Anyone else "duked" by amazon on the skyrocket ??

want to hear from others that were wronged by amazon wireless.... After doing my research on what phone I wanted, I took advantage of the deal going on @Amazon wireless on Thanksgiving, where you got the skyrocket for a penny--- went thru the steps---approved thru AT&T--showed IN STOCK ordered it.... Supposed to ship within one week (2 day free shipping...yeah right) So the next day I return to the site to gain more info---now I see the skyrocket is "not available" backorder... Thought , good thing I bought yesterday (said IN STOCK when I cashed out) so I check my order and find that ship date is JAN. 9 ! Ordered on Nov 24th, I called in and found that they threw me in the backorder pool...That is BS I told them , because it said IN STOCK when I purchased... Had this info been laid in front of me @ time of purchase I may have done something diff. Even now if you go to the site, it will show "backordered, ships in 1 - 2 weeks--really? And my order from Nov 24th goes all the way to Jan 9th? So, looking for others wronged by Amazon..... . I also checked with both at&t and Samsung. ...no shortage of skyrockets........... Thanks for listening

Sorry about your bad luck my friend. Mine showed up from Amazon two days after I ordered it.

I ordered on the 21st and didn't get it until the 28th because Amazon shipped too late in the day for ups to send it on time in 2 days.

I also ordered on Monday 11/21 and got mine Wed. 11/23...sorry for your bad luck. But you still got it for $.01 right? I've checked prices and they're now at $189 or something.

Ordered the 22nd and got it overnight the 23rd..got to play with it on my days off for thanksgiving.
Republic wireless has hosed me though..i ordered from them the same go-live night and i am not getting shipped till xmas..that's a month and half late..
hope its worth the $19 unlimited everything deal for my wife.

Wow bummer.. least its only a penny for the wait

I ordered on the 25th and it said I should get it Dec 8th. I'll check and verify that's still the case. When I ordered it, it said it was out of stock, so I was expecting a delay. But Jan??? That's a bit much.

Amazon Wireless actually sent me two Skyrockets.
I originally placed an order but was required to do a manual review by ATT/Amazon and was too lazy to do it at the time so a few days later I placed another order and actually did the manual review. After I finished the manual review I got a confirmation of the first order as well as the second one.
I get two shipping emails but only one new number email. I figure it is a mistake and that Amazon would catch it before shipping after the Thanksgiving Holiday. A few days later I have two Amazon boxes sitting at my front door. I only opened one line but have this extra Skyrocket sitting on my desk.
I love Amazon.
EDIT: I'm sorry if I got your phone.

Oh you got my phone! I'll PM you my address si tgat you can forward it to me ASAP
LOL

eh i got a 249$ phone for .01 ... even though it took a week to arrive i am still happy with it.
at least they still honored the .01 price if it was out of stock .. most black friday sales just tell you that you are sol if the item is out of stock.

Tracking says it got delivered today.

I ordered on 25th as well and mine should be delivered tomorrow. Along with SGS II and Captivate Glide (Moving 3 lines from Tmobile)

I ordered 1AM on Tuesday and it arrived 3PM on Wednesday. I was actually impressed because I was expecting it the following Monday after the holiday.
I'm sorry you still have to wait. But for a $.01...I wouldn't mind the wait. Maybe you can get them to send you a white one?

I think my wait was attributed to Captivate Glide because it was suppose to ship in "8 - 10 days".

Amazon's customer service is top notch. They use all their muscle to right any wrongs. My guess is that you will be getting your device much sooner than Jan 9.

[UK] Carphone Warehouse pre-orders

Hi all
Anyone pre-ordered from CW yet?
what did you get and when do you think it will be shipped
Cannot remember if last year they were OK or not at shipping them ahead of others
Also are there some freebies with these orders?

