Any ideas when FedEx will be moving items from their Atlanta depot , mines still sitting there due to Irma.

I think he means he's OK waiting for the SD card to come in since he still has the Note 7 SD card he can use in his Note 8

Carrier version or unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinkie00200:
The revolutionary iPhone X is just the same Essential Phone ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
All the units are supposed to be carrier unlocked I thought?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
When you order from Samsung you can choose whether you want an unlocked or carrier-specific (locked) phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
You can have an AT&T phone "unlocked" but it will on work on GSM TMO, AT&T and what not, and VZW unlocks to cdma like VZW and Sprint. But unlocked from Samsung works on both GSM and CDMA.

I knew it ! I'm not expecting much from this year's iPhone like last year and I heard they took away the fingerspint sensor. Lolz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
What are you talking about? It has an edge-to-edge screen! Face recognition! No home button at the front! An OLED screen! All glass on the front and back! 4K video! Dual OIS on BOTH lenses! Wireless charging! $1000 for 64GB price tag! Everything is literally groundbreaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
The finger print reader I thought was now under the main screen?

Still awaiting....Former Note 7 owner.

Ordered on the 28th, and the order was finally confirmed on the 7th (Except the SD card which still shows pre-order)

Surprisingly enough the 28th charge is still pending on my Citi card a full two weeks later....

Original email stated shipping on the 11th... Called Citi on the 12th and asked if there was an issue with the card, none.

Called Samsung who just was like we dunno it should ship this week.

I went thru Irma... Just got power back after 48hrs... Wheres my efing phone!!!!!! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Anyone know when do we get the shipping info to send in trade in for note 7 promo. Just got phone today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmandk:
Fedex needs to get their dingdongs together. Ordered on 26th, shipped on 8th, stuck in Atlanta since 11th. Oh and I did buy one day shipping :| Irma is already deaded and they are scared of a puny little tropical storm smh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
Mine-Ordered 8/26, on the truck for delivery now. Doesn't look like the SD card shipped yet though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Check your order details on samsung.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
There's a link on the Samsung site, in your Orders that gives you the place to print out the return shipping label
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
What phone are you coming from? I'm coming from the LG V20 and it was actually taller and wider than the note8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
Did everyone with orders delivered in the last few days get the 256 memory card?

Any order dates of August 24 left without having received note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Galaxy S6 Edge. The Note8 is miles ahead in every way, it takes getting used to from a smaller phone but it's a great change.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Ordered 9/8 and still on pre order status. Supposed to ship by 9/15... At this rate, doesn't like it will.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

Since I chose the Samsung att device, I wonder if it's not showing any update until the package arrives at a local att store. Then from there it'll ship to me.

Came home from work to find my self given b-day present here with all its accesories. Finally.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
I just did pre-order Note8 T Mobile with Black a moment ago. Show ship by 09/15. And got charged on card when I click PLACE ORDER.

Will it ship and delivery before 09/15 , if they ship by 15, I wont received until next monday , right ?

And how can I change shipping address ? I forgot to add my building number ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
Pretty sure it will come direct from Samsung when and if it ships.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

call samsung at 8557268721 and maybe they can change it. Us the call back option or you will be on the phone forever .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
Well. Got the note today! Woot! Pretty awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] siraloz:
My NOT8 has just arrived...

Not yet!

Still MIA. When it finds that missing E, it'll arrive as a NOTE8.

If it makes anyone feel better, here's my status: PREORDER :)

8/27, Unlocked, No Note7 Promo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
Congrats to you bro. Enjoy and let us know how that screen protector turns out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeekLight:
Well, ours showed up this afternoon, as Fedex indicated - yay! Now I'm just continuing to tweak the setup. Tomorrow I'll play with the 360, but today is all about the Note 8.

