FWIW I've only seen the US Play Store get new stock on Wednesdays. It would be surprising, albeit welcome event, given the seemingly limited stock.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
I'm happy I decided to cancel my GPS order and just pick one up from Bell.. I figured they would have shipped by this week at least.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Nov.18ther here, still no sign of it shipping or new charges on CC. Just got to keep waiting :)
[Nexus 6  General] SEVEN40iL:
Ordered November 26th, 32 GB Cloud White, estimated delivery date is December 24th...
[Nexus 6  General] Steuartl:
Just chatted with a google rep about shipping dates.

"Me:

i was wondering what the chances are of it shipping prior to the given date

Jessica S	7:53 PM

I completely understand your concern.

me	7:53 PM

as the given date seems to be worst case

Jessica S	7:54 PM

To be honest, the 'ship by' date is the latest date the order will leave the warehouse. It could potentially ship earlier; however, I wouldn't expect it.

The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your email because we will send a shipping confirmation with your tracking number when the package leaves the warehouse."
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Well we got restocked last Wednesday so I was expecting the same this week. But I guess that was too much to ask of Google. I'm not goin to Rogers for this Phone, sonill stick it out I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] trilogee:
I purchased Nov 26, CC got charged today but no shipping email yet.
[Nexus 6  General] ponts:
Did the same thing. Bought the 32gb blue for $749 but had to sign a month to month $40 plan with no activation fee and they dinged me $5 for a nano sim. I called them up and cancelled the next day. Still haven't cracked the seal on the box yet as I am waiting for my case and screen protector to arrive Friday.
[Nexus 6  General] Alimaq9:
Are you sure your CC got charged? or just an authorization was placed?
[Nexus 6  General] machNex:
No movement on either wallet or my CC yet... and there hasn't been any stock at Bell around here to entice me either.
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Keep in mind the french language typo might have caused Motorola to rework the boxed Canadian units causing a delay.

Just speculation.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
I thought that was only in regards to telus?
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
It effects the French language selection, so ANY Nexus 6 user that selects French language will have the crash issue (on the old firmware).
[Nexus 6  General] Crosserson:
Ordered 64 blue on November 26th. No charges pending. Waiting game continues. December 24th ship date.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Sigh.... that's not really what I wanted to hear... but it's true... it should've been expected.

In other topic, I have a question about the pre-order charge... Is it normal that the charge seem to have disappeared from my bank account? I remember seeing the full pre-auth charge frozen, but then I forgot about it, and when I go back into my account today, I cannot find any Google charge to that amount anymore... Does it mean they have released the funds and will re-charge once it's shipped? Or is the charge still there, somehow hidden somewhere?
[Nexus 6  General] machNex:
It's like when you book a hotel room with your credit card. They do an electronic 'imprint' to make sure your card will bear the charges, but nothing is actually charged or held. Then, when you go to pay up, that's when actual charges get made.

(It's not showing on my credit card anymore either).
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Damn it... I thought I already paid and didn't have to worry about this anymore... Now I am to expect a whole new ~1k$ charge in 2 weeks? I need to tone down on my holiday shopping.....all those 4KTVs on sale :( lol
[Nexus 6  General] trilogee:
Yep, auth was placed on the 26, my card was charged yesterday.
[Nexus 6  General] Naruto101:
Got the first batch 18th Nov and still not charged on my cc yet. Just got off the phone with Google they said it will be charged when it leaves the warehouse. Charges just pending
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Do you actually still have a pending/frozen charge on your credit card statement today though?

It's completely gone for me, as if I never pre-ordered. It sounds like the full charge will only appear once the phone ships.
[Nexus 6  General] Naruto101:
I don't even see anything pending on my credit card, I called google and they told me it was pending.
[Nexus 6  General] bradellis51:
This wait is killing me. Why did the carriers get it before the Google Play orders. And why are we waiting so much longer than our American neighbours ... just dumb...
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
What's killing me is 11/19 order's from the US are already shipping and our Canadian 11/18 order's still have no info, same phone, same hardware.
[Nexus 6  General] rocurs:
Got my $499 Nexus 6 from Bell yesterday. Very happy that they honoured the deal.
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
That is so sweet, too bad its only 32gb

Still nice a deal though, dont you love it when big companies screw up lol.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
Too bad it's blue too. I only want a white one.

