My transaction does not show in payment either, yet google assured me my order is fine. 10/14 black xl 128. My cc actually dropped the pending charge as well since they only hold for 10 days. I called google to let them know, and they said it will be fine as long as the funds are available when it ships.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
This is actually my 5th "Nexus" phone, so it's safe to say it's not my first rodeo.

... and I was replying specifically to the part about how you speculate they saved money by using multiple distribution and that their shipments are being sent out of order and everything was better when they used UPS. They have 6 regular models (excluding the blue variant because it's not available in all launch countries). Then there are people replying to this thread from all around the world. Then, at least in the US, there are multiple ways to purchase the phone directly from google, through their financing, and also through Fi. Then there are all the people who placed and cancelled multiple orders, attempted to adjust orders over the phone, had irregularities with payment through their bank, and chose variations of shipping speed. Multiply through all the goddam options, 6 phones*shipping centres*launch countries*banks*order financing/company, and you're looking at hundreds if not thousands of different combinations, then filter that by order date, and you get what appears to be out of order shipments based on anecdotal evidence from commentators on this site, who may or may not be genuine with the details they provide. Then we have to consider that Google did not produce more phones than the orders they would receive, and they had to attempt to schedule and produce enough of each phone to meet their forecasted demand, and then distribute them around our blue marble in a manner that will get the most phones to the most customers by Oct 20th. Also, we have to remember that the Nexus line represents a small fraction of all Android phones, it's a newish Brand, it's Google first ever phone, and it has an unprecedented price tag.

At the end of the day, it's just really dis-heartening to read comments by people like you, who really don't have all the facts, speculating how the folks at Google are out to screw the customer and/or pinch a penny on shipping by using ineffective shipping methods. Also, for all the *****ing and complaining, a goodly number of Americans who pre-ordered will get a Daydream View, and possibly a free subscription to Google Play Music and Youtube Red.:eek:

So finally some type of answer. Who knew they would print shipping labels a week or more in advance of being picked up by FedEx. This may or may not be the end of this fiasco. But I am now told that in fact my package has not been picked up. That's better than it being lost and having to start all over and go to the end of the line.

Anyone that ordered through Verizon get a status update? 10/28 here and no updates here.

Mine arrived an hour ago as promised and as expected: ordered 10/9 project Fi 32 GB black standard shipping.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] onebelo:
my buddy who ordered a XL 32gb a couple days before I did had a later est delivery date, Nov 23-25 (mines is Nov 18-21) somehow got his today. Grrrrrrr lol. I got the 128gb though so I guess there were more 128gb orders. My order is still on "preordered"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bazofia:
My date is November 26-28, Google Store, XL 128 Black. Still showing pending. Anyone with the same dates and similar device got delivered theirs?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
When did I say that Google is trying to screw the customer? If that's what you took from that fine but I certainly don't do business with corporations that I believe are trying to screw me and I certainly would not have owned every single Nexus except for the 5X. If your defense is that people are making up lies about their order dates, and deciding to spend their time on this forum lying, then that's pretty piss poor.

If you think that google waited until receiving pre-orders for the device to start making them then you're naive. Ditto if you believe they only made enough devices for the pre-orders. And I'm sorry what does a VR headset have to do with missed shipped dates? I'm happy that I'll receive one but I did not order my phone with the thinking that I would get a VR headset. The VR headset does nothing for me if I was looking forward to my phone and it has missed a ship date. Your arguments are all based on things that are either conjecture or completely baseless. How do we know it was a cost cutting measure? Simple: Last year the same issue happened. Based on this, they should've went back to the one factory UPS from years prior. What would be a reason for a company to choose a method that was less than an ideal solution for fulfillment and logistics? I don't know the facts, but neither do you. The difference is practicality.

So... My 32GB black won't be delivered by 10/26-10/28 yay!

Guess I'll wait a few more weeks. Wonder if I could order an iPhone and get it quicker? I'd also bet they ship newer orders before mine since that would only make sense.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
It has not shipped.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
I'm the same order, 128 XL BLK, except mine is still on "Preorder" status.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
Ordered on the 5th at 2am. Still on pending. Expected October 26-28. Called cs and they assured my it would be here by the 28th. Kinda doubt that at this point.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I actually ordered same phone a little after you. Got a 10/21-24 delivery date. They told me same thing. Now I'm screwed. They are "investigating" ha we're screwed
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
Xiaomi Mi Mix is looking a lot better at this point. All cs says is we assure you everything is fine on our end. No bank issues as I called them and made them aware charge will come through from Google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
The Mi MIX is a KILLER, I wish that was the pixel instead!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
Yup. If my pixel isn't here on the 28th I'm gonna hold out for that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Basturds, turns out my phone didn't make it onto the delivery truck and they're promising me delivery for tomorrow instead.

I'm thinking it's more likely gotten stolen/lost.

