General UK Pre Orders - Galaxy S23 Ultra - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

So who has Pre-Ordered one?
I have ordered the 512Gb Ultra in Red.
Hopefully I have it in my hands on Monday 13th February. Pre 10:30am DPD.
Really looking forward to having a Snapdragon in a 'Note' finally.
So what you getting?

Yes, green from 3 arriving by the 13th also

Yep - 13th and ordered the Grey 512GB
Also ordered their screen protector since they're about similar price to 3rd party
Ordered a Ptaka Aramid case too so the colour is kinda irrelevent -- i like the aramid cases

Green and due on 13th. Cancel order button now gone but still processing. Hope its not the same as last year when my date past and kept moving. Ended up cancelling from samsung and got one from elswhere next dsy

Got the s23+ 512gb
Used a referral code to get 10% off to bring it down to £944 and then some weird hack of adding a £34 USB flash drive brought the price down instead of up. Ended up coming to £850. Also went via topcashback and an extra £43 quid has tracked. All in all £807. Not bad!

Phantom Black Ultra, 512gb, £410 trade in for my S21 Ultra and £150 discount for another reason i'm not sure of also £42 via topcashback, so total cost of device £797, Not too shabby for the Ultra delivery on 13th hopefully. Edit: £15 topcashback bonus as first purchase over 15 quid, so device total is now £782

The guy on the phone at EE said I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Is this true or was he just giving the usual spiel?

Could be true, i would think if they have already taken delivery of stock, no point them holding them taking up space.

The £150 was to give us the 512GB for the same price as the 256GB variant.

I went for the Watch 5 Pro as the 10% additional discount, refferal code and £100 trade in for any smart watch in any condition made for massive savings

No idea what is going on with delivery dates.... Just looked on Samsung website and added a pre order phantom black ultra and it states delivery 7th feb?

Anyone can DM me a referral code? Wanna buy my other half a watch but i missed the pop-up when i ordered

Can't help you i'm afraid, i wasn't logged in to my samsung account when i placed my order

Ordered 2/02/2023, Green 512GB. Status doesn't change...

Any one noticed that prices droped ? I bought mine s23u on 1st feb at 8pm and price for s23u 1tb was 1599f and today i see price for the same phone is 1399f They sent to me an email that if i find same phone cheaper, they will refound me difference. Sami have such special website samsung.com.uk price-promise but when i try to claim my purchase there is form to fill and no such phone in drop menu so i can't go next step. Strange.

Annoying how I ordered yday and the earliest delivery was 13th Feb. Now it says 7th Feb if you were to place an order now.

Those shipping dates are almost always BS. They are estimates and you will usually get your phone before those estimates. But if you cancel thinking your gonna get it earlier your just going to the back of the line and then all bets are off.

Out of interest, I added the flash drive to get a further discount. What happens if you try to return just the flash drive? Do you have to pay them money lol?

Yes, they've dropped price for 1tb model to £200 from £100. Not sure if also added %10 off total order price if additional, whatever, item purchased

Ordered a 1TB Graphite. Mine said delivery from 10th but some are saying 7th now. Order still says processing and cancel button still there

[Q] AT&T Pre-order folks...any shipping confirmation yet?

Anxiously waiting for mine to change from processing to shipped. Premier Chat Agent said it will be shipped today and delivered tomorrow, but I am getting skeptical.
Anyone's order changed to shipped yet? If so, what time did you place your preorder?
I placed mine order for a Cyan + black charging plate yesterday at 7:50 am Central time.

I heard from 1 person in Seattle, claiming he received his late last night. I recall from the 900 ship, my device was half way here before I received a shipping notification.
I've never had any shipping issues with AT&T. For me, when they say it will be there....its always been.
Mine says the 9th....I'm pretty much satisfied that it will be.

That has been my experience in the past when I have ordered phones direct from ATT, but in the past 3 years or so, I have bought mine from Amazon, Dell, or in the stores. Glad to hear this hasn't changed!

Damn the anticipation. Got my list of apps to install all ready.
This will replace my iPhone 4 as my personal device and my iPhone 4 will get relegated to work phone duty...
Ordered and shipped. Should arrive on Friday via FedEx.
Black Lumia 920 with charging pad. Charging pad is coming separately though, should arrive on Monday.
Placed my order around 11:30 PM CST on 11/6.
Still playing the waiting game...and since order is being prepped for shipment (on an unknown date), their system cannot cancel the order to allow me to just get one at a store.

