$1500? LMFAO! One just sold for $1025 on swappa. Note 9 is dropping quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
I pre-ordered mine on the 21st on Samsung.com. I got a notice stating that my 128gb will ship on the 16th of September. That's not what pisses me off. The same day I ordered an unlocked 128gb S9. But because I traded in devices for both phones, Samsung put the S9 order on hold until the Note 9 order is fulfilled. Correct me if I'm wrong, but NOWHERE on the site says there will be a hold if you try to trade in two devices on two different orders going to the same residential address. I contacted one of their inept representatives to try to do the logical thing and change the hold from the S9 so it can ship without being help up by the Note since that's back-ordered, but of course these simps say they can't do anything. What are you there for? Seriously. I hardly complain about anything, but I feel Samsung pulled a fast one on me.

Edit: I countered this by canceling the S9 order, and placing another one, but to my wife's work address instead of our residential address. Haven't received a hold email as of yet. I'll update if I do.

You're foolish is you let the 512 Verizon version go for $1025. LMAO! Oh wait.. there isn't a Verizon 512 one that was sold on swappa. SMH! Quit wasting my time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Flash it with VZ FW, you now have a verizon 512.

Finally got my 512 gb blue with dex dock and dual wireless charger from b & h photo!!! Time to have some fun!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eurominican:
When did you put in the order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
14th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eurominican:
Omfg.. I also pre ordered on the 14th and I have called like 4 times and they keep telling me estimated ship time is this week. Amazon has it in stock ready to ship. this is so messed up that Samsung direct don't have any in stock yet they ship out more to 3rd party vendors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I ordered at midnight on release day, a purple one, then saw one in person on 14th and had to change! LOL so i figured it would be a few days late but not a few weeks! yes amazon and b&h etc etc all have in stock! I honestly think it is the headphones that is holding us up tbh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
To answer the thread question: I think I've forgotten because it has been so long since I ordered, haha. I'm pretty sure I ordered a Note9... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I pre ordered from Best buy on the 17th, I was told yesterday they have no idea when my Blue 512 will ship. Has shown processing since the 18rh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's what's annoying. No one knows anything. Did they make up those shipping dates? Who knows...?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I canceled my order with Samsung when they told me they have no idea when it will ship and with the replies in this thread. I ended up getting my 128gb from Verizon for $1 more a month than Samsung financing because of the trade in difference. Got it the next day, flashed the U1 firmware and life is good. Yes I gave up the freebies and $100 bribe from Samsung but I don't mind. On a good note for those who want to save another $100 just cancel your order and the offer will show up before you cancel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] svtthis:
Yeah I was going to post the same. I cancelled my order with Sammy as well. I already sold my N8 and anxiously waiting my N9. In the end I couldn't wait a supposed 30 day wait time frame anymore. It's not worth the aggravation of dealing with this pos s7 to wait on free headphones (and from what I'm reading has been an ordeal in itself). Samsung has REALLY screwed this up and either doesn't care or has a funny of showing that they do.

Next time Sammy decides to do a pre order they should take orders and FILL them first and then launch the phone. Samsung if you read this get your act together. You royally screwed up and soured ALOT of your loyal fans like myself and others.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
This is very true. I pre-ordered on the 15th of August which was 16 days ago and per the estimated shipping dates from T-Mobile I have another 19 more days at the earliest until my order ships. Truly the only reason I'm still hanging on is the $500 trade-in promo from T-Mobile for an old Galaxy S7 and the free headphones on top of that. Then I'll sell my S9+ and end up paying only a few hundred for the 512gb Ocean Blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elite3k9:
If you are referring to the wired AKG then yes but not the wireless one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
It's so ridiculous. Apple is about to announce their new iPhone and Samsung customers have not received most of their Note 9s yet. What's going on Samsung? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
Ordered the 512GB Ocean Blue TMO variant and trading the Note 8 in on it. Only bummer is that apparently they sold out of the blue 512GB so mine is on backorder and the order on my.tmobile.com hasn't changed. It still says it's due to ship on 08/24. They better honor the $500 trade in. I've never pre-ordered from TMO. And they admitted that no store will carry the 512GB either so folks are at the mercy of ordering online and hoping it ships ... soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rnpasinos:
i originally wanted to get ocean blue since blue is my favorite color. however, i just can't stand the yellow s-pen when i was looking at the display model on the samsung store. so, i went with midnight black instead.

and since budget is an issue, had to go with the 128gb model only. hehehe!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
MOST people have gotten theirs, I believe. The ones who haven't are just... Loud. And here. Haha.

I'm including myself in that category, by the way. ?

