Galaxy Z Fold 8 Orders Get Tracking Numbers: What to Expect

Samsung.com Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders are getting UPS tracking numbers. How to check yours and when I expect early pre-orders to arrive before August 7.

Quick summary: Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders placed on Samsung.com, including mine, are starting to get UPS tracking numbers. I pre-ordered a purple 512GB unlocked Fold 8 for my wife, and it already shows a tracking number.

How to check your order

  • Samsung.com: your order page shows the IMEI, price paid, insurance, estimated delivery date (mine still says August 7), and options to cancel or track. Tracking takes you to the UPS number.
  • UPS: sign up for a free UPS account with your name and address, and you’ll see incoming packages, including Samsung’s, sometimes before Samsung shows them. The reference number matches your Samsung order number.

When will it ship?

August 7 is the release date, but based on past launches, phones ship before that:

  • Starting Friday, many more people will get tracking numbers and shipping notices.
  • Over Friday through Sunday, almost everyone with an early Samsung.com pre-order should have tracking. Some people near Texas, or whose carrier shipped early, may get their phones that weekend.
  • By Monday and Tuesday, tons of people will have their phones. From July 31 to August 4, lots of deliveries, then a trickle after that.

You can still order

When I checked, the purple Fold 8 was still available in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB for August 7, which surprised me given how popular it is.
