It's just the sim card. If it was the phone (which I thought so until I received the mail) I would have been shocked ... well i don't expect to see my phone until after the end of the month as per my original estimate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blaze9:
Just got mine. Unlocked w/ the Note 7 promo. Didn't come with a trade in return label like they said it would. Gotta call them and find out how to send in the phone. Came w/ the 256GB card and wireless charger. Loving it, it's great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
Just finish my online chat with samsung for today.

Status still BACKORDERED and was guaranteed again will receive my phon before 9/13.

In that case, I should get my tracking number in the weekend and the phone should ship out 9/11.

I hope.

CS said the BACKORDERED status is NORMAL.

Ok, let's see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blaze9:
Aug 25th. Got mine yesterday evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Boy they have one weird shipping system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SCDroid:
Shipped finally. Will be here Tuesday. Note 7 offer , Verizon note8 in Black
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dzigns:
Check the samsung.com website...the trade in should be one of the items of the order and then there's a print shipping label button.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Shipped!!! Hell yes!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] QuantumPSI:
Wow, a lot of confusion. I still don't have a confirmation either. I still have my Note 7 and I think that's why I'm ok with waiting. The Note 8 is a nice phone, but my desire for it isn't nearly as strong as it was when the Note 7 dropped. Difference though, is that, I was upgrading from a Note 4. The Note 7 was leaps and bounds superior to the Note 4 (not to mention my GPS was useless). However, I can't say there is anything in particular about the Note 8 that I just "have to have". Honestly, if the Note 7 wasn't recalled and there weren't so many deals, I'd probably keep it for another year until the Note 9 dropped.

Ah well. Just a few more days I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Mine shipped today, two day shipping but not getting here until Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Dang your 8/29, right? Just confirmed recently?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Yep. It's moving fast. Should get mine Tuesday.

What's the deal on yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Not much going on, still just says confirmed. Did your credit card show the transaction after it said confirmed? I have no charge on mine. When did your order confirmation say it was going to be shipped?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Its not charged yet. (They said it'll be charged once i get the device) which I'm still gonna check my account for a charge.

It originally said the 11th. 1 day later is no biggie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Cool, mine said 11th also for shipping which at this point I'll take it only being 3 days from now but to get a surprise email overnight would be cool... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdlt1:
Pre-order on 8.30

Note 7 promo

Verizon shipped today delivery of Tuesday
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Sounds like units are moving along.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
yes yes yes my case and screen protector arrived

phone? still in BACKORDERED status.

PRE-ordered on 8/25...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
Well FWIW, mine still shows confirmed lol. No shipping yet. Looks like next week is going to be the deal. Little bummed out I didn't have it for this weekend (only because it sucks trying to do all the setup and restoring while I'm working...)

Maybe it'll just show up tomorrow out of the blue LMAO! ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
It's going to be a race to see who gets it last. Mine still says preorder and was ordered 8/24. No email except the original one since then. Called Samsung and there was an hour wait but they called me back. I think all the info they have is the same as we see on Samsung.com. It has been a waste of time to call Samsung.

I ordered an unlocked note 4 or 5 and the order process then was about the same then. SNAFU.

Good luck to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
they must left our packages in warehouse restroom or somewhere..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnet:
Ha Ha, I'm in the same boat. Mine has been showing confirmed for a few days now, with no shipment information. MY UPS and FedEx accounts show absolutely nothing, LOL. I'm also hoping it will just show up tomorrow but I doubt it. I've ordered a lot of phones over the years and that's happened before, but not in a while. I will never understand why it's like this with Android phone orders, and it not just Samsung. I've had this happen with Google also, several times., I've just come to accept it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
Well, Samsung transfer software with it little dongle thing seems to do a pretty good job transferring your setup from you old device to you new phone, especially it you old device was also a newer Samsung model. I haven't used it yet, but I understand it will even tranasfer over you wallpaper and many of your settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
Smart Switch works well

