camera promo

Thanks, sucks that's it's only for T-Mobile though.

pre-ordered mine so didn't have this issue but thanks for sharing the info!

Has anyone received an email confirmation? My wife received one for the battery and cradle, but I don't think it's shipped yet.

They send you an email after it ships

Wasn't able to get to the store in time on Sunday night.
T-Mobile.com should count as a "participating T-Mobile store", right?
The G5 is on backorder from T-Mobile, it could be up to a week before they ship. Hope I still qualify for all of the promos!

Just got an email from UPS to expect delivery by Friday, 5/20.

I got my package for my day 1 verizon G5 around last weekened. In addition to the battery, charging cradle, and 360 cam they also included a free super small micro to type C adapter plug. (less than 1")

Shipped with delivery date of 5/24 though.... Can't wait!

Got my UPS confirmation and tracking info 5/19 delivery date

Mine shipped this morning and said expected date is 5/20/16. yay

just got my confirmation and my expected delivery date is set for the 21st. still wish they had a B&O module for sale in the states tho lol

Received mine yesterday, and it's a pretty neat gadget. However I'm starting to realize you can't use it for anything practical as I have found no way to actually post 360 degree pictures or videos yet. Anyone have any ideas how?

Verizon S9+

Anyone else preorder from Verizon? Anyone have any idea when they're shipping? Mine says on the 16th, which would be way later than every other carrier. Sucks because my HTC 10 is dying and I need a new phone pretty quick, being attached to a charger all the time blows.

Update: cc ran on Friday and got tracking Saturday. FedEx overnight showing delivery tomorrow Monday.
I pre ordered on the 2nd was told by the rep that if I signed up for the Verizon up program that the phone would ship earlier. I checked the status today and it has a 3/12 ship by date.

Verizon Ireland

Preordered both my Verizon s9+ and s9 from Best Buy on 3/2. They took the money Friday but the order still shows processing with an estimated delivery date of 3/16... No updates yet...

Mine says it shipped today and FedEx says it was actually picked up as well, expected delivery Wednesday

Mine shipped Friday, FedEx has Monday delivery before 5.

Best Buy will be Friday the 16th for any orders. Just a FYI from what I've been seeing. Unless your store breaks corporate policy and will allow you to get them early.

I reserved the past two galaxies (s7 and s8) from best buy and all received them exactly 4 days early. and that was store pickup also. so crossing my fingers it will be the same for the s9+

Least the stores I've been too that's what has been told to me. Maybe the peeps at my place are little more... strict with the timelines.
With shipping might get a day or so earlier but sadly I wouldn't expect unless you get a confirmation 1-2 days out.

That's what I've heard so was expecting that myself when I did the pre-order then found out after the main crazy calmed down that Friday would be the day :/ I mean great, least I'll have it for the weekend, sucks because was expecting it hopefully as early as tomorrow (Wednesday). So eager since I should of never given up my "personal mobile" 4-5 years ago (forgot which) and eager to get it back, let alone be back on android.
Don't get me wrong I want it earlier and hope it does and Best Buy isn't being a stickler for the street date of the 16th. I'd do it early so there isn't a potentially larger then necessary crowd trying to get their phones all on the same day (walkin's vs pre-orders) , but hey I'm just a customer and what would I know about logistics.

Best buy just charged me. So hopefully that means they got stock and will be releasing them soon.

Mine, too. Shipped late Sunday (shipping label), picked up Monday, due tomorrow (Wednesday 14th). Verizon S9+ in Idaho, USA. Can't wait!

When should i expect it to arrive?

I know it sounds like im impatient but im just curious. When should i expect the phone to arrive after it has shipped on the 21st? (im in canada)

Mine says to expect delivery by the 23rd. Did you buy from Samsung or your carrier?

Mine says the 23rd (in the States) as well and am hoping that's for the delivered date and not the delivery date. But would be thrilled to have it a couple days early! I keep checking my order every day. Yes, I know, it's bad.

Mine has moved from in process to preparing to ship with At&t USA. I think At&t customers will receive them Wednesday or Thursday.

As I remember correctly, my Galaxy s10e release date was March 8th and Samsung promised delivery by 8th. The phone arrived on the 6th and was shipped on 4th. Hope this time is the same and Samsung will ship it on the 19th, so I could get it by 21st

Process the day before they ship it out, at least thats what they did for S10+

My 10+ unlocked Aura 256G shipped today Aug 19 and FedEx shows they'll deliver Aug 21. That is two days earlier than the Samsung date in the order status. Dallas, TX area.

Mine will be here on Wednesday, shipped on the 17th.

My phone itself hasn't shipped yet, so I'm assuming that it ships tomorrow and gets here Friday.

Im hoping so as well. Koodo sent an email saying "its on its way" checked the tracking number and the label has been created. Guess I'll wait and see

Google Store order expected Nov 3-4 but order on store does not have the cancel option anymore. I'm in Montana and looks like it may ship soon?!? We shall see...

I still have the cancel option. Ordered on the 11th. Shipping is expected Nov 4-5. Google store US

Cancel option still on mine. Delivery set for Nov 4th or 5th ordered October 9th, I'm in Indiana. I used Google finance and they charged me immediately it seems.

I pre-ordered through Telus on Oct. 15. Got my UPS tracking number on Friday - it shows a delivery date of tomorrow, Monday Oct. 26 @ 10:30-2:30pm!!!!
However, I'm a bit skeptical. UPS tracking only shows a label was created, not a single scan since Friday. I'll mentally expect it Tuesday or Wednesday
