Pre-order and Overnight or wait until Nov 6?? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
So after calling AT&T stores around here for two days I finally got a confirmed answer, the phone won't be available in stores until the 6th of November. My question for you guys is... Would you wait the 7 days to be able to pick it up in store or should I go to the store and pre order today (Saturday) and pay for overnight in hopes it gets to me Monday, though most likely Tuesday.
If I order it soon I wonder if it would ship out (doubtful) tonight and then get here Monday.
With each passing day I get more anxious about getting my hands on this device!!! Also if I waited until the 6th it would end up saving me abut $40 just with the overnight shipping and the last NEXT payment will have been made on the 4th. Okay so really it saves me the $15 in shipping.... But I'd still get it almost 4 days later..

I got mines already from att. Went ahead and paid the 14 bucks for overnight shipping. Putting the device through the paces now. So far so good. It is a nice device. A lil skeptical about this fingerprint reader though. I already have the Note 5. We shall see though.

I'm not going to lie I think this is the best phone I've ever had and I change phones every 6 months

Oh well going to order today so it ships out asap tomorrow. Overnighting it. I just can't wait any longer!

I am waiting on a replacement on a 30 day exchange. Order was put in on the 11th.
on sprint.com they are currently out of stock... ive been trying to even order one these last few days. Hopefully they get more soon b/c my contract with verizon ends on thursday
i ordered mine from sprint.com as soon as they were in stock on the 14th (a friday, i previously signed up to get notified by email when they get more in stock). it was free over-night shipping and arrived the next business day on monday. it's been working great since then

They told me they couldn't do an exchange while it was out of stock when I called on the 18th, bastards (if you work for Sprint, please don't take this personally). I received mine on the 17th and now I'm waiting for it to be in stock again so I can call back and set up an exchange (off-white orbs on the lower portion of my LCD). Hopefully you get your replacement soon.
yea were expecting shipments to go through on the 25th we have a major backorder on that phone
I'm having some pains as well. I placed my order on the 13th, and was told I would probably have it in hand on monday the 17th. When it hadn't arrived by the 19th, I called to sort it out. Turns out the internal sprint ordering process is a two step process, and the dude helping me didn't confirm the second part, so while there was an order, the phone technically hadn't been ordered yet. So after assuring them I did in fact want them to push the order through, they completed the order, telling me it would arrive this last Saturday.
The next day I called back because I had a bad feeling they miight have changed the price I had agreed upon with the first guy. I only then found out that the unit was on back order, and I wouldn't receive it until this Friday.
I have doubts it will be here. This has all been frustrating. I hope it's worth it.
Sorry you're having trouble. I ordered mine a little after midnight on Nov. 2 (when they first made it available online) and got it 3 days later. I was a little nervous being an early adopter before all the reviewers had a chance to review it but I figured if I didn't get it then and waited I'd have to deal with depleted inventory issues and I needed a new phone right away.
ordered one on the 17th and one on the 18th. Was supposed to get one of them on the 19th. No luck. Still on back order. They are telling me the first week of Dec. I already sold my mogul and now stuck using a samsung A900. URGH!
www.newegg.com has the Sprint TP for $199 (after $100 MIR and 2 yr contract sign up), I plan on dealing with them very soon. Anyone order from there and experience wait times? It looks like a pretty good deal, and hopefully there will be a 20% off savings when dealing with paypal on cyber monday (if rumors hold true).
I just canceled my VZW plan, I think I'm making the right move.

status on BB shipping?

That sucks man why didn't you just go to bestbuy and preorder they have them in bestbuy now just go there and buy it
Yeah, my store sold 5 of our 18 yesterday. You should be able to just walk in and buy one.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I just got an email "Problem with order" from bestbuy, its all fixed. For some reason all they wanted was to confirm my shipping account since it was different than the billing address. So I am gonna guess they are shipping out today, about time!
Mine still says "order in process of being fulfilled" from yesterday. Anxiously awaiting a shipment confirmation.

none of my bb has notes in stock . there is one bb has notes but its like 100miles away from me
dang, got my hopes up for no reason. Still no shipping confirmation Have you guys had any luck today?
Mine still says "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in null - null days," as it has for about a day. C'mon BB...
Mine shipped out via UPS Next Day Air this morning, arrived this morning, I missed the delivery, and I'll be picking it up later today. By the time I received the shipment email from BB, it had already been attempted to be delivered. Apparently it shipped out yesterday (2/20), but BB's system never updated me to let me know when to expect delivery.
I'm on the phone with Best Buy, and apparently the issue with att still isn't resolved, wth? and thats why they haven't been able to ship it. If I wouldn't have called I would have never known there was an issue.
Picked mine up a couple of hours ago from my local UPS distribution center, still getting used to the whole Android OS.
Still waiting on mine, slaps self for not picking in store pickup, or overnight , did get my 50.00 dollar bestbuy giftcard email. Should be in Friday.

