Yea I've lost hope...
No "taking longer then expected" messages or anything.
Big guarantee I'll be stuck waiting till 16th or worse...thats what I get for preordering soon as they were added to the site ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Never had a single issue on launch days so why all of a sudden)
Good question @Varcarus wish I had an answer for you but I don't. I didn't order till the 28th so not expecting to hear for a while as there are many in the queue before me. But those like yourself who ordered the first day they were available for pre-order should receive them on the 8th March.
Seems not to be the case, though and who knows why. Seems we're experiencing an Apple launch day for a Samsung phone!!

HAPPY 8TH PEOPLE, IT'S PARTY DAY FOR ALL YOU WHO PRE-ORDERED or is it!. No it's not, for most. After 11 years paying bill after bill to rip off O2 and they can't even send the phones that where promised if you pre-ordered. It's nothing to do with the colours, O2 shouldn't have started the pre-order ball rolling if they new the stock was very low. We'll just have to wait until the 25th I guess for our phones.

Just been reading on another networks forum, that people are getting the delayed notification for the S10+ due to "High Demand"
I wonder if the problem lies at Samsung, and not being able to manufacture enough of the S10+ devices, it was telling that even our Samsung Account manager didnt have the device to show us, and a week before launch they usually are all over it..
I think the other issue is that Samsung are changing there entire portfolio of devices, and there are at least 6 new devices coming soon (excluding S10/+/e)