Same boat as you....i hate dealing with the online and or phone folks....the only reason i didn't just go pick one up from store is because i talked them into giving me an early upgrade on the phone through the 1800 number

my order got cancelled this morning for no apparent reason, so i went to the at&t store by my work place. there's a line, but most people are there for the note 2, and only a hand full are for lumia 920. grabbed my new lumia 920 in less than 10 minutes, although they do not have wireless charging pad in stock
I guess I have no choice but to wait if I want Cyan since it is online only....still no shipping confirmation.

Did you get a raincheck for the charging pad or is the promotion over?
finally got shipping confirmation for Tuesday delivery.
Ordered the red at 4PM EST on the 7th, and I'm still showing as processing. Called AT&T and they told me it's "at least" a 7 day backorder. Wonderful...
Still showing processing for me too. Cyan. Gets updated every day but always processing.
Called a store and they said they can order it for me but they don't have any. Is this the case everywhere?
Nokia L920 Cyan
Date ordered 11/8/2012 @ 7pm Backordered half a day then pending
Shipped 11/9/2012 with Track # from Memphis TN > Los Angeles
Estimated Delivery Fedex 11/10/2012 :fingers-crossed:
Phone arrived today, almost at the end of the window that FedEx estimated it'd be delivered.
Phone is awesome. No charging pad included (but a separate one is on the way to be delivered Monday).
Various SIM
First thing Wednesday I went to the local AT&T store and ordered the black 920 to be shipped to my home, The salesperson was familiar with but unsure if I was getting the charging base offer. Thursday I received a USPS shipping confirmation for the phone item 6027A as well as one for a "Various SIM" item 72290. Friday morning the phone was in the store and the shipping confirmation showed Memphis USPS departure that day, Friday.
I assume that I am not getting the charging pad as others have said it shipped separately and it is not on the shipment notification. Item 72290 is an actual micro SIM SKU.
My previous 900 came via FedEx on a Saturday before the phone was in store Monday.
Nokia 920 Red
Ordered 11/7 on Line
Status: Processing
As on today(11/11) it still sits in processing.
Contacted AT&T and they told me its backordered, it will ship when it ships.
This is a gift for my wife. I have already picked up a White one.
No option to Cancel online. No option to cancel via phone. NO option stop it.

UK release date confirmed

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.

I phoned Clove earlier & asked about the chances of a Saturday delivery. The guy told me if I'd chosen Royal Mail as the delivery method it would be quite likely. If I'd chosen another courier it would almost definitely be a Monday delivery. I changed it over to royal mail on the phone

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.
When I spoke to the guy on the phone the other day he assured me I would receive the smartwatch etc & that mine would be from the first batch as I was one of the first orders (August 9th)

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

Its the same deal as clove with the free SW2 SmartWatch & SBH20 Bluetooth Headset. Altogether it cost me £543.05 You can get it one 3 months interest free credit but I'll just pay it off when the bill arrives.
You guys are paying stupid money, Clove and Very are a pure rip off, You people are just wasting £100+ to get it 24 hours early....

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....

Huawei.com waiting room.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of us on here but I can't keep up with the google orders getting shipping confimations and pending. I ordered 64 gb aluminum on October 14th. Early November expected. Since first batches were said to ship when Google does.
States that don't charge tax:
Missouri
Louisiana
Connecticut
Wisconsin
Arizona
Pennsylvania
North Carolina
states that do charge tax:
California
Michigan

I ordered on 9/30 32gb graphite. When I ordered it said shipping late October. Though both times I live chatted with reps I got different answers. One said they were shipping the same time as Google, and the other said first week of November. I'm combining the two answers and going with any day now lol
Ordered 10/15 (a bit late to the party). 64GB Graphite. "Early November" ship date. I am dying waiting. I also need to pick up a case and screen protector...
I ordered 32gb aluminium on the 29th. Hoping I get some shipping info by Monday. I should be in first batch that goes out when Google starts shipping...which seems to be now

