Yes I am aware 9/3 was a Sunday - they did not caveat the language to say if we tell you it shipped on what is normally a non-business day it really means we shipped the next business day. 2 business days from 9/3 *is* 9/6 allowing for the Monday 9/4 holiday. They said is shipped on 9/3 period. UPS says it actually shipped 9/6 (with a label created on 9/4), the tracking information was not valid until 9/6 and UPS didn't have it in their possession until 9/6. Plain and simple, Samsung said it shipped when it actually did not. I didn't force them to give me a shipping date, I did not call customer service, I did not email them - they initiated the conversation about when the device shipped.

If it is unforeseen events, or whatever, Samsung should have followed up with accurate information, not leaving it at "arrives two business days after it ships" which is what they did.

Don't forget - Samsung controls the entire release show. Someone at Samsung made a decision, and then they botched communicating it to customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kawaisa:
As far as I can recall, they didn't actually say note 7 owners would get it before others. What they did say is that they're giving the note 7 orders free 2day shipping so that they would get it 'before others.'
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedumbrella:
This makes me laugh. You payed for expedited shipping and get all beside yourself that your order has not been processed for an item that releases on the 15th and is scheduled to ship on the 11th. You didn't pay for early shipment. You paid for fast shipping. If it arrives a day after it is shipped, then you got exactly what you purchased.

There are a whole lot of factors people ignore, such as whether or not their order of a specific model exceeds the number currently available or if the person that ordered later and got it sooner ordered the same specific model. This can make a huge difference.

A-*******-men lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
I think you misunderstood part of what he, and I, were saying. We paid extra money for overnight shipping. I will speak for myself and say that I know that I was not paying to have it shipped early. And instead, we got 2 day shipping. No biggie though, Samsung already said they would refund once we got the phones, which I am expecting them to do (As per someone else who spoke with them.).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedumbrella:
I guess all the excessive complaining gets drowned out by the fact that you are getting the device a whole week before it was even supposed to ship. Since a few posts have cited the specific wording on the Samsung site about shipping, do you also intend to send it back and tell them not to ship it until the 11th as they clearly stated they would?

That's plenty early for me. The case for it is on backorder until the 8th and the screen protector was a preorder that releases on the 11th. Samsung / UPS is more than welcome to assume responsibility for any damage until then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xcaliburpcs:
Well the struggle is real, I'm in Houston and a Samsung rep at best buy I should be getting my note 8 tomorrow if ups doesn't messup my order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] briwil:
Ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeyass408:
will get getting two note 8 tomorrow on the 7th. Ordered directly from samsung.com for the unlocked version on the 25th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
????. All I said was they did 2 day shipping once shipped rather than overnight. There is a difference, and even Samsung said they would refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] franky_402:
My tracking number was just updated to departure from louisville
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedumbrella:
This is what I found funny. Companies will always refund if there is a hint of logical argument because that is the easiest course of action, but that doesn't mean others won't think it's ridiculous. Anyway, congrats on getting your phone a week ahead and not having to pay any shipping for it. Sounds like you made out well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I did too. Pixel xl.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Through Verizon or Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I gave up on Samsung two whole shipping days ago. Too long. I'll have already ordered the note 9 by the 11th. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Why I was asking rydermadness is because, unless maybe a 32gb model, i'd never trade that in towards note 8 discount.. That's just me. I have 128 gig and to me it's not worth trading in.

Use the link. The Wrap sucks. It does not work with the WRAP

Most of the deliveries will arrive this week I hope
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] franky_402:
yup that worked, looking at the source code on your post the video id looks to be inside quotes and thats whats causing the issue, idk if you can edit them out or not but either way we got it now.

edit

i just tried to embed a youtube link and it does the same, so its how the forum is handling that tag in particular

and a further edit, looks like the wrap works for tapatalk just not for chrome on desktop at least
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Yeah, it looks like MOST/SEVERAL/SOME of the people who ordered Aug 24/25/ and some 26 will be getting their phones tomorrow. For people who ordered Aug 27 and later, they'll ship the phone out 7th the earliest (maybe the 8th, see below) and we'll get them by the 11th. Of course there are exceptions, as some who ordered on the 24th or 25th still haven't gotten any shipping info.

Yeah, so everyone who's gotten shipping info will get there phone, everyone else should stop checking til the end of the week since there won't be any changes. Most likely Digital River simply ran out of phones as they didn't anticipate the demand. They do have a lot more phones, but the Aug 24/25 people cleaned out all their stock in their warehouse/distribution center, and a new batch of phones won't come in til tommorow, so don't expect any new tracking numbers from them til the end of the week.

Personally, I blame all the resellers who made up fake Note 7 receipts to get in on the deal. I doubt Samsung expected this many people to get into the promo, the line just got swamped with non-qualified resellers and flippers like a Black Friday doorbuster.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitwiser:
Ha, but what did you have to give up? An S8+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
This video didn't provide any new info than we already knew here.

Ordered on 8/25 still on pre order status for unlocked model with finance option and trade in. Nothing changed. Even they ship out tomorrow for 2days shipping, the most earliest date for delivery is 9/11. If they ship out on 9/11, then I am lucky to get the phone on 9/13 which is so "happy" to get the phone "before" others as a previous Note 7 user. What a joke!

Mine landed and is at my UPS center: all within 8 hours today!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
For all those who keep giving Note 7 users a hard time for complaining...

Samsung specifically stated that they were going to enjoy their Note 8 first for having such a problem with going through recall twice...

This means that if anyone received the device on the 5th, Note 7 users should have as well...we didn't make the marketing campain, they did.

Those that paid for next day delivery are receiving the devices on the same day as those with free two day shipping...you really cannot see the problem with that! Samsung is refunding the cost as soon as orders are complete, due to errors in their system. If you believe that it is ok to pay for next day and receive two day, good for you...but I am a little smarter than that...

