From Negri blog:

Update: 10/14/2013 9:42 am PST

As of Friday at 5pm we still had no news from our sources as to when we will receive our next shipment. Based on messages posted on XDA, updating you with that information would have ruined some of your weekends.

While we don’t have specific news, we have reports of more and more stock becoming available. That’s the current issue. If you read some threads about others dealing with T-Mobile you will see what we mean. T-Mobile is hoarding (for lack of a better term) these devices. Since Samsung hasn’t properly fulfilled their orders with T-Mobile, dealers are keeping stock for new Activations or renewals only. In fact, if you call them to see if they have stock, they will tell you yes – unless you tell them you wish to buy it outright. Then they are conveniently “Sold out”.

We have heard from 3 different suppliers that they will have stock in the next 1-2 days. While this isn’t perfect or exact information, it’s better than what we have been hearing in the last 2 weeks – and when this happens, more and more stock will become available.

In the end, I just want you to have your device. If it’s from us, great, if not, as long as you have it and are satisfied, that’s good enough for me. It’s difficult to predict when we will have stock, but at this time it’s safe to say our next shipment will arrive by 10/16. We will likely ship same day – locked – and email you the codes to unlock them once they arrive. It’s just more efficient this way. We will email those orders that are shipped locked, so you are fully aware. Thanks for your patience as always. Have a great rest of the day/week.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
I'd rather they ship it locked, knowing that it's untouched like a newborn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
10/14 please give us some good news this week Negri lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Did you guys that cancelled get any confirmation of cancellation?

EDIT: Just checked because I had not heard from Negri. The cash was released on Friday FYI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gordonzhao:
Yeah I don't know what's going on there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Lol...more bad news from Negri. I sure am glad I cancelled my order and got mine somewhere else ( thank you Swappa) :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
I really can't believe how long I've waited ..........lol.......:fingerscrossed:

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
Wonder if we will see any tracking numbers on XDA today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
trying to forget note3, waiting for 4.3 on my htc1 tmo :))
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 973NY:
Well in the blog update they said the next shipment of inventory they expect to get will most likely be the 16th so I wouldn't hold my breath :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
If i did, i'd be dead already
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 973NY:
You and me both brotha..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
Please cancel ur orders before u guys do that.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
Ha :p I dont think it would help you, i'm on the back end of the orders anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkotoric:
Nice phone thank god I canceled my irder with these jerks

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
where did you pick yours up from? I've been trying to find a decent deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
last week i saw an ad was trying to sell his note3, he took a picture of sticker outside of the box include serial # and imei. Then i found out that imei is for nokia 6680, the old model of back 7-8 years ago lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
You won't have the feature installed in any other version, at least not stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acaibowl:
What?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZ1qS8OuZ8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
T-Mobile wifi calling, I'm sure different carriers have their own thing

sorry for the confusion
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acaibowl:
Thanks for the clarification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwuhua1984:
This is a great deal, I don't know how I missed the $20 off in my e-mail. The phone is already cheaper compared to T-Mo's even without the $20 discount.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
I agree, just that wait is killer. Also dont forget no easy exchanges at a tmobile store if things go wrong. You can still ship it to samsung i believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwuhua1984:
I first saw the deal when searching for deals on Google shopping, and it list Negri as the cheapest. I was rather skeptical because of some of the negatives comments I've seen and the price is just too unbelievable, not to mention the exchange may be a problem like you said. The number of negative reviews are really a small fraction of all reviews. So all this time I've had the item in the shopping cart, but never went on to place the order. Come to think of it, pretty much none of the phones I use personally were purchased through T-Mo or any local retailers. Don't know why I'm worried about the exchanging problem in the first place. Now with $669, it beats T-Mobile by far, T-Mobile totaled up to about $778 due to tax. Got to say I'm very moved, now I just need to get enough funds to actually pay for it. I could pay it off over 6 months using billmelater, but I rather pay off a huge portion of it first then just make smaller payments every month.

