I chose 12 months 0% with payments instead.

Doesn't really matter, just a $65 payment but they have had my money for 7 days and I have nothing to show for it. Not even a tracking number.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NYPDream:
Thank you to whoever posted the fedex delivery manager hack. I finally got my tracking info. Says overnight shipping. ordered S8 + midnight black on 4/6.

NO THANKS TO SAMSUNG!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JoshuaFCB:
My phone arrived one hour ago in my city. Excited for tomorrow

Sent from hell
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I think it's pretty clear they have us $650 orders at the lowest priority level for shipping and service.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The G Dept.:
Right. They made it ****ty for Canadians, how nice of them! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkalbarc:
Just checked the FedEx delivery manager and I have a label that was created today with a delivery date for tomorrow. This is crazy. I don't believe it will be here tomorrow but man... I sure hope :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Can you post screenshots like I did?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkalbarc:
here you go.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
You got the regular free gear VR? You must live really close to the warehouse? Mines a little heavier maybe it's because I got the $99 VR package.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkalbarc:
Yep just the free vr. I live near Detroit, MI. the weight may actually change a bit though when they receive the item. My status on Sammy's website still shows pre ordered and still have a cancel button.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I'm sick and tired of Samsung. I just hit the cancel button. WTF why do I need to wait 9 days for my cancellation to be complete? Why does the number to call tell me they are closed and its 6pm PT! I really do hate Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrfuzzie23:
well there goes your preorder bonus
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Bonus is worthless to me. To much hassle to try and sell all the junk anyways. If I had a week before they came out in stores I might have been able to make some money. 1 day early is not going to get the job done for me. When I placed the order in march I wrote this date down to cancel if the phone hadn't shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkalbarc:
Wait... did I miss something? Isn't your order with the carrier right now and scheduled for Saturday delivery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I don't know what it is but they can keep everything I dont want or need any junk from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The G Dept.:
The ****ty Canadian website with missing informations and elements (like the cancel button) is not that bad after all!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
[MENTION=5024300]mkalbarc[/MENTION] please post what arrives today for us all

My order is finally officially cancelled after a call to Samsung. They have no idea what I was talking about when I asked them about the fedex email I got yesterday.

Tracking number:xxxxxxxxxx

Invoice number:xxxxxxxxxxx

Purchase order number:xxxxxxxxxx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
I had the same label show up in Fedex Delivery manager too. Thoughts from Reddit and Android Central forums that it could be some bonus "amplifier speaker dock" (LINK) or it could be the VR or $99 immersive bundle shipping early. According to some posts on Android Central forums, folks received some of their pre-order goodies for the S7 from "BRIGHTPOINT NORTH AMERICA" (which is what my Fedex label shows too).

While I'm hopeful it's the phone label getting created, I'm actually thinking it is either a pre-order bonus or one of the pre-order promotions.

exciting nonetheless!

EDIT: my fedex label says 0.8 pounds, says shipping 4/11 and arriving 4/13. but hasn't moved yet... and I did order the $99 immersive bundle FWIW.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Thanks I'm really glad I cancelled my order now. That thing look like a huge POS!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
haha. it is quite ugly, I agree. If I do end up with that thing, it'll go on CL/eBay for a few bucks or the recycle bin if nobody buys it. Still glad I pre-ordered the S8 though :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Nobody will buy it I don't even think it's worth the time it would take to answer the door, sign for, and then open the box. I would never even consider placing my OnePlus 3T anywhere near that cheap monstrosity.

****my shipping label matches that guys so hopefully you guys with the .8 pound box get something more useful****
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
I noticed the guy in the Reddit link has a different "From Shipping" label than mine. Both are from Plainfield, IN, but his says "Samsung" and mine "Brightpoint". So maybe it's part of the immersive bundle? or the actual phone and the label has been created but won't actually move till next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Wasted 40 minutes on the phone with samsung and they had no clue what it was but they said it definitely was not the phone or bundle. The link you posted literally popped up the minute I hung up with those fools.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blues fan:
It is either the gift, phone or both. Mine says 4/11 it was created and hasn't shipped yet. My free memory card and watch worked the same way. Label was created and sat there for over a week. This could very well be the label for the phone as well though but doesn't mean much because it hasn't shipped yet and will probably still dormant until at least next Mon then ship out hopefully. The 4/13 estimated delivery date is an auto generated estimate based on 2 day shipping. Everyone is getting excited for nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdiddy_ub:
track by reference number...your samsung order number then -01:

1234567891-01 , ship date today (most likely) then postal code
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaine07:
Everybody's service has sucked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrJesseJay:
Update 6:33pm

Finally shows shipped and gives me fedex tracking number on Samsung website. Just landed in San Francisco will arrive by 8pm on 4/20/17. So for sure Samsung emails and tracking are delayed. But very happy its at least arrived in my city.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Wait until Friday and see the pattern emerge as to what orders got delivered BY 4/20 and what orders did not. They said they wouldn't cancel those orders but they obviously arent willing to help us out when issues pop up. Are they upgrading the $650 orders to overnight to make the 4/20 date like they did for the others today?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
If they are they better hurry up. Time is running out to actually get a tracking number from FedEx.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpinks:
I got the notice from fedex at about 1030 am cst and last update 830pm still in indianapolis arrival 4-21 but i dont see it naking it here til saturday
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwayne27:
I got mine at 8PM from Plainfield IN to Ohio. 20th by 4PM. 7LBS? Is that the whole bundle?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] quasidodo:
I also got the $650 phone. Got Fedex tracking through fedex reference tracking. It still says 2 day air, not overnight. will receive it on Friday 21st. Hopefully they change that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwayne27:
I chose 24 months at 7.99%. $84 interest over 2 years is only like $3.50 a month lol then when I am ready to sell I will use swappa and pay the loan off. My S7 Edge went for $385 on Swappa. Gotta ship it now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpinks:
Mine still says 2 Day air as well but my order went in on 3-30. Still hasnt left Indianapolis been there since 10:10am according to Fed Ex......
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
It seems they chose to honor the $650 price but not the 4/20 delivery date. They are samsung.com so they can do whatever they want with zero repercussions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] quasidodo:
You might be right. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 6uPMAH:
Love this hack. Samsung website still shows PREORDER. FedEx shows label created, delivering tomorrow! Woohoo!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qaxx:
Totally got screwed. Ordered on the 10th, sat and watched the order status not change from preordered until today, I got nervous and called. The order was never put through, problem with my PayPal account. They never notified me of the issue just let it sit on my orders page. Had to cancel and reorder today, and now I probably went get delivery until middle of next week at the earliest. Just a warning for anybody who hasn't had an update to their order, definitely call them, because if there is something wrong they won't tell you about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansan382:
Just checked the FedEx manager, I now have tracking info!!!!!! Yesssssssss!!

She is coming tomorrow by 8pm via standard overnight. 4lbs, GS8+ with free VR bundle

Ordered on 4/17 around 10am
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] starscrean:
Ordered 4/1 FedEx manager just shows it picked up From IN. Weigh is 4LB. And change.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

Mines still said 2 days shipping as well. But fed ex just picked it up with over night delivery. I would dis regard what's on Samsung website. Doesn't reflect in real time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrJesseJay:
Yes its with the immersive bundle
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpinks:
That is what Fed ex says not Samsung. Samsung just has its arrived at Fed Ex :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] starscrean212:
Eh at this rate I'm going with what fedex website is displaying. Being a hub of worldwide logistics. When samsung. Can't even update their website on time for a anticipated launch of a flagship phone of theirs
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaine07:
FedEx had my tracking about 1500 my time. It's now almost 2200 my time and Samsung finally sent me a email saying order had shipped lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
It's now 10:12pm Central and I still don't have anything in FedEx or from Samsung. This is getting to be a real joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper87227:
I'm there with ya. I signed up for delivery manager, but I'm not sure it's going to help me anyways since FedEx cannot seem to get my address right (forces city to something it's not based on zip). Been trying the reference number every so often, but nothing. I called Samsung about two hours ago and was assured that my order was fulfilled and will be delivered tomorrow, even though there is no tracking number in existence.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow, but I'm not expecting anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
I hope they are ready to provide compensation Friday morning if I don't get anything tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper87227:
I'm trying not to get overly worked up about it. The bottom line is, **** happens. Delivery dates get missed all the time, that's life. I still have my current phone, and I know this one will show up eventually. I'm sure excited to get a new phone, but it's not worth losing sleep over. I can see why it's a bigger deal to people who may have made arrangements to be around tomorrow to sign for a package, but I think for most of us, we're just excited and don't want to wait any longer.

