S20 Ultra - Delayed Delivery

[Rbarkley82]

Hi All,

   I understand this is a community forum but thought I would ask anyway. When I ordered the S20 Ultra it said Upto 4 weeks delivery. Its now changed to 5 weeks. Just curious, does this mean 4 week (but now 5 weeks) or could it be earlier?

Cheers

I doubt it will be earlier than stated. O2 have to rely on the allocation of stock they are allowed.

Best of luck anyway and welcome to the forum

Working in a home delivery industry, the "up to" date normally means that based on current shipping forecasts that is the latest you should receive it - at point of ordering.
So if you ordered and it said up to 4 weeks you should receive it within 4 weeks.
Any changes after that are for customers that place their order after you.
As this is pre-order then I think o2 will have had a schedule of when they are getting deliveries and orders up to a certain point will be 4 weeks and after that is 5.

@Rbarkley82 

Timing for pre orders is based entirely on the number of devices the manufacturer is supplying V's the number of pre orders obtained by the network.

There will be an immediate allocation for release day then further deliveries in the weeks following.

Your "estimate" is based on balancing those two figures.

It could be earlier but equally, it could be later.

Fingers crossed its sooner rather than later
