I also now have an email from Samsung that my Duo charger has shipped, also showing in FedEx Manager.

Fedex label created still shows in process on samsung. Unlocked mystic bronze from samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
It's strange that I received shipping emails from Samsung for both my items, the phone is supposed to be overnight per what was stated at the time of purchase. If Samsung states it is shipped, one would also think they could assume it would be overnight from the day of shipping......
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:
Can't argue with that thinking...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
More then likely Samsung shipent center has a pickup time slot with FedEx. Fedex arrives with a truck and loads pallets of shipments which fedex then breaks down at their distribution center. Smarter so when they grab a ton of the shipments at once instead of one by one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darrius777:
Just got off the phone with Samsung chat about my order showing back ordered. They basically said that my order is with the fulfillment team and I'll get an email when my order ships. I mentioned that the website and app were giving two different delivery dates. They said they couldn't provide any info as to when it will ship.

Ok here goes.....ordered Verizon Mystic Black on 9/13 from Best Buy online picked it up today 9/15 in So Cal. right when they opened. No trade in but I had 300.00 in Best Buy gifts cards to lessen the sting....too bad it can't go out and play until tomorrow when my Samsung Leather case from Verizon is supposed to arrive in the morning..

Lucky, mine still hasn't been picked up. Wonder if it will happen today.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung delivers the phones to the FedEx distribution center which isn't far from their own. The last FedEx flights from Dallas to both FedEx hubs in Indianapolis and Memphis are at 10:30PM. The phones arrive in bulk and don't need to be individually scanned. Expect them to enter the FedEx system about 9:00PM to 10:00PM local time. In other words don't freak out if they aren't in the FedEx system by close of business.

Seems like unlocked mystic bronze are being picked up.. no sign of any mystic blacks yet

My unlocked Mystic Black has been picked up, delivery 9/16, but I chose to hold at Fedex location near my work, not sure if that will delay it, but won't be anyone home to sign for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
They just leave it where I am...cant remember the last time I had to "sign" for it, even if it's stipulated by the shipper

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

If you called back a minute after, they would tell you something completely different, save your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:
I thought that might be what would happen, but didn't want to take the chance, the package would be highly visible, and while I haven't had any other problems with other things, more expensive orders I usually have shipped to work, but with Samsung Finance it said it had to be shipped to the billing address, and the Fedex location is just down the street from work, so no worries.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
I think thats good, I prefer it that way as I wouldnt want any pirates coming to pick up this loot either. I'm just never given the option, they just leave it or dont show up at all. Lots of "missing" items lately, that never even get attempted to be delivered...

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MANswers:
Ordered Mystic Black from ATT on the 4th Sept, to be delivered tomorrow (16th Sept).

Are there cases/screen protectors available in the market Yet? I dont see any on amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JSK0703:
The big players are still working on getting cases released. Options right now are the official cases from Samsung or some of the import options on eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MANswers:
Does it come with a case like the previous generation came with a carbon fiber like looking case?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:
No case in box.

Well, now in the Fedex Ship manager it shows "Delivery option(s) aren't available due to shipper restrictions. Please contact the shipper.". What the heck is that about? Not everyone can be home all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
In transit for black too, exciting times!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] neovalkyr:
Damn I ordered on the 1st I should be getting mines first but I have no movement.

Edit: never mind I just checked again and it says shipped and the arrival date was updated to the 19th! I ordered the bronze.

Edit2: I just got an email from my fedex manager and it arrives tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mingy12:
I am living my excitement through you guys that have shipping info, or that have the device already. A little jealous. Ordered on the 2nd at 12am and still no movement. Still showing processing. I'm trying to hold on. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JSK0703:
I’m in the same boat.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] StormCell:
Anyone here ordered custom like me? Maybe we should be a separate thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shango22:
Hey guys I love that we have these threads as I anticipate the excitement of a new device.

I went with black - blue hinge. I didn't want to wait but I was like for this much money I have to customize! :)

No shipment order yet. The nice part about ordering from Samsung.com is they frequently ship the device prior to the stated date. At least in my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Question. Anyone from Toronto Canada start receiving their units? I found a guy selling one and am a little skeptical as you how they got it so fast.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] marctronixx:
give it a couple days for t-mo and the carriers to get their act together. takes time to filter down to the chat support cats.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JOHNGAETANO:
Delivery estimate is the 21st for mine. Hopefully they ship sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ack154:
Ordered black on black (wanted blue hinge, but like most others, i'm not waiting that long)

Sept 1, 11:55 pm

First email says ships by 9/18

Second email says "expected delivery 9/21"
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tjward5489:
Pre-orderd the black with the blue hinge at 12:20am and my order status says "Customizing". Hopefully this means it won't take the full 5 weeks like they are estimating.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
I noticed my delivery date changed to September 21st so I thought I would cancel and maybe just pick one up in-store on the 18th. I went to cancel and I got this discount message. I selected the option "Will Take to long" and now they are offering an extra $100 off to keep the order. Not bad for a few extra days.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tjward5489:
Did you have to hit "Cancel Order" after selecting "Will Take too long"? I'm scared to hit Cancel Order and they actually cancel it. Didn't see the Savings offer so not sure how far I can go before it actually cancels.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] marctronixx:
LOL me too! I was too scared to cancel for the same reasons.. not trying to cancel them get the date pushed back to a week or so. some cats on the ultra 20 did this and some of them got to the end of the line, especially since that phone sold so quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] neovalkyr:
Going for the Bronze, i prefer the matt glass too. really wish i could have customized the hinge probably would have gone black/blue if it didnt take so long.

