In my experience DPD are excellent as well. Parcelforce can be totally useless. The last few orders I've had through DPD the driver has shown up a few minutes before the time slot and sat in his van waiting until delivery time - that's why I'm hoping to have my 6P at 12:33 on the dot!
[Nexus 6P General] rryles:
UK Google Store Orders

So has there been any recent progress with 6Ps ordered through the Google store?

I wasn't super quick to order so I'm a few days behind, but I thought some people had "dispatched from warehouse by 26 October". Have they even moved beyond Pending?
[Nexus 6P General] iateyourmic:
Those who've got deliveries through ParcelForce, what are your tracking numbers? Are they the same as the Google Store's order numbers or generated elsewhere?
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Mines here, check the nexus communities on G+ photos taken from my nexus 6 sorry quality is average takennin a van

[MENTION=4962442]TeaSeaLancs[/MENTION] Ok, I got mixed up lol. Ironically, where I'm from there's a CPW on London Road, Oxford.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Gave up on ringing and just went down there... It's here! ????

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

They were also quite amazed lol first one thed sold
[Nexus 6P General] MusicArt1st:
.. and another one delivered from CPW
[Nexus 6P General] Rox598:
Guy is gonna message me if the 6P arrives in store.

It's cool having contacts lol

DPD are really scummy if you live in NI. No matter what you pay for they automatically downgrade the package to 2 day post no matter what the item is. Yet yodel and Dhl and parcel force get here next day no matter what so far in my experience.
[Nexus 6P General] ThEGr33k:
Sweet, at least we know now we don't have to wait! Another hour before mine turns up. Nooo, no jealous! :p
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Just gave cpw a call saying i should get an email today for delivery by tomorrow. Can i ask what time around did you guys get your emails
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Mine came through at 19:53 on Friday for my delivery today.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Mine arrived from mobiles.co.uk around 90 minutes ago. Playing about with it as it sets up. It's a thing of beauty, a real joy. I think I'm in love....
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
When did you order?
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Saturday cancelled my gplay order was told will get it by Mon or Tuesday
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
As excited as I am for receiving mine today it's a double edged sword - not being able to decrypt or start flashing custom ROMs as no developers have one yet!
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
I might phone them in a bit then - the live chat staff, whilst convenient, don't seem that knowledgeable. I tried speaking to them earlier and they told me they don't have the phone in stock or know when they're getting it
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Live chat is a waste of time! best to ring them but even then it sounds like a call center in another country.
[Nexus 6P General] riz157:
I was told I would get delivery today but now informed it will be tomorrow. Also awaiting confirmation email sms.
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
keep us updated m8:) will let you know also
[Nexus 6P General] belloni:
My local CPW doesn't even pick up their phone so I can check stock...
[Nexus 6P General] SuperHanss:
So jealous of all you CPW orderers right now lol. Get your act together elGoog. ;)
[Nexus 6P General] thefirstguyafterthatguy:
My phone arrived!!

Well, I've had it for about 2 hours now, and It's everything I expected and more!

It feels really good in the hand, similar to the feel of HTC One phones, with more bulk. I really like the weight of it, it genuinely feels Premium!

The phone is FAST too. This coming from a Note 4 user may not seem like much, but it is so smooth and quick. The camera is fast and takes great pics, though I agree that the stock app is lacking in features. I'm transferring my number over to my old one (will be ready by tomorrow) so I can't test out the phone as well as I would like, but I am really happy! Oh and the fingerprint sensor? works like a charm. Perfect placement and really fast. You will forget your phone had a lock screen soon enough!

