Awesome, we have the exact same everything except I ordered 8/28. Maybe I can get Confirmed tomorrow or possibly Saturday :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sand00ns:
The eagle has landed!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Suntzupa:
Got mine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhill1986:
Finally CONFIRMED!!!

TMobile black

Note 7 Customer

Ordered 8/26

[emoji2]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnet:
I made it to confirmed also. Not sure what it means, but at least it's progress. Ordered on the 24th, unlocked with standard shipping. I didn't use the Note 7 deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
cool, same here. What did you choose for your pre-order goody? I chose the wireless charger and sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnet:
Same as you, SD card and charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JameyS:
JEL-OUS!

Mine is out for delivery... too bad I don't have a time. I need to get out of the house and get work done :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
All the carriers (though AT&T is lagging for some reason in delivering) got their phones shipped to them well ahead of time. Those carriers also had to approve their own software versions AND test it in their own facilities. Thus customers wanting to order from their carriers would get phones ahead of those of us who ordered from Samsung. Since I personally only wanted the unlocked version, I wanted to that route.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evolved_St8:
ordered mine directly from Samsung for note 7 bonus. Ordered a T-Mo variant because I wanted the snapdragon and wifi calling. Probably shoulda just ordered the unlocked. Out for delivery today. Ordered 8/25
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
Mine is confirmed too. Unlocked version ordered 8/27. Hopefully it's shipped today also !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
Congratulations! Mine's out for delivery from Aliso Viejo. Kind of wish I'd gone to the hub to pick it up since I'm in the 2-6 pm window. But on the other hand, I might actually get some work done today. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
I just got a real-time alert on my chase credit card about a new pending charge. status on Samsung still not updated yet. ordered att note8 at 8/27 at 1158pm PST
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
My understanding was that the US unlocked also has snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Yeah like I said just grumbling. Shame you can't get the large discount off at a carrier store otherwise I likely would cancel and take my chances there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
So today I called Samsung and asked how come the carriers seem to be delivering earlier than the actual company of the phones. Rep told me sir the phone is released on the 15th and will ship then, we are not the carriers. If it wasn't for the discount I would have just preordered from T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Lol. Figures. Had 4 packages delivered today by UPS, and this is the one delayed...Oh well. Stay safe my Florida peeps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonly1:
Boo! You folks stay safe out there!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluetoothless:
Somehow mine made it through Hiahleah early this a.m. On truck for delivery to Palm Beach Gardens, FL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Lucky man. I am betting mine got to Hialeah just a bit too late cause I had other packages make it through there too and got delivered to me today.

Now who knows when it will come. Totally depends on the damage done by Irma I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
If it wasn't for the discount most people wouldn't have used samsung I'd bet or canceled at this point and gotten it from a carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
I don't know about other carriers, but Verizon was offering "up to" a $425 discount for former Note 7 owners. However, in the usual garble of fine at the bottom of the email, they had a sliding scale of discounts depending on trade-in device, whereas Samsung's site updated to offer the same discount on all the trade-in's on the eligible list, even the oldest ones. The worst part, from my perspective, is that Verizon clearly stated it was NOT going to apply the whole discount at once, but only in 24 installments... to make sure you couldn't jump ship. The terms stated that cancelling the line would TERMINATE the promo credit--which is, in essence denying you YOUR compensation from Samsung. That's pretty outrageous, but some customers may not even realize what's going on. Additionally, by purchasing from Samsung, I saved myself about $40 in tax since Samsung charged me tax on the NET price of the phone, not full retail price which is Verizon's policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havok8301:
Finally got shipped emails. Ordered 7/25 att note 8. Note 7 owner. Tracking doesn't show delivery date yet just shows 2 day shipping
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
I called T-Mobile this morning and contemplated just ordering from them and returning the device when my order from Samsung finally ships. T-Mobile rep said I order now I can get it between Saturday and Monday. Only money I'd really lose out on is shipping ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
good for you.

The Only thing I got today is Backordered status (and no cancel link now..) and one email from Samsung about customer service satisfactory feedback....

