For those of you who pre-ordered and whose orders aren't out for delivery (not being delivered today), what's your story?
I pre-ordered 5/7 around 2PM central time.
My tracking number shows delivery in Lexington.
I've received no shipping email from Sprint. My order status says "in progress".
I called Sprint and they said my phone just says it's "back-ordered".
Let's cry on each others' shoulders.
Theories:
1.) Sprint didn't keep enough stock on-hand to fulfill all pre-orders.
2.) Warehouse workers collapsed from exhaustion yesterday evening and not all phones were shipped out together. They'll ship today and we'll have them tomorrow.
3.) God hates us.
Edit: Yay ISN!

for those that show a status of delivered but don't have your device...
99.999% of the time this will actually update will all the info once it's actually scanned for the actual delivery.
However.... *if* you're in that .001% for which this isn't the case.. and your status hasn't updated by 4 or 5 today, send me a message, as we have an internal process setup as of today to handle these 'super expedited' and to bypass the 'backorder' status that you'll get if you go through a regular process to have it corrected/resent. Remember, this is for those rare scenarios only, please, I don't want to send 50 people to process, LOL... but i do expect a couple *may* need it.
so give it some hours.. but if you need it, there is an expedited process in place to handle these issues and still get you a device asap.

I got that email the first day of the pre-orders, because they needed to get some more information from me in order to port my number over from T-Mobile. For the duration of the pre-sale I had no order status and Gordon Ramsays method to see order details showed my phone as back ordered. I got various answers from Sprint's CSRs, but most indicated that my order was processing normally (I was pretty worried that something was screwed up with my order since I know better than to trust those guys). I got the MY UPS notification yesterday, and my order status finally updated with a tracking number and changed from back order to "in progress." Phone was delivered about an hour ago.
Just got off the phone with UPS, they said even though the website did now show my package was out for delivery, she confirmed it was placed on the truck this morning and is indeed out for delivery!!!! Going outside to wait now! LOL

LLLLIIIIEEEESSS! UPS just told me they lied to me earliar, and my package will indeed not be delivered today, its just sitting in the warehouse chilling.....
Ouch
Sorry
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
i ordered mine the 15th, just an hour before they shut off the pre-order part and got mine today at 350pm
I got that also, I even had an e-mail at one point from the "My UPS" thing showing that it would arrive between 3:30 and 7 today, but it then showed it as delivered to Kentucky yesterday (it had my address to begin with)
same thing for me too. nothing on my end either. they changed my info too.
The worst part of all though is that I have no idea what is going on. Even people who ordered from best buy are getting their phones first and here we are without any idea what is going on. If I at least knew if it was coming tomorrow I can plan for it (I don't want it sitting on the porch all day for someone to walk off with), but as it is, I don't know what to do!
I think the effects of the customs thing is still screwing things up. Sprint believed they had enough phones to meet initial pre-order demand but they don't. Best buy stores aren't getting enough for their pre-orders. Wirefly and amazon, who knows?
We still haven't heard anything about a national launch date probably because they don't have enough stock to give corporate stores and partners. Customs is clearing shipments probably by the pallet and that's how slowly Sprint is receiving them.
We could see another gap of a week or two if customs is the hold-up again.