Another reason why I didn't order it was because GSMArena didn't give the actual review yet. Now that the review is out today, I will definitely be getting this phone soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mohan_kr:
So, how does one go about buying outside of negri? I want to buy the phone I am not on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Pay retail at a T-Mobile store, some of them won't allow full price purchases yet though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
Just fyi:

I ordered from negri .... could not resist the savings of more than 150 than tmobile...

Here is how

Tmob prepaid plan around 740+ tax + 10 sim + 10 minimum to get started = 820

Tmob jump 708+ tax+ 50 for themfirst month = around 800 + plus hit on credit history.

Both these I have to pay around 25 for unlocking

Negri

689- 20 $ off with coupon - 5% CB with discover card= 640

Down side ... I will havento wait 7-10 more days

Ps: This is just to use tmob on Att
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, my last 4 phones were bought off Craigslist, so I know what you mean about not even worrying about being able to exchange. But Craigslist has become such a place for scams that I skipped getting the Note 2 off of their. I switched to using Swappa. That's where I got two phones for my friends who lost theirs.

The delay from Negri is kinda a pain, but since i'm saving $100 over T-Mobile's price, I guess it's not that big of a deal. And maybe with all of the impatient people cancelling their Negri orders, I might just move up in the line. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acaibowl:
Negri changed the estimate date again...now it says: "Coming Soon".

Going to buy at T-Mobile Store because I can't wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
I placed my order yesterday for the black version when it was saying estimate date 10/4 , cancelled today noon when they changed it to 10/10 (also I really wanted the white one). Now They have the white one in stock but there's no set arrival date.

Hmmmm decisions decisions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Dang! Really!!! ??. WTF!!! This blows...... I didn't use the coupon code so maybe I'll cancel the order and buy it again in a couple of days....:rolleyes:

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
I'm afraid to order another one now before I receive my cancelation confirmation...I also didn't use any coupons. Do you guys think they might charge me for 2?? any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
no, because it won't be in stock within the next day or two

you might get a temporary authorization charge for both but you won't get charged for 2 given the inventory situation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
Yeah, who knows when this will come in to Negri now. I had email them earlier today and they told me they expected it on 10/10, but now it looks like that has even changed. May be awhile to get this deal. Have to decide if it is worth it to me or not or should I just go with ATT version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Bit the bullet and just placed my order. Hopefully we get it before the 12th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Ugh, I don't understand how they could get backed up that badly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Because they're getting their stock through some back channel & each device has to be opened and unlocked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xilosen:
How are you guys able to buy the phone without having to get a prepaid plan and sim card?

Every store I've been to they said they need to activate. If i tell them I have a prepaid plan already they want to know the phone number and all that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Any word on Negri shipping out the stock...?... Very close to 10/16... I hope it rains shipping confirmations soon!!

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
All quite on the front line.... Nothing on the blog either...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
Blog says 10/16 as ship date for almost all...

Lets see..... :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
I'll believe "almost all" when i see tracking numbers, unfoturnately, my expectations are not that high, especially when they have around 300 pre-orders, if they are having issues getting stock, I don't see how they will get 300
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
where does it say "almost all"

only thing the blog post says is that they'll get their next shipment by the 16th
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
It doesn't. I think it must have been optimistic thinking or inference
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
I cancelled mine today, but I only pre ordered on like 10/10 so probably won't help you all on here much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Your no help! Lol...... I don't Blame you..... If I wasn't 9/23 I prob would.......

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
tomorrow is 10/16, negri please give us some good news
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Update: 10/15/2013 2:53pm PST

Stock is on it’s way to our warehouse. After tomorrow we should have more than 65% of all orders shipped! We told you not to worry. Trust in us. We will get everything out to you as quickly as possible. This is great news for those that ordered early. Keep in mind that just because 2 people on XDA forums said they received their item, that doesn’t mean we only shipped 2. ;)

I'm assuming my 10/3 order won't be included in the 65p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
That doesnt sound good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
verizon...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
Sorry about that :)

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Btw Iam waiting for the black n900T also I ordered another one from swappa for $670 but its not unlocked (still can buy unlock code), hopefully its not a scam :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
This is what Ryan Negri told on 10/10/2013

"We will ship all of these orders within the next 10 business days – even if I have to drive to every T-Mobile store and overpay for them myself."