One last time, for posterity:

Two orders, Samsung direct:

1) TMO variant, midnight black

1) TMO variant, orchid gray

Order date: 8/29

Ship date: 9/8

Received: 9/12

It's been fun, all - good luck for those still waiting!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
Those that are still showing "Preorder" I would suggest calling SS up and talking to their CS about the status.

They have 2 different systems and it could be canceled on one side.

I had to go through this crap and re-ordering using a different email (thankfully I had 2 notes 7s tied to 2 different email or else I have to do more work to get proof of purchase and wait longer) because mine was canceled.

I would strongly suggest doing this if you had fraud detection from your payment source.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayster0966:
Thanks bro. Screen protector applied nicely. Takes patience to tease the curved edges but real happy with it. So far so good with the phone. Charging it overnight and start putting it through its paces tomorrow. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
My card got charged and smooth .

Order today and no idea when will be ship out ? Maybe tomorrow ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
Nice and congrats...

I preordered my unlock on the 27th and is canceled and my new re-preorder is slated for sometime in october.

Sadpanda
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
I did pre order with TMobile version and super easy to unlock later by contact them via Facebook , got unlocked since day one when I got my s8+ direct from Samsung .

Anyone here preorder today or yesterday and status got changed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
Youre saying your bank canceled the order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
No, the bank did not cancel my order... samsung did.

My payment was on hold until I processed it from the app. I did this inside an hour and was told that the order will go through.

I called up Samsung the next day and the CS told me everything is looking good.

The day it was suppose to ship I called CS again because the order was still in preorder state.

The CS told me the order was canceled by me.... and he straight up said I pressed the cancel button on the order screen.

That is what happened...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
I'm still in preorder and the payment is back in my account after being processed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikevipe:
Pre-ordered August 27 from Samsung USA, Unlocked version.

Still shows pending even though it previously told me a ship date of 9/11. All Samsung support will say is there is a big delay and can not give me a new estimate on shipping.

Complete bull. Now the live chat on their site is disabled and goes to a form to inquire about order status.

Way to go Samsung. Might have to cancel and stick with my Pixel XL until the new one comes out if I don't get a response soon :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xfaega:
Ordered my on 8/29 unlocked version. Ship date also showed 9/11 but status still shows preorder. Called yesterday and the cs that was helping me could barely speak english. Anyway I asked if my order was canceled and he replied no. He told me my order is confirmed what ever that means. Still showing preorder. Hope it ships out today. GLTEO
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Jedi:
Finally they sent my phone. Should have it today. They screwed up my address by not putting my apt number on it. So FedEx said they will hold it and allow me to come in and pick it up. I work nights so I hope they will let me pick it up after work. I hope the wait was worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Samsung is playing games cause they have really f'ed up this process. They, I believe, are canceling orders and blaming cc fraud detection. I have talked to my bank twice now and they said they never denied charges. Offered to be on 3 way call with Samsung if I wanted.

I did find a CEO's email on the Samsung US website and will start blowing that up today. Mainly because I don't think I am getting the phone this week. I ordered on the 24th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Did you just message them saying hey unlock my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
According to Best Buy if you order an unlocked version you will have it by Tuesday but you don't get the benefit of the discounts/freebies. Maybe Samsung figures since they are giving something up they can handle the pre-order with the direct customers "willy nilly?"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
I ordered 2 unlocked variants on the 26th

I did not take advantage of the note 7 discount even though I am a previous N7 owner

Payed via PayPal

original email stated ship date 9/11

still in pre-order status.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
It seems that the unlocked version is the phone that most people are waiting on.

My unlocked is stuck on preorder and samsung service is worthless in telling anything about why it is not shipping.

I talked to customer service last night and I think the non English speaking person told me it could be 3-5 days. The day before it would ship by the 13th, and the day before that it would ship the 11th.

I don't think they see any information that I cannot see on the samsung website.

