This is absurd. Even with a one-second-checktime script, every model is out of stock between the time of getting a notification and the page loading. What a joke.

Edit: Huh, now everything except the model I want is showing add to cart (64GB White).
[Nexus 6  General] kgeissler:
That is what I tried to do...I got the 32GB, but when I added the 64GB, it disappeared from my cart.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I got my 64GB midnight blue!! Only the 32 GB was showing available, so I purchased that, then I refreshed and the 64 was available, so I purchased that. And then cancelled my 32gb order.

I just setup an account on nowinstock.net for all versions of the N6. Worked beautifully!
[Nexus 6  General] overlord727:
I had to refresh a few times. And I forgot I used the wrong credit card at first too and had to re-enter my info. REALLY freaking lucky I guess :D

We LITERALLY had the same experience! Congrats! :good:
[Nexus 6  General] kleptonez:
urgh! that was like a 30 second window. do they release like 10 units each time............. zzz
[Nexus 6  General] vikramjatt11:
they just had another few minutes for the 32GB ones. the 64GB ones keeps disappearing from the cart. got my 32GB blue, no luck on a 64GB one yet.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
well........****.......lol i refrehsed and seems like it went out of stock in seconds
[Nexus 6  General] jhumps:
got the twitter alert from @n6stock and was finally able to get the one i wanted!!! yay!
[Nexus 6  General] xbassols:
Yay! Finally I've got my N6 Black 32Gb!! and my Pushbullet channel worked perfectly :D
[Nexus 6  General] Mnt-XDA:

[Nexus 6  General] coach26:
what ship date did they give you....21st still?
[Nexus 6  General] kleptonez:
means it's out of inventory bro
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
i got 11/26 for my order
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
Same here. 64 blue keeps disappearing from cart.
[Nexus 6  General] xbassols:
Yep Leaves warehouse on 11/21/14
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
Yep, mine also says 11/21
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
i just got hope i went up the to computer and said let me click refresh and seen it was in stock! so i said let me click add to cart watch it disappear nope! it went through. yesssssssssssss 708 dollars 32gb blue with overnight shipping with 11/21 date
[Nexus 6  General] Mnt-XDA:
No that's not the fact ... I tried to clean cart and add n6 about 3 / 4 times

But same error... (I was using a free VPN from India)
[Nexus 6  General] kleptonez:
oh i see.. tough luck bro. let's keep trying!!!
[Nexus 6  General] overlord727:
Got the 21st for my 64 blue!
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
For those getting 11/21 did you guys all order the same thing? I'm 32 blue - just wondering maybe if its specific to the blue 32 that gets the 11/26 ship date
[Nexus 6  General] tunx:
People keep refreshing - I kept doing it and BOOM it showed up ! Click click click - bought ! This was for a white 32GB. Best of luck.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
well i ordered the 32gb blue. hey i wouldnt worry about the date. atleast you got your order in! maybe you just happen to be maybe on the second wave. maybe the date will change
[Nexus 6  General] nyijedi:
I ordered 32 GB blue and mine says 11/21, not 11/26.
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
kk thanks guys - whatever i can wait the extra week. I was just wondering - i ordered almost immediately after it went live, but i dont care. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] SupaDupaFly24:
My ship date also says 11/21!!
[Nexus 6  General] stunnedjack:
Got the alert from my chrome extension, frantically clicked it and added on to my cart, then was getting errors when checking out. But finally got an order placed for a 32GB White. Now to pay for it tho.
[Nexus 6  General] wattsja:
I got a 32gb White .. but in my haste, I didn't choose overnight shipping. I talked to Google and they said it couldn't be changed after it was placed. He also suggested NOT canceling the order yet since they are out of stock so much. (DUH, thanks Cpt. Obvious .. lol). I will try to place a 2nd order and cancel the first. Still actually hoping for the holy grail of 64gb White.
[Nexus 6  General] bastienvans:
I was able to place an order for a white 64gb (1:40PM EST) about 30 minutes after placing an order for a white 32gb (1:13PM EST) so there was hope! :)
[Nexus 6  General] epphllps:
Most of the order times I'm seeing are around the same times as the 10/29 preorder. I'm guessing we have a narrow time frame to try and grab the one we want. Was hoping they might pop up all throughout Wednesday.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Ok. Confused now...first the temp auth disappeared and then came back on my account and now it's gone again. Wonder what's up?
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Think it means they are just re-newing the pre-auth.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Ok. But it was gone until today and then back and then gone again this evening. Didn't think they would do it again that quick .
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
Apparently that's how fail Google work. No release date for when the N6 will release. No date or time for when the pre orders goes live. And no release date for Android L on N5 and older devices. They anonymously do what they want. It seems like they dont have a system.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Google has proven they are the worst at new product launches year after year!
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Talk is that 5.0 for N5 is delayed due to a pretty bad wifi power management bug.

