- Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S25 in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and the Middle East have started shipping early, as reported by buyers.
- These shipments not only have barcodes created, but have also been picked up by their couriers, indicating a potential early delivery.
- Some users have noted expected delivery dates as much as a week earlier than the official Feb. 7 release date.
The Galaxy S25 series was recently unveiled by Samsung, with pre-orders opening on Jan. 22. Buyers may be in for a pleasant surprise as several Reddit users have begun to receive shipping notifications for their orders well ahead of the Feb. 7 release date (via Droid Life).
In many cases, shipping notifications are sent out as soon as the label is created, even if the actual delivery is still days away. However, this time, multiple users are witnessing their packages making their way through shipping networks in various regions.
Unlike some other smartphone companies, Samsung has a track record of delivering new releases to buyers ahead of schedule, which hints at a potential early delivery for Galaxy S25 pre-order customers.

While some buyers are still only seeing shipping notifications for label creation, those who have received estimated delivery dates are likely to get their Galaxy S25 units sooner. It’s advisable to remain cautious until you have a confirmed delivery date.
Certain pre-orders, including those from Droid Life, are showing estimated delivery dates as early as Jan. 30. This will help determine whether these early delivery dates are accurate. Orders directly from Samsung are more likely to ship early, while those from retailers and carriers may adhere to the official release date of Feb. 7.
It’s recommended to pre-order through Samsung for potential benefits like early delivery, promotions, and trade-in values. However, some concerns have been raised about Samsung’s return policy in the past.
