Any other FL/GA people have a phone still sitting in Atlanta? My phone's been there since Monday morning. I just got off the phone with Fedex and they told me it will remain there until my area is safe from the hurricane. I must have seen at least 10 Fedex vans out on the road today in my area, hard to believe. I understand we still have some traffic lights out here, but I currently have 3 full truckloads of liquidation traveling through the southeast on their way to my warehouse on the East Coast of FL. I find it hard to believe that Fedex can't release a 3 lb. box from Atlanta! Ordered on day 1, still waiting.

Thanks!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Whatttt u bought it yesterday??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
You can, there's a button that pops up onscreen that lets you toggle between crop to fit (expand edge to edge) and fit to screen (keep the normal aspect ratio). Of course it's better it the top and bottom weren't cropped, but you can't really go from a pillarboxed video to edge-to-edge, you'll have to make **** up that's in the pillars. Games are easier since you already have the data to make **** up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
This is exactly what the rep told me over chat yesterday. Still no sign of getting shipped (showed preorder on my order page) which is why I canceled today and ordered through Amazon and the phone will be here tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Itchiee:
My 8/28 order has finally shipped!

(The phone and charger apparently since the SD card is still pre-ordered?)

Hang in there!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Damn, come onnnnn update!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
??? ordered through Amazon and got a ship date?? Amazon still shows "temporarily out of stock" on both the black and orchid grey. Am I looking at it wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
Yes, I got the black one. When I ordered it said temp out of stock but 1 hour later emailed me with delivery date. If you check periodically, it shows availability every once in a while but it goes to out of stock again quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
are you still able to get $425 off? Through Samsung I get 300 for my note 5 and 125 for having a note 7.

also , on a side note , just got off phone with Samsung CS , wow different crew at night , was on hold for an hour and a half. Was told it will be delivered tomorrow , but could not give me a tracking number. I know I paid for next day , but its getting kinda late to send it out tonight. I know ups can do that stuff here in Wyoming , but FedEx next day usually shows up a week later..... fingers crossed!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi_s82:
I paid outright with no trade-in so it worked. You can only get the free promo things (SD card charger etc) if you buy through Amazon. Other reason I bought from Amazon is much better return policy in case anything goes wrong.

Hope we all get it tomorrow! The wait is not fun haha I sold my S8+ and living with a crappy moto phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juggamonkey:
I ordered September 5th . My order still shows preorder and my money was returned to my card . Called Samsung today and the lady insisted that the money they took out and put back was a authorization and it would actually charge the card when it ships Oct 1 . Why do I have to wait so long when people are ordering yesterday and shipping today?

Mine was the 7th and says the same thing but money was taken from Samsung financing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Um.... Some of us ordered on the 24th of August and still don't have a phone. After 1500 posts in this thread I have figured it out, they are shipping phones completely random. Somebody could order tomorrow and get it before you. That's why a lot of us are quite pissed off. Wish I had better news for ya, but I don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
Yea I think that something happened like the hurricanes affected shipping and the market. There's no telling when the phone will ship but it will ship eventually as they take care of all the orders. Once it ships the paying account will be charged and there you go. Also I've seen it kinda depends on your preorder time window the earlier you ordered the sooner you'll get it and the later the more delayed itl be. Business as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
how much does your package weigh?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Itchiee:
That's a personal question....

But 3lbs

Black 64GB ordered directly from Samsung AU online with EPP discount on 28th August. Can't wait for next Thursday/Friday!! (Currently preparing for dispatch, but with a shipping date of 21st September)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesslac:
I saw a comment from a Samsung rep that shipping could start Monday
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Huey85:
Oh really? Samsung rep from Australia?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesslac:
Yep on another forum a Samsung rep said they will start shipping monday so fingers crossed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Huey85:
That would be so awesome. Just received my Spigen case and waiting for my Whitestone Dome screen protector to arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NamelessFragger:
I forgot to come back here on Tuesday and show this:

Yeah, August 24th pre-order delivered September 12th (in northwest Georgia, natch), and with the 256 GB microSD card some were reporting with their early pre-order deliveries. Bonus!

Hang in there, guys! It'll be worth the wait when it gets there... however, I have heard reports of later orders shipping without microSD cards because they were out of stock. I get the feeling they might've caught on to their mistake and intend to ship 128 GB cards to the rest, who knows...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pilzj:
Austria: mine has been dispached today and should arrive tomorrow.