I orders 64GB graphite on 10/19. No shipping info other than early Nov.
I ordered on Oct.1, 2015 using affirm. It has been processing every since. Went to affirm website. They want their first payment even if the phone is still processing I guess. Google was just sold out and I was glad to save on the tax. I will just pay it all out and avoid the interest if I like it and decide to keep it.
I ordered on 9/30 the 64 GB Graphite version right before I canceled my 32 GB Graphite version on Google. It still says Processing but my AMEX has already been charged.
Ordered on 9/30, 32gb aluminum. Talked to representative who said early November or might be late October. He wasn't sure.
I was told early on that they would ship at the same time as Google and have a different batch than Google's. So I assume that when people from Google orders that ordered around the same time frame as you (I ordered on 9/29), then that's when you will get a shipping email. People who have already had theirs shipped are the ones who ordered within seconds of it going live on google and most people didn't order from huawei till the 29th since we didn't even know they would sell direct. I'd estimate them to ship out sometime next week for those who ordered when it said late October.
I ordered an Aluminum 64GB on 10/19. I was very late preordering. I tried to order late night of 10/16 but they were out of 64GB, then they put some back on 10/19 but I was able to get 1 before sold out of 64GB again with in a few hours.
Even though I preordered pretty late when I did order it still said Early November. So I'm guessing mine will be shipped mid or late 1st November week. But who knows maybe myself and us in this thread will be surprised early. After all its pretty clear much less ordered from Hauwei, therefore a lot less volume of product for them to ship. Meaning takes less time. That's what I'm hoping for.
Ordered 10/18 64GB Graphite - Early November ship date.
Typically 'early' means before the 14th.
Let's hope it's before that. I read somewhere (lost track where) that they'll be shipping between the 4th and 11th.
Also there's this: https://plus.google.com/+TaylorWimberly/posts/4hasXnK3XDA
(Taylor Wimberly works at Huawei and said that they'll be shipping 'soonish')
64GB aluminum ordered on the 15th. The website says if you try to buy one now, regardless of size or color it says shipping 'late november'
32gb alum 9/30 early November

Well my case on Amazon isn't in stock until the 5th. So guessing they are going to ship the phone on the.... 2nd. And hopefully from somewhere local. I love in Missouri.
I ordered my 64GB Graphite through Huawei and I have no received no further communication. Not even an order confirmation email. I checked my spam folder and there is nothing there either. They have, however, charged my AMEX on Oct 11.
I guess I should call them?
Also. Useful info I was mad about at first. To track your order status from gethuawei.com you must be on the desktop view. Scroll all the way down to "track order" under "account"
Yeah. Call em. Pretty sure they shut their live chat down. Tried 2 days in a row and said they had high volume, try again later or leave a message.

I'm same as you, but ordered 64gb graphite on 10/20. Credit card was charged 2 days after. Web site indicated shipping early November. Still says processing. With the free shipping Huawei provides, I'm not expecting the phone until at least mid November.
I did order the Google Nexus case from the Google Store yesterday and it shipped last night lol
I order mine on the 29th using affirm I still haven't received a email on shipping date
Believe it or not, while it hasn't shipped, it let me place an order for the 64GB in Aluminum. This was at 8pm last night. The night before, the phone was out of stock on both there, & Google.

General Release date for US slips to 8/24

I just saw this when checking on B&H. Amazon also has this date. Originally it had a release date of 8/19. Hopefully it doesn't slip even more.
I would not be supprised if we dont see the phone in the US by september. If you bought direct from Sony the date says September 17th, even if you pre-ordered on the 1st.
b&h shipped my free earbuds today and my 1 iii shows a status of “order in progress”. not too sure what that means. weird to me that they are shipping separately.
I preordered mine on amazon and it says it will ship on the 24th and be here on the 26th. I hope so! I can't wait! Im still rocking an old Galaxy S5 and an S8+ and could sure use an upgrade. lol
Well, I got my Sony headphones that were available for an extra $1 with the preorder today. Havent tried them yet though. Thursday can't come fast enough.

I got my earbuds too last week. i ordered from b&h and chose 1 day shipping so my fingers are crossed for Wednesday. i have pre ordered things from amazon also in the past and a couple of times they arrived on the release day. i have prime. if you do too and they already have the phones, you might get surprised by an early shipping notification.
Yup. I have Prime.

I ordered from Sony and got my headphone the day after I ordered, was kinda caught of guard that they came so fast. So I have had the headphone but no phone for the last month.

mine shipped today from b&h. fedex shows delivery for tomorrow.
Are you kidding me!?!?! Mine was supposed to come today but never showed as shipped from Amazon and just now got an email saying there has been a delay and the new delivery date is Sep 15 - Oct 1. I want, or should I say, I NEED my phone. I dont dare cancel it and try to but it elsewhere cause they are all on back order or first come first serve thing. Ugh... Som much for my pre-order. I guess I wait.