[Q] Any reason to order from somewhere other than Sprint?

I'm due for an upgrade on June 1 and spoke with someone in Sprint's Telesales who said I can upgrade early on May 18 but I have to call on May 18 to order and can't preorder before that. Fair enough. Since I won't be preordering, is there any better deal out there than just ordering straight through Sprint? Wirefly seems to be a lost cause at this point (newer preorders are showing multiple weeks behind) and Best Buy's free $50 gift card is only available for preorders according to their online chat. Amazon is showing backordered and might not have any discount over Sprint once preorders end (or if they do, they'll probably be a few weeks backordered)
Any thoughts? I'm inclined to just bite the bullet, order through Sprint Telesales at 12:01 AM on the 18th and probably get it delivered by Monday or Tuesday. The $199 + activation + shipping + tax will probably work out to $250 or so... Since I work all day on Friday, I might be able to pick up one in a store on Saturday but it's pretty likely the stores won't actually have any in stock (just like for 3 months after the OG EVO launch), so getting one shipped from Sprint seems to be the best option (aside from being patient and waiting a few weeks for a better deal to crop up!). What do y'all think?
I pre-ordered mine through BB last friday and the sales person said I was only 1 out of 12 that pre-ordered the phone so far. I doubt the phone will be sold out atleast not where I live. Especially being sold out at Sprint, seems like Sprint is the last place people are going to get the phone.
OK, good to know. I just remember my endless saga 2 years ago (two months after the OG EVO was released) of calling every Sprint store within 10 miles (and I live in NYC so that's a lot of stores!) and how every single one was sold out and only got a handful of new phones per week. Maybe Sprint has fixed their distribution system since then. I don't think I'd be saving anything by going with Best Buy though without a preorder...
If you get it from WF you'll get a better price...
EDIT: Just re-read the OP, sorry.. Yeah they're way behind.
$50 cheaper through amazon and also doesn't have an activation fee(we'll see).

How AT&T Dropped the ball on the 920 release

Seriously, I have been a loyal AT&T customer for OVER 10 years, with 5 phone lines and 1 data only line (paying almost $400/mo) and this time, I almost told then to "GO F*** OFF!!"
Back story: First, the news that the 920 was releasing was released in September. In October, we found out that AT&T was able to get an exclusive for 6 months on the device. We also had the WP8 release event from Microsoft. November, AT&T FINALLY releases pricing for the 920 and a release date. No news on Pre-Order availability until it was a few days from release date.
Now, AT&T did such a HORRIBLE job on educating their own customer service reps, that I almost just gave up.
1. I tried to pre-order online, but since I have a corporate discount on my account, I had to go through their Enterprise Portal and pre-order was blanked out so I could no do it.
2. I thought I would be sly and order it by phone. Everything went well until the rep told me it was $199.99... I choked and told her "No Thanks"!
3. I went into the store when it opened (Wed Nov 7). Rep there didn't even know pre-orders were being accepted but after much assuring by me and looking in her computer, she started my order. After finishing she GUARANTEED me it would arrive by Friday, that is what the computer was telling her.
Friday comes and my phone is still in "Processing" state. I called to get an update and I was told it was being processed and would ship soon. In other words, she had no freaking clue.
I bash AT&T on FB and get a text from a rep from my store asking me what's up. We text for a while and come to find out that it may take a week or more for my phone to ship. The original rep should have told me that, but no, set my expectations really high to get smashed.
After looking over my order some more, he finds out that my free charging pad was not added to my order, so now I have to go BACK and get that fixed.
To make it worse, the availability of the phone in AT&T stores has been lackluster at best. I'm talking most only are getting 3 devices in Black, Red and/or White for sale. All other colors have to be ordered.
Oh, they are not even letting people in line waiting to get one know that they are out of stock, instead, they are letting them stay there waiting for an hour+ at a time to tell them they have none, but then try to sell them on a S3, Note 2 or an iPhone 5.
So, where did AT&T drop the ball? Hell, if you read up and also what others around the country have been saying, they pretty much dropped it everywhere they could, and even in some placed you didn't think they could!
I'm going to wait out for my Yellow 920. I am going to get over all this eventually, but all I can tell you know is, if I ever go to pre-order a phone from AT&T and am told it will arrive on launch date, it will be in writing and someone will pay for it if it falls through.
If you plan to go to a store and wait in a "line" for this phone, just go up and ask over someone shoulder to see if they even have one.
Agreed. I preordered my red 920 on the 7th, was guaranteed that it would arrive by the 9th. Now being told it won't even ship for another "week or two". Being told that it was first come first serve, but I know people who preordered on the 8th received their phones on the 9th as promised. Very annoyed by all of this, honestly.
I learned a long time ago not to preorder from AT&T except in store. I have yet to in the stores on morning/mid day or even early afternoon of a release day device and not be able to get one. Now I live in Maine so obviously that is a lot easier than if you live in a big city or what not.
2 Stores near me got plenty of Note II's, 8X's and 920's. The one I chose to go to had the 10 black 920s, 10 white, and 5 red. No Yellow or Cyan.
The last time I preordered online I got my phone about a week after release, even though the devices were in stock at the store.
I preordered both the iPhone 3gs and 4 in store and they were both there release morning.
in store...

