The only reason I had to justify the price for any of the Pixel line was the unlimited uncompressed photo/video storage. I take a lot of photos for work and like the convenience of the transfer Drive offers. I would probably be happy with a 6p but I'm coming from the Nexus 6 (Shamu). The only thing I'm hoping is that it's not limited to just photos/videos taken from that device. Meaning if I get the Google Pixus 7 (kidding... or am I?) I have the same grandfathered option.

But that's me being optimistic.

The only thing I can suggest is to pop the SIM card in and see what network it shows you're connected to at the home screen. Or go to the mobile settings and see what services it lists.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] InfiniteReality:
I know it's a Sprint SIM for sure, but if I pop it into my S7E I should be able to get more information off it, right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] professorfares:
I'm in the same boat. Ordered 10/4 128gb quite black. Tracking stuck in "Label created" in MIRA LOMA, CA US. Does your tracking also show MIRA LOMA? I'm just wondering if they got stuck there or something. Did you end up reordering? I'm going to wait a few more days.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
Yes, Mira Loma.... I've been pressing for an answer since Oct. 20th, the day it should have delivered. Was reassured over and over everything was okay. After delivery window of 21st through 24th had passed I initiated a trace with FedEx but cancelled it almost immediately cause I was told by Google the package had not shipped but that it would soon. On Wednesday I received a follow up from Google saying a refusal ticket had been created. Nobody could tell me what a refusal ticket is. But must likely they'd be issuing me a refund. Finally this past Friday I was told they refunded to my Google store account and that I would need to reorder. The refund still hasn't shown up. I was able to order again when a different color phone in the same size as original became available Friday. I was only able to do that because Synchrony increased my credit limit enough to order another phone. I am so pissed. Delivery is Nov. 28th-30th. I think there is a whole trailer of phones sitting waiting to be picked up at Ingram Micro, the fulfillment center. Maybe they are aware of it maybe not. Was your label created Oct. 19th? I don't truly know if they refunded my initial charge yet or not. I've been told so many different things. That original phone may show up some day. I don't know what you should do. I could have forced them to give me a refund on the 25th after missing the delivery window but as it had become apparent that nobody I was talking to knew what the hell is going on or certainly wasn't sharing it, I thought maybe just maybe my phone would show up late last week. But if they really did refund my charge, that would indicate to me that they are aware of a screw up but not willing to be transparent about it. We seem to be part of an even smaller batch whose label was created but never received our phone. Most people seem to be in pre-order purgatory. The only compensation I've been offered was a follow-up email telling what to do on the re-order to get free expedited shipping. Well guess what. that email came in a couple hours after I had re-ordered and I didn't select expedited shipping since it was of no use on the initial order so I couldn't take advantage of that. Man did they ever screw a lot of us.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] professorfares:
I got the "Your Project Fi Order from 10/4 has shipped" email on 10/20. My delivery window was (and still is) 26-28. I used Synchrony financing as well. I found a thread on the Oculus forums from 2 years ago where some people had their tracking stuck at "Label Created". Their shipment was eventually delivered and the tracking still said "Label Created". I'm hoping the same happens to us. I'm unable to post the link here because I have < 10 posts. You can search "oculus fedex label created".

There was a fire recently in Mira Loma, that could have added to the delay. (Neighboring resident of Morgan hill)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
Was this fire at the Ingram Micro facility?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
Oops so sorry, I quickly read your question. I was thinking of a different location( loma fire)

That's okay. I was hoping to find a valid reason for my phone to seemingly have vanished into cyberspace.

Ordered a Pixel XL 128GB from Verizon on Oct 14th. Showed it would be delivered by Oct 20th until the night before when it changed to back ordered until Nov 18th. Well today I received a text that said

Your order was received on 10/30/2016. You'll receive a text message with tracking information when your order ships.

Chatted with Verizon and they confirmed it's shipping soon. Hopefully that's true. Any other Verizon preorders out there get a text?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tommyntpham:
Basicly the same thing happened to me. I didn't receive a text but money was taken out of my account and my ship date went to 10/30 now. Ordered 10/14 og ship date of 10/28
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
guys now for new order the ship 11/3-11/7

