What delays? Phone was promised either end of October, beginning of November or late November depending on when you ordered. Orders are shipping and its not the end of October yet. Expecting an exact ship date when they are processing pre-orders is not realistic. Even Google is giving a shipping range to people, not an exact date.

I agree that it's weird they are charging up front. Most places wait until order is being filled. Might be a Chinese thing.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

So cancel your order and move on. *****ing on here isn't going to do anything for the situation. I have gotten a timely response every time I have contacted them, either through email or on twitter. They are trying to answer all questions but good grief, this is how Google pre-orders go.
[Nexus 6P General] smeggysmeg:
I think that's exactly what they did - rush out a few phones to stop people from panicking while they get their inventory together or whatever they're doing.

Folks, I'd like to remind you all...... Normally these types of threads are not allowed to stay open. But as its a Nexus, and excitement and anxiety will run high, we've allowed these threads for now. But please keep things civil, or they will be closed before their natural expiry date. . :good:

Yeah I thought we would see the shipping flood gates open tonight. It is weird considering Huawei (the hardware manufacture) probably took less than 25% of the orders Google did. That's what boggles my mind the most. But I'm just content for now with a early November ship date considering getting by with skin of my teeth 10/19 date.

I bet Huaweii was not expecting this much demand in the US. After all they likely never had any where near this much demand in the US for ANY of their phones. So they probably were a little under prepared honestly.
[Nexus 6P General] hondajohn88:
My take for what it's worth :-o

The way I see things regarding Huawei preorders...It seems to me that Motorola also didn't sell the nexus 6 the same time Google did, I think it was at least a few days after Google ordered were taken, so I imagine it's possible that Google requires the manufacturers to wait until Google gets their orders in first.

As far as Huawei actually billing the credit cards before shipment is funky, but they're a big company with a lot riding on their desire to enter the U.S.market. So they're not going to screw the nexus customers by not delivering product. Plus Google (Alphabet?) would be pissed too I'm sure. I'm not sure I like giving my credit card billed before shipment, but it beats clicking a "Join the Wait List" button.

Regarding the number of people in this thread compared to those who may not know about XDA or other forums, I say check out the number of folks in the other nexus waiting room. There's a ton of people. I have to believe the number of people who ordered from Google are WAY more than direct from Huawei. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a really small number, but way less than the Google Store.

I agree that the method of communication from Huawei about orders, tracking & such isn't what we have come to expect as consumers, but as one person pointed out earlier, maybe it's a Chinese thing. Look at the way One Plus markets/setups their phones...who wants to deal with invites or flash sales? Not me for sure! I bet Huawei learns from this and does things a little different when they crack this market bigger. One would hope anyway.

Personally, I'm happy to have ordered three weeks (10/20 for me) after the first pre-order date & still have the possibility of getting it before the middle or end of November. I expected much later due to my lateness to the game.

I appreciate the passion you all have here in this room for this phone, and I also can hardly wait to have mine in my grubby hands :)

Anyway, those are my pennies of (non?) wisdom.
[Nexus 6P General] brooklynchildxbc:
at least this gives me time to look for a case which i wish i didn't need to buy but I've heard that the phone is slippery. For the 2016 Nexus please have grip that's all i ask
[Nexus 6P General] abraxo:
Sold out again :(
[Nexus 6P General] puritan007:
I kind of spent too much. The only reason I'm anxious to recurve my phone is so I can then sell my n6 to help recover cost some and so I can paint my truck! I very nearly cancelled so I could paint trick first then get phone later.... But nah.
[Nexus 6P General] tacosrdelicioso:
So...it's late. I've been seeing all these reviews and I may have lost my marbles. I ordered 10/8 a 64 aluminum. But just a few minutes ago I decided I really wanted a graphite. So I just put an order in from huawei. Crazy. I know. Now it looks I'll have to wait until late November. Damn.

Not that my order is past early November yet. But Google is giving out $25 credit to delayed orders
[Nexus 6P General] dhoang:
Just placed an order with Huawei, since its sold out on Google store. However Hiawei charged me tax. But some had mentioned about not paying tax if ordered through Huawei. Can someone please confirm if its true or not. I ordered the 32gb aluminum and live in CA if that matter.
[Nexus 6P General] Kyocere:
They charge tax in some states and not others.
[Nexus 6P General] PhilPan:
At this rate we may still be able to order from Google and get it sooner. I see some people who ordered yesterday and their order went right to processing.
[Nexus 6P General] DroidDavi:
Have they been coming in and out of availability ? I was about to buy a 64gb graphite but its showing as out of stock
[Nexus 6P General] puritan007:
My grandfather had to ride a horse to town, pay in advance, and wait up to a year to recieve an order...... Then it might sit in town two weeks before he went and got it.

