Im so sorry!

That is really annoying. Thats why I opted to pick up form a store, because I worried something like that would happen to me. I never get any deliveries where I live.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

I managed to get my delivery at the very last minute before catching the tube to work.

But I proceeded to not open the box until I got home just now.

Very exciting, I am using smart switch to transfer my stuff from my note 4 now.

I was going to keep the plastic on for a bit but there is a black dot under it and I need to find out if its a dead pixel. Also the open feels crap on that plastic.

CPW told me this afternoon that all orders placed today were expected on the 9th, the website is wrong. I have a Sept 2nd delivery date and they said they haven't got any stock in hand yet and the were waiting on a delivery of it maybe tomorrow. I was going to order a 2nd handset today for a relative and phoned them to make sure 2nd Sept was still a guaranteed delivery date for my first handset but they didn't sound sure. Crazily they told me in store I could buy a sim free in there on Sat but they'd stopped taking pre orders for sim frees.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Don't hold your breath for the 2nd, especially being a fresh order. By the looks of it, a lot if preorders haven't been fulfilled yet and you'd hope they'd have priority. Next date after the 2nd us the 9th...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] violet182:
Yeah I picked up my blue from instore CPW. I ordered on 21st.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cjensen25:
I phoned them this afternoon and they seemed confident the phone would arrive for the 2nd of Sept.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Arghhh, they tell so many different stories!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Well my blue order from 20th is not in stock - hoping for Fri now... :(

Got the blue one on 02. Sick phone. Preorderd and picked up from 02 store today as don't trust deliveries to my address. Too much bs. The amount of times I've stayed in and my delivery never turned up on the day.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnmusk:
I spoke to clove couple of weeks ago. I asked them if they would get it delivered on the 2nd if i ordered through them. He said they were expecting to be delivered to them on the 2nd then they would ship it out. I asked the guy if it's possible that what would happen may end up different then what is expected to happen. He said quite possibly. I asked him if those who pre-ordered they s7 edge got it on time. He said no it was some weeks late. I thanked him for being honest and ended up ordering from carphone warehouse. As mentioned, picked it up yesterday morning and bought the s- cover stand case when I picked the phone up.

Quick question for people who ordered from Carphone Warehouse, did you all get a 2nd email confirmation of when your phone was dispatched? Reading through the thread, people have been receiving their blue coral phones, but I haven't seen anyone receiving black onyx. Anyone received black onyx from CPW yet?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m00moo:
Yes ppl have received black also. My girlfriend received her black onyx yesterday afternoon to her work plc from cpw. I think she only ordered approx a week ago tops. iirc no email confirmation, no emails to confirm delivery but just a text from dpd yesterday morning.

And there's me awaiting my ukmail delivery at work today!

I ordered through CPW gonna Vodafone contract on 24th with delivery on 31st. The only despatch email I got it mentioned the Gear VR and nothing about phone. The initial order email had the phone e and Gear listed.

I am supposed to collect from store today but no confirmation that it's arrived!

Yay! Excited for the VR and for £699 I think that's a good price considering I paid £699 for a 64gb iPhone 6Plus on release. Getting much more for the money
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReformedAppleFan:
I agree the price of the Note 7 in the UK hasn't been impacted by the weakness of the pound. Samsung and/or the UK retailers are taking the hit.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

No email confirmation here, either. I called them back and was told they didn't confirm telephone orders by email. Apparently we'll next hear from them on the day of delivery.

Looks like there's no way to confirm an order on their website.

Not very useful. I guess most people order in-stock mobiles and have them delivered the next day. So it's less important for the usual customers to see written confirmation.

Money's gone out of my account so I assume all is good...

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

On the delivery date, I was told 2nd Sept. I'm hoping it might arrive one or two days earlier than that. Seem to remember my last new-release CPW phone beat the official date.

I wasn't given a reference and was told delivery on 2nd by DPD.

I pre-ordered mine 2 weeks ago from carphone warehouse (black onyx + VR included) to be picked up in-store.

They told me I could pick it up today when i placed the order 2 weeks ago. Went into the store today, they said it hadn't arrived yet and that even if it had arrived they couldn't give it to me until Friday (2/9) because Samsung said they are not allowed to give any phones out and giving me the phone would be a breach of their agreement and therefore illegal?

