I think I'm just going to pick up the Pixel non-XL. I can get the 128GB black tomorrow. Or I can wait 2.5 months (!!!) and get my Pixel XL. Pretty simple choice for me. Now, I just need to argue with Verizon to get the Christmas promo price on the Pixel that I had on the Pixel XL. That will make or break this...

But considering I have 7 lines on my account and pay them $4000/year, I think they'll be nice.

XL 128, QB, ordered mid December, still says 1/20
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SomeFknGuy:
How do you even check? When I do I show my order, which was placed 12/3 and it gives me the order number, however it shows a Location Code and "In Store Pickup"... Does this mean my phone is at the Verizon store waiting on me? Wouldn't I have gotten some sort of notification of this?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
What order status number do I even check anymore? Before the email i had an order status number and when i check that number it still says 1/06/17, then when i got the email, it said 3/10 but now it gave me a new PREorder status number?? But when i check that new number it also says expected ship date 1/06/17???????? Huh? :confused:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
I was reading some replies on Verizon's Facebook page and it might be that those e-mails were a mistake and that they were sent out accidentally. I'm not positive but at least one person started going after VZW and when they looked into his situation the ship date was still about a week from now (not March). I checked mine, which was ordered on 12/24 and it still shows an expected ship date of 02/17 which is what I was told from the beginning. I'm hoping this was just a mistake, for all of us obviously.

One thing is for certain... VZW, Google, and HTC aren't saying anything. And quite honestly, this is a product launch fail at this point. There is no way they didn't have a clue to how popular these would be and even if they didn't know in October they certainly did by mid to late November. There is no excuse for these delays in January and possibly going into March. This is Android, not iPhone, that is only updated once yearly. Hopefully my ship date doesn't change the moment I hit the post button. :/
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
For real, they knew they were extremely hyping up the phone with advertisements, they should have made up the stock supply for the demands, whoever calculated this failed the math numbers. The phone is getting older and older each day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
It's so confusing reading all the responses on both Facebook and Twitter. One moment I think this is all one big mistake (e-mail was accidentally sent) then the next it appears this added delay is really happening. Mind boggling to say the least.

Since I technically am not expecting mine until mid February anyway, if they added another two weeks it would be nearly the same wait. Not that I want that of course but my options are limited. Big reason for me getting the Pixel XL is the $8.33/month with a trade-in. I can't touch that with anything else. I could change and get the Moto Z Force now and pay close to $10/month with trade-in (would have been free if I did that two weeks ago). Or go with the Galaxy S8 when it is released but then it'll be at least $30/month. For now I'm waiting and hoping that enough people get so irritated that they leave Verizon and my ship date is bumped up. :) You never know.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
Ill just keep my order going since there's no other phones worthy of upgrading from my s6 edge plus besides the pixel currently, s7 edge is only an incremental upgrade and doesn't do much more than what mine does already. But at this rate let's see how this goes, hopefully it was an error. Where are you checking on facebook and twitter? I want to join the fun.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeeter35:
I talked with Verizon last night and was told that all Pixel xl QB 128 were being pushed back. My date is pushed to 3/10/17. My original ship date was 1/6/17 I even called to verify shipping yesterday and was told it was still going to ship but held up by the weather. Now my order status has changed saying my order will not be shipped and scheduled and I'll receive an email when it ships. This is unacceptable. So time to go shopping for new carrier!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Checked my orders just now, QB and VS XL128s. Both re-ordered on 12/17 with expected ship date of 1/20, and both still have that information. No change.

A couple weeks ago I was told by a VZW rep that some people who preorder phones fail billing for any number of reasons, and if billing fails they get put back at the end of the line. Happens a LOT with phones ordered over the holidays he said. That's why you may get your phone shipped earlier than expected (and by and large that seems to be what was happening).

Also a couple weeks ago on a different day I checked MyVzw account and showed an expected ship date of 2/17. That was reverted within a couple hours and had been a mistake likely due to 2/17 being entered as the new ship date for new, not pending, orders. It wouldn't be unfathomable for that mistake to have happened again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeeter35:
My date was 1/6 even after I received the email with the date change. The funds have been and are always available in my account. Verizons only excuse is because of demand they can't meet the shipping dates. I went to verizons site and if I order and QB Pixel xl 128gb today it would have the same shipping date of 3/10/17 go figure.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Yeah but that's for NEW orders. Same thing happened when the new order date got set at 2/17 but people with preorders have been reporting here that they're receiving them. If your ship date was 1/6 originally, wait until 1/9 to see if it's on your doorstep.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeeter35:
They have already confirmed my ship date has changed. I preordered on 11/25. I called yesterday around 4:30 and they said it was still shipping but was delayed by the weather. Then I got an email at 7:12 pm stating due to high demand my shipping date has changed to 3/10/17. They haven't even charge my card yet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
What does your MyVerizon account say about your order status? Point being, anything you received changing your date to the same date that new orders ship, that was automated, like the email, I wouldn't trust right off the bat. It's happened before.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeeter35:
Status

Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later.

