In Europe, customers who pre-ordered the Galaxy S26 series are scheduled to start receiving their devices from March 6, 2026. However, at least one buyer in the region has already received theirs ahead of schedule.

On Reddit, Boris499 claims that on February 27, they received the Galaxy S26 Ultra that they had pre-ordered, seven days before the official delivery date. The user also shared photos of the device, confirming the early arrival.

This isn’t the first time a pre-ordered Galaxy smartphone has reached a customer earlier than Samsung’s stated delivery window. That said, we don’t recall a case where a device arrived almost a full week in advance. Considering that only one person received an early delivery, it looks like Samsung may have shipped the device early by mistake.

If that sounds surprising, it’s worth noting that in Dubai, some retailers reportedly began selling the Galaxy S26 Ultra nearly three days before Samsung officially unveiled it. Either way, these early deliveries suggest that Samsung’s supply chain is running smoothly and that most customers should receive their devices on time.