In Austria they are not allowed to deliver prior to September 15th...

Only ordered 3 days ago. Status just changed to shipped!

GG Samsung UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycrosswalker:
*Update*

Canceled my order through Samsung last night, decided to buy it through Best Buy instead. Still no guarantee on when it'll get to me, but its a better deal with the Note 5 trade in and I'd rather have a rough idea when it'll get to me and actual people I can talk to - rather than samsung's customer support who can't tell you anything.

Good luck everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken4G:
Ordered 9/2 from Samsung, got the phone and charger on Tuesday this week. Still waiting on the sdcard though. It still shows "PREORDER" on the website. Grrrrr wish I could have gotten the 256GB like some people here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RojasTKD:
Same here, but boring we'll get to 256gb card also. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
Use call back button . Wait time 5 hours and 18mins
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Arrived today, so in essence ordered 9/3 T mo version no trade in, and got it today. 2 days late due to Irma.

Same with wifes one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasez:
Ordered unlock 8/24

Finally got some movement yesterday when I got an email station that payment failed. Called cc company and it was BS. Sent back the Samsung email with the same credit card number and called customer service and they claim it showed the credit card was excepted. The email I got from Samsung said the phone would arrive today but I'm sure that is BS. No shipping info and order still show preorder status.

How does Samsung develop complicated electronics and has an order system as sorry as this one has been with the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, in the email it said it would arrive by 9/14. I did happen to update to a different card though and i do see a new charge but in my banking app it says its a "card hold" so is it another BS hold until they decide to ship in who knows when?! originally pre-ordered on 27th. However i did originally order the 25th but had no idea bout note 7 deal until they emailed me on the 27th with the link to redeem..... infuriating. next time will just order from a carrier...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrfett79:
Ordered mine on the 7th. Former Note 7 owner who took advantage of the trade-in for $425.00 and still nothing. Can't walk away from $425.00. Also ordered the rugged blue case on Aug 31 with a delivery date of today and nothing on that either. My email for the order said my phone would be here by the 21st and my gear 360 is supposed to ship by tomorrow. Somehow I get the feeling I'll be waiting awhile for all of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. Now payment is pending for the second time. Granted I ordered the unlocked blk Aug 31st.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
Finally they call back .

They told me will ship out by tomorrow and should arrive by Monday. Asking nicely and gentlemen will you help me out by ship out today ? She nicely told me back she was email the warehouse and tell them ship my phone today instead of tomorrow, but only 80% success .

Is that true or was she lied to me ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xfaega:
Don't want to sound negative but she told you what you wanted to hear. I was told Tuesday my unlocked note 8 would ship Wednesday so I could get it by Friday. Will my status still shows preorder. So take it with a grain of salt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Notasaurus:
I believe she will send an email, but I kind of doubt it will make a difference. Here's hoping though!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
actually just got off the phone with samsung CSR. def not coming today, once shipped there should be an email with tracking (which i certainly haven't gotten). she said the order does not show as being shipped and cant give me any other info that what can be seen on website. what a bunch of sh**
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
Nothing change yet on my order ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I got the same response.. Lol... Ill be patient... Cause saving that $425 is to good to pass up.. Imo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrfett79:
Exactly why I'm waiting. Can't pass on $425.00. Pretty bad customer service for past Note 7 users. Maybe they saw we didn't abandon them so they feel they don't have to provide good customer service
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
I'm thinking of just getting one from AT&T then returning it once Samsung gets around to shipping the pre-orders. Really stupid to offer a pre-order then not fill them before the general release...

My .02
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrfett79:

Any post September 1 unlocked orders moving?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
3 hours and 25 mins wait for call back.

I got ticket number and I will ask about that email was sent to warehouse to ship my device today by cs.

Btw , no change on order status yet.

Will update after call back

they stopped offering the call back feature...

