I tried preordering from Verizon but I have the grandfathered UDP and it wouldn't let me without changing my plan, even with me choosing to pay in full. I tried to call and order by phone but Verizon only does preorders online or in store. So I purchased from Samsung directly, which means I'll probably get mine a day earlier than most everyone from Verizon, I guess I've got that going for me.

Reading through the forums it looks like T-Mobile is the same, G-955U. Sounds to me Samsung finally made it easy to tell that it's the same exact hardware for the US versions.

Mine still saying processing. I order on the first day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] bjtcars:
Same with me, I though we were getting them on the 21st but this says shipping on the 21st and I ordered it on day 1 as well,

Yea, it said that on previous pre orders and I got them at least on opening day, and a couple of times the day before.

Looks like T-MO already has shipped to some next day air.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] unboxed:
Signed up in anticipation. 1 week today. Cmoon AT&T!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
Earlier today, my order status was still processing and said "Delivered by 4/21/2017". Since I'm going out of town on 4/20 and won't be back until 4/24 or 4/25, I called Verizon today to see if they had any better details on when the phones would be shipping so I could update the delivery address if they would definitely be arriving by 4/21. The first sales rep I spoke with said it would ship on 4/21. I told her that my order status said it would be delivered *BY* 4/21 and she said that the order status she was looking at on her end said shipping on 4/21 and that she would think it would be here by 4/24. I asked her if that was a definitive answer or if it was still speculation. She said she could check with her supervisor and I said thank you. After waiting over 30 minutes on hold, they disconnected me.

A little while later, I just checked my order status and it now says the status is "Processing" and "Expected ship date" is 4/21/2017. It'd be nice to get some clarification from Verizon, especially since there has been so much buzz on the T-mobile side the past few days. Has anyone else gotten any feedback from Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] kevinpb:
Just got text for Verizon that order in process.

Free VZW Msg: Your order was received on 04/14/2017. You'll receive a text message with tracking information when your order ships.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
Yeah, I got the same, about 30 minutes ago. Maybe I'll call them again on Monday to try to get some answers. If they're going to ship them in time to arrive by 4/21, I sure as hell want them to send it to me where I'll be next weekend instead of going the whole weekend knowing there's a box sitting at my front door.

Wait, Verizon usually ships FedEx, right? And FedEx doesn't usually leave packages at the door. The last thing I want is to get back late the following Monday and have to drive to the FedEx office to pick it up. Damn you, Verizon, work with me ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] dwertz:
That has happened to me too many times with Verizon. I usually have to wait until 6pm for the FedEx truck to come back to the main location and then pick up the package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
Got another text this morning with a link to fedex tracking. I realize that this just means the label is created and doesn't necessarily mean anything concrete, but still promising to see! 4/18 delivery date would be sweet!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] millerd79:
I also received notification that my phone shipped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
I just received notification of FedEx shipping also. Its coming from Coatesville, PA which is close to me so hoping I'll get it early next week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] sebastianraven:

Got my fedex numbers for my orders, but like the others it says future delivery requested. We don't know if they will deliver it before Friday. Mine say Thursday but I'm not expecting that to happen..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
Mine is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. It's coming from Coatesville PA which isn't far from me. Now I have to order a case from Amazon 2 day shipping so I'll have it when the phone comes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Well 2 of my S8+ did ship, but the third didnt......We took a look and here is the information we need:

I just now ordered S8 orchid and order is processing. Let's see if it ships early or by Monday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Kid84:
Where did you see it ? Out of stock with midnight black ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
That is what the email said. VZW just called and said they didn't have my credit card info....even though the order confirmation has the card info on it.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Maybe. I've been through this before. Don't be surprised if FedEx holds onto it until friday.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

At least you left the order number on your photo so we can all see if it actually delivers tuesday......... or we can call and have the package redirected ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] dknow101:
Alright my s8 shows FedEx has it and will arrive on Wednesday (shipping movement has started .... alright)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
Wow, that was really stupid of me. I wasn't thinking. Anyway I changed it but it still appears on your reply. Can you kindly delete it. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Done.

Let us know if you see it out for delivery Monday.

VZW changed one of my phone order dates to today. Their stupid credit card payment system must be bad. They canceled my order from the 30th and created a new order today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] barondebxl:
My S8 shipped via FedEx and is scheduled for delivery this coming Wednesday
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] skinnytoo2:
Same here!! Can't wait yo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
The credit card I used for activation and taxes shows the charge pending to Verizon as of today. So Verzion did charge my card. I'll fill you in on Monday what's going on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
I for one will not be happy with them if it does get delivered. I ordered on the 30th, and the order shows next day air delivery included but 2 of the phones show 2nd day air with a delivery date of Thursday..... which makes no sense unless they are gong to hold them until Friday. My 3rd order their garbage software did not get my credit card number saved and they waited until today to let me know they needed it. Then they placed the order as of today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] piaa_nissan:
Mine shows picked up by Fedex today but note that "being held at the request of the shipper" delivery on Wednesday..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Kid84:
When did you order ?

