Um.... not sure who you're referring to but I was just stating my experience. I didn't make any threat, b@$!h and moan, or write an excessively long post complaining about other ppl.

Anyway back to the topic at hand. ... still no shipping confirmation. (Btw that isn't a complaint, just a statement)

Unable To Cancel Pre-Order This Morning

I take this as a good sign since I'm apparently past the point of no return. I decided I could wait until Friday to get the Note 3 in store so this morning I hit the "Cancel Preorder" button on my Order Status page. I was then asked to confirm which I did. Then I got an email asking me to confirm the cancellation via a link which I also did. I was warned that sometimes they are unable to cancel and that I would be notified by email if that was the case. Three minutes later I got an email titled " Preorder Not Canceled" telling me that my recent request to cancel was unsuccessful. I take this to mean that my shiny, new GNote 3 is sitting in a warehouse somewhere along with the rest of yours with the shipping labels already on them, ready to go. I really feel at some point today, replies are going to come flooding in from everyone on here saying they finally have a tracking numbers.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] americasteam:
Yeah, they can only do orders for phones that are already released. It's noted on my account that they can only do it over the phone. When my local Corp store sees this, they won't override. Stinks, but what can you do?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scoot05redss:
I placed my order in store and was told to look for the expected date on my confirmation email. Which said Sept.11th-13th. Then I called in and was again told that date. It's not that the date was erroneous, it's the fact that it's been over 2 weeks since that date, it hasn't updated, and I can't get a solid answer from anyone. It's my privilege to complain over inept handling of a situation! If on the 14th someone had said, I'm sorry, it will be shipping out on the first and you will have it by the 4th, there would be no complaints. But here on the magical 10/1 date you love, I still can't get a answer on yes it will ship today or not!

it' already 1130am in East coast!

anyone able to call or buy one at bestbuy or att stores yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
If someone had a Note 3 in hand, you think he or she would be on here writing in the "AT&T Shipping" thread? Or perhaps getting into and looking at the phone? I know what I would be doing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ddenson:
The in-store release date is Friday, 10/4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Glad I held off on ordering while I followed this "pre-order" mess. It sounds like nobody will have this phone before Friday.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usersony:
My status just changed to Pending Shipment

My status just changed to "Pending Shipment" from "Preparing to Ship", and I pre-ordered the same day pre-orders went live.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-mack:
Totally agree with you, we have every right to complain. My order still says ship date 9/11-9/13 I've called after those dates and was told by ATT that it will ship shortly. I don't know about those who are saying not to complain, but in my world shortly is not 3 weeks. If I told a client I would have something to him shortly and then I sent it 3 weeks later I would lose a client. The fact is in my belief that I was lied to several times regarding this matter and it is my right to complain how I see fit. Deep down did I know it probably wasn't going to ship until the 1st? Probably. Still doesn't change my belief that I was lied to.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
Thanks for the update. I wonder what the difference is, if it still isn't "shipping" lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] choboii:
Everyone should call ATT and complain and threaten to switch companies. If we get enough people, maybe they'll be forced to overnight ship everyones who preordered.. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sukiaki96:
I say just give it till 5pm est, if nothing has shipped yet then try and be patient till tomorrow. I'm pissed off to all hell about it not being shipped yet but coming from an iPhone and knowing how long it takes to get those shipped out if you didn't order in the first few minutes and waiting three weeks+ for the phone this isn't as bad, still defeats the purpose of pre-ordering :rolleyes:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-mack:
Just wondering has anybody had their acct charged for the phone? They definitely won't be shipping until they charge us. So I guess that's the place to look...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] coskevin:
It was charged in full 3 weeks ago.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] daddioj:
my status changed t prepare for shipment. my the simcard says processing for whatever that means. it it does not ship today I will be pissed. I paid for overnight as well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redpill2016:
They might have put a temporary charge on there three weeks ago to make sure it would clear but they should have taken it off. They don't charge your card until they ship. Make sure they didn't charge you twice though :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dscline:
No, I've checked my account multiple times today, nothing yet. My status also hasn't changed (still pre-order processing, exp. ship 9/11-9/13). FWIW, I ordered 9/6 around 7AM eastern.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jeffdroid361:
I have been charged for mine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sobczak927:
Not to be the "hater" in the group but I hope those of you who preordered get them Thursday at the earliest...Friday morning at the latest for the following reasons:

1. I didn't preorder knowing that it was just a way of "reserving" your phone...not a way to get it before the rest of us.

2. Don't think I didn't know about this phone, I gave my wife my March '13 upgrade (hers was eligible for upgrade 8/29/13) KNOWING this phone was coming late summer and would take a while to be "available"

3. Because I'm using her IPhone line I would have to change data plans (no biggy) to order online and then call once i received the phone to revert the IPhone line back to an IPhone data plan

4. How many people are actually going to line up at the store for this phone...you had to assume each store would have at least a dozen or so on hand.

