Just got an update payment email from Samsung, now my status is pending confirmation, with arrival on 14th?? So 2 days late and still charging me for next day. At least it's a change. This just happened at 9pm MST(WYOMING) So maybe check your orders page, they gave me an 8 hrs window to fix, glad I caught it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
You should have them return the overnight fee. Sick of seeings Samsung do this

Dang nothig new for me... Just PRE-ORDER.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
They might have screwed me, if my cc thinks it's fraud cause they had a hold for 10 days, then it dropped off, and now a week later try and charge again, after hours when I can't call Samsung or the bank, ****ing fishy. I have sent them 3 emails and twice called and can't get them to respond. Yet they pull this **** at night and give me 8 hrs to fix... Ugg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I wonder if the fraud issue is because of the Equifax breach ?

Ordered mine from ATT friday and it shipped same day. Arrived yesterday! Glad I didnt order directly from samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Does your say by 8pm also? I believe my FedEx guy comes around Noon-3pm so I shouldn't have to wait until 8pm (fingers crossed) but there hasnt been any movement in close to 36 hours. I could have drove to the Sort Facility in 45 minutes and picked up the package instead of waiting another 2 days haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Yessir. But i should receive mines at around the same time as yours. Can't freakin wait.

My job is closed today. Thank gawd. I can receive my order from FedEx directly. Today is our Xmas!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GallardosEggrollShop:
Yup, mine has showed no movement in the last 36 hours as well. With a delivery date of 9/12 (today) by 8pm. Really hoping I get it! I'm just as excited as everyone else here. Here's to hoping we all get ours today and also before the 8pm time! lol

Do you have your electricity on?

Are you safe and alive?

Is your home/apt safe from damage?

Will you be getting your phone soon?

If you answered YES to all of the questions above, I suppose you are faring better than many right now.

Just a thought. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lv5vegetto:
Yes to everything thankfully thank you. The eye was less than 40 miles away but the rain bands caused the most damage. I'm in a wooden home but my roof was a hip roof so it handled the winds well... still sounded scary as hell all night

The bulk of us will see movement this morning as they were all held up till today for delivery. No idea why.

Nope
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Kinda, I did pay next day shipping and they held mine up till today with everyone else's units.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Alright killjoy! I've talked to people on the phone in the sales and customer service department not just chat. They all said they would start going out the 4th. Given that the carriers are sending theirs out now with UPS already having them with the date of delivery being the 5th or 6th, it would not be unreasonable to believe Samsung is going to ship them on the 4th or 5th.

Just because you have an original email and the order for a while gave a date doesn't mean that they didn't change their mind based on the fact that the final version of software might have been done earlier than they expected or for whatever reason.

I noticed that once early this week happened the dates on the order pages all were removed and it just said pre order. That would lead me to believe that the original date sent by email and that were on the order initially are not correct anymore. Now whether that is For Better or For Worse is anybody's guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewNY:
Thanks, I must have missed that or maybe they added it later. I'm not too worried since I ordered the unlocked version and the phone I'm trading in is actually unlocked too. (an iPhone 5 I bought used off Swappa). Hopefully others aren't too screwed by that provision.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Mine still shows Pending, ordered August 28th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
I'm not worried about the same carrier language: that won't hold as many people switch carriers. Just take pics of the phone your trading in and you should be fine. Amex will back me up otherwise.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

A pending charge now is still early for a phone originally scheduled to ship by 9/12-14. I'm wondering....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
Ophh thanks for that heads up. I'm now wondering if my previously carrier locked iphone qualifies for this. It's from a Canadian carrier, but I unlocked it.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

I hope I'm wrong about those dates, but I've made 2 phone calls to Samsung, first one on the 25th and another Today, and they both said around the same thing and shot down the sept 5th date. I really hope I'm wrong otherwise I'll have to cancel and live with my V20 for another month.

Lastly I'd like to add my pending charge from Samsung disappeared, I don't have anything withdrawn from them yet.

That's odd, this is the small print from the Note 7 email they sent me. Where did you get your small print? Maybe it's from their generic trade in program

* Limited time Samsung.com/Shop Samsung App offer. Subject to availability. You must be a verified former Samsung Galaxy Note7 owner to participate. Between 12:01 AM ET on August 24, 2017 and 11:59:59 PM ET on September 30, 2017, purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note8 and trade in a qualifying device, listed below, and subject to verification receive up to $425 in trade-in value ("Note7 Trade-In Value").

Requires qualifying purchase of a new Samsung Galaxy Note8 on Samsung.com or through the Shop Samsung App and receipt of qualifying trade in by Samsung. The following devices are eligible to be traded in for the Promotion: iPhone 5 and above, iPhone SE, Galaxy S5 and above (including Galaxy S Active models), Note 5, LG G4 and above, Google Pixel & Pixel XL.

By taking this offer from Samsung, you are not excused from your contractual EIP or lease payment obligation to the carrier or retailer for the device that was traded in.

Many on Reddit are reporting orders have shipped with delivery on September 5 including VZW, TMO and Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
Well I'm friggen jealous.

-------------------------------------------

In another note (no pun intended) It looks like the "same carrier" trade in is only required for orders for the S8 and not the Note 8 Pre-orders.