Also, it's so hard to find this phone in Toronto. They don't have it on display or when I ask, they just say they don't have it.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Square One has a ton! Mississauga tho :p
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
congrats. I got one, too... full price though :( haha
[Nexus 6  General] desilla:
Yeap i got one at the wireless wave kiosk. They had gotten 6 the night before. There was 5 left as of wed night. The wow mobile kiosks had them too. Funy thing Both rogers corporate stores did not have them. Had no clue when they are getting them. So weird the kiosks had them but Rogers who released the phone did not have them.

Its a great phone. Super fast even with encryption enabled and fun. Just iffy about thge size of the phone. Its a bit heavy and because its pretty wide my hand gets tired holding it. Front facing stereo speakers are amazing alng with the screen. They only had the blue. Its a fingerprint magnet, you will be wiping it down often.

1st battery cycle and i got 5.5 hours screen on time. All youtube but with screen brightness manually all the way down. Was perfect for me inside. Location was on. That was a nice suprise. Im with Rogers. Hopefully with the language change from google with software updates on carriers, i don't have to wait for Rogers to approve updates

Beautiful phone. Just don't know if i can get used to the size and heaviness. Have to decide if im going to keep it or go to the s5 or the lg g3.
[Nexus 6  General] k.s.deviate:
I placed my order on Nov. 16 and have not seen any movement in my G wallet account either. Expected date to leave the warehouse is Dec 18th.

I made the mistake of not double checking my shipping address... I forgot to ad the 0 in 70th ST... So i called Goolge minutes after making the purchase,

no one there can modify my order.. I was told to cancel and re order.. yeah right.. or wait until i get a tracking number and contact the shipper...

I have since called 3 times just to be a pain in their a**... not even a manger can modify my order. Period. How dumb is this? I work in shipping

and receiving, we can always modify the address no matter what. After my last conversation with them I wasnt even asked about nor transfered

to the survey section... thats how mad I was.

If any Google rep is reading this, make the suggestion to your department head that key areas need to be improved.

1. learn how to use your system and give the access to modify orders.

2. Dont put something up on your website to be purchased if you dont have the stock. Waiting a month for an item just to be shipped is unacceptable.

I ordered items from Hong Kong on Nov 24th and guess what, Ill have them by the middle of next week. Why? because they were actually in stock.

Ok, Im done my rant. Maybe I'm just not used to this kind of behavior. This is my first device purchased thru Google.. I normally go thru my carrier.

My experience seems to be the norm from what I'm reading.
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
> 2. Dont put something up on your website to be purchased if you dont have the stock.

To be fair, it's pre-order, not purchase. You know before showing that you have money to Google that there was a wait...
[Nexus 6  General] Alimaq9:
Im cancelling my order. Im leaving friday dec 12 on vacation for a month and no way its reaching me in that time frame. It prolly wont even get shipped till end of next week. Super disappointed. My only hope now is to get it from a rogers store in Edmonton. Someone please lemme know if you hear anything of its availability in edmonton. Super disappointed!!! :(
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
waiting for my bell price order to ship...i got OOS notice...i didn't buy the phone early on in the price error..those that got the 1st batch sent out ordered early on
[Nexus 6  General] Crosserson:
Have any Canadian got their phone from Google yet?
[Nexus 6  General] k.s.deviate:
True, however they should not have it listen as "is stock". this misleads who are doing the pre order into believing that its an actual in stock order.
[Nexus 6  General] devilwarier9:
Wow. Americans who ordered 11/26 from GPS are getting shipping confirmations today.

Canadians who ordered 11/18 are being told to go **** themselves.