Order on 8/25 unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mootarjim:
Digital River charge hit my debit card this afternoon as "processing". No email update from Samsung yet, and order page still shows "preorder"

Ordered 8/28

Unlocked

Used the Note 7 discount

Paid for whiz-bang shipping

Hoping for a delivery tomorrow, but more realistically, it'll probably come Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krishelnino:
why worth the hassle? Your device from Samsung will most probably arrive next week. You would have to pay the restocking fee for returns to T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joachimi86:
Not me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken4G:
Tmobile variant, ordered on the 2nd, still in Preorder status. Though the confirmation email did say in big red letters "Will arrive by Sept 14th"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] verks:
Mine was delivered today and I'm 30 minutes away at work. Not much getting done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
just finish conversation with samsung cs. didn't help anything. Just said: if you didn't receive the phone after 9/15, then give us a call...

BACKORDERED and can't even cancel it.

Order on 8/25. Unlocked version

Anyone got backordered status like me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilred121986:
i oredered my note 8 from samsung on August 25, 2017 and ups has the tracking out for delivery today! :D i will update when i get it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Something is very wrong here. When you login to your account you cant cancel when back-ordered?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Let it ride man, let it ride....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutelight:
Mine was delivered to the mail room at my office this morning and now everyone that walks by my office, I get all excited thinking it it being delivered but no... just co-workers. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krazieboy:
My status went to confirm today.. ordered unlock on the 27th. also the pending charged showed back up on my CC
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
Ordered same day as you. Got backordered and finish the online chat with samsung.

They said my order will ship 9/11 and receive by 9/13.

Well, can't trust them anymore.

CS totally ignore my complains about why some people got tracking even they placed the order later than me.

The worst pre-order system ever met in my life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaresTaylan:
I ordered at 6am on 8/24. Note 7 owner. Ordered AT&T in black. I've been in confirmed status for 4 days and still no movement. Customer care has been unable to explain or do anything. If you are just moving to confirmed you may get lucky but they told me yesterday that if you didn't have a tracking number by yesterday that the next set of orders going out would be in the 9/11 shipment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] quattroginger:
Got mine today. They gave me 256gb sd card instead of 128. I actually needed the 128gb one for my dash cam. It won't support 256. Just my luck lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
The CS told me that they didn't have any backorder issue. So, in that case, confirmed = backordered???

Either way, the CS surely told me I definitely will receive my phone by 9/13.

So, if you didn't receive tracking yesterday, and if we are good luck enough, then should receive tracking on this weekend and wait until 9/13 to get the phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
That was true around a year or so ago, Samsung was horribly slow to release updates vs the carriers and definitely vs Android/Google. That changed after the s7 when Samsung is now at par or most of the time even faster than the carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan5791:
So I ordered from Samsung and got a confirmation email with a order number. But when I click on the order number it says not valid order when it directs me to Samsung track order for guest user page. Is that because the order hsnt been shipped yet? Cause I already paid for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Just checked and my order is still there. Try signing into your Samsung account , click on the "Hi <your name>" on the upper right and click on "Orders"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan5791:
Thanks for the advice but I ordered it as a guest so I don't have that option. But I figured out what the problem was. I was entering in my zip code to find my order on the form. For some reason it wasnt taking it. So I put in my number instead and it popped up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moudav730:
Interestingly enough, I ordered direct from Samsung with the note-7 promotion, and I do not have a ship date on my pre-order. However, I was able to ask the rep this.

He said earlier in the chat that the phone would be "on my doorstep before September 10" (exact words) and then I asked about shipping date and he said (as I can't attach the screenshot) that they will ship September 4th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickSaul:
Nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I mean I doubt it. Because Sammy chat told me 9/25 (which is wrong) and told you 9/10 and the email said ships 9/11 blah blah blah.

I will guess that 9/13 a ton of phones will arrive if history repeats itself. Trust nothing Sam says, cause they are all smoking something in CS there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
I think this would make sense though since Apple is revealing the new iPhone on the 13th I would imagine Sammy wanna get there devices out first.

