just called my local Sprint corporate store and got confirmation they have several units on stock, ready for launch tomorrow

at least I'll stop by after work and play with the demo unit for first impressions [emoji52]

every body and their mother is pulling ahead of playstore orders
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
I called 2 Corporate Sprint (Not my carrier) locations and they refuse to sell outright...WOW kinda sucks lol oh well.
[Nexus 6  General] Johnabis:
Did they confirm if it was blue 32gb only? or did they have 64gb available in white and blue?
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
Except that Sprint stores just got an internal memo that pushed their launch back to the 17th, so whoever you talked to was not informed. The phone will b available for drop ship ordering, but not actually be able to be sold at the location physically. Here's the proof.

Another Delayed Launch
[Nexus 6  General] rock7632:
This is 100% correct
[Nexus 6  General] LymeWire:
We can start selling them as soon as we get them in stock starting tomorrow so if the store he called actually got some in they can sell it on Friday, my store didn't get any in today and doubt we will until next week
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Just got an alert: "PURCHASE GOOGLE *Devi GOOGLE COM CH CA" It's pending so take it with a grain. Purchased on 10/29 from GP.
[Nexus 6  General] InGeNeTiCs:
Holy ****. I just got a paypal notification that 761 from google was deducted from my account! WOOOOOOOO
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
When did you order?
[Nexus 6  General] androidi10:
Just got a bank notification. Google charge
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
Even i got notification from my Amex Credit card which i used for preorder on play store on 10/29. Exact amount gets posted in pending transaction. Got sms for it. Although my wallet order is still showing pending. I think it will change to shipped by tomorrow. Very hopeful.
[Nexus 6  General] androidi10:
October 29

From Play Store
[Nexus 6  General] InGeNeTiCs:
Launch Day. Oct 29. Also from play store.
[Nexus 6  General] boynamedstacy:
Yup, me too. Transaction processing from Google. order placed on the 29th. 64gb white
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
Brace yourselves guys. That day is not too far. I am getting excited already.
[Nexus 6  General] InGeNeTiCs:
64gb blue here.
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
Looks like the first round is going out.....I did 11/5 and no change yet
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
Great to hear guys! I ordered from Motorola, but still glad to hear shipments have initiated! Hope we get our shipments going tomorrow!
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
mines charged too! hopefully shipped
[Nexus 6  General] liftedkilt:
Same here - I wonder how much longer it will be until the 11/5 orders start getting charged. :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] homerunbm33:
Same here. Ordered 10/29. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Just got charged. 64GB White, 10/29, Wells Fargo Debit
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
I'm hoping later tonight...fingers crossed
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Just received an email from AMEX for a large purchase alert. $714 GOOGLE CHECKOUT SELLER

Checked my Amex online and I see the charge pending. This is the first time I have seen it since it fell off from the initial purchase on 10/29. I have checked every day since it fell off.

