I called FexEx International and it appears that the Chinese shipper bundled other goods in the Pallet/Shipping Container with the Motorola phones. It is the other items that are causing the "Animal parts or animal products clearance required" delay. The most frustrating thing is that it is "All Or Nothing" so no items will move forward until the offending items are cleared. I was told it could take up to 5 days for this to get sorted out.
[Nexus 6  General] LogicL77:
Thanks for calling into fedex. I'm stuck in the clearance delay fiasco, but mine says :

Recommended action:

Importer must provide instructions.

Reason for delay:

Manufacturer name and address or manufacturer identification code (MID) for each commodity required.

Recommended action:

Shipper or Importer must provide manufacturer name and address or manufacturer identification code (MID).

Reason for delay:

Part number not provided in customer's database.

Recommended action:

Shipper/Consignee to provide part number.

I saw a fedex van pass by this morning,.... it never stopped..... :(
[Nexus 6  General] AntsInMyPants:
Take a look again at the tracking information. I just received a Text from FedEx that it has cleared and the tracking information confirms it as well. Yes!
[Nexus 6  General] LogicL77:
YES!!! I just refreshed, shipment released from customs, but no ETA listed yet. :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] WSFrazier:
I am in the same boat as everyone else. Ordered from Motorola directly to take advantage of the 0% interest finance deal, and my tracking was stuck in clearance in Memphis, TN.

Just refreshed tracking and shows it cleared, but still N/A on delivery. My guess is tomorrow or Friday, since the original date was today, but customs held it up. Shipping to Pittsburgh, PA.

Glad I found this thread, was about to call Motorola or FedEx myself on the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] ryanbg:
I've been tracking Fedex's planes from Memphis. It looks like (depending on your location/market) they've got flights leaving every morning between 1am-4am. From there it should be at your distribution facilitity and out. TL;DR, it should be there tomorrow or Friday.
[Nexus 6  General] narezese:
Well.. Yesterday got my wc 64gb i ordered on the 12/17, they shipped it last Friday..
[Nexus 6  General] ghstintheshell:
Ordered 1/7 with a shipment date of 1/9. Midnight blue 32gb from GPS.
[Nexus 6  General] madmuthertrucker:
Mine is in this batch. Thanks for this info. I'm out west so maybe tomorrow. No update yet still reads Memphis.
[Nexus 6  General] WSFrazier:
My tracking says my Motorola order is on the FedEx truck for delivery today. Pretty quick, IMO considering is was delayed in Memphis, TN yesterday.
[Nexus 6  General] ryanbg:
Delivered. Waiting patiently for my lunch break lol
[Nexus 6  General] Lw00d:
question for people that ordered from GPS.. when delivered by UPS , did someone have to sign for package??
[Nexus 6  General] John Kotches:
Shocking,but I received my CW 64GB Tuesday but haven't reported it here yet.

Doing the Verizon dance to get it up and running, so far to no avail.

As a mobile computing device goes, its awesome - no experience as a phone just yet.

Cheers,
[Nexus 6  General] LogicL77:
Mine just got delivered. The ETA of unknown never changed, but the tracking updated this morning and fedex just dropped it off, beautiful phone!!! :good:
[Nexus 6  General] madmuthertrucker:
Take the micro sim out of the Note 2 and cut and sand it into a nano sim. Plenty of videos on Youtube of how to.
[Nexus 6  General] John Kotches:
I have to be careful about when its done. Its BYOD for work, son I can't be down for too long... Make a mistake and I might be down longer than I would care to be.

But yeah, it can be done.
[Nexus 6  General] madmuthertrucker:
Me too. Out for delivery. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Edit: Delivered!!!
[Nexus 6  General] ledrac:
Still waiting...

Lucky you madmuthertrucker. My MB 64GB Nexus 6 was also in the same shipment. It appears to be just departing Memphis as of 1:29 PM today. It arrived in Memphis on 1/5 at 10:39 PM. Cleared the import delay 1/7 9:44 AM. Why it took over 24 hrs from clearance to finally make it on a vehicle for further transport is confusing especially considering others have received their phones after a similar customs delay today. Hopefully the phone will be delivered tomorrow (4 days from when it arrived in the US). Only consolation is I got to play around with one in AT&T yesterday. Big phone but fast and well designed / manufactured. Got my case and screen protector waiting. ?
[Nexus 6  General] stevemw:
Ordered my 64G Midnight Blue 12/24/2014. Shipped today. Ordered from T-Mobile. Shipping UPS Expedited.
[Nexus 6  General] snowblind64:
Just got my shipping notification! With any luck I'll have my phone tomorrow.