I tried to pre-order....THREE times. First time, 2 hours later got an email back saying they could not proceed and had cancelled the order (no epxlanation). Second time got an email back an hour later saying they had cancelled it again, due to an "information mismatch". Rang them up to find out what the hell they were playing at, got through to sales who couldnt tell me why they had cancelled it so they passed me on to the "web team", who couldnt tell me anything at all, and passed me on to customer services.....who cut me off. I tried one final time to order it, this time got a reply an hour later again saying that it had been cancelled again, due to me failing a credit check, and telling me to check with the network I had selected......I had not selected any network since I was buying the handset only, there was no requirement for any kind of credit check, and if they HAD done a credit check then it would have come back as perfect. At this point I went to John Lewis website instead and ordered it fine first time. I will lose the crappy £99 speaker that was gonna go straight on ebay anyway, but it'll be worth it not to have to deal with the CPW muppets ever again.
I wasn't sure who to go with as I wanted to make sure delivery was on 20th since I will be at home that day and I figured CPW would have the most stock plus the free speaker. But then they will probably also have the most orders. John Lewis isn't a place people would normally think of buying a mobile from (I was surprised to even see it listed!) so I'm hoping they have enough stock and reliable enough delivery to get it to me on time. My order confirmation shows the delivery date, the CPW confirmation only said "current" delivery date which didn't sound very definite to me!

Ordered instore at CPW inside Curry's Bolton today. Black S8 (SimFree). Took 10 mins, collect from store on the 20th & get a free Samsung speaker

Same. Ordered instore in Market Harborough CPW for delivery to store on 20th. The free Samsung speaker looks rather nice and is waterproof to match the phone. I'll be using that in my bathroom. They had both S8 models to play with - full working units, not dummies. Very nice indeed! Went for the S8 - it's plenty big enough!

Scary how much smaller it is than my 6P and how little bezel there is! Still almost went for the plus tho...

Ordered mine on Launch 10 mins after the Live Announcement ended from CPW in Currys in York. Got a Black S8 + Free Wireless Speaker and a free £50 Currys/PCWorld Gift Card to use within 6 months. Delivery to store on 20th April.

Indeed. I was amazed at how the plus just doesn't look huge as I imagined it would. I wasn't actually intending to order - I bought a Google Pixel a week ago but was very disappointed as the lens flare I got in several photos over the weekend. CPW accepted the return and I paid the extra for the S8. Now having to use my old Nexus 5 for a couple of weeks.

Good to know the returns policy works. Just hope rooting is possible and the custom rom scene is good enough on the S8. (had Nexus devices since the GNex & really going to miss crack flashing).....

I had a Galaxy S7 before the Pixel. I didn't do any custom roms or anything, but did flash firmware on a couple of occasions. TouchWiz (or whatever they call it now) is not an issue any more - I put Nova Launcher on it and to me it looks just like stock Android. The photos I took on the S7 pleased me more than those I took on the Pixel, so I have high hopes for the tweaked camera algorithms on the S8.

It's actually not the same sensor either ,it's the same specs but a new one that no other phone uses. I'm sure it will be better in many scenarios with the improved processing and new features and will probably knock the Pixel from 1st place on dxomark. I can't wait to do some testing once I get it.

I can't wait for the 20th and my new phone! I pre-ordered it from CPW on Saturday.

I've had this from Carphone Warehouse several times in the past. I can almost guarantee that if I order anything online from them the payment will be rejected and I will have to contact them, then my bank to get it sorted. I don't know what they do, but I never have issues like this with any other company. When I check my credit reference no search is visible from them and, as you say, there is no reason to refer to a credit reference to buy a phone SIM free!

I didnt order from Samsung because when I went there to check on Sat, it was saying deliver by 28th and didn't even mention getting it earlier via pre-order so I assume they had already sold out of the pre-order ones. I think years ago when I was going to pre-order something from Samsung it turned out that they didn't have enough stock to fill it, and other places like CPW did, so I ended up having to cancel it and get it elsewhere to avoid delays. You would think Samsung themselves would have the most stock but that wasn't the case back then so i haven't ordered direct from them since.
CPW are clearly too incompetent to get their own website to work properly, and too incompetent to be able to deal with it when it doesn't work, so hopefully John Lewis can deliver instead.

On JL website - they only have S8+?

I like you guys LOVE the phone and want to upgrade. 2 things have stopped me, 1 = is what the battery life is going to be like, 2 = and most importantly is because UK is getting screwed again with crap deals, US are getting memory or VR etc and silver colors etc, UK are not getting anything other then maybe insurance or £50 speaker which not all of us want.
Slowly tempted to wait for better deals but look forward to your reviews, Enjoy your new slick phones!!

Depends what you want. I'd much rather have the speaker than a VR headset or a memory card!
I'm not sure the UK is getting screwed - the S8 launches here at the same time as the States. There are many countries that don't see phone releases until much later after launch. We generally get them pretty quickly.

