General Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 Pre-Order Status Thread

[Flame Red]

Question for others that returned to Samsung a used phone as a trade-in.

I got mine just now. Nothing in the box about returning the trade-in phones. I was expecting a box, or envelop, or at least a shipping label. So how does the return of a trade-in work?

Email. Welcome to the trade in program.

They'll send you a separate email with the info to send in your trade-in phone. The trade-in info doesn't arrive with the item itself.

Just received mine and set it up. I love this phone and thats coming from an iphone... The one thing i wasn't expecting was how narrow the front screen is but I like it

I wish I'd never used the fold 2 without the screen protector. there is no way I can use this fold 3 with it on. took it off in the first hour.

FYI, I took mine off as well. I wasn't going to get the 3 (pretty tiny upgrade) but I was really cleaning the screen, and there are some small streaks going up the fold of the screen. This just happened a few weeks ago. Once you take in the trade in value, and the $150 I might have to pay to replace the screen, I think I'm just going to go ahead and upgrade. But I can tell you those streaks are definitely not damage, they're clearly as result of the folding. I wonder if the screen protector would have helped with that?

You can't see the streaks when the phone is on, but I'm obsessive about screens. I suspect most people who pay this kind of money are.

I got my trade-in Watch label, but not the trade-in phone labels... I talked to customer support last night they said it might take 24hrs... its been 24hrs...

So yesterday my order (Unlocked Z Fold3, 256GB, Green, placed on 8/15 with Samsung) changed from estimated delivery of 8/30 to estimated delivery of 9/23. Samsung chat rep yesterday said to ignore it and it was still slated for 8/30 delivery. After not seeing any signs of life from Samsung or FedEx today, I reached out again and now am being told it won't be delivered until 9/23 due to 'high demand impacting my order'.

Nothing like ordering 4 days after the pre-orders become available and yet made to wait almost a month after the device is released. This is absolutely ridiculous. Thinking about canceling my order and pre-ordering the 512GB in black. Should at least get here sooner than a month and I can take advantage of all the new promo codes.

Yeah, sometimes it takes a few days. It will come, the phone isn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow but it will pop up.

Right, lol. Hope yours gets there asap.

Thanks, it got delivered a couple of hours ago. Did require a signature, luckily my wife was home. Now I'm just waiting for 6pm to get here so I can go home and get it activated.

I got mine just now. i am waiting for the email with the link to print the self addressed information for the trade-in.
Thank you team.

Nice! 6pm cannot come fast enough, I'm sure! Have fun

Well no such luck on the Z Fold3 being included with today's shipment - only the Watch 4 Classic got delivered today. Really hope the initial date of an 8/30 delivery holds and I don't end up having to wait till 9/23 like my order page says now.

Ugh. That stinks... Have you searched via FedEx for an update? The Shop Samsung app is painfully slow to update...

TBH with you I don't care about color, so if I were in your shoes I'd just suck that up and order the 512 Black... If color is that important just wait, you know where you re getting. But it is crappy they told you to ignore ship date only then to be told it's true... Makes it harder to make a decision

Hopefuky here soon...

Ordered it on 8/21 from T-Mobile and it sounds like it's not coming anytime soon sadly. The delivery date is still 9/18- 10/8.

Received my fold 3 yesterday, 2 days early. It's very nice of course. Still trying to decide if I want to keep my Note 20 Ultra or switch. Lots to like but not sure if it's enough to make me keep the Fold 3... Decisions...

Yeah, I came from iPhone and I like my iPhone but the fold 3 is so much better for me. It's just a big learning curve, but I like it overall