Ordered from T-Mobile on 12/29 around 9PM. MB 64GB
[Nexus 6  General] axman92:
I ordered the MB 64GB Nexus 6 on 12.31.2014 from T-mobile and just received the shipping text. Now I'm just waiting on UPS to update and acknowledge the tracking number on their end.
[Nexus 6  General] rkwhyte2:
Oh now this is good news I ordered a 64Gb MB about 2 hours earlier. Hope to see something soon.
[Nexus 6  General] jerbeck24:
Mine said that too, but I got it delivered today! Exact same situation, 64GB and was supposed to ship the 22nd. Got a notification the other day that it had shipped and had an import delay in Alaska, but tracking said it was in Memphis. It arrived in Memphis Tuesday, released early this morning, and also was delivered today! Shouldn't be too long for you, unless you already got it since this is a day or two old.
[Nexus 6  General] ad78:
64gb blue

Ordered 12/29 calculated shipping 1/5 to 1/11 then got pushed 1/12 to 1/19

I'm so frustrated and this afternoon I emailed John Legere and just now I received a text message from T-Mobile that my phone was shipped with UPS tracking number :D
[Nexus 6  General] rkwhyte2:
So I have a question for those who are just now getting shipping notices from TMo . Did y'all pay in full or are you paying over time?
[Nexus 6  General] Lw00d:
the wait is over for me... yessss, came home from work with my package waiting for me..
[Nexus 6  General] snowblind64:
I'm on the T-Mobile Jump plan. Making payments. Next day shipping.
[Nexus 6  General] elpmet27:
Got it today as well.. Congrats.. Love this excellent phone....
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
surprise delivery, got mine today! a full two weeks earlier than I was told. Used Wug's Nexus root toolkit to unlock, root and unencrypt. Profit!
[Nexus 6  General] rkwhyte2:
Just got my shipping notification from TMobile for my 64Gb MB. Can't wait to get this phone in my hands. I can't see it on UPS yet does anybody know where these ship from?
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Lol no. I meant UPS.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Welcome dude! Congrats on the purchase.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
It's not that much bigger I have a G3 and soon a Nexus 6 whenever Motorola ships it. Here is a comparison of cases (both are Spigen Slim Armor)
[Nexus 6  General] ncraigtrn:
I haven't been this excites for a phone since the og RAZR v3
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
The number listed there for UPS is the corporate 800 number. Probably need to find a direct number to find someone who has answers at that location.
[Nexus 6  General] nutmonkey:
Welcome to the anxiety forum! you know your in the right place if you check back here at least 5 times a day hoping to see "got my shipping notification" and/or check your bank account at least 3 times a day for a new charge from google and/or you type meaningless replies like this talking about this mythical unicorn we call neXus6
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
How about this number?
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
That one will probably get you in the door. Ending in 4000, I think that's just a main number for the office. Would have to get routed to someone who has loose lips. I'm not man enough to even try to be honest.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Welp! This, thankfully, is the headquarter thread of absolute Nexus 6 desperation. Someone will do it.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
I hope so, the sooner I get some answers the better. If they just told me that it was shipping out on the 21st for sure, I would be okay with waiting. But it's hard to sleep with the hope that it might ship out the next day.
[Nexus 6  General] ncraigtrn:
How about reading reviews hoping to glean any new fun facts to dream about as you wait.

