Just Confirmed Delivery

couldn't sleep so I decided to give one more try at tracking down my phone. Both the premier website, via the link in my order confirmation email, and the regular at&t website show it as processing. I went to this website: https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/ and it is marked as shipped with a FedEx tracking number. FedEx website shows item as picked up @ 11.29 PM from Fort Worth, Texas. It is scheduled to be delivered on Friday, by 4:30 PM. I ordered on 11/2 via the website which was offering free FedEx 2 day shipping at that time. I still have yet to receive a confirmation email from AT&T. It is an upgrade, and I have been a customer since 2003. I'm not sure if any of this info will help anyone as there does not seem to be any logic to their shipping system. For anyone who hasn't received shipping confirmation, you are now one phone closer. I wish you all well. I'll see you within the community! ~Aspidites73 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayandreas:
BAM!!! After reading your post, I used the link and lo and behold a fed ex tracking number! Thank God! Good night everyone. I hope we all have our notes in hand no later than friday. Enjoy and happy flashing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
Woot, I just got my order status saying it was shipped & will be getting it tomorrow. I placed the order with a CS Rep yesterday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hyjkim:
My phone is also marked as shipped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aimfire72:
Not at all happy with mine being shipped via USPS... the tracking system is not the greatest and it doesn't show anything about ETA.

Right now, all it's showing me is that the package was accepted in Fort Worth on Nov. 7.... no idea if it will arrive on the 9th.

If by Friday morning, the tracking has still not been updated with a delivery date, I'm going to AT&T store and buy it in person - and then return the shipped phone when it eventually gets here. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tacotino:
Have mine. Its ****ing amazing!! They keyboard is sick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohRonaldo:
Here is some info for those shipped via USPS

I have a 22 digit "tracking number" from AT&T for my USPS shipment. There is no such thing!

The only label with 22 digits is Delivery Confirmation for Priority Mail.

So AT&T has boldly lied to us saying that we would get a "tracking number."

Here is a link to the different formats of "extra services" from the Post Office. Scroll down about half way to find the table of label formats:

http://faq.usps.com/eCustomer/iq/us...usps0301d]&varset(source)=sourceType:embedded

This also answers the question about what type of shipping AT&T used: Priority Mail.

Feel free to give some "Thanks" for this post please .. it took me quite a while to find it. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scythe024:
USPS has the worst tracking ever. There's many times that I don't get any update at all from them before my shipment arrives or it always shows me a invalid tracking number. This is a possibility. Mine was sent via Fedex
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aimfire72:
And here is another one, that lists all of the different formats:

http://hdusps.esecurecare.net/cgi-bin/hdusps.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1125&&p_sid=kY

Mine starts with 9101... which according to the chart, just means it has "delivery confirmation"... big deal.

It's definitely not an Express Mail (overnight) package though - those start with "EA"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
I have to say, I've had great experience with Priority Mail, don't get so worked up - we will all have our phones by Friday if they shipped on the 7th. Wouldn't surprise me to find it out there today. We'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohRonaldo:
Thanks Reinbeau,

I hope you're right!

I'm out west here near Framingfish now, but I grew up in Milton. You nearby?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Mine updated on this website last night sometime:

https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status

All of the other status pages still show preorder pending. Will be here Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Don't remember seeing, you fedex or usps? Mine updated too but only added an earlier time of acceptance of 3:47 pm. Latest still show 8:xx pm for going through sorting.

from a galaxy far far away....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kingdombuilder:
Ok finally Mine says Shipped through FedEx and have a tracking number. When I went to the Premier site it still says processing. Just for those curious I pre-ordered on the 25th and I did so through the Att.com store. I'm sure all that have pre-ordered in a timely manner should have confirmed shipping by now. Mine is set to hit my house tomorrow at 4:30pm. It says it was shipped yesterday so it took til today to update the status. It says it was picked up at 11:30 pm last night leaving Fort Worth, TX.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Fedex. Left Fort Worth at 2:11AM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kyan~:
getting mine today. :DDDDd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bc8240:
Same here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blairware:
I feel your pain

All this par for the course on pre-orders these days. the only company able to maintain SOME control over the process is Apple, and even they have had some major snafu's. There are so many dependencies with distribution when you sell 3 million devices in 37 days. Stuff can, and does go wrong.

What hurt the most was that AT&T went from exclusive purveyors of the Note 1 to being next to last in terms of getting the Note 2 into peoples hands. As for "no rhyme or reason" regarding what order people get these that is also SOP, no matter if you are talking Best Buy, AT&T, whoever. Even Amazon had a Pre-Order blow up (Asus Transformer Prime) and had to send apology out for hundred, if not thousands of canceled pre-orders.

