I ordered early this morning, maybe I'll get super prioritized with the note 7 deal and get it this week ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorePAIN:
Don't believe them dude. I've been dealing with it since the 24th. It may be held up like mine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan5791:
I understand he's mad but to blame the company for his actions or procrastination is unreasonable. If a friend ranted about wanting an iPhone 8 and didn't preorder it the first two or 3 days preorder was live or wait outside in a line for it the night before and their phone got delayed by a month I'm gonna tell that they should have preordered earlier I mean this happens every year we know every year these phones are in high demand and the company ships very little out.

I would also tell my friend to wait on release day and go to your nearest bestbuy as soon as it opens and buy it there. I usually do that but it's easier for me because I buy them outright. This is actually my first online preorder. But again if he can't manage to do that and walks into a store 1 week after release of the phone and there's none in stock. Then again that's his fault. And he has no reason to be complaining about it. High demand phones run out of stock quickly as we all know

I'm not believing their game they're trying to run on me. I'm on Reddit and there's plenty of ppl that ordered on the 24th still sitting on Pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] allklrnoflr:
Yep, my tracking number is blank to. It's kind of strange because I can't track it under the MyUPS app either. Usually it will show a label printed at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
I have no update from UPS on mine, but that is typical of UPS. On weekend movement I usually do not see any update from midnight Friday until midnight Sunday. Since Monday is a holiday I do not expect any update on UPS until tomorrow night at midnight. This does not mean, however, that the item is not physically moving within the UPS system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
The person I asked made it sound he had a solid delivery day. That's why I asked him.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
When did you pre-order? 29th?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorePAIN:
I pre-ordered on the 24th called back the next day cause I hadn't received a confirmation email. Was told to cancel but I waited a few days. Status didn't change called back again and was told order was placed from an unsecured website and placed in risk status and I needed to cancel it and place it over. I did that on the 28th. Called back to check status and it's been hell since. They've been telling me so many different things and escalated it 3 times. I've reached out on social media , emails, phone calls and no answer only being told I have to wait 3-5 days to get a response and I may have to call and reorder. It's insane dude. Considering I had that NOTE 7 debacle. 4 NOTE 7S I had to return and forced to get a phone I didn't want. I had no intention of coming back to Samsung but this offer was too good. I really don't care when I get it I just want to know it went thru. I even went thru SAMSUNG financing with TD BANK and got approved instantly. I've been promised callbacks it at least an email to keep me up to date nothing. This sucks balls it was supposed to be a birthday present for the wife. I was gonna surprise her with at least an order confirmation. Oh well rant over..... Sorry y'all lool
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Wow, yeah that is very unfortunate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
To give a more specific timeline of my transaction with Samsung so far (for comparative purposes):

Aug 24 - received email from Samsung offering the discount.

Aug 24 - pre-ordered unlocked version (ONLY the black color was available--slightly disappointing as I wanted the orchid grey).

......Cost was $504 plus tax -- I saved about $42 in tax because the tax was based on the

actual

purchase price of $504. The carrier charges tax on the full retail price regardless of discounts or promotions.

Aug 24 - my credit card company notified me of a pre-authorization request from Samsung to cover the $544 due.

Aug 25 - Samsung confirmed that the order was in process as my credit card charge had been approved.

Sep 1 -- my credit card company confirmed that the charge had posted.

Sep 3 -- Received email from Samsung "Your order has shipped," and it included a tracking number.

