I tried preordering from Verizon but I have the grandfathered UDP and it wouldn't let me without changing my plan, even with me choosing to pay in full. I tried to call and order by phone but Verizon only does preorders online or in store. So I purchased from Samsung directly, which means I'll probably get mine a day earlier than most everyone from Verizon, I guess I've got that going for me.

Interesting fact: all the s8 devices on display in my local Verizon store are SM-G950U and SM-G955U. This leads me to believe that big red is selling software customized Unlocked models.
Reading through the forums it looks like T-Mobile is the same, G-955U. Sounds to me Samsung finally made it easy to tell that it's the same exact hardware for the US versions.

Yea, it said that on previous pre orders and I got them at least on opening day, and a couple of times the day before.

Looks like T-MO already has shipped to some next day air.

Earlier today, my order status was still processing and said "Delivered by 4/21/2017". Since I'm going out of town on 4/20 and won't be back until 4/24 or 4/25, I called Verizon today to see if they had any better details on when the phones would be shipping so I could update the delivery address if they would definitely be arriving by 4/21. The first sales rep I spoke with said it would ship on 4/21. I told her that my order status said it would be delivered *BY* 4/21 and she said that the order status she was looking at on her end said shipping on 4/21 and that she would think it would be here by 4/24. I asked her if that was a definitive answer or if it was still speculation. She said she could check with her supervisor and I said thank you. After waiting over 30 minutes on hold, they disconnected me.

A little while later, I just checked my order status and it now says the status is "Processing" and "Expected ship date" is 4/21/2017. It'd be nice to get some clarification from Verizon, especially since there has been so much buzz on the T-mobile side the past few days. Has anyone else gotten any feedback from Verizon?

Yeah, I got the same, about 30 minutes ago. Maybe I'll call them again on Monday to try to get some answers. If they're going to ship them in time to arrive by 4/21, I sure as hell want them to send it to me where I'll be next weekend instead of going the whole weekend knowing there's a box sitting at my front door.

Wait, Verizon usually ships FedEx, right? And FedEx doesn't usually leave packages at the door. The last thing I want is to get back late the following Monday and have to drive to the FedEx office to pick it up. Damn you, Verizon, work with me ;)

That has happened to me too many times with Verizon. I usually have to wait until 6pm for the FedEx truck to come back to the main location and then pick up the package.

Got another text this morning with a link to fedex tracking. I realize that this just means the label is created and doesn't necessarily mean anything concrete, but still promising to see! 4/18 delivery date would be sweet!

Got my fedex numbers for my orders, but like the others it says future delivery requested. We don't know if they will deliver it before Friday. Mine say Thursday but I'm not expecting that to happen..

Mine is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. It's coming from Coatesville PA which isn't far from me. Now I have to order a case from Amazon 2 day shipping so I'll have it when the phone comes.
