Received Samsung s24 Ultra Pre-order, can't activate due to order still processing, and showing not shipped?

Received my Samsung S24 Ultra pre-order in the mail today, though there is no activate option available. I spoke with a chat agent and they advised me it can't be activated due to the order still showing as processing. It isn't even showing as shipped. Is there any remedy to manually complete the order so I can activate and use the phone, since I have it in hand, instead of it being a paperweight?

I called about the same issue.  I was told that "This is a pre order and it will be fulfilled on Jan 31st".  I was also told "Our service partner FedEx has not marked this as delivered in our system".   So far, I have not been able to get mine activated, it seems the talking point is push everything to the 31st and deal with it then.

Same issue. I was told that Samsung has not activated the phones yet. Not sure I buy it. I agree, I think it will be 31st or after

So yeah I was able to get ahold of a corporate executive solutions rep, and this was there response,

So seems like they shipped earlier than expected and are delaying anyone from activating until the 31st, which to me is just sort of dumb as every other carrier is activating them currently with no issues, even Verizon.

The phones activate fine.  My dad got his phone the same day and it is up and running, no issue activating at all.  So, it is some other issue.

@user_do4jzv​ Could be, I also noticed that they are using a 3rd party shipper for these pre-orders called CDTI, which could be the issue for the delay of the orders processing. CDTI is a 3rd party Samsung service center and not an Xfinity mobile warehouse. So could be shipping info delayed between parties. In prior preorders, they came from Xfinity Mobile warehouses and not via 3rd party.

After further investigation, and talking to a contact at Samsung, seems Xfinity Mobile is the only carrier on a pre-order lockout. They don't have access to the IMEI database for the S24 line until the 31st, you can sim swap, but will run into issues with calling, texting, and VM, though data seems to be working using the apn. Reason why folks are having issues with activating the unlocked S24s as well on Xfinity Mobile. XM needs to advise its customers of this, as I have seen on multiple discussions a lot of folks are jumping ship to other carriers now.

Activating had been on for more than 30 minutes. It is taking too long to activate. Does the Galaxy S24 Ultra take long to activate? Can anyone tell me what the problem is, please?
