[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Death-Dealer:
Idk y everyone thinks they should get they phone right now. Before I even preordered at 1210 am Aug 24th I assumed the first preorders would be shipped....ummm first. Release is 2 weeks away. Hassling Samsung is not going to speed up time and they would prob tell you anything so they can move on to the next stupid question they have for customer service. I preordered through best buy, saving $150 is more important than maybe.....maybe getting the phone 2 days earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
No change for us in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
FWIW, my unlocked S8 (bought at Best Buy) worked just fine on VErizon. VOLTE and tethering worked just fine. Not sure about wifi calling but I never use that, so I'm not sure if the setting was in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
A lot of people who preordered aren't really Note 7 owners though, they just bought the email/code to get the disount :lol:

Cross-posting from another reply-

What I got from Samsung because of the Note 7 fiasco:

Free use of the Note 7 for 4 months (normally $37.50 a month to lease = $150 comped)

Free use of the loaner S7Edge for 5 months (another $32.59 a month = $165 comped)

Free 256gb memory card ($250)

Free Gear VR ($125?)

$425 off a note 8 after trade in ($425 - $75 to buy a brand new iphone 5s from straight talk = $350)

Free 360 camera ($250?)

That's already $1000+ of free stuff right there, and that's just from 1 Note 7 and 1 Note 8. Others got multiple Note 7s and 8s and probably got even more stuff. So yeah, for me Samsung has "made up" for tearing away my beautiful Note 7 from my clammy grip. If I had to choose between "Getting mine first, no excuse" or all those freebies, I'd rather get the freebies and get my Note 8 on the actual release date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moudav730:
Completely agree 100% lol I got my free gear through note 7, and a free tv through a bestbuy promo when I had to get s7 edge after. I've saved enough from those where I'm not in a rush. I just like to know when things get shipped is all, partially cause I need to make sure I get someone to sign for it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
I just want to give everyone a heads up. The September 5th date is false.

The live chat with Samsung reps are only for technical support, they have no access to your accounts neither do they have any official information regarding shipping dates.

The Note 8 will ship out in Approx. 2 weeks time without 100% certainty when that will be. The current estimate is Sept 12th ship date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
My order confirmation says will ship BY September 11th, not 12th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuichi.Aig:
Yeah my first order (Aug 25th) it says "Pre-order ships 09/11/17"

My third order (Aug 29th) it says "Will arrive by Sep 14th 2017"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobZ66:
Great post. One worry.. You had mentioned you are going to

buy a brand new iphone 5s from straight talk

... The small print from samsung.com states both phones must be from same carrier. If you buy a new phone that qualifies, does it need to used on your carrier for a bit before trading in?,I'd rather buy a $100.00 qualifying phone instead of losing my s7edge. Just would hate to not meet their probably strict requirements... Any thoughts [emoji189]?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewNY:
What small print is that, as I read through the terms and didn't see anything like that? Also I ordered an unlocked model so there is no carrier specified.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Hmm. My AMEX card just got fully charged today. They usually don't fully charge until close to shipment. I wonder if Samsung intend to ship early?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobZ66:
Thanks,

I have also ordered the unlocked and am coming from Tmob.* Good point about the unlocked thing..why would they even care about what carrier it was on. If rather keep my T-Mobile used s7edge and send anything else in that qualifies

Same here, literally just got my email from Samsung and FedEx. Delivery is Tuesday by 8pm, happy dance happy dance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
I guess I won the prize for the last to get notified. No email or confirmation of shipping and I ordered before both of you on unlocked phone.

good for you. It is good to know they still have some unlocked phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Yay... finally mine shipped and picked up in Plainfield, IL through Fedex. I should be getting mine on 9/12. Ordered on 8/27 unlocked version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnet:
This morning. First from FedEx delivery manager, then about an hour later from Samsung. It's been an unusual pre-order and shipping process, as it always is with popular Android devices. However, I can't complain, since I'm technically getting the device before launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Ordered August 31st. Unlocked version still stuck on pre-order. Delivery date says first week of October. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
Ordered 8/24

Unlocked Note 8

Without Note 7 deal

Status changed to Shipped today via FedEX

Delivery Tuesday 9/12 by 8:00PM

Unfortunately, I'm on the East Coast of Florida. It was looking like Irma was gonna hit my area Sunday afternoon, but it's slowed down soo much and is almost hovering over Cuba. The good thing is that it's losing intensity as well, but that could change. If it keeps moving at this snails pace, I may not get my phone till the end of the week. I hope it continues to break down, but it looks like it's supposed to strengthen again once it leaves Cuba. Right now, the Keys and West Coast of Florida could still suffer a lot of damage. I hope everyone is prepared and staying safe!

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Do you think Fedex will be shipping into FL Monday-Tuesday with Irma lingering? I see you're in Miami, I'm a couple hours north. I'm in the same boat, expected to receive 9/12.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eleanore.Moon:
UPDATE

As of NOON today:

N8/FAST CHARGER have changed to SHIPPED. Arriving Sept. 12th.

Phone and Charger have the same tracking number but came in separate emails. Shipping with FedEx. Box weighs 3lbs.