This is really pissing me off. I can accept low stock. I can accept that they have some contract that carriers need them by X date. I can't accept that Americans who ordered OVER A WEEK later than us are getting their phones OVER A WEEK before us. This is lunacy. I ordered the same phone (64GB Blue) as the people reporting shipping, and Canadian devices are IDENTICAL to American ones and ship FROM THE SAME WAREHOUSE. It is so infuriating.

I want to cancel my order but I just don't have the willpower.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
This frustrates me too but only 10 more days! For us with Dec. 16th dates anyways!
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Nahh, the "in stock" was in reference to PRE-ORDERS being in stock. There are only so many PRE-ORDER slots available (apparently). Once they have been allocated, they are out of stock (until next Wednesday or whatever). There's no misleading here when you understand the process everyone here is going through.

We are nit-picking here I suppose, but we ALL knew hardware was not being shipping when you showed them your money a few weeks ago. You were simply putting yourself in a queue for a device to be shipped at a later date (they they have missed for some now).

I'm upset by the whole issue with Google's inability to properly handle the Nexus logistics project (time and time again).
[Nexus 6  General] jags_the1:
I see no reason why you are so upset, when you pre-ordered the delivery date was specified. If it gets any more late then that, you have a much better reason to get upset.
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Because google is giving the US priority, if i ordered and someone else orders a week later I would damn well expect my order to be given priority.

They are treating us they could care less about Canada

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
I too agree that the US should not be given priority, if they were separate hardware I understand but they are the exact same phone, they also did not state that it was preorders on the 18th. Either way im just happy I got an order in :) Best of luck to everyone else!
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Cross-border logistics is more problematic than just turning things around in your own country.

Also remember all boxes and external documentation HAS to be bilingual in Canada.

That said, Google is doing a pretty crappy piss-poor job at it.
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Yeah the whole bilingual thing is stupid, ive never been a fan and dont agree with it either lol.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] Fulbring:
Looks like we won't be getting the Nexus this week either.
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
Can't believe Google give us the silent treatment about this...
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
Agreed. It would be nice to at least have a concrete release date instead of just "Coming soon". When is "soon"? Based on Motorola's track record with releasing devices in canada, that could be the end of January, or later. As much as I like google and their products, they way they treat Canadians makes it hard to justify.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Does anybody know if our providers (Bell/Rogers/Telus) actually add bloatware to Nexus devices? That's the only thing stopping me from buying it outside of Google...
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
I doubt they would -- they have never done so in the past. In any case, it's a Nexus, so stock factory images from Google will be available for download and flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
Only difference I can imagine would be a carrier logo somewhere on the physical device but doubt that will happen
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
A t this point I'm seriously wondering if I'm not getting a note 4...
[Nexus 6  General] zxyz:
When we buy stuff from the Canadian Play Store it seems to ship from the US, so how come we can't buy it yet if that's the case? Not enough stock for us?
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
This is seriously frustrating.. Just give us a date or some indication of when it's coming. All we have heard is from MobileSyrup, not a single peep from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I am a confused neighbor from down south in the US. I know you Canadians have your own Play Store, but doesn't the Nexus devices ordered in Canada also ship from Louisville KY in the US like our Play store orders? If that's the case, they should have let you all order the same time as us in the USA.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I apologize on behalf of my ****ty country :(
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Shouldn't be your country apologizing. Should be Google. No problems with ordering a Nexus 5 in Canada on launch day but apparently its different with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
I can confirm that for a fact.

I just ordered a brand new Nexus 5 (for a family member) from the Canadian play store and this is the tracking info:

Louisville, KY, United States 10/23/2014 11:14 P.M.Departure Scan

But since it looks so hard to order even from the states itself, I think they have bigger problems. I had confirmation from Google Support that Canada was supposed to have the same date as USA, but that date came and went....

Something definitively went wrong and they are keeping quiet about it.
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
Well, N4 and N5 had ****ty launch in Canada (even if I was lucky enough to grab them on day one of the release) but this time, they screw up at a level I could not even imagine!

