Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Reservation numbers / Questions

Hey everyone!!Smiley Happy

Once again its the time of the year that Samsung announces their new Galaxy S line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung this morning announced the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+!. The device has a breathe taking new design which includes 88% screen ration, S8 is 5'7 inch screen and the S8+ is 6'2 inch screen, Fingerprint sensor on the back and new Snapdragon processor. Also comes in different colors and includes more features!! 



1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Click on the account you want to access ( Some have multiple accounts ) - click on your number ( if you have multiple numbers) - scroll down and click on Device Reservation. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want and it wil,l show you a list which will include the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ in Black and what other colors they may release it on. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues . The reservation list is different statues and numbers for all models / colors and groups ( Business, Consumer and pre orders have different line ups and numbers.)

- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.
- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.
- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.
- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them or going to the store. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online. The store can help you log into ur account and let u do it but there is no pre order list in store.


2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.


3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level on the account but some stores will decline it.


4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confusen about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.

Let's make this thread the only thread for the devices please and if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll gladly be able to help Smiley Happy

 

 

EDIT - The phone is available in Midnight Black and Orchid Gray in Canada. Maple Gold, Tactic Silver and Coral Blue, along with Midnight Black and Orchid Gray colour variants will be available in the U.S. and other markets. 

 

So sadly we are only getting the Midnight Black and Orichrd Gray in Canada. Later on we will get the other colors hopefully. 

 

EDIT 2 - In Canada the S8 is set to start at $1,035 CAD with the S8+ costing $1,115. Carrier pricing is not avialable  at the moment. Soon it will be. 

 

EDIT 3 - April 21st is when the S8 / S8+ will be launched!

To check a business preorder go to rogersdirect.ca that's where I check the status of my business order. I'm currently 26 of 178.

Hello @kh29

You will get a shipment email when they ship out the Gear VR and controller. You won't get any other email. That's the only two emails u will get. The registration for the phone and the shipment for the bonus items.

Hello @SevenRosie

Many still haven't.. Some have. The first batch came and they divided that upon reservations, pre orders for ship to home, business side, stores and also some stock for the call center.

Again pre ordering does not guarantee you will get it before anyone else or at launch.

You will get urs once the second batch comes.

Thank you very much for the reply!! I really apperciate it!!!

 

It got me very upset today when I did an online chat with them to ask my order status, 3 operators can not give me an answer at all!!! This is very disappointed and a very horrible experience since this is my first time return to Rogers since 2009!!!

Hello @SevenRosie

Unfortunately if you used the reservation t no one can see the status and or check it out as its a self serve option. Same with the ship faster option. They can see a order was placed for a pre order but nothing else until the shipment gets shipped out. This is sadly how it is with ore orders.

I am surprised they have not given anyone the option to view the preorders or do them over the phone. I get that they want things done directly to prevent misuse of the preorder system but still. 

Mind you.. not all the reps are that bright.

Most likely that's why. Alot can happen with mistakes that way.

I understand it taking a few days but saying ship to home get it faster was for many cases an untrue statement by the looks of it it should have said ship to home may get it faster, it's seems like the reservation system was far more effective having it ship to store. By the looks of it I am not gonna get my device even on lunch day, and that to me is very disappointing, Samsung and rogers could have been more prepared for the pre orders

After reserving on the first day, if I don't get my phone on launch (at least) - I'm going to snap.

Snap, Go Postal or Do the Macarena.

It is not Rogers fault. Rogers does not produce the phones, only recieves them.

Rogers cannot give you a phone they do not have. If Samsung does not give them phones for customers there is nothing they can do.

Square One, the location next to Walmart. Anyways, called them today and they said that it's finally available for pick up. Picked up the Orchid Grey S8+. It's kinda underwhleming compared to the feeling I had when I picked up the Note 7.

They do have my phone though. I'm #7 in queue. For some reason, they are just choosing not to give any out to the business side reservations.

Hiws it going man? I had a couple questions for you.. I too preordered my phone on the 30th ad was made 22nd position. When you ordered it did you do it over the phone? Also everything I need to check my status I need to call because we don't have access to rogers direct... They keep telling me phones only ship on the 21st.. Lemme know how it worked out for you! Thanks man.


Great - the phone has arrived and I've spent all night playing with it haha. Yes - I ordered through the Rogers business line. I wasn't able to check my status online, nor did I follow-up, but I received weekly updates, then finally got shipment notice a couple days ago... hopefully yours come soon

I agree, but the reason I chose home delivery is because rogers stated that would be the fastest way no if' s or but' s but clearly it's not true if I were to chose the store option it seems I would have it by now, I have a friend that order theirs to the store sometime roughly and they had theirs yesturday
