I'm not trying to whine.. But damn by patience getting thin.. Lol... Preordered on 9-6...still saying preorder.... And got that bum ass email bout being ship delay ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheXclusive814:
I went direct cause Samsung gave me $200 off with the trade of a iphone 5s, that i got for free from someone just for the trade. No one else had that trade offer for that model, or I would just say screw it and go to best buy where it says get it by Sept 21st
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GMAN1722:
I ordered a t-mobile version for my wife on September 15th using the $425 discount. So far I have received an email that it is being processed and that it will ship the week of Sept. 17th. My gift (Gear 360) is on backorder and will ship the week of Oct. 1st. However, I'm not in that much of a rush for it because my wife insists on using the UAG Monarch case and right now I can't find it in stock anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:

Still waiting on sd card, but damn finally got the phone.....man it is NICE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yes, it's coming!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Ordered black unlocked on 9/6, no change still has pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
T-Mobile.

Unlocked is on backorder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
Lucky you, I ordered on the 12th as well but My email says shipping on the week of October 8th and still on preordered status! Was yours the unlocked version too?

P.S. Ok I just cancelled the unlocked version and put an order for the Verizon variant, it says in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
this is some ****, still waiting for my order to move out of pre-order and i ordered on 8/27. temp card hold again last week on thursday and dropped off on saturday.... still no change in status, no emails saying were sorry or anything regarding compensation.... just ordered unlocked from bestbuy, paid for next day shipping (which by the way was $12 and not the $14 samsung charged me) and is guaranteed to be to me by tomorrow the 19th. ridiculous!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Unlocked is definitely on back order.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] browniegirl:
I ordered a AT&T version and it's supposed to be here tomorrow but hasnt moved. Back order is real
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Maybe I'm not so lucky! It says shipped but the money is still in my account!?. I have the locked version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorePAIN:
Should I be concerned that my 360 camera didn't arrive with my phone? I seen other people on the threads stating they got the gift as well. Just wondering
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
My orders moved from preorder to backorder today

8/26 order date

Unlocked - Black

No communications from Samsung even after emailing them regarding a status update on my orders

I'm guessing Samsung underestimated how popular the unlocked version would be and need more time to manufacture this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Typo

That is some seriously major BULL ****!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
It sure is. The whole purpose of preordering is the guarantee the item will arrive on release day. It would have been nice to get it early but not expected. Next time I will take my chances and purchase locally on release day. First time ordering from Samsung and also the last.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
It's sad fellas... They should have known knew it was gonna out sale the note 7... They should have been prepared.. Smh.. It's really no excuse.. Imo..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] siraloz:
No, they didn't have to be prepared! The world as we know it is about to end — again!

Why are you sad? LOL

8/27, Unlocked, Changed to Backorder 9/18
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Did you get yours yesterday??? Mine is stuck 30 mins away and hasn't moved since Saturday I think they lost it! [emoji24]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
How is this possible? Did something happen regarding security on your credit card that caused the delay? I purchased 8/28 unlocked and I've had my phone for a week now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
Yes, but FedEx dropped it at the wrong address. I was sitting there waiting when i get a text that my package had been delivered . Thank goodness it's small town,after a rather nasty call to FedEx I found the driver, and then found out he accidentally dropped it at the Verizon store with a few other phones. Luckily only the outer box was opened and I was able to get it.