Come on Google! You can do better than that! Feel like they are just lazy launcher.... Or they don't mind....
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Yeah i nabbed an n5 on day one...it went back after a few days though lol.

Im hoping for a much better experience with the N6

sent from Canada my Note 4, 3, 2 or One X+
[Nexus 6  General] Naruto101:
I subscribed to the email alert for n6 on the google play Canada page, you guys think google will send alerts when the pre-orders open?.
[Nexus 6  General] sahityag:
What does everyone here to do for phone insurance? Moto Care, SquareTrade aren't in the running. Carrier insurance is a joke (and overpriced). Is there some company that I don't know about? Or are we all just really, really careful with our phones north of the border.
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Pretty much the last one lol

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I use a credit card to purchase the phone that provides coverage for accidental breakage for 90 days as well as extended warranty for a up to a year past the Google warranty.

It's not the same as getting coverage through a 3rd party but I look at it as a bonus that gives me at least a little peace of mind.

I don't like cases on my phone so I'm as careful as I can be with all of my devices just out of habit.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
I've been looking for something like this also, but generally im very careful with my devices :)
[Nexus 6  General] camaao:
And another one bites the dust. Since ordering on day one, I've had enough time to convince myself of two things. I won't get my order before my holiday out of the country and I don't need a phone that cost C$865 (32GB CW, ON HST). This will the first time I'll have a smartphone that is not a Nexus device, so I went for an unlocked Moto X (2014) pure edition, the N6's smaller sibling. All in all, U$470 (32 GB custom + fast charger, California tax + Cyber Monday deal).

Good luck everyone and may you enjoy your sexy N6s in due time.
[Nexus 6  General] bartone:
For those who purchased their nexus 6 in-store, do you still qualify for the google play music trial promo?
[Nexus 6  General] smelenchuk:
Per the offer's terms and conditions, emphasis mine:

So no.
[Nexus 6  General] jhk0215:
I'm pretty sure if you buy from Best Buy or Future Shop you can purchase a Geek Squad Protection plan, but I ordered my Nexus 6 from the Play Store I can't use it :(
[Nexus 6  General] bjgrenke:
Anyone know if Bell will be getting the white version of the N6? Looks like upgrading through Bell will be cheaper than ordering from GPlay, but would rather have a white one :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
As far as I can see, no one knows, but the chance is slim as US carriers are only getting 1 version (32GB Midnight Blue) now. Unless US starts carrying the white one or 64GB version, then we might have a chance.

This is why I had to order from Google Play Store.
[Nexus 6  General] vgjfelix:
Another lucky random purchaser here.

Went into Robson St Bell store in Vancouver and they had one... I bought it. Video story below. Loads more videos to come.

[YOUTUBE]KUazJYqvVmI[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I went into my local Rogers store to see if they had any inventory. I was told that they had 6 including a 64GB white but they couldn't sell it to me without agreeing to a 2-year contract. I guess I'll keep waiting for my GPS order.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
64gb white? Which Rogers was this?
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
Masonville mall in London.
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I just went into another Rogers location near me and, although they didn't have any inventory, they did have a display model. It's the first one I've actually been able to see and hold.

First impressions: wow it's big; it feels comfortable in my hand; and it's slippery compared to my N5.

I might consider putting a skin on mine or even a go with a flygrip. Time will tell once I get one in hand for a little while.
[Nexus 6  General] devilwarier9:
Man, I also stopped into my local Rogers today. They had a display model that I played with for a bit and I asked if they had any. They said no, and they (this particular store, I guess) wasn't going to get any unless they were pre-ordered and basically already sold. They won't be stocked to sell to walk-ins.

Seems strange. I was happy I finally got to touch one, though. Very hard to get a real feel with all the security bull**** hanging off of it, though.

In other news: ONE MORE WEEK FOR WAVE ONE GPS BUYERS! GET HYPE!
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
I don't know if this is good news of bad news... but Canada Post package tracking now available on Google Now.

