Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[smooth4lyfe]

still no updates this is nuts and the rep I spoke to told me my 2 were for sure shipped lol right

I doubt the reps know much about this. I just spoke to a rep a few min ago and was told my status hasn't updated because the phones were still in the warehouse and would update once it ships. I wish they would at least charge my bank account they haven't even done that

If I have to leave friday and I'm gone will UPS still try to deliver during mandatory evac? the euro model most reliable forecast model basically has a cat5 hitting just to my south by about 30 miles. my house will not even be standing due to surge if this is the case.

Do you really seriously wonder if UPS will deliver during a mandatory evacuation? Give me a break.

I ordered on 8/29 (Note7 TradeIn Preorder) a T-Mobile Note8 & Gear 360 and both are still showing "Preorder".

Unbelievable how some people prirotize worrying about phone delivery over a hurricane .... Can never understand.

FedEx is in the doghouse with me. I have a webcam pointed at my front door, so I can know when someone shows up there. For a different package, they claimed they delivered it, but I know they didn't.

There have been times that FedEx doesn't leave stuff at the door/porch (where it's protected from view and wind/rain), and instead just toss stuff in front of the garage, out in the open. UPS and USPS never do that.

I don't think that was his intention to prioritize his phone over the hurricane. Shoot if I was in his position I would want my phone before the hurricane hits to otherwise he may have to wait a month just to get his phone. Atleast he would be able to mess with it at the evac center or wherever he would need to go

If there is an evacuation, no one is delivering anything because they will have evacuated. UPS drivers are people too.

Yes, Sammy will take a Note5 as a trade in. Giving value of $300.00 as long as its working & no damage to device or screen.

Did they tell you $300?

Did they tell you $300?

I ordered mine on Sep 1st, no movement yet. My original delivery date said 9/21 which is a date I will be on a cruise (I knew this when I ordered and planned to have my mail held) but am now somewhat hopeful to have it before my cruise that I am leaving for on the 15th. Samsung says it's still technically backordered though so not getting my hopes up. Hoping the 360 camera comes soon though.

After I returned my GN7, I went back to my old GN4. At the start of August, it started crashing and freezing, so I had to buy one of the pos REVVL phones from TMo in the interim. I know your pain!

You request that we basically not make a big deal until there is a big deal, but then you make a big deal about some of our comments, which you say, are repetitive and are essentially, not a big deal. You're just on a different wheel attached to the same car.

I'm not making a request, nor is a phone a "big deal" to me. Now we're worried the phone won't come because of a tornado?? Lol wow. Just saying, sounds like anxiety for a lot of folks here I guess. Go help people evacuate or something. Oh well have at it.

Yeah, if you're evacuated, you can bet they don't want employees around there! If nothing else, trust that they don't want a lawsuit from an injured employee, OR something swept away after it WAS delivered.

No disrespect but this is a tech site, not CNN. The peeps here get excited about device launches and this has nothing to do with the hurricane.

Now if we were posting these in the comments on a news story about the hurricane, that would be weird and distasteful.

But it's not, so don't give people a hard time about what this site is aboout. Let them enjoy the excitment surrounding a big launch like this.

 

[Travis Biggs]

My father has his in hand. Maybe I should have ordered from Verizon. On the flipside, now he has to go through the process of signing up for the promotion rather than having it immediately.

Yeah you are right !!

I'm guilty as well for being excited for phone releases so probably can't blame others.. Just got influenced by external factors.

Now where's my device Samsung

 

[cnotes2016]

Does anyone know the lte bands for the unlocked one? Thanks

 

[Blues Fan]

Blue's Fan, I suggest contacting UPS and telling them to hold it.

I don't even have a shipping label yet so I can't do much. I might have to leave by friday. They are really getting freaked out about getting people out of here.

No worries. For me, that's why I love sites like this because they allow us to be dorky kids again and get excited about tech without sweating the normally intense world in which we live. Geeky escapism! Woohoo!

Have fun with the launch and hope you get your phone soon. I'm looking at mid next week, I think. wah wah
