I'm still waiting for mine. Shipped from Samsung on Saturday with 2day shipping, currently in transit from Memphis to Little Rock Arkansas. I'm really hoping to have it delivered tomorrow or at least be able to pick it up. I'm not expecting much though. From my experience they usually hold it until Tuesday delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xHoLyx:
Ordered Unlocked via Samsung.com on 8/30

Changed to Confirmed 2 days ago and received a shipping confirmation yesterday afternoon with expected delivery date of Tuesday by 8PM.

Indianapolis > Memphis > Now at destination sort facility in Los Angeles.

Hope to receive it tomorrow :fingers crossed:

Maryland.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
If you don't mind me asking when did it get to LA? Or rather what was the time frame from leaving Memphis and arriving in LA. Curious if it's being driven or flown. Mine left Memphis at 3pm today and is headed to Tucson. It's about a 19 hour drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xHoLyx:
I'm pretty sure the reason why most of the packages go through Memphis hub is to cut the shipping cost.

Instead of driving every package to each individual destination, they send it to the Memphis hub and usually fly it out to the destination from there.

Mine left 4:20 Memphis local time and arrived at LA 6:20 local time.

Took about 4 hrs I'm assuming w/ time zone difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Dang, we're almost neighbors but mine's still on the way from Memphis. I have the feeling my box got left behind when yours left TN and is just leaving now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Well 10 hours later and it's still chillin up in Bmore at the sort facility, so probably still the scheduled Tuesday delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
Mine has not updated since yesterday morning at 1:24 a.m. . Still sitting in the Memphis sort facility... definitely won't be getting mine today LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Package delayed ?? still in Atlanta
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Crap, ordered 8/24 and still in pre order status this morning. Guess I won't be getting it on time, unless something changes today. Samsung making that V30 look better and better every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
Im in the same boat as you.

preorder status and 8/24 order, unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
Turns out my package is at FedEx ready to by delivered but they won't deliver it because it's scheduled for tomorrow even though I paid for next day, ? thanks Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Mine is out for delivery today, a day earlier than initial scheduled date of 09/12.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
So since I have another day to wait, I want to run this by you guys. For anyone who has ever dealt with Sammy on a trade in deal... I have read some horror stories, and I am a bit nervous about this. Take a look at the picture - this is my trade in, and that is the only damage to the casing of the phone. The rest of the phone is in great condition - is there a chance they just don't accept this and pay me $25? (yes I realize this will be subjective, but the phone seems to meet every other requirement...)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Contact samsung and ask for the shipping charge to be refunded then, I did. I paid for next business day and fedex lists it as 2 day and it won't be here till Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinkie00200:
I live in Los Angeles and my package was in Los Angeles this Saturday, but they send it to Memphis on Sunday! I called Fedex this morning and they said "as promised", it would be delivered tomorrow. isn't it weird??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Mine was in Ft Worth, Texas at 6:03 AM yesterday and still there this morning. I guess I'll get it tomorrow, could have driven the 120 miles but guess I'll just be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chillsen:
I'm sorry but they wont' accept that. it has to be in great condition with only slight scratches
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bokuhmin812:
Select time zone - destination
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
My excitement was short lived. Fedex wouldn't allow me to pick this up at a station, so i am working from home today. But I still missed the delivery attempt. He didn't even ring the bell or knock the door, just left a door tag. I was 15 mins late when i saw the updated tracking. So close yet so far. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
This really sucks and it would really throw me into a bad mood. I plan on being home tomorrow when I believe the FedEx driver will show but just in case the driver pulls the same crap I already printed out and signed a Shipment Release Authorization form and I will tape it to my front door so he will see it clear as day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
Order 8/26. Still pre-order. Email say ship 9/11. I'm from AZ. Looks like the they pulling the same thing they did last time on me. AZ going to get it last.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
that would be suck if samsung just give you 25usd and won't return to you so that you can sell on ebay for a higher price. that's defintinely a scam.

but for a company like sammy, i am afriad that may be true.

now i begin to worry about my trade in. they agreed with my old note 3 (in good condition and no scratch) trade in as a previous note 7 user. but will they honor 425 usd discount? let's see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ngambek2003:
Ordered on 29th Aug. Shipped on the 9th. In transit now, scheduled delivery on the 12th. I'm in Illinois.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinkie00200:
ok, my package is in downtown Los Angeles at Fedex facility and it's exactly 3 blocks away from where I work (I work in downtown LA). I called Fedex to hold the package for me to go and pick it up this morning, but the rep told me that Samsung does not allow them to hold the package for pick up and they're instructed by the sender company (Samsung) to deliver it to everyone tomorrow ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Crap I ordered on the 31st and still stick in pre-order. I am also from Illinois.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ngambek2003:
Mine is a TMobile one (black). It might be different based on different versions of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh LaCelle:
Wrong! They don't say that! Whether they will accept it or not will be up to Samsung, but according to their guidelines it should be accepted!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
Silly Fedex. The phone is in my city, and has been since yesterday....but not delivering until tomorrow. Dumb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
In Wyoming here, order 24th, and still pre-order status here, maybe it's a west thing. Realistically if they don't ship in 2hrs, I won't get it on the 12th, which means I get to spend time on the phone with Samsung getting the next day air charge off the order.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

