Developer Edition Backorder Wait Time? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long of a waiting period has everyone typically encountered?

3-4 weeks

*DO NOT* trust Samsung to fulfill your backorder. I had one on backorder from weeks ago. The other day I randomly checked the site and was able to order one that was in stock and it shipped right out the next day. I still see my backorder on the website too...

That's what I meant. Specifically, they don't even let you know that it is back in stock.

Agree with the others...the backorder is meaningless. I have backorders from 10/23 and 11/1 just sitting in my account and I got no notice that anything had changed. When people here mentioned they were having success on Monday I ordered one for real Monday night and got it Wednesday.

Hey guys, I just got my Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition, if you interesting PM me. I play with the phone for about an hour. I'm not keeping it because the phone is too big for me coming from Moto X 2013. I will also throw in a Samsung Wireless Charging Battery Cover. Asking for $770 tax and two business day shipping included.

MobilePhonesDirect - now in stock

Desire description changed to - "THE HTC DESIRE IS NOW IN OUR WAREHOUSE - PLEASE ALLOW 7 DAYS FOR DELIVERY."
If mine's not posted on a next day delivery today then I won't be able to get mine till Wednesday. Fingers crossed.
I reckon they probably don't have them, They offer next day delivery so if they took delivery on the 7th like everyone else (or have it shipped direct from the distributor) they would still be within the 7 days,
All their other handsets just say next day delivery. See the attachment for a laugh
Im not in the UK or I would call them to see if I can pick one up
I ordered with them last week. I might give them a call in a sec.
If it's in stock and I've paid for next day delivery I should get it tomorrow?
I wonder if they're telling porkies to get more orders in?
I'm just in a live chat with them and have just been told they won't have stock 'til tomorrow and to expect delivery next week as planned.
So the claim that they're sat in their warehouse might be a touch ambitious!
i just did live chat with them as well and they are shipping when it is released sim free, so i suspect they do have them in but are not allowed to ship until the 1st but then you have a bank holiday weekend so that would mean next day would still be the 6th as quoted.
I ordered yesterday and emailed them to see if my order would be sent out in the first batch this week, but got a reply saying it would be with me this week.
I think the person who sent email back to me forgot about bloody easter weekend so it will be next week I imagine.
Damn you Jeebus !!!
Also ordered from MPD and spoke to them on live chat. Sounds like they have to abide by the official date and indeed said they'd be shipped 6th/7th.
I concur
Also just spoke to MPD and they say stock comes in tomorrow but they will not start shipping until Tuesday.
I have another T-Mob account (for my son) and received a text on that one saying that the new number is now active. Does that mean they will charge my account from today or when I put the SIM in the phone?
It shows up on my T-Mob on-line portal jobby now.
Tom
i'm also a lil annoyed because i have noticed they are now doing the phone free on £25pm contracts and i paid £6 its not going to break the bank but still if i have to wait and get it the same time its a tad annoying. But yay not long now \m/
Have you contacted them about the price change?
Have you had a whinge to see if they will refund the difference.
With tech you but at one price on day one and half the price a bit later, normallyou to get some quality use time in the gap, but not there!
Tom
Are MobilePhonesDirect phones Sim-Free? If they are:
WHY are their PAYG price and Sim-Free price sooo Different??? (For the desire!)?>

I had the same thing. I expect prices to drop, but not in the space of 2 days. Suffice to say, I sent them an email pointing this out and got told that once I have my phone if I get in touch again, I'll get refunded. Worth emailing them
Inertia
Once you have your phone they are expecting you not to bother.

Now they're saying 3 days for delivery instead of 7...
3 working days. It'll still be around the 6/7th when we receive them.
Anyone had a dispatch email from them yet?
I phoned this morning to make the point that they had them in stock, I'd paid for next day delivery, so I should expect it on Tuesday, right?
I was told that they've got 1000 in stock, 600 pre-orders and are starting on dispatching them today. Some will be going out today and some on Tuesday.
They guy was pretty noncommittal.
The wait is agonising!
I ordered one yesterday from Mobiles.co.uk or something and received it this morning! free special delivery!
but that was on contract..not sure if you guys are talking about payg..

Mine's on contract. tmob.
Price of phone was £5.99 and they've now reduced it to free on that contract
mine has not changed to sent yet and i was in town today and they have them in stock in our tmobile shop ready to sell tomorrow, i was thinking it may be worth a trip down, see if they will match the deal and then cancel the one for mpd. I also had a phone call from vodafone saying they are selling the now (early) but they could not match the price though not far off.

My purchase experience...What about yours?

So I wanted to create a thread where everyone can write bout there purchase experience, whether good or bad..
I purchased mines from Negri Electronics and could not be happier. I recieved her today the packaging was secure and full of surprises. Enclosed was the unit wrapped in a nice bag, a USA wall plug (to compensate for the UK version), an ANDY Android figurine (nice touch) long with a thnk you card from them. The Item shipped Black Friday a day after Thanksgiving, Only because they worked there tails off on Thanksgiving itself to make sure all there units shipped Friday. For that I thank them. I could not have been happier with my choice!
How was your experience, please share

To answer your question about my purchasing experience, it has been good so far. I placed an order with Handtec last Wednesday. If it wasn't for the volume bug I would have received it by Friday. I should have it Tuesday morning at the soonest.

I also ordered "mines" from Negri. It's arriving Wednesday. The experience dealing with them was great so far. Knowing what's in the box (unless I don't get a figure ) is even better! Recommended as well.

The only difficulty was deciding whether or not I should purchase one, since I owned both the N1 and Galaxy S I thought it would be rude not to go for the GNex.
Once I'd decided, it was a matter of popping down the high street during my lunch break to grab one. I was in and out within 5 minutes, so all in all MINES was a rather pleasant experience.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait ... You got a gift bag with your nexus O.O!!
Does every retailer do this or is that just Negri ... omg I want to cancel my Handtec order now and order from those ppl...
On that note: Does anyone know how long it takes Google Checkout to refund your money? (Last time I use that stupid method) .. they took off the money the second I ordered my Nexus, I was under the impression you're not supposed to be charged until your order is shipped out >.>
Ordered Wed from Expansys-USA arrived Friday. Paid for overnight. Quite pleased with the service.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Mixed bag but then I expect no less from Expansys. Phone is here, I'm at work, delivered on time, no issues. I've got a billing issue that I've sent 3 emails in five days, holiday excluded, and no reply.
This fits squarely with my past dealings with Expansys: Product delivered on time as described with crappy customer service.
Got mine from local Phones4U store day after official launch. Went in when it opened to find out they put the sim free price up overnight by £80 to £629 . Didn't buy it.
Phoned head office to complain. They confirmed price increase. I told them about an official phones4u tweet sent earlier in the day that the price would be £549 so they arranged £100 off from local store. Went back and picked it up for £529. Next day, the price went back down to £549.
Bunch of jokers. Only bought from there as didn't want to wait a week for my pre order from clove.

Got mine from Phones4U. It was dreadful from start to finish. To cut a long story short an error in their system for Orange upgrades meant delays. Then delays shipping. It was supposed to come the day after I ordered it but took a week instead; their customer service throughout was dire.
On top of that the "launch" on the 17th was only in one store, and they only told everyone that on the morning of the 17th!
Still, I have it now and love it. Alls well that ends well as they say

Through Expansys-USA, yes. You have to send the phone to them and in-turn they send to the UK for repair. Never had to go that route, but I image it's a long process...
Better than nothing though.
Ugh, it's been a huge fiasco, and I still don't have a phone!
Originally, I ordered last Friday (8 days ago) on Expansys USA for $750. On Saturday (seven days ago), I noticed that handtec would ship to the USA from the UK, it would come out to $50 cheaper, and it looked like it would get here first (at the time handtec seemed very proactive and confident they would ship my order ASAP).
On Saturday I sent a cancellation email to expansys, ordered from handtec, and waited. When Monday came, expansys cancelled my order no problem, and handtec needed all sorts of information (my passport + utility bill) to confirm my address, so my order didn't even get fully processed until Tuesday thanks to time zone differences.
Finally, Tuesday rolled around and they announced they were going to stop shipping because of the bug - I emailed them immediately and asked they send it anyway, they gave me the 24-48hrs BS, and eventually gave me Monday. Bullsh*t.
In the end, if I had kept my Expansys order, I probably would have my GN by now, and I wouldn't be hoping a UK company gets stock they claimed they would have a week ago. At least they upgraded to expedited shipping. .

Today only, daily steals has the silver & white galaxy nexus phone unlocked and brand NEW! I and many other fellow xda members bought the phone last time DailySteals had the phone for sale and I can say that I am very happy with the phone! It came brand new and it works great for my tmobile service! The only problem with DailySteals is that they take awhile to ship the phone, but if you are patient, it will pay off!

I dont remember the exact days but about 2 weeks... Took about a week for them to ship it and about another one after it was shipped. It also matters when you bought it. If you were one of the first to buy it and got into the first batch, you will get it a little bit sooner!
Figures this would happen two days after I finally bite the bullet and just order through Negri after waiting a while for a deal to pop up somewhere.
Oh well, at least I will have it earlier.
Very nice find.
The site offers great deals, but customer service is practically non-existent. Your credit card will be charged immediately when you make a purchase, but the product might not ship for two weeks (which is what happened in my case so it took three weeks in total to get the product to my door). There is no number to call and don’t expect a reply to any emails you send them for two days, if at all. Know that all sales are final, so, if you are in the US and have a problem with a grey market product, which this phone is, you will have to ship it internationally to get it fixed.
Caveat emptor.
On it
I just bought a used one on craigslist last weekend for $500 so when I saw this last night I was a bit pissed off I didn't wait longer. I put a craigslist ad last night for $550 and had someone offer $600 this morning if I delivered it to him (20 mins away). I literally just deposited the money now and ordered this one for $530 brand new....a bit crazy but now I won't be OCD about my phone trying to figure out if any scratches were there before me.
Just pulled the trigger!
geez, I hope nothing goes wrong with my order. Looks like the customer service suck based on the comments.

I've noticed some bad feedback but I've also seen many people have no issues whatsoever. I think it's mostly people who get impatient and don't read the whole taking up to 6 business days to ship thing. Also, a lot of items are specifically stated as refurb where as these are said to be new in retail packaging. I read somewhere using paypal is a good move since you get the buyer protection if the item is broken etc.
My gut feeling says this deal is some cellphone reseller trying to clear it's stock and dailysteals will gather up a bulk orders and order a high volume from them at the end of the 24 hour period. So our money is used first to buy what we ordered and I'm assuming that's why it may take up to 6 business days to ship to us.
I purchased a new open box GN for $529 but returned it once I learned (after contacting Samsung) that the warranty is only valid if the receipt shows it was purchased in the country it will be repaired in. I was surprised as Samsung US never asked for my receipt when I sent my Nexus S in. Bought one from Negri instead so I have a warranty if anything goes wrong in the next 12 months.
i think that most sites like dailysteals and 1saleaday you are paying for the cheap price, not quick shipping and customer service
it sucks to wait and the tracking is usually terrible but the item does arrive eventually
I'd be all over this if I didn't have my extended battery which I need and would kill the white color .

I had not received any updates emails. No wonder the service is bad.
Has anyone received their phone yet or at least see their status updated? Mine still says it's open and I was gonna give them a few more days before I start emailing them. I ordered mine very early in the sale so I hope that I got into the first batch.
All of us that ordered should keep this thread updated so we can hopefully get a rough idea of when we can expect our new phones

They posted it up at 9pm Pacific time and my brother ordered it at 9:15pm. I think he's one of the first to order it, but still hasn't received it yet. I'll keep you guys posted.
Does anyone know anyone who picked one of these up during a previous dailysteal sale?
I'm curious what build this will come with after reading multiple threads on the yakju vs yakjuxx builds.
Just so you know, DailySteals took a LONG time to ship on the first deal and I NEVER got a tracking email. However, I was able to track it by going to UPS's tracking website and using my order number as the reference number. Remember to select "Track by Reference".
The version I got from them was a South Korean model with the Google build on it. However, others reported getting one from China, so it depends what batch you get. I believe everyone I spoke with had the Google build on it.

I would give it 6 business days before you contact them. My status still says open as well (I check it way too much for my own good) but their site said the 6 business day thing with the occasional slight delay depending on the product. I ordered mine at 11am EST so I'm hoping I'll be on the first batch of shipping.
I'm going to try the order number with the UPS site as someone here has mentioned. Let's definitely post on this thread when we see any updates and/or receive our phones to give the rest of us a good idea of when to expect our goodies.

Amazon Preorders?

Anyone have any news on their amazon preorders? I keep checking mine and it's says "not yet shipped" but it has a delivery date of monday. I preordered it when they first became available.
Same here but you got it better.. Mine has a delivery date of tuesday
Same here... I have one day shipping it says for Monday.. I know if you had the free 2 day it shows Tuesday... I also got off phone with them because my neighbor got his yesterday.. And amazon tells me it looks like there is a delay it now says 2 to 5 weeks.... And that is confirmed if you go like you are trying to order today... I hope that is just for new orders
Mine too has a delivery date of Monday and as of 3:30 PM central time it still hasn't shipped.
I got off the phone with them this morning and they said that the "two to five weeks" of delivery time is only for new orders. On their end it looks like things show as being on time so it should either ship out today or even tomorrow. I'm so jealous of everyone that already has theirs. I even already have all my accessories here before the phone is here.
That is funny I ripped them a new one because my neighbor got his yesterday and ordered two days after I did... They told me that all orders were pushed even pre orders... So now I *****ed about the Samsung promo.... They have it set if it does not ship by my date listed I will get a credit for the promo I would have got... Lol after all said and done this only cost me 55 bucks out of pocket lol

That's good news. I really don't want to wait "two to five weeks" for the phone...
I'm kinda curious why amazon couldn't ship out the phones so we could get them today. It almost seems like they had to wait to order the Note 4 until the 17th as well.
I know this if off topic but that nexus 6 is looking good if our notes don't come I might have to switch...

