You need to have the $ in your account when you initially order. They charge you for the entire price with an "authorization hold" to ensure the account is legit and funds are available. After about a week they take the hold off and your balance goes back up like you never bought it, because you technically haven't yet. Not even a trace of it on you're bank statement. Then when it ships they will officially pull the funds from your account.

I don't like this method of doing things one bit and I called Google back and told them that. I like to pay for things and be done with it instead of having to subtract $779 from my balance when I look at it.

Besides, even though they're verifying the funds exist at the time of the order, there's nothing promising the funds will be there when they charge upon shipment. Why not just keep the funds with the initial order?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Matridom:
After the week, they reapply the hold on the account. I used credit card, so the only impact I have is that my credit limit is lower for the pre order period. I happen to have a healthy credit limit and no balance, so it's actually better for me this way.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
The hold lasts for a week then they take it off. You're saying they reapply the hold after another week?

I was told differently by Google- that the card would just be charged when it ships. But if what you're saying is true, that's absolutely ridiculous that they're screwing with our accounts like that.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Matridom:
I guess it depends on your perspective. I don't use debit cards or linked back accounts of any sort for online shopping. Pure credit card only. My main shopping card has a 5k limit, and a 0 balance, this pre order just means I have a 4k limit for a few weeks. Considering it's a rare month for me to put 1k on it, I see it as a non issue.

It's a common practice for businesses so it's something I've come to expect.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
I suppose it does depend on perspective. Call me old school, but I like to pay for things and be done with it, so I paid with my debit card linked to my bank account. I don't want to put it on credit and I don't want the money going back in my account, only to be taken again. That makes no sense, I don't see what it achieves, and I don't like the back and forth movement on my account. But I've complained about this enough and I rest my case. Sorry to get so off topic, but this is a part of the order process people should know about. Probably more appropriate for another thread though.

This in and of itself is not a reason to be ok with the way companies do business. You are being conditioned.

Of note, they initially placed a pending charge on my card for my Pixel XL, that pending has since fallen off and not been replaced. My order was placed via Project Fi, but is being handled by the Google Store.

Shipping expectations

Patiently waiting with an estimate of Oct 26-31st, but based on previous experience, I expect to see my device by 10/20.

Pixel XL Silver 32GB - ordered through Fi.

Ordered 10/10

Shipping to WI

This same thing happened with the Nexus 6P, and every preorder I've ever done with Google. Last year, my 6P had an estimate of Nov 5-9 for delivery. And Oct 28 it arrived. Google definitely under promises and over delivers. I've seen them typically use FedEx, so if you sign up for FedEx delivery manager you can get an email that a label to your address was created.

I ordered from Verizon. I could care less about root. I ran my N6 more on stock un-rooted than I did rooted, since I upgraded to marshmallow last year. I don't use exposed, so it's just not an issue. The bloatware and updates were the only thing I worried about, and it looks like those have been addressed to my satisfaction.

UK, Google Store order just changed to Processing. Ordered on announcement day, 128GB black Pixel.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] predator290:
:( Still pending.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
It looks like all those who ordered through Verizon are getting theirs shipped while those of us who ordered directly from Google are still waiting for ours to ship. Oh well, Google said to expect it the 26th - 28th. So if it comes before that I'll consider it a bonus.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ajbattaglia83:
I imagine US Google store orders will change to processing this evening
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] narwahlberg:
Canada orders are moving to processing as well. I'm guessing US is next (probably later tonight)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
Confirmed. Mine just went to processing now.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Forgive my ignorance, but where are you guys seeing "processing"? Is it in the blue bar on your google account order page where the delivery date is, where mine says "preordered"?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] elisoulos:
Yes
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Mine still says pending but I just got a UPS shipping notification from Illinois that I'd be getting an earlier than scheduled delivery. Was supposed to be the 20th but now says end of day 19th. I don't even know if this is the phone or something else I ordered. But nothing I get needs to be signed for and this one does. Weird huh. And no charges so far on credit card or synchrony bank.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Rado_vr6:
Ordered through Project Fi on the 7th, still says preordered with expected arrival between the 21st-24th. I got overnight shipping as well so I'm assuming it will end up being here on Friday if not sooner.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Why do you think this? I ordered within minutes of it being available with the most expensive shipping option (I think it said expedited not overnight) and have a date of 10/21-10/24. That's the first wave right? I have no FedEx or UPS notifications so nothing has shipped.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Rado_vr6:
I wouldn't worry too much. I ordered through Project Fi(Black 128gb) on the 7th and got a shipping date of October 21st-24th. I selected the overnight shipping option so we will see when it shows up. I'm thinking Friday.

