                              @hanofee: walk in and drop off, no appt needed. Benefit: peace of mind. you know they received your phone and dont have to worry about their staff stealing packages or swapping phones (see Asurion trade in nightmare stories).

                              Edit: although I still recommend taking photos + vid of working phone before trade in

                              • @OZcheepsk8: The Flip5 vs Flip5 5G is a joke reading about it in the Samsung subreddit. So many people returned their phone and Asurion said it was a Flip5 and not a Flip5 5G and charged them.

                                • @thedean: I had a tool who tried to return my phone because IMEI didn't match. They read IMEI 1 and not IMEI 2. I had contacted the Samsung CEOs office and had a quick turnaround.

                            • @hanofee: the mobileguru page says when you go to do a drop off order:

                              Get a cosmetic assessment of your device on the spot.

                              • @bohn: cosmetic may not equal a full assessment e.g battery life etc. I dont know but taking guesses

    • +1

      Does it say 'Service - StarTrack' in the details section?

      • -1

        just got an email from samsung at 1am saying its on its way…so the Auspost notification was correct.

    • +3

      Based on all negs and disappearance of OP after posting about shipping notification, I assume it's another uninformed or fake post.

      Just curious what fun will it be for someone to do something like this without checking it themselves first when you know people are eagerly waiting for that notification.

      • +6

        Just love to stir some shit around!

      • -1

        Why so serious? Its just a phone.

  • -2

    Yeh I can't wait to get my order either (so I can return it and redo it lol). Pretty annoying they stopped allowing cancellations at all about halfway through this promo..

    • +1

      Why redo it?

      • Decided on finally biting the bullet and trying an ultra, anti reflection looks too tempting.

    • Vouchers may not work after the preorder period

      • Yeh was hoping could do it in time to use the evoucher again but it's not looking likely now oh well

        • Looks like vouchers discount extended until 13/02

          • @Mregmi: It has always been 13/02.

            This is my email from Samsung when I registered for the unpacked - received on 8th Jan

            From 26th January 2025 5:00AM AEDT, the value of the eVoucher will revert to its original value of $100 and will be valid until 13th February 2025 11:59PM AEDT.

            • @CodeXD: I didn’t know, I just got a new code in the app today, wasn’t there before

          • @Mregmi: Yeh I think it's midnight on the 13th all the preorder stuff ends.

    • You could have cancelled if you called them or through chat assuming order hadnt been packed yet. Once the cancel button disappears, means they have processed your order and it can be difficult to track down your box within the thousands of other ones.

      • -2

        Nah tried that, there was still a cancel button, I had in fact successfully cancelled an order a few days prior but changed my mind yet again (yeh I've been indecisive ><). Cancel button didn't work anymore, called to try that way but they said cause it was a bundle order and people have been abusing it they stopped ALL cancellations in a computer said no type situation. Even explained to him the evoucher situation and he acknowledged that, but he said basically too bad hopefully you can return it in time. Pretty bs if you ask me, changing the rules all of a sudden.

        • +1

          I mean, you ordered twice and wanted to cancel twice and re-order again. On the same page people are complaining about how long it takes to dispatch orders after ordering, you can't have it both ways.

          • @thedean: Come on now, you should be able to cancel an order before it's even processed. I tried to cancel like a day or 2 later to try and buy something more expensive. What kind of customer relations is that.

            • @buyerbee: So you think Samsung should wait 2 days after ordering before kicking it down the warehouse chain to start the stock allocation, packing and distribution process?

              • @thedean: I don't think anything, it's just how it works. Any other order would have been fine to cancel in such a short time frame (with most companies not just samsung), but he said they locked the system down cause of people doing the preorder bundle manipulations.. Yeh I get there are exceptions like Amazon with their next day stuff but this wasn't that. It's no big deal, just a bit annoying is all.

                • @buyerbee: You're misunderstanding. The system was locked down to prevent cancelling PART orders.
                  People were getting a bundle discount and then cancelling a single item (e.g. the buds) to retain the discount. Samsung changed this by making it possible to cancel the whole order only if you used a bundle discount.

                  Order cancelling is still possible before your order has moved down the line to 'preparing for dispatch' which you can see in the browser console in the backend.

                  Wanting to cancel after 2 days means your assuming Samsung took your order and did no stock allocation or preparation for 2 days, which obviously they are doing given it's the busiest time for their warehouse team. It's on you to be honest, make better decisions next time.

                  • +1

                    @thedean: Incorrect, they eventually locked out cancelling FULL orders whatsoever as a method to combat the part order order accessory cancellation trick. Do you get what I'm saying? My order hadn't processed at all, cancel button still there you just couldn't click it and even the Samsung guy couldn't do it manually because "the system wouldn't let him" either and even he was a bit confused by that.. So yeah better think through your decision very carefully before buying I'd suggest (i thought I had but I kept changing my mind !)