I thought they'd do that as well. When I preordered my PS4 they shipped it a few days early so it was on my doorstep on launch day. They're able to ship things out early so we get them on launch day so I'm also curious as to why they couldn't just do that. It looks like all the carriers have done that too.
Super whack. Mine has a delivery date of Tuesday....
Did you choose the free two day or upgrade to one day.... Mine said Tuesday too until I had them upgrade me to one day for free

Getting mine early? :)

Yes yes, I know they'll probably fix it. Usually Sprint ships them early and UPS tells me the tracking number exists with no delivery date. This time I got all the notifications of a pending delivery tomorrow including the email/order update from sprint saying it's delivering tomorrow.
Anyone else?

Mine (3 phones) shows delivery tomorrow (16th) as well. Fingers crossed!
man screw tmobile. i ordered like an hour after pre-order opened and still its giving me a 23rd ship date. they didn't even pulled the funds from my account yet. smh.
Until you actually see scans (i.e. a physical package moving within the UPS system) then I wouldn't get too excited. Sounds like the label was electronically sent to UPS but your (phone) isn't going to be handed to UPS for another week. That's 168 hours.

In my past experience with Sprint, they would hand them to UPS and UPS was told to hold them until such and such date. Same way apple has always done it.
This year, have the legit sprint order page, UPS, ETC all saying 16th delivery. I'm also less than 2 hours from the sprint warehouse they ship from.
Not saying I will for sure get it, this is just really weird for sprint.
Nah.
Happens with all the phones.
They make the tracking numbers but ups doesnt pick them up until closer to release date.
Been through this for years

sort of...
Past 6 pre-orders not once has Sprint told me my product had shipped until the intended ship date. I knew it shipped early as UPS had tracking, but UPS has ALWAYS picked the package up early and held it. So if that's changed, it's a new practice for Sprint, least for me.
Same thing Apple had done for years. They would ship them early and UPS would hold them sometimes as long as a week before delivering. I think Apple may have stopped though since their packages were obvious and phones were getting out early.
Not to mention I've gotten pre-orders early before. It was actually how I got lucky and got that Samsung bundle of the 256Gb MicroSD and the bluetooth headphones for $100 at the time few years ago. I remember because most of the sprint customers got that deal, most everyone else didn't make it in with a few exceptions. Want to say we had the phone like 3-4 days early that time.
More power to you if you get it early.
But i only heard of a few cases where people did.
I got one phone a day ealry. They ship it with 2day shipping but i live close to the shipping place and got it 1 day early.
But we will see what happens

It might have been the Note 8, hair foggy on all that. I also remember best buy being late by a few days on pre-orders. No one with a best buy pre-order could get the $100 samsung bundle from what I remember. Not a place I'd pre-order from.
I checked another spot it dawned on me to look, UPS's app shows a 16th delivery date, but also list August 21st. Since it's 2 day shipping, the August 21st date would have to be a requested date I imagine. Still going to be earlier than the rest of the carriers I bet

Yeah bestbuy is pretty bad for pre orders. When I worked there we would somehow misplace them only to find them a week later. Sometimes we would receive them but they would sit in our shipping area for days without being scanned in so basically it would show in our system as not in stock. Deliveries were a low priority in our store so even when a customer would show up to pick one up I wasn't able to just scan them in they would have me do something else in the store instead. I highly advise not ordering from them. Those examples are just few of many that would happen. The most extreme examples are breaking them from heavier packages falling on top or actually throwing them into our sorting containers. We return a lot of cellphones for the reason but managers didn't seem to care.
So looks like it's being delivered tomorrow. Still a few days early from what I saw as official release is friday. Got my case in and despite the reviews I saw acting like it was gigantic compared to the Note 9, it's not really that much bigger in physical form. They are nearly identical.

Yeah I went to T-Mobile last week to compare. Can't really tell if they are different or not. Just the screen that's bigger.
Nice. Mines not coming until 18 days after the phones released... ? So much for a "Pre-order".
On my way to pick mine up right now. NZ pre order. Can't wait to play
I've my Note 10+?.
It arrived 5 minutes ago with DHL.
I have ordered it over 1 & 1, Germany
Two of mine will be here in a few hours.. on the truck now... my 3rd will be a bit delayed until next week... all ordered through samsung. The 600 dollar trade in is a no brainer!!!
Just received my Sprint Note 10+ today
