Cancellation of Samsung Galaxy S III pre-orders supported

For those 'just-in-case' scenarios... once again, cancellation of pre-orders will be supported. This is partly in response to the problem earlier today.

  • Requests to Cancel Pre-Orders in Fulfillment Hold for the Samsung Galaxy III will be supported.

  • Escalations is supporting cancellations of pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S III devices until the window of opportunity to cancel expires.


Window of Opportunity:

  • The window of opportunity is the time period customers have to cancel pre-orders and is determined by warehouse activities.

  • The window closes when inventory is received by the warehouse and preparations begin for order shipment.

  • Once the window closes, the opportunity for customers to cancel their pre-order ends and no further cancellations can be supported.

  • This can cause customers to be dissatisfied, and must be explained in terms of warehouse limitations


While pre-order cancellations are being supported:

  • OS specialists:

    • Until further notice, transfer customers wishing to cancel a Pre-Order for the Samsung Galaxy S III, per existing documentation, to Escalations/Help Desk.



  • Escalations specialists:

    • Follow existing process to support requested Cancellations.

    • DO NOT force the order to cancel, but instead wait for the system to complete either a successful (order falls to ACA) or unsuccessful cancellation (order falls to AEQ) and then follow existing processes through to completion





  • After the window of opportunity to cancel has passed:

    • For ESCALATED scenarios ONLY, where customers threaten legal action or continued escalation, engage your Vendor Manager and Program Manager.