Yup battery life worries me too but I have not found another device that I would be willing to go for and my S5 is getting on a bit so I need to upgrade.
UK being screwed is nothing new. We get screwed on price and screwed on deals for just about everything. Now they are using brexit as an excuse to stick the prices up on everything when we were already paying far more than the exchange rate says we should have been paying in the first place! They have all just spotted an opportunity to increase their profits by a big chunk and hide it as being brexit. And Samsung themselves can keep whacking up prices all over the world because they dont really have any serious competition at the top end, otherwise they wouldn't be able to.

Finally, a second case for the Essential Phone

At last, a case other than the VivaMadrid one which isn't available out of the US. It's still only available for pre-order though.

I already e-mailed them last week on ETA and was told 6 weeks. So my guess sometime around Thanksgiving Day. And I did place a pre-order.

Too good to be true.

So I pinged MobileFun.com last week when I received a credit card statement. Normally in my experience, when I place a pre-order a credit card does not get charged until the item ships. In MobileFun.com case as soon as I placed a pre-order I got charged for the case. So I reached out to them and asked if the shipment is happening anytime soon and pointed out that they already charged me? Their reply is that they absolutely have no idea when it's going to ship. And my guess it most likely won't ship at all since today they refunded my money.
Beware! Iffy business practice. I guess it was too good to be true.

Current Shipping Dates? Weirdness

After waffling between a 4a 5G and a 5 I finally pulled the trigger on a 5 during the Black Friday sale for $50 off. I had also hoped by waiting that Google would resolve the screen glue issue. Order date was Nov 30. Retiring my old 2 XL, but would have kept it for another year if updates kept coming.
My listed shipping dates have always been Dec 29-30. From time to time I've checked the store for current shipping dates, and the phone has actually been out of stock for a couple weeks, but they did have stock for Fi and Verizon with almost immediate shipping. I last checked yesterday.
Early this morning I received notice from my credit card company that Google finally charged my card. My shipping dates are still listed as Dec 29-30. I decided to check if the phone was back in stock, and if so, what current shipping dates are. Yup, back in stock, shipping dates for current orders listed as Dec 16-19. During the time it took to write this post, shipping dates changed and just now listed as Dec 23-25. Both these dates are obviously earlier than my listed shipping dates.
I suspect they just received a new batch from manufacturing and my phone is about to ship, but the changing dates are a bit weird and I've never experienced that before. I'm usually a first day, first minute orderer for my Pixels and I'm used to being in the first shipments.
Anyone else get charged overnight? Did your shipping dates get updated?

A few months ago I bought a 4a pre-order and I got stuck with a later shipment than many people. I was not too worried and it arrived when it was supposed to but I also didn't get the charge until it was ready to go like usual.
If it's coming FedEx ground they're probably calculating that in right now -- the real issue is once the label is made and sent to FedEx, if that's today, then by tomorrow you should know what the real ETA is

are they doing USPS? lots of people been getting delay on USPS shipment.

I did standard (free) shipping. Who knows? I'm waiting for Google Store support chat right now. I started at #169 in line. It's going down at a rate of about 1 per minute. Sheesh. Current shipping dates for new orders showing Dec 25-29. My order is still just showing "Ordered".

I had a similar issue but found out some great answers from a customer service rep. I also was quoted a late December delivery when I placed my order in late November. Mine shipped early because their new shipments for fi arrived early.
This is how it goes.... its crazy.
They will temporarily charge your card if you move up in the order "queue". They will then refund the money into your account a few days later after they verify the funds are available. This means the order is getting ready to get processed finally.
You will finally be charged the due amount when the order finally goes to the warehouse for shipping.
They wont permanently charge your account until the phone is sent to shipping. If they haven't refunded the money into your account I would bet that your phone ships very soon.
I was getting tired of the late shipping times and lack of answers so i created a reddit ticket. My phone shipped 24 hours later. Give that a try if things dont go well.
Hope this makes sense.

Over an hour later and I am #82 in line. Had to plug in the laptop!

Finally had a chat.....answer was basically, yeah you're right, newer orders are shipping before yours. We can cancel your $50 off order and you can re-order at full price for earlier shipping. Uh....no....I'll wait, and just stew about it. That's a pretty good summary of the chat. Not too happy.

