[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mark925:
What about the EIP? Do you have to buy it outright from the T-Mobile store then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
looks like they're truly sticking to the first come first serve criteria because i ordered mine after you.. glad they're pushing them out. pllllllease send mine today t mobile lol I HAVE NO PHONE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmengis6:
sad

I ordered mine little pass mid night this morning. Idk when ima get mine. This feeling sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
Nope, because I ordered at 9:10am central on the 18th, 3 day shipping.. and I haven't received any shipping info yet. So they aren't doing it in order.

I ordered a black one, in case that matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
There shipping next day first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spridell:
Just got it about 2 minutes ago.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
Yeah, I'm getting a little upset regarding the preorder fiasco (ordered the 19th)... I'm military and will be leaving on Thursday from NY to San Diego PERMANENTLY, never to return to NY State, chose overnight shipping for a reason considering the release date. Yet I've spoken with them via chat and telephone...Guy on the phone say's he doesn't think it will ship until the 7th, chat rep say's she can't really tell me anything...REALLY ???? Pretty frustrated at this point.... Is it worth canceling service and switching providers, probably not, but there's a little angry voice in my head that really wants me to about now...Seriously, how hard is it to let someone know where the product is in the pipeline that they've ordered ?? Ridiculous...

But if the rep that said the 7th is correct, people are going to start flipping out..just a heads-up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] glensta:
Called T-mobile this morning 9:00a P.S.T., still shows back ordered for csr said they do show though it will ship on 10/7 and I should have it by 10/10 (I chose regular shipping not overnight)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ruffryder281:
For those of you wanting to cancel, by now its a bit to late it took one week for me to cancel my preorder, After several calls to customer service my phone order was finally cancelled, i will be walking in the store tomorow morning and getting the phone there, I will save $ on shipping charges.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Diablohtr:
What comes in the box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
No they are not. I got my order confirmation at 8AM MST on the 18th, which is before others including this person you are replying to,...and mine has not shipped and still shows backorder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmengis6:
Anyone ordered yesterday or today?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jnox87:
Good Luck with that! My order took 10 tries to cancel and it finally did yesterday. NOW here is the problem. Your EIP is tied up

and unless somehow magically they speed up the process of making sure your EIP is not tied up your screwed. How did you do your cancellation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
odd they'd ship the over nights first and the standards after... receiving on release day was the goal (at least i thought)... and i thought it was first come first serve.. mine should ship in line with my order.. over night or not ya know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
How's the Tmob coverage in Las Vegas...I'll technically be stationed out of San Diego, but my ultimate place of duty will be Nellis AFB, I'll be living in Northwest Vegas, a little north of Summerlin I think is the name..?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
At this point my guess is the Next Day folks have orders being shipped from a different facility than us 2-4 day shipping folks. The Next Day facility got their orders out yesterday ahead of the 2-4 day shipping facility. Who knows though...

...

I ordered before jayroam (quoted below) and he got tracking info. I'm not complaining anymore, just saying on how weird their shipping has been. Definitely not first come first serve basis.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spridell:
Mine was shipped last night from KY at 4am

Arrived in NY this morning at 6am

Got it at my house at 12:00pm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmengis6:
I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S4 and I get full bar/4g LTE. Its pretty fast. Better than most carriers out here. I'm in summerlin area. You will be good bud.

BTW my boy is MP at Nellis AF base.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bp328i:
I got tired of the 15 different answers I was getting from T-Mobile so I just called a cancelled my pre-order and I'm going to the store first thing in the morning.

I asked about the EIP and was told it is not tied to the pre-order until it ships. I was also given a cancellation number to take with me in case there is a problem.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I had next day until I just cancelled it so....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xIvanx:
I ordered mine yesterday, now it's in backorder. How long do I have to suffer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
Honestly at this point you'd just be better off throwing a dart. The CSRs, stores, and early shipping progress seem to have no rhyme or reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rchapoteau:
So my first order was placed on Saturday. I got called yesterday telling me that that order had been cancelled for some weird reason and I needed to re-order, which i did. I got a weird error email saying that there was an error and I needed to call in. I called in and they assured me that everything was fine. I got another email 2 mintues after hanging up saying that there was an error on the same order. I called right back in again and they assured me that everything was fine and that my order had gone to shipping.

So I called in today because I was unable to see the status of my order online. Apparently my order was cancelled again after all. Once again they couldn't tell me why. I'm just going to go to the store tomorrow (unless someone knows a place where they are selling them now in the NYC/NJ area) and pick it up in the morning.

