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

So I check my tracking status this morning, yesterday it says it arrived in Oakland, Ca... this morning, it shows that it went back to the east coast Memphis, TN. wtf! FedEx is weird, I usually ship package with FedEx, and usually they are local delivery, but I don't understand why it has to leave the west coast to the east coast, and back to the west coast... when it just need to cross the bay to hit it destination. Haha!

So, mine shipped from Indianapolis yesterday morning, arrived in Denver, CO later in the afternoon. Now its in Memphis. Dumb thing is, I live in a Denver suburb! WTF?!?! Still have to wait until Tuesday?!?
 
Maby the strange shipping behavior is more than just the central hub maby weather related
 
Ordered yesterday (Sep 9) and got a projected ship date of 'Week of October 8'. Anybody think they'll actually do better than that?

Tell me about it, I live in a San Francisco suburbs and Oakland,CA is only 40 mins away. Lol i actually work in Oakland too, doesn't make sense to go back and forth the country. Lol.
 
Go figures. I bet that going back to Memphis, the plane probably flew over my house to the east coast 😂😂😂

Your case is really very strange. It proves that Samsung system is a mess. What happened with your orders? Are they still showing as not cancelled?

I canceled the orders myself after they told me my orders are denied/canceled or whatever is it.

At this point, I really wanna get back on the phone with TD but they're closed right now, so it's tomorrow.

Odd that it says it, but I doubt yours went to Oakland. Mine left IN at 6pm as well and arrived in TN at 124am. Also, 40 mins from IN to CA would be tough.

The times are local time. So 6:00 would be 3:00PST. Which would be 3h40min. But I agree, I doubt it even arrived here. I think it's probably sending the info to Oakland or something lol.
 
Unlocked Orchid Grey now available at Samsung.com

Noticed a couple days ago that the unlocked Orchid Grey version is available. I didn't see a thread on this & wanted to let everyone know.
 
The new, king of the hill. Received my Sprint Note 8 from Samsung this past September 7th. The green, Alcantara arrived from Amazon this morning. There's no finer cover, in my opinion.

Regarding the micro SD card that is being sent out for those who elected the memory + charger freebie...while the promotion indicated a 128 gb micro SD, I, along with many others, were pleasantly surprised to find a 256 gb card instead.

However, the card is the previous generation instead of the latest generation of memory. Or the same card that was sent as part of the Note 7 preorder promotion.

The latest generation card is indicated with "EVO Plus" and has a max read speed of 100Mb/sec. The card that was sent with my Note states, "EVO +" and has a max read speed of 95 Mb/sec.

Here's hoping everyone receives their preorder shortly. The Note 8 is awesome.

How could this be possible? What is happening with Samsung? Is it the unlocked version? Did you use the Note 7 Promo?

The Sprint version in Midnight Black. Yes, I used the Note 7 promo. Granted my original confirmation email said it will ship on the 11th, so I have one more day before I am justified to get pissed off.
 
Mine shows preorder still, too. I also ordered on the 26th. I'm thinking of canceling and ordering through another channel.

Contact samsung's order team and ask what's the status on your order.

Your order could be canceled like mine and you wouldn't even know it, like they did me.
