I have made this thread for other to chime in with updates as time goes along. IF you are recieving shipping updates, please tell us when you pre-ordered, the variant of the phone (e.g. color and carrie or unlocked version), and expected arrival.
Alright, a lot of us are pretty peeved at this time considering the lack of feedback or answers that we have recieved from Best Buy regarding our Note 8 pre-orders. While others (carriers) shipments have already went out or even delivered at this point (confirmed from andriod communities), we have recieved no word.
Its seems though that some who have odered from best buy have started to recieve shipment notices. However, those are individuals who ordered with a carrier, not the unlocked versions. (From what I have heard as well as the fact that I have ordered a unlocked version)
I currently have a shipment date of 9/20!! That is ridiculous considering the fact that the actual release is the 15th and those that pre-ordered after me (my pre-order was 8/27) are already getting theirs. For those that do not know, you need your phone in hand to start the claim for Samungs freebies, a wireless charger and 256 GB sd card or a 360 camera. Our delays put us WAY behind the curve for claiming these and possibly by the time we get the phone, no freebies will be left.
I expect BB to give us some answers, otherwise, I am going to have to take my business elsewhere from this point forward. Throughout the years they have just went downhill on being ahead of the competition and with their customer service. While I know it wont matter to BB as I spend less than $10k per year, I would rather shop with someone who cares about the customers. (e.g. newegg) lol
