Saying "driver's discretion" implies the driver has the right to decide. For example see the definition here. In the case you're describing the driver is just breaking the rules; he has no discretion to exercise because none was given or delegated to him.

Not to mention FedEx will hold them if requested. My note 7 shipped 5 days early and just sat at a fedex facility. I called and inquired and they said the shipments were being help until a specific date (forgot the actual date but it was a day before I was supposed to have it). Got it on the day I was promised.

Pre-Ordered from Google Store
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] androidpixar:
"You will not be charged until your order has shipped."

Maybe they'll be shipping them out this week then, if they've already taken out the money?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adamsweeting:
Wishful thinking, but I think not!

Someone else said it's a 'pre-charge' which will get refunded in a couple of days. Then when the phone IS ready to ship - the money will be re-taken.

Just checked the status of my Pixel XL 128g pre-order and it now shows delayed, spoke to Helstra and I was told it could take up to 2 weeks as Google has yet to send them stock (this was the excuse they gave me) I was also told I wont get it on the 20th....even though when I did the pre-order I was ASSURED there would be no problem(coming from a note 7 I have had enough delays in trying to get a working handset) I did ask them they would have plenty of stock for Delivery and they said yes

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Why? It's not unusual to get shipping notifications well into the night. I think I people were receiving shipment notifications even after midnight. I just looked, I received both my 6P and Pixel C shipping emails after 9PM. I'm not saying that's the case here, but I would never say it's not possible.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
If I got a ship notification tonight. And paid overnight shipping. Is delivery tomorrow?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
Should start seeing a flood of Verizon shipment posts tonight.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
well.... can you just skip the processing step? i thought we would have to go thru that first? this is all the more hard since i dont have a phone in the mean time since the note 7 had to go bye bye.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Yes. But I don't want to say that in case things have changed.

My 6P was in processing for like an hour. That's it.

Fun fact: I received my Nexus 6 without the status ever updating.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Not necessarily true...Last year with the 6P, people were still getting shipping notifications until 9-10p at night
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
hope you guys are right. but i havent even been charged yet. lol

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Sorry about being a "fun sponge", I just want to see more going out.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsweetness:
Possibly, but likely not. The initial shipping notifications are the creation of the shipping label/entry into the system by Verizon. It doesn't always mean the shipper has the package. A shipping notification tonight with overnight shipping more likely means FedEx will get the package tomorrow for a Wednesday delivery.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kls629:
exactly, also if you look at his screenshot it says shipping date 18th
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nory82688:
I did. I pre ordered days ago. (Can't remember the specific date), and I still haven't received an update yet. I could've sworn BB said it would be delivered by Oct. 20th, but now I'm getting a bit worried.

Plus the free Chromecast has already shipped.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jblack41510:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaunWinSC:
I have a feeling that anyone who ordered though Google Store there phone will not ship until the 20th at a minimum. Knowing Verizon they probably had in the contract.

It will keep HTC busy. May even save them as a company. I always did like HTC. My Inspire4G and M7 were good solid devices.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupahMario:

My pixel xl has movement already, I'll have it tom through ups
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
I really want these to do well, but being "sold out" doesn't really mean much. "Sold out" is relative. The Nexus 6 was also sold out and we know how well that thing did. A lot of times the original batches are pretty limited. Limiting the initial inventory a) helps them gauge interest b) keeps them from having a ton of unsold inventory (think original Surface RT) and c) it provides the illusion that the device is in high demand.

I don't doubt that the device is "sold out," what that number means is something entirely different.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vivanshah:
from verizon?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
I just mean with them changing the game and higher pricing. They still are selling as well as Nexus. Seems the nay sayers were wrong about it being a total bust. The price hike didn't scare anyone away.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] twoeleven99:
Looks like Verizon buyers have first dibs
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RomPlinker:
Probably, and that kinda pisses me off. It seems Google has forgotten who their customer is. The people who paid Google directly are padding Google's wallets with cash because they're not sharing profit on the device itself with a carrier. It feels like they're not going to make an effort to get the pre-shipments into the hands of their most profitable customers on release day, and that's kinda crazy from a business perspective. It seems people around the world have their hands on these devices, and the only people who are going to have to really wait for them are those whom they make the most amount of money on.

I hope it's all a fluke of the imagination and that google is not really going to shaft the people who purchased directly through them. It can't be - that's plain bad business and they're too smart for that... right?

Holly hell it's really sucks to be a Google customer sometimes.

