Note 8 Unlocked orders - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Has anybody that was given an October 1 expected ship date had one ship out to them yet?
I just ordered in the past couple days and wondering if it will truly take till October

I would also like to know. I have the Oct 1st date. I ordered on August 31st.

I ordered on 9/5 unlocked with note 7 discount still showing Oct 1st date as well.

Would be great if it came early.
My wife ordered hers thru Verizon yesterday and she will have it Monday [emoji20]
I'll have to be jealous for a few weeks. Especially for the 1st week that I'll have to show her how to use it lol

Did you use the Note 7 Promo?

i ordered mine on 9/5. it says it wont ship til october 1st. if thats the case, im just gonna run to best buy on sept 15 and see if they have any unlocked versions in stock and pick it up there. then ill submit it for the sd card and charger through samsung and cancel my preorder from samsung

ordering through Samsung has been a horrible experience. I orders on aug 26th(t mobile variant)...still don't even have a shipping label

But you didn't get 50%+ off and unlocked?

Also, same here.
Preordered black Unlocked N8 Sep1st and nothing. I just got the money back in my account Samsung withdrew Sep1st so idk what the heck that means. Only reason I did direct Samsung order was for the N7 owner promo. Samsung should have prioritized their direct orders instead of carriers. Whatever if I get my N8 In October I'm going to complain. There is absolutely no reason it should take 1 whole month for preorders to be delivered. Either they prepare for product release or they don't. Come on. Not even a status notification.

I pre order Unlocked version on 8/29 with note 7 promo and ship date said week of sept. 25. Only the Wireless Charger was shipped today. The rest still in pre order.

Ordered T-Mobile version from samsung website on 8/26 received on 9/7.

Nope paid full price. Getting the 360 camera though. I didn't see any deals when I preordered midnight when it was first available to pre-order.

I preordered mine on 9/7 direct with Sammy. When I was in checkout, it said will ship 1st Week of October. I am hoping to get a earlier date soon. Going into my order now, there isn't a date listed anywhere.

Ordered unlocked last week with the Note 7 promo, also got a 10/1 ship estimate. My bet is they give a worst case, but the devices will go out before then. Probably not by much, but hopefully we'll all have them by the last week of September.

How is it even possible to pre-order something and not get it at release date? It makes no sense to me and should not be allowed. They should have had it sell out to increase demand rather having people wait almost a month after the phone was released and it is still considered a pre-order. Grinds my gears for those unfortunate ppl who are going through this...
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

I placed my order on 9/4, unlocked, Note 7 Promo, estimated delivery first week of October. I really hope they could deliver before 9/20.

I ordered mine on the first day of pre order from samsung direct and received mine on wednesday last week.

this is ****ing crap. I ordered 8/29 black sprint model so I don't get stuck waiting like all those who ordered carrier unlocked, and here I sit with my order still in ****ing preorder. wtf is the point? I paid in full, no note 7 deal (couldn't find a receipt will take donations) black sprint model and 0 ****ing progress. not confirmed, not shipped, pre auth charge has disappeared, called Samsung twice and all the can tell me is the date on the website. well 3 days left and it hasn't been confirmed. you can bet your ass Sammy will hear from me the second it's technically "late"

For those that ordered the Dev Edtion.. How long did it take to get it?

Just wondering how long it took for the device to be in your hands from the day you ordered it?

Last week, I ordered Tuesday (11/5) night around 9:30pm. Phone was picked up by FedEx on Wednesday (11/6) afternoon, arrived at my house on Friday (11/8).
If it matters, mine is the Verizon Developer Edition.
EDIT: The web site did have a note saying like due to high demand, it may take 7 days to process. But obviously it didn't.
When i ordered demand was "high" and they said it would ship within 7 days.
Once it shipped it took 3 days from Texas to Maryland. VZW also.
3 days, ordered on a Saturday morning.