Ordered 8/24.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Hope you're all enjoying your N8s (the 9/12 receivers)

My only gripe is the lack of option to expand YouTube vids from edge edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sentra52:
I just spoke with a Samsung CSR and was told that all orders place before the 1st will ship this week. There were/are some delays due to the weather situations and some orders are being shipped that are showing pre-order status. She stated that if I did not receive a tracking notice or my order within the next 3 days, that I should call back. How true this is is yet to be seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Kind of get the impression the C/S reps say anything to move on to the next call, not sure I put a lot of faith in what they say. This does feel very similar to the experience when buying the Google Nexus devices, shipment does not go on a first come first serve basis. Not sure why the unlocked version seems to be the slowest of the bunch, if they had different storage options you could at least point a finger at that as the rationale but with one storage only??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
Update: I got confirm yesterday but no tracking number or anything. Order on 8/26, unlock and shipping to AZ. I did call to check on order yesterday. I was told order is confirm and I will receive tracking soon. She also shared that all of the memory card is on back order and won't know when they will be in. When asked where will the phone be coming from rep shared Samsung has like 3 DC location. Indiana, Texas, and Atlanta. I asked will mine come from Texas. Rep doesn't know. Thought I shared my experience and info to help those that are still waiting. My cc was charge yesterday also. Still as of right now no tracking number.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I assuming that the unlocked version was the one purchased the most, which is why shortly after preorders opened it went into back order.

Probably also was the one they made less of considering the US is a carrier centric market.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
You can do it you just don't know how to lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayster0966:
When you flip the phone sideways and press on the video a white popup button appears to expand the video.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
I went through the order process to see what the delivery time is for the unlocked model ordered today and the estimated ship date is mid-October...YIKES! Not exactly helping sell the people who may be on the fence considering the iPhone 8 or the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcjr:
Disliking their order process

I'm in the process same boat as everyone else. Ordered on the 4th and sitting here wondering if the original sent email posted to the to 14th even matters plus I've not had a charge to go to card and I fell off the card. They really need to be get their order process together. I sorry for the run on sentencing. Posted from from note 3... I also took part of the note 7 and employee discount for th total was only 225.. Maybe that's why I hold up?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
Got my AT&T branded N8 order yesterday, pre-ordered on 8/26. I got the wireless charger, but the SD card didn't ship yet.

It looked like most of the AT&T bloat was not there, that was nice to see. So far love the device...... LOVE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
Order yesterday . Today I checked status and still show PREORDER . Call samsung and they said my order has been Confrimed on their system , and told me my device will ship on 09/15 and will deliver next monday 09/18 . Told them I paid extra for next day shipping and they said Fedex dont delivery on weekend !!!! I hate Fedex , why SS dont use UPS instead .

By the way I asked them change my ship date to 09/14 and they said Samsung cant control that , only on warehouse . Anyone here have samsung warehouse number so I can call ??

Calling Samsung will wait around 3 hours and more, just use call back service , fast and easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycrosswalker:
So, just to add one more data point:

Ordered 9/6/17, verizon, paid with payment plan, gear 360. Confirmation email said "will arrive by September 14th".

Just went through the purchase process again to see what the delivery time is on the verizon ones, told me "will ship by the 15th". Leads me to believe that it might only be a few *days* behind, rather that weeks behind.

Here's hoping.

*Edit*: no shipping confirmation email as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I've lost all hope... Damnit Samsung. We might as well all expect it to arrive next week now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Dude seriously? Get out of here with that ordered yesterday stuff complaining and calling Samsung! Some of us still have orders from 8/28 thst still are at pre-order that were promised ship by dates of 9/11 that still didn't ship yet, and mine wasn't even an unlocked one!

Dont tie up Samsung needlessly when you just ordered yesterday! You will be lucky to get yours by October dude.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx4700 Killer:
My order, placed on the 3rd, changed to Confirmed 2 days ago. I still see confirmed with no tracking info and I don't know if samsung.com will show tracking info, I've never bought direct from them before. Anyway, I got a notification from Fedex of something coming from: BRIGHTPOINT NORTH AMERICA TRAFFIC Department 501 AIRTECH PKWY etc.... and I googled that and see its probably go something to do with my order.

