General UK Pre Orders - Galaxy S23 Ultra

[shineyads]

Argh - so frustrating! DPD are usually rock-solid round this way... so why, oh why, do they have to be late today of all days?! Lol
Tracking just says the driver is running 'a little behind' - sod's law he'll come when I'm doing the school run! He's got 1h10mins...

Mine arrived safe and sound
Doing the old smart-switch now but the phone feels very solid in-hand and no idea why but the screen feels bigger than my old phone even though it's essentially not

The edges are more squarish and the screen is flatter, so it could be that.

Very strange, the order information has been updated, the status is the same Preparing for dispatch, but a tracking number has been added and this is not DPD, but Royal Mail Special Delivery !! First time delivery no DPD!!!

Just noticed mines updated to ' Preparing for dispatch' as well, doesn't mention Royal Mail but original order stated DPD

I was going to pull the plug and re order. They must have noticed as its gone to preparing to dispatch and track your order (no number available though)

"but Royal Mail Special Delivery !! First time delivery no DPD!!!"

Just in time for a strike then

 

[Barmenchik]

The strike is not a problem, I remember they wrote that this does not affect Special Delivery. It is strange that Royal Mail, although DPD was selected in the order. Let's wait for updates...

Could someone PM a referral code for the UK by any chance? Thanks

The Youtube reviewers were given referral links, here's one of the UK ones https://howl.me/ci2Lgqyfep3

If most are on strike it will have an impact along the line

Just wondering if someone could please DM me a referral code or discount code really struggling here, thanks.

Already said the Youtube reviewers were given referral links which give you £150 Samsung credit which most have put on the video descriptions

I just got an email from DPD but I think its the leather case (also showing 13th as delivery date) due to the order number, I will keep you updated.

Mine arrived 10am

Wow its rapid

Really like the Pitaka case i got. Very slim and does add a very small amount of front protection too
Happy with the phone so far. Pretty much back up and running

I missed my DPD delivery because of parents evening but am 100% sure now it was just the case as the parcel looked tiny from doorbell footage. Why they couldn't post through the letterbox I don't know.

Phone still showing preparing for dispatch and has been since Sunday morning. Disheartening to see others get theirs who ordered after me (I ordered Feb 1st). Fingers crossed for movement tonight. Glad those who have it are enjoying them. Makes the wait worth it!

Thanks, don't know if I'm being dumb but they all seem to go to the US site

Well I found out my shipment is the case because they sent me an email afterwards letting me know the case shipped. Still no new on the phone.

Given to UK reviewers by Samsung at the event so I presume it takes you to Samsung UK when you order