Now, the trade in of $425 for the variety of devices is a loyalty offer and it is offset by the trade in offer for ANYONE who purchases their device from Samsung....for instance, $300 for the newer devices...it is not much of a difference...If you paid full price without trading in anything...you still had the offer...leave Note 7 users alone...they are only getting $150 more off for their troubles and it includes many older devices...this does not mean they shouldn't complain of the shipping problem...

This is further offset by the various discounts offered by the carriers, like $480 trade and BOGO or 50% off. Again, showing that Note 7 users aren't getting too much more than others...in some cases, less...add it up...the only real difference is that we can trade any device for the $425...

I can go on Samsung right now and place a regular order (like everyone else) and trade in my s7e and it only costs $150 more. If you are a student you get 20% off...which makes it only $50 more...other people have been able to negotiate better discounts...

Still, the legitimate complaint is that no Note 7 users made it in the first deliveries as well as screwed up shipping details. Users who paid for next day are going to get them the same time as those who did not.

What do you think Note 7 users, who got burned twice deserve for their loyalty?

The main reason you all have anything to say to the Note 7 users is thst they are getting a discount you aren't, but I assure you, the deal is not necessarily better than others out their from the carriers. ADD it up...:eek:

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

Also, I am getting a shipping refund because Samsung agrees with me...

And, they are also accepting an S6 that has some screen separation for the $425 trade, so eat it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whmgreen:
I personally wonder how much money it took Verizon Sprint and T-Mobile to get to ship their note 8's earlier or are they just that much better of companies than att and Samsung?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beherrschen:
I agree. And the only reason I didn't order on the 24th is because they didn't send me the email until the morning of the 25th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
I hope the backorder is very short lived.. Sounds like many have called and new stock is right around the corner. Idk why Samsung sells any if they don't keep enough stock for filling their orders. I believe all the carriers are good with stock.. Sucks waiting but it'll be worth it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevLauren:
I have no idea why AT&T is behind schedule, but U.S. carriers certainly don't have to beg (or pay) manufacturers to send them bulk deliveries of new phones in advance of the official release. It's quite the other way around. Samsung, LG, Moto Mobility... they NEED the carriers to push the phones, to get them into their customers' hands. The phones have got to be shipped ahead of time AND with each carrier's software version. In this instance especially, when the Note 8s are going to all the major U.S. carriers, customers have no great incentive to switch carriers just to get a newly released device. The carriers quite frankly don't care which phone you use, as along as you pay them for the service. Does anyone recall how long a wait it was for Verizon customers to actually have an iPhone available to them? Industry pundits insisted Verizon would regret it. They didn't. Big Red rolled right on until they could reach some sort of compromise with Apple about the software.

My package checked in 3hrs away from me in Montgomery at 9:44 P.M....looks like tomorrow is my Note Day...

Samsung really dropped the ball on this whole prioritising note 7 owners. I couldn't even order for the first week because it kept telling me promo expired once everything was in my cart.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
That is really odd, especially because it's the Sprint version. I know the Unlocked is backordered until October but I figured the carrier version would be plentiful. I ordered my Unlocked on the 28th and it still says Pre-order, if it turned Backordered I'd say screw it and just buy it from Verizon and it would be delivered by Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Ordered mine early too, prior Note 7 owner. Ordered a T-Mobile variant with a $425.00 discount. Just got off chat with Samsung and was told I'll receive it the 14th, was a little miffed but I'll just have to wait a little longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krayziepop:

Glad some of you guys are getting the phone, looks like I will finally start bugging Samsung. Ordered us unlocked on morning of 24th and still at pre-order status. No shipping info as of yet means they will not meet the 11th date stated in my email. Man I have some bad luck, and it is quite frustrating to me to see orders that were placed after my order already shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
let me know what they say (even though it'll just be "the run around"). I pre-ordered on the 24th too and still in pre-order status. The confirmation email says "ships 9/11", so that means it'd even be the 13th or 14th before we got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
Mine is out for delivery in Vegas. Guess I'll start reading the pdf manual. Ordered on the 25th, N7 deal, TMO version.

BTW, I started with the Palm Pilot and the evolution of Palm devices. I've owned all the Note models and then dropped and broke my 64 gb Note 5 at an airport in March and have been using a S7 Edge since. Hence my anxiety with the delivery mess. I will be so happy to be using a Note again. I take notes all the time. Having an S-Pen is a really big deal for me.

I made it to Confirmed officially now! Progress is happening! Crossing my fingers for shipment today, I paid the extra for expedite so I could potentially have it for the weekend. *fingers crossed* :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
everybody's email said "ships 9/11", even if you ordered the very first second pre-orders were available. Your order screen said 9/21 and your email still said "ships 9/11". Don't get mad and raise hell about someone else's order, reserve that for when they screw you over and ship yours on the 21st
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
My very first pre-order that I made on 8/24 said Ships by 9/11, not ships on 9/11.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] co.ag.2005:
I'm not too worried about it. It says ships 9/11. it's not 9/11. I specifically ordered the unlocked version because I don't like carrier versions and their bloat. It sounds like carrier versions are the ones being delivered (I could be wrong though).

FYI, my status on samsung.com did change from pre-order to "confirmed" this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
Well I'm a little skeptical that my phone will show up today. UPS "was" scheduled to deliver today but last night I get an update that a flight was delayed and my delivery will be the next business day (Friday). The thing is that they were in a location that is only 2 hours away by car! Well, this morning I get a UPS update text and an update email and they both state that the phone will be delivered today. When I check the UPS app or look at tracking online it still shows no date and the delay. Talk about confused!
