Note8 Shipping Thread

I just finished a chat with Samsung about shipping - I was told that people who ordered their Note 8 from Samsung (like me) can expect tracking numbers starting Tuesday... that's when they start shipping. I'm really hopeful that I'm in the first batch, because I have overnight shipping and could have my Note 8 Wednesday! So some of you lucky slugs will get a head start on me!
:D

No budge on UK pre-orders with Samsung, still insisting they will ship on 14th for a 15th delivery!
 
Finallly! I have a tracking number. Oddly, I can't determine which carrier. Who starts with 1Z?

Check your email again, Chief. I ordered after you direct from Sammy. Email came in about an hour ago.
 
Finally, received tracking this morning. Mine is coming directly from Samsung.

I take that back Koki. I just spoke with Samsung directly and she said all packages will be shipped via FedEx. She also said most pre-orders would start receiving tracking today, though it may not update until later or maybe even tomorrow.

That's an interesting change, since Samsung has shipped by FedEx in the past. But really... who cares? We're DAYS AWAY!

FedEx it is! Strange that my tracking number brings up UPS when Google searched. I was shocked at first, as I'm used to Samsung using FedEx as well.

Also, I'm not holding my breath. I remember last year, the Note 7 sat at my local facility for almost a week. ANYTIME this week and I'll be stoked!
 
So the tracking number that Samsung sent me is bogus? It is definitely a UPS tracking number. Not a FedEx number. So strange. Someone got their wires crossed. I'll just be happy to see whichever carrier has my phone pull up with it in hand.
I would've preferred UPS though as our local FedEx driver will knock on the door, shrug, and determine no one is home if the door isn't instantly opened. Bye bye package.
 
Well, they're shipping Note 8s out on 9/5, which is 10 days before release. If they hold true to that, registered Note 7 owners will have theirs shipped first. Gives us about a week head start... I'm just happy I won't have to wait two more weeks!
 
mine is ship to store and wont get tracking info for the first time in 20 frs ordering phones

how many have a case of what ifs and wondering why pre order and wish we waited release day and cancel orders to ease the insane control of others determining when we get devices.

Big surprise to me today as I never expected it on a Sunday but I just got the "It Shipped" emails. Says 2 business days so I guess I should get it sometime on Tuesday. A full 10 days before official release. Pretty cool stuff!