I bought a Spigen case for it and it seems to be a really good fit. Not bulky enough to make it awkward to hold, whilst also providing enough grip to hold comfortably.

rating: 10 3/4 Daves (really good!)
[Nexus 6P General] Fredro:
unlocked-mobiles said they have the website updated by tomorrow with current information, whatever that means in practise.
[Nexus 6P General] belloni:
Just been on the phone, they're saying stores won't get delivery until tonight. I should receive mine tomorrow, as far as consistency between what they are telling customers, this is the worst i've come across.
[Nexus 6P General] ThEGr33k:
Is that all stores? Might be that they are saying that to cover their butts... The late deliveries can be 6pm onwards which is tomorrow really. I hate waiting so I feel for you. :(
[Nexus 6P General] Bazsty:
Well I called up a Carphone Warehosue store near me who told me that there was no stock coming to their store for a few weeks, however they said that another store nearby will be selling the phone with lots of stock spare for anyone to just walk in and buy the phone. I went to this store for it opening at 10:00am and was upset to find out that there weren't any for me to buy, but they had stock in the people who had ordered online and were coming to collect it.

Apparently there were only 18 phones left in stock in their warehouse for the ENTIRE UK. I was supposedly able to pay today and collect one of these store tomorrow, however by the time I decided what I wanted to do, those 18 phones got snapped up and the next delivery window was pushed back to November 3rd. :(

What a great start to the week for me! Why are Google taking so long to ship our phones?
[Nexus 6P General] belloni:
I think it was a sweeping statement yes. I said to them I don't mind waiting, it's their consistency I've got an issue with and people receiving their order before mine when they've ordered afterwards.
[Nexus 6P General] Sennfire:
Have we heard anything at all from Google regarding UK shipping for Play Store orders? I don't mind waiting a few extra days for the superior Google return policy, but if they're shipping all current stock to CPW and hanging us out to dry, I'd rather know sooner that later.
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
For those that did a "Click & Collect" @ CPW....

I haven't received any calls/emails from CPW to say my phone has arrived, but I went into the store on the off chance - and they had it out back.

Got my N6P in my hands now.

One of the staff tried to tell the guy that was serving me that he wasn't allowed to give it to me until the 30th Nov!!! - Needless to say I challenged that, and proved today was release day.
[Nexus 6P General] SuperHanss:
They seem to be shipping the accessories only via Parcelforce 24 hour. My 32gb aluminium 6P is pending still with the original delivery estimate of 28-30 October.
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
Just been in to Exeter CPW - they have none in stock, and he showed me their stock thing - none in their Wednesbury instant ship warehouse until 3rd November.
[Nexus 6P General] ThEGr33k:
Arg, yea that really sucks! Hope you hear something soon!
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
I'm pretty sure that everyone who works for CPW doesn't know their arse from their elbow!

Just been in to another branch, about 3 minutes walk, who assured me they could have one in by 30th October!

Branch managers in both shops.
[Nexus 6P General] xdaman85:
A lot of GPS and CPW discussion here so I thought I would give an update in regards to EE. Just got off the phone with them, as they gave a delivery date of 27th of October for the Graphite Nexus 6P. I was told that they haven't received any stock, and that it will most likely not be delivered tomorrow. I was also told that they don't know when they'll recieve stock but when they do, DPD will send a text. :(
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
sigh, yet more information from CPW that's different.

so Live Chat told me last night that it'd dispatch today for delivery tuesday, then this morning, it SHOULD dispatch today, if they receive stock.

I've now phoned them and have been told that they're not receiving stock until tomorrow and/or wednesday and it'll dispatch tomorrow and/or wednesday

They're really quite clueless.

I also hold Google/Huawei responsible for this because they clearly don't know how to keep themselves or stores stocked - sending one or two at a time to shops is ridiculous! I'm not an Apple fan by a long shot, but this doesn't seem to happen with iPhones - their website doesn't sell out within a couple of hours, and if resellers sell out, they seem to get restocked with decent quantities on an almost daily basis.
[Nexus 6P General] ThEGr33k:
It seems the Graphite will be a good month away. Sorry for the bad news :(
[Nexus 6P General] xdaman85:
I might just give up and stick with my Galaxy S6 Edge if I don't hear anything by the end of the week.
[Nexus 6P General] Kid_droid:
Google store carbon case orders that have shipped . What is your location.

My case is due 29th Oct -2 nd Nov . I'm still processing of cors.

