I preordered on Sept. 2, and my card was charged on the 5th as well! I also saw that same thing about not being charged until it ships. So I went on their live chat twice now, and both times I was told that my expected *delivery* date was 9/8. But now it's 9/7 and still no shipping notification email or anything. ): I am just hoping to get it by the 15th at this point. Anyone else in a similar boat too?? So glad I found this thread about the note 8 on xfinity mobile!