I preordered in store early Wednesday and am still waiting, so this is no sure fix. I also am not getting the charger and will have to return to the store to argue about it. I did have the option of shipping the phone to the store, which considering the store had it in stock on Friday would have been a better idea this time since even if my phone wasn't there I would have just taken one of the ones they had. As preordered Lumia 900s that were shipped directly arrived before the models in store, how would you have guessed? Certainly AT&T botched this release in the US.
Damn unfortunate . I ordered a 920 Cyan thru Att premier on Nov 8 and got it today Nov 10. They shipped it overnight instead of 2 day :good:

The bigger question is why in the name off all things good and holy are you paying AT&T so much money? Switch to Straight Talk and pay half of that for four lines, and that includes all-you-can-eat minutes/text/data?
I'm confused, why are you paying so much??
My family plan with 5 lines and 4 out of the 5 have 3GB data and we're only paying $250 a month.
AT&T stores are having issues with the amount of L920 they are getting in stores. The store I went to only had 1 nokia in stock which was in black. Couple other stores in the area had maybe 2-3 in stock. Maybe none.
I avoided the whole pre-order nonsense and
took a chance that I would get the phone by getting in line at the store Friday morning. I have pre-ordered before and had a similar experience and will never do it again. All in all, I was able to get the phone Friday after waiting in line outside the store for 30 mins. and once I got inside the store, about an hour.

You guys had lines for the Nokia? That's weird, I've seen videos of people waiting in line and there's about 5-10 other people but I never seen any type of line at my AT&T store.
I went on launch day.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yep

I got there at 8:30 and attached is a picture of the line at that time. This AT&T is across the road from Dell here in Austin so maybe that would explain it.

I have a similar story, but mine was worked out so I actually received my phone today via FedEx and I will never order another device where they have to deliver it. I went online after mid-night to try and order the device, but everything it kept trying to charge me an extra $150 for the charging plate and the $100 which was to drop the phone to $99. So I called ATT and the first rep couldn't tell what was going on and chalked it up to me being a corporate account user. So I had to call back the next day and waste another hour on the phone with a corporate rep who finally told me to just order it and they would credit it back after the fact - what part of stupid, do I look? So I wasted an hour on phone before work and called back at Lunch to find out that I had a code which showed my service plan wasn't compatible with the offer, and that they needed to update it. So I wait for a supervisor, explain my situation for the third or fourth time and get cut off before she can correct the freaking problem. I finally call back and speak to gentlemen by the name of Jose, who walks me to through, count them, 4 transfers before we get back into the corporate account section and a darling young lady sets the code correctly to reflect a current voice and data plan compatible with the offer and I immediately am able to order the phone on their website. This is the afternoon of the 7th of November. They process my order, it gets sent out to FedEx and of course, two day deliver doesn't mean a hill of beans to them. I see a status that it was picked up the morning of 8 November and estimated for delivery on 12 November. So I go through the entire weekend without a new toy to play with; but no biggie, I got the phone and charging plate after being told by ATT that the plate was on backorder. SO I AM NOW HAPPY. If I could only get my wireless hotspot, all would be golden.