Remember n5 people in the north got Thiers first.
[Nexus 6P General] JustinTrouble:
It's arrived!

Aluminium 32 GB from CPW.

Norwich here.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Good luck to everyone waiting for there 6ps! I can tell you its worth the wait, the phone is awesome!
[Nexus 6P General] tehwolf:
Gloucestershire here, case moved to shipped status yesterday at about 17:30. No movement on the 128gb frost though. Sat in pending with a delivery window of 2nd - 5th.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Just been into the Glasgow CPW and they have 5 sim free units for sale. Got to play with it, gorgeous phone and so fast and smooth. Makes me depressed I can't buy it as I need at least 64gb :(
[Nexus 6P General] naveed:
OMG, which store?!?!
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
I've just been in the one near us and spoke to the most miserable woman I've ever encountered..

Anyway after me telling her she was rude she said they'd only got the nexus 5s in their delivery.

I'll nip to another one later
[Nexus 6P General] adamsweeting:
Damn this phone is good! Feels so much better in the hand than my N6. It's super fast too!
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Has anyone unlocked their bootloader yet? Mine keeps failing with "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
[Nexus 6P General] luqythewise:
I actually would stick with my edge as well but I cracked the screen which is why I'm buying N6P. To be honest though I also hate the battery life and lack of a vanilla experience.
[Nexus 6P General] Hereisphilly:
I'm guessing you've enabled bootloader unlock in dev settings 1st?
[Nexus 6P General] SC11:
One thing that annoys me most, why doesn't Google, ship the phones out first to their customers? It seems like CPW customers will get it first. Talk about priorities!

They did the same with the Nexus 5!

Got an email yesterday from Playstore saying your order has been shipped. It was only case! Come on here, people ordered from CPW getting their phones already! Arghhh!
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
That's the first thing I did, I've tried on my Laptop and desktop and it's returning the same error on both :S
[Nexus 6P General] SuperHanss:
Be careful of that fuse now :p
[Nexus 6P General] doug143:
Smashing. Getting absolutely sick of companies messing us about.
[Nexus 6P General] Jrad44:
I can just tell that mine is going to arrive this afternoon, then I take it out the box and there's a massive dead pixel right in the middle of the screen or something. It would seem so typical that something like that happens.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Dont forget, I am assuming the date of the 22nd is the date when it will be delivered in stores. I remember last year I ordered the 64gb white from them. I got to pick it up on the day they said, but deliveries were a few days after that. So I am assuming that the 22nd would be available for in-store pickup, not delivered to your house.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Yeah makes sense.. hm, now you've got me thinking again :confused::p
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Here is something else to make you think!!!!! Returns policy! CS will take the device off you and repair the same unit. My understanding is GS will send you out a brand new device with out asking too many questions. I have never dealt with them before, but other users I believe say it is pretty painless! Somebody else may be able to confirm this for me.

For me definitely sticking with Google Store option! Just made my mind up!!!!
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Definitely a plus for the Google store there, no doubt CPW will take weeks to repair a device too.....right now i'm leaving my Gstore one intact.
[Nexus 6P General] ricey1986:
Deffo got to go with the GPS, bought the Nexus 4 through it and never had an issue when sending the device back 3 times.

Bought the Nexus 6 from CPW and had to return it within the first 30 days, they changed it there and then however after this period it is a case of sending the device off, which meant no phone at all for me so had to put up with defective speakers :(
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
How quick was the turn around from Google Store?
[Nexus 6P General] ricey1986:
They send the new phone straight away and arrived within 2 days, when you get it you send your old one back. The only thing. Is they put a charge on your card until the old one arrives back to them
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
I had a faulty Nexus 6 bought from GS & I rang about it & they sent a new one out the next & retuned the faulty on witha about a week grace. So yeah GS is the way to go.
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
Ordered from google

Sod it :D
[Nexus 6P General] xdaman85:
I paid £449 on CPW this morning, looks like the idiots have now dropped the price by 10 quid. It's selling for £439 now, wondering if they'll refund me the £10 difference now.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
£439 .. interesting.. looks like the CPW shenanigans is going to continue this year lol. i'm sure they will issue a refund though for that £10. would be silly otherwise.
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
Literally just after I bought off Google :eek:
[Nexus 6P General] vido.ardes:
I'm wondering if the Frost isn't as popular because either a) people just don't like it or b) lots of people are going 32GB and it isn't available in that size. It was a no brainer for me, that thing looks like a Stormtrooper! 64GB Frost White should be here early November.