I have not seen this anywhere else, has anybody else had problems or know what I could say to them in-store about it?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeepsb:
Just a note to people who purchased through CPW - I preordered the Sim Free version and went in store yesterday to pick up. The person I was talking to went in the back with my ID to check and came back with nothing. I then told him that the phone was mean to to come 3 days early, which he then checked his system, went in the back and came to me with my phone.

I also didn't receive a text or email saying my phone is ready to pick up - I just walked in.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andr3w_95:
My Note arrived. It's great but weird having used iPhones for the last 6 years. I feel somewhat uncomfortable using it but that's because I'm still finding my way around.

Anyway I have a question. I don't get how to use Samsung cloud. I don't get how to back up my photos. It's saying I've used 150MB of cloud storage but I have around 1.5GB of photos. I've also moved all my photos from SD card to internal pictures folder. Any help
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I hope so, don't think I could wait another week!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Interesting to read all the stories here.

For me, my first order on the 19th was screwed up by CPW, and I had to reorder in-store on 20th - I was promised it for the 30th (as everyone else was).

Surprise surprise, mine didn't arrive and I had two very poor phone conversations with CS on Monday,

Went in-store yesterday, and they too were given the run around by CS (hung up on, agreements made and then notes added to my order changed!). CS even told the store to cancel my order and reorder for 2nd. The store refused, as this would obviously mean I would lose my VR headset. According to the store, there is no stock of Coral Blue "in the business" and that the next stock is expected tomorrow (1st) for deliveries on 2nd. I'm not confident I'm going to get my order on Friday to be honest, considering all the misinformation going around. I have told the store they will see me again on Friday if I get no notice of anything being despatched (or out for delivery). Not quite sure what to do after this in reality...

Also, no goodwill gesture of anything offered by CS for my time (hour on phone, 2 hours in store). However the store is arranging a payment for my first month's contract payment...

Bit annoyed in generally by their treatment, and will likely not pre-order a phone with CPW again as their stock fulfillment system is appalling. :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cjensen25:
Sorry to hear about your experience - how annoying! Out of curiosity - how did you know your original order had been messed up?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
I didn't get a second confirmation email, so called CS who told me there was an issue with the order and to go in-store to sort it.

Needless to say, the store wasn't surprised (at how useless CS were) and ended up cancelling that order and re-ordering for me.

The way they were talking yesterday, there are a lot of unfulfilled pre-orders at the moment and no guarantee tomorrow's expected stock will meet these.

I'd say that anyone who ordered after the end of last week will not be getting it until the 9th (or later)...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I can't understand why it's so difficult for them? It seems like they just don't want to tell the truth and want to keep pilling on pre orders despite not know what stock they're getting in. I also think most of their staff tell you anything to get you off the phone or away from their support lines. They just make their whole business look terrible and shoddy.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
Indeed, the store have gone as far as advising me to make a formal complaint (as they too were mucked around on the phone by CS)!. Very telling of poor corporate culture...

Have you cleared the cache? Try that first (settings and storage or via a restart pressing power/home/down). If no good try a factory reset.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m00moo:
Got mine as of about 11:30 this morning :) been playing about with it when i can (shhh dont tell the bosses ;)) Loving the new feel and coming from a Note 4 it does feel quite a big smaller. It's a strange feeling as the phone itself is smaller but the screen almost feels it too. Restored to factory once before i started setting it up from scratch as i had lots of junk on my Note 4 so im not interested in copying every single thing across.

One thing im not feeling is the new app drawer and the inability to hide apps. Lots of junk apps i usually debloat by hiding and this time i've had to purchase the pkg disabler which is working to an extent. Just some things like Swype dragon which leaves a settings icon in the app drawer that im not keen on.

The settings have moved about also which is taking some getting used to. Just trying to add another google account took me a while to find it lol The sceren and camera so far are the things that have made this a massive upgrade for me. Camera is stupid fast and amazing quality! Sold my VR also which helps with the phone cost so then so far im very happy!

There's usually an overlap where both might appear to be working - sometimes you can call out from 1 but you receive calls on the other. The old one should show "emergency calls only" at some point today. You might need to restart the phone at some point for everything to work properly.

And not sure why I've not got my VR then if they've shipped with other orders.