I just checked, and in the last few moments my status changed from "Pending" to "Closed" and my CC was charged in the last couple of hours. I ordered within the first hour or so and did the fastest expedited shipping. I'm in the Bay area CA. I haven't gotten any delivery notices but I only have that for UPS, not FedEx so I might not get any warning.

Just received the shipping notification for my 128 GB model ordered directly from Google on the 5th. Probably going to take a few days to arrive as they are shipping the UK orders from Ireland by the looks of things (possibly - can't work out if that is just for billing, or where it is being shipped from).

Has anyone in the US had a 128GB model shipped yet? If so, what was your order date?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] alien314159265:
real confusion with order

So I understand everyones preorder confusion. I had quiet and ordeal myself. After speaking with googles CSR multiple times to find out why my financing is showing that I have all the available credit at my finger tips instead of the origional charge from the release date . Eventually after multiple calls between synchrony and google, which know absolutely nothing and told me my phone order was canceled, I spoke to my first competant google CSR. He told me that they had first put a charge on the financing through synchrony and it held it until about the 9th, after that it was moved off until they ship the device and then actually add the full charge onto the credit line. I thought I was losing my really blue pixel because of some lame excuses between multiple incompetant CSR's (different emails between accounts?). Go figure, If I just let the dice fall where they lay, I could have done something productive..... in a perfect world.

anyway, my order has changed from pending to processing today.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ddeflyer:
Checked when I woke up this morning, order changed to shipped with a tracking number provided. Its shipping from Mira Loma CA and it says it will arrive tomorrow (Thursday the 20th, I got fastest shipping). This is straight from the google store BTW.

Ordered my Pixel xl 32 gig Oct 4, shipping Oct 26-28??? Live in Chicago does anyone know if the phone is coming from Chicago, if so, does that mean I should get it earlier? Seems like I ordered it the day it was released and got such a late date for shipping compared to people who ordered on Oct 7th and got earlier shipping date then me....wtf!
[SuperSU] Ericarthurc:
With the coming of the great Google Android 7 it seems there is no more system mode supersu support (currently). Leaving us Nougat fans to use system-less mode... which I just cant stand... Most root apps wont work with system-less and you have to flash a ton of system-less zips to get certain apks to work. My question is will there ever be system root for Nougat; or maybe there already is and I am an idiot?! And if not; is that in the works?

Thanks in advance!
[SuperSU] anonymous-bot:
Perhaps it would be better if those apps were updated to support systemless root. Also which apps are you having trouble with?

Just bought a Nexus 5X 32 GB for 245 € instead of Pixel 759€
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Thats a good price but these 2 phones are technicaly not compareble.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] unrealmac:
technically yes. And yep I was really looking forward for more than 2gb Ram and an AMOLED screen but this phone simply doesn't offer for me the justification to be 500€ more expensive than the Nexus 5X.

Come on: I think everyone was kind of waiting for the secret killer feature that wasn't announced. I personally bet that the glass/plastic back is touch enabled for swipe/scroll gestures but that did not happen. Daydreams seems still not 100% ready..
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
I completely agree with you. I will not get one of these 2 devices either because of the price and its not a huge upgrade from the 6P imo.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
The RAM is the main advantage to me.... (2GB for 64-bit android is an error, even the N5 2013 has less redraws. N5X should have had 3GB! )

On the other hand, the battery life (seems to have much better autonomy) and the AMOLED panel is another advantage.

But I bought the 5X at 300€ in Amazon (6 months after the release date). So I'll wait to see this Pixel at 500€ before buy it.