Sep 3 -- Received second email almost immediately, confirming shipment of the Gear 360 camera. (same tracking number)

As with any number of companies that use UPS, once the package has been entered on the shipping manifest, it is marked as shipped. Whether UPS actually has the package in its possession remains to be seen. I wonder if the Labor Day holiday will affect shipping. Seems likely, and I don't know from where the phone is shipping. Samsung has its main headquarters in New Jersey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
I ordered Unlocked on the 25th, still no update, is it because I created a new credit line with them? Anyway if there's no update by 9/11, I'm gonna cancel and wait until Black Friday ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonly1:
Mine was not unlocked, but I too created a new line of credit. I did order a day ahead of you, but I'm sure you're getting closer! Hang in there!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Samsung does not physically ship: it is handled by an e-commerce logistics fulfillment company, Digital River, which has a few locations around the country though based in MN. In fact, your credit card should have a charge from DRI or Digital River.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I ordered on 24th, unlock and paid in full, they placed hold on my cc(which has since fallen off) no Samsung financing, and my status hasn't changed since that day. So your mileage may vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah the last 2 S8+ I purchased from samsung.com, they where shipped out of warehouse down by Indianapolis,IN :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
I was wondering why the charge said "DRI Samsung". Thanks for the clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
Ordered mine 8/24 and my order status just changed to backorder within the last hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
Yes, unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jselden:
Ordered on the 24th and it changed to confirmed this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Apparently tmo orders are going to back order now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
Wow. I almost ordered the unlocked version but went with the TMO version instead to make sure I get the free hour of gogo when flying every month. Now I am glad I didn't pull the trigger on the unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
If all else fails, I'll get one through Verizon after the 15th, if I can find one in stock. I still have a corporate contract, so I can get one by upgrading as long as I don't change my plan. I never use Verizon's apps, so I thought I'd go unlocked this time around. Cost more to go unlocked, but I will not have to use my upgrade. And apparently I'll have to wait longer to get it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jongcruz:
I always have unlocked phones with T-Mobile and when I fly I have no problem getting free internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
I agree, I fly all the time too...all you have to do is type in your t-mobile number and some information to have access. It's not base on phone but your phone number and etc....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jongcruz:
Exactly, is based in your T-Mobile sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xcaliburpcs:

When did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Mine "shipped" early yesterday AM, and still nothing showing in the UPS system. Stupid Labor Day. Hoping by tonight it shows up and I get it tomorrow since I paid the extra shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sloanster:
You will get it Wednesday!

I'm expecting mine Thursday, but that's ok... in time for the weekend!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sloanster:
Ups schedule

Here ya go...

**Hit that thanks meter**
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
This is just for deliveries. There is still package movement and the sorting and such still goes on. I know I have other packages from UPS and USPS right now that I am tracking and they have had movement, including today.

I still think those of us who paid for overnight could get the phone tomorrow. This is how those who ordered from Verizon are scheduled to get their phones delivered tomorrow.

But you are right, anytime this week is good really. I just want to make sure that I did not pay the extra 14$ for no reason to get it overnighted. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sloanster:
Once that package/box gets to the hub, it's on like a pot of neck bones...

Cuz the movement you see is internal movement since UPS is closed, no pick-up, no pick-up means no movement in their system...

It can move if they don't have It!

The hub won't get the pickup til driver returns late tomorrow then the party starts..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
So how am I getting other packages delivered tomorrow by USPS and UPS? They have moved locations. And they are not yet sitting at my local distribution centers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sand00ns:
Should be arriving before the weekend. Good job and kudos to Samsung for shipping our devices early! [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sloanster:
It's magic, you win....

You will get yours by carrier pigeon.. TODAY!

Good luck

I'm happy to get mine by the weekend?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Lol. I know I am not getting it today. I say tomorrow. My bet is after midnight tonight a lot of us will see movement and many will be getting them tomorrow. Others on Wednesday/Thursday.

Ordered mine on 24th from Samsung and it shipped UPS yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
s

Thats cool. I hope mines ships soon. When i contracted them they said they ship via Fedex and gift at a different time.

Im sign up to ups, fedex and usps. So when something goes into there system i get an email. But nothing yet for me.

My wife has already gotten a tmobile tracking number for her phone, but i know it doent mean its been ship yet.

She will probably get hers before me.

Happpen last time. I order both from tmobile. Mines then hers and her came the day before mines.