I will say att made the whole process feel the way a preorder should. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] warrenbert:
I just loaded Lollipop onto my nexus 7 to hold me over for a couple of weeks. The 6 is gonna be sweet!
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
Looking at last years purchase of the Nexus 5, Google was pretty much on point on shipping date per first email confirming the order. Example I ordered on 10/31/13, email with confirmation of order said shipping date 11/8/13. Even the Nexus 4 purchased on 11/27/12 shipped 12/4/12. Trust me Google will not ship sooner than what's on your order history, especially with orders not being met since pretty much all carriers will be selling including Best Buy. Everyone take a chill pill, losing sleep over a phone ain't going to make Google change their shipping date. Don't believe me check your previous order history if you've purchased other Nexus devices in the past. Proof is all there.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
Shipping status on the emails says "Leaves warehouse in 2-3 weeks." Not a specific date, pretty sure that's for people who ordered on 10/29 and 11/5.
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
I ordered on 11/5/14 and it clearly shows leaves warehouse on 11/21/14. I took a picture using my phone from my laptop showing you the date of shipping.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
I was referring to this part, the email didn't mention a specific date. But yeah, I know that date well.
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
Right although the email does say 2-3 weeks the order history provides a specific date.
[Nexus 6  General] Bucky Barnes:
And the Nexus Player shipped early, as did my Nexus 5. The confirmation email isn't always 100% accurate. Mind you, I'd say people should temper their expectations, but it's not unheard of if it ships early
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
In fact, it would seem that to be the rule rather than the exception based on prior Nexus launches.
[Nexus 6  General] vandizzam:
I don't like this guy but he speaks truth. If you want a hint about when you're device will ship just look at your receipt where it says 11/21 or later for some.
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
Exactly my point.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Lol the truth hurts.
[Nexus 6  General] davep1982:
Ordered mine Monday. Shipped on Tuesday. Arrived this afternoon. Loving it
[Nexus 6  General] axman92:
Keep refreshing the tracking page. It took a few hours for anything to show up, but the package origin is showing up as Louisville, KY.
[Nexus 6  General] NCtwin:
Patiently waiting for my 64GB from T-Mo. I ordered 12/30, so hopefully I'll hear something soon...
[Nexus 6  General] stevemw:
I paid in full. My contract ended years ago and I have no desire to be bound to any carrier for one or two years. I know that the monthly payment option can be terminated simply by paying off the balance but it increases the amount of paperwork on T-mo's part
[Nexus 6  General] aerichards1977:
I ordered a white 32GB from Motorola on 1/7 Wed night and it shows it cleared customs this morning. Looking back, it looks to be here next Mon/Tue. So excited.
[Nexus 6  General] nutpn:
Blue 64 gb

I just got my wife's blue 64gb nexus6 yesterday and she has been wanting a device with micro SD card support instead of Nexus 6 and last night got an email from Samsung on their developer device for VZW so now 64gb nexus 6 will be sold and to top that I have for my Nexus 6 - 4 mime glass screensavers ordered and a beetle case I'm using. Just listed my Nexus 6 -64gb with Swappa.com
[Nexus 6  General] ggmask:
Mine shipped from Earth City, MO, anyone have info on why that is? These phones are all manufactured in Shenzhen CN I believe, I am curious about the manufacture date considering it is shipping from a place other than where it was made. Is there a manufacture date listed somewhere on the phone?
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
They don't ship from factories. They are built by Motorola (or whoever manufactures for Motorola) then shipped to be distributed. Stock will be allocated to each country's play store distribution centre(s), carriers etc
[Nexus 6  General] Acreo Aeneas:
I just ordered a 32 GB Cloud White. I've been waiting for a 64 GB Midnight Blue to come in stock, but after 1.5 months, I'm done waiting. They'll probably not get any decent quantities of the 64 GB version for several more weeks. I'll just watch my local media on my tablet (and transfer it from my N6 to the tablet as storage fills). Moto Store gave me Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015 as a arrival date. Hopefully I get a tracking number. Anyone know if they ship via FedEx or UPS?

You're probably wondering why I ended up going with Cloud White. I have purchased a dbrand metallic skin that I plan on applying to back. The silver/chrome aluminum accent is far more appealing to me than the midnight blue/purple-ish aluminum accent. Then slap a case over the back: the Ringke Max. Had a Ringke Slim with my old Moto G (1st gen.) and loved it. :)
[Nexus 6  General] ryancell:
I got my order yesterday. Havent gotten on here because I have been tweaking the phone. LOVE IT so far! I ordered on the 7th, it showed it shipped the 9th in the AM and I got it on the 9th at 6pm. Basically same day shipping, unless it got loaded up on the 8th and already was in transit. Either way I'm happy. Great weekend fun.
[Nexus 6  General] mumaxe:
I have honestly lost all hope in Motorola's system. The Damn device is in the order history, with delivery date 1/7, yet here we are 1/10 and i have no phone. I guess its time to take a look at swappa.
[Nexus 6  General] rahsaanabdul:
My N6 will be on my door step Wednesday morning/evening according to my tracker. My N5 will be my teenie weenie back up!

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] tdawg00:
What does your tracking number say? I ordered on Friday and now I am scared on when I will get it.
[Nexus 6  General] nikola_st:
I also order it on friday and it says that it will be tommorow in my hands :).
[Nexus 6  General] r80ies:
Waiting is too hard.

