I placed my order over the telephone with CPW and was given the 26th October for delivery date. i rang them back this morning as i have not had any confirmation emails , cpw said this was normal for tele sales. i asked them to confirm delivery and the agent was now stating early November ! If anyone else is intrested in ringing and confirming this, i spoke to jake in the preston call center

The Nexus 6 was delayed. I'm not sure if you remember but pre orders started on 29 October 2014 and initially expected mid November but was delayed first to 1st December then to 8th December. You'll have gone in on the day the Nexus 6 eventually became available but for those who pre ordered the Nexus 6 from CPW like myself, we were faced with lack of information or incorrect and misleading information and delays by Google and Motorola. Some will recall that due to the delays and lack of supply, Google operated on a weekly basis for orders, on a Wednesday if I remember correctly and even then the variants available were few and far between and sold out quickly with the Play Store saying "coming soon" shortly after the order window was opened.

See here for article on delays: http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news...6_delayed_android_lollipop_problems_to_blame/

I'm talking from experience and I know some here will have had the same problems but of course, you're free to take whatever information you feel is accurate. If you search "Nexus 6 delays UK" you'll get lots of articles reporting on the delays.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Walking into a CPW on launch day was the ONLY way to get a N6 for me.

The google store sold out in mins and was broken for most of that peroid, then sporadically had stock here and there - so I couldn't pre-order it.

People have differing levels of what they feel "being mucked" looks like, and will have differing experiences based on how they ordered it.
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
My order is as a new contract - I decided to give up on O2 as whenever I go anywhere rural signal is always terrible whereas my GF on EE always seems to have data no matter where we are. Is anyone familiar with when my PAC code will be processed? If it's not before delivery there's a chance of it having expired as it's only valid until 5th Nov (Assuming the 22/10 delivery doesn't happen)
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
You usually get a SIM card with your new phone with a new number. You ring EE once you've got everything and ask them to transfer your old number over to EE. Usually takes 24 hours but more like a couple of hours.

[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Well on the order process via cpw website it asked for my old number and my PAC code - maybe it's just a generic process in which case if I don't get the phone until after the 5th I'll just ring O2 for a new one and do as you've said.
[Nexus 6P General] Cacker:
With marshmallow, Nexus 5 users are already seeing longer life, mainly from the Doze feature, so it's using less power when idle. Not sure if they've made it any more efficient whilst active. Screen was the biggest drain on my Nexus 6. But to be fair, on the Nexus 6 I found it lost very little battery life on Lollipop over night.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Some people on the Nexus 6P shipping waiting room thread are now getting dates on Google Store / Wallet when the handset will leave the warehouse....
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
I just want the 6p in graphite if cpw have the 6P on the 22nd then I'll try a walk in and get one but it would be the only phone company that let's cpw get the phone out to there customers before they do. It would be strange to see that, it's like apple or Samsung letting cpw release there new top handset before them...
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I bought the Note 4 on release day in CPW before any units had been sent out etc, again it's only certain stores that sell it sim free. I would buy it from the store but they're only selling the 32gb model which is rubbish.
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
Yeah, but Samsung had also released the phone to its other customers that's fine but Google are giving people between the 2-4 November in there own store but cpw are saying the 22nd of Oct.
[Nexus 6P General] marcadam:
Ordered my N6 from giffgaff on 3/12/14 had it in my hand the next day. I had a nightmare trying to buy my sim free G4 from CPW, the t*** of a salesman refused to sell me one because 'they needed the stock for contract sales'. Needless to say I walked away with a G4 but it put me off CPW for life.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Yeah, that's right. Only certain stores sell them sim free. You have to know which stores.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I've just checked my Play Store order and the estimated delivery date has changed to 28-30 October from 3-5 November. Anyone else got a change in delivery estimate?

The weird thing is that it only gives the 28-30 October date when I go into "order details" but in order history it still says 3-5 November.

[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
Mine remain the same, 28-30th Oct.
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
I've just heard it's gonna be the 25th December with a guy with a white beard.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I think the Oct date is when it will ship, and the Nov date is when you should expect delivery.
[Nexus 6P General] ref1ux:
Longing for the day when Google announces devices and makes them available for purchase on the same day, then hits or beats the shipping date.

Oh wait, that was 2013.

I don't like all this pre-order nonsense.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
+1 - This pre-order malarky really leaves a bad taste
[Nexus 6P General] monkfish_lad:
I disagree. The clue in the name is 'pre'. You are not ordering the device instead claiming one of the units once the device has properly launched. This helps Google manage their stock much more effectively than previous launches and hopefully people won't be chasing for devices in December and beyond this year.

