Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has already started shipping Galaxy S III units to those who pre-ordered the device, ahead of the smartphone’s official landing on its network on July 10.

Some lucky Verizon customers already started receiving confirmation on the phone’s arrival at their doorsteps, and the process is expected to expand to all of them fast.

In fact, rumor has it that Verizon might be set to push all pre-ordered Galaxy S III units to users’ hands as soon as this week, since they are being informed on their shipment’s arrival on July 5 or 6.

Hopefully, the wireless carrier will have enough units in stock to honor the reserved units and to support the big launch next week.

It should also be noted that Verizon appears to be the last major US carrier to add the Galaxy S III to its offering. T-Mobile and Sprint launched it, while AT&T will have it on July 6.