  • +6

    Shipping day today! (Fingers crossed)

    • Still not sure

      • Mine still 'awaiting despatch' but says get it by 6th Feb….

        • Startrack prob wont pick up til later this afternoon

    • mine is still "get it by 7th" and "awaiting dispatch"

      from previous experience, delivery just happens overnight where I live

      fit3 watch I ordered yesterday afternoon is "out for delivery" already lol

  • Hi there, I just realised i mistook my s8 plus for an s8 and put in trade-in details as an S8. The trade-in value is 1 dollar regardless but would this mean I lose my discounts? will they debit me all the discounts I received? Should I cancel and order again? if anyone has experience with they could share would be much appreciated.

    • +4

      No. You can just not return the phone and sell your s8 plus elsewhere. The trade-in bonus and additional discounts are still effective. Asurion will just take the $1 trade-in value deposit. You might get charged of $30 late return fee by Asurion. (Not going to bring up the long discussion on the late/non return fees. )

  • Amazon is claiming this spen works as a bluetooth spen for s25 ultra, also says has long battery life, no need to charge. Probably I will buy it after I get my phone, test and return if doesn’t have bluetooth functionality.

          • @CodeXD: Cost saving. Even if they save $2 on it, they might save $30 million+ right there if they sell same number of S25U as S24U.

          • +2

            @CodeXD: This was already officially denied by Samsung when Amazon UK posted wrong Specs for the S Pen separately sold. May be google that and you will find it.

            • @OZBsince2018: Thanks, you're right, what a kerfuffle this has caused

    • +2

      It'll be interesting to see, the jerryrigeverything teardown of the S25U shows that it has the induction coil for charging the SPen.

    • Found one on samsung AU website, same RRP but discounted

      https://www.samsung.com/au/mobile-accessories/galaxy-s25-ult…

      Handy tools, all at your service
      Instantly have at your service an array of tools via Air Command. From sketching to note-taking — you name it, you've got it.

      • And the description is different, doesn’t say anything about Bluetooth

    • I wonder if a bluetooth spen from an old phone will fit in it and work?

      • It doesn't, it won't click in.
        JerryRig already tried on his teardown.

  • -2

    Mine still awaiting despatch too but says get it by 6th Feb..

    Spoke with Samsung they said not one order has been sent out to anyone yet and they will only starting sending orders out tomorrow..

    😐

    • yea previous years Startrack sometimes ignored the connote notes "Do not deliver before xxx date".
      Maybe they are actually adhering to it this year.

      • Update: I wrote this out earlier during today but for some reason it didn't post??

        Anyway I looked more into auspost app and it gave me a tracking Id starting with EFJZ this is a Samsung tracking number and I haven't even got a email to say it's sending or being dispatched even the app for Samsung store still says the same. But auspost saying item will be delivered tomorrow the 6th and it's now at Sydney sorting facility.

        So I really do believe it's coming tomorrow good luck everyone!

        Also happy S25 ultra delivery day 😜

  • At the time of purchase i did the trade in option and was willing to send over my S22 Ultra which they valued at $385 and hence they held that amount from my bank account. As luck would have it i since dropped and cracked my S22 Ultra screen. I take it Asurion are going to heavily reduce their evaluation of my phone now to possibly $1? Does anyone have experience from previous years to have an idea what is likely to happen here and what's the best next step to take? Thanks in advance

    • +2

      There are so many people who accidentally damaged their screen after trading in their phone.
      The best way is to not return your phone, just pay a $60 no-return fee.

      • +1
        • buys S24 Ultra a year ago
          "wow this phone will get 10 years of updates and I have Samsung Care! I don't need a case"
        • trades in after upgrading to S25U
          "wow OK I better put an ugly lifeproof case on this sucker right about now"
    • +10

      I honestly don't understand why people keep contacting chat thinking they will get a different response than the 10 other people in here have contacting chat.

      • +5

        Yes, what are people hoping to achieve? Fair enough if it has gone past the scheduled date but why do people keep harassing customer service before the scheduled date

      • +4

        Yeah or that it will make a difference on how fast you will get the phone.

  • +1

    Silver S25 256GB here with white Buds 3 Pro.
    Ordered on the 24th and it's still "Awaiting Dispatch" with "Ships from 6 Feb".

    • Same man

  • -2

    Got an update from an agent. Best case delivery tomorrow, but seems it will meet the committed date at least. My status is currently "Awaiting Dispatch, get it by 7 Feb":

    Upon checking here, the order is in shipping preparation status, you order have been generated and transferred to the warehouse. The warehouse will then pick, pack and dispatch the order. Orders should progress to ‘Shipped’ status within 6 hours.

    The requested delivery date of the order is on 6th of February which is tomorrow. Once the courier get your order they will contact you right away for delivery.

  • Some action on whirlpool. Samsung dispatched emails.

