U.S. Customers Report Shipping Delays for the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

Some U.S. buyers of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra are now facing delays in shipping and delivery, even though the tablet has been officially released. The problem appears to affect both pre-orders and recent orders placed through major retailers and Samsung’s own online store.

One buyer noted that their order status remained as “processing” far longer than expected, with no updated estimated ship date. Another user checked with customer support and was told the delay was due to higher-than-anticipated demand. In many cases, the delay is for several days to over a week.

Retailers seem to be weighed down by supply chain challenges. Reports indicate that certain storage variants—especially higher capacity models—are in limited stock. This scarcity is causing longer lead times for fulfillment. Buyers expecting immediate shipping may find some orders pushed back.

It’s not just availability that’s causing setbacks: logistical issues are also contributing. Some customers report that the courier or delivery partners have not yet picked up devices due to shipping center delays or internal inventory miscounts. Especially in regions outside major metro areas, shipping timelines are extending.

Samsung appears to be responding by sending order status updates, but many customers complain those updates are vague, lacking clear new dates. Some are choosing to cancel orders or move to in-person retailer pickups to avoid unpredictable wait times.

Despite these hiccups, most users seem to accept that delays are part of major hardware launches. Early feedback suggests the delays are frustrating but not unusual for a device of this scale and interest. For many, the priority remains getting the device in hand, regardless of delayed fulfillment.