You want working code or do you want it fast hell-or-high-water?

[Nexus 6  General] slickromeo:
how do i get those text notifications when its available?
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
I actually placed my order then it said "You need to Log In again to place your order". So I had to log in to Google and then do the whole thing again. Thankfully it went through.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
Very happy to be part of this release date again this year. Last year was fun!

Last year it would say out of stock, then you keep refreshing and some more would come in stock...I snagged the 32gb last year as all the 16 were out and I didn't really want a 16 anyways. I was like 20 mins late to the order as well.

Maybe they sent all the phones to verizon so stock is small at the google head quarters...
[Nexus 6  General] Iamrasz:
Went from coming soon to out of stock.
[Nexus 6  General] shah_vm:
this phone is getting expensive 20USD for shipping + TAX :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] soloxp:
just got 32 blue
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
saw the 32GB add to cart, but I want the 64GB
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
I believe it was $9.99 for 3-5 day, $13.99 for 2 day, and $18.99 for 1 day...for just 9 dollars more I decided it was worth it to get it up to 4 days sooner!
[Nexus 6  General] 10pmStalker:
Yeah I didnt like paying $20 for shipping but need that 1 day shipping! Was hoping Amazon had the pre sale.
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
Got my white 32gb model ordered at around 10:38am PST. Just keep on refreshing and it will come into stock.
[Nexus 6  General] marctronixx:
the gopro hero 4 in stock listing on the gopro site did this exact., same thing.

went to coming soon to out of stock to ready to order in less than half an hour.

i think the DNS servers across the country get updated at different times so some could see in stock whereas others dont...
[Nexus 6  General] daoist:
DNS doesn't really control what you see on the pages.
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
I hope they are trying to get ready for 2 and just a blip...I really want a blue 64
[Nexus 6  General] neuty:
Got the 32gb white, arg, wanted blue. This tops the Nexus 5 release lololol
[Nexus 6  General] lightlytoasted:
I think its more like this is what they do to handle a small number of phones and a large demand at release. They trickle them out over the day until the first wave is actually all gone.

Got mine at 11:16:47 AM MDT was lucky!
[Nexus 6  General] neuty:
Thats hopeful thinking, they're all gone!
[Nexus 6  General] atlharp:
That is probably the crappiest pre-order in the existence of retail. Wow. I thought One Plus One was bad!
[Nexus 6  General] rkennison:
Sold out of all models in 5 minutes? Doubt it.... More likely they just are getting it setup to go at 2 and you got lucky...
[Nexus 6  General] neuty:
I saw the first wave of inventory, it took 5 seconds then both white/blue were sold out. But more keep coming, id say every 5-10 mins
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
this is Google we talking about. They like to play by their own rules instead of listening to consumers
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
In cart twice, only to have "error on page" then out of cart on refresh..

