You're charged when it ships but again, you still agreed to pay when ordered. You are entering into an agreement when you place your order.

In your scenario, the customer is fiscally irresponsible if they choose to order before they have funds, when they should instead wait until they do.

I hope you can understand the number of customers that this affects is likely so small and if someone falls into this situation then they are at fault, not Google.

If I receive my phone early my experience was great. The number of users who receive their device early, who were responsible enough to have their funds ready, likely far outnumbers the opposite and their purchasing experience is important too.

Edit: Failed quote attempt[/QUOTE]

Of course the % is small compared to those who would like their device early. But why as a company would you risk upsetting even 1% of your customer base by charging a customer early. Something you as the company can easily control? Google can exceed expectations in the product they deliver....not by delivering it early.

It's the same if you financed the device through Google and they started pulling your monthly payments before the anticipated date. You and I may have plenty of money to cover that unexpected deduction of funds at that time but there are a good % that can't. Ever wonder why they offer a financing option? It's an additional source of revenue and it's casting a net to folks who can't pony up $900 at the drop of a hat.

I have read countless posts from folks who attempted to buy this device and were denied for financing. Your customers don't alway make the best choices with money (obviously they are not credit worthy anymore) so taking it earlier than expected can have a negative impact on current and future business with said customer (even if said customer is better off financially in the future).

I thought we were all discussing this matter? Should we just go back to saying we wish the device would ship early and just keep repeating that?

If you cant keep up with the conversation then you're free to bring up any other topic you would like. I'm discussing preorders though, in the preorder thread.

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

Maybe you're right. But as much as we all want our devices and throw out predictions on shipping I hope you see my point that it's not as easy as just "sending em all out early".

I do hope I get mine early BTW.

No your not. You are going on and on about an absurd concept in where the individual is not responsible for their actions. It has nothing to do with pre orders. Do you notice how No One here agrees with you. You have hijacked this discussion to somehow justify your first statement which was ridiculous. When you use a card to buy something you have entered a contract to make that payment at that time. It does not matter how you feel. That's the contract. By entering your security code it's just as good as signing an actual credit card receipt. Once you sign it, you spent that. You can't convince me a corporation needs to be responsible for someone over extending their available funds to buy an expensive phone. Maybe that person needs a reality check and to get their priorities straight. People are responsible for their actions, not Google.

It will ship when it ships

You obviously have read nothing I have written because you are failing to see other factors at play that a company like Google needs to account for when sending devices early.

Just go back to posting about how you wish your device was in your hand and let the adults talk. :)

Since your the OP, I shall comply. I will say this topic was the most interesting discussion of the 40 pages.

Pixel XL Quite Black 128gb Ordered on the 4th around 1330 and got a delivery date of Oct 24-26. Order is still pending as of today.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DerpleNerple2000:
Ordered probably within 30 minutes of the announcement. Expected to arrive October 26-28th, and I picked the free shipping. C'mon Google, You are already screwing us with these prices... you could AT LEAST give us free 2 day shipping

I ordered two 128G Black 5" models on Oct 9th and my shipping dates are not until Nov 23-25 :crying:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmbfan13:
I feel your pain. I ordered mine on Oct 5th, and have the same shipping dates! Hoping they ship earlier!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Holy crap! That was a day after mine and I got 21-24th. They sure are selling fast.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:

I hope they start shipping these soon....

Well... Until Monday everyone. Going to try to get something done besides refresh this and play store page.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hanwinting:
its IN STOCK now. just ordered pixel XL black. delivery date Nov 25-26 :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrwicked:
Sure glad the "wait list" notified me. Black is out of stock AGAIN :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jota164:
Same here. ?

That's what I said. Luckily I saw a post on Reddit. Refreshed my laptop like 10 times until I was able to add it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrwicked:
Finally got the black xl 128. So google sent me a $100 promo for my next "Pixel XL" order since mine was canceled on their side from technical difficulties and guess what?? It didn't work lol. So now they are claiming they will just refund $100 when my device ships. Now just need to sell my HTC 10.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
I have to say a BIG THANKS to socalracer!!!! Earlier in this thread he advised me to use...

https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/mobilephones/unlocked/googlepixel/

Signed up, set my preferences for 128 GB XL Black or Silver and got an email tonight when it was back in stock. Got the Black XL 128. Of course, Nov 18-21 is when it says I'll get it. Gonna be a long month. Thanks again socalracer, you the man!!

PS - I was on the Google wait list as well and didn't get a darn thing from it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
That's an earlier expected ship date than mine for the same exact model and I ordered mine on the 4th!! ??

Glad you got your order in tho, man!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] onebelo:
waiting list sign up failed me .. luckily, i had randomly check the site just in case and just so happens it was in stock. ordered Silver 128gb XL .. est Nov 18-21 .. cant wait! One month though grrrrrr :D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
After the protection plan and tax, I figured I was paying a grand for the damn thing, what the hell, pay $20 for expedited shipping. I'm gonna need it since I'm typing this with my replacement Note 7...LOL

The black is still available on the project fi site.