This will be the 5th Samsung device in a row I've been intrigued in and ready to buy. Original Galaxy, Galaxy s2 (purchased a few days after release luckily and when the LTE version came out like 32 days...yes 2 days after day one buyers exchange limitation ran out), s2 skyrocket (in the Philly market and waited patiently for about a year for LTE to light up around here, Note 2 for my dad, and now the Note 3 for myself.

We all need to realize that we're getting screwed every way to Sunday and just accept the fact they're ALL like this. I'm pissed off that at the phone announcement they said US gets it in Oct...poor strategy on their part since initial claims for 10/1, and they lied...might as well said late September. Pissed that ATT's homepage said ships 10/1 then when you logged in to actually preorder it says ships "on or around 10/1" INITIAL HINTS OF POTENTIAL LIES. And now, they will be shipping preorders while in stores has them in stock?!

Maybe we should all stop preordering and just line up at stores? We'd probably all be playing with our Note 3s right now. ATT probably would have had more than enough in stores for everyone who wasn't lazy and got there when the doors opened. We would have gotten a firm date way in advance. ATT would have lost money by not having enough in a few stores and too many in others

TL;DR go home you're drunk it's worth the read. Sorry for the poor grammar
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wdkingery:
well this has been haphazardly orchestrated. I too have not been shipped. or charged. I guess if neither changes by Friday I'll cancel and go fight with the local corp ATT store.

And i do mean fight; they have taken on a new vulture-like approach of pulling up your account and trying to make SOME change.. doesn't matter what. You cannot walk in to my local store just to play with a phone; you will quickly be seated at a bar-height table and have your account pulled up in hopes of putting you on the shared data or NEXT or whatever change they can make.

I walked in 7 weeks ago and said "i'm here to get a Galaxy S4." and no **** the guy said: "Ok great! Meet Sam, he's our phone specialist that will help you pick a phone."

Wait what? Were you listening?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] s3ntrax:
ordered mine a while ago, it saying Preparing to Ship right now.

Current ship date on the site is 10/01/13 - 10/02/13*. I paid for overnight shipping so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gunnnnzzz:
just read on a few websites that the official release date is the 4th...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] weirdingway:
well that's my birthday so a nice present if I get it by then
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
I'm starting to think that I won't get my phone before they are released this Friday in the stores. I have a feeling it will come like next Monday or maybe even Tuesday. I hope I'm wrong.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jmahaffey:
I just spoke with an AT&T supervisor who assured me that mine would be shipped today. I had no luck trying to get overnight shipping though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redpill2016:
Interesting, thanks. Did he make it sound like he was doing that for you because you *****ed enough, or that most/all of them are going out?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jeffdroid361:
I pre-ordered the Galaxy S4 and it was in my hands before the release in the stores. I assume that they will do the same with the Note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jmahaffey:
I have not complained much so I doubt thats the reason......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheaptech4u:
Just got off the phone with att and have good news!!! They told me that most of the preorders aee shipped and this evening, around 5pm-8pm, they should upload the tracking number. Someone from high up told me. Can't wait :)

P.S. im not lying about the upgrade. I can actually upgrade my phone and they even will price match tmobiles price for me. So I save a $100.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redpill2016:
Damn I hope you are right!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheaptech4u:
Yeah me too. This is atts last chance.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gaprince:
i got off the phone with two different reps and they told me that my phone sould be here tomorrow
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gpino001:
Just checked order status page..got a maintenance page instead, saying experiencing tech difficulties..hmm..could mean something
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dscline:
I would have THOUGHT that they would have had to re-authorize the transaction, since the original authorization has expired, but no pending charges showing up on my card yet. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
indeed. It means people are pounding the crap out of the order status page, lol The more people bombard the site the slower the updates post - and you all know that when you are waiting for something milliseconds COUNT! :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] stinkyg:
I just called AT&T and they assured me it will ship out tomorrow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-mack:
4 different phone calls 4 different answers.... Sounds like ATT just keeps telling stories to their customers.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bkeaver:
This is why I do not understand why people continue to call them. If you read through this thread the 1 consistent thing from the first post to the last is the inconsistency of what each rep tells people. I just have conformed from the day I preordered that it will arrive when it arrives...

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] stinkyg:
I agree with you, some answers and honesty would be nice get sick of this run around crap.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
I don't understand how no one at AT&T knows when a top of the line product they're selling and taking pre-orders for will actually ship. It's just stupid that there's not one concrete answer. Even if they said they won't ship out until the 5th at least that would be a definitive answer. This wishy washy crap is just unprofessional.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bkeaver:
Because the people you talk to don't have anything to do with that part of the sale. Is handled by a different site under different management. Where I work I dont necessarily know what another part of my departments deadlines are. And yes I am in a customer service environment.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jammol:
It's not lying when the Rep reads what the system says. Besides, what did they lie about? Nothing at all. It clearly stated when ordered that the phone WOULD NOT be shipped until October 1st.