PS The iPhone announcement thing is pretty irrelevant to them. Note9 vs. iPhone doesn't seem to be much of a debate. They're for very different sets of people.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eurominican:
At what point does the site give the offer? I'm up to this point. Don't want to click and really cancel it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
$100 is really nice but i don't want to blow my chances, i will wait till the 4th if no movement then cancel
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It was right after that screen. A popup came up and asked if I really want to cancel with the $100 offer to reconsider. There is another user a few pages back that had the same happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elite3k9:
I don't want to say most but the only "Samsung customers" who has not received theirs are the ones who picked up the 512 edition. I could be wrong but that's been on backorder since the 24th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
You saved me another $100 my guy. Thanks for the information.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep. My wife's note 9 is still in order process due to the hold.

I guess it doesn't help much, they received my trade in on the 28th August. Still her note 9 is not being processed. Talking to them is a waste of time.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

And others who did not save $100. Plenty.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
Update on that. I canceled the original device order for the S9 and refused the FedEx delivery on the 24th. It was delivered back to Samsung on the 28th, and they initiated the refund on the 1st. This morning I received an email stating the 128GB S9 I ordered has been taken off of hold, so using two different shipping address (I used my wife's office for her phone) for orders with trade-ins works to prevent your order from being held. The Note 9 I ordered is still backordered and I haven't seen any updates since I placed the order on the 21st. Ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Not sure how true this is, If you pre-ordered through best buy I was told yesterday that they will begin shipping the 512gb on the 6th. I pre-ordered on the 17th so we will see how it goes. My order still showing processing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I hope this is true. I'm assuming Best Buy along with all the Carriers will get the backordered 512gb models about the same time, I'm waiting on my order placed the 15th on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Same here! T-mobile says the 19th at the latest, so I'm crossing my fingers that stock comes in sooner!! I check my email every day for an update, haha.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

Ahhhh I hope this is true and that carriers have stock then too!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gardrek:
I work at a carrier, ordered from Samsung because we get an employee discount through the site. A customer returned a 512 today, I almost lost it. Not at him, just that mine has no update still. Not to mention our deal is way better now but I've used my discount code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's awesome since I'm not too far from your area!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I'm assuming he had ordered it from the carrier directly? Any reasons for the return?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gardrek:
He had always had iPhone, didn't like the experience. iMessage etc. Nothing wrong with the device
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Must have been a culture shock for him .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I'm astounded the power that iMessage has over people.

I'm even more astounded that Android has nothing to combat that still.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
This wait is starting to pi$$ me off...lol I'm usually a patient person, but what gets me is no emails..no contact telling us when we will get the dang device. Yeah I got $150 gift card for the wait but I still want my device. I had posted previously Sept 6th but now im reading 13th thru 18th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Where'd you pre-order to get a $150 gift card for the wait?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Bestbuy, called them on 26th they sent $50 gift card. Called last week they said they were sorry sent out $100..got that today and they gave me a $75 credit on my credit card I used to do my ore order.

I just got this random email from UPS saying im getting a package from SAMSUNG ELECTRONIC AMERICA and it's coming 2nd Day Air. It has to be the new adapter piece for the current Gear VR to make the Note9 fit because I purchased my pre-order from T-Mobile, but man did this make me jump lol. Isn't 2nd Day Air a pricier way to ship? Seeing how Samsung is giving these away for free that's odd. I still have another 2+ weeks just to get the dang phone!

Nice. I went on T-Mobiles chat on the app and on their Facebook messenger and got a grand total (so far) of $90 in account credits for this mess.

Those who've received their Note 9 from T-Mobile US on or about opening day (8/24/18) & participated in the trade-in should be getting confirmation of completion soon:

This is incredibly frustrating. I will never pre-order a Samsung device again. What a f*cking sh*tshow. Pre-ordered on Aug 16 via TMobile online and am being told my blue 512gb won't ship until end of September...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I ordered on the 14th and was told it would ship last week, end of last week i contacted them and they said this week, this week is here and nothing yet! At least give me a legit date! Makes no sense to me!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
Looks like Samsung removed the chat option to check on the status of an order. Called in and now have a 29min wait time to see when my item will be shipping. Ordered from Samsungs website on the 15th of August. I would agree that Samsung really dropped the ball here. They better get these phones out before the Apple event on the 12th

Just got off the phone with them. They informed me that it would ship the week of September 3rd. So hopefully this week still.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
I pre-ordered on August 10th, but there's still no sign of shipping and delivering. This is so ridiculous. ?

I order the same model. Hopefully should see them ship in the next couple of days.

Also waiting on an unlocked blue 512gb from Samsung.com preordered on 8/14 which was supposed to ship the week of 8/26, then got pushed to 9/1 which is stupid because the warehouse is closed weekends and no update rn..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
Luckily Google is kinda sorta got its act together and is pulling the team from Allo (which really was amazing), and assigning them to focus on bringing Android Messages out of 2007. Let's hope for cross compatibility with iMessage and BBM so we can all make use of the amazing features. Yes I know it's a pipe dream.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
This what mine has shown since 8/17
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
Initiated a chat with representatives from Samsung to see the status of my order as the projected ship date of 9/16 hasn't changed online. The rep stated that the projected ship date has moved to the week of 9/08. Heh, we'll see.

