T-Mobile: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[AS7Edge]

Most of the time it's a Friday delivery if they are shipping, they could sit there for a week ready to go before they actually ship.

That is why a lot of us on here ordered from Samsung.com because they advertised getting it early and shipping on the 11th with overnight shipping which means the 12th or 13th latest. Doesn't make sense why they would allow Tmobile to ship super early but not allow their orders to be shipped for over a week later.

No, a lot of people ordered from Samsung.com in order to take advantage of the trade in offer. There are many people who are on JoD or who want to order from Tmobile who had Note 7s as well. Not everyone who had a Note 7 is ordering a phone from Samsung.com.

Samsung used the same language with the S8 preorder and many people received their phones after carriers.

The ONLY benefit ordering from Samsung is to get the $425 trade in offer. If you expected earlier shipping, especially what happened with the S8, that was wishful thinking.
Also,they said shipping on 9/11. It's only 8/31.

Typically, they ship on a Monday or Tuesday and deliver on Wednesday or Thursday.

That is still a very fast delivery

I don't understand why people get so mad about other people excitement. This is not a lot of our 1st time pre order. We all know what could happen. Let people be excited that they see progress on their order no need to get mad at them for being excited. At the end of the day it's a phone and we will all have them before the end of September. Let people express their excitement with out being put down by people negativity.

Finally! Mine says shipped also....But it still has an estimated delivery date of the 13-15th...

Hmm let's see what happens

 

[jesskoh]

I think they just mass updated it to shipped

IDK If that was the case, I think everyone's would have been updated to shipped at the same time. Mine just got updated this morning.

 

[Nakrohtap]

You can print all of the labels you want. It won't get updated to shipped until the actual phone is scanned to your label. They will may be upload groups of orders. So, I would assume they get updated in batches throughout the day.

My theory is they do these in large batches dust some people getting updates this morning versus yesterday or the day before

 

[gpatrick15]

Next step, Origin Scans. That's how you know it's real!

I didn't get anything or hear anything like that from Samsung before or after the unveiling until a email a day later so where and when did they advertise that? I said it once and I'll say it again, Being a previous Note 7 owners carry's no weight in this new Note 8. We aren't privileged above all others and aren't entitled to any special treatment. I said in a earlier post that I can't confirm any numbers but I am saying that at least half of us on here were Note 7 owners so it would really be hard to sort out previous Note 7 owners above those who weren't

 

[jesskoh]

Their shipping system is so weird

It's on the page that was linked earlier in the thread. It says 'be the first to own' but that has nothing to do with carriers shipping early. It's in reference to the official launch date.

They used the exact same language with the S8 launch and many people who ordered from carriers had their phones before samsung.com orders. My S8+ from Tmobile arrived 2 days before my S8 from Samsung.com.

Their communication skills can be weird too. Didn't they have any idea that waiting until after preorder started with other carriers before they made their big move would have a huge effect on their offer? I mean maybe that was the idea, that if they wait then they wouldn't get slammed with preorders and have to shell out twice as much money which is what I can't figure out. They lost all that money on the Note 7 and now they are offering every Note 7 owner up to $425 for their phone but half of these people had moved on from the Note 7 and went to another carrier or another phone and now they are buying used phones off of god knows where and trading those in which I think is not fair, that's really fraud but I am sure Samsung has plenty of money so they must want to give away some more and I wonder what they are going to do with all these cell phones when this is all over and done with???? I think we should make a thread on here to see how many traded in with Samsung and exactly how much they got for their trade. That would be interesting.

According to samsung. As former note7 owners we are special and if we ordered through their note7 owners link we should do the first to enjoy. Here it is. Right from the page.