I just cancelled my unlocked version. Wanting to order TMobile version and not able. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Was told mine will be shipped tonight via live chat. Expecting a tracking number very soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Unlocked blk ordered Aug 31st still preorder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chumpalunski:
Same!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
Unlocked Black x2 ordered August 26 just received tracking numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
When was your original delivery date?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirthawg:
9/11
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Mine started moving yesterday and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Problem is I can't be in two places at once! FedEx says I don't have the option to have it dropped off unless I call Samsung...right, like I need that headache! If they come up until eleven a.m. that works otherwise they take it back for redelivery.? At least Samsung finally took my money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
When you track the package does it say "Indirect signature"? If so you can just leave a note and sign it and the package will be left at your door.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
Anyone tried to return their note 8 back to samsung yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
This is the worst pre order experience I have ever been through. I cannot comprehend the lack of competence. On September 15 all Note 8s should have been available. What is the point of preordering anymore? This is not even a preorder anymore this is now just a order on backorder now. Someone better be calling Samsung and telling them something. This is such an inconvenience and lagfull order. I really don't understand how they weren't prepared for the demand. It's just boggles me. Waiting 1 month is starting to upset me lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cybrwulf:
Gave up, canceled my still in pre-order status Unlocked, and went with VZW, and within an hour I have confirmed order status. Should see it this week. I will get it and flash the unlocked rom like I did with the Note 8 I will return to VZW now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
wow and mine finally got delivered!!! i can't wait now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
I guess I'm not being impatient because I already have one :-p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
I'm thinking of doing that but if it's stolen I have no recourse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juggamonkey:
Order on 9/5 order still on preorder . Funds went back on my card.Note 7 promo . Samsung told me today that it says Oct 1st. But could be delayed till the 30th. WTF
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Just did a live chat with a Samsung rep since the order page wasn't working. He said servers are down at the moment. He looked at my order on my behalf and sees a ship date on/before 9/22...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheXclusive814:
Just spoke to Samsung and they advised the Unlocked Note 8 is in stock, not on backorder, but the warehouse is no where close to shipping them...BS or not BS...I bet the order i placed today for the VZW variant moves faster than the unlocked variant i placed on 9/7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crshin2me:
good luck guys I am up to 48 voicemails 62 emails 23 facebook post 34 facebook messages I could have walked into any store and picked one up! They need to compensate those of us that did not get it on or before release date! We need to all pull together our resources and get some kind of compensation back!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
In stock but not shipping yet doesn't make much if any sense, sounds like the reps just say whatever to get people off the line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
Welp.. The $$ is pending on my account again.... That's the most movement in a week.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Nice, mines back too... I'm pretty sure they'll be shipping it this Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Why didn't you go to a store?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixk:
Finally, have my first order sent out....

I preordered it Aug 27 with Note 7 promo unlocked variant.

Had "issue with payment" and they said they cancelled my order.... I left it be and now it was picked up to be delivered thursday.

Now I have to cancel my 2nd order or keep it to sell haha...

Still this has been less than graceful experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yes! Come to Papa!

Ordered Sprint black note7 deal on 9/7

Order said shipped on 9/15 but didn't receive email till 9/17 and received return label email on 9/19. Picked up phone from fedex shipping location 9/18 after failed delivery. Was worried I wouldn't be able to pick it up since it was marked that it couldn't be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I ordered my note 8 on August 31st black unlocked. My order finally changed from preorder to confirmed. Hopefully it will ship soon. The 360 cameras still says preorder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheXclusive814:
Which variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrenchJo67:
My ATT version just moved to Confirmed. Out of the 100+ pages read in the this thread i only saw one person that said it took 3 days from Confirmed to ship. Does anyone have more info on timing from "Confirmed" To "Shipped"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Me too, finally shows confirmed instead of pre order. About damn time. My camera is still on pre order as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I would like to know this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Mine just shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
How long did it take to go from confirmed to shipped?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
1 month waiting has given me alot of time to even consider if it's ever worth it. I have the S8+ with tmobile and very on the edge about wether or not I should even get the Note8. Ordered black Unlocked Sep1st. Estimated shipping is Oct1st.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Sov that didn't take long. I got the shipped notice should be here Friday. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
In that situation you can. What you can't do is call FedEx and ask them to deliver to another location for pick up.

Meanwhile...