This isn't making a good first impression on the company for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
I'd be surprised if your Saturday order would ship this week. I suggest calling your local stores now to see if they've got any inventory and if it's substantial. You probably want to see if they are maintaining a hold list and ask to be put on it. Hopefully stores in your area get a bunch since the population density is so high. Perhaps asking how the S4 launch went for them would give some insight; one of my local stores said it took them a week to sell out of the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rchapoteau:
My local store told me they had a lot in both colors so I'm not worried about that at least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Cresho:
local store says they have it, won't be sold until tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xIvanx:
Quick update, Backorder status is showing because the phone is supposed to be released tomorrow, not today. An update will be displayed tomorrow morning. CSR at T-Mobile says.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aka757:
Does that mean those of us that haven't gotten tracking information will get our phones shipped tomorrow?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xIvanx:
She didn't say and didn't want to promise anything but she asked if I wanted to get an SMS message the second there is an update to my order. If you are inpatient like me, Call them and ask to be updated as soon as there is an update.

I am hopping that It ships before 12am so that we can get it tomorrow (overnight UPS)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] s_snk3:
wth ppl already have the phone!!!! where is mine tmo?? :confused:

as long as i get it before Saturday is all good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spridell:
It is very possible for those of you who did overnight will still get your phones tomorrow.

My phone shipped out from KY very early this morning at 4am and I still got the phone at my house this morning. I never got a shipping email T-mobile. I got an email from UPS.

Those who did regular shipping if they ship out tonight could still get it by Thursday or Friday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mohan_kr:
Do you have a ODIN screenshot, I would like to cancel my order if the bootloader is locked :). Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hd2Raz:
Called a local Tmo store. They are in stock both black and white. But only for sale tomorrow. Now, should I cancel my online order and go there first thing when they open. decisions, decisions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
thats what im looking into now... my local store has stock.. only about 6 though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aka757:
I'm weighing the same options right now. If I don't get a tracking number by tomorrow evening (or if it says that the estimated delivery date is after this Sunday), I'm just going to go to a T-Mobile store after work and pick one up. I'll cancel later by refusing the shipment if it comes down to that.

I doubt that you'll need to go right when they open though, they should have enough stock for at least a few days (at least I would hope so).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hd2Raz:
Ya I would think they have enough, But it's down the street from work so I can be there when they open. I'm thinking if tomorrow when I wake up the tracking info is not yet avail, I'll call in and cancel and head to the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
Trying to make sure that the T-Mobile systems wont cause a problem with me upgrading my account if i go into the stores being as though i made the order online... looking for my bank to release my money first and then pick it up in the AM

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

they're sayng a cancellation could take up to 24 to 48 hours (usually) so im not even going to take the chance. people wonder why we're so anxious and hype about this PHONE.... well.. im a tech geek and i looooooooove some new Android devices lol the note 2 was amazing and im sure this will be even better (barring i can deal with the speaker quality)... so yeah.. im happy as a lil kid exciting about new toys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] muqali:
They could avoid a lot of this cluster**** if they let people preorder online then redeem that at a local store. Sure it might strain the supply locally, but we did preorder, screw walk ins.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mark925:
Or they could ship the preorders to the store and then include additional stock for walk-ins.

Also, for those wondering if their's is on the way or not you can go to UPS's website and track by reference number: http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PriNav

For the Shipment Reference number, use the ten digit phone number of the account getting the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bp328i:
This makes great sense.

I called my two local stores and between them they have 50 Note III's in stock. What kills me is how in the world could T-Mobile mess up the pre-orders this bad. I mean who wants to pre-order and then have to wait past launch day to get their phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mark925:
I don't see why they don't do that type of thing where you can just pick up your preorder in store if you order by a certain date. It would probably also save T-Mobile on shipping costs as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
went by a local TMobile kiosk and they have it but only in black - meh

Called an official store and they only have it in black now, but have white in transit. Said to call after 3pm today to find out if they arrived. Did not expect a line, but will be busy in the morning as this phone has a lot of hype.

Will just go when they open hoping there are not many like me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
Ok this is just pissing me off. I was so patient until I seen a bunch of peeps getting tracking numbers. I just want my freaking CC charged lol! Mine better ship today because I'm getting uber jelly lol...

lmaoooooooo Uber Jelly!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fastrx:
When did you order?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
The 19th at 10am
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sactownsav:
I ordered the 18th 730 am Pacific, got an estimated delivery of 09/24, thats what it still says as of right now.

White in color, UPS Ground, still no tracking # and its killing me inside lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stepinmyworld:
well feel a little better.. my order was on the 18th at 5pm EST.. they've charged my card but it's a pending transaction.. the charge has not been deducted from my account completely and no tracking has been provided as of yet... I can't lie and say I'm patiently waiting because im not! lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shynn27:
do u have any idea how to root the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. Nice phone as well not as high tech as the note 3 but I'm loving the big screen.

