Thought we would see movement last night. That didn't work out. Admittedly though UPS tracking system is terrible compared to Fed Ex. Sometimes it's take days to update when things move. FedEx has it's issues but their tracking system is to the minute usually. Within seconds after i get a package, i see a notification that it was delivered on a daily basis.

Well this is fun news. I just got off the phone with order fulfillment at Samsung.

She said the order has been received and confirmed though it still shows pre-order on my end. Ordered on the 26th.

"Since it's the unlocked version, it could be anytime between tomorrow and the 25th before shipping."

She said there was nothing else she could do. So much for the note 7 promo ppl who pre-ordered getting their phones early.

This makes me extremely nervous to take the $425 note promo. If they can't keep their word on a simple shipping date, I have a feeling they will have no problem doing something shady with the trade ins.

True, but everything else is worse. I'd take USPS before I'd take FedEx in many situations. The ability to pick up a package at UPS with no delay is alone enough to be glad it's shipping UPS.

Based on everything I've read here, I really think most of us will see the phones the 7th or 8th, depending on shipping speed that was selected.

Hard to pick it up if you're tracking isn't updated until it's delivered.

That's just a theory, I can see how for one or two folks that can happen for some reason. Don't think phones will magically appear when not even a single person has seen a origin scan imo.

That's true, but I've never experienced that with UPS. I've had items delivered before the tracking number worked with USPS quite a few times and with FedEx once, but never with UPS. (Although I fully admit that updates with FedEx are usually the fastest of the bunch.)

I did inquire about my order

 

[Liquid7]

Well it looks like we went from last to be delivered. To almost first to be delivered and now back to last to be delivered. Just reading when Best Buy phones are shipping today with some people's tracking saying tomorrow for delivery. Gotta love the pendulum

WTF is wrong with sammy? Why not just ship the phone? How does this help them by holding it? What is the purpose?

Ordered 8/24 direct from Sammy and got tracking number on Saturday. But still no record of it on UPS website, I imagine just a label was created and phone has not been picked up yet.

"Expected to be arrived"

Yeah, I'm taking slightly less than zero stock in any information contained within that correspondence.

 

[Travis Biggs]

Just got an email from Samsung welcoming me to the trade-in program and reminding me to send in the trade-in. Looks like only a matter of time before we get something in regards to actual shipping.

When did you order?