I have ordered a T-Mobile upgrade thru BuyMobilePhones.net. Having never heard of the company before I was a little cautious. They do however have one of the best deals I've found for my situation:
600 mins
500 texts
500mb internet
18 months
£30 a month
19.99 for the phone
The closest mobiles.co.uk have got is £35/m and £50 for the phone. And as its an upgrade I don't have to fanny about changing my number over which is a Brucey bonus.
..........
I rang on bank holiday Monday and spoke to a bloke who basically said he cant do anything today as its a BH and he would be on the phone to T-Mobile for too long and he took my details and would call back Tuesday. 'Hmmmmm' I thought, and agreed.
I got a bit antsy in my pantsy so rang back an hour later. I spoke to another bloke who took my details and said he'd ring back in ten mins after speaking to T-Mobile, he took the telephone password for my account (the one you tell the operator when you ring up), I was a bit apprehensive but gave it too him anyway (I have changed it now). He rang back after about 20 mins and said its gone through and I should expect delivery on Wednesday. I said goodbye but was still suspicions.
I then rang T-Mobile an hour later and asked if there had been any changes to my account. They told me a dealer rang up questioning an upgrade to a Motorola Milestone but nothing had been put through. I rang back BMP.net but they had all gone home.
So I rang them today(Tuesday) and spoke to the same bloke and he said they have to put it through as a milestone to get the best deal. 'Fair play', I thought, but the big question is will I still get it tomorrow (Wednesday). He told me that he thought there would be enough stock in for my order but there may not be and I may actually get it Thursday.
I have just rang up T-Mobile (Tuesday 18:20) to ask if any upgrades had been put through on my account and they said 'No'. I will call BMP.net a call tomorrow (Wednesday) at 09:00 to chase it up again.
..........
The best number to call is 01773 522308.
Anyone else dealt with them before?
I've had a the same order as yourself, but it's been stuck on the processing stage since yesterday morning when I click on order status.
How long did yours take to process?
As mines an upgrade I don't get access to that part of the site
No worries, not sure processing should take this long. I have emailed them this morning regarding the issue but still no reply.
Give the above number a call 0900-1730
Will do, tomorrow, cheers
Let us know how you get on
I had a 'mare with Buy Mobile Phones a while back. Ordered a new phone, they dicked me about, finally sent it, when it arrived the box was open, so I sent it back and they told me they wouldn't accept it because the phone was 'used'.
I had to scream, shout and threaten them with the office of fair trade before they'd even concede that it was them that opened it (or someone previously); and even then they gave me the old 'as an act of good faith' line. They are, without doubt, the murkiest phone shop I've ever used.
I wouldn't trust them any further than I could push them with my piss.
Hi there,
I ordered with buymobilephones.net and my order was dispatched yesterday and is out with City link for delivery tomorrow - so they are definitely legit.
Many thanks
The confirmation email says delivery, sadly the tracking number isnt tracking. Will phone cancel tomorrow if no delivery.

Got the same deal as thread starter, got tracking info via email from BMF. Should be with me tomorrow.
Any problems I have had to date had been delt with swiftly!
Did anybody have a slow order processing, mines been nearly 2 days.
I also ordered the same deal as the first poster and I have a tracking number for City Link that is giving Wednesday as the delivery day with it currently underway to the delivery depot.
I ordered it 'new' despite being eligable for an upgrade with t-mobile. A new number for the specified deal appeared on my existing account ( a couple of my kids also have t-mobile contracts on my account) on Saturday along with the dispatch e-mail.
Therefore all looks OK.

I ordered on 11th of April and my order was 'processing' until Saturday.
This was a new order.
Status is now that it is on the delivery van. Unfortunately I won't be there to receive it today and touch and go whether there will be anybody at home at all, so may have to wait an extra day.
Just had an email response to say that they have a massive backlog of orders for the galaxy s 2 and that is the reason for the delay in processing my order.
Found these notes from the premier team (one is the same member who posted the link last night, the other made an official comment earlier in the week):
Hi, this is Deb from Premier Team. So here's what I've found regarding ordering/shipping/receipt of devices when ordered online:
- We always use Overnight Shipping for devices purchased online.
- In general, devices purchased before 4 p.m. EASTERN meet the deadline for shipping same night for next day receipt.
- There is a risk that if the volume of orders is exceedingly high for the day, the order may not process that same day. Once it does process, the device ships overnight.
I, personally, have not heard of any order processing delays happening with any of our previous online Premier First to Buys. However, if online demand exceeds daily order processing capacity, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the potential delay.
The good news is that no one else besides Premier can order online until after the phone is launched to the public. I wish I could guarantee all orders will be processed same day, but I don't know what to expect regarding demand.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
deb

Bucks, not to contradict our Care rep, but I don't think they can see that info for sure from where they sit. They have access to the same info you and I do looking at the order screens. So I think they were interpreting the 2-5 day window and setting the lowest expectation with you, which results in the 6/24 date. I don't know if they will ship today or not, but I'm pretty confident they'll go out before 6/24. We'll just have to all watch together. I wish we could guarantee delivery, but there are so many x-factors that can't be controlled, so the 2-5 day window is what's published and communicated to the reps. Thanks. -art
Sounds to me that some people may be receiving their orders tomorrow!
Thanks for the info!
.........at 8 am today someone poisons the coffee....do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow.
Cordially,
Future Dwight
thx 4 the info....cant wait to get this phone
yea, i'm not sure why all the service reps and everyone keeps making assumptions. hope her statement holds true, she's obviously in an important position considering she released the link!