That's odd. I ordered on the 8th. It shipped on the 11th and will be here tomorrow 13th. They do 2 day shipping. The first one I ordered was shipped the same day but I returned it for the discount.

Did your order status ever change and/or did they send you a tracking number? Ordered mine on the 9th and my order status still says "not shipped". I want my new toy!

I was never able to see my status. I got an email with a tracking number around 10 hours after it was picked up
I ordered 11/6, received it 11/11. On the motorola site, under order history it still has a status of "Not Shipped"
Mine status updated on the website when it shipped and I was mailed the tracking number. Same thing happened for both my orders.
Mine will be here today. Can finally retire the s4 and its cartoon touchwiz interface.

I placed my order on 11 Nov (sunday) and received it on 15 Nov (friday).
I received a "your order had shipped" email late Weds evening.
---
I was a little disappointed w/ the quality of shipping. The phone arrived safe and sound, but the Moto X box was stuffed inside a much larger box with no form of padding or cushioning at all.
I know it's all solid state, but I still didn't like hearing the moto x box sliding around. Not something you want to hear when opening $600 worth of electronics.
Hi!
Do you know if it is possible to make the shipment of Moto X Hold at FedEx location?
I would better go and pick up my shipment at FedEx, than receiveing at my location.
I will be there only at a certain period of time, not before, and not after?
How accurate is the estimated shipping time?
Thanks.

I ordered mine on a Wednesday evening and received it the following Monday. I believe they have plenty on the shelf, at least VZW anyway, as mine came with 4.2.2 on it. To me that would indicate that it was built awhile ago.

Note 8 freebies

Greetings all. I purchased the Note 8 on first U.S. release date. I immediately applied for the free 128gb card and wireless charger from Samsung. just wondering if anyone has received theirs yet or gotten a verified shipping date?
Yes, received them a couple of weeks ago.
I submitted my promo on Sept 19th. It is scheduled for shipping 6-8 weeks from that date.

TMobile charged my credit card! Did it ship?

Hope this is a good sign! it is under pending charges...
What did the terms of your purchase agreement state? Did it state you will be charged once it ships? I've had all my Notes new from when they first have been released, and it has meant very little the date when my bank was charged. I've learned to not keep my hopes up with this stuff.
I purchased it on August 11th so I hope it's good news that my card was just charged today. Who knows of course when it will ship but I'm hopeful to have it Monday, LOL
Just checked my account and it was charged as well. Which in my experience means it will ship in the next few days. Happened with my S7+as well as the S8+
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I have received confirmation from a source that the devices are being shipped out on Monday. Not a day sooner. Some folks will receive in hand on the 21st, others will continue to receive after that day up to actual release day. All pre-orders WILL NOT ship out on the same day.
My card was just charged. When I ordered it from T-Mobile the rep said they wouldn't charge me until it ships. Hopefully I'll have it on Monday.

I am not sure if Monday is realistic but im hopeful as well
I ordered my from T-Mobile on the morning of August 10. My order it now showing shipped, but my tracking # shows "Label created, waiting for pick-up."
I bet it's not a 512GB ?
I ordered my on 8/10, still on Pre-Order status and still waiting for my credit card to be charged.
Mine is the Ocean Blue 512GB Note 9.
Got my tracking number. That's a good step

They'll all get picked up tomorrow. If you paid for overnight shipping, you should receive it by Tuesday or Wednesday depending on where it's being shipped out from.
Funny thing, mine is shipping from Colorado....

LG V40 Pre Order Thread!