If you think this is bad, you missed the Transformer Prime Pre Order. How bad was it? Buy ended up treating me to a Prime AND sent me $50 to boot.Don't count on AT&T doing the same LOL! If pressed AT&T will do

something

for people that got delayed, such as a credit of some type - as long as you don't mind a 45-90 minute call and asking them to "make it right" which really seems quite petty:

"Other people got THEIR TOYS, but I had to wait X # of days to get MY toy. Now give me $100 credit and I will stop crying" I can say this simply because I am one of those obsessive freaks that check status updates constantly & take time from work to go home and snag my Fedex Package from the porch (would YOU feel ok knowing your $800 phone was sitting on your front steps?) So yeah, I am as bad as anyone. Shamefully guilty of gadget gluttony.

By the way, I have an 11/2 Pre-order on the way for tomorrow. Before you direct ALL your hatred at me, know that I had a Pre-order on the 27th, and one on the 29th that I canceled when they took the full amount $320 out of my available balance (debit cards SUCK for Pre-orders) Whats weird is after changing me at one point nearly $900 for 3 separate orders, now it is on the way, and all the holds or whatever have rolled off. and I have NO charge on my account. You can be sure THAT will change. Sigh I have got to get a new passion, like rock collecting. This is too stressful, LOL :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] justanothernoob:
Is it sad that we have 37 pages of worry and maybe a little excitement over this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
The calm before the storm my friend.

I would guess that people (like me) are relieved that it is enroute and can't really do much more until tomorrow, where you will see an influx of excitement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Crystal_619:
I find it funny so many people are complaining about the Postal Service. Where I live in Oklahoma I prefer things being shipped Priority Mail. I seem to get packages in 1-2 days instead of fedex or UPS taking forever. I really don't understand why more people don't use Priority Mail shipping. I know USPS tracking sucks because they don't update as well but you can't beat the delivery times. What I hate is people who ship Fedex-USPS or UPS-USPS, if they would just give it to the Post Office in the first place it would get there a lot faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
I don't care if it's the post office. I just care that they haven't put my tracking number on the site. no idea where it is our when I'll get it, I'm nervous about it being left at my doorstep
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Farley1:
Mine is out for delivery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
and cheaper too! my mailman always deliver around 1030am! other guys sometimes delivery your package at 7pm!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eestevez2:
I'm hoping that if I see the status changed to a local post office I can just go pick it up before the work day. Assuming USPS can update the tracking properly. Anyone think they can get there device today shipped via USPS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayandreas:
where I live UPS sucks! I would choose USPS over them any day. Fed ex is good too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Just got this:

from a galaxy far far away....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
I tend to agree with the folks who prefer USPS over some of the carriers. Sure, the tracking completely sucks. However, at least for me:

USPS delivers on Sat.

USPS delivers in the morning (instead of noonish for fedex and 9pm for UPS)

USPS actually brings a package to my front door and knocks on my door. (UPS/Fedex tends to leave it at random locations on my property - even in the middle of my driveway!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eestevez2:
I did too. Hasn't even left Ft. Worth.... Greeeeat. Let's see.. from Houston its only about a 5 hour drive. I could make it there and back before work is over!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmr169:
I ordered mine on the 5th just three days ago and I'm already set for delivery on the 9th. Fed ex rolls Round bout 9am here so everything works in its own ways don't it? Think they got plenty of phones in stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] modum:
An Admission of Guilt

Wow. This forum has been very interesting to say the least. I ran into this thread on the 7th because AT&T said they were supposed to ship on the 6th (Premier). When that didn't happen I simply wanted to see if anyone had the same concern. After a 24 hour following of these posts I realized: 1) I need to go to the gym more often, 2) Enjoy life and nature and 3) We all need to chill out.

AT&T said it would be delivered on the 9th, and it appears that most of you will receive your order on or before that date. If you ordered late you probably need to plan on going into the store to get yours. Yes there is some hype about this phone, but not like the iPhone (hate iPhone's by the way). You may not have a line.

Anyways I am embarrassed to have continually followed this post, and the anticipation has been distracting to say the least. *Laughing* I got mad at a rep because I actually ordered my phone on the 24th...yes the 24th @ 11:45pm. My brother ordered his on the 30th. I live 10 miles away from the FedEx warehouse where AT&T ships their phones in Ft. Worth. My brother lives in Hawaii. He will receive his phone today. I will have to wait until tomorrow. Logistically it does not make sense, and I shared my 2 cents with the rep. Afterwards, I felt bad because I went off on a helpless rep who had no way of accelerating the delivery process.