Memory Card still says PREORDER but I'm not worried about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah that is very unfortunate.When I was checking out it said won't ship until week of September 21st, but my email confirmation said will ship by September 11th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smuvman:
Funny Dilemma

Made order on 8/26 but used the wrong promotion (don't know why the hell i didn't look harder for the note 7 promotion). So i have the basic promotion where i can get $200 for the S6 i'm sending in. I called in today and spoke with a regular rep who said i'd have to cancel in order to get the note 7 promotion. That means i wouldn't get it until about the first week of Oct. I hate waiting for new phones but i'd be ok with waiting until Oct except that i'm taking a trip to Arizona on the 18th of this month and i'd love to have my new phone which he DID state i should get by the 13th. I'm still in pre-order. Either I cancel and wait till Oct to save $425 or I keep my order and only save $200 but get to use my new phone presumably this week. Currently waiting for a Supervisor call back so hopefully they will help me out. LOL and smh unlocked version btw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I'm late to the party...I just bought a note 8 via Samsung yesterday. Att version (idk why I didn't do unlocked), did the note 7 discount, and chose 360 camera. Paid for the whole thing right away. My email says will ship by 9/15, I checked my order and still says pre-order
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
There it is, shipped finally! But they did what they did to everyone... 2 day shipping. IDIOTS! How can you charge SO many people for 1 day and not ship ANY of them right?? What a clusterf**k... At least I have a light at the end of the tunnel finally.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kawaisa:
Anyone sent in their trade ins?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah I sent mine in yesterday:good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2miracles:
I preordered from Sammy an orchid gray (Verizon) on the morning ofAug 28 and that night ordered an unlocked one for my husband (both former note 7 owners). I received tracking number at 2:08 am this morning and it says delivery by 8pm on 9/12 on the Verizon and nothing yet on unlocked one except order confirmed and money has been charged to our credit card acct
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
I am still on pre-order status...

why me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Yeah my hometown is Miami, but I am living in Detroit now and I haven't updated my profile in a long time. My parents are still living in Miami though, and I hope everyone in FL is safe. I am little worried as it isn't looking good. Stay safe and hope you get your phone as soon as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Craleb:
This.... I have been patient and not whining too much (trying) but why.. why have an option for one day shipping and then send them all via 2-day -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
Me too. Don't mess with Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Odd that they still haven't charged my card yet everything is shipped... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
you still in preorder? oh my, samsung really messed up...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:
Ordered on 27th today says shipped will be here Tuesday. Black unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
hhhmmm could it really be a Texas thing?

I was charged monday morning but my credit card fraud detection went off and I had to 'OK' it from my side.

After that when I checked my credit card, it was not charged.

I called SS up yesterday and it was really hard to understand the lady... but she just stated that it was charged and everything is looking good and confirmed.

She lastly stated it will ship when it will ship lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Craleb:
same here. holds dropped off... shipped.... no charge.... maybe they are waiting for our trade ins before they charge? just in case they want to **** us and only give us 25$ for our mint condition trade in devices. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
? Don't say that...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mootarjim:
SHIPPED!

Ordered 8/28

Unlocked

Note 7 discount

Delivered to Virginia by 8pm this Tuesday
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Nice, I'm in VA as well!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
I am also still pre order :eek: 8/29 black sprint! I know I ordered after you, but I ordered carrier to avoid the unlocked shortage :crying: perhaps they hate all middle America
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
I'm kind of miffed that they're shipping them all 2 day shipping when I know some of us ordered next day. Finally ships not the shipping you paid, even when you win you lose ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnybrav0:
I've order a couple things with Samsung.com. They usually will ship items closer to the D.C. First. I learn it the hard way once. A friend from MN order his tv a day later than me got it a week before me. I'm from AZ. Called to complain but didn't get anywhere. I could be wrong but my experience is that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
All Texas people who's order still did not ship please stand up *stands up?*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinochino1:
still on preorder status too. preordered on the 25th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Mine was shipped through Fedex yesterday from Plainfield, Indiana. It reached early morning today at Memphis, Tenesse

Interesting thing is

Plainfield, IN to Memphis, TN - 455 miles

Plainfield, IN to Detroit, MI (delivery destination) - 305 miles

My Note8 has traveled further away from me :P I guess the only rational explanation to this is that Memphis is a hub for Fedex. I hope it departs by Monday morning else there may be delays again because Irma's forecast not looking good :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mootarjim:
Mine's with yours in Memphis.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
+1, at least our phones have each other for company haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Wow my cousin bought his note 8 yesterday via TMobile. And he already got a notification that it'll arrive tomorrow. F my life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Still have no changes here, order 24th a. m. I might be the last one to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayster0966:
That makes the three of our phones hanging out in Memphis. LOL

Now for the trip out to the west coast to be delivered to me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Boooooy if I was in Memphis I would be tearing up some of that famous BBQ.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Mine went straight from Indianapolis to NJ in one straight 10 hour trip, and I live only about 60 miles away in Long Island, NY so if I'm lucky my phone shows up a day early, tomorrow. If this was UPS instead of FedEx it would usually have updated the delivery date by now, but we'll see what they do here... http://prntscr.com/gjfk3c
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Do you guys have to sign for your phone? Or will they just drop it at the door?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Mine says indirect signature required.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:
LMAO, mine did the same thing... Live in Michigan, phone leaves Indy and goes to Memphis. WTF? That would not have happened if they had properly shipped it next day... Idiots. Waiting for my response from Samsung about my shipping refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yes mine says Indirect also, and per FedEx you could leave a note and sign it if you won't be home to sign. I'm just gonna use this as an excuse to leave work at Lunchtime ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] siraloz:
Signature Release

OR Signature Release Form??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I just read this from googling, I'll do this just in case they come crazy early but I plan to be home by 11:30AM.