I'm not giving you anything. Look it up yourself on ubergizmoe or maybe actually read this thread and find the link I all ready posted. It's literally on the previous page. It's called reading...

Look out guys. The troll is back
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Google has a fraction of the distribution VZ has. Of course they are going to maintain a good relationship with VZ because it makes financial sense.

Unless your order is delayed and Google has missed the delivery window you have nothing to be upset about.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
I can agree with the nay sayers that the new price sucks, but then at the same time all premium phones are around the same price point these days. So I can't complain about Google doing the same. Honestly the Nexus 6P was the highest end Nexus that was released, and there were still issues with the build quality, screen quality (mine had burn-in after less than a year of use), etc. If those issues are fixed, I have no problem paying the more premium price. We're getting Google's version of an iPhone and we're paying the price for it. We can't expect to see the same quality for a lesser price until the prices of smartphones in general go down, which I don't see happening for awhile unfortunately.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
There's no number amount. So what I think he means is if they only had like 1,000 units and sold out its not really a big demand.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
Only because google had to go back and unlock all our bootloaders and root our devices. Lol.

The could have small batches. Which doesn't mean anything. And. This whole note 7 thing is a blessing for the pixel xl.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
That tells us all nothing we don't already know. How do you know the devices are selling as well as Nexus devices? You seem to know, but to know that you need to see the "sell out" qty for both models.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Hmm interesting. You are smarter than me. You are obviously capable of grabbing the last part of a conversation which you were not a part of and then asking for a source which was posted in the original start of said conversation. That takes brains for sure. And then you still don't find the post being referred to when it's literally a page before yours and read the whole thing. Did you read the whole thing? No you didn't. And why. Well because your so smart of course. You have a truly dizzying intellect.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Is this the article your referring to? If it is, show me where you, or the author of this article, states actual sales figures for both devices head to head for the same time period.

If this isn't the article and you show me a different one, that you already posted, that answers my questions then I apologize to you.

Oh go away already. I'm here to get order and shipping info, not to listen to you blather on about how you are smart and right. Take that to another thread..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Who said anything about exact sales numbers? I sure didn't. The article states they are selling just as well as other Nexus devices in the past. That's it. That's the only conversation that was had. This paragraph obviously states that point. You butted into a conversation and took it out of context and then asked me for a link I just provided. Do you see how that could be considered rude and confrontational?

"It should be noted that Google’s Nexus phones prior to this also sold pretty well so we guess there aren’t any surprises here, although given the price of the Pixel and Pixel XL handsets, we guess Google doesn’t really have to worry about customers staying away from them as far as pricing is concerned".

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Your right LOL. Took the bait. Letting it go.....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Yeah....if it's on the internet it's certainly true right? You don't have to be a genius to realize the article is BS but rather a filler article.

The author can't say the devices are selling as well unless they have numbers to compare. We have no idea how may devices have been sold is my point.

This thread is like deja vu every. single. year...

1) Phone launches. Everyone is excited.

2) Status moves to pending. Everyone is excited.

3) Impatient people contact Google. Google tells them exactly what is said on order status since day one. Impatient people don't believe it. Start complaining.

4) Patient/Sane people argue with Impatient people.

5) Some vendor sends phone early. Everyone complains.

6) Phones ship. People sing songs and dance in a circle holding hands.

7) Someone who ordered after someone else gets phone first. More arguing.

8) Most everyone gets phone. The circle-j commences.

9) Build quality, battery complaints, "Should I RMA?" etc. threads show up.

10) Life goes on as usual.

Google is unbelievable. They better ship today or we have no choice of getting them for release. What is the point of a preorder then?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanbmw51:
In this case the point of the pre-order is to make sure you get one before they sell out. I don't know about you but I'm just happy to be getting mine before Christmas.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ker2gsr:
In my opinion is that the November ship dates are a buffer for them in case they can't meet demand they can save face by day they still stayed in estimated delivery date my 2cents
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanbmw51:
I can agree with that. The best practice in business is to under-promise and over-deliver.

I am still thinking that Google will be shipping devices today and expedited orders will have their devices in hand tomorrow. I'm just hoping I still get mine with the first batch since I ordered a couple hours after it went on the store.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryno77:
No one who ordered from Google got a date before 10/21 right? I would assume then that they'll create the shipping labels tomorrow and ship out on Thursday....it makes no sense but it is what it is I guess. Why they wouldn't want people to have them on the day they're released is beyond me.