I used Smart Switch to transfer data from a Note 5 and it worked like a charm. I did have to use a cable. but since an adapter (micro USB to Type C) is included, that wasn't a problem. In some cases, the transfer can take place wirelessly over an ad hoc connection the phone itself sets up. Just about everything came over (apps, app data, contacts, text messages, and even icon placement on menus). The wallpaper I was using did not transfer, but ringtones did and were still correctly associated with contacts. I did not opt to allow a restore from my Google account until I had completed the Smart Switch and I think that is wise. I'd rather let Samsung phone talk to Samsung phone first and be in agreement. Then I set up my Google account. I didn't swap out the SIM until everything was transferred. Then I wiped the Note 5 and popped out the SIM. Since I'd ordered an unlocked version, I wasn't 100% sure my Verizon SIM card would work properly, but it was highly likely. I installed the SIM and the 256GB SD card I'd kept from my returned Note 7, and everything booted up beautifully. 4G LTE... all working fine. And to think, not that many years ago, every change of device meant re-entering all one's contacts. That was tedious indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I went with a clean install, myself. I did backup to Samsung and had messages, contacts, etc...restored as well as s using helium to restore game and app data for specific apps...

I haven't installed my SIM yet because I am going to see what the local Sprint store is offering me Sat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
Finally this afternoon my status went from "preordered" to "comfirmed". A little while ago I it changed to "shipped".

I'd expect it to arrive as early as Monday or Tuesday, but due to Hurricane Irma it might take a little longer here in South Florida. Cures you Irma!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
...or not

It can be risky to be too adamant in one's opinions. The distribution of this phone required an entirely strategy for Samsung in trying to recover from the Note 7 debacle.

oh... and tacking on "LMAO" can sometimes come back to bite you in the "A" ... Been there, done that, said "ouch."

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy NOTE 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinkie00200:
haven't you guys evacuated yet? This one is serious and honestly I'm really worry about you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sand00ns:
I used the included accessories to transfer all my apps and data to my GN8 and download the Samsung Switch Mobile App, it was a breeze. I literally cloned my LGG6 to my GN8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
I was not able to get the orchid gray unlocked Note8 during preorder as it was shaded out. I might consider trading my black N8 for orchid gray N8 with someone locally. I'll even keep it sealed to do a fair trade. Tired of this pitch numb black color that I've had on my N7 and S8+.

Still waiting...preordered Sep1st unlocked, no notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
Was considering going to my sister on the west coast of FL when I looked like it was coming up my east coast. Then it shfted towards the center of the state, so id didn't really matter what coast I was on. Now it shifted again to the west coast so I'm staying put and she just left and is driving North. It will get ugly, but if it stays on west coast path we wont get the worst and most dangerous winds here. Fingers crossed. Convincing my dad we should relocate was proving to be difficult, anyway.

But thanks... Prayers are appreciated, if you are the praying type.

I went for the AT&T orchid gray because though I like the black better, all the smudges would annoy me. I also just ordered a matte black Dbrand skin for the back. Not usually into skins, but I think the black front and back with silver trim will look very nice, and no smudges to boot. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I aint the praying type but I'll send some your way all the same.

Ordered on the 1st of August

Switched to Confirmed yesterday (August 7th)

Switched to Shipped today (August 8th)

Expected delivery August 12th

Edit:

I'm an idiot. All those dates should say September
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeekLight:
UPDATE: Both of these now SHIPPED as of this evening, with a delivery date of 9/12!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
Same for me. Though I have to wonder why I paid for overnight like others, and got 2 day shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] impulse630:
I'm just curious if anyone else is in my boat... The day I did my pre-order (8/24), I had a authorization for my total order on my credit card - phone, freebies, and case. Then it dropped off, but 2 authorizations appeared on my card last weekend around the time I received my shipping confirmation email (one for phone, one for case). Since then, my phone has arrived (yay!), the charge for the phone has dropped off my card, and the charge for the case has gone through. It's odd, because the case hasn't shipped yet, but I've been charged for it, and the phone has arrived and i haven't been charged for it.

Has anyone else received their phone but not had their credit card charged?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beherrschen:
My card was charged. Then the charge came off and my order was listed as backordered. Then it shipped but the charge has not gone back on my card. I'll let you know if I get it and there's still no charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Unlocked or Carrier? Their shipping makes no sense why some older orders are still preorder or confirmed while younger orders are shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
Could have something to due with various carrier versions vs unblocked and the color chosen.