I ordered my on 1/7 it says two days ago that it would be here 1/14. Checked today now it says 1/15. It feels like the last 5 minutes of school and you have your back pack on and one cheek on the seat.
[Nexus 6  General] keggz:
The wait is on.

Just ordered 64Gb version, in white. Shipping to central Australia form amazon.fr.

The great wait begins.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Two 32GB White models from Amazon France. Shipping to Australia.

I was going to get the 64GB because I really need it, but I figured that the price was still too steep (about $845AUD for the 64GB delivered); not enough phone for that price in my opinion. Also, there is an 80% chance I'll upgrade this phone by the end of 2015 anyway to either a new Nexus (or whatever will be the replacement) or I might stretch and leap onto the Xperia Z4 Ultra bandwagon. We'll see. So, 32GB for me it is. Hopefully that will be ok storage. The first time that I've ever purchased a device with the least amount of storage. Feels weird.

Good luck to those who have not yet received their phone!
[Nexus 6  General] dawgboy1783:
I placed an order for a blue 64 gb in my local t-mobile store on the 01/10/15 and received a shipped notification on 01/12/15 and the expected delivery date is 01/14/15 .......when I was on the phone with a t-mobile rep resolving a minor issue on my account I inquired about stock and availability on the 64 gb blue N6 when she said it is in stock I went straight to my local retail store and ordered one and now I'm impatiently awaiting it's arrival so I can play with my new toy!

:)
[Nexus 6  General] rkwhyte2:
I'm picking up my 64Gb MB from the UPS Store after work. I had it delivered there because I'm never home when the delivery guys are working. Can't wait till the end of the day.
[Nexus 6  General] jerbeck24:
I'm still waiting on shipping of my white 64gb from Motorola. Delivery date was the 7th and still have heard/received no shipping notification... Still says January 7th as delivery date in their site.
[Nexus 6  General] mumaxe:
Same here. called em and they said they are loading a shipment to fed-ex. no dice on the actual delivery tho
[Nexus 6  General] tusing:
Moto vs Play?

Does Moto allow us to choose shipping speed?

What about the Play Store?

Also, is the tax on the Moto store higher than the Play store? (10% on Moto store)

That's a staggering $70 of tax on a 64 GB model.
[Nexus 6  General] jerbeck24:
My tax was $42...not 10%.

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

They are loading a shipment? Maybe we will get lucky? Kind of ridiculous to be a week late and have no idea what to tell us... They also told me a week ago that they were shipping 32gb phones in 64gb packaging? They needed to open my order to make sure that it was indeed a 64gb before shipping it to me. Seems kind of weird to me... Quality control issues!
[Nexus 6  General] nikola_st:
I got my yesterday :D
[Nexus 6  General] mumaxe:
Well, this morning got an Email with FedEx shipping and delivery estimate of 1/16 before 10:30 am. its currently in Hong Kong, ill be asking my phone for future travel references to that place...
[Nexus 6  General] ns713:
I ordered mine Monday morning and I got the same email from FedEx this morning. January 16th by 10:30am.
[Nexus 6  General] mumaxe:
you lucky ****, I've been practically crying since i'm leaving the us the 17th and Moto was taking sooooo long to deliver.
[Nexus 6  General] jerbeck24:
What did you guys order? Was it a 64gb white? Mine was supposed to come back on the 7th...
[Nexus 6  General] dawgboy1783:
Well picked up my N6 64 GB today didnt open it yet because I just discovered the thread about the screen burn in/ image retention issues now im kinda scared because I don't know if a software update will fix it.
[Nexus 6  General] mumaxe:
You must be... new to Amoled i assume, there is no such thing as a software update that will fix a screen type issue. If the only thing it takes for you to think twice about your new phone is something preventable by yourself, then maybe this phone isn't for you? Now please do note this is just an opinion, you may do as you wish, i had my nexus 6 since yesterday and i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it right away since I've never had any bad experiences with nexus'es besides poor battery life on the N5.

Enjoy your new device please, its awesome as fcuk.