:'(
[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
Spoke.to a Google rep. They have no idea wither. Could be that's it.
[Nexus 6  General] osetivo:
Maybe Google should have a lottery so that you can win a chance for an invitation <ducks for cover>
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
Took me 30 mins and a lot of refreshing but I was finally able to get my 32GB blue which is exactly what I wanted.

DONT GIVE UP PEOPLE!!
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
Who would have though that that "Doomed Phablet" known as the Nexus 6 would be selling out so fast....
[Nexus 6  General] Stay Frosty:
Remember the Nexus 5 launch where you had to manually edit the URL to get the model you wanted? Hoping that this is a glitch. Maybe testing the waters before opening the flood gates. I can't see how a $650 phone sells out in seconds vs. the cheap as dirt Nexus 5 which stayed in stock for a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] slickromeo:
I want my 64GB Midnight blue but it is perpetually out of stock !!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo.............
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
I spoke to a rep and they said more waves should be coming soon. Just keep trying.
[Nexus 6  General] lightlytoasted:
That's what worked for me with the Nexus Player release. It was sold out but later in the day I snagged one and the controller. Pretty sure that's this year's technique, trickle release...
[Nexus 6  General] kevkid:
wtf, so fast to run out... It feels like the n4 days. I went to grab a cup of coffee and they ran out of stock. crap.
[Nexus 6  General] raptir:
That was due to an FCC certification issue.
[Nexus 6  General] krishsastry:
Looks like only 50 devices on each type was manufactured for ordering!!
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
boo... this makes me sad...

2pm Eastern has come and gone... nada...
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
So who has been able to purchase one after the out of stock hit? Can we confirm they are trickling in or has it been OOS since then?
[Nexus 6  General] benburch9:
Seriously what the hell. I hate how google does this every year. What's the harm in opening preorders? You will eventually manufacture enough phones to fill them... just let everyone preorder and then fill them as you can.
[Nexus 6  General] GCbard:
I literally was refershing every 10s and then it went from "soon" to sold out!
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
I snagged one at 10:38am PST, I believe google started pre-orders at 10:15am PST.

It went out of stock for me, but I just kept on refreshing and eventually I was able to add a 32gb/white to my cart.
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
Same here... darn it... its just a phone but bah... :(
[Nexus 6  General] lightlytoasted:
No actually this was just later the same day, 10/17. Orders on 10/20 were after it was approved on the 19th and went back in stock.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
Page Monitor gave me an in stock alert for White 64gb but by the time the page loaded it was gone. Hopefully it went to one of you guys.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Yeah thats the best way of doing it, but remember Motorola is behind this launch they can't even make enough watches let alone Moto X's or Droid Turbos or Nexus 6's, just wait untill they get their hands out each others asses for making a new product that they single handedly superseded in less than a month.

its a waiting game we know they cant even do pre-orders so why worry about it ?
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
Sigh...

6 times it has hit my cart only to have an error when selecting Proceed to checkout.

C'mon Google fix this now!:crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Exactly just let everyone preorder in order. Almost like last year. Some were told they had a week wait while others 3-4 weeks.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Well, so much for replacing my L900 Note2 anytime soon. Be lucky to replace it by XMas with how stupid fast the pre-orders evaporated.
[Nexus 6  General] Stay Frosty:
If it's not shipping until the 21st do we even have to preorder? Surely they will be producing more in that time frame?
[Nexus 6  General] doctahjeph:
Well I guess I am not preordering a Nexus today.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
The Verge posted at 1:23PM EST that pre-orders had opened. I saw the 'Coming Soon' message until 1:31, refreshing every 30 seconds, at which point it went straight to out of stock. That's 8 minutes that I saw the 'Coming Soon' where others were able to order.
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
64GB add to cart showed up, clicked it and my cart was empty. Boooooo
[Nexus 6  General] 9e705ebbf0:
That's what you're pre-ordering dude. That stock that's going to be produced. Otherwise it's just ordering.
[Nexus 6  General] rufflez2010:
Well that sucked! I was in the car rushing home to beat the 2pm release (to be safe, I checked at 12, 12:30, and 1pm). Reading the comments here and elsewhere, I'm not too bummed as I'm sure more inventory will show up soon then. The only thing harder getting one of these Nexus 6's is getting a Woot's Bag Of Crap!