This is the site where it says you need to have the same carrier. Quote from it is down below.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/all-phones/s/_/n-10+11+hv1rp/

"*Limited time offer. Subject to availability. The following devices are currently eligible for trade-in under the Samsung Trade In Program in exchange for the applicable Trade-In Values listed above: iPhone 5 and above, iPhone SE, Galaxy S5 and above (including active models), Note 5, LG G4 and above, Google Pixel & Pixel XL. The devices must be in good condition (meaning it powers on and holds a charge; has a functioning display; has no breaks or cracks or other visible defects that go beyond normal wear and tear; and is not on a black list of any kind) to be eligible for Trade-In. Prior to trading in device, you must perform a factory reset and remove all personal information from device and eligible devices must have reactivation lock, Google Factory Reset Protection and all other anti-theft locking software disabled. Trade-ins must be received within 15 days of qualifying purchase. Qualifying purchase and trade-in device must be on same carrier. Devices not meeting these criteria will not qualify for the trade-in program. Samsung reserves the right to modify or discontinue this offer at any time. Additional terms apply. Click here for the Samsung Trade-In Program Terms to learn more."

This is the note 8 preorder which doesn't mention anything about same carrier. Quote is down below.

http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/buy/s/Trade-In/

"If you do not send in your Trade-In Device within 15 days of receiving your new device or if your Trade-In Device is not in good condition or is not otherwise eligible for Trade-In, you agree to pay Samsung the full trade-in value listed above or full trade-in value listed minus $25, respectively. You authorize such charge to be made on the same payment method, and same Samsung Financing offer if applicable, used for this transaction. No device will be returned to you. Click to see the Terms and Conditions and FAQs of the Samsung Trade-In Program."

This is the terms on conditions for trade-ins that both sites I quoted link to, doesn't say anything about same carrier.

http://www.samsung.com/us/trade-in/terms-and-conditions/

Lastly, here is the FAQ for Trade-ins, also doesn't mention anything about being the same carrier.

http://www.samsung.com/us/trade-in/frequently-asked-questions/

Considering the note 8 is the newest phone, I imagine they simply forgot to remove the "same carrier" from the main website.

I'm waiting for a call back from Samsung Support so I can find out definitively. I'll update once I have word.

Finally! Looks like we're getting them soon too boys! (and girls!)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
To add to the FOMO, I was looking at iphones at the Straight Talk website and came across their listing for the Note 8. It says ships by 9/5/2017 on the listing. Looks like all carriers will be shipping out theirs on Sept 5th.

And thanks for digging up all those T&Cs!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Yes the forums and sites are lighting up with reports of shipments!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
I just spoke to a Samsung rep about the trade-ins, I asked her "Can I trade in a phone from a different carrier?" She said "Yes, it shouldn't matter"

That was as definitive answer as I got. To cover my butt in case something happens, I wrote down the reference number for our conversation.

She also said that no store has the phones, they'll be getting them the 15th, which I believe, but she mentioned that no one will receive the phones until mid September. So i'll call bs on her remark when I see a person holding their Note 8 prior to Sept 12th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
She was wrong: they've already started shipping with deliveries starting Tuesday September 5. [emoji5]

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
I've never owned an iphone but now Samsung has screwed up my note 8 unlocked order, I will have time to see if the new iphone is worth a look. Samsung had a unlocked note 4 0r 5 order process that they screwed up worse than this one. If i remember correctly, the one day shipping didn't work then either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
My initial order I paid the extra $14 for next day shipping but decided its not worth $14 to just have the phone 1 day early so I cancelled and placed another order. I see alot of people still getting the same 2 day shipping and having to call Sammy and get the $14 refund, I'm glad I cancelled.

Welp it's a good thing my note 8 case arrives today. Amazon is the bestttt. I spoke to a Samsung rep earlier this morning, totally useless. She said that she saw the delivery date is by 9/15, so it'll probably ship tomorrow. I bought mine on 9/8, guess I shouldn't be complaining since most of you got it before then ?

Yeah I had to call them and wait on hold almost half an hour, so glad I did the call on my PC and just wasted time in xcom. They are either understaffed or just getting a lot of calls about this unit.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
just got off phone with Samsung , they are worthless. I tried not being to nasty with the rep , but they pulled the whole "your credit card denied that's why its delayed "crap , and then when I told her Ihad spoken with the bank and they didn't and my bank was willing to get on 3 way and tell that to Samsung , she didn't know what to say at that point. But that's how the call went , she had no answers , other than yes my order is there and should ship soon , but couldn't give me a date , couldn't tell me why people who ordered after me got the phone already , couldn't tell me why I am charged for next day and it still isn't here. Sad thing I waited over an hour on hold to get no answers. Oh and she said that a lot of people she had talked to this morning , were supposed to get 11th shipping and didn't . oh well , the saga continues....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I must say, this is the best way to wait for your package simply genius ?. Slightly glance down at my front yard Livestream via my soon to be traded in Galaxy S5 while on my Amazon prime tablet. I also opened all my front yard windows so I'll also hear the truck pull up.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Well you had them did you get them to refund the next day shipping? I called them and had to wait forever to get it refunded because FedEx lists the package as 2 day so I wanted my money back. You may get it faster from a carrier at this point from what some people have been saying.