Has anyone not received their device by there estimated delivery? No, as we haven't got to those dates yet. You have a right to complain and moan if Google mess up and miss your delivery dates but at the moment everyone just needs to sit back and relax.

From past experience the majority of you will all probably receive your phones before the estimated dates anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] keer-en:
My 32GB Aluminium + Adpoted clear frost case order placed in the evening of the 7th Oct has changed to pending this morning.
[Nexus 6P General] DerekC:
That's kinda odd I ordered mine on "Order date: Sep 30, 2015 7:52:43 PM BST" and mine still says pre-ordered and has a delivery date of Nov 3-5. I would love for it to come early but as long as its here by the 5th I can't really complain.
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
Mine has moved forward one day - now says 2-4 November. The status has changed from pre-order to pending though.

Re the earlier discussions about pre-authorised credit card transactions being cancelled, and the issues with declinations due to anti-fraud - I have just spoken to my bank (Nationwide), who told me that the pre-authorisation has indeed dropped off, but since I have already authorised Google Store on my card they will not do the fraud checks again when the payment is requested.
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Ordered mine on 29th September still pre order and delivery between 5-9 nov
[Nexus 6P General] GeobMcFly:
Pending this morning

ETA:*November 2 – 4, 2015
[Nexus 6P General] Kid_droid:
So my case and phone are pending. I don't know which will come first. Earliest date might be the 29th for me if they want to send it with the case at the same time. 2-4 November latest. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Hereisphilly:
My order from the 29th is pending with a delivery date of 28-30th Oct
[Nexus 6P General] PIPS:
I am currently on the old Three network's One Plan which I pay £15pm which is pretty much unlimited everything, including tethering. With that said it's being raised to £20pm this December.

Nexus 6P 32GB ordered for delivery around Nov 2nd, seems like a natural progression from my Nexus 5.

Unlimited mins/text + 3GB data = £25.19pm not bad of a deal.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Who was that with,do you have a link to the deal
[Nexus 6P General] PIPS:
Not sure what the rules are about posting external links.

Will send you a PM in a minute :good:
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
What provider is it with mate?
[Nexus 6P General] PIPS:
Its with 02.

Wife was with 02 last year so the signal is excellent at home and from people at work they have excellent reception at work.
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
I've gone to pending UK.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
I'm still preordered 3-5 Nov UK
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Yeah best signal around here to but definitely not sure about the 32gb tho
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
Looks like CPW is starting to despatch 5x orders! Let's hope same thing happens to 6p very soon :)
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
What were Carphone Warehouse's original release date of the 5x?

They stated 22nd for the 6P, are they shipping the 5x earlier/later/right on time of those original orders?

It'd be nice to know as a reference for the 6p & just how accurate they were. :)
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
CPW 5x expected delivery 19th of October
[Nexus 6P General] stennett:
Looks like ill be walking to CPW next Thursday and cancelling my Google Store order. Unless anything changes before then.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
I'm starting to believe them when they say the 22nd

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

That's what I ended up doing last year with my N6. Ended up getting it a day or two before Google store
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Only thing is they are only selling the 32gb models

So if like me wanting the 64gb we'll still be waiting
[Nexus 6P General] stennett:
I missed the first wave on the N5 on the play store so walked into CPW and got one on release day, no problems. (I skipped the N6)
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Did the same with the N5 too!
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
I got N4 from o2 and N5 from CPW. Skipped N6 as well. On OPO now.

Going back to support from both companies. I bought N4 from Google for my gf when it was for £159. Constant problems with phone and 3 or 4 replacements we got were faulty, got my money back in the end. So Google not perfect all the time ;)
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Fair point.
[Nexus 6P General] stennett:
Just tried chatting to Google. They can literally just tell you what it says in your google store account.
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
5x from CPW are getting tracking numbers with next day DPD delivery!! 3 days earlier! I want my 6p! ;)
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Fingers crossed us lot that pre-ordered 6Ps from them get similar treatment
[Nexus 6P General] next2devil:
I've ordered aluminium 64GB from unlocked-mobiles.com. They told me it will be shipped out in last week of October.