So all orders will be shipped by 10/24/2013:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
i think i will receive note3 on GS5 lauch day :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I'd feel a lot better if I heard that 65% were already shipped and that after tomorrow, 100% would be sent out. Since I ordered mine on 10/3, I am pretty sure mine won't be among tomorrow's orders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
Same day, same feeling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
Ditto. Wish i would have ordered earlier.... Oh well, cross your fingers they make it to 10/3 lol:fingers-crossed:

Also, I hope they continue to get additional shipments for us last minute orderers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
The Galaxy Note 4 will be out by the time you guys get this...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
ok
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Lol....so true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
Seems like iam receiving my swappa phone on thursday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evoforevo:
How much did you pay for it and what color,is swappa safe to buy from. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
safer than craigslist if you purchase from a reputable seller. You can go to swappa and select tmobile. Then click galaxy note 3 and it will show you all the note 3's that have been sold on the site and at what price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
I got mine for $670 black

Iam not sure if its safe or not i will see thursday if I got my phone right :)

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

That guy is trusted seller but I bought mine from someone with no feedback(stupid me)

I believe if u offered him 680 he will go with it he got three of them there now

Good luck

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xilosen:
Anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
I'm on prepaid and they said that I could buy the phone for $740 plus tax, that prepaid did not apply for the $708 price. However, if you start up a new prepaid for one month I think you get the $708 price plus the activation fee and cheapest prepaid maybe $740-750 plus tax so you could just do that if you don't have a prepaid account to use, then let it expire after a month and take it to whatever other plan/provider you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
For me, my carrier is Simple mobile (prepaid unlimited everything even international txt) and Iam sure even if the phone is locked to TM it will work with mine cause they use TM towers.

Iam also sure u can unlock your phone through cellunlocker.net
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vvv3399:
Hope im one of the 65% who ordered
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Not holding my breath since I ordered 10/6 :( Oh well, I really want CyanogenMod so I don't mind waiting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
9/23 black here!!!!! Ill update if I get a email.! :fingerscrossed:

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollywould:
Ordered on 10/4. Not expecting anything, but I'm totally cool to wait. Kind of want to see what the Nexus 5 is going to be like anyway. Will post if I get an email.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwuhua1984:
Crappy month for ordering things online. First Negri backordered then Spigen delayed my shipment of the screen protector. Amazon delayed my order for Pac Rim. Let's see... maybe I should play around with Newegg or TigerDirect just to see if they'll have any delayed order too.

FYI: Negri is current having technical problems with the site and the rep says the system is down to check order status.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
LOL!

Well think of it this way...

At least you're not just staring at that Spigen and getting more ticked each day!

I haven't got my Spigen either...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwuhua1984:
That's the thing... I'm staring at Spigen, Negri and Amazon... 3 times the anger... LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
10/16 already, has anyone receive email yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
I've got my MIME screen protector. Came last week.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Give it to the end of the day, the shipments usually go out at the end of the day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vvv3399:
We should see alot of shipping info today if what negri said is true
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Please..... Please........ I'm begging for a shiny.........

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gringuito:
I ordered the black note 3 on 9/18 and unfortunately I haven't received a shipping notice yet. I'll post something if I get an e-mail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
Newest Update from Negri's post:

Woot-Woot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evoforevo:
Cancelled that there draging. So guys were is the best place to buy the note 3 brand new the cheapest and more reliable is it swappa or etc..... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Elhity:
Swappa, Now they have 3 you can offer the seller $680 or even $670 and he will accept it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neoWhite:
Got the email saying it was shipped. Preordered 09/18 Black. Hope this is a good sign that the tracking numbers are coming just as promised.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gringuito:
Same here, also ordered on 09/18 Black and just received the e-mail. Good luck everyone else waiting for this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Grats. I hope we see a lot of shipping confirmations tonight. It would make me feel better even if I don't get one myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
Just chat with Francisco from Negri about all orders 10/4. He said they about to ship next week. Haiz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vvv3399:
What preorder date are they shipping up too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] googlephone:
It depends on which color you ordered. The orders for the white have shipped out up to Oct 04 order date last week. So maybe today all the white orders are shipped out. But for the black orders, it's much slower.