As a kid I ordered a toy car from Sears magazine. I sent a check off in the mail with an order number. 4 months later when the toy arrived I had forgotten that I'd ordered it.

Amazon has spoiled is. I am ok with waiting a few weeks to receive my phone. It will be ok.

Yes I ordered online 10/17. Yes they charged me at the time. I do hope the phone comes really Nov. But I'm not upset at how they handle roll outs.

I've seen people say stuff like I expected shipment this evening?

Are you taking into account it is not evening in China when it is evening to you? Are you thinking about the fact these crazy factory workers are very likely underage children working in poor conditions? Yes there is likely 3 shifts working 24/7 on these phones but like here they most likely only ship in batches, and most likely only in day time China time....... Somewhere there maybe an airplane full of nexus 6p... It's ok. It's amazing actually how fast stuff can cross the entire earth.... I forgot why I was writing this....
[Nexus 6P General] puritan007:
As you can see in Washington state PST it is 2:30 am, in China at hauwie it is 5:30pm. Just sayin.
[Nexus 6P General] puritan007:
I could be way off. They might all be made and on a huge ship. In the middle of an ocean. And not shipping as we think of it until they reach US port?
[Nexus 6P General] hondajohn88:
I also ordered from Huawei, live in California & they charged me tax too.
[Nexus 6P General] hdlhkhgikn:
What they mean by (Sold out) for 128 GB Graphite !!! ... I am trying to buy it for 3 days now :( .. I know i am too late .. Anyone have an idea about when can i buy this model again .. I am not feeling good towards this word ( Sold out ) .. Sometimes i feel it's a plan for google in order to reduce theirs losses if something went wrong with their early patches , i mean they are trying to delay the shipments until few customers who already recieved their phones and test it for at least a week .. Maybe i am wrong but there is something wrong about this stock thing .
[Nexus 6P General] chosenhobo:
Does anyone have experience with Huawei? This is my first time shipping to an apartment, and I'm kind of worried if my package gets stolen/lost. Does anyone know how Huawei would handle such a case?
[Nexus 6P General] morpheousrx:
I ordered mine (128gb graphite) saturday.... Stated late november shipping time. Already have case and tempred glass scteen protector with an array of braided usb c cables...Ill keep posted

No tax was charged to me. I live in NY.
[Nexus 6P General] wwevoxnj:
I was charged tax in New Jersey.
[Nexus 6P General] SensualPuma:
I was not charged tax in Massachusetts. Saved $40 from the ****ty Google Store
[Nexus 6P General] Macleod52:
I'm from Illinois and was charged tax. I ordered a Graphite 64GB yesterday and expected delivery is late November. I've been charged tax in the past ordering from Google too.
[Nexus 6P General] Wickidmasshole:
People who ordered directly from google are staring to get this email:

Thank you for buying a Nexus 6P from the Google Store. We’re really excited about this phone and we hope you are too. But we have some not-so-great news: It’s going to take a little longer to get the 6P to you than we would have liked. We’re working hard to meet the strong demand we

’re seeing for the color and memory size you ordered, and we promise it will be worth it! Rest assured that orders will still be shipped in the order that they were received.

As of now, we’re expecting to deliver your 6P order between 11/7/2015 and 11/14/2015, and we’ll send you a notification as soon as it goes out the door. As a courtesy, we’ll give you a $25 refund on your purchase, which we’ll process soon after your phone ships.

We know that waiting a bit longer can be inconvenient, though remember we won’t charge you until your order ships. We also want to make sure you’re aware that you can cancel your order. We’d hate to see you go, but if you need to, just follow the instructions here.

We apologize for this news, and thank you again for your order.

Sincerely,

The Google Store Team

Wonder if we will be effected? I would guess yes.
[Nexus 6P General] paullu:
I am in NYC no tax for me
[Nexus 6P General] Macleod52:
Well I suspect we won't get the $25 credit if we do have the same situation.