I almost ordered from there but being a Prime member, I decided to stick with Amazon. But then Amazon canceled my order three times cause the system thought it was suspicious activity and someone gained unauterized access to my account and made this purchase and canceled my order and locked me out of my account. Tooke me about 45 minutes on the phone, the 3rd time, to get them to figure it out. I guess the first time should have been the first clue to go else where. Sucks is it would be like 2 or 3 days before it would cancel my order so in all, this went on for like 8 days before it actually went through and stuck. lol

General (CANADA) Galaxy S23 Ultra pre-order, offers etc. discussion thread.

Here we go again!
I placed an order for a S23 Ultra 512gb in "Sunset Red", traded-in my S22 Ultra!
at Samsung.ca
Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.
Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance
I got the red 1tb s23 ultra red variant with $50 off and apparently free galaxy buds 2 or some nonsense.. I have Anker noise canceling headset I bought in Tokyo at the Anker store on Black Friday.
Placed my order for the 512GB Graphite version . They gave me $487 for trading in my Note 10 (smaller regular version) and got the ear buds as well

That's not bad for a near 4 year old phone. Have a N10+ and Telus would only quote about $200 for mint condition, when even the s22U was first released.
Freedom "saves" around $647 on "trade up" and it looks like pretty much every mobile shop here rips people off for trade in value, even if you keep a 2 year upgrade cycle (Samsung appears to be much better in this regard, even for older devices).

You got hosed. Spending $1000 to more to upgrade to a minimal difference phone. Samsung probably offered you $600 lol
I also ordered the 512G version in Blue. They gave me $800 for my old Note S20 Ultra 5G.
I just cancelled my order. The $859 CDN trade-in for my S22 Ultra 1TB is way too low.
Update: Cancelled my cancellation. Irrational trumps rational once again.

Same. I was actually pretty impress with the trade in offer for a 2 plus year old phone. By the way did you try looking up your expected delivery date? Weirdly says starts shipping on 17th March. Do you reckon that's a glitch? I did order bunch of accessories for the phone. Does that have anything to do with that?
What seems to be the expected shipping date for the orders here gentlemen? I am somehow supposed to receive the phone and the accessories after 17th march. That's not what i pre-ordered for.
Mine still says shipping from Feb 8 but if you selected one of the online exclusive colors I had noticed some shipping dates were later. And I remember when I preordered my s21 ultra it shipped a few days later because they were waiting on one of the accessories.
Do a live chat with them they should be able to tell you which item is causing the delay and if it's an accessory you can most likely ask them to remove it from the order.
I saw if you ordered one of the specialty colors it said it would ship in 5-6 weeks. I didn't notice it when I ordered and I did order a specialty color.

Yeah turns out it was the exclusive color as well some accessories. I am trying to reconnect to live chat but the waiting times are hella long. Hopefully i can cancel the order and go for the cream color instead.
Thanks
The shipping dates are just approximate. Most just say February 17th because that's when you officially can buy one from a retail store. From my experience with the S20U and S22U the Unlocked models usually come 2-3 days earlier than when stores get them. Carrier Phones arrive even sooner as they get priority over Unlocked models. So take those delivery dates with a grain of salt as they are just estimates which are always later than when you actually will get them.
Here is something even weirder for this year. On the past two phones I ordered from Samsung they would bill me when I placed the order to make sure the funds were available. It would say pending and then after 2 to 3 days it would drop off my credit card and I would get the funds back and Samsung wouldn't bill me again till it shipped. Well that happened again this year and I got the funds back. But today it actually cleared pending and dates yesterday as a past and cleared purchase which I even got the 1.5% cashback on. They never give me the Cashback until the sale is actually completed So that most likely means I'll be getting a notification soon that it shipped. Could Sammy be shipping earlier this year?
So like I said take those delivery dates with a grain of salt. Some people have gotten theirs already in Europe. The custom colors are getting a limited run and not surprised to see those pushed back till March.

If you cancel your just going to the very back of the line.

Okay so i am talking to an agent right now and he recommended the same thing to not cancel the order. It might just arrive earlier than anticipated. What i am worried about is the two accessories that i ordered (screen guard and a silicon case), those two clearly has pre-order emblem on them and the agent did confirm i would get everything in a single package so little bit skeptical but lets hope for the best.
Attached screenshot of order for reference

Strangely from the point of selecting the color, to all the way to checkout, i was greeted with a shipping out date of 8th February.

Just have patience you will get it eventually. If you cancel your just going to have to wait even longer especially if they ran out of the first batch of stock which would push new order dates back to late March. Seen that happen before and peeps always regret their impatience.
