General UK Pre Orders - Galaxy S23 Ultra

[relax24]

I'm actually in no rush. Already got my swift backup files and 118gb worth of media transferred to my pc ready to go... But I need root first.

Think we will see a lot of movement tomorrow afternoon.

hmm i ordered the 512gb in graphite on the 3rd and my earliest delivery date i could select was the 17th Order says preparing for despatch

That 17th date is totally Bogus. It just something the Samsung website throws out there. No basis in fact or reality. Here is an example. The past 3 phones I have pre-ordered from the Samsung website arrived 3-4 days before they were available in stores even though the date said the day the stores got them. I am in the U.S. and mine says the same thing. Feb 17th. But after logging on to the FedEx website it already shows that Fedex has been notified by the shipping manager and the expected delivery date is Monday Feb 13th. So don't pay any attention to Samsung's Guesstimate BS Estimates. Logon to the Carrier in your country if they have a website and look for any info there. That is going to be way more accurate than anything Sammy is telling you.

I've ordered the Phantom Black 12GB/512GB which currently says it's arriving tomorrow.

I'm trading in my Phantom Black 12GB/512GB S22U (Hong Kong region S9080, SnapDragon) and provided my IMEI, which has been accepted, for a £620 trade-in value leaving £629 to pay.

Little worried about 2 things:
1. The trade-in T's & C's specifically mention the trade-in to be EU specification and the selection is for an S908B, yet my IMEI was correctly identified and accepted. (I previously traded in a gold Taiwan region Note8 for a Note9 directly from Samsung UK and had no issues mind.)
2. Wondering how much of an upgrade S23U will actually be over a SnapDragon S22U (which I've only had for 10 months and had 0 issues with) - 1st world problems, I know!

Anyone know when EE should start sending phones?

No one knows for sure.

We should start to see shipments today so hopefully this thread will give a good indication.

Lots of phones in the EU already delivered today so hoping Samsung has relaxed the Official launch date now (17th).

No rush for me, I was just curious how the hell so many people got the phones already ^^

Cancelled my delivery 13th order, reordered Saturday as it stated delivered 7th. Still showing 7th and tracking number live pre 10:30am

Black 512GB still showing 7th online now.

Package weight 0.6kg so should be the phone and cheap case.

 

[Guitarfreak26]

Damn i should have gone for a standard colour!

It's only a week, in a months time you'll forget the pain of the extra wait.

I've had several colours and gone back to black. Hoping this is my first two year phone. Upgraded every year since S7 edge

Mine still says preparing for dispatch since yesterday. I ordered the Black 512GB version on the same day it was announced with delivery date of the 13th. I have a Track button for the phone and the case but nothing yet.

 

[Euphorbia]

Still showing preparing for shipment (both case and phone) but case has a delivery date of tomorrow. Phone still says 14th but I believe it will be sooner (hoping tomorrow). Lavendar 512GB.

I just cancelled my day-1 preorder due to arrive on 13th for a normal order which is due to arrive tomorrow.
Also used a referal code to knock 10% off the price as well

 

[Barmenchik]

I talked with UK support, asked why I have delivery on the 13th, and if you order today, delivery is available for tomorrow !! They do not know anything, they say that what date is indicated in the order, we will bring it that day !! No comments!

The option to cancel has disappeared for me. Hoping this means it's too far along in the dispatch process!

How stupid if that's the case. I picked the 14th because it was the earliest option when I ordered on the night of Unpacked. There should be an ASAP option if they refuse to deliver mine earlier because I "picked" 14th.

I had a discount + discount with Trade-in of £300 and another 4.5% cashback. So I'll leave it as it is, I'm afraid that it will not be possible to enter the same IMEI for Trade-in if I cancel the order. Let's wait and hope.