Well, I didn't get any tracking info today... so I assume nobody will be getting their online order on Wednesday. I suppose I can hope for Thursday.

there's a good chance many people will get their orders tomorrow. statuses are getting updated right now. ups will take a bit to get the tracking numbers setup and then to get those numbers back into sprint's system. if your status says shipped, i would expect it tomorrow if u live in a metropolitan area.

Good stuff 3 day delivery too bad i already got mine lol
Thanks! Ordered mine. The Chat rep said I should receive it on January 5. No way to expedite shipping. See below:
Richard: Please know that since the item is delivered from the different warehouse locate, the order status is " 3 Days Delivery Pending ". However the order will be delivered on Thursday, January 5, 2012 08:30 AM - 05:00 PM
My take on this is that "different warehouse locale" means that it's coming directly from ASUS, which is why he couldn't expedite the shipping.
Well while I was chatting they went out of stock. I was trying to see if I could pay extra for quicker shipping. I had one in my cart and everything. FML lol
sold out!!!! doh

Don't get your hopes up on the OD order. I ordered back on the 12/21 and was told I'd get it on the 27th. Not happening. I just finished chatting with a rep and didn't get much more:
Chat Transcript
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Steve.
Steve: Hi Don
Steve: Good morning
Steve: I am glad to assist you with your concern.
Me: Good morning
Steve: We apologize for the inconvenience.
Steve: May I have the order number
Me: xxxx
Steve: Thanks, let me check on the order
Steve: I am sorry the item is out of stock as of now and we do not have the restocking date updated with us
Steve: I would request you to get back to us with 2-3 business days as our warehouse team is working hard on its availability
Me: I chatted with a CSR just prior to ordering and she told me that it would definitely ship out and I'd receive it on the 27th. She was very confident about it so I went ahead and ordered it.
Me: Clearly she was mistaken. What can be done about this?
Steve: We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused
Steve: Please get back to us with 2-3 business days as our warehouse team is working hard on its availability
Me: Can I have some sort of credit applied due to the misinformation I was given?
Me: So far you're the 3rd rep I've chatted with and each has asked me to check back in 2-3 days. I'm losing confidence in that answer, unfortunaly.
Steve: Please know that due to low stock the item has to be shipped from a different location and so it is taking time to get to the ware house near to your location and it should be in stock within 2-3 business days
Me: I understand, but that is NOT what I was told when I ordered it. I was told that it WAS in stock and that it would ship in time for me to receive on the 27th. When I placed the order I again chatted with a rep who told me to wait 2-3 days for the status to be updated. Now you're telling me that it's NOT in stock but that I should still wait 2-3 days for more information. I know it's not your fault, but I need a better result then "check back in 2-3 days"--simply because apparently I have not been given accurate information from the very beginning.
Steve: I will escalate the issue to the higher authority and they will get back to you within 4 business hours with the exact delivery details
Steve: May I have your contact phone number
Me: sure thing. It's xxxxx
Steve: Thanks, please give me a moment while I escalate the issue
Me: Thanks, Steve
Steve: Thank you so much for your patience.
Steve: I have escalated the issue
Steve: Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Me: Thank you, Steve.
Me: That's it. I appreciate your help with this.

Back in stock at Office Depot as of right now.

Order before 6pm for despatch today.
I've cancelled my Google Play order to order this one instead!
EDIT: I'd suggest using PayPal. Otherwise you may get this email: [see attachment]
EDIT 2.0: Re-ordered with PayPal address, I'll let y'all know what happens.
EDIT 2.5: They accepted PayPal... But they didn't accept my shipping address for some reason.
EDIT 3.0: I should look before I leap. The watch is now out of stock. Plus you can only use paypal. Even then, they might contest your delivery address. This is only really worth it if Google doesn't ship to your country. Otherwise, I'd suggest waiting for Google to stock them.
I've cancelled my Mobile Fun order and re-ordered from Google.
PSSST. Hey you. Yes, you! Use NEWCLOTH as a voucher code to get a free microfibre cloth worth about £4!
Have you ordered from them before?
edit...decided to order from them. Delivery is a bit cheaper and I got cash back. Hopefully they'll dispatch it tomorrow and I can go get if from the Post Office on Friday after Royal Mail fail to deliver it.

Never an electronic item though, just the occasional case. They seem alright, plus you can get a free microfibre cloth if you use a certain voucher code (I forget what).
Ordered mine straight away, as the pre-orders I saw in The Netherlands were €300,- (Total Bull**** right?)
used your voucher, worked indeed.