I would make a video of it, showing the serial number on display, showing the phone works and is in otherwise great shape. That is all that Samsung needs, because the fine print stated normal wear and tear and that's what I see in the picture. The video is to cover your ass in case they deny it, or try to say it was non functioning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Just got a random text message from FedEx which says "Free FedEx alert: Signature req'd for package delivery by fedex.com" but my order isn't scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow, maybe I will get it today?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumpyloser:
I ordered 2. One on 8/26 and one on 8/31. My 8/31 order was shipped on Saturday and my 8/26 order was shipped today. That doesn't make any sense. I asked Samsung about it and they said they were shipping them randomly. I'm not sure if that is true, but it makes sense why some peoples have shipped and others haven't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Khwoo685:
Same here. Status still says in transit from Memphis since 6:30 yesterday. Probably an error.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Same here but probably about an hour or two ago. I was hopeful. Checked status, nothing changed still in the main sorting facility in Atlanta. I can drive to it in 20 minutes but neither Samsung when calling nor FedEx will allow me to pick it up.

Sucks, if they did it with UPS I pick enough packages up from them where they would have let me grab it.

With this overhyped tropical storm crap going on in Georgia, I would not be surprised if they don't deliver it tomorrow either when it is supposed to be delivered. Meanwhile the roads are perfectly fine....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Wait they would take note 3 phones? Thought it was just 4's

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

If I remember right from the vive it's just saying you got something coming that needs to be signed for. I think it's so you know before they deliver. I wouldn't get my hopes up I think everyone is being held up till tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Unlocked or carrier? I ordered an unlocked on the 31st and still on pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xHoLyx:
Sadly, this seems to be the case.

??

So close, yet so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkbladelawhk:
Ditto. I want mine today lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
yes. I confirmed with cs and they can take note 3 if you are previous note 7 user.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Purchased Tmobile Variant 9/1

Started shipping Thursday.

Left Memphis yesterday at 3pm on the way to Tucson

Hit Tucson at 6am

On the Truck for delivery at 930am today

Original delivery date of 9/12

Did not pay extra for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Who did you contact because I'd sooner give up my note 3 than my pixel XL since I can get more for it on swappa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cybrwulf:
I had to cancel and re-order to change my trade in. Not fun...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
no need to cancel. just call and they will take a note.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

i call samsung directly. you can call and ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
... so since my credit card processed the charge as a possible fraud... my order is in a limbo state.

The CS told me I have to place another order and get all the information that I had a note 7 by getting the receipt. This process would take up to a week.

And once that is done I would get my phone sometime in October...

My order now is in a limbo state... they have 2 different systems. One stating confirmed and one stating cancelled... what crap is this?

When I called last week... their CS told me it was confirmed because she was looking at one system... arg.... frustrated

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Haha wait time is 30+ minutes to speak with someone, gonna have to earn it I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
now they are stating on their system I cancelled the order and that I pressed the cancel button....

great! thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
It has been a great 130+ talk everyone. By tomorrow onwards, I am expecting posts of "I received my order" and "I am so happy with s pen".

See you in the next pre order thread(s), probably Google Pixel XL 2/LG V30/Mate 10 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I just ordered the Unlocked Note 8 will be using on TMO.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumpyloser:
Unlocked. We received the first one today, but my wife got it first since her screen was shattered on her old phone... so I have to wait until Wednesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Hey guys. Don't whine too much. My Note 8 has been sitting at its destination sort facility since LAST Thursday. Thanks hurricane Irma. For many things. Destroying my fence. Taking away power. Destroying and knocking over trees. Smashing up a boat...But most of all, making it to where UPS can't deliver my Note 8!

You guys will get them soon enough. I don't know when I will get mine even though it sits in a facility 20 minutes away. Enjoy it and be thankful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
that's a freaking insult !

if they dont trust me, then they dont have to worry about it anymore !

wells fargo denied my charge when i tried to buy Sea World tickets online, i cut up their cut and never use them again.

barclaycard denied my charge on note8, once i get my citibank double cashback, i will cut up barclaycard too.

i have citibank, discover, chase, american expresss, they never denied any of my charges for the possible fraud BS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I mean I get the frustration but its not like they aren't trying to protect you. Frankly its harder to learn purchase patterns if when things go side ways you jump ship. But hey its a free country..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
It was Amex and they are great at doing what they should be.

It was SS on their side to cancel my order, not update the system until today, not reach out to me in any manner, be it email, and say it was me to cancel it because I pressed the 'It was me' button an hour after getting it at 6AM in the morning about the charge by my amex app.