I contacted Huawei yesterday to cancel my 32GB order so I could order the 64GB. I asked about shipping/stock and whether ordering from them would hinder shipment due to having to fulfill Google orders first. She said that they have all phones in stock and that first shipments from the end of September would ship this week or next. She really didn't answer about whether our orders would be hindered by needing to supply Google or not.

I live in Wisconsin and I was NOT charged sales tax. Saved my ass $50.
[Nexus 6P General] AndroidPurity:
Yeah I just saw that on PocketNow. This basically proves the hardware manufacture (Huawei) did not anticipate as much demand in the beginning. Therefore they only manufactured X amount of devices but received X + Y amount of preorders. Therefore they have to push back some of the preorders to wait for additional devices to be manufactured and shipped to any provider (Google and Huawei and Canada distribution centers). So considering all that I would unfortunately say that it's mostly going to affect all preorders, not just Google. Especially affect people that preordered "late" like after 10/10.

All I can say if I have not gotten mine by Novemember 14th, I will be calling them for a $25 refund. If Google is providing that, then they need to as well to be fair. Because that would be past their "early Novemember" quote. I think this is why Huawei most likely has not been giving specific ship date ranges like Google because as the Hardware provider they knew first hand they had a stock problem before they told Google there was a stock problem.

I had a $35 online order from a pharmacy (was not a prescription) that FedEx delivered to the wrong house once before and the pharmacy shipped out another order for free. However in that case FedEx had it documented bring delivered to a different address on the tracking. So in that case the retailer would send another and FedEx would be expected to reimburse Huawei for the lost shipment. But also in that case it was documented on tracking going to wrong address.

But if they deliver it to the correct address and someone else gets it before you, then that would likely be a lot harder to get another shipment sent out for free, because there's no way for them to tell if you just took it and saying you didn't get it. So in others words if you don't trust your neighborhood, you better make a point to be home around the time the FedEx truck comes through your neighborhood.

They have set route so generally truck comes same time every day for your neighborhood. With in the same hour or two every day. Considering they have a package for your street to drop off that day it would be around the same hour 2. So in mean time you better make note what time they usually drive through over the next few days. Have fun sitting at the window lol.
[Nexus 6P General] ggreenwood334:
Not tax in Missouri. But would be glad to pay tax to have my phone this week.
[Nexus 6P General] eibook:
I agree, they already have our money it would be too much effort to refund people $25. Also, how would they handle the people that financed the phone using Affirm?
[Nexus 6P General] lucky_strike33:
I have waited this long and will wait patiently for the phone. Its not even the end of the week yet and all reps said shipping in early november. Just wait patiently till next week then if its all delayed again then start a ruckus.
[Nexus 6P General] Bootup:
Ordered on 10/20, 128gb Aluminum. Just got the shipping notification this morning, 10/28.
[Nexus 6P General] puritan007:
I changed my mind after seeing the stuff from Google. I've canceled my order. Being charged 597$ two months before recieving a phone in this day and age is ridiculous. And now that I see Google giving 25$ back knowing Huawei is not going to do anything of the sort , or irritated me over the edge so I cancelled.
[Nexus 6P General] flatisjustice:
Huawei Shipment

Just got a shipping confirmation. Ordered 10/12. It's a little odd though as the email says "Oct 28, 2015 11:38:00 AM

Shipped on 10/28/2015 via Other, tracking number" But I didn't get a tracking number. 64GB/Alum
[Nexus 6P General] ghost__:

[Nexus 6P General] SocksNUrToaster:
Shipped with no tracking..sigh..excitement was here and now it's gone
[Nexus 6P General] Macleod52:
They may be packaging them up awaiting for FedEx to pick them up/provide a tracking number. I would suspect you guys get your tracking number later today/tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
Original order was 10/04

Got shipment email a few minutes ago.

No tracking # yet

Online account shows completed

Chat said their end wasn't "updated" yet and I should be getting another email with a tracking #

When asked where it will. Be coming from I was told they have various centers in the USA so could be from anywhere.

