Got 2 orders containing 3 items from Samsung UK:

Order 1: Fold2 (Black) & Buds Live

Order 2: Fold2 case with stand

Both the buds and the case have a DPD ref, but the Fold2 still says "Order Placed".

Not looking good :(

Unlocked US devices have started moving. Mine is now In Process with no cancel button. (had the 28th date on mine)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
Same!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:
I just got same ... I also cleared data on app on my phone .. and login again to see same on app ... with Sept 18th date still on it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] r0ck09:
Just an update on my unlocked black ordered sept 2nd. Samsung shop app now says back ordered. Still says ships by sept 18th. Strange. Wondering if I should cancel and just order the ATT variant. If I cancel and re-order will I loose all my discounts including the 100$ cancel discount
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] trejojr88:
I did the same thing and the cancel button disappeared as well ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:
Hmmm ... Did you check online or on app ? Because I was seeing difference between both... I would hang tight a little hopefully moves ... You would lose that cancel and have to do it again if it takes again ...

Awesome [emoji4]

Just cleared the data on my app and my order for the unlocked Mystic Bronze is now showing backordered. The suspense is driving me crazy. Ordered midnight on 9/2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
I have friends in Seoul that have already received there's. Just because someone said something to someone on Twitter doesn't make it accurate. Samsung sent a slew of Fold 2's out to the press and they all looked like production models. If not, they were damn close. Also, we know the U.S. carriers are shipping early so if there's something going on in Korea it would have to be unique to that market. Like a cellular radio problem specific to their three carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
Cancel button just disappeared and status changed to in process.

Unlocked Mystic Black

Still says Sept 28 though
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xavierxxx2p:
Wtf ,changed to backorder..bs man i reserve early supposed to be first come first serve
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
So I ordered 2 Fold 2 both Mystic Black

One from Verizon on Sept 2 and the order says it is getting ready and delivery on Sept 18th

Ordered Sept 14 from Bestbuy the same Verizon model today and it says I can pick it up tomorrow! WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
Ordered the first on Samsung unlocked black, just today showing in process. App shows 18th but I think that's useless as it seems to be having issues updating info as clearing cache and data still don't show the order updated from created.

Website does show the new info with delivery by 28th.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
That's normal. Preorder isn't a real status. The status changes to backordered which is a real status. In theory all the preorders get converted to backorders in the order people made their initial purchase. So they have a list of let's say 2,000 back orders in chronological order. As inventory is placed in the system the backorders start to be fulfilled. As long as the number of backorders isn't greater than the available inventory everyone's happy. If things happen as in the past backorder is a brief stop along the way. After the cancel goes away look online at transactions for the credit card you used. Hitting the credit card proceeds the updating to shipped and/or generation of a FedEx airbill.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] r0ck09:
Just want to add that i paid fully through paypal and funds were taken out the day i ordered. Also, on the site under order details still says EXPECTED DELIVERY Sep 28, 2020 as opposed to ships by the 18th on the app. I can still cancel my order on both app/site.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
I'm in literally the same exact boat. Ordered on September 5th through PayPal and they charged my credit card immediately. Now it shows backordered.

I don't mind waiting an extra week or whatever it is, but if it gets delayed any more then I may as well have ordered a custom hinge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:

Buds live, watch, and mystic black unlocked fold 2 coming on wednesday. Case still shows 22nd.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xavierxxx2p:
Where did you buy case cant find it on samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Cases are really hard to get fast. I got a brown leather and black aramid case from the UK because I wanted them before the phone arrived. Samsung doesn't show the brown leather case available until 10/3. The black one is showing 9/26. The aramid case shows nothing but a "where to buy" link that shows it available nowhere when you click on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strkt:
I bought the aramid kickstand case off samsung on 9/2 when they put it up for preorder. Pretty sure you can't preorder it anymore cause its sold out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackie099:
Mine is delayed and it says backordered on the app.

Mystic black, unlocked, US, ordered on Sep 2
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] labnotes:
I placed my order black on black on the 2nd and says backorder to sept 28th. I just cancelled my order with samsung.com. Sorry I don't play these type of games. I have no problem waiting after Oct 16th.

Thought about it I don't need the phone now, I'll wait till the hype dies down. You guys enjoy the phone!

In Fedex Deliver manager, I see a package from Samsung. ETA 9/16 :good::highfive::victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strkt:
Shouldn't of cancelled it. The 28th date is a bug. Everyones unlocked black order went from 21st to 28th but a majority of ours shipped today with delivery on Wednesday. I guarantee if you kept your order, it would of shipped tomm and came thurs or friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] CP Conductor:
I also have a package from Samsung in the FedEx app. Says delivery on the 16th by 8pm!!! Already figuring out how I want to transfer 130gb from my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G.

I have one in FedEx showing as well for the 16th. Awesome!

I got the aramid off Verizon for $44.99 to be delivered on the 18th. I have a feeling it'll beat my phone to the house.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjjanggo:
nothing on fedex yet and backordered on the app. ordered a tab with it also, that could be the factor ?

That sucks, I ordered 2 items too and have 2 tracking numbers.

Tracking and label found thanks to searching by reference order number.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] labnotes:
No worries, I'm not in dire need of the phone. Even if it comes by the 21st, what's another month of wait? I got options now to customize and whatnot maybe even pay my car note early! =)

Samsung.com is playing games with me so I now I got to let them know they aren't the only place I can purchase this phone from. I'll wait after the hype dies down. I got no problems waiting after Oct 16h. Enjoy the phone!