I pre order yesterday , still nothing as this moment
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] piaa_nissan:
I ordered a few days after it became available to preorder so I've been in the pipeline for awhile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] alibox87:
i ordered on the first day my order showed that its pick up and its on FedEx location but the shipper ask to be deliver on Thursday 20th even if my order showed next day delivery am a business customer and all my order should be next day. now i have to wait till Monday to call and see whats going on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
I ordered on the 30th also. About a minute past midnight, LOL. But my order confirmation indicated that the scheduled delivery was April 21st. So coming a few days earlier is nice. Maybe I can get the jump on applying for the Gear VR promotion. When I pre-ordered my S7 Edge, I was one of the lucky ones to get the $300 Gear watch opposed to to VR. There was a very limited number of the watches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Same here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] shagy38:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] phillyphill39:
Shipped but as stated it's being held till Thursday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
So who all is actually past the "Label Created" phase? It looks like piaa_nissan's was picked up but being held until Wednesday? Phillyphill39, yours is picked up also? As of earlier this morning, mine still said Label Created. I just checked and fedex.com is telling me they were unable to retrieve my tracking results at this time. Hopefully, that means that it was picked up and they're in the process of updating some records ;) ... haha, very wishful thinking. I'm still hoping for a Wednesday delivery so I can have it before I head out of town.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Mountainfisher:
Mine was in Memphis. Said shipper requests not to be delivered till Wednesday the 19th by 430 ordered 630 am the 30th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] phillyphill39:
Yeah if it wasn't getting held it would probably arrive tomorrow/wednesday. I just got the email from verizon with my tracking number and IMEI number as well. I was hoping that I'd be able to get on the promotion, but it requires the Wifi Mac address from the device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] tlbland0426:
Mine was picked up in PA on Friday and moved from Coatesville, PA to Linwood, PA (about 50 minute drive) but took 36 hours of in transit time. Now it is just sitting there with a hold stating to be delivered on Thursday (20th). And now it's unable to retrieve my tracking results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
Seems like tracking is working again on fedex site. Mine is still at "Label Created" (shipping from Coatesville also). If they set it to hold until Thursday, I'll probably try to get them to hold it at the local office so I can swing by in the morning to pick it up on my way out of town.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] phillyphill39:
Tracking is now working again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] tlbland0426:
Yep and it's still sitting in Linwood, PA...was hoping it would magically say Out for Delivery...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] sebastianraven:
MIne said the same thing over the weekend. Now this AM, there is a new message stating that the label has been created and shipping info sent to FedEx. They updated the time to 8pm. I'm just worried they might update for a Friday delivery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Kid84:
Anyone pre order on 14th ?

Still no charge , no movement or anything .

Anyone same boat with me ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Mountainfisher:
Ya. Mine still says Wednesday but 8 pm. Usually tho I get phones delivered in the morning. Wull see
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Same for 2 of my orders. Why some are scheduled for delivery today and Wednesday is strange. I can only assume FedEx will hold them till friday?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] markwebb:
I ordered a day later on 15. Same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Did anyone who had a delivery date of today actually have it go out for delivery?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
Any updates on movement? Does it look like it will be delivered tomorrow???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
They changed it to Wednesday. Up until late this afternoon it was scheduled for tomorrow. I'm not surprised. Verizon probably told them to hold the deliveries until the 19th. One more day is not so bad, especially since I wasn't expecting it until Friday anyway. I'm retired so I have all the time in the world. Don't have to worry about taking time off work to sign for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] markwebb:
We're late to the party: Canada began receiving their shipments today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] billinaz:
I dont have to sign for mine, but it was scheduled for Thursday? Why.... who knows.

Maybe its for deliveries on the West coast? Others who ordered when I did have their phones sitting in Linwood PA with a delivery date of Thursday....

It's like they recycled the shipment at Linwood PA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
This just keeps getting better. On the truck for delivery today! Just drove home to WFH today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Syn Ack:
Still sitting in Memphis TN for me and delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm not so sure the "Scheduled delivery" is accurate at this point. For all we know they could be sending them out from the shipping warehouses on Wednesday for Friday delivery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
I don't know what's going on but it changed again. It's out for delivery. I'm getting it today. I'm surprised you don't have to sign. Every time I received a phone shipped I had to sign. Maybe it's a regional thing. You shouldn't have to wait much longer. Linwood, PA is less than an hour and a half from me. I didn't think it would take 2 days.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] sebastianraven:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
Mine was around 50%. Turned it on while it's fast charging and am getting things set up now. Not going to wait for full charge ;). Now just trying to decide whether or not to spring for the additional $99 full immersion promo package. I don't really *need* the 256 GB card since I already have one from the Note 7 promo. And realistically, I doubt I'll use the headphones ever. Guess I could probably resell both for more than $99, but not sure it's worth the hassle. First world problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
I ordered online on Verizon's website on March 30th.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

It charged up very fast. I just finished applying for the promotion but I did the free one. I already have very good headphones and I don't really need a 256gb card. In case you don't have it already, here is the link for the promotion.

https://promos.samsung.com/infinitelyimmersive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] phillyphill39:
Did you use the Samsung app to apply for the promotion or did you do it through the website?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
I decided to go with the total immersion package. The headphones might be nice on plane rides. I can probably sell the sd card to pay for the promo.

So far, phone is very nice. Reminds me of my Note 7 but feels better in my hand. I'm glad I didn't go with the S8+ because when I put the S8 in my back pocket, it just fits the height of the pocket without sticking out. The S8+ would definitely be too tall for a standard back pocket.

Still setting up all my apps, so I haven't had a chance to really play with the new features. But so far, I'm loving it.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Oh, and I meant to mention that I used the Shop Samsung app to register for the promo. Seemed simple enough.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Varekai:
And yet mine still only says pre order, ordered on the 31st. Nothing on Fedex reference tracking. Guess I'll be calling Samsung tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] Eddie Hicks:
I did it from my desktop using that link. I already received confirmation from Samsung. I didn't know there was an app but that link worked perfectly. You have to upload your receipt. Doing that may be cumbersome on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussi] ronx162:
It's pretty simple in the app. It lets you click a button to take a picture of the receipt. However, after you take the picture, it shows you the preview of the picture of the receipt for you to confirm and the picture looks all distorted and grainy. After retaking the picture a few times, I figured it was just a bug in the app and that the picture would upload fine. I guess we'll see.