The only issue is I paid $14 for overnight and fedex tracking says they shipped 2 day ?! I will be calling for a $14 refund if that is the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
Update on my order...

So my phone was just delivered and it's awesome!

Ordered Aug 25 Unlocked Black

Got confirmed status Sept. 7

Shipped Sept. 11 with micro sd and charger

Received today Sept. 13

Happy camper, you guys hang in there it's worth the wait!

Oh and I have tmobile service and wifi-calling works perfectly no setup required.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
LOL there are people that ordered the week of the 26th last month and are barely getting them. Then you ordered yesterday and expect it by the 14th Lol, stop trolling. You'll be alright waiting until the 18th..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Ordered 31st black unlocked

Got email today payment issue. Don't know why cause funds are already in there. So I went in an added the same debit card and now payment is pending. Hopefully we can get some movement now. It still says pre-order on website.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
I got fed up with Samsung and canceled my order (placed on 9/8). Ordered through Amazon will get it tomorrow (shipped already) and is eligible for pre-order promo registration
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sirdragonx:
Ok, quick question. I got the Note 8 unlocked on the trade in deal. There is no paperwork inside to box on how to send in the trad in phone. Only email I have recieved is the one that it shipped. How does this work. Will they send me some kind of instructions via email later?

Has anybody processed your trade in? What's the process? I don't want Samsung charging me the 425 bucks for not sending it in if they never told me how.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thecarp1975:
Ordered on 9/7, VZW varient. Cancelled my order today. I think they're gonna miss a their "a day early" delivery by a mile. Retailers can get the phone out in an timely fashion, but the manufacturer can't. Off to Best Buy tomorrow to pre-order and go back Friday to pick it up. $150 off too! I love Samsung's phones, but after this and the S8 pre-order headache, I'm sticking with the retailers. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
I ordered 8/29 carrier locked sprint, email said "will arrive by September 14th"... and mine is still preorder status. I called Samsung multiple times approaching the fourteenth, and first three calls the representative guaranteed me the device would be in my hands by Thursday the fourteenth. Here we are today (9/13) and no change in my order status; there is 0% chance to have in my hands tomorrow. My fourth and current call with Samsung, the new story is that "I missed the first shipment but they are sending another out tomorrow (9/14) and my device will be in the second shipment." So they will blatantly lie to move to the next call. I am currently waiting for someone higher up in the chain, and I've been told the managers are so busy it will be another hour before they can get one to talk to me. 98% chance I'm canceling with samsung, 30% chance to get the next google phone, 30% chance to stay iOS.

TLDR; sammy will **** you order from anyone else

edit: the higher up was much more human, but atm I still don't know when I'll have the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx4700 Killer:
Lol well just got my $14 overnight refunded. While they couldn't confirm the tracking number I gave them was my phone, they agreed the origination info was their distro center so they gave me a refund on the overnight shipping and said it seemed like the distro center wasn't even updating shipping status "now". Friday it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Not that shocking that Samsung is "limited" in their supply of unlocked phones that they are willing to rebate but other retailers like Amazon have stock in the unlocked version and will be shipping out Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Ok they took payment for second time. I ordered on August 31 unlocked. They put a hold on payment for a week then released. Today they took payment again. How long after they take payment for the second time do they actually ship?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I hope this sheds some light... I emailed Samsung 2 days ago and finally got a response. Just a quick note, I bought att note 8 on 9/8 and literally checked my status and it still shows PRE ORDER. Here's the email response:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Don't really get how that sheds any light.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Well it's nice to know that it's in the fulfillment status... My issue was that my order status never changed so I was concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmwade77:
You have to login to your account and select My Orders, then print the label apparently, I just checked on mine and found that out.