When talking to the CS I asked for a manager after hearing him say nothing can be done but to reorder it but I kept calm because it wasnt the CS fault, put me on hold for the manager, but when he came back stating I pressed the cancel button and it is what is showing on the system, I kind of flipped... not at him or yelling but just didnt want to talk.

He states I have to reorder and wait to Oct and never let me talk to the manager.

Amex never denied my purchase but put it on a hold so it could be verified just for clarification =)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
protect me? dont you mean protect themself ?

all credit cards have 0$ fraud protection.

to me, that' a insult. if they dont trust me, then they dont have to worry about it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Umm ok.

Dramatic but ok, I guess
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
Still check every hour and still on pre-order. 8/26 unlock and shipping to AZ. Anyone from AZ got their phone yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cybrwulf:
Yep I had the fraud protection "Save" me from buying my Note 8 last friday... now waiting until October 1st according to email.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I ordered mine the first. It's in the truck today. T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
where is the second post from? I ordered 8/29 CARRIER LOCKED and my order sits in pre-order with a "guaranteed delivery of 9/14." I am the literal middle of America, and like those in texas and AZ I think we got **** on because we don't live in a "big coastal city"

edit: he is probably in AZ derp
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Second post?

I dunno I'm in AZ, not phx or tucson and I ordered a carrier phone and its going to be exactly ten days from start to finish if it gets delivered today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
Ordered Sep1st and nothing still. No movement to confimation Email. Absolutely nothing. Charge was returned to my account. W...t...f

I hope i get N8 this week. I'm tired of waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Khwoo685:
Just got an email stating I will have it delivered tomorrow....even though it's been in transit from Memphis since yesterday >_>
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joachimi86:
I just called and I'm getting a call back. Estimated wait time is 3.5 hours lol . they are most likely getting non-stop note8 Pre-Order calls....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Khwoo685:
Nah most of the cs reps are probably getting off work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I just called in and got the same 3.5 hour wait time. Today was my shipping date, and nothing yet, still pre order, damn Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
the next day shipping is a joke. called Samsung and they told me that "Next Day Shipping" can actually take up to 3 days business days... I live in PA and my phone started in Indianapolis (about 6 hours from me) then went to Memphis(12 hours from me) and has been sitting at fed ex sorting center 20 mins from my house since Saturday. its scheduled for tomorrow. very misleading on calling that "Next Day Shipping". To me that sounds like 2 business days, plus the fact that it has been 20 min away since 6:02 am on Saturday and can't get it to me the next business is total crap. I was basically dumb enough to pay the extra $14 dollars for this "Next Day Shipping". I literally just want to go SWAT team kick fed ex's door in and take my package since they move like sloths .

to top it off, my sd card is being shipped separate so watch it be the 128gb card when everyone else so far has received the 256gb card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Khwoo685:
To be fair it isn't totally Sammy's fault. FedEx and expectations play a big factor. It's funny I was reading some forums when the iPad Air 2 came out and got even more curious and dug up even older phones that were preordered. It's funny how if you replace iPad air2 or some older preorder forum it exactly echos what's being said today :b
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heatfan91:
Honestly this is pathetic on Samsung’s end. If you order from T-Mobile, Verizon, etc you get the phone shipped same day and have it within 2 days for free shipping or the next with overnight. Samsung, the manufacturer, can’t even get the phones to their “loyal” Note 7 customers who will get their Note 8 and be “one of the first to get their Note”. Meanwhile, joe shmo can walk in and order it today and get it tomorrow. Pathetic on Samsung’s part. I was between the Note 8 and the iPhone X but went Note 8 since it would be cheaper but at this rate...we’ll, let’s see what Apple announces tomorrow.

Especially now that they are apparently missing their “ships by 9/11” date, so once again, a middle finger to Note 7 owners.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
All good to go and psyched for tomorrow's delivery. I'll get off work at 11AM and pull a half(ish) day, come home and play Battlefield 1 while also watching a live feed of my front yard via my (soon to be traded in) Galaxy S5 on my rooted Amazon fire tablet. And if the FedEx driver comes before I get home I have the filled out and signed Authorized Shipment Release form already taped to my front door. I think I have all my bases covered... :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
I can and can't blame Sammy, I preordered a tmobile variant aug 25th and they didn't even ship it out until this past Friday when people who pre ordered after me got theirs delivered at the beginning of last week which is a little upsetting. so I blame them for not shipping mine out when i pre ordered before others. also that's why I said I want to swat team kick fed ex's door in for moving like sloths.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
I completely agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Just got my device. Strange thing was that there was no seal on the box at all. It wasn't tampered there was simply no seal. I guess Samsung forgot to put a seal on my box lol. Anyone else receiving their devices in the same way?

I'll let you know in less than 24 hours.

Who knows what the truth is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
Can you post a photo of the seal? I understand you opened it but curious to see how it looks. I've seen 5 S8, S8+s unlocked and at&t from Samsung and best buy none had a seal. They have identical boxes to Note. Also note 8 unboxing mentioned it too.

I had the seal when I bought T-Mobile S8+ from Samsung.com back in May.