I went with samsung since ill be keeping my s8+ since i can get more from selling it then using the tmobile jump.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
I ordered on 8/24. I was not exited to see my order update as "backoredered" last night, but I woke up today to separate email for each item stating "shipped."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] briwil:
You're crazy, it's not showing up this week. I also received my tracking number yesterday, also not showing up yet it UPS's system.

This happened last year with the Note 7 too, they create the shipping label and then sit on it for a week before finally delivering the phone to UPS two days before delivery date. I'm still expecting the 11th to 15th range.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase01:
You, my friend, are wrong.. just saying..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrexelDragon:
My CC was charged this morning. Samsung store order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcjc:
Charged, or pending? I am sitting at pending. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
Wondered about this. Mine doesn't even show a date yet. The main reason I picked up from Samsung is because of early shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I agree 100% if the 11th passes (as my confirmation date states for shipment) and the phone still has not been sent I will call Samsung up and they will be getting an earful! How can the company who makes the product ship out the phones slower than someplace like Best Buy who carries the device? How does the main distributor not have enough supply to meet the shipping dates?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
That and how can they tell one preorder note 7 promo holder one thing and another another thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorePAIN:
You should call them. I have been messing with them the past few days. Apparently the 1st order was going to be cancelled I was going to have to wait 3-5 days to replace the order. I said screw that and cancelled the orders and replaced them. Called again to confirm then they told me apparently it was on hold due to fraud? Told me it would be 24-48 hrs before they could confirm the order. I went through their websites financing bank and got approved. I call TD Bank and they are like wtf? You talking about no problems here. Meanwhile I've emailed Samsung and been calling them like crazy. Been a mess.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

So they called me after waiting an hour am now on hold over ten minutes... No idea why I was even placed on hold wtf Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishert16:
I chatted with Samsung today and was told all of the pre-orders through Samsung to date would be shipped by September 6th.

I asked if this was a fact and he said yes. How can their be so much misinformation within one company over one product?

If you go on Samsung and pre-order the unlocked version it now says shipping week of 9/24.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
I just noticed my email from them says shipping the 11th. Boo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiChDAiLLeST1:
I ordered my note 8 from Samsung and also used Ebates so I'm getting 425 off and an additional $87.54!

Boom baby!

You can use that link for Ebates then type Samsung in the search.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Mines said ships out the 11th for delivery on the 14th.

So we will see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] umair239:
Mine says: Will arrive by September 14th :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeekLight:
Just ordered mine today, and it's supposed to arrive by 9/14, per my confirmation. Of course, there's nothing that prevents it from arriving sooner.... (fingers crossed!)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I ordered the unlocked and went on the website to ask for this reason. It says 24th when it's in your cart but once your make your order the confirmation emails says the 11th. Samsung got back to me via email (surprisingly) and this is what they said. I am compiling information like this to used against Samsung if it does in fact not ship on September 11th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase01:
Well, my friend just got this and he's sprint.. so much for us getting them first
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
This one may ship the 5th...pick up is usually stalled until Samsung releases the okay to ship...it may ship now but with previous orders they were held until Samsung lifted the hold...since they state in their press release the 5th, this aligns perfectly. I hope, though it ships early. It is nice to see a shipping ready notice...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
Im not even a note 7 priority but thats still upsetting :crying: lol i know its only a week difference but still i want it now :D

My order is still "processing" no specific date yet (UK)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pbelcomp:
Since he was nice enough to give us his tracking number, we can all follow it's progress.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
And grab the box off his porch before he knows :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
That is horse-crap! I was asking them to speed it up because I am leaving my home.

I think they disabled the chat button because there were so many inquires about the same thing, can anyone still reach the live chat through Samsung.com/us ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
Haha yes

i just had a look on the UPS website it says this

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

i used his tracking number ;)

So I don't think the date shown is anything to rely on at the moment if Samsung don't send it to ups. Ups can't send it to them
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] briwil:
This is deja Vu, I remember having conversations just like this last year at this time, people telling everyone that the phones were going to show up a week early, talking about all the Samsung phones they've ordered in the past, etc. The Note 7 ended up shipping the day before it was released in stores.