[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
Ha, exactly what I was thinking, i hope the phone isn't a BOC!! LOL
[Nexus 6  General] TheSopranos16:
I added one to cart 4 times and every time it comes up that my car is empty. This is looking worse than the N4 launch 2 years ago.

[Nexus 6  General] joshndroid:
No ability to preorder on aus play store... dammit
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
If you don't want it, I'll take it. Must of us are just trying to get it in cart or beyond.
[Nexus 6  General] TheSopranos16:
Don't feel so bad...for most of us...there has been no ability to preorder in the US store either...
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
now I wonder when my M8 GPE will be getting Lollipop. Probably before I'm able to get a N6.
[Nexus 6  General] BillyBrickz:
Locked mine in: Nexus 6 32gb Cloud White.
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
I agree if you only have enough phones that last a couple minutes for sale you might as well not even start taking preorders or selling them yet. Kinda wasted everyones time. Even people who got through got to wait like a month? Yep waste of everyones time
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
No. He's right. Worst pre-order EVER. They should have done like Apple and started pre-orders at midnight EST or PST. I knew this crap would happen (first time i've ever ordered a Nexus device). I started at around 10:59 EST.

I saw it when it listed it as available, as soon as I put it in my cart, it disappeared. So unlike other web stores, where when it gets in your cart, the actually HOLD that number so nobody else can't snag it, Google plays a shell game. You go to check out and wham, nothings under the shell. It's gone. Been moved.
[Nexus 6  General] lightlytoasted:
Since the ship date is so far out I bet tons more orders are placed in the next month, all still shipping on the 21st. N9 and NPlayer have both maintained the same ship date.
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
Is it all done now? is the pre-order rush over? Did I miss my Nexus release chance again?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Facepalm.

"worst pre-order EVER", only when you factor in all the other hardware pre-orders that went EXACTLY like this.... or get this-worse, where the Play site crashed under DDoS. Learn what "worst means".
[Nexus 6  General] doctahjeph:
For today at least.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Not sure why you'd assume it's over for today. We're coming up on NOON Google time so there's some hope! The day is still young.
[Nexus 6  General] slickromeo:
Google knows there's crazy high demand for this phone, I don't understand WHY they aren't prepared for the flood of orders...
[Nexus 6  General] 2fastkuztoms:
Keep your faith, i dont know how but i manage to grab 2 midnight blue a few minutes ago.
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
Was the Nexus 6 always supposed to ship late November while the Nexus 9 was early November?
[Nexus 6  General] plbelanger:
I wouldn't pay attention to ship dates with Google.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
Google fails at understanding the term "pre-order". They should have accepted whatever orders were attempted, and simply push out the displayed estimated shipping date based on certain order count thresholds at the time of order form request. Let the consumer decide whether they want to commit to the pre-order based on the date they see. This isn't rocket science and just creates frustration for everyone with this format.
[Nexus 6  General] xpD1:
I'm guessing the real problem is Motorola supplying the demand. No way google can fail this hard.
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
I'm hoping they're just testing something with a few preorders that for some reason are coming up with a later ship date. Then, they'll do the full release with everything updated in the system with earlier ship dates. It just doesn't seem right that orders are this limited for the nexus 6 while the nexus 9 is still available.
[Nexus 6  General] compuw22c:
You sir, have clearly never ordered a Nexus phone (at least the 4 and the 5) at launch from the play store. Wait til your friend who ordered hours or days after you gets his first and you're waiting an extra week or two. They can absolutely fail this hard at retail/ecommerce.
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG...

It worked, I finally got through. 32GB Midnight Blue added to cart, checkout completed and payment processed.