Really, the lack of communication or general lack of reliable order status is more irritating than the potential that my phone might not show up on the date it was promised. No matter what, someone always seems to be able to be around my place, so someone will be able to sign. But if I'm going to ask someone to remain home and attentive, I do want to be damn sure there is a reason for it.

As far as compensation is concerned though, really... I wouldn't expect anything. Amazon doesn't send you a check any time a delivery ships late. UPS doesn't refund your shipping if a package is held up a day. Like I said, that's just the way things happen sometimes. I don't think anyone would be quite as upset if Samsung didn't leave is in the dark.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frewys:
I like many was not expecting to see this delivery tomorrow the 20th despite calling twice today and having it promised it would be there tomorrow

Just got an email at 1112 with delivery tomorrow a 7 pound delivery to be precise... But holy they made it the absolute last possible min...

I ordered April 1st
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I think I wore them out over the past 3 weeks so they will crumble when you call and give you a $100 refund in 3 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
All valid points but...

My PayPal credit account was charged on 4/12. So they have had my money for 7 days without any information whatsoever. That's not acceptable. Missing a promised delivery date, to me, is also unacceptable.

My S8+ arrived today from T-Mobile so I have my new phone. The one from Samsung is for my GF and she is excited to get it. She wasn't pleased to come home from work today and I had to tell her I still have no idea where the phone is.

If a delivery arrives late for Amazon, at a minimum, they add 1 month to my Prime membership and it's not even their fault.

Samsung has complete control over this. They picked their distribution channel and advertised a delivery date. If they miss, they should be called out on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaine07:
For me, it was the lack of communication. Man for so many of us though they waited until the last literal minute to shove these things out the door. Don't quite understand the method to their madness. If they had done it "normally" maybe they wouldn't have overloaded Samsung back end trying to put all the tracking it at once etc essentially rendering it useless.

I can only imagine the nightmare it's been for them. All the name of the game; they signed up for it and knew what they were getting into going into it. I strongly feel the cards could've been played a little different though ??*♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmacnichol:
At this point I am hoping to wake up to a nice surprise tomorrow morning of a shipment notifications. Midnight EST and still nothing...

No freaking clue how I can order the 30th and receive nothing, while I have seen a few order a few days ago already receive it or will get it tomorrow. Makes no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cfcryme:
This evening I got email, and text msg from fedex. Don't lose your hope, guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Is everyone left with nothing still just the $650 T-Mobile deals? Or are any of the regular priced orders still left hanging?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
Wow...a delivery just showed up in FedEx. Set for overnight delivery but it's only 2lbs so I guess my immersive bundle is coming separately even though I've already paid for it as well. I guess I'll see what the morning brings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tengtengvn:
Wow, your tracking is the same as mine. Well, we won't have our phones until Friday but at least our phones have each others so they won't be lonely. lol

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aberchonbie:
I got a $650 silver s8 on 3/30 as well. Tried looking up the package on FedEx through the hack posted in this thread and it's showing that it'll get delivered Friday via 2nd day air instead of tomorrow via overnight.

I guess I can't complain though since I got mine for $100 off retail? (I also wanted it in black but couldn't pass up the $100 in savings. I'm gonna throw a case on it so no biggie)

Don't lose hope!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Termynat0r:
I also got my confirmation email with a DHL Express tracking number. It says delivery on the 20th, by end of the day :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cfcryme:
Mine is total 7lbs. I ordered s8 +immersive bundle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] azndude021:
Same here. My label shows only 2lbs as well, figured that the immersive bundle will be shipping separately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
i'm in oakland. my still showing scheduled delivery Thu 4/20/2017 by 8:00pm. i have Fedex standard overnight.

fedex probably have too many phones to delivery on 4/20/2017 so they push your back to 4/21/2017 since you have 2 days service
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pmoreno88:
DHL? Where are you? Everyone else's is getting shipped FedEx.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Termynat0r:
Germany. FedEx is not a thing here
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmacnichol:
Well, Mine finally showed up. 2lb Package for delivery Thursday. When they got the package at 1 am....

