Pre-orders &amp; Shipping Dates

I don't understand why the clear cases are available already but the colored cases are still marked as coming soon. :(

Hoping to order the case before the phone comes in

Hey.. Question.. Anyone know if best buy will be selling the non Verizon version?

PREORDERED: NOVEMBER 18 – 21, 2016, I really hope it gets here sooner ffs I'm on sprint I just wanted to try FI for a month before I go back to Sprint or Team Mobile, pixel xl shoukd be awesome I can't wait I'm on HTC 10 atm on bad Boyz rom, we already got root for pixel xl, would be cool to have substratum also :p
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trickster2369:
Where did you see 'we already got root for Pixel XL'?

It was all just an illusion
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
How did you like the HTC 10? It looks sooo nice and is very appealing based on the audio options, but the timely software updates and dedicated Google support are what made me order the Pixel XL. Just wondering why you're so excited to get off the HTC 10 for the Pixel XL? Are there negatives to it?

Ordered the XL 32gb Silver off the Google Store on 10/9 with ship date of 11/18 - 11/21 . Order status still shows Pre-Ordered.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
Dude I wish you ordered from Google so your bootloader would be unlocked. Your work in the past has been outstanding!!! I appreciate everything you and other great devs do for the community
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drew_grant:
I was in a similar thread last year for the 6P and given what transpired, we should hopefully be getting them earlier than what the expected ship dates are. My expected ship date was in early November and ended up getting it on October 29th.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] socalracer:
Still no change on me order, ETA 10/21-24. Stuck at "Pending"

It's 8am here on the west coast. Google isn't "at work" yet. Maybe we will see some movement later on today.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kid1da:
My delivery date has October 20th on Google's site. I ordered seconds after the pre-order page went live. I still see pending on my order.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
If I remember correctly, the faster shipping didn't accomplish anything last year. I think the orders with normal shipping shipped before the expedited orders. I could be wrong.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
If I remember correctly. About 4pm central time last year this thread blew up for the 6p shipping notification.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
that would be major bull**** and i would get my damn shipping charge back. **** that! lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Many got their shipping costs refunded.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ChronoShot:
Same for me. 128GB Silver Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
Interesting. I remember for sure when I ordered my device from Fi it said either delivers by or ships by 10/21. Now on the Google Store site when I check my order it says 10/27-10/31 with no indication if that means shipping by or delivered by.

Edit: Just looked at the preorder website and when placing a new order it still shows new orders leaving the warehouse by 10/21. So still not sure what the date change after placing the order is all about. This will be the 3rd device I've bought from Google during launch so I'm no stranger to them getting things screwed up. I actually expect it now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Yup, I remember this too and people were FURIOUS

BLK 128GB

ordered: 10/4

est. delivery: 10/21-10/24

status: Pending

:'(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
It was weird! It was like Google was compensating for those who didn't pony up the extra cash just to get the phone in everyone's hands at the same time.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
well lets hope they dont repeat their mistakes. cuz the v20 is looking ballin right bout now! lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
Yup.....same thing when the Nexus 5 launched as well. There were users in the thread that ordered on launch day that didn't get their devices shipped until days after people who ordered after 2 or more days after launch received theirs as well.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
well guess they arent gonna learn anytime soon :crying::crying::crying:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
That's a little different (worse, in my opinion) than what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how Standard Shipping orders were sent out days before Expedited Shipping orders. People were paying to get their devices the same day that people with free shipping were receiving them. Expedited shipping doesn't seem to matter.

Did I take that into consideration this year? Nope. I'm an idiot. The hope of having the device two days earlier than I would with free shipping was worth whatever expedited shipping costs. Like I said, I'm an idiot.

Looks like the "Canadian Chick" spiffykerms pulled her pixel unboxing video... interesting #embargo
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Yeah, I'm waiting for both the V20 and Pixel XL to arrive. According to my TMobile order, the V20 is expected to ship 17-24 OCT, and the Pixel 21-24 OCT...

User on Reddit says Verizon sent a text for order confirmation referencing the user's order number from Google - Looks like it's starting to happen...

lucky v20 wont be out on sprint until the 28th. :crying:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IIIPowerIII:
They also did that for their N9.

You just contact them and they gave a refund without any questions.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Yeah if mine isn't shipped by the 20th I will ask for a refund on shipping. Although it's only $20, I could put that towards accessories.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Pre-orders &amp; Shipping Dates

Posted this over in the V20 thread...

Curious as to when that is?

Reason I ask, call me a conspiracy theorist if you must. T-Mobile is facing a potential customer dip due to the Note 7 fiasco. What better way to avert potential customer base loss (device lease fees etc.)by getting the V20 out as quickly as possible, primarily before the Google Pixel hits the streets... Do they actually have them in stock, or are they baiting customers? Seems odd to completely skip the "preorder" phase and go straight to "In-Stock" and shipping 17-24 October...