I pay more because I am on an Enterprise Unlimited Data Plan (means no throttling, EVER) with all 5 lines and a few of the devices have insurance.
Strait Talk is out of the question because of the plan stipulations and level of service I would lose with those plans over the Enterprise service.
As for an update. Nope, still no phone and still no word on when it will ship.
Latest update other than it not shipping:
Ok, when I pre-ordered, I ordered the phone and a charging STAND. What ended up happening is, they placed the order for my PHONE and a charging PAD (after corporate discount, it was $25). When I questioned why my FREE pad was not on my order, come to find out they ordered the phone and I PAID for the free pad. So they fixed that, then I placed the order for my stand and it was $37 after corporate discount..
I hate AT&T!

Pre order thread

Mine was ordered on 2-29 and a rep today has told me that it will take 3 business days.
Anyone else have anything different?
I got an email mine will be here tomorrow.
I ordered mine at 8am on Feb. 23. My status online says "Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7."
Ordered 2/23.
"Your order for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has been received. Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience."
The status online has changed 3 times for me. From shipping monday, then this week in 2-5 days. Now it says shipping the week of the 7th.
Obviously sprint can't figure out what they are doing. But what's new.
I have it on my hand atm. Good phone so far. Battery dropped quick when i first got out bit removed bloat and now it's about better.
Ok So I pre ordered the Galaxy S7 on the 23rd at a retail store. I called up sprint today to get a status check on my order. the order number i gave him from my receipt did not work, so i told him to look at my account he saw that i had pre ordered the phone, he let me know that since all pre orders come with gearVR my phone will be shipped on the 11th of March along with the gearVR to a sprint store. he said i should get a tracking number right before its going to get shipped
The rep I talked to on the 29th said the phones were getting shipped to them from ***** on the 4th and they would ship the 7th. FWIW. She also said the Gear VR was in stock and would ship the 29th LOL.
Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk
ordered mine 3 days ago got it today S7 edge gold
Ordered mine on the 29th got it last night. Silver edge, Gear VR is on back order and ships by the 7th it says.
For everyone that got there phones already did you receive a email with tracking information or did it just show up ?
Ordered Mine from Verizon getting it NEVER! Lol probably next week....I hope.
Just chatted with a rep online. He says that they are back-ordered, but they'll be getting more in over the weekend and have them out next week. I sort of feel like a whiner because i'm not getting my phone earlier than I expected it. This process is making me act like a child. HAHA. If my order doesn't come early next week I'm going to throw an all-out man tantrum.
Information: for some reason sprint thinks that it's expectable to send out the phones that were purchased on 2/29 and 3/1 immediately , however who ever placed it on the 23rd we have to wait ! How does that make any since in hell??? I don't get it why are we the ones that are "backordered" ? We ordered nearly a week before them it's not fair that they are getting them , I complained and I suggest you do as well and let them know people are receiving it I received 30$ bill credit and a 30$ assessory because they agreeded and couldn't explain why mine wasn't sent even the person from the shipping department was confused !
They only give me a 15 dollar credit I order on the 24 and my bro order on 2/29 and has his phone I was piss I call everyday and everyday every sprint rep said something different smh

Keep complaining over live chat and over the phone i was pissed too i don't get it ! Why does someone who ordered after mine is the one who gets it ??? it makes no sense to me, and even the order specialist (shipping department) didnt even understand. My assumptions is that sprint originally gave us the 3/7 deadline but if you noticed on 2/29 and 3/1 the statuses changed and the people who placed orders on those two days originally received a shorter shipping period . So to avoid any problems they just shipped it due to whatever your original shipping said to avoid any problems and we are the ones that got backordered.

I still don't understand, but hey it's whatever enjoy your phone :crying: :foreveralone:
Got mine today s7 edge silver.
Ordered on the first..
I ordered on the 25th, same status changes on the order page as you guys, no shipping info yet. Regular s7. Seems like edge orders have shipped first, I think I will hop on chat later and complain a little and try to get some clarification.
