maybe it gets delivered to a warehouse / goods center awaiting sorting

Picked mine up from NL less than 12 hours after 'pre'-ordering (the phone that is, watch still waiting for stock).  They confirmed that the $150 gift voucher does not show on the email confirmation or invoice but I will get it.  Reasoning is that the (Samsung?) purchase was just the phone and watch.  The gift voucher is an extra thrown in by NL and is separate from the purchase.  Probably also explains why the NL package is the Classic watch; ie. to ensure that their bonus package is not less than the Samsung $500 figure.  Suggests that the margins on new phones are quite healthy (the NL total extras coming to $799)!  Presumably $299 more than they will be getting from Samsung for the bonus?

Can understand the frustration of those still waiting, but also appreciate the difficulties Samsung are facing.  Timing not great, right near the peak of the omicron outbreak.   

Samsung online shop must be totally confused as my order went back into processing yesterday 12 pm after receiving order at 8 am then received email 2.30pm to say my order is completed. Just received email sorry delay and then checked my account and all is completed, wont complain if they send another order no charge.

Same here, maybe Samsung online store sent that delay email to all pre-order customers?

My order arrived this morning, then at 1:30pm received order complete email, and just received the "order delayed" email at 3:36pm.

Yep, I am one of the unlucky ones, have received zero communication from Samsung since placing the order on 17/02 via EPP store until now.

Just received the email from Samsung saying it is delayed, sigh....

Oh man that sucks. 

Tbh, going from S10 SD to S22 SD, other than the 120hz screen, I haven't noticed a huuuge difference. Maybe I should've got the Ultra for its impressive 25 cameras!

Got my Vodafone preorder mostly ontime, delay was with NZpost struggling to move anything.

Finally got my "Order delayed" email woohoo!

Not even going to bother replying since I got mine a week ago! I wonder if they just sent a mass email to all customers without any sort of filtration process!

I haven't previously used a screen protector and got away with it but are considering one for the S22 Ultra.

Any recommendations/preferences between film (Spigen NeoFlex, ..) or glass type (Zagg, PanzerGlass, 3sixT?)?

Spigen has $27 ones from PBTech.

I presonally prefer hydro-gel ones especially for the fingerprint scanner to work super fast EVERY time.

Not much protection but its good against scratches and feels nicer than the glass imho.

I have been using my S22U 256GB (which I ordered from Samsung) since I received it on 25 Feb

Today I have received an email from Samsung...

Gordon, we’re sorry – your recent Galaxy S22 order is delayed.

Wow... what do I do if I receive another S22? 😀
