Not sure if this happened to anyone else, I preordered the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra on the first day of preorders to ensure I'd get the phone on release. The preorder came with $200 of Samsung credit. I did it through the site to hopefully mitigate any errors of preordering in-store. 

Release day comes and I did not get my pick up notification. I decide to call the stor and every time I tried to get through to mobile, there was no answer. I eventually decide to go to make sure so I can get an answer. I waited in the store for an hour to get told there was nothing they can do. I asked if I could change it to a different store since they had stock, they said no or else I'd lose out on the preorder. I decided to just wait it out since I wanted to make sure I got the $200 preorder along with the trade in promotion.

I did no recieve a pick up email Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Last night I decided to check the stock around the area, and it stated they got 3 of the phone I preordered in the store. So this morning, I was expecting my order to get filled and I'd be on my way later today to pick up a phone I was hoping to get this past Friday. Instead, I got a cancellation email for my order. I checked the stock again and the store still has 3 of the phones left. Why did this get cancelled? If I knew I was going to have this much trouble, I would've went and preordered it from Samsung's website instead. Any help with this would be appreciated. The $200 preorder to use to buy other items was a big reason to preorder, now it is lost.

Hello, geco17! 

Thanks for reaching back out to us on the forum for support. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra looks pretty sweet, and I can imagine you were looking forward to picking up your pre-order for this. I hate to hear your order cancelled, and I'm happy to assist as best as I can with this situation moving forward.

Have you been able to get through to the store? Or have you been able to visit the store to discuss the $200 credit and what happened?

All the best,