I am actually one of those folks, preordered the Pixel XL on October 4th which should be here this week. However, now with the V20 available I still have time to cancel my Google order and pick up the LG.

So now I have both on order and "technically" should have both by the end of the week. As outlined though, I doubt the V20 ships to anyone this week... Of course I could be way off base, but think the V20 thing is a tad more than coincidental...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] theKVD:
Called Best Buy about my Verizon Silver XL preorder. The system still says my "get by" date is the 20th. Ordered mine on the 6th in the evening. Maybe the fear of what the big V would do to updates played in my favor. Not sure I trust BB's preorders but it's my first time preordering through them. Anyone else go the BB route?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Yourgodtim:
I was able to get a pre-order in Saturday around 9 am EST for the XL 128gb and the date listed for delivery is NOVEMBER 23 – 25, 2016 which does suck to wait but better to wait and actually have a time-frame. I have my fingers crossed it'll ship out earlier. I haven't ever pre-ordered a phone from google before so I guess we shall see.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
The date the V20 will be available in T-Mobile stores is October 28th.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
Best Buy is only selling the Verizon model, so you won't avoid any Verizon meddling by ordering from Best Buy. The only place to get a Verizon-proof model is from the Google Store or Project Fi.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] theKVD:
Oh it's all good. I meant the updates/bloatware. Since it's getting updates same day and uninstallable bloat I'm golden. Not worried about root personally.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Which gives even more credence to my theory... Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[IMG="Pixel xl"]https://goo.gl/photos/qMDo5vZKqkmJwEWWA[/IMG]Just received tracking info from Verizon wireless. I ordered Pixel XL quiet black 128gb.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SAL8116:
Just an FYI, picking express shipping means after it leaves Google. It does not mean you get bumped ahead of other orders that picked normal shipping. Most business operates that way. Everyone has their place in line, the timeframe in which the phone gets to you is the difference.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ItsGambit:
So I got fed up with the "Pending" status and contacted Google support, the person I spoke to said that the dates listed on the order are the ship dates and not the delivery dates. So my order which currently shows 10/26 - 10/28, that is the time frame I should expect my phone to ship, not get delivery by. I ordered my Pixel XL (128 GB, Quite Black) on Oct 4, 2016 ~10:45 AM PDT. Anyone else getting the same information?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IIIPowerIII:
I just want my order to change from Pending :( Come on google..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lambertjd:
When did you place your order? Hoping I get tracking info soon from them too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 0.0:
That can't be right. I looked at my email confirmation and it states "delivery by [date range]." I am not too sure if Google customer reps know when it is actually shipping.

My date range: Oct. 21-24
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
haven't spoken to anyone but my receipt from the 4th states delivery dates 21-24 not shipping dates
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
I doubt their service call cronies have any real insight as to how the process works. Besides. Mine specifically states estimated delivery date is 21-24. Not ship by date. Who would care about ship by date? I hate talking to customer service reps. They just tell you what they think rather than actual facts. That's why I never call them unless I absolutely must.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kradkovich:
Ordered mine yesterday evening and this is what its showing (see attached image) Talked to the rep this morning and they said i should get it 26-30. But it still says pending.

The 128GB Silver XL I ordered through Google Store when they went back up prior to this past weekend I'd chilling at Pre-ordered with a Delivery Date of 11/23-11/25...Im guessing even if it ships earlier than that it will be a few weeks, but that's fine with me, I was just happy to be able to cancel my 32GB and get a 128GB order placed, Note went back and I am least have an HTC10 as a backup phone (which is a fantastic phone btw)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kradkovich:

CAD is so weak now..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jhlarowe:
I hate to bring up the dark cloud on the horizon, but something to keep in mind for those of us with the the Nov delivery dates.....Thanksgiving is the 24th. Right in the middle of the delivery window.

According to the FedEx website, they are open for business on the 23rd, closed the 24th, and open for 'modified service' on the 25th & 26th.

I have a 128G black XL scheduled for delivery between 11/23 & 11/25. I would love to see it arrive early, but I'm not holding my breath.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Does anyone know if Google ships with the signature required option? Or, will they allow the package to be left on the porch?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Good point, I have a 128GB Silver XL with that same delivery window. I'm hoping these start seeing some action earlier than expected, so we'll have to see what happens...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjaydee82:
Ordered mine from Verizon about a week and a half ago.. 128GB Black and says it'll be delivered by Oct 20th. I'm impatiently waiting to get an email that it is shipped with tracking today or tomorrow
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Siavash8:
I think they're probably wrong. I specifically remember the text right next to the checkout button when I was ordering on Google Store: "Ships by October 20th".
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ikarma:
It looks like Verizon is starting to send out tracking, this is the second person I have seen to get it so far. Let us know when it starts moving.