I ordered on 10/08 for the white one just at the point of price increase. Will report if I got tracking number today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 973NY:
Huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gordonzhao:
Congrats to all those who got it! I know you'll love the phone even though it's taking so long to get.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Francisco always says "in the next week"

wtf does that even mean? It either within a week or next week
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nunyabiziz:
White N3 shipped, ordered on 10/05.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
To anyone who has received theirs via ground shipping - Do they ship with signature confirmation delivery? I can't be at my house to sign for stuff when I'm at work so if they do use signature confirmation I'll have to call FedEx and have them redirect it to the local store so I can pick it up there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vvv3399:
guess my black note 3 wont be shipped today. why didnt i order the white one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
Keep waiting like this till next week then :) 50% people will receive confirmation today, i think most of them order white
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CZroe:
Following SlickDeals.net I registered and had a black T-Mo one in my cart on 10-3 but fell asleep before I was done checking out and my order ended up finishing on 10-4.

I never lost hope. Can't wait! :) It did give me enough time to finally look over some accessories and pull the trigger on a few.

I couldn't believe some people were complaining less than a day after their originally estimated ship date. Did they all have overnight shipping? Did they all not know what an "estimate" was?! To see people attacking one of the most open and communicative sellers online over communication baffles me. They can only tell us what they know which is exactly what they did!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nunyabiziz:
Yes signature is required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] E1De:
Another point of reference for you guys:

I ordered a black N900T on September 30 and I have NOT received a tracking number
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
This is bs........... I can believe that I didn't get shipping confirmation......... Why? Because nothing has changed except the blog and 2 people with confirmation........... FML.

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Dude, just head over to Swappa. You can get one for $670-680 shipped free....Waiting is for suckers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 1slandtime:
I THINK THIS IS BS!! NO TRACKING YET!!!

I bet Negri priced these Note 3's to low (689.50) for all the pre-orders and is now trying to wait everyone out in hopes they will cancel their orders to keep from loosing money.

:mad:

I WILL NEVER EVER PLACE ANOTHER ORDER WITH NEGRI ELCTRONICS AGAIN!!!

:mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
buy it from swappa then

they're already shipping 10/5 orders for the white version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 973NY:
I ordered black on 9/21 still no shipping confirmation...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
All I see on swappa is white... I'm looking for black.... and will you have a warranty going that route?? Did you get yours yet?

I had some remorse at first about the stock..... I myself am a business owner and understand completely...... I just feel we deserve more than a updated blog...... and some quotes here on XDA..... Email us .... tell us when our order # is about to ship out........ bummer....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
That would be quite difficult with 300 pre-orders and 300 emails with that specific information. The problem is that they don't know when they are going to get their stock, its sporadic, which is problematic and impossible to tell someone when they will get their device. Nearly 50% implies they have shipped almost 150 devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
did they ever say how many pre-orders they have? someone said 200, and someone told me 500
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Got mine (Swappa) last Friday. Black one BRAND NEW in a sealed box for $680 and free 2-day shipping. There were a few blacks recently sold. Just keep an eye out as they sell rather quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
250+ was what was stated..... but quite a few cancelled because waiting was no go for them......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwuhua1984:
Well, I cancelled my order today. I can't afford to wait because the shipping address that my order was supposed to ship to may change any time within the next two weeks. Placed an order on Swappa that should ship tomorrow. Maybe it was because I complain on here, my order for Spigen screen protector and Pacific Rim both shipped today. :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Did you get white or black?...........what did you end up paying on swappa?......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
i suspect this is possible