I had no trouble with the order process, guess I was lucky. Haven't been this excited about getting a new phone for a while actually.

EDIT: I have just noticed CPW pre-order says October 22 for the 6P, either they are getting them early or Google are over estimating? Would be nice if it was here in 3 weeks instead of 5.
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Doesn't really surprise me I remember last year well

Ended up cancelling my cpw order because of all their crap

So I ended up getting mine from giffgaff last year without any hassle
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Haha yeah! i remember your name from this time last year ! we were in the same boat, i also got it from giffgaff in the end
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
So is the general consensus to stick with google rather than gamble on an earlier date with CPW for the sake of a tenner?
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Yeah I remember it well mate :D

This time around i think I'll stick with Google unless giffgaff do it again

With giffgaff if it isn't in stock you can't order so if you order you definitely get it next day delivery

How's you mate still with the n6?

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Definitely mate
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Yep still rocking the N6, was skeptical about the size when it first got announced but after using it for nearly a year now i love it.

Really looking forward to the 6P, camera looks like its taken a step up.
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Yeah I agree it's a big step up for a lot of features

I started off with the n6

Oneplus one

Asus zenphone 2

Now eagerly awaiting the arrival of my 6p
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
wow been around a new devices then. what date do you have for the 6p? i got OCT 28-30TH
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
I am testing my resolve and holding on for my 64gb version. Keeping an eye on my local CPW stores this week though to see if any 32gb versions are in!
[Nexus 6P General] happyslayeruk:
Just arrived from CPW. :D
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
Don't be suckered in to a 32gb, hold out for at least a 64gb or better still a 128gb, that's what I'm planning on doing.

We'd only regret it if we did give in.
[Nexus 6P General] BerryAl:
I got my nexus 6p today from carphone warehouse :D I'm loving it
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
Just an update for anyone interested - the unlock command is now "fastboot flashing unlock" not "fastboot oem unlock". That's why I couldn't unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
I cancelled my 64gb and ordered from cpw hopefully should be here tomorrow :p
[Nexus 6P General] Rox598:
no CPW stores got stock in :( and apparently they had to send some back to Google in a recall :S
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
Click and Collect CPW

Just been on live chat to check order status. It's awaiting collection in store. Have not been notified its ready to collect. So yours might be as well :)
[Nexus 6P General] LeeroyJ:
Is it possible Carphone warehouse has shut off the phones because of the demand? Im unable to call any CW branch all day.

Also has anyone been able to buy one by just walking into a store? Not sure my hour trip to Belfast is worth it. (Im in the republic of Ireland)
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Good to know! [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] might want to update your guide.
[Nexus 6P General] Rox598:
so it's not just me? I can't get through to any of the stores in Belfast either (apart from the forestside store which don't have any btw)
[Nexus 6P General] Bazsty:
Been reading news/info on the Nexus 6P every single day since it's announcement. My excitement level has been 10/10 up until now, but because of how much of a mess Google have made this launch, it's dropped to 1/10 or even 0. Honestly, I dislike iPhones myself but I can't fault how Apple handle a new product launch. Google have got a long way to go until they reach iPhone status.