Also, what date did you order it?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
T-mobile has always shipped pre-orders early. I order the G4, and the V10 via pre-order and both arrived early.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] david.degraw54:
I spoke to a google service rep this morning about a different issue. He told me my phone should be shipping out the 21st. I ordered a Pixel XL 32GB Very Silver at around 3pm EST Oct 4th. My order status is still pending with my delivery dates showing as Oct 26th-28th
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevexyz0:
Just another data point. Ordered Black XL 32GB with expedited shipping from Google Store at 10:57AM PDT on October 4 (launch day). The confirmation email stated "Estimated delivery date: Oct 21, 2016 – Oct 24, 2016". Checking online it still states "Pending October 21-24, 2016". I haven't got any kind of notification yet. No charges are visible on my credit card at this moment.

My Nexus phones have always been left on the porch, never required signatures.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Why are we contacting Google before the expected ship dates again?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vivanshah:
some people still believe that google chat reps have actual information beyond what is on our order status page.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Regardless of Google's delivery instructions you can leave a note on the door saying you release the package to be left at your door with your signature signed at the bottom. You can also file a signature release form with FedEx or whatever carrier to not require signatures for your packages.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Cause people like to clog up customer service for misinformation to post on a forum.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
Check the FedEx page with your tracking number once you get it. There is a certain window of time during shipment that you can choose to sign for the package online in advance. That option disappears on delivery day. Some drivers will accept a hand written note of signature authority but it's technically not supposed to be allowed. It's driver discretion.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
For every Nexus I've had delivered, they drop it at the door and bolt... they've never asked for a signature and the Pixel won't be any different
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
I understand contacting Google if you haven't received your phone when you were supposed to. Contacting them now seems silly. What answer can they give you that will make you feel better? Or better yet, what answer can they give you that'll you'll be able to trust? Your expected date is the best answer anyone has right now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gtdragon980:
Same. I have a really hard time believing it will take an entire month after launch to receive the phone. Especially pre-ordering on the first day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
Lol it did last year for the 6P launch...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kls629:
your signature says pixel xl already
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
It's not driver discretion. I worked for fedex for 12 years. If a shipper pays for the service of getting a signature then they are required to get one. Notes don't work. If they do get a note then they are signing the scanner with your signature. Thus is forgery and a federal offense. Not saying they will get caught, but that's technically how it works.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Now they just do that with Note7s for their safety.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jhlarowe:
From what I've seen, Google could sure use some market analysis folks. It seems like every year they start the process with a severe stock shortage and play catch-up for the next month or two. And, they don't seem to learn from previous years.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
You are right. Technically they aren't supposed to. Delivery drivers nowadays though seem to not really give a crap about anything. I've had close to 1000 dollars in PC equipment that required my signature just dropped at my door. Guy didn't even knock. It was also a very busy hallway on the bottom floor of a not so nice neighborhood apartment complex. I only knew it was delivered because I got a notice saying I had signed for it. That really made me mad lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
That crazy. I contracted with FedEx and if we did that and it was stolen or u say u didn't sign we were liable for the insured amount. This stuff gives honest drivers a bad Rep. We weren't even allowed to leave packages at apartment without a signature or having a neighbor sign. Then if u tracked it it would show left at apt xx with whoever signed. Is a cya situation.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
I expect to see tracking info from Verizon for my silver XL 128 tonight or tomorrow.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kls629:
when did you pre order
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
Did I or did I not say it's technically not allowed, but some drivers do it anyways, which means it happens "at the driver's discretion"? That's exactly what happens. Plenty of people leave notes for drivers for packages requiring signatures and they look at it and leave the package. Happens every day all over the country.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Doesn't matter...Oct 11th I think... . Verizon has always delivered any pre-order phone on launch day or even a day or two early.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
I thought people had places in line too, but I pre-ordered on announcement day and have Nov. 23-25th ship dates and people that ordered after me (from the same Google Store) have sooner shipping dates I'm so confused ??

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Hell I would be fine with that. Ordered the same phone on the same day just hours after the announcement and my estimated date is Nov. 23-25 and the status is still "Pre-ordered" ?

If I at least had the Oct. 21-24th dates I'd be chill right now tbh

Doesn't mean it's actually in FedEx hands yet though, sometimes a seller will create the tracking info a day or two in advance of it actually shipping.

I lucked out about 3 weeks ago when there still weren't any! A local store had one 128GB 7 Plus in stock within a 100 mile radius. I bought it as it was the last and you couldn't order from Apple online. I promptly returned it within my 14 day window: not my style or type of phone. It was maddening to use locked down Apple IOs and that damn home button controls everything. LOL Camera and screen (though brighter than 6S Plus but same resolution) were not superior, stereo speakers sounded tinny and just too large of a phone. Only saving graces were speed and fluidity. I hated their new bubble like notification system (copied poorly from Android). Oh well.

Patiently waiting for my Pixel XL.