Do you have any idea how fast your device shipped?! Many people, including me, ordered over two weeks ago and have no progress. Your order is less than 72 hours old and yet you have called multiple times (3+?) in the last two days?! This is a prime example of impatience and why Samsung CS is ****ing slammed right now. Entitled?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
So ? Problems ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I emailed the office of the CEO at Samsung and at least got a response from them after a few hours. I wrote a long email explaining all this crap. Still don't think that I will get my August 24th pre order before next week. Maybe you guys should start blowing up the CEO office email, it has to have some effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
What model did you preorder on Aug 24th ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
I was pretty clear. Wait times for customer service are between 3-5 hours, because people like you order 48 hours ago and don't have an ounce of patience; tying up the representatives stopping them from answering legitimate complaints. Your entitled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steigerelli:
I would think you should get it by end of day today. Mine is still sitting in Atlanta. I called Fedex last night, they told me Melbourne/Melbourne Beach is still on the unsafe list.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Huey85:
By the grace of the gods! Looks like Australian preorders from Samsung Au are shipping earlier than expected. Someone did mention that they could've started shipping by next Monday but looks like they're doing one better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:
The samsung charged on my card is completed, no more pending showing . Its mean samsung got my money already .

And with preorder , they only charge when the device shipped . Am I right ?

Just got that same email. Ridiculous. Ordered 8/27 black at&t with note 7 promo, this email is after the one I received on Wednesday stating I needed to update my payment and the phone would arrive 9/14 which of course did not happen. The promo is the only reason I'm not canceling either. Waited long enough for this ****, what's another few days. I won't ever pre order direct from them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kid84:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skillzo1:
Just got the email also ( DELAYED SHIP TILL NEXT WEEK ) Direct from Samsung orchid grey on VZW.

Lol good ol samsung where customer service will get you nowhere and where nothing is organized and handled like its suppose to be. Its truely the worst company for customer support. Ive learned from my note 4 days to never trust or rely on anything samsung says. If it wasnt for my trade in value of the s7 edge id cancel and order someplace else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Dude really? Didn't we all cover this with you already? You get in late in a deal ordering like 2-3 days ago and there are people that ordered 8/26-8/28 window that either have not shipped or just now shipped and you expect yours to be delivered 3-5 days after you ordered?!

If you had read this thread at all before you ordered you would have known that was not going to happen.

I can only assume you are of the gimme gimme gimme now instant gratification generation. If you are and continue with unrealistic expectations in your life you are going to be one disappointed dude along with pissing everyone off in your path that you meet.

Take a chill dude. Is your time not worth more than sitting on a phone with Samsung numerous times in 72 hours to complain? I know mine is. Not to mention the complaining to Samsung is not going to get your order moving any faster as the people you are talking to have no clue what the warehouse is doing because they are a different company all together fulfilling orders(Digital River) and they are just going to tell you whatever you want to hear to get to the next call.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Um.... Some ordered on the 24th.... Just saying..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrfett79:
Ok my status just changed to confirmed. Don't know if that means it will ship soon but I definitely can't cancel the order anymore which usually means it is in the process of shipping out. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Great released was today. I am still on pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Notasaurus:
Cancelled my pre-order with Samsung, walked in to TMobile this morning and walked out with 2 note8s 15 minutes later. I may not be able to get as much for my S7 as Samsung was going to give but I also don't have to wait for them anymore and can still get something for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slickdaddy96:
Even worse then that this Kid dude is complaining. Though I would think at this point any order from prior to 8/25-8/26 time frame still not shipped is either unlocked version or the person has a payment issue that is going to eventually lead to the cancelation of the order either due to their credit card fraud protection issues or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
payment issue is bull**** , Samsung is using that for an excuse , I have called my bank over and over , even when I "update" the payment info , I used the exact same info they already had. My bank says they never blocked or stopped anything , so in my mind Samsung is just using that as an excuse. I know lots of folks have heard that excuse already. I even told the Samsung cs rep , that I would add my bank rep on the call for a 3 way conversation and the Samsung rep flipped out. Needless to say , they didn't want to say that anymore. Now when I call they just lie , say it is shipping the evening that I call and should arrive the next day. If it wasn't for the 450 dollars of , and all the accessories that I have already I would cancel. I live in Wyoming so it will be next week before any BestBuy gets the unlocked version in , but at the same time , will be next week at the earliest to get my phone from Samsung. Some pre-order that turned out to be.

But I am with you , these guys who ordered less than 5 days ago complaining??? really must be why Ihave to wait 3+ hours to get thru to the call center.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] purchasedPhone:
No need to make him a pariah, he's just the only one opening discussing it here. I was told yesterday that one reason is "a hurricane affected a call center." That and yes, they are being overloaded with unnecessary calls.

I do think that when a person who placed an August order actually call customer support, CS have already answered so many frivolous calls that the legitimate complaint gets overlooked.
