Promo SD Card/Charger Ship Date changed to "6 to 8 Weeks" - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I placed my order for the promotional charger/SD card on 9/5, the day I received my new Note 8 from Verizon. Order status showed "Shipping the week of 9/25." A week or so later, that updated to "Shipping the week of 10/2."
Sometime within the last few days, though (I haven't been checking every day), the status changed to "Shipping in 6 to 8 weeks." Is this true for everyone that ordered a carrier-branded phone?
It's a bit disappointing; I would have figured that being close to the head of the line on the promotion order would've given me a fairly predictable delivery date.

I read that another person who also got that package saw similar lead out times for shipping.
He called/contacted a Sammy rep and they stated the warehouse were out of SD cards, hence the reason for the delay.

They've apparently only been giving away 256GB cards so far ... and the promotion was for a 128GB card. Perhaps this is a sign that they'll be fulfilling all of the promotional orders with 256GB cards?

Maybe they have more orders than expected and run out and as far as I remember most promotions from past always stated allow 6-8 weeks for delivery and end up being 3-4. I didn't even check status of mine and I'm kind of jealous of lucky few who got 256GB instead, but it is after all free giveaway and I think not available outside US.

Originally the offer said 6-8 weeks.

When I submitted my request for the promotion, I was approved within a few seconds and the status on the order, as shown in the Shop Samsung app, indicated the week of 9/25 for shipping.
Now it says 4-6 weeks ... so which was the "original?"

Original promo said 6-8 weeks to receive. I checked the hardcopy the Verizon rep gave me.

I'm pretty sure the "original" I got directly from Samsung is more "original" than the one you got from Verizon ...

In case you tuned in late
Maybe a shortage on the memory card.
One of you should simply call in and ask samsung why the added delay. As I mentioned , someone stated they died just that and was told it was a back order on the Sd card.

Yep, mines said ships oct 8th now its 6-8weeks.
The other promos said the same 6-8wks also, but ship in 2.
I wish it was for them upgrading the card to 256gb. But we will see.

Ordered mine August 29th got my unlocked note 8 and the wireless charger on 12th but no SD card. Originally it said my phone wouldn’t ship till the week of the 25th , can’t find a ship date on my sdcard . Would be nice if it was a 256GB ?

When did everybody's date show up(to ship out)? My status shows approved and the day I did it(9-14-17) but nothing else

I'm in the same boat. Ordered on the 29th. Got both phone and wireless charger on the 12th. Ship date showed the 25th. Memory card still shows as preorder on Samsungs order screen. I'll get it when I get it. Just happy I got the phone.

On Samsung.com under My Offers, just shows mine as "Pending".

Where do you see "my offers" on the Samsung Canada web page? I see the Note 8 offer and it says that it has expired. It does not show any status update?

Mine

I hope it's not 6-8 weeks. That's ridiculous. Rogers forum people are saying average 1-2 weeks. So not sure.

Mine says 6-8 Weeks too.

got update on mine: will ship week of 9/25,

Mine still shows "Preorder". I e-mailed Samsung yesterday morning, haven't heard back yet.

T-mobile Ordering / waiting-list?

[OP] Just realized that questions should not be posted here, can you please move this to the Q&A??
Hi,
Did anyone checked with T-mo about an order wait list or how to pre-register?
I see on the web-site the "The next big thing is almost here" and I did enter my email but this is just for the announcement of availability; not to get onto the waiting list...
Any other info you could gather from T-mo?
Not yet, doesnt appear it will available until after april 10th.
I ordered it on the weekend. It's already been turned over to UPS and should be here on 4/2

I ordered mine 29th. S6Edge 128Gb. UPS shipping confirmed delivery on 4/3
I ordered the S6 Black 128GB, its back ordered. Tmobile screwed up the JUMP upgrade on Saturday which was showing backordered even then, Monday I went in to check and it was not JUMPed and they made me cancel the order and basically go to the back of the line. Backordered of course as expected at this point.

I ordered on 29th. Jump Program. Used standard ground shipping. Came here on April 3rd. 128Gb S6 Edge Sapphire. As for promos, after you get the phone you got to:
HTTPS://Samsungpromotions.com/Netflix
The site asks for your IME and Mac WiFi address that is in your settings:about phone. Plug in the numbers. You get a code and you go to Netflix web site and plug in the coupon code. If you already belong to Netflix they will give you credit to your account. Simple. No E-Mails to deal with.
I believe this is offered till April 14th according to TMobile customer svc rep that gave me direct Samsung web site info. That site links to Netflix web site.

(Sprint now Shipping) Has your Note5 shipped yet?

Has anyone had their order shipped out yet? Sprint stated they would start shipments today.
Edit: Received shipping notification at 5:22 PM
nope no email as of yet...i don't think they will start shipping until Monday..so once you get it, it will be closer to the actual release date.
They told me it would ship out around the 18th
"Your order for the Samsung Note 5 64GB Black has been received. For pre-orders placed through 4:00 PM CST on 8/18/15, we will deliver in 3 to 5 business days from the date of the order.

At least you guys were able to get your orders in. It trying to get mew to change my data plan which I do not want to do. Trying to order the Galaxy Tab 4 and it wants me to select a data plan. Hopefully the person I am chatting with will get it sorted for me.
My order shipped at 5pm EST today (friday the 14th) via UPS. I ordered on the 13th around 6:30 pm.

Same, 64gb Black.
I placed an order at 5pm PST on Thursday, 8/13/15, since the Sprint website said pre-orders being shipping on 8/14. My current status is still "waiting at the warehouse to be processed". At 5pm today, Customer Service Live Chat said that my order will be shipped by the end of the day because almost all of the pre-orders were practically ready for shipment at the warehouse. A few hours later, my status hadn't changed, so I contacted them again at 8pm. He then stated that it should now ship this weekend.
*Update:
At 11pm last night, I received an email saying that it shipped through UPS. The Sprint site says that it shipped and supplied a UPS tracking number, but the UPS site says that it's just "ready for UPS" and does not provide an estimated arrival date other than 2-day air.
This time its Sprint first. Last year, T-mobile users get their N4 first.
i'm not on Sprint, but FedEx tracking shows my wife's ATT Note 5 is scheduled for delivery on Monday, August 17th... surprised it's shipping that soon.
ATT also. Tuesday arrival. gonna miss my SD slot. but gonna love the phone no matter the difference

I ordered mine (black, 64GB) early in the morning of the 13th. My order status still shows no activity, just the 3-5 business days message. Live chat has been unavailable for the last several hours. They didn't waste any time billing my credit card, though. Looks like I'm snafu'ed.
Arrived early this morning
I Love Sprint.

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.

Anyone ordered from Flipkart and what's your delivery date?

Anyone ordered from Flipkart and what's your delivery date?
I placed the pre-order through flipkart and my estimated delivery date is on 10th Oct. Seems like the sale starts only on 8th Oct.
Same here. I just can't wait to have this beast in my hands. Ah, the long wait is killing me..
When will the 512 gb model ill able to buy? Does anyone knows? No information regarding the 512 gb version on anywhere.
Mine is 10th Oct as well.
I don't know how but luckily I got the phone in first sale. I checked Flipkart at 12.01AM and the phone was showing out of stock.
I thought it's Flipkart's bug. Then couple of minutes later, it showed PreOrder button. I clicked and before I could reach payment, it was out of stock.
At this moment I thought I'll have to wait for next sale. But I opened my laptop for last chance and kept refreshing the page. I saw the phone a couple of times in stock again(preorder), but same thing happened(before finishing payment, it was out of stock).
I told myself that ill just check tomorrow morning because I didn't expect this phone to go out of stock that easily, but I underestimated the number of people buying this phone (or overestimated the stock Asus has )
Still I thought ill give this a last chance and kept refreshing, and around 12.24AM, I saw it again in stock, and completed my payment.
I also had a riding helmet of 2k in my cart which I wanted to buy. So I got total of 4k discount on cart value of 40k using ICICI card. So overall I got the phone for around 34.2k which is a great deal I think.
Asus has not actually announced next sale date. They just have said that the phone will be released(shipped) on 8th Oct. Gadgets360 confirmed this from Asus(check their article), so not sure when is the next sale going to be and same is the case with 12GB variant.

I thought the same but I saw another offer which said if your cart total is 40k then you get discount of another 2k (separate than the 10% maxed at 2k). So total of 4k.
Phone was anyways of 38k, so I just added another item that I wanted to buy anyways. Got total cart of 40k and total discount of 4k on that.

I preordered the phone in Flipkart yesterday. The site shows tentatively shipped by 12th. The mail i received mentions will be shipped by 12 oct. I didn't realise the additional 2k discount when cart value is 40k and missed the opportunity

tmobile 7t pro 5g, available for preorder

I ordered my this morning!
The price is good, but my primary worry is that this phone won't have factory images available or be safe to root even if the bootloader gets unlocked after a sim unlock.
I also wouldn't expect any ability to convert to an international firmware even if the modem portions are retained.

T-Mobile chat told me they aren't leaving the warehouse until Friday. I think he's wrong, as all other preorders deliver by launch date, but I haven't seen any movement yet.

I even paid extra for expedited shipping. It will suck to watch people walk out of the store with them on Friday while I wait till the middle of next week...
First Pre orders should be shipping out Thursday and delivered Friday on launch day. Check your bank account. TMobile will charge your card once your phone is ready to ship out. My card was charged a few hrs ago and pre order was placed on the first day.

When they ship it to you the IMEI for that phone is assigned to your account. They won't let you check out another device until you receive the first one. It's a hassle. I paid for next day
UPS shipping notification, delivery Friday. Excited about this McLaren addition.
I ordered mine on Tuesday evening via T-Mobile help on Twitter. Even transferred money into my account in case it charged early. My card was charged late on the 3rd and transaction was completed on the 4th. Hopefully I will get an update from UPS later today and so get the email update from T-Mobile with my imei. My order is a JOD upgrade. I got overnight shipping. I would have went into a store but I have to work 10-8 tomorrow do I can't get to a store.
I sure hope they ship them out tonight.
Edit: I just checked my UPS app and it is showing.

Mine says 10:45 am to 1:45 pm. Good thing my wife works from home. She's even going to work in the living room so she can see the driver when he/she comes up on the porch. 99.9% of the time, they arrive sometime closer to 6 or 7 or later.
My daughter's iPhone on Halloween last year was supposed to arrive by 1:30, it got delivered at almost 9pm. I'm not paying $8 for the 2 hour delivery window, that from everything I have read and heard, also gets missed.
Once it arrives, I will be impatiently waiting for time to clock out and get home.
I really, really want this phone but the high chance of not being able to flash the international firmware is why I'm not going to do it.
I love my TMo to International OP7 Pro