Still maybe just wishful thinking on my part :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Death-Dealer:
I think everyone needs to chill the F#ck out. Release date is the 15th. Don't know y people think they r getting the phone 2 weeks early or something no matter what the web sites say right now. I can understand 2/3 days early maybe.....Maybe, but everyone needs to chill.

Edit: I'm excited too, but I'm not gonna hassle the companies and stress over getting a phone ahead of release. Just let it happen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
My concern is when I pre-ordered on the 28th there was small print saying it wouldn't ship until the week of September 25th for the unlocked version, yet when I got my confirmation of order email it said it will ship by September 11th and when I contacted Sammy directly pertaining to my order they also said the shipping day is September 11th. If they renege on the September 11th date I will be furious.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Death-Dealer:
That's understandable
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Exactly, hell I'll even take September 15th delivery over September 25th and be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moudav730:
I only asked about shipping it because I don't always have someone home to accept the package. But I think everyone just has jitters is all, otherwise we wouldn't be on this forum in the first place :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cjvail13:
Samsung.com now states that the unlocked version is longer available for 9/14 delivery. Which means a lot more people jumped on the unlocked version than they initially planned. Which also means not everyone will be getting one on time as well. If Samsung does this right they will ship out to those who were affected by the note 7 first. But only time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
It's been saying that for days, in very small letters right before making the purchase. I made my order on Monday the 28th and it said will ship week of September 25th BUT my email confirmation still says it will ship by September 11th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Direct!

"I understand that you wish to know when the Note 8 phone will be shipped. I see that you have pre-ordered the Note 8 unlocked version. The shipment of the unlock phone starts in the 1st week of October, 2017. Once the phone is shipped you will receive an Email with the tracking details. If you have any concern or queries, please feel free to email us.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Bhagirath R"

And I told them I had the note 7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah and I emailed them on Tuesday and this was their response, these people are something else...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
I give up, I sold my Note FE today wish i have waited
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
I meant the distribution center(D.C.) just northwest of Indianapolis, In.......I`m up in Michigan just cross the stateline:good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
What did your order confirmation email say in bold red letters pertaining to the pre-order ship day?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Yeah but for me I'd be out an extra 450USD from the discount, the only thing keeping me waiting. I'll just end up waiting knowing me besides if it's got some massive fault you all can find it before me. :p

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

To be fair they are using digital river and they pretty much write the handbook on ****ing up. This really just reminds me of the vive shipments also right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
I received the 256 as well and started a new thread to see if others received the 128 or 256.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaresTaylan:
I was told that if I didn't see movement by 9/11 to call them back. They were telling me the same thing. So if it WILL go out by 9/11 why would I need to call back? The rep avoided my questions about backorders. Still a lot of inconsistencies on their end.

He was very quick to place all blame on the warehouse, though. According to him they still have no official word on wtf the warehouse is doing as far as fulfillment. He said he has seen a T-Mobile order placed as late as 9/1 already get shipped. The only explanation he had was "some people are getting lucky."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
I just got a "pre-auth" charge on my card an hour ago from DigitalRiver.. the pre-auth diappeared last week after I ordered. But, no change in the order status. Still pre-order. Ordered Unlocked on Samsung.com . Original ship date, Sept 25... phew...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Corruption Inc:
15 minutes after I came home from work, my unlocked Note 8 has finally arrived!

To all those having issues with their orders, I hope they get resolved soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
so good...

If they can add 128gb sd card to my camera bundle, then I will be happy to keep waiting until 9/13..

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

so true, they told me to call back by 9/15 if didn't receive my phone. Haha.

still backordered...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Suntzupa:
First post using Note 8. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
let me reply you again with my note 8 , 6 or 8 days later...:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Just delivered...woohoo!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
did you get your promotion gift as well or just the phone? I heard people who pre ordered direct from Samsung will get the promo gifts shipped with the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mardukeme:
Same here, just just arrived in time just finished work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavman42:
Email yesterday about my order still being on preorder (it has since been updated to confirmed)

They emailed back today, coincidence?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Wow if I would have known it was going to be a 256gb I definitely wouldn't have went for the camera.

