Hmm that brings the 1tb ultra to $2200 if you buy it through app for 10% off, very very tempting.

For those of you that pre-ordered (via the EPP store, although not sure if that makes a difference) what estimated send out of delivery date do you guys have? 13/03/26?

I notice if I add a S26 ultra to my cart again, it says it will ship it out from today.... Not only that, the code that people used to get free 65Watt charger, the charger went out of stock so you didn't get that freebie, no biggie, but again, now if you go to add a new phone to your car, the charger is back in stock and you get that freebie.

Thirdly, it seems as though I didn't get the bonus $300 trade in boost when I did mine on day one, if I go to trade in the same device again now, it gives me $150 extra trade in boost!?

Seems like I've gotten triple penalised for pre-preordering on day 1?

Can someone tell me I'm not crazy?

512GB S26 Ultra from EPP store… Free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB, so 512GB phone is $2549.
EPP store is 25% off. 25% off $2549 is $1911.75

Trading in my S25 Ultra 512GB which is $970 (base, no boost).

$1911.75 - $970 is $941.75.

I had a $150 code (FEB- something something) $941.75 - $150 = $791.75 which is what I paid.

Everywhere on the pre order page says get a $300 trade in boost. I don't see any boost in my deal?

The EPP store isn't offering free storage upgrade, so you've bought the 512GB model for $2,211.75 which is 25% off the full price of $2,949.00.

That's $300 more than the 256GB model which accounts for your $300 trade-in boost.

Yes that is what I was told by Samsung, the storage upgrade and trade-in boost does not apply on the EPP store. Can hardly complain though when with the EPP discount and trade in I've paid $831 for the 256GB model.

On the shipping date though, my preorder direct from Samsung also says 13 March when the retail stores say shipping from the 5th?

How did you get the free upgrade from EPP store? I was told this was only available from retail stores?

You paid $831 for the 256GB model, was that with or without a trade in?! Did you also get in in time to get the free charger?

That was with trade in (S24 ultra) and without the free charger unfortunately.

On Samsung NZ EDU I can get the S26U 512GB for 1,279.57 - trading in a S24 256GB... but no accessories included.

or S26+ 512GB for 1,088.32

or S26 512GB for 863.32

Thoughts?

Got an email with a discount code for EPP for an additional $100 off so pulled the trigger on a S26 Plus 512 GB for $1849.

So my case is exactly as mentioned above, and after an additional $300 trade-in (S25U 512GB) boost, it came down to $641.75. I had an additional 5% off voucher and in total it came down to 609. Combining with the additional 209 Samsung Reward Points and them being multiplied, the overall price i paid was $599 for S26U 256GB.
