T-Mobile: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[anon(782252)]

30 day jumps are for level entry phones, not the higher end ones.

Nope, 30 day jumps are for any phone.

Correct. Jump! only pertains to the high end phones.

This was the quickest pre order I did. Called at 12:00 am and was done by 12:14 am. No money down but they are charging everyone for shipping for some reason this time. 26 for overnight and 7 for ground.

It is official now I just finished my pre-order of the Note 8 in black with T-Mobile on their Facebook Chat. The only amount I had to pay was $24 for overnight shipping and that will not be charged until the phone ships. If anyone on here like myself has been through this before that actually means you will most likely be charged about a week before the phone physically leaves the warehouse which I'm fine with. $24 is a lot less than I originally expected LOL. Now comes the wait haha

I'm going to be very upset if everyone gets their order at the same time after I paid $24 for shipping.

I have been through pre-orders before just because you pay overnight shipping does not ensure you will get your device first just be prepared for that

I got my thank you for your order email from T-Mobile which is exciting. I was initially told it should deliver between the 13th and 15th which is what I was expecting

Just want to clarify a few things for people here since I seem to be in the know with tmobile.

1st- 30 day jump is for any device, not just low end devices. The new program was announced alongside the budget line of smartphones that tmobile allows you to jump to for 0$ down. Revvl, Lg K20, etc.. The $0 down will only be until August 2018, where after all phones will require a down payment.

2nd- You are not charged anything up front when you have JOD. Not taxes, not down payment, not nothing! You pay shipping in the event that they are not offering free shipping.

3rd-Standard Jump, not JOD, requires a down payment and taxes paid up front usually. Standard jump also is an add on that charges 10$/month on that line. This is a EIP finance that requires 50% of the device be paid off before being able to Jump to a new device. JOD is an 18 month lease in which you can jump at any time every 30 days, used to be 3 times every 18 months.

4th- Paying for expedited shipping for a pre order is a waste of money. All preorders will be shipped out at the same time and at the same shipping speed which is usually 2 day mail. Most of the time we get the phones earlier than release date. In all my years preordering from tmobile I have never once opted for expedited shipping, and I receive my phone 2 days after it ships along with everyone else on these forums who paid the extra money for expedited. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

From every pre-order I've been through, I've never known anyone to get theirs sooner based on the shipping method. People usually end up trying to get their overnight shipping charges refunded.

 

[amyf27]

I know I didn't have to pay for overnight shipping and it doesn't necessarily speed up my order but in my case it just makes me feel better LOL. I've been through the Note 7 the S8 plus pre-order multiple times and I'm happy with my choice

What channel did you use to pre-order? Usually Twitter seems the most painless.

I called into customer care! Checked my account this morning and everything still looks perfect. Got my lease agreement in my account and sent to me in an email over night

 

[DaBlackman619]

Yea I op-ed from the ground and got the text saying I should receive it between the 13th and 15th. If they don't ship early I think overnight will get it on 13th and regular ground will get it the 15th

Order finalized. Started a Twitter DM chat about 5:30 this morning and would have been done by 6:00 or so with the phone call but the gym was more important than the call so I pushed it back. just signed my EIP. Loving the no down payment again (until August 2018 anyway).

And I paid for overnight shipping. Don't have time to play games over $20 if Ground or Express do come later than overnight.

Just ordered through JOD. I went with the middle of the road option and chose $14.99 "expedited shipping," whatever that means.

Well so far this pre-order has been a total **** show for me. Tried at 9 pm when it went live and got to sign the EIP and then click submit order. Then I got an error. Every since then, T-Mobile site displays a system error message when jumping. Been that way all night. Then I called CS and tried doing it over the phone. Got all the way to the end and they were having credit card problems. Called my bank to make sure it wasn’t flagged and it’s good on my banks side. So T-Mobile is having problems. They’ve now told me to go into a store. Every year this happens. I never have a smooth preorder.

Awesome! So, no $20 assistance fee, either?

Pre-ordered through JOD this morning via twitter dm with no issues. The only thing I was dissapointed with were the shipping charges. I never had to pay for shipping when I pre-ordered the last 5 or so devices from them. Oh well, no big deal. Went with the cheapest option even if that means I won't get it on launch day. Not the end of the world. I still wouldn't be surprised if they all get overnighted though. Usually all pre-orders are shipped so that they are delivered on launch day.

Me too.... after 3 screwups....I was up until 3 am getting the order right and confirmed...

Not for me. I used Facebook chat, only paid $24 for freight.