After 4 hours of trying I finally gone one reserved. I am down right elated!
[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
I am really annoyed by all of this . I See A Note 4 in my future. ..
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
After this and other confirmations, I updated the thread title to show it's all about persistent refreshing...
[Nexus 6  General] onthezone:
Ditto
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
I think persistent refreshing + LUCK
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
I was thinking the same thing, until I look at the price tag. Not worth the extra $150 IMO

I've had auto refresh plus refreshing every second with an alert for when "add to cart" appears. It's appeared about 5 times in the past hour and haven't been able to actually add to cart. I just started four chrome windows all doing the same thing split into four areas on my second monitor. Lol. This is pathetic...
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Yep, four chrome windows here..., been running like that since it started selling. Reminds me of the time I used to run 8 windows in EVE
[Nexus 6  General] celyko:
I read somewhere that motorola will be financing the device around release time in November. Does anyone know if that's accurate? And what the parameters are for qualification? Based in credit, an active bank account, income, etc.?
[Nexus 6  General] rkennison:
I would love to see numbers on what was sold today. Who ever did the ordering of units is an idiot and should be canned. sold out in minutes......
[Nexus 6  General] plbelanger:
More like seconds. I hit refresh right when it went live to pick a blue model and everything was gone
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
According to XDA...a bit under 2 dozen phones were sold and that is it.
[Nexus 6  General] rkennison:
I want to see googles numbers.... I'm sure it's a bit higher then the 17 that took the poll. Unless this is a soft launch, then this makes no sense.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Worst or not, its terrible. Of all companies, you;d expect Google would know how to build a decent web order system. 4 years in a row now the Nexus launch has been terrible. Every other company has been able to do this, its not exactly rocket science. You give out a firm release date and pre order date, take orders and ship them.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
A bit, probably not much though. Like I said, exactly like with Black Friday brick and mortar store sales. Only keep a a dozen or less of a product in inventory to sell.

Further it makes complete sense. These presales are about stock price manipulation by gaming en mass computer-generated stock market gambling....these pre-sales are not about we the handset customers in any way shape or form.

You presume Google's goal with a sellout presale is to get consumers hooked up with phones. If you believe that, then I have a solid platinum bridge to sell you.
[Nexus 6  General] plbelanger:
Title should be changed. Refresh does not work. You will drive some people to madness hitting F5 lol
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Yeah. Not something I would be boasting about.
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
Meanwhile, Nexus 9 is still available in black and white in either storage option....
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
There's a seller on Amazon offering $1000 right now.
[Nexus 6  General] intekmdma:
The white N6 just changed status to:

This device is not for sale at this time.

[Nexus 6  General] plbelanger:
Mine says:

We are out of inventory. Please check back soon.
[Nexus 6  General] qwerty12601:
A) this isnt an iphone, no one is going to pay over what they can order it for. Nexus users are intelligent, not lustful sheep like most iphone fans. Theycan wait a week to get it.

B). Shame on you for being a clown, trying to take advantage of someone who wants one AND posting that youre doing so on a forum in a community where we're here to HELP eachother. Good luck getting anyone to help you with things here.

C). Youre more than likely no telling the truth that you even purchased one, let alone three.

[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
"auto refresh plus"
[Nexus 6  General] lightlytoasted:
Nexus Player and controller are back in the store, go buy those instead.
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
As has said before, all it takes is a lot of patience, and then a lot more patience than that and a plenty of diligence to nab a pre-order. I had been at it since 10AM central time refreshing every 15 minutes until the status first changed from Coming Soon.. to We are out of inventory at 12:15 CST. From this time on I refreshed at the start of very single new minute and even had multiple screens going for a while.

From then until 2:20 it was able to add it to my cart more than 12 times and have it fail on a Processing error. Then one more refresh and I was able to add it to my cart and complete the purchase.

F5 works, you just have to keep doing it without fail.

GL peoples!:good:
