I did too thanks to nowinstock, but still just says January 17-18. Hopefully mine will also ship early. I actually got a previous notification from them a few weeks ago but didn't get the order completed quick enough.

So much for signing up for the waiting list back in Oct right after they sold out(still have heard anything from Google on it).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Google/Project FI came through: processed order overnight and shipped overnight for delivery tomorrow and they refunded my overnight charge.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Did you order from the google play store or from verizon / or a verizon dealer ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] klodjan91:
I ordered from google store bc I'm on T-Mobile. Idk what was going on but the delivery date changed from Jan. 17, 2017 to 12/15/2016 then 12/14/2016 and then again to today 12/15/2016. So yeah patiently waiting for this phone lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lovemyram4x4:
Early today I noticed the Google charge fell off my CC(site still shows my order), then I got a notification of a new Google charge.

Anyone know if this means they getting ready to ship or will they continue to recharge after it falls off if my estimated deliver date stays nearly 4 weeks away?

With other vendors if it took longer to ship than the charge to fall off I'd only get charged again once they shipped.

Edit:Noticed my order had gone back to processing (like when I first placed it) from pre-order and just now got a shipped email.

Now if slickwraps would ever get around to shipping my pixel skins, at least I got my intelliarmor pro already.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lovemyram4x4:
My pixel XL was delivered this morning. Over 3 weeks before estimated delivery date(happy about that part, not so much that it took so long just to be able to place order).

Ordered evening 12/12 (estimated delivery Jan 17-18)

Shipped evening 12/22

Delivered morning 12/23
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidKotzebue:
I spoke with a Verizon rep yesterday and was told the ship date for a silver 128gb xl that I ordered on 10/31/16 was pushed from 1/13/17 to 1/20/17. Well, just now I received a text that the device has shipped. Got a tracking number and it is expected 12/28/16. Not sure why, or if there is a motive, to be so far off in the estimated shipping dates. I guess it doesn't matter...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
This is encouraging... I just ordered a Silver 128gb on Christmas Eve with a ship date of February. Hoping mine comes a month early too!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] unknown_fa5:
Hey

How long were u on pending for if i may ask . I ordered my pixel xl QB on 12-18 just went from pre order to pending
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gsk3rd:
I ordered my blue XL on 12/19 and have a ship date of 12/28. The excitement is killing me.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lovemyram4x4:
I don't recall seeing pending, only pre-order and processing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gsk3rd:
I have been in processing since day 1.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lovemyram4x4:
Mine started as processing, then went to pre-orded. Earlier on the day it shipped it went back to processing (it also re-charged my CC).

Those are just what I saw though. It could have said pending between processing and shipped or some other time.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gsk3rd:
Mine just got delayed until 2/17!!!!!!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
How long can it take to make these phones? This is seriously annoying. That is my ship date as well.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
My ship date was 1/20 and yesterday morning I saw a date of 2/17 as well. Later in the day (when I called in) it went back to 1/20. Call *611 to confirm your ship date, because it may be a glitch like on my "processing" orders.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gsk3rd:
Yep confirmed it is 2/17.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Did they explain why you got pushed back a month? That's insane. I wonder if the slow progress is Google or the parts Google needs.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp1289:
If Samsung can meet demand for their phones on release there's no excuse for Google. They need to get their **** together this is horrible. If I wasn't such a die hard pure Android person I wouldn't be waiting.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] serialtoon:
Uhhhhh.....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] VI510N:
^^^^ There shipping! Congrats have the same config on order from Fi, just waiting for an update lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I CANT FEEL MY LEGS!!!!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] seezar:
My order changed from preorder to pending last week. It's not until it changes to processing that they are close to shipping it out.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] serialtoon:
Wtf!!!!!!!!!!! It changed back to pending! Lolololol! :crying::crying::crying:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
Wtf. Someone hit the wrong button.

For those who got late Nov. shipping dates:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
My original delivery date was Oct 26-28 via Project Fi. It now says Pending and I got a mysterious $1.00 test charge from Google Services on my charge card (a card I haven't used before for orders w/Google).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
My date was November 18th...but I just ordered last night lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 92slammer:
Google trolling you big time. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
I would call them out on that one. Tell them they owe you a free google home for your emotional distress. Lol

You had me sideways for a few minutes there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
I know lol. I checked mine and was like wtf. I paid for expedited on first day and mine hasn't shipped too? But that sucks. Maybe that's a sign they will ship them tomorrow. :crossedfingers:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
For real? I ordered on the 6th and got Nov. 23-25

This IS a true story?!?!?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
He may have got a different spec. And yes that's a true story. Check out his post. Screen shot saying shipped. Then back to pending.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tacosrdelicioso:
You know how many times people shopped their order status pages last year???? DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER???!!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
I gave up on trying to get a 128GB XL in either color after almost of week stalking the store...gave in when Silver 32GB XL came back in stock...I have a feeling you got a 128GB XL and Google seems to have misjudged demand on those...you never know though, yours might still ship a lot sooner.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] init_dot_t:
God. So many people it was stupid and extremely annoying. What I have learned is to believe no one unless this thread blows up with a ton of shipping confirmations and proof of origin scans from known google shipping locations.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Ha ha, BINGO! Not saying that's what happened, just that I remember everyone was doing it
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Hate to be a buzz kill but can you imagine how shipping early would impact some customers? Shipping early means customers get charged. Some folks may have ordered knowing they would have funds available on or before said date.

I'm not thinking these are gonna ship early. :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
That's the customers problem. You should all ready right that off as spent. Google made sure those funds could be drawn when you purchased it. If someone spent that then they will be overdrawn and that would be their problem.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
1. They ship early every year. It's always been a matter of how early

2. It would not be Google's fault that a consumer pre-ordered a product that they don't have funds for. If there are not funds in your account they are not going to hold up the majority of orders. They'll either put your order on hold or cancel. Google absolutely won't hold orders simply because some people thought it would ship a week later.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
It's not good business to do that to people. I do not have this issue but that consideration needs to thought about when shipping and charging customers earlier than what's stated when they ordered.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elisoulos:
Yeah but for the vast majority Google shipping early is good customer service and exceeding expectations. I have to agree that they probably won't hold back on shipping for that reason.

It's more likely that they would have in their agreement with Verizon that they can't ship early... Fingers crossed that they don't
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
We shall see won't we.

I ordered a Black 128gb XL with expedited shipping and a delivery time of 10/21 to 10/24. Trust me, I'm as anxious as you guys but I will be surprised to see these come prior to 10/20.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
So Google is supposed to be responsible for people overspending and not having available funds. Since when has that ever been the problem of any retailer. Not being rude to you I just think that is absurd to assume the retailer is going to take anyone's bad financial practices into consideration. Don't spend it if you don't have it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] piXEIEXip:
It works like this. When you Pre-Order, depending on the type of card you are using different steps happen. If you are using a Credit Card, google will check to see if you have an adequate limit to cover the cost of the purchase, they sometimes put an authorization on the account for the total of the purchase. Depending on your bank and they ype of card you are using there might be a HOLD for the entire amount until it ships. My account had a HOLD on the entire purchase price. On monday of this week it dropped off and then reappeared again with a seperate $1 charge. They are checking if the funds are good and normally preparing for shipment.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Agree it's exceeding expectations for the vast majority but let's face it....the smart phone market is as competitive as ever and causing an issue with customers by charging them earlier than expected only drives them elsewhere.

Again, I would love to have mine ship ASAP but I can understand why these may not ship prior to the scheduled dates.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
It more than exceeds expectations. It's a ridiculous assumption that you can spend money you don't actually have and then be mad at the company you purchased something from prior to spending the money you vouched would be available by agreeing to the payment. Anyone who would be offended by that has a twisted sense of reality.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
Let me put this a different way. Let's say your car payment is due on the 12th of each month and you have it set up on direct debit for the 12th. Your bank however decides that they will pull your payment on the 1st, prior to your pay day....how would you react? Would you be OK with your bank saying "not our fault you overspent". I'm guessing you would be looking for an alternative bank and wouldn't finance through them again. Why? It's bad business.

It's the same concept my friend.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] piXEIEXip:
The second you authorized them to debit or charge your card you agree to let them take or hold the funds. They tell you the expected ship date and you agree at check out.

They covered their ass, you just gotta actually read the terms and conditions...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Wow. Purchasing an item on preorder is not necessarily a contract to be executed on a certain date. It's a preorder. You are committing your funds to google and you give them the right to withdraw them at any time. They don't need to account for anything besides getting you the product you purchased.

You shouldn't have an expectation that a company or group of people will look out for your finances for you. They aren't your parents. If someone can't afford the phone, they shouldn't preorder it. They should wait until they can afford it. Simple.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ehollis:
So. What is your delivery date?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
That is the most ridiculous analogy lol. Don't spend money you don't have. It's pretty simple.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elisoulos:
Let me put your example into this perspective... It's more like you went and bought a car (the phone) and than you agreed to finance it with monthly payments and the bank decided to charge you on a different day. In other words, you willingly bought the car on that day and yes it would be bad practice for them to change they day they charge you for financing. But, regardless, you bought the car on day 1 and that is what is being debated
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
C'mon. You know paying a bill is not the same as you deciding to pre-order a phone.

Never mind the fact that the Terms state, "When you place an order for a Device on the Google Store, you permit Google to charge the credit card, debit card or other payment method you have chosen for your purchase in the total amount of your order (including any shipping charges and taxes)." This is Google saying that you will be charged, have the money available or don't place an order.

In any event, we're all excited.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
No one said anyone would need to look put for anyone's finances. It state however that you would charged based on when your item ships and you are given a delivery window based on the shipping you selected.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Try not to make wild assumptions regarding what I am saying.

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------

That analogy is 100% accurate.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

I just looked at my order email and it states I won't be charged until my item ships.

If a customer who was buying this device had bills to pay but would have money in their account on the expected ship date (based on delivery selected and delivery window) then how is that the customers fault if Google chose to pull payment and send the device early?

I personally do not have this problem but I hope you can see how this could impact a certain % of customers creating a bad purchasing experience.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] seezar:
Well regardless, last year they shipped the Nexus 5x about a week early.

Orders for the Nexus 6p last year that were estimated to be shipped in 6-8 weeks shipped weeks earlier.

There is a precedent. Don't preorder with Google using a debit with funds you don't already have to spend.

Inventory seems to be all over the place. I am having a very hard time justifying a $1000 phone. The 128GB Pixel XL with the protection plan is $968.

Holy cow Google... May have to look at getting a used 6P.

Keep refreshing the page for those trying to order and also do the steps out of order. I managed to snag it by selecting color then the size. Also my date is Oct 26-28 for XL in Black.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

The only reason I considered doing this was related to the unlimited full resolution upload support. I'm running out of my 100GB plan!!

And I wanted a bump up from the Nexus 6 that would work on Verizon. I thought about trying to get a Xiaomi Mi5s Plus and seeing if I could get it to work but the feature package for the Pixel got me.

Not even possible to order here in Norway :( :(

And no timeframe at all for when it will be available.

I guess Google don't want my money.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adamsweeting:
I saw that CPW had an earlier date, so I went to cancel my Google Store Pre-Order - and for some reason decided to check my bank balance, and it looks to me very much like the money for the Pixel XL has already gone...

So I've left my order in with Google. I couldn't afford for the cost of 2 Pixel XL's to fly out of my account in one go!

Black 128G with Oct 21-24 date here...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyfiore75:
Initially I ordered 128G Black XL Pixel and the estimated shipping was late October. Then I decided I've had enough of black phones, cancelled my order, and ordered the 128G Silver XL Pixel. Now my phone isn't estimated for shipping until the end of November, haha. Either that 5 minute difference equated to a month later shipment or the silver isn't as readily available as the black.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
My credit card has not been charged for the product and my credit limit on my card has not been impacted. I ordered minutes after preorder was available and have a delivery window of 10/21-10/24.

You are right in that they say they can take the funds but in the same breath they mention you wont be charged until your order ships.

If a customer has their order cancelled because Google pulled payment way before it was anticipated they can do that but do you feel like that customer would want to do Bui was with Google again? Probably not. Google needs your money more than you need their phone.

---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

I have plenty of money to spend but if you look at this from a big picture perspective, I doubt these will ship early.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] seezar:
But there are people that have orders saying they'll ship in the middle to end of November.

Those could ship much earlier and based on previous years some will.

I've yet to hear complaints in previous years that some were charged and received their phone earlier than they were told.

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.