Tmobile Note 2 ♡°♡ Unlock At&T Mega 6.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vasahond:
Ok; let's get this straight:

1. You are asking about the Galaxy Mega International in the Galaxy Note 3 section.

2. The Galaxy Note 3 hasn't even been officially released in the US, let alone rooted.

3. Since it isn't the same phone, it is improbable that the method to root the Note 3 would be able to be utilized to root the Mega.

4. This is the pre-ordering thread for the Galaxy Note 3!

5. You are asking about a AT&T phone in a T-Mobile section.

/facepalm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lse4:
I ordered the 26th @ 4:00 AM my card been charged but still says pending and no tracking number yet

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vasahond:
My card has likewise been charged. Pre-ordered on the 18th; UPS ground. No tracking information yet. What gives, T-Mobile? I thought this was a "first come, first serve" basis?

Mine just arrived!

***Excuse you. First of all I was addressing 'stepinnyworld' since he spoke on being a 'tech'. Secondly you don't have to be rude I'm very aware of what thread I posted my conversation to a certain individual. Third don't speak unless spoken too.*** Thank you very much for your UNNEEDED & RUDE concerns. As I see I made my comment quoting 'stepinmyworld' no one else.

Exact same here, ordered on the 18th and chose ground shipping. No tracking info. I think they are shipping the next day air orders first before the ground shipping orders, which doesn't really make sense to me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mark925:
I had ordered on the 18th. It still says backordered so I just called T-Mobile asking about it. They confirmed the status was still backordered and didn't know when mine would ship. So I asked for a cancellation and that I would just pick it up in store. Lucky for me they went ahead and put in a cancellation request (even with the EIP). It will take 24-48 hours to process. If by chance it ships before the request is processed they said just refuse it. They also said I can go in and get the phone in store tomorrow and just re-open a new EIP with no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Medic97:
I'm not agreeing with how he spoke about your post. However, your response is equally as rude. This is a community and any comment can be answered by ANYONE. If you wanted a private chat then PM the person. You also cannot get upset when you post about a different phone in another forum, Its called trolling and ppl really dont like it and respond badly to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
Yes. This is a message board. You should know that whenever someone is quoted the conversation becomes private. This is how message boards have operated since never. :)

As a side note I am 2-4 day shipping and I received tracking 2 hours ago. Doesn't show much, just in KY right now.

I have been trying all day to get a pre-order in and haven't been able to. Called many times and its an issue on their side.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xboxhacka:
Well I finally preordered it but they said the only way to do it was to add another line.

They told me they are not able to do preorders as a upgrade. So to upgrade I would have to wait till Oct-2 to be able to order the phone.

The lady told me to just add the line then I would be able close the other line when I get the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mattlgroff:
I guess that's one way to do it!

I'm pretty much just gonna have to wait for the 2nd of October from what I've been told on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boshindo:
I was on the verge of ordering over the phone but the rep gave me a not so good answer in regards to SIM unlocks. He said I would have to pay in full for the device, which I was gonna do anyway, AND wait 40 days before I could request an unlock. It made me nauseous. Weird how my paid in full purchase means I still won't have full ownership of the device.

I may just order via negrielectronics. They have it for a bit less than Tmo but I hear the warranty isn't included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Meanee:
What is that Sim Starter Kit bullcrap I have to purchase? I have a never used T-Mobile Nano-SIM already, for an iPhone that I had to activate...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mattlgroff:
You can't preorder on the phone anyway for T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cheapshot789:
Hey guys I don't know what's going on with you guys and the pre order but I placed a pre order online first thing this morning around 8 a.m. central as and upgrade on one of my lines and it went trough and it even gives me an estimate ship date of 9/26.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boshindo:
Yeah I never got to the ordering point after the rep told me about the sim unlock. Negrielectronics only has the black one and Mobilecityonline in chinatown only has the international version. Tomorrow I'll check the Tmo store two blocks away to see when they're getting it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] clninja:
Would you rather pay a $10 SIM start kit fee or a $39( including tax ) activation fee? Take the lower cost and stop complaining.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
thats rude and quite an irrational response to an illogical mandatory purchase. what is our world coming to :eek::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] muqali:
Neither. Sell me the fscking phone, I'll pull my SIM from my S4(or whatever other device I have it in) and use it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] clninja:
irrelevant response as you don't get charged the SIM starter kit fee on upgrades only on new activations.

People will complain about anything. Complaints about the $40 activation fee so they get rid of it and instead charge a $10 activation fee ( renamed SIM starter kit ) and people still complain when they are saving $30