Yesterday mine went from ordered to confirmed to shipped to having a tracking number and movement all in one day. So I'm happy. Should arrive Monday the 12th, if Hurricane Irma doesn't cause delivery delays in South Florida.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
Update on me...

Ordered Aug 25

Unlocked Black

No Note 7 promo

Got confirmed 2 days ago, no signs of shipping.

Email did say ships 9/11, so I wait haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Replying to my previous post. Both ours got a shipping notification today.

Oh well, hopefully there will be an address to deliver to .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
In the same boat buddy, but I ordered 2 days later than you on August 28th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Just like the rest of you guys, I ordered 8/29, CC charged and changed to confirmed yesterday 9/8, shipped email via 2Day FedEx for 9/12 delivery received at 12AM 9/9. It left from Indiana and was left at the Indianapolis facility probably until Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
And the race for last to get the phone continues

-ordered 8/24 in am

-black unlocked US ver

-note 7 promo

Still pre order, no longer charges on cc, and no changes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
Wow... Kinda makes me think there is no order to their order system at all... Mine was in August 26th and no shipping yet. Been sitting in confirmed status for a couple days now. Based on seeing the order combinations on previous pages, I can't see any correlation between carrier/unlocked, color, or gifts that seems to be aligning to the dates these things are going out.

Seriously, orders placed after the 1st of September are already on trucks? What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken4G:
Ordered direct from samsung.com 9/2, Tmobile variant, Black. Just got the email that it was shipped today! Should be here Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Exactly, makes absolutely no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elbarto7:
shipped, ordered 8/29 tmo version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Sorry all those should say September but yeah it's a carrier model, TMobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken4G:
The phone and the wireless charger both say "Shipped". The 128GB SD card still says "pre-order". Are the cards usually included right in the box?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I believe it's all in 1 box.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

I think the carrier models are more available, I went with Unlocked and I'm waiting because of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eleanore.Moon:
Ordered my UNLOCKED NOTE8 w/memory card and charger and added a Sprint SIM for free on August 25th. NO PROMO.

Got a tracking number yesterday (Friday, Sept. 8) but the email said it was just for the SIM Card. CC Charged. Paid full price. Again, SIM was free.

Samsung website says the the SIM is the only thing that was shipped. Everything else says CONFIRMED but the memory card. That says PREORDER.

Shipped through FedEx. Arriving by September 12th. Package weight is posted at 1lb(s).

Hopefully its more than just my SIM because otherwise, that is one heavy SIM. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
morning everyone. three days passed. I am still in BACKORDERED.

ordered on 8/25 unlocked.

i will not be surprise to see if someone else place the order after september and get the phone before than me...that's samsung. was thinking about few possiblities..

1. i use note 7 trade in promo with samsung fianance as payment

2. i use note 7 trade in promo with nonlisted devics (i use my note 3)

3. i call to complain and be marked as blacklisted customer.

4. live in california

5. bad luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrwildcat:
Just shipped and arriving Tuesday, 9/12.

Ordered 8/30

Unlocked with Gear 360

Note 7 promo

Just heard yesterday from support it wouldn't ship until 10/1. Samsung sure managed to make this a cluster.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
10/1...mmm...in that case, don't know if samsung will provide any more compensation for preoreders?

i bet what they can provide is giving you shipping upgrade and keep you waiting without any information.

keep all conversation and chat tickets that guaranteed to deliver by 9/13, then rise up the complain up to supervisor if you didn't get it by 9/13....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Damn, I'm 8/28 and did exactly the same order and mine still hasn't shipped.... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Dunno, I did note 7 but paid in full, didn't call Samsung until yesterday, looks like it's California that's the problem [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
So you got shipped email and Samsung customer service told you it wouldn't ship till Oct? Lol

