ah, looks like they just charged my card this morning, but only for $550, only the phone and the gear VR are said to be in the box... nothing mentioned about camera not being in stock just shows still as "pre-order". $550 would be cost just for the phone, maybe they gave me the VR ($109) for free as comensation?

So a lot of us that pre-ordered early (within the first 3 days) have now had to wait until a week AFTER release date meanwhile others have received their phones ALONG WITH THEIR GIFTS.. ****ing Samsung, wont bother pre-ordering anything from them again

How did you hear bout the $50 discount.. I'm also receiving mines tommorow.. Was supposed to get it on Sept 14..smh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
I ordered the Verizon version from Samsung on the 18th. They shipped it yesterday and I got a message on my phone that a Fedex Package was coming from Indianapolis. I only received the email this morning for some reason. I'll get it today as I opted for the express shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Called CS and they said they is a 50 dollar promo on my notes.

Well wasn't that just sweet as pie! Too bad it's not true!

I ordered my Note 8 on September 19th, expedite shipping and still backordered, Thanks Samsung

You ordered alllll late tho

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

How do you know if you got the preorder delay promo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELEXCEER:
True, but I ordered before it on the 14th and I had a problem with the bank blocking the purchase, so I had to buy again and none of them told me the problem until I called Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
So quiet now, did everyone get their phones ?. Still on confirmed woooo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:

Lovin' it excepting Samsung keyboard and messaging. Stayed up till past 2:00 a.m. playing with the phone, now I'm sleep deprived.

Haha.. That's gonna be me tommorow ?.. SwiftKey can solve this that problem ??

Cool, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what letter does your order number start with?

---------- Post added 2nd September 2017 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 1st September 2017 at 11:59 PM ----------

What letter does your order start with?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havok8301:
Order number starts with M
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Wonder what the letter means, Mine is D. Did you pre-order as soon as it went live? Trying to guesstimate how their system works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havok8301:
I ordered mine the day after on the 25th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewNY:
I'm seeing confirmed now too. (maybe because they charged my CC today?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblesense:
I really don't get Samsung, US customers (previous Notes7 owners) are being offered discounts, early priority shipping for the N8 preorders. What about UK customers, don't we count??? How come we're not being offered anything? I preordered Note8 the day it was announced, still nothing, no progress!

I am very happy for the guys in US but Samsung are not treating UK customers fairly. Many of us previously owned Note7 too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
how can you check and see if your order is confirmed or not? Mines just say Pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] angled:
I ordered on the 24th just before noon Central Time and mine switched to confirmed sometime today. My order starts with an M too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keldig:
WOW so Verizon is shipping already

http://bgr.com/2017/09/01/galaxy-note-8-preorder-verizon-shipping-already/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I checked mine it still says pre-order. Mine starts with D. I did order on the 31st. Unlocked version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Mine starts with M5xxxxxx still at preorder...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonly1:
D5XXXXXXX here...preorder status. Ordered on 8.24
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
D5XXXXXX ordered on Aug 25

Says preorder
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan5791:
Yeah it seems like the carriers will beat us to the punch. Which is mind blowing. My status still hasnt changed even though I know my card was charged. I ordered on the 24th order number M5xxxx. As long as I get it within the next 2 weeks I guess I'm fine. It just sucks cause I know someone's getting it before me ?. Pretty petty but what can I say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
It is what it is... We (Note7 owners) still got the best deal out there, so what if it's a few days later.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keldig:
Agreed as long as it doesn't go into a month...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heatfan91:
M order number. Ordered Verizon (Note 7 offer) on the 27th. Fwiw, I have an M order number and on my CC pending charge it shows Samsung Minnetonka MN. So Im curious if the D orders were order from a city/state with a D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
If you go pre-order the unlocked right now it will go into October. If my unlocked is delayed I will change it to the Verizon version and it will ship immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonly1:
Starting vs. in hand are two different things. [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keldig:
Exactly!!!! Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Ordered 9/6 Black unlocked Note 5 trade in, still in "pre-order" status. 16 days with zero change AND the phone is readily available elsewhere...... beginning to irritate me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] browniegirl:
That's funny I'm the opposite. I finally got more than 2 hours and haven't played with it at all. Felt too overwhelmed cause I was beyond tired.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juggamonkey:
Same here ordered 9/5 though. ..you get the note 7 discount as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purock:
Ordered Black unlocked on 9/7 with Note 7 Promo (I originally ordered 8/24 but without the Note 7 Promo and cancelled). Still on pre-order as well.

