When pre-orders for the Galaxy S24 Series opened on January 17, shortly after Unpacked wrapped, Samsung told us that orders should arrive by the in-store launch date of January 31. If that triggered your eyes to look at a calendar, then you know that we are still a full week from that date, yet I’m about to hit with you some great news – Galaxy S24 pre-orders are shipping super early with expected arrival this week.
A number of readers reached out to let us know that their Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S24 orders had shipped earlier than usual. As veterans to this game, we know that shipment notifications don’t necessarily mean early arrival and often are just a sign that Samsung is processing orders and has created a label. However, for the Galaxy S24, devices are actually moving and could arrive for many within a day or so.
The order I put in for an orange Galaxy S24 (unlocked model) changed within the last day from being a label to hitting a truck and moving out of Dallas-Forth Worth area. My pre-order is definitely on the way and should be in my hands tomorrow, January 26. Of our readers is seeing the same for his Galaxy S24 Ultra (AT&T model), with expected arrival of tomorrow.
If you haven’t yet, you may want to login to your Samsung account and check order status. If you pre-ordered, you should be on the lookout for your device this week and also to start preparing your trade-in.
And for those who didn’t pre-order, you still have time to get the best Galaxy S24 deal out of the gate. We’re talking up to $870 off the S24 Ultra or a Galaxy S24+ for as little as $249.
Cheers Jim, Go, and everyone else!
My T-Mobile S24Ultra showed up today. Ordered it last week. (512K Black)
I received mine as most on 1/26. Ultra 1 TB in Titanium Green.
Got notice mine shipped, although no info on UPS yet. Says a delivery by 30th, which really is 1 day earlier than estimate at order.
24+ 512GB in Sapp Blue
Got mine today. (1/26 as most did) Sucks they took away swipe from top and hide gesture hints setting.
Mine was supposed to be here 1/26 between 10am-2pm. Now UPS says this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a39a70e4177508821cb363d3aa263f787133152958517e776fb1e36905c16731.jpg
Update: still no shipping date available from UPS. Either it’s lost or someone stole it.
Ordered Jan 23rd. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/766ed71d672b6ec274644f35024dfc0794e8e928094c31f47d338d8c108c92c2.png
Just got a notice from FedEx that mine was delayed in Memphis until Monday the 29th
I suspect mine is the same. Said arriving early (today) this morn, but travel history shows it’s still in Memphis.
My wife’s S24+ was supposed to be here today but delayed until Mon the 29th as well. However my S24 Ultra just arrived. Both ours shipped via UPS though.
S24U direct from Samsung is already in-hand.
my tmobile order has a UPS number and shows shipped also
update. Mine arrives today (1/26)
My unlocked S24 Ultra will be here tomorrow, the 26th!
My 24+ was in Louisville, KY this morning. Right now in Kokomo, IN as of 8:05pm for a delivery tomorrow by or before 7:00pm. Will play with it for a couple of days to see if it grows on me. This will be my 2nd Samsung phone since the Galaxy Nexus.
Mine is arriving Friday the 26th! 🙂
Wait- that’s tomorrow! Sheesh it’s been a week…
In my hand! Sandstone Orange!

My Ultra shipped yesterday and is due for delivery tomorrow. It’s gone from Texas to OK to MO. My package is traveling the country. I’m glad it’s coming UPS versus FedEx. It should get to my local hub in a couple hours. I’ll be picking it up as soon as their doors open at 9am. My trade-in label is printed and I’ll be hitting FedEx Monday.
Make sure if you’re trading in to take videos and pics. Samsung has been lying about the status of my phones or watches every trade-in. They’ve said things like my screen is cracked or camera. Didn’t factory reset the device. I’d guess 6 out of my last 10 trade-ins there’s been an issue.
Just got the notification from UPS mine will be here the 29th Verizon S24 ultra
Mines tomorrow orange model.
Looks like they shipped a bunch of them for Delivery on the 26th – including mine.
I’m guessing since I opted for the in-store pick up at Best Buy I’m going to need to wait until the 31st. Don’t trust the porch pirates in my neighborhood and thought that would be the best option.
Signature is required upon delivery.
My unlocked black 512 24 + is already in Louisville Left DFW this morning to be delivered to me tomorrow between 1:45 and 5:45. Thank God Samsung has switched to UPS first time they’ve used UPS I think in about 10 years FedEx is such a pile of crap because of their s*** heads help. I did ship my trade in a flip 5 and of course it had to go FedEx I shipped it Monday it was supposed to be delivered yesterday and it still delayed in Hutchins Texas now to be delivered tomorrow so I will be talking to Samsung and see if we can get trade-ins going back UPS so we will not have to depend on f****** FedEx s******** to deliver our packages either way.
FedEx is so trash. When I got the S22+ & Ultra for my wife & I, they had to be signed for. I wasn’t home the first time they tried to deliver my wifes + but was the next day & signed for it. I wasn’t home when they tried to deliver my Ultra, but I got a notification that it was signed for. When I called FedEx on my way home they said they tracked it being signed for at a different location & there was nothing they could do & I had to call Samsung. Come to find out, the delivery dude signed for it & left it at the door. SMFH.
Almost same exact story but my fedex driver signed for it then put it in my mailbox before my mail came, then the mail lady took the package when she dropped off the mail and almost sent it back to Samsung. I even had to pay USPS to get my package back! UPS just dropped off my 24 ultra in record time.
Sucks that that happened to you, but nice that you got your S24 Ultra. Picking mine up from VZW next week.
no change on my S24+ 512GB in Sapph blue.
My unlocked 512GB Titanium Green s24 Ultra is shipped, in UPS’s hands, and expected to arrive tomorrow. It didn’t show as picked up by UPS until about an hour ago (11:30am CST 1/25/24), but I got the initial label created notice yesterday.
Got a notification 2 days ago it shipped with delivery on 1/26. UPS has still not picked up the package. So now it’s just a waiting game.
My 512gb ultra departed DFW and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Happy Day!
Just arrived!
I know these things usually ship a little early but this seems PARTICULARLY early. I wonder if it’s a means to attempt to speed up the backorders? Ordered mine (Orange S24+) a couple nights ago and it’s got a 2/14 delivery date. And more than half of the Ultra SKUs have slipped to March.
I ordered yesterday afternoon. Everything was showing Jan 31st for me, with 2 colors Feb 2nd. (Edit, now those are Feb 14 orange/21st Marble Gray)
These are just the 24+.. I see the Ultra has some in March.
Me too, Orange S24+ I ordered on Friday the 19th I think. Scheduled delivery by 2/14. Orange was the only one that wasn’t 1/31, but none of the other colors did anything for me. I figure the one positive is the reviews will be in on the S24 series by then and I can cancel the order if they are bad for any reason.
Mine is scheduled for tomorrow, woo!
in transit or just label?
In transit. Scheduled delivery by UPS on 1/26. Really surprised it’s so soon. Just ordered it on Monday. Got the 256GB Unlocked Violet model.
mine has label but not yet In transit yet. But could arrive tomorrow as well