i gone to cancel the my order that ship 11/23-11/25

and order again ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dowlf:
I did the same thing last year with the 6p. Canceled my early order that was still 3 or 4 weeks out and reordered and received it within a few days. Not sure why Google can't get their act together on these launches.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jj71787:
Maybe they do it on purpose to get you to cancel so they don't have to send you a free VR
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TypoCorrecto:
Diabolical Google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Spyke562:
That is another concern I have. My phone is supposed to ship Nov 25th...if we don't get our VR codes in time will they still honer them after Dec?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
That's interesting. What are you gonna do? I wasted five days waiting for it to show up. I should have gone ahead and reordered last Tuesday. I know you want it now but you might get quicker to have them go ahead and refund you and then reorder. If you don't have enough credit limit ask Synchrony to increase your line enough to cyber a second phone telling them what happened. They did it for me. It took roughly sixty hours for my refund to show up with Synchrony. Good luck
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RiChDAiLLeST1:
Got my Pixel XL 128gb today. Picked it up off of someone from Craigslist. I love this phone, I'm coming from a note 7 and lg v20. I'm glad I made the switch. Fastest device I have ever owned! I'm so excited even got the phone at close to regular price, no mark up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
my first order was 10/5 after two weeks pending google decline my credit card and they cancelled the order then i order again with update my credit card after that i receive this email from google
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] professorfares:
I'll wait till Monday afternoon. If nothing moves by then, I'll give them another call. If they still don't know where the package is, I think I'll give up on this one and reorder. Btw, did you get an email or something from Synchrony? I received no emails regarding Synchrony and I don't know how I can check my account.

So did you receive a follow up email with a solution and also the screenshot, is that replacements from you initial order and will you be receiving them "soon"? Every time I talked to someone at Google I kept telling they must have some contingency in place to take care of the type situations we have found ourselves in so that we wouldn't have to go to the end of the line but they said no... They could refund my money once the initial order window passed which is what they eventually did. I found stock available after they refunded (that's a whole different issue considering I used the google financing if you want to read the other threads) and jumped on it cause I'd been monitoring stock availability and knew they'd be gone instantly. So my first shipping label was created on the 19th, never received that phone and was finally refunded on the 28th and reordered another phone and now it's scheduled for Nov. 28th-30th.

VERIZON 128GB BLACK order date 10/14 og ship date 10/28-10/30 has officially been shipped as of right now! shipped from ups but no update yet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] quantump8:
Verizon 128GB Black also. Ordered 10/14, org ship date 10/28, got an email saying wont ship until 12/2. Just received an email this morning with fedex tracking number and should be here wednesday. We shall see.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
for those of you wondering if you Verizon phone will come with November update, I'm going to say you have a pretty good chance it won't if you get it before the first half of November. I just received my 128 black from Verizon today and it has build NDE63N which if I'm correct that was the first version of the October release. My security patch is October 5, 2016. So unless you get a brand new edition fresh off the assembly line. You probably be safe as long as your phone ships before November. YMMV but that's my guess.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I emailed google last night about how I was concerned about people's orders were getting pushed to December . Also stated that I have the note 7 and I would like to return it asap due to the recall issue and needed a phone. Here's a screenshot of their response.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
Hence the reason I've given up contacting Google until things settle down. They've obviously employed some temps to help handle the deluge of calls, emails, chats etc. after screwing this up tremendously. Most of these employees aren't even making sense now. Two weeks ago when I first began contacting them I was talking to people that could at least complete a sentence but in the last six days, they are increasingly either uneducated or the language barrier is preventing them from making any sense. I trust that Google will somehow make everything right for all of us that have been screwed due to cancelled orders, lost orders, lost packages........ Until then, I'm leaving them alone. They refunded me on Friday, I re-ordered and scheduled delivery is one month and eight days past the package they originally shipped but I do want the phone and calling, emailing, chatting has gotten me nowhere. I'm optimistic that I'll receive that phone possibly sooner than the scheduled date based on some of the posts of more recent orders that have already received their phones despite ordering long after I did on launch day. We'll see.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
i got same email before week. but yesterday cancelled my order that ship 11/23-11/25 and reorder. now my order status : processing with 1 day business

What date were you able to get the reorder in on?

I've kept both my preorders (ETA 11.18-11.21 and 11.23-11.25), but they both still show preorder and I haven't received the email stating that my date is getting pushed out, so I'm not really sure what's going on...

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
any new order now ship 3 - 4 days
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ResistanceDown:
Interesting...I had a feeling that might be the case and I placed an order 3 days ago...but it is still in pre-order.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Yeah mine from 7 days ago still says preorder, but the only dates that came up were all November. So I picked expidited shipping and got Nov 18-21
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
Yeah, I placed an order 3 days ago also and it's still in pre-order.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ResistanceDown:
ugh, now I feel like Google is just trolling us. I guess i'll turn my Now in Stock alert back on
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwkick:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about them trolling. When I ordered on Friday the XL in very blue was the only thing in stock so I jumped on it. On my initial preorder I ordered XL very silver. Today when I've checked there have been NO XL's in stock
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
That's weird about the Oct. 30th order and now shipping since the XL has been out of stock for over a week (Quite Black anyway).

This happened last year and the year prior. The people who ordered on launch get stuck in pre-order hell while the early November orders are fulfilled within a week or so.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ResistanceDown:
Now in stock says that it's come available a couple times just today.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
Ok well look at the 128g Quite Black XL...says last time available was the 21st. How could it be ordered on the 30th?