(Also, didnt post yesterday but i got my phone one day before Fed-ex estimate delivery. 64Gb MB and its sleek, gorgeous and sexy, i hope to see you all in the Rom threads :D )
[Nexus 6  General] OGMCVilleTC:
Ordered mine this morning from T-Mobile. Just talked to the web team and mine will be here tomorrow morning. They apparently have a ton in stock. Plan on popping a Verizon SIM card in and canceling the T-Mobile service.
[Nexus 6  General] 903tex:
Thinking of getting n6. What's the best way to get it. Either going to use it on Verizon or switch to gophone. Is the SIM card a micro sim?
[Nexus 6  General] OGMCVilleTC:
It's a nano SIM. I ordered mine from T-Mobile. Talked to Verizon and they said they would give me a SIM card for it. It came in today so I plan on going to Verizon on my lunch break.
[Nexus 6  General] altimax98:
As for the "burn in" I havent yet seen anyone with really really awful burn in. which is weird because it happens on day 1 usually, but a month or 2 later it isnt any worse. It seems to get to a point and then stay there.

And I can go to my local BestBuy and take a pic of a Note 4 there that has some really really awful burn in, worst Ive seen in a long time
[Nexus 6  General] Oniska:
Bought mine here in Denmark at 9 January, where the store had a lot of them on storage and only in 64 Gb. "3" is the only official operator that sells the Nexus 6. The phone will cost me 23,38 dollars (150 Kr) in 30 months :)
[Nexus 6  General] royalemint:
Friggin awesome. grats on your new phone. Is the one in Denmark XT1100 or XT1103?
[Nexus 6  General] C0dy:
I ordered a 32GB Midnight Blue from Motorola on Jaunary 16th. It's the 20th and it still hasn't shipped. The wait is killing me!
[Nexus 6  General] sigma24:
How long Play Store will take to restore the supply?

I want to buy one more and present it as a gift to my friend but this time trying to buy directly from Play Store. But even from so long I have seen it is out of inventory?
[Nexus 6  General] C0dy:
On the Google Play Store page it says they get new stock on Wednesday, but even then they sell out quickly.

To the people that ordered from Motorola, how long did it take for Motorola to actually ship the phone out from time of purchase?
[Nexus 6  General] aerichards1977:
The first one I bought on a Wed night and had the following Mon. The second one I ordered last Tue night but hadn't shipped yet.
[Nexus 6  General] jtorress:
My wife was happy about it. I get the Nexus 6 she gets a red Droid Turbo. :)
[Nexus 6  General] tosainuu:
Ordered mine tonight...can't wait!!!
[Nexus 6  General] ErylFlynn:
Got my unicorn ordered! 64gb White yesterday afternoon. Got to say the key is running a stock checker app that checks every minute. And don't delay,told coworker who came to me with an issue bad time, go away!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Why is this so intentionally difficult at three months in? If Google and Motorola doesn't want to make any of these or make a limited run, how hard is it to just explain that to people. The silence is what infuriates me most.

I still don't have a Midnight Blue 64GB. How many others are tired of showing up Wednesday and winding up empt
[Nexus 6  General] JRP84:
I ordered my phone early last Tuesday morning (2am EST time) via Motorola. Still has not even shipped yet. CS keeps giving me the runaround saying that they are waiting for the tracking number from FedEx (they have been saying this since Monday morning... My patience is being tested..

here is the latest transcript from motorola.

Karla: I do see that the order is in process, the expected delivery is for the 23rd, however, due to the high volume of orders there are some items that have gone out of stock and that has caused some delays.

Karla: Unfortunately At this moment the order hasn't been shipped yet

Karla: We do know our warehouse is doing their best to have everything in stock as soon as possible, the dates hasn't been updated yet, but we are expecting to have some updates by the end of the week.

John: OK, so it hasn't even shipped yet?

Karla: At this moment it hasn't shipped. As soon as the item is picked up by FedEx you will receive a confirmation email with the tracking information

John: I seem to get a different story every time I log in here, first it was that FedEx has the phone and you are waiting on a tracking number..

Karla: I'm really sorry about this. I'm not sure why you were advised about that, but the package hasn't been sent yet

John: how long do I have until I can cancel?

Karla: Since the order has been exported into the system already, we are not able to make any updates or cancellations on the order.

John: So, your basically holding my money hostage?

Karla: We haven't processed the charge yet. Once the order is created, the money is placed on hold by your bank, once the item is sent, then we process the payment

John: I really don't understand how a manufacturer doesn't have the phones in stock, 3 t-mobile stores around here have stockrooms full of them, and according to the managers you guys keep sending them more orders every week... way to drop the ball...
[Nexus 6  General] jerbeck24:
I got the run around for a couple of weeks after I was supposed to receive my phone from Motorola. One day I came home and had a missed delivery from FedEx. It was my phone and I got a shipping notification a couple of days after I received it.