  • 1 out of 2 of my orders dispatched, both ordered on day 1.

  • +1

    My order from 25 Jan is on the way. Just received notification.

    • +1

      Same. Just received notification from app. S25+ blue black custom colour, ordered 9.30am 23rd Jan.

      Order now shows as On The Way, IMEI appears in the order details, and Startrack tracking has appeared in the Auspost app. Rural area though, so estimated delivery is Friday 7th.

      Interestingly, opening up tracking details in the Auspost app says that Startrack received it on the Monday 3rd (probably held in embargo)

  • Got aupost tracking number automatically added from Startrack. Expected delivery tomorrow. Jet Black Titanium s25 ultra 512.

    • Nothing yet for me - Ordered on the 23rd at 8pm. Jetblack Titatnium 256 Ultra.

  • ordered 23 Jan…no notification or tracking details yet

  • +1

    Got aupost tracking number automatically added from Startrack. Expected delivery tomorrow. Jet Black Titanium s25 ultra 512 and pink gold same storage

  • +4

    Didn't receive any emails from Samsung yet but decided to check my Auspost account and can see there's a Startrack tracking number added.
    Funnily, it says "This parcel is late. Was expected to arrive Tuesday 4 February". It's definitely the phone as I haven't done any other online shopping recently and the tracking shows signature is required.

    Ordered S25U 512GB JetBlack around 8:30am on the 23rd.

  • +1

    For people who get the shipping notification - could you please do me a favour and add date of your purchase and whether its an online exclusive colour please?

    • hows thats going to help ?

      • +5

        so I can collect S25U shipping data that I can sell to the CCP

        • nice

          • +3

            @U30004: in seriousness, so I can gauge whether exclusive colours have delayed delivery and an expectation of when I can get mine.

            • -3

              @OZcheepsk8: mate… isnt your sanity more important? why would you want to be anxious till your phone is delievered?

              • @U30004: people are going to post updates anyway - may aswell collect some data so I know whether or not to get exclusive colours. Also, need to know when I might receive so I can trade in my phone. I have a few orders open and trying to maximise trade in benefit

            • +1

              @OZcheepsk8: It would be down to how popular that colour was. Maybe samsung underestimated the popularity of exclusive colours and didnt make enough for pre orders, particularly jet back as that has a ship date of 27th if you order now.

        • Best response to cover the anxiety, got a laugh from me

  • Did you guys get an email? As I don’t have an Australia post account so I have no idea how on how to check.

    • You can try creating an Auspost account with the same email address you used to order the phone. Though I'm not sure if it will automatically associate the tracking number (assuming it exists) to your new account after the fact.

      • I tried that and nothing😔.

  • +1

    Just got an email that my order is on the way, I can track the shipment on Startrack (picked up at 11AM, delivery shows tomorrow)

    Order date: 23/01 ,6:54pm
    Product: S25 U Jet black 512gb

  • Got a tracking number added to my auspost account. It wasn't there when I checked an hour ago. Ordered on Jan 25th, Coming for Sydney

  • Just got a notification that it was shipped. Should get it tomorrow according to the tracking. Notification was sent through email.

  • literally checked mine 2 minutes ago, was awaiting dispatch and I was getting worried. but just now got email and shop notification, it's been shipped woohoo

    ordered on 23rd 11am, 512gb grey S25U, buds3 (wasn't able to cancel) and a case, all shipped together

    there going to be vans full of S25U all over Australia tomorrow

    • Same phone, same colour, same order time/date, still awaiting dispatch.

      • +1

        hang in there

        also, prime minister on Ozbargain? I think we're screwed more than we imagined, folks

        • He didnt build his wealth by paying rrp for housing

  • +1

    One of my order with watch got shipped with tracking id (Sydney) ordered this second
    Another one on which I cancelled the accessories still waiting to be dispatched (regional) ordered this first

  • Mine is shipped as well. ETA 6th, I was originally getting it by 7th per Samsung. Day 1 Order at 2PM. S25U Jetblack 512GB. Tracking shows it has been with Startrack at one of the Depot on Monday 3rd.

    • I wonder how many S25U packages they can stack on top of each other untill the bottom ones are crushed under the overall weight

    • Same here, my S25 Ultra 1TB got shipped too, get it by 7th Feb.

  • what glass screen protector everyone getting?

    • Aliexpress

      also got the samsung film stuff as one of my accessories which I prob wont use

      • +1

        I posted this link earlier. Always use these for ease of application and perfect for working with fingerprint scanner as well

        • did you order the same? i received the order but the label says for Samsung Galaxy S20 6.8inches

          • @Aemit: Yes. Same for me. Haven’t received the phone yet so can’t check. But with Amazon we can always return 🙂

            • @OZBsince2018: but have to wait till another one arrives to apply the screen protector. its better to install it while the phone is just out of the box

      • got this one thanks…3 pack sharing between 3…thanks everyone