After this phone I will need to take a tech break. There are so many things that are more valuable in life. I used to work for a big box electronics store (yep that one) years ago, and I used to ridicule Black Friday customers. It appears that I have become that person. This will all pass, and in a year's time there will be another phone. Most of us will be back doing the same thing again. See Law of Diminishing Returns.

Enjoy your new phones today, tomorrow, or whenever. I will be back in a month or so to snag a ROM, and then after I OD on ROMs I will probably write another soliloquy.

CHEERS

P.S. If you try to go to the FedEx facility they will not release the phone early. You will have to wait for the first delivery attempt.Save yourself the rejection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
I am sure it has already left. Just got that update this morning but the last update time was from last night.

Bad thing for me is i am off today and Saturday but work from 10-8 on the 9th.:( Going to have to find a way to leave and get it off of my porch...

cough cough feeling an illness coming on....:D

from a galaxy far far away....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I just pre-ordered today (Nov 5th) and it still has a proposed date of Nov 9th so in experience it shouldnt be much later then that as the proposed date would be pushed back from the 9th if they were having back orders etc. I just upgraded two other lines on my account also one was a refurbed sIII that I can flip for like 300 to pay for my new note and an Iphone 4 for the wife. Both shipped within one day of ordering and arrived exactly when they were estimated so for all the negative about AT&T their shipping/estimates have always been spot on! As they say "good things come to those who wait!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
The pre orders must have not outpaced their stock if your delivery date is on or before the 9th. Mine is the same and I ordered 11:14 pm October 24.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gubbilo144:
I didn't preorder this time,I'll just go on the launch day.I pre ordered the first note and it was supposed to arrive on or before Feb 17th and I did not end up getting my note until the23rd and I ordered it as soon as per orders were available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
I'm going to do something nice for AT&T call center employees.... I'm going to tell people The Truth.

Tomorrow is the 6th - which is the date that AT&T claimed that they EXPECT to send out the pre-orders.

Even assuming AT&T ships out on the 6th as they currently "expect" to, there's a very high chance that the order status pages won't show that your order has shipped until sometime the morning of the 7th.

If the order status page isn't updated, no one you'll be able to talk to at AT&T will be able to tell you any further information. They might make something up in order to get rid of your call, but they don't know. If they put you on hold to supposedly call the warehouse, you can safely assume that you're on hold while they take other customer calls. (You know they have performance metrics based on the number of calls they take, right?) They'll pick your call back up later and tell you whatever they think you want to hear.

Don't panic. No matter what you say or do, that customer service rep can't make your order ship any faster, nor can they get any more factual information on your order. There's even a good chance that if they TRY to cancel the order, it won't matter. (I did that once and they shipped the phone anyway - along with another one I ordered to replace the one I cancelled.)

It'll ship when it ships.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] buckwheat.phd:
Yea, att fulfillment is - and always has been - in their own world. The pesky customer is the last on their list for satisfaction, way behind att management. Stores get them on the 9th, so once again I ask myself why in hell I ordered it online again. I also ask myself why I stuck w att

My USPS tracking info has updated, and it now shows Priority Mail with an expected delivery date of 11/9. I'll relax now; my phone will be here before my trip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtharp2:
Honestly, watching this thread has been way more fun than watching the election results. Here, no matter who gets their phones the fastest, everyone wins their races. :)

I was too chicken to pre-order, so I am driving to a store on Friday morning. Anyone else going to a store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
I think this thread represents a very serious concern for AT&T.

Why does one of the nation's largest COMMUNICATION companies have such poor communication with customers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Actually, I am the boss so i will go in for a while and then go home sick after i make sure everything is going smoothly. Can't see letting it sit there even though i live in a nice neighborhood. To many kids to be tempted. And i know that it will be put on the porch as that is what they did with my wife's Skyrocket a couple of months ago. Fortunately my oldest son happened to come to my house that day and found it sitting there. Unfortunately he is not an option for tomorrow.

I concur. I actually cancelled my order because I didn't like the built-in uncertainty. I may still get one tomorrow morning if they're available at the store, but it'll depend on the outcome of what my wife and I discuss tonight, which may include switching to T-Mobile pre-paid.

I might have done that anyway and just eaten the return fee, but AT&T made it easier for me.

That's weird, it seems backwards. "Acceptance" means the shipper picked up the package. Usually the Electronic Shipping Info is received before Acceptance, not after.

be sure to PICK Fedex staffs/World Center, NOT kiosk/authorized center.