Side note: I work in Import Logistics, and we're smack in the middle of peak season. Air freight rates are extremely high with manufacturers in both electronics and fashion & apparel (what I work in) preparing to launch fall and winter lines, as well as new phone models for Q3/Q4. With this comes cargo being bounced from priority liners due to congestion, spacing issues, typhoons in the Asiatic region, etc. I'm sure Samsung has the money to compete with the likes of Apple, etc, but Amazon has priority 9/10. This may not be the sole reason we're so delayed, but I'm sure it has something to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Update:

Bestbuy told me today it will probably be in October when it ships.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Sheesh, I'm not telling you to cancel but I definitely would if it came to October.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I was told 8/26 for shipping from day one with my confirmation email. Nothing that week so I chatted with them and they said 9/1 week, nothing so far this week. Yesterday they said 1-3 days and today I contacted and they said 3-5 but could be longer?! What kind of system are they on?? Honestly I think they are more worried about selling/making Apple phones that their phones are on back burner. I could be wrong but I'm about ready to be done with Samsung. Don't keep making up dates etc etc I need to contact their support and get some compensation for these lies/misinformation
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
Wow that's ridiculous.

I don't understand why it's so hard for companies to know that date for shipment.

At least with Apple the delayed the release of the iPhone X until they had large enough inventory to cover the initial pre orders. Don't "release" and phone you can't actually buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Whoa... That would be ridiculous. I really hope T-Mobile does not push back their date of 9/19 now! I am thankful for that, at this point!! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] karby254:
my order from aug 10th, tmobile 512gb blue is finally shipping! it should be here monday!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's encouraging that they have stock coming in! I ordered the 19th.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Welp, nevermind that. My T-Mobile preorder just got changed AGAIN and now cites 10/3 as the earliest available date!!

This is getting stupid. First 9/5, then 9/19, now 10/3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
Has anyone looked on Samsung's website? Create a mock order and it tells you which devices are available and their projected ship dates before you complete the order. The only model not backordered is the Blue, 128GB Unlocked version. All carrier models are backordered with the 512GB AT&T Lilac Purple being the earliest to ship on 9/08. The Blue 128GB AT&T version (which I'm waiting on) has an expected ship date set for next week. T-mobile guys... I feel for y'all. You're looking at October.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Okay just to update my earlier point about my ship date changing to October 3, apparently I am incorrect about the reason for that. My assumption was that they bumped back the Note9 date. Instead, it is actually the two Note8s that I ordered for other people on my account! The Note Freaking 8 is on backorder! Apparently, T-Mobile has no phones available, hahaha. So the Note8 is on backorder until 10/3 and the Note9 512GB in Blue is on backorder until 9/19-9/26 still. UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Yeah, Samsung's website says 9/30 for my Note9 (512/Blue) through T-Mobile. However, T-Mobile is telling me 9/19-9/26. Hopefully that's accurate (since I did pre-order and all... :rolleyes:) because I want my darn phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Well if it means anything, I just got a phone call from the secretary to the CEO of T-Mobile (John) because I personally wrote him an email about this Note9 pre-order mess and she told me my phone will be shipped within the next 72 hours and she has a different database regarding orders than the usual representative has access to, and they are literally waiting on the UPS truck to arrive to their warehouse anytime now. She was very intelligent unlike alot of the people I speak with when I call the usual T-Mobile number, but who really who knows. I did squeeze another account credit out of them for my troubles lol, so I'm content for the time being.

I ordered 8/15, when did you place your order? You might be in the same boat as me if she knew more details than other T-Mobile reps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
Did you buy from Samsung or tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
Nice! Congrats. Samsung just informed me that it will be another 2 weeks before the phone will ship now. Expected ship week will be the 16th of September. I order the 512gb AT&T variant from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Well I guess she was right, just got my credit card charged! T-Mobile 512gb Ocean Blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's really awesome. I just wrote a 2-page detailed letter describing this fiasco. I'm so irritated. I'm an 8-line Verizon account trying to switch over and they keep pushing us back and back and not helping. I cannot believe I have to wait two more weeks because the freaking Note8 is on backorder now! That's ridiculous that they didn't reserve those for me in August when I placed my order.

I ordered the 19th (was the 10th, but had to cancel and start over due to misinformation!). So frustrated...

Thank you for the idea!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yup no problem. It's cool you can contact the CEO and you actually get a response back. My credit card was just charged also so maybe everything she said was true?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I hope so, but my new complication is the darn Note8 that is backordered. They don't ship anything until the whole order is filled, so... I may be SOL. Hope they do something. They refuse to send the available phones early. It's frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