I'm convinced that the availability information that we have is simply wrong. Also, are we expected to believe that Google gets more units, maybe 20 at a time and then get sold out within a few minutes?

Since the Nexus 5 I've waiting until after the initial rush, and have never waited more than a week or so for delivery.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ResistanceDown:
I would be inclined to agree with you if it wasn't for DinarQ8's experience from ordering yesterday.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dagentooboy:
I had a note 7 so they said they filled out a jump the line form.... not sure it did anything though. I would have ordered it from google but the 20% off code that Verizon emailed me for my note 7 still worked on the XL. Maybe they are putting anyone who used a promo code at the back of the line.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
What that user was able to do kind of reaffirms my thought where the availability information is a joke. They have stock, but are strategically allowing that little "Order Now" button on the Pixel page.

I can't believe that a new shipment comes, the site is updated, then droves of people who were sitting there at the site waiting to order, all click that button at the same time.

I ordered a Black Pixel XL 128gb on 10/14 through Verizon website. My expected ship date was 10/28, I too received email stating that my order has been pushed out to Dec 2nd.

What was the point of preordering on 10/4 if we aren't even some of the first to get the phone.. I feel like the phone is gonna be old news by the time I get it. Preordered cause I wanted to be one of the first to own it. Google Store let me down and I honestly don't think I'll ever preorder a Google phone again.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] manners400:
The status of the pixel XL’s have definitely changed in/out of stock multiple times because I purchased one a few days ago on Oct 28 (black XL 128GB) and it gave me the same ship date of Nov 23rd-25th as my original order on Oct 16th (black regular Pixel 128GB) and now I’m waiting to see which actually comes first. Both still say “Pre-ordered”

On another note I went to a Verizon store today and played with both the XL and the regular pixel in efforts to see which size I really wanted and it only made me even more confused lol. The unit is very well constructed however it feels light and comfortable. They both seemed very snappy and although I ordered the black all colors appeared fine in my opinion. I was surprised that the store still had both units available in-store but only 32GB….Pre-ordering has definitely not been beneficial to many of us so far.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
Exactly.. Why would Google or Verizon ever fill a new order, when someone has already preordered the exact model? Perhaps it keeps people interested in ordering, but it doesn't seem like a good way to treat your devoted customers. I'm definitely not as excited about it, as I was when I ordered it.

before this order i have 2 original order

1- in 10/5 ship it should ship 10/23-10/25 but after 14 day pending google decline my credit card

That makes me that much closer in cancelling my order and telling google to shove it...when you buy a few hours after launch and are still waiting that's complete bs.......
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dvst8:
So, when I contacted Google about mine still being in preorder when ordered on 10/4 I was told it depended on the warehouse closest to you as to when you will get yours. That is ridiculous that we are having to wait while others get theirs because the warehouse they want to use for us is out of stock...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dagentooboy:
I used that code on mine. I put my Note 7 in my verizon cart and then closed the window. Every week Verizon would email me a new code.... SAVE10..... SAVE15.... and SAVE20. So when I ordered my Pixel I tried it and it worked.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
Of course I called and they told me that even though my status shows "preordered" that on their end it shows "processing" with no problems. Who knows what in the world is going on. Well, at least I can say I'm supposed to receive my phone "this month" now...lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vacaloca:
Ordered a 128 GB black from Verizon yesterday w/ SAVE20. Hopefully it ships before the bootloader unlock is patched. Didn't realize inventory was trickling out from Google directly, will have to stalk the NowInStock page at around the time that they've been releasing inventory.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jj71787:
they told me the same thing
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
They told me that as well, and it was about a week ago :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
It is frustrating seeing it's status just sit there at the "preordered" stage, but isn't it a good thing to be getting the second or third bunch of manufactured phones? Or is this just something we tell ourselves to make us feel better??:confused::confused::confused::D:D:D I have always wondered if there was really any truth to that though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
I wonder if the reason I always see "Out of stock" in the Google Store, is because my nearest warehouse is out? While others are able to place new orders for a 128 GB XL, every day. Probably won't change anything, but I'm going to turn off my location services for a while, and see if that helps. "Ridiculous." Well said...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Branson28:
Hmm I wonder if that really is something to be happy about lol. idk, its just upsetting that we know they have been sending out the model/storage size that we ordered to other people that ordered after us. Yet we are still stuck seeing ""preordered" every day
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] g00s3y:
Also, I ordered through Fi, not the google store. They seem to prioritize Fi orders over the store orders as most people purchasing from fi, are using the service also.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
That's the dumbest excuse I've heard yet. And it's also B.S. People in the same cities were getting devices from Illinois and from California. How could they get it to you quicker if they don't even ship it. It would be quicker to mail it from any warehouse in the U.S. than to wait weeks for one to be re stocked. They don't know what's going on. They just give answers to questions they don't know the real answer to.
