Hi all, it seems like people are starting to receive their buds- I had a text and email from Samsung on the 12th March advising that my claim had been validated. However, still no buds (I know it says 30 days)- infuriatingly though when you go into 'track my claim' it does not give a tracking number for the courier- which would put my mind at ease. I figure they are shipping direct from China. Are there any mods who are able to advise how, if at all, to obtain the tracking number?
If so, please do advise and I'll PM you my number/ email address.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
Thanks!

Exactly! Since its Sunday I'm reminded of that old hymn ,'30 days and 30 nights, I have waited patiently, but now that patience has gone for good, where o where are my ******* buds'
32 days now and status still says 'Validated'. To those who say the buds are free, they are NOT. They formed part of a promotional offer to get people to buy their phone at full price, and the t&c's definitely stated 'within 30 days'.
It certainly influenced my decision to buy early. However, my S10+ does seem to be flawless, without any problems so far. The battery life is incredible.

It sucks! I was so pissed when Samsung told me they have 6 to 8 weeks til i receive an email with the shipping info I legit was gonna return my S10+! U pay $1000 for the phone in hopes to get the earbuds too pretty quick! I was one of the 1st person in the States to pick it up on March 8th for the release! I could have f***** waited a weeks and just bought the f***** phone second hand and also bought the buds from someone who actually received them early and didnt want em and still paid less! F***** insane and stupid! Worst experience ever!

Ok, so I was validated on 15.03 at 6 am. Wich means that 30 days is today.
Contacted them this morning, this is the answer:

Day 30 for me today, so sent an email this morning and received the following template. Although it says nothing of great importance - it does give some time frame at least. Rather annoying as I'm travelling Friday... Fingers crossed.