Have you ever had a Samsung phone show up a week early for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
I ordered my T-Mobile one on 8/28 but I haven't gotten any shipping info yet, and the website still says Preorder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
One big difference this year though is the announcement for the new iPhone 8 will be taking place on September 12th. I guarantee you this is going to force Sammy to need to get these phones out earlier than September 11th/12th. Always in years past Sammy has made sure to get their Note out earlier than the iPhone announcement, and this will be even more important to them this year given the big changes that all are expecting for the iPhone 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Ordered two t mobile versions. Sept 2nd and sept 3rd. Got a confirmation email with order number for mine, but Mrs didnt get a confirmation email, what does that mean?

Both are in pre-order status on Samsung website.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MILH0U5E:
To make this more organized, please list the following about your order.

Date ordered

Carrier/unlocked

Shipment date in confirmation email

Current status

I ordered 8/27, unlocked, and 9/11 is shipment date in email.

Current status on Samsung is 'Preorder'
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kawaisa:
They have more the reason to ship it early this year given the imminent LG V30 and IPhone 8/X
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] briwil:
Ordered: 08/24/17

T-Mobile

Email shipping date: 09/11/17

Current Status: Shipped

(Also taking advantage of the 'Former Note 7 Owner' offer, if that makes any difference).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
I also think we should state whether we're former Note 7 owners or not and if we took the discount with phone exchange. It seems like everyone who already has shipping confirmation also took advantage of the Note 7 discount. I went back to my Note 4 after I turned in my Note 7, so I couldn't get the discount. I've gone back through the order process just to check, and that seems to be the only criteria they use to determine who was a former Note 7 owner. I'm ok without getting a discount, but if this is also the one and only determining factor in who gets their Note 8 a week early I'll be a little upset.

I ordered 8/24, unlocked, and 9/11 is shipment date in email.

Current status on Samsung is 'Preorder'

Former Note 7 owner, paid full price, no phone to exchange
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigwest:

was a former Note 7 owner and took the 425.00 discount trade in for my G4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dzigns:
You should still be able to take advantage of the Note 7 offer. All you need to have is the email address you registered your Note 7 with. I turned in both of my Note 7's reluctantly when they shut them off...however I was still able to purchase 2 Note 8's with the discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I am currently on a pixel and used the Note 7 trade in promo, Samsung can see every sammy device I have logged in with so soon as I logged on to their site I was pre approved for the promo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
This year it's called Labor Day holiday when UPS and FedEx don't work: trust me, you will have the phone this week if you received a shipping email confirmation as Samsung wants to have phones in people's hands before the iPhone announcement. Many already have confirmations they will receive tomorrow at the earliest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase01:
S6 and S7 were shipped early my friend
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
AGREE. Sammy wants a lot of buzz from N8 users before the 12th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
A lot of crying in this thread are Note 7 owners who still have orders in the"Preorder" phase. Mine is still preorder and I got the Note 7 promo. Try to get the promo! (Although you might have to cancel and reorder and lose your place in line) I returned my Note 7 and went back to the Note 3 and Samsung was the one who emailed me to let me know I was eligible for the discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
So, you were able to get the discount without exchanging a phone or are you turning in your Note 3? I never got an email from Samsung, I just went on their website and preordered on day 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] briwil:
Yes, that is true, and that was one of the reasons everyone said the Note 7 was going to ship early, but things change. Getting preorders in the hands of preorderers (who would never buy the new iPhone in the first place) is not a priority.

Look, I'm definitely hoping you guys are correct, I want mine as badly as everyone else, but I dont think people should be telling others that they'll be getting theirs this week when there's reason to believe that they haven't actually shipped yet (which they haven't).