They didn't charge me sales tax as my delivery address is outside Europe.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Are Unlockedmobiles reliable? Kind of puts me off that all the other sim free phone website don't have their pre orders up but they do.
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
I hope so!
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
For those who managed to get their orders through so far - any tips? Did you not face problems during checkout - errors etc? I am struggling from last 20mins+

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

GOOGLE!
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
No problem at all mate sailed straight through process

Delivery estimate 3-5 November
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I think it's hit and miss at the moment. I've just gone back to the site and everything is loading fine. Had no problems at checkout other than my bank blocking the payment which was sorted and let me complete checkout.
[Nexus 6P General] manook:
Just for those having problems I used chrome on my phone so it displayed a mobile version of the site and had no problems at all. Just ordered a case separately and it went through fine as well
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
Thanks mate - trying through mobile as well but same error there.. :mad::crying:

Ordered mine, 128gb Aluminium.
[Nexus 6P General] PTM101:
Ordered 64GB Aluminium and Quartz case at around 18:25. Estimated delivery 28-30 Oct.
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Same here what's your estimated delivery?
[Nexus 6P General] milestoneman:
Ordered mine no issues about an hour ago

64GB Aluminium

Didn't go for black as most metal phones that are black seem to chip and scuff easy (iphones and HTCs)

But annoyed its November for delivery!!
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Google never learn mate ?

But we moan about it and still wait for the latest nexus year after year
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
Tip for those Struggling to Order

Right - top tip for those still struggling to order. I am sharing this because this just worked for me, proof below.

Sign out of Google Play Store (or Google in general, whatever browser you're using). Then navigate to Google Store in a fresh manner, go to the N6P product page, pick the one you like, add to basket, the usual.. Then click on 'Sign In and Checkout'. Enter your Google Password (and 2FA, if enabled). Vola - you'll be on the checkout page straight away! Worked first time for me this trick, after struggling for half an hour, trying both mobile and web checkout.

Now the wait...

Cheers!
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
It's been better than previous years when we haven't known when it was going to go live in the play store. You just had to check about 6pm every night until it appeared.
[Nexus 6P General] manook:
I skipped the last gen of nexus devices because of the bad ordering experiences the year before. Currently got an s6 but battery isn't enough for me so hopefully this'll be a bit better
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Last year was the worst ever launch i ended getting one from giffgaff

Just got to wait on Google delivering now hopefully before November :)
[Nexus 6P General] DaveHTC200:
Ordered 64gb in graphite just after live event finished :D
[Nexus 6P General] mezzyg:
Are the funds taken out straight away or when its dispatched?
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
It's interesting that in previous years they have waited till the new device ships so they can say it's the first device with the new OS, but older devices will be upgraded from next week, so by the time the new ones ship, they may have fixed a few of the initial bugs.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

In the past it's been when dispatched. You may see a pre-auth on your account now though.
[Nexus 6P General] mezzyg:
Thanks

Any news if any resellers are going to stock the phone. Like they did with the nexus 6
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
This happened to me too. Two different cards got declined twice. About half an hour later I got a text then a phone call from Nationwide to confirm the transaction, then had to put it through again. If I've missed the top of the queue with earlier deliveries I shall be mighty annoyed!!

My delivery date says 2-4 November - has anyone had earlier than this?
[Nexus 6P General] xdaman85:
Yep, a friend got an email from cpw that his 5x will be delivered tomorrow (16th), which is 3 days before the expected date they showed on their website. On that basis, I'm hoping I get my 6P on the 19th, even if that's unlikely, the 22nd will still be good. The best we can hope for is it's not delayed beyond the 22nd.
[Nexus 6P General] next2devil:
This is the first time I've ordered through them. Before placing the order I spent few hours reading their reviews online.

I did find some negative reviews... but they were all dated 2012-13. Haven't found any negative stuff for recent dates. I hope they have worked upon and improved their services. One thing I am sure is... they've been around for a long time.

I wanted 64GB nexus 6p and they were the only one that I found who allowed pre-orders. My transaction on creditcard was pending for a week and yesterday the amount was deducted from the card. I sent them few emails and they responded within an hour. They've confirmed to me 64GB international variant will be stocked by last week of October and it will be sent out asap. The best part... I am from NZ and they did not charge me any UK VAT tax, which makes the phone cheaper for me than directly ordering in NZ (when available).

However, just to be on safer side, I have taken screenshots of their site and payment details and transactions. In case if they mess up things, I can use these screenshots and emails for raising a dispute with my Bank.
[Nexus 6P General] Malc1975:
Just wish o2 would hurry up and allow preorders

My contracts up for renewal and I like the refresh option from o2 direct
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
To the others that have Pre-ordered via CPW.....

Just wanted to check with the rest of you that you have only got 2 emails(?):

1) Your Order Acknowledgement:

"We've received your order

This is to confirm we have received your order and will be processing it shortly. Please keep a record of your transaction number (it's below). It will help us find your order quickly if you need to contact us if you have a query regarding your order

What happens next?

As soon as your order has been processed and accepted we’ll send you a confirmation email to let you know it’s on its way. This will include how to track your order with our delivery partner."

