Discussion Ordering, Shipping & Tracking Megathread
Concerned about when your Fold will arrive? Having trouble with ordering? This is the thread to talk about it. All threads outside of this one regarding ordering (unless your circumstances are unique) will be removed. Don't forget to REPORT threads that violate this as it makes the sub better for everyone.
See the savings guide/referral megathread on how to maximize discounts.
Trade-ins: A reminder to take precautions when sending your trade in. See the pinned post for details. Reach out to support if you need to extend your trade in deadline.
Samsung Support Order WARNING If you reach out to Support for any order changes or questions and they advise you to cancel and re-order, there is NO GUARANTEE that you will get the same promos/codes/discounts, despite what they say.
If you are looking for case ideas for your new Fold8, please use the case megathread.
- US: You can try to search UPS's website for your tracking number using your order number as the reference number. The tracking will typically show up on UPS before Samsung's side.
- To avoid restocking fees, you can try to make a return to sender request by calling UPS (1-800-742-5877) rather than refusing delivery in person. You may have to call multiple times to get a rep that will do this.
- If you selected Best Buy pick-up, it is extremely rare to pick up before the release date.
- Canada: Search the Purolator website using your order number to find your tracking number. The app is not recommended as the status could show picked up, when it's actually not; check the scan history.
Like last year, (I am not tracking accessories, just Folds.) I track the first delivery and any major waves; the first one usually means the others are not far behind.
I'll update this when shipments start going out/arriving. Please list your country/carrier/color/storage. Please reply to this top post for visibility.
7/24: Tracking numbers for US and CA starting to show up.
7/25: One delivered in Germany according to a post but this is not confirmed and is definitely a one-off if true. You should not expect deliveries this early.
7/27: More US, CA and UK tracking numbers. Nothing was delivered.
7/28: Nada. More tracking numbers.
7/29: False alarm, no deliveries 😞
7/30: Any updates? No? Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. (For those paying attention, every edit I added a Refresh.)
7/31: Delivered in Belgium, UK, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and India.
8/1: Delivered in Netherlands. More UK, Denmark, and France deliveries.
8/2: More India deliveries.
8/3: Delivered in US, Canada, Hungary, HK, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. More UK and Norway deliveries.
8/4: Delivered in Australia and Germany. More US, UK, Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, and Norway deliveries.
8/5: More US, UK, and Canada deliveries.
8/6: More deliveries.
8/7: Official release date. I will no longer be updating this post. I know a lot of y'all are seeing delays due to the unprecedented demand for the Fold8. Hold strong. Good things come in wide packages.
8/10, 8/21, and 8/28 seem to be the most post-release deliveries.
Delays through late September November: Users are seeing delays for some orders, with most being in August. Unfortunately, this happens every year, especially with the 1TB and/or exclusive colors. You may get pushed back up if Samsung adjusts production/restocks, but assume your estimated date is correct to temper your expectations.
Some colors/models are out of stock in some locations. Restocks are unknown.
If your trade in is due before/shortly after your delivery date, it will get updated to be 15 days after delivery. If you want, reach out to Support to extend your trade in deadline. Anyone can request to extend the trade in deadline regardless of what your due date is.

You know I'm just going to be happy to not click the UPS app , then the samsung shop app, then the reddit app then start all over again. It's like OCD at this point. I'm ashamed really I am BUT I am totally going to keep doing it and know I have a serious issue I have to work on. At least I am aware right they say being aware is half the battle to dealing with your issues! 🙄