But,,, I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Can't do anything super cool until TWRP gets released anyhow.

No root till then.

No ROM's till then.

No Xposed till then (if it's available for 7.1 anyway).

To those of you who are still waiting on your Pixel after the delivery date that Google gave you, has your delivery date changed under your order?

No, it has not

Same here, 128gb silver ordered 4 October.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Spyke562:
Ordered Black 128 Pixel Oct 9th and mine still sitting on Pre-Order with Nov 23 - 25. I know I still have ways to go, but anyone who pre-ordered did you get your daydream codes?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
Just so you know. The daydream promo code must be redeemed by 12/31/16... But... You can't get your code until you activate your phone.... Which may be after that date at this rate. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Spyke562:
I am going to be so mad if I miss that date! I am expecting two of them.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] steadly2004:
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed it today. I think I will continue to like it, I actually just listed my S7 Edge for sale and got a payment within an hour and shipped it 30 minutes later.

Actually just checked right now, and it looks like it does show that it was shipped and there was a tracking number. But I didn't get any emails or notifications.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gwstmar:
Not a big fan of Google right now. I ordered the Black XL 128GB on Oct 4 with 1 day shipping. My ship date was supposed to be Oct 21-24. It never showed. Worse yet, they never contacted me to inform me of the delay. Even worse, when I called customer support over the last 2 days, I spoke to 4 different reps, who all told me 4 different things. Ranging from a problem with my bank, to it's on it's way, to sorry we screwed up, and you might see it by the end of November. I've never had a pleasant experience ordering a phone directly from Google. No joke, if the phone isn't in my hands by Friday, I'll be cancelling my order and taking the plunge over to Apple.

the phone is released on the 20th so first orders should ship a few days before that.

I'm waiting for the big one, I'm paranoid about being short on space especially with no SD card. I got a preorder in, says it will ship in late November. I think it will ship sooner but I'll wait either way.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Yeah, I wouldn't mind waiting for the big one but I would like to get a preorder in and grab that free daydream...I did decide to just hold off until more 128s go up for preorder though, hopefully before the 20th

Just pre ordered on Verizon for 128 silver, says shipping OCT 20th
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
I got expedited shipping on first day and my window is 21st-24th. I hope it's earlier but the 21st is the first day you could receive them according to google. I'll be kind of pissed if I have to wait over the weekend. It would be a waste of expedited shipping.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bcsteene:
Pre-ordered the 32 Pixel XL black. I wanted the 128 but they were sold out. With all the offline photo storage I think its going to be enough for me, but we'll see. On my current device I'm only at 32g and thats with storing over a years worth of photos and videos - so I think I'll be alright. Wanted the XL as I think it'll be better for VR. Shipping currently says October 26-28. I'm hoping I get it before then though. fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanbmw51:
where did google say that about the 21st? thanks. i hope it's right
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZOHAIBAR:
At the time of placing order and selecting your address for delivery, their is option for expedited shipping and its window is 21st-24th oct, otherwise if you choose free shipping its 26-28 oct, which is what i selected.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
The phone is released on the 20th. Overnight shipping will be the 21st. Still possible they ship a day or two early. But the 21st Is the earliest according to release date.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
My email. The that's my delivery window. But I ordered only 3 hours after it was announced. Blue was all ready sold out at that point. They really are selling like hot cakes. All the nay sayers are gonna eat their words LOL.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanbmw51:
I'm generally optimistic and I know that no one here could really answer this for sure but would it be completely out of the realm of possibility for them to ship earlier? Like this week? I'm really getting sick of this old s7 ;)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
In the past they have. Even when they give a window they have shipped early in the past. It's anyone's guess though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
This week. I highly doubt it. I would predict fine reviews by Monday or Tuesday and orders to go to processing next Wednesday

Last year with the 6P they gave me an estimate of October 30 – November 3, 2015 and I received the phone on Oct. 28th! (With free shipping)

The official release date for the 6P was Oct 27th according to this post https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/project-fi/Ykuy7r9T_DU So hopefully people who paid for expedited shipping will get their phones on or before the 20th and those with free shipping will get it Friday (the 21st)!

Well as of today still on preorder no pending or processing status. No movement on Sync. account, but I did received an e-mail this morning with a response from a support inquiry I made last week stating that my order is going well and my package was shipped and will arrived by the estimated Nov. 18-21 window. The strange part is that from where did my package shipped? lol Taiwan? As they mention they saw that I opted for one day shipping and I will recive my phone the next day it's ships "from the warehouse", really confused right now.

A little, but I know I'd be pissed 6 months from know when I'm deleting apps and wishing I had more space. If it was a T-mobile JOD phone, wouldn't care about 32 gig, but on a phone I will own, 128 GB will be worth it in long run and in resale.