Also told it was likely shipped by ground

If it shipped from Texas I'm not getting it till Monday =(
[Nexus 6P General] PuffinNugz:

What color and size are your phones?? Any 64gb graphites out there have shipping info?
[Nexus 6P General] ozzyager:
Hmm, I ordered 9/30, 64GB graphite. So far nothing today. Obviously they are probably shipping based on color/storage...er um, right? Glad to see they are moving now!
[Nexus 6P General] xray49er:
I just got my shipping email from Huawei does not look liked they used ups for my order. so I really cant track it but I ordered on 9/30 64gb aluminium

About a month.i ordered on 10/7
[Nexus 6P General] AndreaCristiano:
Hmmm I'm supposed to get my 32 gab. Nov 13-16 if I ordered from huawei I wouldn't get it till the 28th?

Ordered Aluminum 128GB 6P from Huawei on 10/20. Received email today like others saying shipped today with a "Shipment Number" , but no tracking

FWIW I read somewhere their shipping is done by Amazon Fulfillment.Pretty impressed b/c at the time I ordered it was saying late nov. as an expected ship date.

Has anyone gotten an actual tracking number yet?
[Nexus 6P General] Macleod52:
It may be awaiting carrier pickup which means there won't be a tracking number until the carrier picks it up from the shipping location. That's just how the world works.
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
Ordered 10/1 64gb aluminium and i just received am email from Huawei stating that my order shipped. No tracking number yet though. There's literally an empty space where it says tracking number lol
[Nexus 6P General] jay661972:
Already, good for you man congrats still waiting for mine, ordered 10/2/15
[Nexus 6P General] SAL8116:
Got the same message.

64GB Aluminum. Finally progress.
[Nexus 6P General] ozzyager:
My understanding of how the world works is that the tracking number is created as soon as the shipping order is put in with the carrier service. It just won't have any tracking info yet because it's just sitting in the warehouse waiting to be picked up.
[Nexus 6P General] Nick12484:
So did everyone who is getting an email order an aluminum model? I ordered a 32GB Graphite on 9/30 and I still haven't gotten anything....
[Nexus 6P General] Macleod52:
I'm not entirely sure; however, I have seen numerous times through various sellers/shippers that I don't have a tracking number immediately after I've received my shipping email. I'm sure everyone will eventually get one. As they say, patience is a virtue.
[Nexus 6P General] AndreaCristiano:
Well I just bit the bullet and cancelled my google store order and ordered from Huawei. Figured I can wait an extra week for the 64gb
[Nexus 6P General] ozzyager:
I agree with you there, for sure! Maybe it's only UPS that immediately has a tracking number, as that is usually who I see that with...
[Nexus 6P General] Crakinarse:
Well I ordered Alum 64Gb and have not gotten a ship email or anything. Still pending.

Seems utterly random.
[Nexus 6P General] jay661972:
PER HUAWEI REP:

I do know that all devices ordered before the 22nd are beginning to ship now. So if you check in later, we should hopefully have something for you. :)
[Nexus 6P General] smeggysmeg:
I received a shipping notification from Huawei at roughly 11:30 CDT. I ordered a 64GB Aluminium on 10/10. It does not contain a tracking number, and on the shipping page it simply says shipping is "Other". My order is now marked "Complete". I do not have shipments directed to my address, according to FedEx Delivery Manager or UPS My Choice.
[Nexus 6P General] eibook:
I ordered a 64Gb Aluminum as well and order is still "Processing".
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Good things come to those who wait! (And maybe those who don't bug them incessantly about a delivery date). Ordered 10/14
[Nexus 6P General] Electricview:
Holy COW! I ordered mine the 20th, got a ship notification today, Alum 128gb.. SURPRISED thought it would be end of november.. Ordered one for my mother from google (32gb Alum) same day.. NOthing from google.. Guessing that one will take much longer.

Nice Work Huawei!
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
That's what I ordered.
[Nexus 6P General] mysongranhills:
Nice to have this tidbit.

I'm not terribly worried about tracking right now (not to say I haven't hammered their sites with refreshes while waiting :p ), b/c like others have said tracking isn't usually available till after its in UPS/FedEx/etc. hand's.
[Nexus 6P General] SolracAugustus:
Same here ordered 64gb aluminum on 10/5 and no email. Its really frustrating that people who ordered after are getting shipping emails already

[Nexus 6P General] AndroidPurity:
Whoa!!! I can not believe people with such late order dates are shipping out already! I was expecting next week cause my 10/19 64gb order. *fingers crossed all before 10/22 ship this week from Huawei*

Well ladies and gents Looks like we might make out sooner than the Google buyers.