So.....interesting developments this morning.
I awoke to an e-mail from Google, posted below.
**************************
Hi **********,
Thanks for contacting Google!
As promised, I'm sending this email to you.
This email is in reference to the chat conversation we had today regarding your order status- ******Order Number*********
I'd like to assure you that your order is perfectly fine from our end.
It will get delivered within the time frame- Dec 29, 2020 - Dec 30, 2020
And it'll get shipped a couple of days before that.
You'll also receive a shipping confirmation email once it'll be out from our end.
Stay assured, you'll get your hands on it very soon.
For the inconvenience, I'll be adding $50 to your Store Credits.
Also, I am sorry for the long wait that you experienced but thank you for your kind understanding and patience.
I would like to offer you extra $10.00 Store credit as a good will gesture.
You may check that by visiting the link *****This was a hyperlink****
In case of any discrepancy, please feel free to reply to my email, I'll be right here for your assistance.
Stay assured, I've taken full ownership of your case.
Thanks!

The Google Support Team
***************************************************************
The link took me to Google Pay which showed nothing, but when I checked the Store, I did, in fact, have a $60 credit, which expires on 12/31/2021.
Not only that.....today I received notice that my order has shipped through Fedex, with an arrival date of 12/21/2020. It's shipping from Carol Stream, IL. In the past all my phones have shipped from about 20 miles away from me.
So I have gone from being very unhappy and questioning my loyalty to Google products to being very happy. I think I am going to use my credit for a Pixel Stand, but maybe a new Nest Audio, but I've got so many Google Homes (full size and minis) and Chromecast products that I really don't need anything but the Stand. I also suspect the Stand, which is WAY overpriced, will go on sale again relatively soon. So we'll see.
In any case, I wanted to be fair to Google. I'm very happy with the way they handled this.

Ordered from Google France on 15 Dec, shipped on 16, arrived today.

Question Anyone else's flip 3 delayed?

I ordered a gray and pink 256mb flip 3s on 8/13. A few weeks ago got an email stating a 30 day delay which I read was more that the phones haven't shipped yet and its been 30 days.
My estimated delivery has always been 9/21. Well I just got a new email stating phones are delayed with no new shipping date available. My 9/21 date is now gone from my app and only shows order date of 8/13.
Anyone else get delayed? I kind of wish I got the black and just skinned it to change up colors.

That's strange. What market are you in? I ordered the 256gb gray one on the 15/08. Received it on the 10/09. I'm in the UK.

A 30 day delay could mean the beginning of October (~ 10/8). Typically, they mean business days.
The release was 8/27, so the actual order date only matters for your place in line when they become available. The estimate also relies on every shipment being as large or larger than predicted.
Realistically, I ordered a (whatever) white Note 20 Ultra that looked really nice the whole four times I saw it without a case. One of those times was when taking it to be repaired because the adhesive under the glass magically began to peel and the other was when I sent it in for a trade-in. I got black this time.

I ordered mine on the 16/9, and it arrived on 17/9... I didn't even know stock shortages were a thing for this phone.
Of course they added the 'free watch' offer on the 17th, so I'm now having to go through the process of returning this day-old phone and ordering a new on just so I can get the offer, and there's probably going to be a shortage now..

I'm in Egypt. I ordered my phone from Samsung on 15/08 and was supposed to be delivered by the 7th of September. My phone was delayed for a week, then, Samsung decided to ship the phone without the gift leather case and without the 1-year accidental screen damage replacement card.
They sent an email stating that the gifts will be delayed for two weeks, however I received my phone yesterday.

That's strange. What market are you in? I ordered the 256gb gray one on the 15/08. Received it on the 10/09. I'm in the UK.

California, USA. Maybe has to do with the pink color delayed.

I ordered mine on the 16/9, and it arrived on 17/9... I didn't even know stock shortages were a thing for this phone.

What carrier was offering the free watch?

Update this morning. Order when from customizing to created and cancel button gone. Now 10 minutes later order is now "in process". Might be getting soon?!

And its shipped! Just got notification earlier this evening. Will be here in 2 days. Very excited.

Well...2day via fedex is a bust. "Potentially delayed" and stuck at the local fedex about an hour away...was suppose to arrive yesterday, no new delivery date posted. Samsung did offer an additional 5% off order once it delivers so that is good.
I've had 10 delays from this same fedex in the past, one being a month long fiasco. So I am not expecting my flip 3's anytime soon.
Worst case scenario I will just pick up the black flips at best buy or tmobile next week and call it a day.

I picked up the black one in store.