I ordered a 128gb silver pixel xl on 10-5 late around 9 pm eastern. I signed up for project Fi and ordered phone, with sim, insurance and financing. Phone arrived on 10/24, is it possible that new Fi customers or Fi customers in general are receiving their phones before people who are just ordering from google? i have seen several people on here with order dates of 10-4 and same color who have not received phones.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
Not sure, but that's the only thing I can think of. I feel bad for people who ordered on the 4th and are still on preordered. To me that's crazy and I don't blame them for being upset. I ordered mine on the 14th after the second N7 recall, but I also preorded it knowing it would be a while. I was just happy to have been able to order one. I'm also find myself checking my status everyday. Can't imagine being a day 1 guy and still seeing "preordered".
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
I ordered on the 14th too since that was when the 128s came back in stock (I had a 32 order from when I found out I was going to have to return my Note7 for a second and final time, but jumped at the chance for a 128 and cancelled it)...ship dates were the same for both, but it does appear the 128s are falling way behind for many people whose ETAs have come and gone.

I have no problem waiting as I just wanted to get my order in and be done with stalking the site, but making that November 18-25 window (depending on expedited or not) would feel like a total win right now as I see people who ordered on launch day still not having theirs shipped, yikes lol

The Big Wait!!!

….So I’ve been following this thread and hoping that my order comes sooner than later but I’m totally not feeling at all optimistic at this point. After my Note 4 screen died I was in search for a Note 7 calling multiple stores a day with no luck then that plan got scrapped for obvious reasons and I found interest in the pixel. I wanted the XL 128GB which sold out fast so I was on the waiting list for every color, got the “back in stock” email thinking it would be held for waitlist and tried to buy only to get the out of stock/ waitlist message. Finally on Oct. 16th I just decided to order the 128GB regular sized pixel in very black which yielded a crazy shipment date of Nov 23 to Nov 25th…. Now I’m not calling google evil by any means however I think they are falling in the category of a company who loses sight of the true concept of a “pre order” which should benefit them as a verified sell along with helping gauge demands while also helping all that preorder receive their item in a timely manner (before someone can walk in a store and merely just buy one). The true frustration is that I’ve been walking around with my old Samsung S3 with a spider-web cracked screen that lags every other minute and freezes often wondering will I make it or should I just try to find another phone. I see that some people who pre-ordered on Oct 4th still have no phone which is crazy. Sorry for the rant but like many frustration has set in and needed to vent/rant. I may not even be in town Nov 23-25th as it will be Thanksgiving….

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
Excluding all the people who had orders cancelled mistakenly or ordered on 10/4 and still have preoreder status or other crazy things like that, I don't think Google has done that bad this time around. I think the Note 7 situation really caught them off guard. Think about it, how could you ever plan for what happened with the note. Then you add that it's the first Pixel phone and only have Nexus sales to go off of from last year. Not a very good formula for success in predicting demand in my opinion. My hope is that they only went with one carrier in the US this year to be safe, but then when they get us all hooked on the line they'll be more prepared and be available on every carrier. If they ran out this fast, how could they have hoped to have a chance to have enough stock to provide for all 4 major US carriers. I mean look at apple, same thing happens to them every year, of course on a bigger scale, but simply stated, not enough stock to meet demand. There is always memory or color variants of the iphone that are backordered with like 1 to 2 month waits. Especially since they started making the +'s. My wife ordered a silver ip7+ 128 GB to replace her N7 from Tmo on 10/9, her estimated ship dates are 11/1 - 11/30. When ordering, I found out that some color and memory variants had 12/1 to 12/30 ship dates. That's freaking nuts!

Now if Xiaomi Mi Mix was available to people in US on Nov 4 for $500 like it is to China, I'd cancel the pixel and get it and get the pixel 2 next year. That thing looks pretty darn sweet!

CS Chat says 128GB XL has stock issues

Ordered Oct 4th 4:14pm Pixel XL 128GB Quite Black and given Oct 21-24 est. delivery date. Oct 24th came and order still had PENDING. Contacted CS Chat and was handed to a "Shipping team Specialist". Here's what they wrote:

Angel I

4:34 PM

It looks like the orders been delayed due some stock issues with the 128 GB versions of the Pixel XL

Angel I

4:35 PM

I'm trying to see if I can find any timeline to the delays.

Angel I

4:38 PM

It looks like this has hit the Quite Black phones pretty hard. I'm currently not able to find a definitive date. We are working hard to get the phones stocked as quick as possible.

Angel I

4:39 PM

What I'd like to do is hold on to our case and keep tabs on your order. I'll also be reimbursing your shipping costs on this order since we won't be able to meet the estimated date originally given.​

Still waiting today and still my order says PENDING. My wife just got an iphone 7plus. Seriously thinking of ordering an iphone 7 plus concurrently, and cancelling the order of the other phone when one phone ships. Just hate the idea of giving up on Android after so many years. =(