mine also says delivered by the 21st, glad to hear I'm not the only one. i thought i ordered too late and it got pushed back to the 2nd shipment or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
That's awesome, I wonder if I would get that offer since I already got a student discount of $150 off. I'll just leave it, but it is tempting haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
Am I the only one constantly opening my orders(also got a tab s7 plus) as if something would change this quickly?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:
LOL, Naaaa, we all do it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
Only every hour haha... 2 days seems like forever, I need to start a project or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayr04:
I do it every release lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
Placed a preorder! Might cancel depending on T-Mobile and what they're doing, but I got $150 off for being a teacher and I doubt T-Mobile can match it.

Bronze, ships by 9/18. Excited!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThoughtLoop:
I did the same, planning on reselling a Silver 45mm watch 3 and mystic black galaxy BEANS.

Also I'm extremely surprised how many people are not getting a coloured hinge. I have an order for red but I'm tempted to go back and change to blue hinge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] marctronixx:
cats dont want to wait an extra month - thats why.

for me, i like classic black so the color was a no brainer for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, I'd rather not wait. I would get silver and I wasn't overly crazy about it so I passed. It's cool, but I'd rather have the device.

Ordering here in the UK

This thread seems to be dominated by those ordering in the US, but I thought I would drop by and say I just pre-ordered one here in the UK! Mystic Bronze from the EE Network. I got a nice 20% off the monthly tariff (as I work for the NHS)

Well this is just 2 weeks after I received my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra! I am going to have to sell that, and it's painful as I know I stand to lose a lot of money over this (probably dumb) decision.

I dunno, I wish I wasn't so addicted to mobile phones!!

Picked my Verizon Mystic Black at Bestbuy today! What a fingerprint magnet! Probably going to get the Spigen case for it but it seems cases won't available until October!

Been using a TARGUS Stylus for iPad and it work great! Got it from Amazon..... It has a soft rubber tip that won't scratch the display!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
Great news, mine should be here today. I bet we will see a lot of posts like this today. Exciting!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:
I still don't understand why they didn't make the black a matte finish, that would have been sick. Did they not want to take away from the bronze?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
Maybe...One guy was picking up a bronze while I was there. he opened it in the store. He was disappointed the bronze seemed more pink to him.

The inside display is a huge FP magnet. But not sure I want to remove the factory display protector.

Gotta get used to the force it takes to close the Fold 2. I'm not used to have to use this amount of force on a smartphone LOL!

But totally agree with you on the matte finish. That would have been perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] r0ck09:
how fragile is the inside screen ? will it be safe to wipe it with a microfiber here and there when finger prints build up ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
It doesn't seem fragile at all to me. But I would not use something like a S-Pen on it :) I have already used a microfiber cloth and it works really well :)

It does come with a factory installed display protector that might be the cause of the fingerprints. But I'm hesitant to remove it until I see more feedback around these type of forums :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Does the Stylus work well on Fold2? Also, is the screen strong enough to take the pressure of the Stylus? What about scratches due to the stylus?

Would love to see a video of the stylus being used. If possible do post a video.

Thanks.

I am in India and expect to get my Fold 2 in a week's time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorseal:
I've had my s7 (or whatever it was) sent to me before release. I feel like I've got another phone after release too that made me angry.

So its totally random i guess. You just don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
The stylus has a soft rubber tip on it. So it will not scratch the display.

The one ise is called targus stylus for ipad and can be found on Amazon for about 8-10 US dollars.

Working from home today with no time for a video....sorry!

Just joined to let people know i pre ordered the phone in bronze on the 2nd and it shows that it will be delivered today! So excited. Have a question though if anyone could help me out. When i pre ordered the phone the money came out of my account right away. About a week later or so the money went back into my account and the charge wasnt there. I figured it was like a pre authorization or something and i would be charged when the phone ships. Well the phone shipped and out for delivery today and no charge for my account for the phone yet. Will i be charged once i recieve the phone? I find it kind of odd
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
The first hit on your account was the authorization and the charge should have showed pending. Each bank has a different timeline but if no actual charge that matches the authorization comes through in a specified amount of time the authorization falls off. It appears Samsung isn't authorizing a second time when the phone ships and is just pushing the charge through using the previous authorization. It'll just show up on your account now as charged not pending. Big risk on Samsung's part as some banks have time limits on the validity of an authorization.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] akraemer136:
Ok cool thanks. Maybe I'll get charged at some point today. It doesn't even show a pending amount for it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ROE_HUNTER:

My order has always stated for expected delivery of Sep21, and hasn't changed from that.

But in past experience, I've always received pre-orders a bit early.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
Did payment go through on your card all the way or is it still pending. Saw an issue with that, cc held the charge and Samsung couldn't finalize.

Would it be safe enough to sanitize with hand sanitizer/Lysol wipes? Or if not, would it be okay to use uv light sanitizer?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
I would not use chemicals on the inside screen. I usually just breath on the screen to create moisture and wipe off the finger prints.

I purchases the uv light with my phone for the hell of it, so I'll be using that myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iamluckyyy:
Awesome. You think the inside screen can handle uv light sanitizer? I was thinking of getting one that would fit the phone unfolded.