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Charged right at preorder but woke up this morning to find the charge back in my account and the charge is gone and doesn't say processing anymore. I hope this means that they're getting ready to ship my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
Ditto. But it has happened b4 with s8. They sent just the sim card even though the package said 1lb. I am not putting high hopes. Hopefully we are wrong :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
I'm exactly like this but with the SD card/charger promo. Arriving Tuesday by 8:00PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eleanore.Moon:
Ah. I figured as much. Thank you for this. My original ship date is Sept 13th. Hopefully that is still accurate. When I talked to Samsung E-Commerce they said it was an estimated ship date of Sept 13th and that the payment would be charged once the product has shipped from the warehouse but the SIM was free? So I would assume that they wouldn't charge my whole order for that. It seems after reading comments, that this payment system is as big a mess as shipping. Sigh. This whole thing is a huge mess but I am patient. I just hope that everyone gets their phones who preordered before the 15th. When I went to check my Samsung account this morning, I notice that the main page no longer says preorder the N8 and just says buy now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Craleb:
Two ATT versions order one 8/29 and one 8/30 gear 360 for both. Both shipped yesterday. I paid for next day shipping but they are still shipped via 2 day FedEx arriving Tuesday.

Unlocked with sim and charger that was ordered 8/28 shipped this morning? Says it will arrive Tuesday and I did not do overnight for that one.

All packages weigh 3lbs per tracking.

Edit: looks like my unlocked shipped without the sd card which is odd. Which still shows "pre order" on my order status page. But charger and phone shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
Mine arrived. Fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnet:
I got my shipping information from FedEX and Samsung. Delivery Tuesday 9/12 by 8:00PM. I ordered on 8/24, unlocked version, with no Note 7 deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bildo41383:
Pre-ordered on 8/25, with gear 360 and Note 7 discount. Received phone on 9/7. Only issue was they didn't supply me with anything to ship them my trade in or instructions on how to send. Anyone else receive their phone or have insight on how to send back?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregory1824:
i ordered 8/31, order conf email shows 9/1, status changed from preorder to confirmed last night 9/8. selected the memory card and charger as a bonus. it appears the charger shipped with the phone(3lb)pkg via fedex estimated delivery on 9/12(sucks because i drive for ups and won't be home to sign for it). memory card still on preorder, dex station on backorder. i was a note 7 owner and couldn't use the note 7 deal because i couldn't use my note 4 as a trade in option. i'm hoping i get the 256 mem card like other people are getting in. i'm located in georgia and i hope this proposed incoming storm doesn't screw up the delivery date
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] papashex:
note 8, sd card and charger all shipped 9/9, due 9/12 :silly: (in the U.S.) Preordered on day 1.

california.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
sept 25
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Man their shipping estimation is all screwed up. Out of curiosity I just placed another order a few minutes ago then cancelled it just to see if the date in the website matches the date in the order confirmation email and it does now, it said "week of October 1st" so I'm guessing even though mine said week of September 25th on Monday before checkout but my email says before September 11th that I should be good for launch dayish delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase01:
I will stick with what I posted earlier... also, when I was on chat yesterday and got a supervisor because I complained that carriers would get the note 8 first she told me the dates I have in the pictures ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
Honestly, they might be saying some of this stuff to shut us the **** up. I've been reaching out to them as much as I can to confirm when I will get it.

I got on the phone with them, the rep that answered had to ask his supervisor because he didn't know that former N7 owners get the N8 earlier. He said "it ships out the 12th, you'll get it the 14th" I told him I ordered it with 1 day shipping, so he said "so you'll get it the 13th". This is cutting it super close to a flight coming up and I hope they can ship it earlier.

---------- Post added 1st September 2017 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 31st August 2017 at 11:55 PM ----------

I tested it out on different browsers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Out or curiosity, are you a Note7 owner using the $425 trade in promo?

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

I have been thinking this also. I called them over an hour ago and told them some people are getting emails saying it won't be shipped until October and she looked into my order for a few minutes and couldn't tell me anything. She just kept saying September 15th you should have it, frankly I'm tired of this nonsense and we still have 2 weeks left so I'm just gonna sit here patiently and stop wishing my life away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
That doesn't mean anything at all. Carriers are notorious for printing shipping labels and putting them on the boxes, then letting them sit there till they get the go ahead by Samsung to ship. UPS will generate info that they received a tracking number for a shipment and go ahead and give you an estimate of the day it will be delivered based on it being picked up that day or the next. Until you see it has left the seller's facility it has not shipped, and it definitely won't be there by tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
Yes note 7 owner and used the 425 offer too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigwest:
Samsung has 1 shot to do this correct and make up for the Note 7 debacle. All known Note 7 owners that pre-ordered direct from Samsung should absolutely get theirs first, no excuse.