"If your package was shipped with the Indirect Signature Release option, you may leave a signed and dated handwritten note on the door instructing the driver to leave the package at your door."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
Week of Sep 11th through the 15th this is it. I don't wana hear no "We didn't expect to get so many preorders for unlocked" excuses

Samsung testing my patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GreenGoblin227:
I just got my unlocked device, I bought it from a fellow near buy. Hard to say no. 64gb Note 8, with some extras for 600 bucks.. Finally switching back from apple. After i sold my note 4 DE for verizon. I switched to Sprint last May, so hopefully we will see some nice roms...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Whaaaat that's a crazy low price, how did this guy make any money off it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kawaisa:
It will probably be blacklisted soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
They have a magical statement attached to the beginning of the small print on every promo

"1Limited time offer. Subject to availability"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
Same boat as you, but I'm in Brooklyn. If it gets to somewhere closer in NY by Monday would be nice to just go pick it up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayDean03:
Mines is already in Atlanta.

I'm in middle Ga. Hopefully they can just ship it tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
I'm hoping what they do is just move it around overnight to the local FedEx location and deliver it to me tomorrow. UPS usually brings mine thru Maspeth before giving it a destination scan at Farmingdale. I sadly forgot FedEx's as I haven't shipped with them for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
Seems like FedEx is doing 1 move a day since I got the tracking, so hopefully by tomorrow there's a chance for early delivery. I don't know why the didn't just use UPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
I am so gonna sign off delivery with an S pen!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
You could have the Fedex guy use your current phone to record the unboxing of THE NOTE8 and kill 2 birds with 1 stone:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Based on a Google research, I guess devices purchased through Samsung should arrive on or before 9/14 ... Come on samsunggggggggggggg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Mine left Newark an hour ago, hope it's long island bound!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
Mine also, I called up Samsung since I paid for next day delivery. The rep told me Tuesday isn't a guaranteed delivery date just an expected one so I may get it Monday, hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Ah, that's good. My delivery said "Expedited", I didn't pay for it though. My case also just showed up (Spigen Liquid Air), thankfully amazon came in clutch with a 2 day delivery for free haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Mine left Memphis over an hour ago, would be awesome if delivery date changes to tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
Mine did too! I'm not sure where it's going though, there's a hurricane slowly coming at me. And once it gets past me, it'll be moving towards most cities between me and Memphis. I'm guessing it'll be sitting in Atlanta for a day or so. Normally, it would come to Jacksonville or Orlando next. But, that's not happening tonight or tomorrow. The good news is that we still have power and the hurricane's getting weaker!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
"At destination sort facility, 6:29PM EST". :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Did your shipping email say 9/11 or 9/12 delivery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
Original email said 9/11 ship, fedex says 9/12 delivery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Sweet so you might actually get it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] siraloz:
Here's my Not8!

[IMG="Not8"]http://glitterbombprank.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/choose-3.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
yeah hopefully!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Anyone had any luck getting FedEx to hold the package at the facility rather than delivering? I'm in Atlanta Metro and I foresee FedEx holding their trucks Tuesday when it is supposed to be delivered and not deliver anything due to Tropical Storm force winds in Georgia.

They said they couldn't hold it and only Samsung could tell them to. I call Samsung and they say holding it isn't possible.

It's so much easier with UPS. They would have held it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Same here. I live in Washington, DC and my phone went west to Memphis instead of east to DC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
No luck for me

I ordered 8/27 with note 7 promo. At&t black with gear 360. Paid in full. Pending charge fell off, still sitting in pre order status. I was told by samsung csr that it was confirmed but I see no changes in status on samsung page. Here in NE Florida. Quite annoyed I have no changes in my order status...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Mine just arrived at the Destination sort facility, fingers crossed for Monday delivery instead of Tuesday ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GreenGoblin227:
Guy was a developer. He had 8 of them. I got the receipt and all. I just need to give him user feedback. Won't be blacklisted.

Now to import my photos.

Wish I could get the free stuff from Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BPRN:
I ordered mine from Samsung directly for TMo with trade in deal on August 24th, received it on Sept 7th. Also got promo deal with 256 SD card (they advertised 128!) and wireless charger. Midnight black.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Yeah mine is the same, hope I can pick it up tomorrow. I won't be at home, so it won't be delivered but the good thing about Fedex is even after delivery attempt fails, I can go to the hub and pick it same day after 4pm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
what's your location? Mine's still on the truck from Memphis