Glad to be getting it, though I am a little upset the VR Box is not coming with. They really screwed this up, considering I ordered on the 30th you would think I would get the box at the same time. While some on Reddit and here who ordered on the 14th are getting the entire package.

No benefit to actually order early I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper87227:
I'll be damned, label made at 11:07. If nothing else, Samsung is working their ass off to get these out. Delivery for tomorrow, but it was never actually picked up. Lets see if FedEx can really pick it up in the AM and still get it to me the same day. Only 2lbs, so I'm guessing just the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MNX1024:
Seems like everyone that ordered the immersive bundle is showing 7 lbs on their shipping information. Should I be concerned that mine is showing 4 lbs instead? For those that ordered the immersive bundle, what dimension did you get? Mine's 19x9x5 in.

And, I still have not received an update with a tracking number from Samsung. Had to use the reference number method on FedEx to get my information....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmacnichol:
Mine is only 2lb and 11x8x6. I did order the immerse bundle but they most likely ran out by the time they got to my order....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
why is some people showing 2 lbs, 4 lbs, and 7 lbs?

i have s8+ plus the free VR with controller. showing 4 lbs. dimension: 11x10x7 in.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansan382:
Mine is 4 lbs as well. 15x8x7inchs though. S8+ with free vr.

As of 30 minutes ago it's sitting in Philly, about an hour east of me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Yeah, mine is 4 lbs. which includes the VR bundle. S8 sitting at my FedEx center next door to work along with another VZW order which also arrived same time. I know what I'll be doing at lunchtime!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funziebear:
I have a 5 pounder and a 2 pounder on my tracking I also ordered immersive package it's about to land in LAX in a few mins , glad Samsung pulled this off for some of us for those that haven't seen anything hang tight it all happened so quick hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
I ordered the immersive bundle and my package coming is 7lbs and 22x6x10 FWIW.

Mine just got to Dallas. Now just has to head on over to Fort Worth! It's going to be a kind day off waiting ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
Looks like mine won't be coming today. It's still label created with no travel history as of 6:30am. What a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Give samsung.com the business when you get a rep on the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
I'm pissed about and just had to break the news to my GF she won't get her phone today. So 8 days after they take my money, still no product. I'll have to wait until I calm down a little before calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I think no matter what logic you demonstrate they may stick to the script and tell you its coming today to get you off the phone. Try not to hurt your brain dealing with them, im still recovering from the worst customer service in my life by far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] quasidodo:
My label was created yesterday at 4pm and and still not picked up either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
They have decided to prioritize by cost of unit and the $650 priced phones did not all make the cut
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh LaCelle:
That is bologna! My phone probably costed more than most as I live in a high sales tax state, plus I ordered the bundle! Samsung is just being typical Samsung. They'll take your money but give you crap service. Glad my ugly speaker dock came early! :roll eyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] just_parker:
Is there a source? or is this a guess? Oddly enough, my package is showing delivery for tomorrow (after phone rep promised he would change me to one day shipping) and I have a $650 phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
Actually I'll probably wait and see when it actually arrives so that I know exactly how long after their guaranteed date it is late (provided it doesn't actually show up today lol).

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

That's absurd. Plenty of time for that to catch a flight. Which phone did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
The source is researching who is still left holding the bag and it seems like more than just a coincidence. Probably pissed them off we got a discount so they noted the accounts to give us a hard time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] just_parker:
Good to know, this makes me less anxious. Would have been bummed if they were being passive aggressive with those discount orders.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansan382:
Phone is sitting at the local FedEx warehouse, 10 minutes away. I'm resisting driving down there and banging on the glass until they let me in lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper87227:
This is simply not true. There are plenty of reports of people who got this price having their phones shipped, just as there are many of us who paid full price still wondering when it will come.

If your going to continue on with your campaign of bashing Samsung every other post, at least keep it factual.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Based on my actual experience with samsung i can truthfully say the reps and agents are all clueless. If everything went smooth for you please move on. The thread is now for the people that are left with unresolved issues. It simply feels like a large % of $650 phones are left hanging compared to the full priced orders.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] quasidodo:
