twospirits Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 With just one week left to go before the Note 8 starts shipping to customers, has anyone bought accessories for it like screen protectors, cases, etc? TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnjeepmale Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm going to wait a few months before looking at buying this phone. I bet BB will have some deals on it after awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deval Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I picked up the Spigen clear case with kickstand and the tough armor case. The tough armor case isn't as bulky as I expected, still wish they had a kickstand case which was slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I thought I saw somewhere that it mentioned that the Note 8 was shipping out the 5th of Sept to customers. My order form / email states my two notes and a return kit to send back my S8+, but no estimated date of shipment. But tonight I got an email from Sprint saying that they just shipped out the return kit for my S8+ to return back. I thought they usually do that the same day that they ship you your new device. So if true, then I wonder if that means the Note 8 is also shipped.. if true, then... its coming, If not, then I guess Sprint wants me to get the return kit before getting the Notes. Just checked with sprint. They can neither confirm or deny that the phones are also shipped with the kit. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyd96 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Release day isn't till 9/15 per Samsung. I bought 2 through Samsung using the Note 7 loyalty credit promo. They all say ship 9/11 will be delivered by 9/14. I know that Samsung is making an effort to get the Note 8's out to Note 7 users as quickly as possible so that they will be some of the first to get the phone.

marioc21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Got my shipping notice as well. But nothing comes up on the UPS site yet. So I guess it's not actually shipping out until at least tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Sorry for that ambiguous email screenshot in my previous post.. Per my email at 3am or whatever time it was...my WIFE's grey Note 8 has a tracking number and is on the way... The one I wanted (the black) is not yet shipped. If i go to www.sprint.com/myorder ...then I can see that the grey has tracking, but the black doesn't.. I'm not receiving a return kit, since on the day I preordered my notes, i purchased my note 5 outright...so I own my note 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess it's not actually shipping out until at least tomorrow. From my years of experience with UPS, FedX and USPS (mostly UPS and FedX tho)...that usually means (and sometimes it will say this) "tracking information has been sent to the carrier, but the package has not yet been picked up by the carrier"... so, a shipping label has been printed and placed on a box, but UPS hasn't picked up yet. They will probably start moving around 9-10am today..you'll probably see something on the UPS app around 5pm this evening (times are CST for me).. For those who are unaware, Sprint has a contract with UPS to not leave packages ...they told me that MUST see a person and hand it off ...so you need to either pick it up at the local hub (or UPS store), or have someone available to sign, Apparently people used UPS as a "I never got it" when they would leave packages on someone's door... I've signed the delivery confirmation release....but it still doesn't apply to shipments that are made from sprint.... I still have to physically touch the package as received from the driver... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twospirits Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Once I get a date it comes in. I will have to make sure I take that day off from work to make sure to get it as well. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioc21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well, the tracking page at UPS has moved from tracking # not found to a shipping label has been created but carrier has not received it yet. Progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Est delivery is 9/1. Will pickup on 9/1 at UPS hub (don't have a UPS store anymore...)...and will update when I see movement on the package.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyd96 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 For those buying from Samsung direct. Several people have chatted with Samsung and they said that all orders as of yesterday would be shipped by 9/4 at the latest. My order now went from 9/11 ship date to just saying "Pre-order" with no date. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I wonder why Samsung direct is shipping later than Sprint? Unless it's int'l...which I highly doubt...seems like Sammy should ship before them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnjeepmale Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Went to Sprint store today. I'm upgrade eligible but they want $40/month for the phone. No good deals. I'll wait. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Check your account online anyway. I have lines where it's shown as $40/month, but with a $20 credit bringing it to $20/month total. I received an email from Sprint about it, but I think if you just start the process of leasing it then it'll show the credit. From what I'm told, it depends entirely on how likely Sprint thinks you are to churn. It's like a retention credit.

I'll give that a try or wait until Sprint emails me. By the way, what happens after 18 months of payments if you want to keep it? Can they turn it into a monthly payment for the next 6 months?

It also looks like you get upgrade eligibility after 12 months. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