Kinda crazy I had 2 other ones in the Fedex app that were cancelled for the 14th delivery and one for the 15th delivery. The only one that is now active is this one for the 16th.

There's alot of demand for this phone. I have a feeling they're going to put more money and r&d into fold 3... will be good for us.

I'm on the phone with AT&T Firstnet right now. sucks because the order number they gave me won't show status, so I have to keep calling each time.... and everytime I call, they're confused. One told me ship date of 17th, the next one had "no info" on shipping date. Buncha bozos working there.

sucks!

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arielgon:
Before it Said Estimated Delivery Date 09/28/20. Now the App says Back-ordered "Will ship week of Sep 25, 2020"

It was through the app, the website status has not changed there yet.

I also ordered a S7+ Tablet and says Ships by Sep 18th. No change there since I ordered on 9/10
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah that one has shipped for me, fold2 is showing in progress, but I have tracking for both. The buds have been picked up and the fold is "Label created". both show a delivery date of the 16th but of course, if the fold isn't picked up today that will change.

Might be the wrong forum, but is there any advantage to picking up the T-Mobile version vs the unlocked?

Ok will keep my order as is. I ordered the unlocked and was concerned about 5G
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblesense:
I desperately want to know too. I was thinking the same that they must've pre-made quantities in each colour options. I checked the website earlier it shows it's still at the customising stage. If I had stuck with my original order I would of received mine tomorrow by 10:30am.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:

Firstnet told me 17th. I keep calling them. I asked if they could send early, she put me on hold and told me no. lol...

She said it's on it way to you at first and I was like REALLYYY!?!?!? and then she gave me the order number for my tracking number. godddd.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
Same here. Bronze unlocked, now shows "back ordered" on app. And still shows "expected delivery on 9/28" from website.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
When did you bronze unlocked guys order? Up until maybe a week ago (7 days after the preorder started) bronze was still showing 9/18 while black was out much further. I thought it was because Samsung misjudged interest in black. Not to get everyone even more twirled up but I wonder if there was some truth to the Twitter kid's post about there being a problem with bronze units in Korea. If some amount got rejected for QC it would explain why the color that seemed more available suddenly isn't. But what kind of problem could bronze have created that didn't happen to the very similar Note 20's? Again, thinking out loud - no one panic. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:
Don't go by Sept 28th date .. that's what I'm showing but my label was created for shipping ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
I ordered mine on September 5th through PayPal with my credit card being charged immediately with Samsung also putting another $16 hold on the credit card that recently cleared (weird).

I really wouldn't give much credence to the rumours about QC. It's easy to speculate but I doubt anyone has hard evidence to that.

I think we're all just sitting very impatiently because we're all aware of how preorders and shipping generally works. I think if carriers/OEM's never shipped anything early and always had phones arrive on the day they're supposed to, then we'd just be sitting patiently until that very date. But knowing some people are getting their phones early, while some of us are getting it on time, and some even later - we're all a bit angsty and a bit impatient. I'm glad some of us are getting it early, but I wish we all would just get it on the release date so a lot of us wouldn't have to be disappointed/getting angry about our orders.

I won't be cancelling or doing anything to my order. Next time, I'll order through Samsung but will get my carrier's phone rather than the unlocked (can always flash the unlocked software through ODIN). I got $150 off for being a teacher and another $100 for wanting to cancel. Had I not already had Pixel Buds 2 and the Galaxy Watch Active 2, I would've also jumped on the Buds Live + Galaxy Watch 3 deal Samsung has now.

Grats to those that have gotten shipping notifications! I'm a bit sad mine still shows backordered, but I can't wait to get my hands on it when that happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] destardi001:
Update: (Ordered 09/04, AT&T in-store upgrade)

Received Mystic Bronze today about 14:30 EST.

Quick thoughts: Holy cow this thing is freaking awesome. People aren't kidding, the hinge does make it feel like the high end device that it is and it beautiful. The screen is larger, but more square...it lays flatter when opened. The outside screen is much better. Camera is typical Samsung; could always do better, but I wasn't happy with the Samsung S20 Ultra's camera either, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Overall, extremely pleased with this. Wow. But I can't get a case ANYwhere!

I'm sorry for those who are still waiting, but the wait will be worth it at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xavierxxx2p:

I ordered on the 1st and then had to cancel the order because I dropped my Note 10+ and the back of it cracked a bit. I did not want to say it was not cracked so I cancelled the original order and then ordered again on the 10th. When I ordered on the 10th it said expected delivery on the 28th, but now it says it will ship the week of the 25th. Bummer - I hope it is worth the wait.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Everyone's shipment in FedEx Shipping Manager shows "The status will be updated when shipment begins to travel." The arrival for tomorrow, 9/16, is predicated on FedEx receiving the phones from Samsung by whatever time today that allows that delivery timing. If Samsung gets the phones to FedEx late or on another day the delivery date/time will change. So delivery timing isn't official until FedEx adjusts delivery after receiving the phones physically.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] lourock21:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
A crucial step in between generating a shipping label and the phone actually being shipped. Sadly, this step trips up some people if the credit card doesn't authorize and it will delay delivery. It's usually smooth sailing once you get past this point.

This right here, it all depends on when Fedex gets the packages from Samsung. In the past I have even heard of Fedex actually having the packages, but couldn't actually ship till a certain date.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
I have a sinking feeling this is exactly what is going to happen. FedEx showed shipped from yesterday but they are still yet to receive the packages. It's already 12:23pm in Texas I'm betting those idiots won't get my package here until Saturday the 19th.