Checked Google Play and saw no change in the status but I am pretty confident now that this is the real deal.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
i got my pending charge recharged yesterday. but seems has fallen off already. i wonder if its going to show up as a charge
[Nexus 6  General] boynamedstacy:
This is the first time I've had a charge reappear and it's been deducted from my balance. Good sign
[Nexus 6  General] liftedkilt:
My fingers are crossed as well :fingers-crossed: , although I'm thinking that if they were going to charge them tonight, there's no real reason to not charge them all simultaneously. :(
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
From personally working on large financial software systems I can tell you that it makes sense to run them in batches
[Nexus 6  General] twofourturbo:
So check this out.. I placed my order the first 5 minutes Motorola opened for orders. I just checked my bank account and I had the full amount pulled the Nov 7th for a 64gb blue model.. Motorola still says it hasn't shipping, no email, or anything. Money has been gone since then and nothing yet.. Anyone else in the same boat?
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
Yes. Moto charges immediately. Not when it ships like Google Play.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
That's the way motorola works, they take the money out first then ship after. The difference is Google Play waits to ship before they charge you.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Sweet. I also have a temp charge from Google Devices. Ordered on 10/29. Hope this means something.
[Nexus 6  General] liftedkilt:
I can only hope that you are correct.
[Nexus 6  General] madj42:
I was in the 11/5 batch and I have the same ship date as the 29th batch (11/21). I'm hoping they ship mine the same time as the first batch. Here's to hoping we all receive it tomorrow. :D
[Nexus 6  General] jayq:
11/5 here too and no charge yet dont worry more then sure in the next few days we will get charged.
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
I was just charged as well. Ordered on 10/29. My credit card was declined due to fraud reasons but google wallet let me add another payment method.
[Nexus 6  General] hisdigness:
Whelp, pending charge just popped back up on my Chase card. Order 10/29.
[Nexus 6  General] Qbancelli:
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] twofourturbo:
Thanks for the heads up
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
I'm hopeful we see some movement for 11/5 orders as well. Would be nice if they got them all out tonight. Keep us up to date nevertheless guys. Seems like some of us will have Nexuses (Nexii?) pretty soon.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
I'll be damned new charge on my account from google.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
Placed an order on November 2nd. 32gb white. No charge yet for me...?
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Wonder what the chances are of us who chose next day shipping getting them tomorrow if they are shipping tonight. Or are we looking more toward Monday.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Got got a fresh hit on my credit card also.....

Too soon??
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
When did you order?
[Nexus 6  General] nutmonkey:
Just charged via gp
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
11/5 order here. Charge just appeared on my Chase account.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
11/5 order on google play. I was just charged as well.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
i just got hit again. its under pending transactions
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
I've never been so happy to see my available balance go down, lol. :D
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
You Canadians stealing our US stock :P j/k
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
You're the man.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
10/29
[Nexus 6  General] liftedkilt:
11/5 Just got charged GOOGLE *Devices
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
Still pending on mine [emoji29]
[Nexus 6  General] madj42:
Well, I didn't have to wait long. I was just charged too. Yay!
[Nexus 6  General] toyfreak:
Same here. Order last 4 are 04xx and was placed early on 6th.
[Nexus 6  General] harajuka:
Just got a Pending charge on my Citibank Card. Ordered 11/5
[Nexus 6  General] ssgtob1:
Mine is citi too....but mine has always been pending
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
same here but in a pending transaction. should go in as a full charge depending on who you used.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
Moto charges immediately. Google charges when they ship.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Forget my bank, now i keep refreshing on UPS.com looking for a tracking number! LoL Last time I ordered a Nexus 5, it shipped at like 1:30AM on a Thursday, and it was delivered that same Thursday at 11:30AM! (And it was only 2-day shipping, not overnight)
[Nexus 6  General] One3OneKing:
11/5 just charged here. I would say this means nothing as charges were dropped and re-appeared many times during the n4 fiasco. This time, with masses of simultaneous charges this has to mean phones are going out tonight. No doubt.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Lol. I couldn't help it. I literally can see the US from my window and the pre orderes are not even up here yet. Plus technically I was born there. Lol. So I'm still one of you. Lol. :p
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
If the charge hits me tonight I'll be happy (11/5 order)
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
Guys it charges and than it'll disappear it did that for me at first. Not until anyone gets email showing tracking number can we all than get excited lol. Mine was ordered on the 5th and 6th, it was charge red than disappeared and it reflected again and its been like that since.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
By reference number or what???
[Nexus 6  General] One3OneKing:
Sign up for UPS MyChoice, if you can they'll alert you as soon as the label is made and before Google sends out the email.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Already done. :D
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Last one said Pending Authorization in my online bank account. This one says Pending Charge.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
I will be checking my account obsessively tonight. I am hoping to get it tomorrow with the 1 day shipping.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
im still kinda skeptical until i seen a Perm charge on my account. its weird. how it got hit yesterday. with a diff name. then today again with google devices
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Was that an option when you bought it? The only fastest shipping choice I remember seeing was for 2 day.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
My guess is it will continue pending auth or charge until it ships. Many pre orders have been like this for me on other electronics.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
Well the initial preauth charge should be from Google Devices. I reckon the second one was with a different name and was another check to ensure funds are present after one week. Since this one is Google Devices again, I think it will be permanent charge to account.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Yeah, it was $18.99
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
Yes i opted for 1 business day shipping. Charged 18.99$
[Nexus 6  General] Euler MD:
You guys should really read the first post.

