Shipping early?

[Brad2607]

It looks like S21's have started shipping early?

I got a dispatch confirmation from Samsung last night, tracking hasn't updated yet though.

Some people receiving yesterday in UK 

 This is very strange why all who do pre order not have delivery  the same day

• I believe this happened last year. Samsung send out dispatche emails to confirm that orders have been fulfilled and are ready to be shipped on the 28th. This is to guarantee that customers get their pre-orders the following day. If you can imagine it would be a logistical nightmare if every pre-order was to be prepared and dispatched on the same day! So unfortunately I wouldn't get your hopes up on receiving the new handset before Friday 29th. Good news is that your order has been prepared and ready to be shipped on the 28th.

those are reviewers units ....every year the same rush - like you've learned nothing - the phones will be shipped Thu 28th/Fri 29th the earliest

This person confirm day before she received email with shipment but she was think is some mistake because us to early ,Yesterday she added another post with confirms she received phone and pictures for confirms 

[London2tim]

don't believe everything you see online...esp around a phone launch some people would go to any length for extra attention....if she did received it and she if genuine is most likely a shipping error, however don't hold your breath everyone will receive them earlier...there are many reasons why Samsung won't do it but primarily the phone official release date is January 29th so if you get it earlier and it breaks you're not even covered as the phone is not officially out...

Hi Brad,

I have had the same notification today saying it has been dispatched and is on it's way to me.

The tracking information isn't showing anything yet though, I am hoping that I will receive early

Hi,

I also pre ordered but haven't got any emails yet. Does it say when your device will be delivered?

[Brad2607]

I haven't received a delivery date no, just shipping conf.

The order has been updated with the IMEI so they've boxed a physical unit for sure, whether or not they actually physically ship it remains to be seen I guess. The very fact my DPD tracking number still doesn't work suggests to me it probably wont ship but we'll see I guess.
