14. If a reservation was made to a location that is now closed, We’ll send the device to the closest Rogers store or authorized dealer in the area. The new store will contact you when the device arrives and is ready for pick up.

Reservation Fee

“What about this $40 reservation fee? Will it be returned to me?” You betcha. You’ll get a credit of $40 (+ taxes) for the reservation fee on your account if you reserved as an existing customer or to the original credit card if you reserved to activate a new line. Your reservation fee will be credited when:

15. Your phone ships from our warehouse or

16. You cancel your reservation online.

Before you go to the store to pick up your new phone, why not get a quote for your old phone and trade it in for a credit!

How To Pre Order Ship to Home: 

The Option for Ship to Home Order is here now! So you can have the device shipped to your home straight. You will not be able to track its status and will not be able to see anything until you get a shipment email from Rogers. This can be the day before or the day of Launch. The only ones that can track the status of the orders is the ones that pick Ship to Store reservations. This is how the system works for both.  If you pick Ship to Home then the only email you will receive is the confirmation email and then Shipment email when its shipped out.

Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.

For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confuses about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.

I know its alot to read at the moment but i am trying to cover all the bases for everyone so everyone knows how the reservation works and what they need to know! as always do not be afraid to ask any question you have as I
or any other member will answer it for you. I will do my best and answer all questions .

Hey guys!

So MobileSyrup posted the outright pricing and when its launched.

Canadian consumers can pre-order the device starting today. All of the country’s major carriers, including Bell, Telus and Rogers, will carry the device, as will smaller players like Videotron and Freedom Mobile. Consumers who pre-order the Note 9 ahead of its official launch will a receive free pair of Samsung Gear IconX wireless in-ear headphones (valued at $299.99 CAD) In Canada, the Note 9 will be available in two colours: ‘Ocean Blue’ and ‘Midnight Black.’ The Ocean Blue model is the one that comes with the contrasting yellow S Pen stylus we saw frequently in the leaks leading up to the Note 9’s reveal.

 The 128GB model Note 9 is priced at $1,299.99 CAD outright. Upgrading to the 512GB model increases the cost of the phone to $1,629.99. At Bell, the 128GB model is priced at $549.99 on a two-year term. So i am thinking Rogers will follow too. 

Pre order with Samsung Canada will be open as of Today after the announcement.

Stay tuned and ill post more info as it comes down!

this is NOT working !!!!

[kavkaz]

[Meowmix]

Hello @kavkaz

Have you tried another browser?.

Is it just not letting you enter the email?

[johnx65]

awesome. #20 in the list. can't wait to get a full day out of my note again.!

[kavkaz]

ha.. using a MS Edge allowed me to register properly. 

#4 so far..

[Meowmix]

Hello @johnx65

Yay!! Great to see that! Awesome!

[Meowmix]

Hello @kavkaz

Thats good! Good to hear!

[IainS]

Done mine today, it sucks that we always get the base model in Canada, would have been nice if Rogers would of had the 512GB version.

[Meowmix]

Hello @IanS

Isn't that how it always works with Samsung? Samsung is the one not letting any Canadian carrier bring the more expensive one or more colors until they want.

[IainS]

Sucks cause you can buy the black colour with 512GB direct from Samsung Canada, which tells me carriers did not want to pick up the option of the larger model. I would imagine it probably has something to do with the nearly $1700 price tag.

[Meowmix]

Hello @IanS

Thats true the price is expensive for the top tear model. Who knows but a however a little birdy told me otherwise on why the carriers didn't get it.

[jkffghjfghjfgjh]

I'm in!!!

#63 for black. I don't like the contrasting pen personally. It looks like you lost your original pen and bought a replacement in the wrong color. Lol

[Meowmix]

Hello @jkffghjfghjfgjh

Haha that's so true! However i think Samsung wanted to try something new haha.

[jkffghjfghjfgjh]

This phone can't get here fast enough. My Note 8 has TERRIBLE burn in on it. On any white screen I can see the keyboard ghosting and it looks so bad . I need to get the new one up and running ASAP so I can send the Note 8 back for repairs. I cannot live without a phone for business.

Anyone still have their Note 7's? 

[kavkaz]

no one would buy it at $1800.. its nutts

[Meowmix]

Hello @jkffghjfghjfgjh

I still have my original Note 7 sitting in the box. I returned the second one back to Rogers when I did the trade for another phone. Samsung for the past 2 years has been ignoring my emails and calls. I even showed them a video and a picture of the phone a couple months ago and they said " dispose of it". Nothing else.

I still use it for music or videos lmfao!

[Meowmix]

Hello @kavkaz

Yeah it's way to much. Think about it though. Many paid $2,000+ for the iPhone X 256GB last November.

[jkffghjfghjfgjh]

Has anyone on XDA found a way to revive these things to work on a carrier again with no battery restriction?

[troytempest]

ROGERS DOES NOT PROPOSE THE 512GB UPON RESERVATION, WHY NOT?