Ordered yesterday at about 16:30 for delivery before 1pm today and here I sit...counting my steps and replying to texts cos there's not a lot else you can do with it yet......lol
MobileFun attach a letter to the box explaining that you shouldn't get it until the 7th because it won't be fully functional until then but they want you to have it early so you're ready to go etc.
Nice of them.
Cool! First impressions? Mine's showing as packing ready for despatch now.
how about ordering it for outside UK? are they trustworthy?
Ordered mine to. Mobilefun are trustworthy, often used by the guys at MoDaCo.
I used paypal and DPD next day, we will see what happens.
This was the email I got:
This email acknowledges the order you have placed online. We will email you again to confirm shipment when your order is processed, which will be within the next working day. Orders paid for before 6pm weekdays are shipped the same day providing the items are in stock.
Order Summary
Qty. Product Price Each
1 44653 LG G Watch for Android Smartphones - Black 159.00 GBP
Estimated despatch for the above products: Today, Wednesday 2nd July 2014
Shipping Method: DPD Next Working Day Parcel
Tracked service which is guaranteed to arrive the next working day (Monday to Friday) if ordered by 5 PM (not available to the Channel Islands)
Shipping Cost:6.99 GBP
Order total is 165.99 GBP, including 27.66 GBP VAT at 20%. A VAT invoice will be sent out with your order.
I have NO loyalty to Googles Play Store. Returning seems like a nightmare (many issues with my faulty N10) and the delivery charge is a rip-off.
And.... they're gone
Just checked the status of my order (placed 2nd July @ 09:40) and it's now changed from "queued for processing" to "Sorry, this item appears to be out of stock". Looks like they accept orders willy-nilly and not on quantity actually in stock at the time of ordering. I very cleverly cancelled my Play Store order already, so it's maybe someones way of telling me to wait for the 360
edit: product page says due back in stock in 2 days time.
Decided to cancel my order, and get it from Google Play instead.
First MobileFun weren't happy with my payment method (Mastercard); so I used PayPal instead.
Then their security team apparently weren't happy with my address I gave them; they said they tried to call me yesterday to confirm my address.
No missed calls, no voicemail.
Customer service asked if I wanted to verify my address...
By now, the watch is out of stock. Despite me ordering within minutes of them announcing it.
Not very impressed, and most likely won't order from them again. Not for electronics anyway.
^I hear you. I've just sent them my "thoughts" on the matter. That said, I've had a good few things from them in the past with now bother so I'm cutting them some slack. Their stock level calculations are obviously not to be trusted so I'll certainly think twice about ordering from them again.

No missed calls, no voicemail.
Customer service asked if I wanted to verify my address...
By now, the watch is out of stock. Despite me ordering within minutes of them announcing it.
Not very impressed, and most likely won't order from them again. Not for electronics anyway.

Same here, cancelled my order. pre-ordered it from a shop in The Netherlands.
Selling a device saying it will be dispatched immidiatly and then say "oh its out of stock". not too impressed with that.
(As a web developer, I also find it a weird way of doing it. A proper system would be a count behind the article and every time someone purchases it the count goes count -1. till the point it has to say its out of stock.)
Well pre-ordered from Coolblue (if you live in The Netherlands), Delivery date: 8 July

Just checked the status of my order (placed 2nd July @ 09:40) and it's now changed from "queued for processing" to "Sorry, this item appears to be out of stock". Looks like they accept orders willy-nilly and not on quantity actually in stock at the time of ordering. I very cleverly cancelled my Play Store order already, so it's maybe someones way of telling me to wait for the 360
edit: product page says due back in stock in 2 days time.

Really odd, ordered mine at 11:45 today and my status is packing ready for dispatch. Holding my breath now to see whether mine gets pulled. Maybe LG have leaned on them for delivering early.

That, or Mobile Fun have learned how to ship things on a first-come first-served basis just like the Play Store does [read: doesn't] /s
Enjoy your watch!

Thanks, I feel bad now, as though I'm taking your watch! Still not convinced they won't throw a spanner in the works though...

It's not your fault so don't you worry. It did lead me to just cancel the order completely and take my money (which they still have!) elsewhere. I'll not be ordering from them again!
Well, yep my order also went south. Made my feelings known to them as well.
I think I will wait until next week now, see the first full reviews, make a decision then.
No email from Best Buy regarding my G3 for Verizon. Supposed to be released today 7/17 but website now says Release Date: To be announced.
Called my local store and they have confirmed they do not have any g3s nor have any information on their arrival. I would just go to a Verizon store but I have a 50 dollar gift card that I can apply towards the G3!.
Post any information you may have collected or heard.