Just because a bunch of people let the excitement get to their heads when they saw it said shipping Sept (insert number here) BECAUSE they didn't read where it clearly said Oct 1st for shipping before they even clicked on the Pre-Order button, doesn't mean AT&T lied to them. <---It would suck to read that out loud!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zerocool5878:
As I was reading the replies here I actually thought at first people were joking around pretend crying like a 5 year old because they didn't get what they wanted. For the love of god give it a rest. They will ship your phone when they get to it. If you don't like it, there is a nice shiny blue button that labeled "Cancel Preorder". Please feel free to click it and go to the store so mine can ship in place of yours. I really thought that this was a thread where people would communicate when their device ships, tracking info, what state their device is in, etc. Do any of you even realize that you sound like little whining spoiled girls?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gaprince:
Congrats!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scoot05redss:
That's awesome! Hopefully a sign of things to come for the rest of us!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheaptech4u:
What shipping did you use?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-mack:
Hmmm really my order page clearly states that my order will ship 9/11-9/13 and today is 10/01 doesn't sound truthful to me in other words a lie. I've called several times and been told several different things... So somebody must be telling a lie... Does ATT not have company email? They have no way to contact their csr's to give them the correct info to tell their customers. If 10 people in the same company all tell you 10 different things about a certain topic, they all didn't make a mistake...

I could care less if I get the phone in November I just want a firm answer not the lies they are telling us....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jammol:
It is a glitch in the system. The ship that you all received is because of how long it would normally take the transaction and shipping handling to process. There is no way around it in terms of making it correct. They haven't even received all the phones yet to their warehouse. It was supposed to be today but it's actually being pushed to tomorrow. If you check the site you'll see Oct 2nd. That's because they have only received a very small amount, which is why very few have received tracking numbers today. Whenever you pre-order anything, always expect your package to ship 3-4 days prior to the official release of the device, because you're supposed to get your device in the mail the same day it's officially released.

Same thing happened with the Nexus 4; everyone got butt hurt because they didn't get it early like if they are entitled to it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tmb993:
I preordered in store and I didn't ask for any special shipping, so its just whatever standard shipping they include for free. However I was the first to preorder at my AT&T corporate store. They didn't even know you could preorder the phone yet and I had to show them. Haha.

Lol, relax people. They can't ship something they don't have enough of yet.

By the way, you guys do know the Government pretty much just shut down today right?! That's actually going to affect A LOT of things, including shipping companies such as the USPS. Even UPS and Fedex are letting people go right now because of the Obama Care Plan situation going on. And no I'm not trying to turn this into a political debate. I'm just stating the reasons for the delays in everyone getting their brand new future Babies!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tmb993:
Honestly, you had to know it was bad information. I got the same confirmation email that said 9/11-9/13 from the second I preordered. Being that the phone had only just passed through the FCC around the 9th and Samsung didn't actually start selling the phone till the 25 it wouldn't be too hard to figure out. Then there's the fact the AT&T site said Oct 1 from the get go. Really it was all very elementary, my dear Watson.

Did you pay for overnight shipping?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
You see this is the type of thing that really annoys me. How does an AT&T corporate store or any AT&T store not know you can pre-order a flagship device? How is that possible? What else are they doing that a major event like that is not known amongst the staff? That's just not normal.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scoot05redss:
I did not, I also pre ordered in store and got the free shipping! I'll update you guys when it ships and I see a delivery date.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gaprince:
mine just changed as well. it also has the shipping company that will be delivering it
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mickeywdw1254:
I'm guessing they are doing what they did with the s4 and sending out all the regular shipping method orders first and overnight orders last so everyone gets them on the same day which defeats the purpose of overnight shipping.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gaprince:
my order is an overnight order.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mickeywdw1254:
Well just mess up my theory why don't you?! Jk maybe they aren't pulling the s4 scam again.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
The "Almighty AT&T" Do you think the the rep making $7 an hour wants to hear your bellyaching about something he or she has a) no control over, and b) no information other than what the folks that do the shipping post online on his or her system. Do you want them to make calls over to the warehouse when they are likely prohibited from doing so? I definitely understand your frustration, and being "Lied to" doesn't help when all you want is info. But unfortunately AT&T, and T-Mobile, and Best Buy and ALL of these companies are NOT set up for flood calls on something that is going exactly as they set it up, and to the best of the workers ability. Should they be able to update your order with a correct date, Hell yes, Should they be able to tell you when it will ship? Only to the degree that they get updates. Should they tell you when it DOES ship? Yes, and they will, via e-mail. Not only are these flood calls not helping, there are customers with REAL problems that now have endless hold times because folks want to hassle the wrong people. Does the guy at the convenience store know why gas prices are up?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] weirdingway:
While I definitely agree that no one is lying over there I do think warehouses should be better equipped to provide up-to-date information digitally (i.e. no phone calls). The support rep should have more information to provide you. Customers are left in the dark until the last nanosecond practically and that's terrible. People like Amazon know what they are doing.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-mack:
Wow you're way late on replying to this... Lol... When did i ever say i complained to them? In fact i told them i know its not there fault. The bottom line is that ATT should inform their employees what is going on regarding their biggest phone sale of the year (android any way).

Also if they are only making $7 an hour they should move to california minimum wage will be $10 an hour.