Play Store - Google will be shipping by or on 11/21 using UPS—card-related "abnormalities" are normal occurrences, it's only confirmed once it's shipped.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
this will be my 3rd hit. lol that sounds kinda bad haha
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
Google devices is an authentic preauth then charge when they prep to ship. The temp refund is the preauth falling off your account. Google does it to make sure you don't get double charged when they ship in case your bank is still holding funds from your original charge.
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
just checked my choice on UPS. I have a delivery set for tomorrow!
[Nexus 6  General] hockeyman12c:
11/5 order. No pending charges of any sort. Amazon Visa CC.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
Screen plz
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Yea I chose overnight shipping also for the 18.99 charge.
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
here it is
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Yes I also got that option.
[Nexus 6  General] beyoung90:
I also got a pending charge on my AMEX just now for 709 from google !!!

And I placed my order on Nov. 5th ... My other order from same day with a ship by date of the 26th has not been charged yet ...
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
looks like its coming from omaha nebraska. I havent ordered anything else and this wasnt there a few hours ago
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
Just checked my account, nothing yet. Going to give the dog a bath and hopefully, when I come back, I will have a UPS delivery scheduled.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Awesome. Here's hoping.
[Nexus 6  General] rdcamero:
Nothing here yet.Ordered 11-5.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
That's not the Nexus 6. Google Play handset orders ship under the name in the pic I attached (Obviously not the amazon one, the one underneath it)
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Play Store items ship from Louisville KY
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
You just had to kill it didnt you
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
So you admit you were trolling everyone? Not cool.
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
no im not trolling anyone, i meant kill my mood/excitement. im still hoping its it though! Like i said i didnt order anything else but well see

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

I dont think its impossible to see it ship from somewhere else other than kentucky...no one else has any mychoice notifications?
[Nexus 6  General] jayq:
Check your charge if it says Google* Devices then you should be golden if it says Google* and looks like a app service then theyre probably just using it as a placeholder to see that your credit card can be charged.
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
i paid for next day shipping so maybe its being handles by a different warehouse?
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
mine says google devices under a pending charge. but not holding my breath until i get my tracking lol
[Nexus 6  General] beyoung90:
Mine says Google Checkout Seller
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
FDR-ECR AUTOMATED is American Express. They are sending you a new card for some reason (Google it)

UPS Worldport is in Louisville KY. UPS Supply Chain Solutions is around the corner from the UPS Worldport in Louisville KY. UPS-SCS does fufillment for Google Play Store orders. It will ship from Louisville KY. I will bet my N6 against your N6 that I am positive on this.
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
Lol I'm not that confident. You could be right. I googled FDR-ECR Automated and a lot of "preorder" **** comes up for other phones. meh i guess well see
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
Mine says Google Devices.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
oh, and i am sorry, i didn't mean to kill your buzz. I just don't want everyone to get false hope. I've been through this with every Nexus phone (except the Nexus S which I didnt own).

Ironically, The only one that came via FedEx was the Galaxy Nexus, and it shipped from Indiana.
[Nexus 6  General] jayq:
Just got my Google Devices pending chage on my cc also :) hoping like hell its going togo through.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
You just posted on the last page for everyone to reread your first post, and not get our hopes up. But now since you got the same pending charge, its okay to get your hopes up? ;)
[Nexus 6  General] innisdb:
It's all good. I just feel let down everyday that this damn phone doesn't get shipped :( lol
[Nexus 6  General] DrexelDragon:
Awww yeah, just got charged too! "Google Checkout Seller".
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
this phone better be worth it after all this non sense
[Nexus 6  General] beyoung90:
Anybody know why some are getting "google devices" charges and some "google checkout seller "?
[Nexus 6  General] DrexelDragon:
Not sure but I know checkout seller is legit and not some weird temp authorization like the ones before. I've had this charged to me before with the Nexus 5, etc...
[Nexus 6  General] Bales75:
I googled it. Looks like the people ordering the Nexus 7 back in 2012 saw this exact same notification in My Choice.