I didn't get an email today either but I went into Best Buy this afternoon anyways. I just handed the guy my pre-order paperwork and said "I'm here to pick up and activate my Verizon G3". The guy said "oh I think they're still in the back, they just came off the truck". Sure enough, he came back with it and I'm typing this on it now. I'm not sure if they weren't sopposed to give it to me or not but I figured I'd give it a shot. I still haven't gotten the email from Best Buy either. You might get lucky if you go in and just act like you got the email. Good luck!

Interesting. Maybe their just a little late getting to California stores....
The Best Buy stores in my area received them today (the 17th). We received the AT&T and Sprint ones a little ahead of the release but the Verizon ones we recieved day of. Give it a day or so and they will have them if they don't already. I don't know how the email system works, but it might indeed be worth it to walk in and ask.
Seems like the bigger city stores got them but not the smaller cities. I called my local store, Ames, IA and they said Des moines had some but theirs were still on order.
I got this email today:

Went to Verizon to pick it up instead and will cancel my BB order when it is available. I was disappointed. Did anyone get the $50 gc for new activation?

Interesting. It doesn't look like everyone has received these emails. When did you place your order? Mine was first thing in the morning on 7/11 and AFAIK they didn't have the pre-order available on 7/10 like VZW, so I'm fairly confident I'm one of the first folks that pre-ordered. A rep I spoke with did confirm that they're going to ship in the order in which the orders were placed, so maybe there's some sort of issue where they realized they don't have enough stock to cover all pre-orders and are send emails to folks who ordered after some cutoff time? Another possible thought might be that if you pre-ordered and had one of the expedited shipping options (i.e. your expected delivery was yesterday or today) and they knew they weren't going to meet the estimated time they sent the email?
All speculation of course hinging on my hope that I might see a new phone in the next 4 weeks.

I got the same e-mail yesterday and am very frustrated. I did my pre-order on the morning of 7/12. I'm debating if I should just walk into a store and see what happens....

Look like store availability is running on the site. Might what to check your location.
I think they are all screwed up over there. Has anyone tried to order and have the phone shipped to home? I keep getting that the shipping option is not available on the Verizon model. I went into the store yesterday and ask about Shipping and they said that this phone would have to be activated in the store.
Getting absolutely nowhere with BB support. Judging by the twitter conversation I had with them, it doesn't look like they've started shipping any devices at all, with no estimate on when they'll start.
Since we're all on here twiddling our thumbs until they give us something to chew on, anyone care to share when they pre-ordered and whether they've received a delay email?

You may want to check with your local Best Buy because I just checked a little bit ago on the website and it shows that my small local Best Buy has them now. It showed that they weren't available this morning.

Specifically had it shipped to avoid having a best buy employee activate the phone and kill my UDP.

Just received a call from a BB rep saying they won't be able to ship the LG G3 for "a couple of months."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Best Buy for thinking that's correct and laughing at that employee for having to make that phone call. They are just asking for it.
I just went into my local best buy and they didn't even know they had them in the storage shelves right behind them. I had to tell the guy the phone came out yesterday and then he checked for it. I didn't get to use the $50 upgrade promotion but they did let me use the $50 towards accessories like a screen protector, case, and audio aux cable. Loving the phone so far.
Had a pre order with Amazon.got an email this morning saying delay this delay that sorry wah wah. Cancelled order went on best buy website. Paid for replacement device(full price) got my your pickup is ready email. Typing from my amazing g3. Best buy chick was on top of it. Even have ne me the option for her to activate it or me at home. I said. Me (duh). Popped SIM in as soon as I was in the car. The rest is history. I did pay more at best buy but I call it a(I want my device now) fee.

We have Verizon LG G3 in Washington DC BBC ?
I am still waiting for my 10th Of July preorder from Verizon not BestBuy.
Amazon, UDP, $400 Activation Fee
Wonder if you go with Amazon and perform sim swap trick to maintain UDP, would you be hit with the $400 fee for not activating it Amazon's way? Given the delays with BB, I'm almost tempted to take a shot with Amazon but wouldn't necessarily want to get hit with an extra $400 for not following their directions. Any experiences buying phones off Amazon but maintaining UDP with sim trick?
Went to best buy and upgraded with Verizon edge and they gave me a 100$ gift card. They had a 24 inch 1080p TV for 120. So I got the TV for 30$ put the door ..glad I upgraded