I was hoping they would treat Note 7 owners a bit better by ensuring we get our orders first. But I guess they figure we'll buy the phone no matter what (wait or otherwise).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
I couldn't find my receipt, I had deleted my original Samsung account because I was having an issue with Samsung Pay so I didn't feel like jumping through hoops for a couple more dollars.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Mine it's on FedEx truck on the way to my house!:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bob the noob:
Update:

Ordered 8-29, Note8 unlocked/memory/charger combo, original order email said 'will ship week of 9-25'.

Just got the shipping email for the phone (9-22) so I should have it Tuesday 9-26. Memory/charger still shows pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Finally a tracking number!!! Ordered on 9/8, at&t variant. So lame, expected delivery is 9/26 if it does go out today...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidMT909:
Everything exactly the same here except I ordered it a day later than you. Hurry up Tuesday!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gclancer:
Ordered Black unlocked on 9/4 with Note 7 Promo but still showing pre order.

Decided to just get the exynos dual sim instead for $890 on ebay with 8% ebay buck so only $820. Not a bad deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyclejoc:
I just got confirmed. The SD card and charger are backordered. How long after confirmed till it's shipped? Thanks.

9/19

Verizon Variant

Confirmed status

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

UPDATE: 9/22

Neither of my two 2 orders show shipped. But I got a Text Message from FedEx that I have package coming Monday that requires a signature or signature release form. I need sammy to update my orders so I know which to cancel lol ::excited::

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

4:35 PM..Shipping email from Samsung...Its the Verizon Variant.. I went ahead and canceled the unlocked variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killemalll:
I pre-ordered on 8/25 and got it on 09/12.

So far I'm quite impressed. Feels like a step up from my old S8. Main differences I noticed are: responsiveness, screen colors, Bluetooth connection and sound quality (hard to do worse than the S8 thou). Battery also appear to be slightly longer than I got on S8. Got the Gear360 as gift. Digging it a lot as well and puts the VR set to use.

Just got my grey one in. Still waiting on my SD card. Not expecting it until October.

Got my note 8 w att from Fedex this morning :)

Now I must be a little special... but I just spent 10 minutes on the samsung order pages and then in this forum... but I can NOT find anywhere where to print a return label for my GS5. I did see where to return the Note 8. I did go through many pages on here and they just say click on the link. Can someone give DETAILED directions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrenchJo67:
Here is a screenshot. No track button for the return
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Here's my order page.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrenchJo67:
Makes more sense! Thank you

I guess I'll wait until early next week and see if my page updates
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
You can have a look on a laptop from the Samsung site directly. That Samsung mobile app is crappy! It always shows something different from the site.

Crap website doesn't work properly. Can't get the option to add trade in since its greyed out. Samsung app doesn't give me the 425 trade in value. 4+ hr wait to talk to a sales person.

See if using a different browser will help. I know that the new Windows browser has issues. Every time I tried to finalize my order it said ' not available, try again later' or something like that. Switched to to Chrome and bingo!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Will do, it's horrible to see some of the wait times... it's irresponsible on samsung's part. I would have pre-ordered if finances allowed at the time. Glad i didn't.... fingers crossed for my fellow Notes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmarquis:
Sep 4 unlocked order

Still haven't received any notice as of 9/23. Original email order response said the bonus 360 camera would arrive 9/14, phone would follow after 10/1. Nothing yet.

Have called several times. One agent said they would expedite shipping when available from 2d day to overnight. Next agent said that they couldn't do this.

Oh, well. Guess I will continue to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crshin2me:
Even though I finally received finally received my phone as great as this device is I'm still pissed I pree ordered under the premise I would get it on or before release day I think there should be a compensation for those of of us who had to wait or still waiting for device . How do you get that when u can't reach anyone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Ordered 9/6 unlocked black still no change pre-order status, running thin on patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sand00ns:
Seems to differ by phone carrier and/or variant maybe?