Howdy All,
It's time to get the hype train rolling! I thought that I would make a pre-order threat in order to help others track our pre-orders and shipping dates.
The official LG V40 release date is Thursday, October 18. As I understand it TMO will be offering the pre-order on this Friday 10/12/2018.
So first up in the US: The LG V40 Thinq is now available for pre-order from B & H Photo. :highfive: UPDATE - The price has dropped to $749 on B&H website.
Link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1436639-REG/lg_lmv405qa7_ausabk_v40_thinq_64gb_smartphone.html
Details: LG V40 ThinQ 64GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Aurora Black) MFR # LMV405QA7.AUSABK
I was able to place a pre-order for this phone today. I'm taking this route over pre-ordering from T Mobile because I want root ASAP and missed having root when I received the TMO LG V30. That along with the fact that I will get a square trade warranty for the phone makes it a better option. The wallet hurts for a bit but in the long run I'll be happier and less likely to give my phone to my daughter .
I'll be watching as TMO and others officially allow for pre-orders and I'll post the details here for an easy one-stop-shop for pre-orders.
*UPDATE 10/12/2018 - TMO website has LG V40 listed as IN STOCK! Details here: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/lg-v40-thinq
Also, the preorder website is now up. Great preorder goodies! https://lg-promotions.com/us/en/pages/lgv40preorder/home
Just a heads-up that T Mobile website has the LG V40 and is showing IN STOCK as of 2pm EST. I went for unlocked but TMO folks will bet the phone first!

Pre-ordered thru the Sprint website. Comes with a free 256gb microSD and a free phone gimbal?
I'm excited. Paid an extra $10 for overnight shipping. We'll see when it gets here...

Shipping through UPS, scheduled for delivery on Friday. I had selected the free standard shipping when I ordered.
Got notification @831pm CST saying that it has shipped ??
Paid for expedited shipping because I'm hedonistic af.
Should be in hand by 330pm tomorrow. I'll be going into work late so I can get er up and running haha.

Damn, I should've done overnight shipping. I called Sprint yesterday trying to get the shipping speed changed, but the outsourced overseas support agents weren't any help.

In the past I've always had most success contacting my Sprint store directly OR by using the online chat method. YMMV.
Ordered through sprint on drop day. Supposed to be here tomorrow.
It's at my local UPS sorting facility. Super excited for tomorrow!

I'm debating getting one due to that. Sine it's not being sold in Canada this makes it much more appealing because in order to import it i would be required to pay duty on it.

Pre-order receiving date?

For people that pre ordered on Samsung.com that says " shipping by march 8th, does that mean Samsung ships it out by the 8th or we receive our phones on the 8th? Thanks
I was thinking that no later than that date, meaning any time before and up to that date.
When I pre-ordered the S8+ from Samsung it said "Will ship by April 20th" and it arrived on the 19th. I was probably in the first wave to pre-order the S8+, and I assume I was for the S10+ as well. So, depending on how early you pre-ordered, it may be a deliver by date or a ship by date.
Back in my Note 8 days I received my phone 2 weeks before the release date when I pre ordered. Walking into TMobile (my carrier who I ordered from) or Best buy employees always asked how I got it and if it was real. But sadly still no shipping on the new S10+ yet
Sounds good thanks for the clarity guys

I preordered on the day preorders opened.
So here's hoping!
I've done three pre-orders from Samsung US and I've always received them earlier than the receiving date.
With the Note 8, I literally had it a week before it launched in stores.
With the Note 7 and S8 +, it was three days before.
My assumption is that Samsung might start shipping phones this coming Monday, the 4th or Wednesday

Yup.
When it changed to that the day after I preordered and my deposit was paid, I was beside myself with excitement.
That is now tempered with it saying the same thing for 8 days.
Ship date still says 7th March.
Edit:
Soz replied to a question that wasn't aimed at me
mine just says Ships 7th March - so i imagine if the curries doesnt **** up again this time (I wonder who they are using this year) it should arrive Fri 8th - i think is next day delivery - i remember it asked when i ordered if I wanted next day delivery - free or Sat Delivery - which was £15 extra

Thanks. Mine still has the March 15 shipping date, and there has been no update on my order I really hope that I can get the phone by next week.
I ordered on the 21st and my cancel button is now gone. And and says "EXPECTED SHIP DATE -- Will ship by Mar 8th 2019". Even before it was available for pre-order it always said March 8th for me and perhaps the one day difference some are seeing is due to different countries?
