Good experience. Ordered ATT version from BestBuy. It was delivered to me in three days after placing my order.
 
Ordered through Verizon. Excellent experience. It was my first time pre-ordering so I was a little nervous, especially considering Verizon's hit or miss customer service reputation.
 
Always pre order for the freebies. Had a good experience with Verizon got my N8 on the 5th. Even got one of my gifts (360 cam)3 days later.
 
Great experience with pre-order from Samsung. I received my Note 8 on September 7th, 1 week earlier that expected.
 
What would be interesting is to see out of the negative experiences, which ones were affected by the hurricanes.
 
Ordered on TMobile Sept 2nd, was expecting to receive it Sept 13 to 15th. I don't recall which carrier started shipping early, but that started the avalanche and I actually got in on the 8th.
 
finally got through to someone. we're sorry we cannot hello you with that we have to transfer you. they close at 6 pm Eastern Time. please call tomorrow morning
I'm on the west side

Their hold music should qualify anyone that has to listen for more than ten minutes a free gift card that gets larger the longer we have to listen.

Pre-Ordered the Note 8 with Best Buy on Tuesday night, got it Thursday morning with pick-up option with UPS :-) Very quick turnaround and easiest phone pre-order ever!
 
Generally satisfied. Would have loved to have been among those who got their phones early, but in the end I got exactly what was expected (in store BB pick up on release day).
 
Experience was pretty good. ordered on the 24th and got the phone on the 7th.
 
Pre-ordered with VZW. Had a glitch with the return box for the $480 bill credit, that order was cancelled somehow. Had to call and get the return box reordered. VZW agent assured that the $480 credit would still go through. Return of my S7edge was received this week in Fort Worth, TX. However return credit shows only $175 according to delivery confirmation email from VZW. I know it will take 1-2 bill cycles for the credit to show through so will wait before I call. Otherwise it was an ok process.