Ooohh. Power down!!! We want you to live to enjoy your pixel. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
I can almost guarantee Verizon will ship before the 20th. They have with every other pre-order I am aware of. Devices usually show up at your home on launch day or even a day or two earlier.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
Lol...sad thing is both the notes I had haven't gotten hot at all. Buggy at times, but not hot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Cancelled 32 XL and managed to snag a 128 XL a little bit ago...forgot to add expedited shipping though in my rush to checkout after having an hour long ordeal with all sorts of crazy...happy to wait the extra few days though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Congrats on the earlier ship date! Hopefully that means mine will ship sooner since I ordered sooner (no harm if it doesn't, I'll just be a little salty from the extra week's wait ?)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
Still holding out hope that these are gonna ship a lot sooner. I'll be mad as hell if mine doesn't come in till Nov. 25th when I ordered it right after the announcement lol. I very rarely pre-order anything, but was really looking forward to the Pixel so pulled the trigger very early.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skitts:
Damm ! I ordered it on the same Day it was announced (oct 4) and I have to wait till Nov 21-24 :'(

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
So crazy to me! People that are just now ordering getting Oct. 20-25 dates. Customer service was no help to me either. I'm stuck constantly checking my order to see if the dates change lmao

Now that it's officially Saturday.... about 2-3 more days for those orders to change to processing... maybe 1-2, anybody excited?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
I know, right!? Congrats guys!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I would think they have to ship Monday. So people with free shipping could have their device by launch.

Here's hoping you're absolutely right!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I better be. Or I will head to Illinois, visit my in-laws, then go kick in the door of the Carroll stream, IL shipping location, get my pixel. And overnight everyone else's phone to them.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lorloff:
Hopefully it's coming from Carol Stream like last year. My 5x Shipped on the 19th and was delivered the 20th. The official launch date of the 5X was the 22nd. Hoping it goes the same way this year. Shipping the 18th...

Oh it's nice being 15 minutes from the Carol Stream IL facility. Standard shipping = overnight :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
Yeah. I'm about 7hrs. My in-laws are only a few hours south.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Assuming they're on their way to regional hubs for shipping. Really hope to see it Thursday, if not Thursday at least some kind of tracking number with a Friday delivery date.. If not it's going to be a bummer weekend next week.. I would be more confident if they didn't feel the need to include Verizon in the mix, could be some agreement in place to ensure it launches first through a carrier.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
I just need my order to change to pending finally
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I first thought Verizon could hold back shipping. But the more I think about it I imagine google just couldn't tell us its shipping Before Verizon. Opps. Google accidentally shipped all XDA users pixel orders a few days early. Lol. Besides. They need to ship early to make sure customers get their orders on time in case weather affects shipping. Ha

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjimenezjj:
Orderer my Pixel XL (128 GB, Quite Black) a few minutes after it officially went on pre-order. Right now, it's "pending" with a delivery date of Oct. 21st - 24th (overnight shipping).

Interestingly, I saw pending charges from Google in my bank account, but that disappeared the next day :-/

Now, which case to get?

Originally I ordered a 32g Black XL on the first day bit then regretted it because who knows how large VR apps are gonna be. Yesterday the 128g XL's came back in Stock so I ordered one.

Sad to say I'm back to pre-ordered status with Nov 18-21 as my date. That's with expedited shipping. I just have to tell my self to be patient..... Many times haha
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
I'm in the same boat as you, except I ordered maybe one or two hours sooner. Still, to me it's weird how we ordered the first day it went up and it shows those dates

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
I think if you ordered it from the project fi site rather than the google store, you got earlier shipping dates. I checked out both (thinking erroneously that there might be a discount if I purchased it through my project fi account) and noticed the difference in shipping estimates.

Well I believe it kind of was in question. Otherwise I don't see how her clearly being Canadian is relevant to the discussion at all. No need to argue about it, just pointing out that she is likely in California.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
All her other videos are makeup reviews. Lol. And its pretty clear its her first unboxing. Why she has it. We don't know. Maybe google picked random YouTube reviewers. Its obvious they are spending tons on marketing on This phone. SHE does have 13k followers on twitter.

I ordered mine from VZW last week. The order page, as well as my email show that it will arrive no later than Thursday. Another place on VZW's website shows now that it will ship no later than Thursday. Either way, I hope to have it by Monday. I ordered a 128 GB Pixel XL in Black. I really wanted to get it from Google, but the pre-order was sold out (WTF?!?). The fact that Verizon & Google stated that the phone will receive updates at the same time regardless of purchase location, and and another source stated that the VZW crapware can be removed was all I really needed to hear. I mainly wanted to get in so I could get the free VR accessory, but my Turbo 2 has been annoying to use recently, and my Nexus 6 is too big to be comfortable to use on a daily basis.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