Maybe that's why canadian orders have been delayed more than american ones? Because Google changed shipping company? I don't remember my Nexus 5 being sent thru Canada Post.

Edit: Actually I read that article too fast... I see now that it has nothing to do with Play Store and more instead with Google Now display/notifications...
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I was lucky they hadn't put the phone I handled today out on display yet. It was nice to get to play with it without anything attached to it.

One major drawback of having played with the display model is being even more anxious to get mine!

December 24th estimated ship date is killing me now :)
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
Hoping the GPS offers some today for those still trying to get an order in.

Will today be the day we finally see some 64GB white offered in Canada?

Fingers crossed and good luck everyone.
[Nexus 6  General] Sandman2749:
Looks like 32GB Blue is up. Waiting for the White Unicorn (White 64GB) to drop too. :)
[Nexus 6  General] uneek14:
yeah just bought a 32 blue. Leaves warehouse on January 15th. Really wanted a 64gb - either in white or blue!
[Nexus 6  General] ChiefBrewmaster:
Just curious to fellow Canadians i just finally got the 32gb today after waiting many weeks for it and was wondering

Did you all pay the 16.99 shipping fee and $99.58 tax ?

I was just wondering if it would be the same price I would have paid with bell or rogers off contact and have it in my hands faster ?
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
32 Blue still in stock if anyone is interested. I'm gonna wait for a 64GB version. I'm not spending this much for something Im not 100% invested in. Either Google or Motorola needs to step their game up. I have never seen any launch this bad.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

I don't understand people wanting this that bad that they would settle for a version that they don't 100% want. Lol.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
because you won't be paying S/H fees, it would be cheaper to buy in store off contract
[Nexus 6  General] Sandman2749:
Having "survived" the Nexus 7, 4 and 5 launches, I have to at least say that Google is consistent. haha The old "we didn't anticipate this demand" excuse is dead. So... either it is an intentional strategy or... they just suck at physical device launches. (or maybe somewhere in between)
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Lol. Can't even say they suck at it anymore. No one can get this wrong 4 times in a row. Its intentional
[Nexus 6  General] Crosserson:
You would save the shipping as previously posted. I only bought from Google since carriers are not or don't seem to be getting the 64 version.

When did you order?
[Nexus 6  General] ChiefBrewmaster:
earlier today but they still have stock now for the 32gb midnight night blue as of this post
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
If I buy straight from Google, will it work right on with bell?
[Nexus 6  General] johnny grep:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] Crosserson:
It seems to me that no Canadians have received their phones from Google...
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Still have a ship date Dec.16, hopefully it ships Today or Tomorrow :) HOPEFULLY you never know with Google :)
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
I really hope you are right.
[Nexus 6  General] ChiefBrewmaster:
When did you order if you don't mind me asking ? I was hoping maybe they would ship earlier than my Jan.05 ship day for the holiday (as it is a gift) but from the looks of it if you have not gotten yours I should not keep my hopes up
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Nov. 18th, CW 32GB
[Nexus 6  General] smelenchuk:
I'm getting remarkably frustrated with the delays, given that I can walk into a Bell store and have them tell me that they have the phone in stock, and then tell me that I'd have to get a phone plan where I would pay twice as much per month as I'm already paying in order to walk out of there with the device.

Why send phones out to carriers where they're going to sit on shelves being locked behind unreasonable carrier demands when there's a tremendous amount of people out there who are willing to order the device directly from you who you could be sending them to instead?
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Ultimately, people need to stop buying from carriers and buy phones outright.

Until the carrier model is proven to the general public as not being in their best interest, it's going to stay this way with the carrier having the upper hand.

Anyway, this is off topic, apologies.
[Nexus 6  General] IIIPowerIII:
Here I bought mine on release day from Bell with no plan at all... Call customer service in front of them if they don't want to sell you one, they have no right to refuse. That what I had to do, the guy on the phone talked to the other guy and I got one.