I ordered ATT Black Note8 on Note 7 promo on Sept 8th. Showed Confirmed early this morning and moved to shipped about 2 hours ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I think they got another shipment in.. So hopefully everyone will get there note 8 asap
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
So did anyone get any email of compensation for the shipping delays?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
nothing yet....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Where do you guys get the form so FedEx leaves the package at the door. I looked on the FedEx website and don't see that option for my package. It says indirect signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
when you look up the tracking #, do you see the option?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
You can do a signature release if the shipper allows that. I did it with my Essential phone and they left it on my porch. With that being said the driver can still choose to not leave it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
I ripped a piece of paper and taped it to my door. Asked driver to leave it and I signed it.

EDIT: Just got notified at the time I posted this, that mine has been delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djlee0314:
Lot's of movement for me today. My order page went from "back ordered" to "confirmed" this morning. Then I just received my shipping notification with tracking #. For reference, I pre-ordered last Friday 9/15 and expected to arrive this Friday the 22nd. TMO variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
It worked.

Ordered black unlocked with note 5 trade in on 9/6 still no change pre-order
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrenchJo67:
Called Samsung to upgrade my shipping to next day as I believe mine will ship tomorrow.

They are calling me back in 4h24minutes (15 minutes before they will be closing).... I am just glad i chose the option "keep my position in line but get a call back" versus waiting on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
just got notification from fedex of shipment..... temp charge fell off the card this past weekend.... no charge? ill take that as compensation!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikeali_786:
Just cancelled my order. It said I was going to get it on the week of Oct. 15 but I found a better deal on Ebay so went with that. Got the last one but here is the link.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
Agreed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Katmeat:
I placed my order for an unlocked Black N8, on 9/14, having waited to see initial reports on battery life before committing to replace my S7E. After seeing the credit card charge removed from my bank account a couple of days ago, and seeing the Samsung order still listed as "Order Placed," I tried to place a call to Customer Support yesterday, but received a recorded greeting that it could be a wait of up to 7 hours on hold before I could speak to a customer service rep. I hung up and decided to call today as soon as I got into work, since I could stay on hold for a lengthy period here.

When I called today, I was surprised to hear a new recorded greeting that again said that it would be a lengthy wait before my call could be taken, but now they have an option to have them call you back, rather than stay on hold. I did that, and about five hours later I received a return call from Customer Support. I explained my concern about the charge being taken off my bank debit card, and suggested that perhaps I had made an error in the billing address or shipping address that caused the charge to be declined by my bank. Instead, the customer support rep had me hold for a few minutes while she checked on the order status, after which she came back and assured me that the order was properly placed and the price was properly processed by the bank according to their records, and that there was no problem with the billing or shipping address. I told her that I was a former Note 7 owner, and she said that the order was still showing that it should be delivered on or before October 15, but that there was no way for her to move that date up.

Given the information on this list that carrier-dedicated units were moving much quicker, I may give thought to switching to a Verizon version if my patience is exhausted in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyclejoc:
I order unlocked black 9/11. After many calls got a date of 10/15

Ordered TMobile variant 9/18. Told today it should ship within 2 days. We'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
You have to call the shipper to get permission to change drop off location. With the call wait times and confusion I didn't even try. I just placed a note on my door to have it left there. I have a two-hour window to dash home and get it before somebody else does, lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Success! I can care less about the sd card, it'll get here when it gets here!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Do you guys think if I decide to change my free items. Would they change it cause I picked the camera and would like to switch to the charger and card. The phone has shipped but the camera is still on preorder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Seen them cheaper on Swappa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Wowwww lucky. Nothing for me yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikeali_786:
Nice! Didn't check that out. Are they new or used? I just checked on ebay and amazon where I found this one to be the cheapest one for a new one.

Samsung Sales Support Line said the above is not true, the phone will mail out without the camera. But there is a delay at the shipping center, so the phone "might" go out next week

Black unlocked ordered 9/6 with Note 5 trade in, no change still pre-order status.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefftlins:
Thats some BS that the phone wont ship without the camera, they just shipped mine yesterday and the camera is not in the order either and they didnt bother contacting me to tell me it wasnt going to be in the order either (though, they still have yet to charge my account). pre-ordered 8/27. the only thing in the package coming today is the phone and the gear vr that i ordered
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
