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"
I guess we'll see whether it gets here thursday the second or friday the third (fingers crossed!)

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?

[Q] Ship by date Nov. 5th (US Nexus 5)

Does anyone have a ship by date for their nexus 5 purchase before november 5th? Just wondering because i ordered mine within a minute of going on sale and on that page it said shipping would happen in 1-2 days, but then on the email it said by nov 5th.
thanks!

They always say that. Generally they quote by 5 days after ordering despite it saying shipping one day.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

It's two different things though - November 5th is the date when Google estimates the phone will leave their warehouse. 2 day shipping is how fast it will take for the phone to arrive once it gets shipped.
Having said that, mine had Nov 5th date as well and it already shipped, so you might get an update sooner that you expect.

so on the email i got from google it says
"You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped."
i checked the status, and it says pending, but the charged my bank account?? has been shipped already and i just have not received my email? i chose the 2 day shipping.

Also, to OP, try using Q&A subforum next time

When I placed my order it said it would ship by Nov 5th, but shortly after I got bumped to Nov 8th. Not sure what I did to piss off Google

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?

Anybody In The US Heard Anything Yet?

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.

I hope they send your tracking number, but the way things seem to be going, I wouldn't get my hopes too high. I was expecting to wake up with a tracking number from Samsung, didn't happen...

That's awesome. Just checked my local Best Buys, nothing here.

Nothing at my Bestbuy

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.

Amazon telling me Tuesday 11/22 delivery

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

if i cant get one today ill wait till the 20th and get it from samsung.com for $299 free ship and no tax

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.

Ordered on Nov. 4th, just received tracking number

Who did you order it from?

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.

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...

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.