My order from the Play Store is still pending and I've just placed another order on Carphone's website. Whatever doesn't get sent out first will be cancelled.
[Nexus 6P General] LeeroyJ:
Yea, no Chance, dont think driving up is worth the time, as more than likely I wont be able to get one.
[Nexus 6P General] shr33kant:
Just a quick FYI for anyone who ordered for click & collect at Carphone Warehouse - I didn't receive my notification to go pick up the device; but I was in the area and went into the shop. They had it and didn't even bother contacting me to let me know about it! So anyone else who was left in the dark... GO HASSLE THEM! :D
[Nexus 6P General] riz157:
amazing cpw terrible service and even more astonishing the hysteria for a phone on this forum!. Are we all junkies smartphones are the new drug for our generation. lol sad but true.
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
True :p any news yet?
[Nexus 6P General] SC11:
I wouldn't go down to 0. If you wanted a launch like Apple then you would have people queueing up hours before hand and possible no stock situatuons.

Yeah the people at the Google Playstore didn't do a great job of it, but it is what it is.

All I can say, everyone who has ordered from the Playstore get given a shipping date and that's that. You have people on here who ordered from CPW and other stores who have no indication of delivery dates.

One thing is for sure, if something goes wrong with your device Google are amazing at customer service. This is from experience!
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Any one waiting for EE don't bother. Just got off the phone,despite upgrading 3 lines last Wednesday,being told 26th for 27th.then contacting them 3 times since as I had no confirmation come through,but told the same again 26th for the 27 the.Today i phoned to check we were still on track for tomorrow only to be told only the 5x launched today and it will be 4th November.can't stand being lied to fuming
[Nexus 6P General] riz157:
Yes cpw are misinforming customers to get them off their backs blantly lying. So don't hold your breath unless you have recieved message from dpd otherwise your gonna get frustrated as most people on this forum. This morning my was phone was picked up by dpd. I just rang to get update and was informed no order is stilll open as phone hasn't been picked up by dpd but in the end was assured after speaking to warehouse I will have my phone definitely tomorrow if not wed!!! Lol

So I'm going to chill out.
[Nexus 6P General] MamaSaidWhat?:
I went in to my two nearest CPW stores and got told by the staff in both stores that it wasn't being released until November (one told me the 27th of November and the other said the end of November.)

I informed them that there were folks on Google+ and Facebook (would've said xda but I'm 99.9% sure they'd have no idea what I was talking about) who physically walked in to stores today and purchased them on the spot or went in to collect their pre orders and they both looked at me like I was trying to pull a fast one. One of their staff members even accused me of lying!

Carphone Warehouse have crappy customer service and some of their in store staff are not only clueless, but rude.

Congrats to anyone who managed to actually get one today!
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
After live chat advised my order us awaiting collection my local store claim it will be there at 5pm... What a company it is !

I think it's at the back and they had no time to sort out deliveries... Disgusting.
[Nexus 6P General] swiftfx:
CarphoneWarehouse - why are they still trading?

I've never come across a company as utterly useless as they seem to be. I speak to their "customer service" team (yeah seriously), who tell me that the order is in store, awaiting collection, so I make my way to the store, takes about an hour to get there and turns out, I went there for nothing. They don't have the phone for me! Whilst in store I call their again so called customer service team but were adamant that the phone is in store, anyway 2 hours later and I walk out of the store empty handed with no-one being able to give me an explanation about what just happened or when I will get my phone. So it looks like these guys like taking money but not hand over goods...

How these people are still in business is beyond me.....
[Nexus 6P General] TeaSeaLancs:
Yup they said the same thing to me in one of the stores. They were quite nice about it mind, they were all "Oh I thought it came out in November?" and I was like "Nope, it's today".

The other store I checked they were fairly up on the whole thing though, knew exactly what the craic was with the constant pre-ordering.
[Nexus 6P General] viren_s:
If you ask for a new contract they give it to you. They make the money on contracts not sim free. HAven't used carphone warehouse in over 10 years! I'm happy waiting for google to send it out.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
I actually had a easy time getting one from CPW this time around,

ordered on the 1st of October, got my email

on the 24th received an email saying it would be at the store in 2 days,

Tried to call the store ( they didn't answer ) thought F it , just went down there and boom, was there waiting.

I realise not everyone had such a easy time , i had my bad time last year with the Nexus 6 so i feel your pain,
[Nexus 6P General] doug143:
Goodbye EE for me. Customer service is appaling.