EDIT: Nevermind, surprisingly these high capacity cards are flooded on eBay and aren't going for much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
looks like i might get screwed by the UPS guy today, said its on the truck for delivery and our UPS guy was here around 11:30 am and he said thought it was on the truck but mightbe on another one the guy might swing back by around 4 pm est, but I havn`t seen him yet:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcjc:
Another day finished in "preorder" purgatory. Ordered 8/26 - T-mobile black, memory card and wireless charger- former Note 7 user. Received notification early this morning of pending charge from credit card co. still no change in order status on Samsung website. :( sigh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] franky_402:
I hope something like that isnt happening to mine its 430 here and no sign of him yet. Ive seen 2 ups trucks near my house over 2 hrs agp
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joker808dk:
Ordered 8/26 unlocked former note 7 offer with sd card and charger. This morning pending charge shows up but was still pre-order status on Samsung. Finally just changed to confirmed!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
It's here... Haven't had much time to play with it, you know with the hurricane coming and all. Just glad I got it before time to tuck and run.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah that sucks, yeah nothing here yet, it was coming to my work place, and here it is 5:30 and nothing yet :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinkie00200:
I think, whatever they've got in stock at the beginning, they tried to fulfill carrier's orders first to maximize the profit, and then they will ship the leftovers to us who use note7 promo code to get it half priced!

because both Samsung and Tmobile ship their phones from Louisville, KY. Surprised!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Nice case, which one is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaresTaylan:
I finally got my shipping notification. Says 2nd day air and I paid the extra $14. No expected delivery date yet.

Again, I ordered 6am on 8/24. AT&T black.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonly1:
Waiting is over, it has arrived!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
It is a Ghostek Nautical Series. Ordered it from amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan5791:
Yeah same with me. It's after 5:30 pm and still nothing. And usually Fedex and UPS comes around 1pm or so. But nothing yet. I wonder if they got delayed alot of traffic with Florida folk traveling in the Ga area to get away from Hurricane Irma

Update: Finally got my Note 8 and the other package which was my case and screen protector. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 89dynasty:
Turns out if I order over the phone there's no restocking fee
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
still backordered...I am lucky to get S8 plus in hand still, but almost lose my patience to wait for note 8.

At least I still have chance to watch Apple show about their iphone 8 on 9/12 and see if I need to reject my package if arrived by 9/13...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pøîñtßlåñk:
Got mine today. US Unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
I'm hoping that UPS hasn't lost my phone! Mixed messages from them all day. Text and emails said it was coming today, This afternoon got a new email saying it will be delivered tomorrow. The only thing that has been updated on my tracking is that the delivery date has changed from today to tomorrow (9/8). No scans/updated times since it hit Billings, MT last night. The phone came in from the same exact place and at the exact same time as 3 other packages I'm getting from other stores (which are being delivered today).

I wouldn't have minded so much if they didn't get my hopes up then drop me like a wet rag! I normally don't have issues here with UPS. Fine time to start...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
It's not important unless your phone just went into confirmed status and is set to ship on 9/11 with one day shipping and you're on the East Coast of FL:crying: Oh well, I might have to wait an extra day or 2 to get it next week. We're still hoping the storm turns east and stays out in the Atlantic. If you think people on this forum are freaking out over a phone, you should see these people down here in hurricane prep mode!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
finally got mine too, even after the UPS already had been at our work place at 11:30am and came back at 5:30 pm to deliver my Note 8:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whmgreen:
When are we supposed to get the box to return our trade-in? I got the note 8 today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] franky_402:
Mine finally showed up about 20 minutes ago no return box here either
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
you can go to you order page on the website you can print out the return label, and then you just wrap you phone in bunch of bubble wrap and use a box of your choice and send it back, That`s what I did on a trade in for the S8+ and i`m doing the same thing for the Note 8 :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
In light of Irma and all in it's path, the phone is STILL NOT important in the big picture of things. I know people in FL and other places are worried sick and some running for their lives. Phone means nothing in comparison (no matter when it is expected). Your life is and has to be priority "One."

Be safe and take care of yourself.