http://androidforums.com/nexus-7-2012/577570-shipping-date-speculation-3.html#post4637743
[Nexus 6  General] slider112:
My account was just charged within the last 5 min.

Google*Devices, Ordered 11/5 from GP, 64GB Midnight Blue. Original ship date of 11/21

Hot damn. :D
[Nexus 6  General] Bucky Barnes:
To clarify, are these actual withdrawals or just temps?
[Nexus 6  General] jayq:
No i said on my last post that if it says Google*Devices then you should be golden. Ive been charged previously twice under Google*some app name and it dissapear previously before. Someone said in the thread before that for some credit cards Google would use a charge from a app as a placeholder. It says on the Google store they wont charge until your device is getting sent. So being charged from Google*Devices is a sign that they are finally charging me for my phone and its beinf sent. Im hoping it will go through and not get flaggged as fradulant due to being charged by Google over three times now. Hence why i said i hope it goes through.
[Nexus 6  General] beyoung90:
I thought that's what I had when I got my nexus 5 way back last year lol ... I could not remember hope this thing gets here soon I paid for next day delivery !
[Nexus 6  General] donatom3:
Most likely UPS considering it appears their fulfillment center is actually housed and managed by UPS, just like Sprint and a few others.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
I don't understand guys that wanted 64 and ordered 32?

just cancel that 32gb order, and wait until you snatch your 64 in you preferred color too, this phone will be everywhere at the end if the month, is not worth to settle for anything less than exactly what you want, no?
[Nexus 6  General] A-Gon:
I am currently using a Moto x, 16 gb. I ordered 3 on Wednesday. One after another, Ba-Bam... All 32 gb. Why do you need the 64 gig? Use the cloud, google drive, drop box, it's the 21st god damn century!!I will be home no matter which day my order arrives. :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] thrillerbee:
If I didn't have unlimited data, I might be more inclined to wait on a 64GB version.
[Nexus 6  General] Mooem7:
Well some people might need a phone sooner rather than later. There's that possibility that the 64 GB model may be more scarce and may have a longer shipping time. At least so far it seems the 64GB models go out much much quicker.

Also at least in my case, I could go either way. It would be nice to have the 64 GB but I wouldn't mind with just having 32GB if I get it in my hands quicker. Phone storage has never been an issue for me so either would be plenty.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Its pretty BS that T-mobile gets them before we do
[Nexus 6  General] A-Gon:
Use to have the UDP for the family. Now we are on the 4 gig plan. I mean why waste money? And the world did not end!! There's wifi almost everywhere. Lots of folks work from home now too. Even when I streamed audio when I traveled I came no where close to using much data. This isn't targeted at you, but why do people make such a big damn deal about the UDP? It's like the world is gonna come to an end if they don't have it anymore. Really? I need to keep my UDP or else? LOL. It's crazy how childish and greedy people have become.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Yea, but I'd rather have a carrier that I can get a signal on and wait for my N6 then be with them.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
What?

I have my N6 preordered with Google that will ship on 11/21

T-mobile release them next Wednesday.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
I can't speak for everyone, but the way I looked at it was this... I, of course, wanted 64 because for only $50 more, why not? At the same time, I'd also like to get the phone ASAP, and considering demand is obviously higher for the 64, that means less chance to get one until it becomes widely available, which could take who knows how long. I was monitoring pages yesterday trying to get a 64, but I had no luck; I did come across a 32, and in that split second, I figured I'd be stupid not to at least lock that in for myself for now.

