It doesn't look like it has even left Memphis from this, have you seen any movement?

Nah it shows no movement. It just seems to be moving around in the Memphis facility. However, Friday when I checked I didn't have any deliveries showing. But as you can see the FedEx shipping info started Friday. I didn't receive this tracking info until Saturday night. So the FedEx updates seem to be behind.

Im not sure but I do hope it arrives on Tuesday. My thought is Samsung told the carriers to go ahead and ship them early
It looks like one person on here has seen shipment. Although their BB order status does not reflect that

Yea I did the same thing, I pre-ordered on the first day and was set up for in store pick up. All these other carriers with tracking saying they are getting their phones next week makes me wonder if BB will get them and sit on them until the 15th or so. My local best buy said they are going to set people up to come in to get the phones at set times so they don't have everyone show up at once.

I don't think BB will hold the phones past 9/5 (if they have them). I believe Samsung would like to get as many N8's into the hands of their customers BEFORE 9/12 (iPhone day). If they have them, they'll start shipping them. I'm not sure what they'll do for in-store P/U. I assume they'll start getting those done as well. I'm sure BB wouldn't mind having as much of this out of the way prior to the regular release date of N*, and the relese of the new iPhone. Those two releases could be basically the same day. That would be a big mess for BB. SO, I hope to see movement come 9/5. I believe this is why many of the carriers are shipping N8 asap as well.
Logistics. There are a lot of phones and a few people on the other side to help you with them. They will get them out and so long as they are pre-ordered and in hands by 9/15 they have fulfilled their promise. In retail, and other businesses, it is called.. under promise, and over perform. In short, fewer people are unhappy about getting them early, than would be unhappy getting them late.
So.... I didn't preorder immediately and now Best Buy says that the order is expected to ship on the 29th.....
Wouldn't it be better to just buy in store on the 15th if that's the case?
Even Samsung's website says week of October 1st. Yikes!

I live in middle Tennessee. Well, my Aug.24 preorder set in Memphis for a day or two. Then, last night it went right past me to East Tennessee! Next stop....Louisville? Atlanta? Los Angeles? Sparta?

That's what I'm 'hoping' Every Verizon rep ASSURED me that if my Note 5 isn't cracked or water damaged, I will get the $480. I fully trust them..
I will today but Best Buy notified me of that when I added it to my cart.