Me, right now...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragoncrouch:
I ordered on 9/2 and I still haven't even received the first email saying it was going to be a longer wait time. I ordered the black unlocked version. Planning to use it on T-mobile. I haven't called Samsung yet, but I definitely plan to call in on Monday and complain..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Welcome to Monday, a new week a new day and yet the same old "preorder" status. They injected like what a few thousand unlocked SnapDragon variants but a sh1T ton of locked carrier models? I would just as soon have the Exynos version but I love Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
Man I feel so dumb. Cancelled my unlock pre-order to get the TMO variant but website doesn't work for me. Can't get past picking the color. Samsung app wants to charge me full price after I hit the pre-order button. CS rep can't help since they said I have to use the website to get the 425 discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
[/LIST]

Same problem here, but now I can get past the color and choose which device I am trading in BUT now in the cart it says the trade-in promo code is invalid and wants to charge the full cost of the phone, not to mention the Note8 promo gifts are no longer an option because Samsung's site was screwed up the last few days. Jesus Christ get your $^%# together Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
yeap in the same boat. worst experience ever, if I wasn't for the $425 discount, I would stick with my S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Perhaps get on the phone with an agent from the promotions department and have them place your order or at least clear up this nonsense... i.e note your account to ensure you remain eligible for the promotion whether they fix the site or not in a timely manner
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I called Samsung Direct yesterday at 1:30PM and it said there was a 2 hour hold on the phone, so I opted for the call back. They didnt call me back until 7:00PM. When they did finally call me she created some Case # and told me it and took my info but she said it could take up to 48 hours to get a call back, what a joke. I already have my Note8, I am just trying to get another under my other Samsung account for my brother since I registered the Note7's with 2 different Samsung accounts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
The promotional items was for a limited time with limited quantities. I'ts likely they are not offering the promo any longer.

Edit: And it's been 1 month 1 day since the N8 was available for purchase. Coincidence?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Regardless if the free items are no longer available, there is no expiration date for the Note7 owners promotion. This is where the issues arise, you are not able to complete your order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
Ordered black unlocked Sep1st stayed preorder until Sep22nd

Got it early today.

I'm happy now after waiting all month.

Confirmation email said delivered 1st week of October when order was placed. So not everyone is getting it that late. Just be patient.

My 360 went from preorder to backordered now. Thanks Samsung

The Note 7 promo expires on Sept. 30, just an FYI for people who are planning to still jump onto it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juggamonkey:
Well that gives me hope .mine shows same thing. week Oct 1 .ordered on Sept 5th . Still on preorder
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragoncrouch:
Today I waited on hold for two hours only for the rep to tell me "That's a ridiculous pre-order time-frame" and "I can't help you, I'll escalate this to the warehouse". So..two hours lost for nothing it seems. Mine still says it's on backorder...

:'(

I just want my note.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blues fan:
Are you tracking it from Samsung.com or FedEx, UPS website? The Samsung.com one is not very accurate on updates. Track directly from FedEx or Samsung.

It took me 12 days to get my Note 8 because UPS missed the flight to my airport and then the next day flew it to Miami and then it for stuck there for 6 days because of Irma. I was pretty ticked for almost a week my Note 8 was sitting 140 miles away from me and I couldn't get it.

Sounds like it's shipping ground or two day maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I'm using the FedEx website. Still no changes. Maybe it's near me just not scanned in yet? Idk... We'll find out soon enougg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Where is this information located? I looked through the FAQ and details section and also did an online chat with Samsung and they said it ends October 3rd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Ordered 9/6, unlocked still no change from pre-order, just about an effing joke.

I get same issue on Samsung app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] njschwartz:
I'm with you man! No movement at all. So close to hitting the cancel button....the $425 deal is the only thing stopping me. Beyond frustrating though. I feel like the people who were loyal should have been treated better. I really don't understand why the unlocked version is on such a back order compared to the carrier versions either. So close to losing it with Samsung!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
I'm going off the terms and conditions of the offer email you use to get the discount. Could be they extended the time due to all the screwups, but we know how reliable Samsung CS can be.

I Ordered mine unlocked direct in the United States on August 31st. Received a shipped email on September 22 and the phone is arriving today September 26th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
so I called Samsung and they told me now I have to wait for 7-10 business days to receive a link to purchase the 8 at the discount. lol. so I cancelled the unlock to get the MTO and now it will arrive way later, lol. what a joke, can't believe this.

Mi Mix 2 is looking so good right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
i cancelled 3 orders 3 different days. Unlocked, Tmobile, And unlocked. Walked into att and bought one. Since i have to pay full price with att i bought it again from Samsung for the discount. It's getting delivered today. If it wasn't for the deep discount and freebies i would have skipped this phone. Samsung is terrible but their screens are awesome.