Assuming they don't ship earlier than expected, I'll see if I can get a 64 next week, and then cancel my 32. But I should be fine with 32 if that's what I'm stuck with. It would be nicer to have more capacity, just for the heck of it (and again, it's only $50 more), but it's not necessarily worth the extra wait to me.
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
Same with me. 64GB would have been nice, but I've been fine with my 16GB Nexus 5 for the past year... So double the storage ain't bad. Plus have a 64GB USB-OTG flash drive if need be.

And yea, the 64 GB models seemed to be selling out in 2 seconds yesterday.
[Nexus 6  General] GCahill:
UPS generally leaves packages on my front door which I'm okay with. Never had any issues but people keep talking about having to sign. Is Google shipping these out with signature required?
[Nexus 6  General] michaelnel:
I'm betting 11/21 is the absolute soonest it will ship. The way the Big G is handling this, it would not surprise me if it is later than that.
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
I've ordered four separate Nexus devices (not counting the N6) from Google so far, and every single one has shipped before the initial date given on the order. One of them initially said 2-3 weeks, and shipped the following day. Those dates are ESTIMATES, and historically, they've been VERY safe estimates, meaning that Google puts out dates that are absolute worst case. It's far better to ship early than ship late, and Google has used that philosophy forever.

That said, this isn't a perfect world, and things happen. I'm sure that there have been times where an item shipped later than the initial date. I'm just saying that those instances are very, very rare.

There's no evidence of that. See above. My bet is that those who got the initial shipping date of 11/21, and paid for next day shipping, will have them in their hands on Carrier Launch Day.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
I hope so. I ordered it yesterday and got 11/21.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Because I never saw a 64gb white yesterday or on the 29th. I have enough room on my credit card to try again next week. If I get one yea I will cancel the 32gb.

But my phone now is 32gb and I've had no storage issues for 2+ years. The white ones too are harder to come by.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
is it possible that any delay in shipping is not only for phone availability but issues on the software side of things, maybe Google is working on last min bugs on 5.0?

I have had issues with the new "material design" gmail app not synchronizing sometimes, who knows how many bugs Google engineers are still trying to fix last min before launch
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
I don't know whether Google's dates are "latest it will ship" or "soonest it will ship", but for what it's worth, those of us that preordered a Nexus Player have a status for that as "Leaves warehouse on 11/14", yet many people have started seeing their order ship out now. Pretty sure mine is even getting ready to ship, as the funds have been set to "pending" on my card again (they were "pending" when I first ordered, then that went away, now they're "pending" again).

Overall, I'd say it's "safer" to expect the 11/21 ship date to be accurate, because, well, then you'll be less disappointed. But given the current status of the Nexus Player, the Nexus 6 might ship out sooner than 11/21. Though, that also assumes the Player and the N6 come from the same warehouse, and everything. That could also be a factor.
[Nexus 6  General] bastienvans:
I was told by multiple google reps that the date is the latest it will ship. It can literally be any time before then.
[Nexus 6  General] michaelnel:
I agree that is probably a good indicator. On my N6/32/blue ordered 10/29 though, the auth dropped off and has not reappeared.

My N5 did ship the day after I bought it (ordered 12/2/13, shipped 12/3/13), but that wasn't purchased right at introduction. I doubt that scenario is in play this time around.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
So I think we're F'd. I spoke with Morgan M. on Google Playstore Support again. (for the record she told me yesterday that we'd see shipments starting either then or today) She back tracked quite significantly and said she can't provide me a date and that I should expect the phone to ship in 3 weeks. I'm so done with their horrid expectation setting. In the absence of actual information, she effectively lied to me, presumably to end the chat. I understand that these people have limited information and I should be taking each message with a grain of salt, but you shouldn't make bold, clear statements about shipping if you don't have that information in front of you or confirmed. Blood boiled.

/rant
[Nexus 6  General] leyvatron:
I have a google devices pending charge also. Had it since I ordered the phone on the 12th. Now, lets hope I get charged too.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
so far just temps atleast for me because my last few temps fell off. lets see if this one actually gets posted
