Has anyone had any luck getting a Note 5 shipped? - Verizon Note 7 Questions & Answers

After giving up my second Note 7 (they sent 3 more boxes after I returned it just to be sure!)
I got a S7 Edge, and I hate it.
I ordered a 64GB black Note 7 on Oct 17 and Im still waiting for it to ship.
I knew it said ships by Nov 15, but this is driving me crazy! I definitely hate this phone and waiting for this N5 is making me check every day hoping that they ship!
They are giving a $100 credit for ordering the N5 but they will not apply it to my order, instead they say I have to cancel the order and place it again. The last delivery date for the N5 64GB was Dec 21, and now they dont even offer it at all!
They are charging more for this phone than the S7E (which I got for $50 after an instant credit) at $399.00. Considering that this is last years phone, and with all the hassle they put us through with the N7's mess they really should give us a better price.
I only wish they were a little better with the communication during the extensive delay in shipping.

[Q] amazon prime order of Note 4 (Verizon)

Pre-ordered on Amazon Prime 9/23/14. Still has not shipped. Any one who has ordered from Amazon in the same boat??
Same here. and i have my estimated delivery for tomorrow.
Yesterday I received a notice that they have not received their shipment and it would be delayed. They did not give a time frame when it would ship but said they would ship one day (which I selected) and gave me $20.00 credit. Just an FYI I ordered the white one on 10/7 and my ETA is still listed as 10/24....
Amazon Pre Order
Was on the Amazon forums for the verizon galaxy note 4 and saw that one person talked to a Amazon rep today who told him that the phones are being packaged right now. Don't know how true that is but I will be calling myself within the next hour or so
Same boat here. Not shipped and not charged. Still says estimated 10/24

I hate to say it but, if it hasn't shipped yet, we're not getting it tomorrow.

That was me. Ordered a black on Oct 6th. I talked to 2 different reps on 2 different days and both told me it would be delivered the 24th. Neither said the phone delivery was gonna be delayed. Although maybe they are telling that to people they oversold to.
As of now i have not received a shipping notification.

Just got off chat with Amazon. Much back and forth about pre-order, I still don't think she understood that whole concept. I preordered on Day 1 - Sep 19, and Amazon is now telling me mine won't be delivered until December. Tempted to post the transcript. It's an embarrassment for Amazon IMO.
My order status still says delivery tomorrow by 8PM., but of course it has not shipped. May just go local, but I'm pretty peeved...what's the point of pre-ordering from the biggest online retailer if they are last in line -- and don't tell you this to keep you from buying somewhere else?
I opted for the free 2 day shipping, so my estimated arrival is on Monday, but there is no updates to my order either. I hope Amazon doesn't screw me over, I already waited patiently with the whole Verizon BS of delaying the Note 4 when every other carrier had it on release day.
I just spoke to a live customer service representative and still have no concrete answer as to what is happening with this order. Really starting to get angry. First I was told that they were out of stock for the galaxy note 4. I explained to him that I understand that the phone is out of stock as of a couple days ago but it was not when I ordered on the 10th of October. He then went on to repeat himself word for word about how the phone is out of stock. This is when I started to get really annoyed because it just seemed like he was giving me the run around. As he was explaining this to me I cut him off and told him that "I understand what you are saying about the phone being out of stock now, but that should have no effect on my pre order since it was in stock when I ordered on the 10th of October. Why would I even bother pre ordering a phone that was out of stock when I could just walk into a store and buy it today. I pre-ordered the phone well over a month ago, it was in stock, I was quoted an estimated delivery time, and at no point have I received any email or text notifications telling me otherwise. What I want to know is where is my phone?" He then tells me that he is going to check into it and puts me on hold. When he came back on I was told, he again starts telling me about how I will receive a notification once the phone ships to which I reply "Well when is it going to ship. Today, tomorrow, next month, or maybe next year? The whole point of me calling you is to find out what is happening with my order and you are telling me absolutely nothing". He then asks if I want to cancel the order. I told him he can cancel the order if he gets me a refund on the $600 worth of Amazon gift cards I have credited to my account. He replies by telling me that he is going to put me on hold so he can see what my options are.
When he came back he told me that he would wave the same day delivery fee and then tells me that the orders are being processed now. I asked again when it will be delivered but could not get a straight answer out of him. Supposedly he is sending me an email regarding the conversation we had (its been about 20 min. no email) . So essentially from what I gather is that no one, and I mean absolutely no one at Amazon has any idea what is happening with these orders and that the guy I was talking to was just trying to pacify me by telling me the orders are currently being processed (I do not believe that at all). As of now it just seems like anyone who pre-ordered the phone through Amazon might just be better off calling your local Verizon or Best Buy stores seeing if they have any in stock, cancel your supposed "pre order" and just by in store. What a pain.
If I didn't have Amazon gift cards I would definitely cancel my order.
Looks like both reps I talked to before today were clueless (as I suspected). Below is what I received in an email this morning.
"Hello,
We're still trying to obtain the following item you ordered on October 06, 2014 (Order#xxxxxx).
"Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Charcoal Black 32GB (Verizon Wireless)"
Still want it? We'll keep on trying. To keep your order for this item open, please click the link below. Otherwise, we'll cancel your order on November 23, 2014, if we haven't located it by then."
I'm irritated it took until delivery day to notify me of this and I already traded in a smartphone to Amazon to get the $200 Samsung promo.

Got the same email this morning after talking with Amazon last night. Last night they said it could still ship by midnight and delivery would be today - "could" being the operative word. Today I got the email, and on the phone they said they had NO delivery information and that they had not received their shipment. The problem now appears to be that if you cancel and get it from somewhere else (I did confirm Verizon has black and stock and can ship immediately), you will lose your pre-order trade-in guarantee ($200) from Samsung.
I'm very unhappy with Samsung, Verizon and Amazon - mostly Amazon for their lack of communication. There is no way they couldn't know this before the ship date, and their communication has been dismal at best.
Just cancelled by Amazon order of the Note 4. Called first thing this morning they advised they did not get their shipment and they could not tell me when they are expecting their shipment. Not real pleased with Amazon at this point. Getting ready to go out and hunt this phone down!!!
Got a response from Amazon for an email I sent them today regarding this. They didn't seem to really care about screwing things up and also stated the Samsung offer is not currently honored by Amazon. I know Samsung has recently changed the promo terms and conditions and added the other Galaxy phones to the promo. I no longer see Amazon listed or even a list of accepted retailers. Maybe it's a good thing the phone didn't ship because I was really only getting this phone because of the promo. Amazons communication and resolution to this issue has been terrible.

Customer service couldn't give me any estimate of when they will get the phones in. I was pissed off because at the very least if they communicated this to us early, then I could have preordered elsewhere. Now I'm stuck due to the promo as I did the pre-order and also the trade-in through amazon. Plus I used a bunch of gift cards on it.
Cancelled my order with Amazon and went to local VZW store, Note 4 in hand right now.
I too will never order phones from them again. I'm a prime member and place about 100 orders per year with them. It would take drastic measures to regain my confidence in them when it comes to preorders and purchasing phones.

I am in the exact boat you are. They already took my trade in so I can't do the non- preorder option. If I cancel my order now I get neither promotion.
They gave me a December estimate but told me that it was more likely to be early November. Still too long! I ordered on 9/25...it was not listed as "out of stock" at that time.
Same situation here. I am a long-time, and very loyal Amazon customer, but I am absolutely furious over the situation with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 pre-order. I pre-ordered this phone (black) on 27 Sep. Until today at 4 AM they still indicated it would be shipped today w/ estimated arrival of 27 Oct. My current phone is broken, so I chatted with Amazon customer service early this AM to see if I could get my delivery changed to 1-day. The nice lady on customer service said no problem, and even as a one-time exception upgraded me to 1-day shipping for free. Five minutes later, my estimated delivery date changed from 27 Oct to 9 December!! I pre-ordered to take advantage of Samsung's $200 rebate promotion for trade-ins. I can no longer cancel this order and take advantage of that offer at another retailer because the promotion ended on the day the phone was officially released. If they don't ship until 9 Dec I can't even meet the deadline for the pre-order paperwork and won't get the $200 promotion. I'm now stuck with a non-working cell phone waiting indefinitely for them to ship my pre-order. I spoke to multiple customer service agents on the phone (1.5 hours on phone, and hung-up on by one agent during a transfer), including two supervisors, with no resolution and no offer to do anything whatsoever to improve the situation. This lack of communication and disregard for customers is completely unacceptable. BBB / FTC complaints are on their way.

Yikes on the trade-in. Fortunately I haven't done mine yet. Amazon has really dropped it on this one. I told one of the customer service people that Amazon was big enough to get answers from Samsung and Verizon, and that to have hardly any information was unacceptable.

I talked with 4 people and spent a couple of hours on the phone - didn't net me much. After a time, one rep offered me $10 for my trouble, which really ticked me off. I sent him a link here to see the issues people were having, and that Amazon had already refunded someone else $20. I told him I didn't want the money - just answers.
Anyway, after feeling the futility with Amazon, I called Verizon who has them in stock, ready to go, and is giving the $200 trade-in on any smartphone (if you haven't traded it in yet). You can pick them up at most of the stores, or they can ship overnight. Same price, same trade-in, no headaches.
Update... Expected delivery on 10/28!

New lower prices Find 7 and Find 7a

I've wanted this phone for the longest time.
So, last Friday I was expecting delivery of a Note 4. I had gotten a killer deal @ $599 flat I get an email, that morning, from oppostyle, telling me the phone is now available in the US at a savings of $250 off. I know he phone is now a little bit older, but it is the one I had really lusted after. I had watched pre-release and then afterwards, dismayed it hadn't been released for the US market. With the price drop the phone is very attractive.
Anyway, I ditched the Note 4 and the Spigen case I'd bought for it, at my full cost and have ordered the Oppo 7.
Can't wait to get it.
New prices $499 and $399.
The oppostyle website is where they're available.
Did you get any notification regarding shipping? I just ordered mine today. I have a note 4 and I can't wait any longer for a root. It's never going to happen on the AT&T Note 4

Yes, ordered it on the 12th, came in today, the 18th.
Well, things happened really quickly once they got moving. But very little notice in between.
I ordered Thursday, 3-12-2015, and I got a notice saying they'd received my payment and order, and that they'd post a tracking # once it was available.
But things kinda "went dark" til late Monday, or so. Then yesterday I get a text message, from DHL, saying delivery was anticipated for today.

I'm setting it up for T-Mobile. Slapped the SIM from my Galaxy S3 and my 64gig mSDXC in there, put it in the case, put the battery in and voila.
The case that comes with it replaces the back cover ( put it away in a nice safe place you'll remember ). The phone walks you right through setup. Then just log into your Google account. Easy. Once I was setup, the phone let me know that there was an update available for the ColorOS and I went ahead and did that.
Oppo does a hell of a job packaging the phone. Very meticulous.
Going to be getting a different case than what comes with it, though. The flip style deal doesn't work real well for me, as the phone has to stay in my pants pockets. Still it is kind of cool. The installed screen protector is well fit, to the phone (kind of), but is of low quality. They include a different screen protector in it's own packaging and I'll be putting that on tomorrow. However, I'll be ordering a tempered glass one along with the different case, shortly.
Slim pickings for that, as they don't have the market saturation that iphones and Samsung devices do; so there is not as much monetary incentive to put a lot of 3rd party stuff out there. The choice of cases available is very limited.
Hope that helps.
-Scott
Great, Thanks for all of that. I actually checked back on their website and its marked as shipped. even though I didn't get an email regarding that yet. I have also ordered a tempered glass from amazon. My main goal is to get my Wifi Tether going on this phone. As I couldn't do that on my Note 4 because of no root options and to use Titanium Backup again. Enjoy your phone bro and thanks again.

Nope the us doesn't have import taxes. I picked up a nice used one not Long ago and really like mine. And I've owned a one plus one before and this is much nicer. Its a real nice phone. But I think this is a better deal then the one plus one.

S6 Owner Discussion Thread

The only problem is that the 64 GB S6 and the 32 GB S6 Edge are the same exact price. While the 32 GB S6 is $120 cheaper than the 32 GB S6 Edge. Decisions!!
Title Note: Mod changed to allow this to continue as a owner thread. This should include preorders and normal orders afterwards.

Just placed my order for a 64GB Black S6.
I'm supposed to get it on 4/10. We'll see.
Now I need to decide which case to get. I really like my otterbox commuter, but I'll need to weight that against the spigen cases. And also really hoping Spigen decides to make a glasr for the s6.
**UPDATE**
I cancelled my original pre-order made on the 28th. I then replaced my order on the 5th. My order is pending just like the first one was.
** 2nd UPDATE** Still getting it tomorrow, the 8th.

Ordered the edge gold 64. 2-3 weeks to ship ?
Im waiting for morphie case to be released
Welp I ordered mine yesterday afternoon through bestbuy. First 65000 to preorder with them gets a free wireless charging dock. Sucks only 3 colors are available to preorder. I was really looking forward to the emerald green. :/
I preordered a black 64gb s6 at the local sprint store Friday. I would have done it at best buy but I have a corporate account and best buy couldn't do the order. Have you heard tmobile preorders are getting shipped out now and will be arriving at the users houses this week? I hope sprint wants to ship them out sooner too.
just as i said would happen.. only black and white available... probably not sprints fault, but samsung and their over-market, never deliver B.S.. as usual. probably won't be able to get one of their over-marketed colors until 3 months later.
after seeing the prices i will wait a few months for prices to plummet. the 64Gb edge is $400 with 2 year contract lol. fking samsung think they can sell prices the same as apple does. like seriously, $100 more for the Edge.. i bet it cost them practically the same to manufacture. what a markup.. I want the Non-Gimmick Edge anyway. $199 for 32GB w/2 years agreement, $350 for 64Gb with 2 yrs. $150 more for 32gb space.. no wonder they wanted to get rid of SD cards..
pricing is not right. the S6 32gb is $199 for 64gb its $350... S6 Edge 32gb is $300, for 64GB its $400.. basically the 32GB to 64GB S6 cost $50 more than the edge version. such BS.
I am struggling with the 64GB edge or the 128GB regular S6.
both are $400 on contract.... YUCK.

They have to recoup the R&D costs for the edge. But I'm with you on the colors. I was ready to buy a Nexus 6 64GB in white. If only sprint would have actually offered one. I really wanted the blue or green one but ordered black instead.
I ordered my 64 G s6 in black. I really liked the gold platinum but it is not aviable in sprint for now.

On release day after work, I'm marching to the nearest Sprint store to pay off what's left of my S5 and then grab an S6.... I'm so torn on the color though. I figured I would get black, and then buy a green back off ebay or whatever when they're available and switch that out. The white on the camera lens kills the white color option for me.

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

Question T-mobile Fold 3 Pre-order Backorder

Has anyone who pre ordered through T-Mobile with the backorder gotten their phone shipped or received shipping info yet?
I pre ordered kind of late on August 24th, and got notified that it would be backordered with a delivery date of 9/16-10/7, but I'm worried that the shipping estimate may actually end up being in October.
I am on T-Mobile as well, but I ordered through Samsung direct and mine was supposed to be here on 09/14, but it slipped to 09/21 and it looks like it is going to slip again as it has not shipped yet.
I wonder if buying the Unlocked one would have been faster?

Yeah I thought about going the unlocked route as well, but after seeing the issues with activation some people were having I backed off of it. Hopefully we'll get ours before October.
I didn't pre-order due to another issue. I did order on the 2nd and received mine on the 3rd. I got phantom black 256 GB. I know the other colors where on backorder.
I just got off the phone with Samsung, it looks like it will be here on or around the 21st (not telling with FedEx (I HATE FEDEX))...
Im having same issue with samsungs galaxy watch 4. I ordered it weeks ago and the app says will ship week of Sept 13th and then on the website says will arrive by Oct 10th.

The answer is yes. I ordered unlocked through Samsung on 4SEP (USA, 256GB, Black), and mine will be delivered tomorrow.
I ordered two ZF3s about two weeks ago. My T-Mobile order status still says its being processed with a ship date of 9/9-9/13. I wonder when it will ACTUALLY ship.

Smh. I spoke with one of the Tmobile reps on Twitter, and they told me the same thing that shows on my account - estimated delivery date of 9/17 to 10/7. T-Mobile has been dropping the ball on pre orders for the last few years.

Disagree. Last few years? T-Mobile almost always has my annual preorders delivered to me before Samsung's official release dates. This year I got the Watch4 Classic nearly a week before release and the ZF3 on the day of release.
Yikes, glad I never ordered through T-Mobile. The trade in deals were tough to pass up, but I'm not on a Magenta plan so I didn't get the full benefits. Hopefully you guys get yours soon.
I ordered mine from T-Mobile yesterday (19 September) and they told me that it would ship between 27 October and 11 November. I HAVE TO WAIT OVER A MONTH FOR IT TO SHIP!!!!
Ugh. I might just cancel and buy one elsewhere. The only reason I was getting it through T-Mobile was their $1k trade in but the way it works being stretched over 3 years really sucks.
I'm not cancelling my order until I have one in hand. I am also looking around for anyone willing to take my Note 20 Ultra (512GB with 512GB Card) in partial trade for a 512GB ZF3.