2) Order Out Of Stock

"Dear Customer,

The order you placed through www.carphonewarehouse.com is currently out of stock.

What happens next?

Once the stock has arrived at our warehouse, we will dispatch your order as soon as possible. This can take up to 14 days

Once the order has been dispatched you will receive confirmation by email. You do not need to do anything"
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Where did you see this ? I have an order with them for a N6p so I guess they might ship after Monday
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Yes they're the only emails I received from them, the next thing you should get from them is the dispatch notification with the DPD tracking info - there's no way to track your order progress from the website but you could always give them a ring to see if they can give any more information about when stock will arrive.

It's in the N5x UK orders thread over on its forum. Looks like several guys have had their shipping notification - It would be great if we got ours dispatched on Monday!
[Nexus 6P General] doug143:
I have the exact same emails from CPW. Hopefully they ship when they say.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Yeah - we can but hope!
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
It's now looking like people won't be receiving their 5x's today after all, it seems that all the guys who had their shipping notifications have now received this:

I'm guessing CPW have held them back until the official launch date so we probably won't see ours until the 22nd.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Looking that way.

I'll be happy with the 22nd.

They have said the 22nd all along, so if that plays out - happy days.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
It's all looking a bit confused over @ CPW WRT N5X, One user on the N5X threads put this (he went into store earlier today):

I did go, they had two that had been delivered with no name, the guy even got them out and brought them to me.

But his colleague said they were waiting on DPD for mine :s

Very sheepishly said they deliver later in the day and it MAY be available later.

I might pop back on my way home.
[Nexus 6P General] wilbur-force:
I still have a date of early November based on play store order but I've just had a text advising me of a delivery on Monday - can't think of anything else e are waiting for .... Interlink delivery ?
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
Which phone have you ordered.
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
I hope that's true
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
Check your bank to see if your card has been debited!!
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
I think you'll be disappointed!
[Nexus 6P General] wilbur-force:
It's a 6p that's been ordered. I won't be disappointed but my son might be :)

I have a 6 - he is upgrading from a 5 with a shattered screen.

There is one other delivery that I have twigged it might be...... :)
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Has the amount been taken from your card yet?
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
It's dirt cheap to fix the panel. I dropped my N5 on a sidewalk about 2 months ago and trashed the panel. Landed flat on it pancake style.

Fixing the panel was inexpensive. It's actually nice to have a fresh oleophobic coating. I actually think the panel is slightly better than the original. They've probably got the manufacturing down to a science after almost 2 years of refinement.
[Nexus 6P General] wilbur-force:
I have two with broken screens. Where did you get replacements from ? If the price is good I may have a play for a spare phone ! :)
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I had someone do it for me, but it was cheap. I would imagine if you felt like buying the part and a heat gun it might be even cheaper.
[Nexus 6P General] Hereisphilly:
I've found that it's SO much easier to replace the cracked digitiser with a new digitser and LCD panel, so you don't have to mess around with a heat gun and then re-bonding them back together
[Nexus 6P General] bidoa:
Same here with the note 2, first replaced just the glass but it was less sensitive and had a gap between Lcd & glass. Go full screen replacement
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
The entire screen/digitiser assembly is ~£35 on eBay, I've just replaced my Girlfriends and the new screen is just as good as the original.
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
Just been to CPW and asked about 6p availability .

First response was I don't think we do them...

Hehe I said yes you do!

She was looking for LG Nexus 6p, I said its Huawei.

After she found it I was advised it will be available by 30th of November!!!! What?

The website is showing the same now!

WTF?
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
CPW have probably exhausted all their allocated stock.
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
I hope so. I hope current preorders will be delivered 22nd ! I am on live chat with them.
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
He said mine is expected around 22 of October!
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
He said your order is 'tracking' - I've never heard that word used without it being Dispatched.

Yet he said it wasn't Dispatched - hmm......
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
Yes, it is a bit weird ... But hey ho. Hopefully I will have it by the end of next week ;)

Or maybe it is despatched but on hold? Who knows...
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Could you share the link for web chat, I'm probably being blind but I can't locate it on their website.
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
You are not blind. I couldn't find a link I was looking for ages....

When you go on main website a pop-up window appears asking if you need help. That's how I got to it ;)

Let us know what they will tell you.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I think that's what he did, replaced the whole thing. It's definitely a new digitizer and panel. I think the panel is slightly better calibrated than the original.

If I wasn't going out of town the next morning and had to be at work that day I would have done it myself and not even looked into having a nearby place do it. But now that I see how cheap it was to have a shop fix it was worth it to get it back in an hour over lunch. And not waste my own time ordering the parts and fixing it.