Expected Ship Date

We are working hard to complete your order. Unfortunately, it will not be shipped as originally scheduled. You will receive a shipment confirmation email when your order ships, which will include a new delivery date.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Other people in this thread had 1/6 ship dates and report receiving their XL 128's early. My ship date of 1/20 has not changed at all, so I can't see this being a carrier-wide delay on pending orders. Chances are, since you received word that your shipment was processed and delayed due to weather, and also an automated email on the same day indicating a ship date being the same as new order dates, the date in the email was likely a mistake - a default date.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeeter35:
I was also told the same thing on the phone last night. I questioned the the fact of the people that have received theirs and also the future deliveries and they told me that all orders for the 128gb QB pixel xl would be pushed.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Yeah, but nowhere else have I been able to find any confirmation of that claim that the VZW rep told you about the QB 128's being delayed, and VZW reps have been notorious for saying untruthful things when they don't have any real answers. MY XL QB 128 order still shows a 1/20 ship date, no delay. If it was a system-wide push, you'd think my order would have an update on it too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] greymetal:
I got a QB Pixel XL 128 on 1/5 and it came with version 7.1 installed. I had the 7.1.1 and one (maybe two) security update pending.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Great, good to know they're still shipping with 7.1. October build I expect?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xVallex:
I ordered mind on 12/17 and website still shows 1/20 as my ship date. I think the only difference with some of you is mine is being shipped to store and not my house. I'll say this though, this whole process is a real turn off with Goggle phones. I was tempted, all be it for only a split second, to cancel my order and get an Iphone + lol. If my order gets pushed I may just cancel and keep my Note 5. It's paid off and I can do what I want when I want.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Milkman328:
I was also told yesterday that mine XL 128 QB would ship for sure. Well that date has come and gone. I have not been billed and I also received a email stating that I have a new ship date of 3/10. Rediculous!!

VS985 Verizon
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] millerman61:
Got the same email you got. I was really hoping mine was going to ship on time yesterday. I can't believe that my shipping date was pushed back to the same date someone gets told if they order today when I ordered mine on 11/26/16.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
Do they even tell you if they try to take money out your bank? I feel like that's what happened, I didn't have money in the bank until the day it was expected to ship out but nowhere did I get an email of a failed billing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
I'm sitting here laughing at the hopefuls with 1/20 order dates.

Guys, orders that were supposed to go out 1/6 show delayed until 3/3. We didn't get any notice UNTIL 1/6. Verizon isn't going to update you UNTIL 1/20, and then kick your date back to whatever the next date is at that time (3/20-something?). They aren't going to ship your phones on time when you ordered after us.

And for those saying "3/3, that's the same date as if I were to buy it right now!" ... don't worry. Those who order right now will eventually get delayed into April.

I'm keeping my order based solely on the fact that I'll get $200 each for trading in for my worthless Droid Maxx and Galaxy S4, if they survive that long. Also, I'm betting the 3/3 is an exaggerated push date and we will receive them "early" (maybe mid-Feb).

Also, this should have nothing to do with failed billing. I'm on the DPP (device payment plan) and already paid the tax when ordering. I checked with a VZW rep a week ago and confirmed payment was taken care of.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Considering that there are some people in this very thread with ship dates of 1/6 who already have their phones, and with the facts about my own order and what I was told by a VZW rep a couple weeks ago, I'm not going to run around screaming that the sky is falling just yet.

I ordered both my Pixel XL 128's with the $20/mo no-trade-in deal. $480 for a leading phone still can't be beat. If I do get pushed back to mid-March then I'll reevaluate with the S8 slated to come out in April. Until then, though, I'm still looking forward to my first pure-android phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] collindv:
I agree 100%
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
But the 1/6'ers didn't get their phones before the people that ordered in October and were delayed. I wish I was one of those lucky few that did get it before it was expected, though. I contacted VZW repeatedly, around 12/23, 12/28, 1/3, just to double check payment, see if it may arrive early, express my concern about delays, etc, and was told every time "It's guaranteed to ship on 1/6."

The reps know nothing other than what your order status says. I will not put any faith in Verizon again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] disco1224:
I ordered mine on 12/11, ship date of 1/13. Black XL 128
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Welp, I am not waiting until March. Got a Pixel 128GB tonight from Verizon. It's been a while since I owned a 5" phone but so far I'm loving it! Better than waiting until March on my opinion!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
I agree with that. But that also casts doubt on any claim that "all black XL 128's are pushed back to 3/3/17" too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
Ok first, Verizon (and all other carriers) reps don't always have all the answers. So whatever everyone was told, take it with a grain of salt. It could, and probably will, be different than what actually happens.

I was near a Verizon store today so I stopped in to check on something different and then ask about the Pixel XL's. According to that person, it is the Quiet Black models that are affected. Obviously not all as some are getting them but she mentioned that HTC is having supply issues. She said a couple of times that the only models impacted are the QB's. However, she also mentioned that she doesn't believe these will actually take that long to be shipped out. More of an arbitrary date until more phones can be manufactured. Although I'm not defending Verizon at all, this is HTC's problem and really has been since October. You can't not be prepared for this. Just no way.

Like others I have no other options (that I'm at least happy with) right now but to wait. I checked out a few different phones while in the store and when I went back to the Pixel XL, I definitely want to wait for that one. We'll see how long I still feel that way but with nothing else coming out right now until about when these orders are supposed to ship, I'm keeping my order.

One other thing I thought of, all these pushed back orders, are they from people that bought online via Verizon's website or from stores? I went to a store for mine. Also, if HTC has this huge supply problem, how much you want to bet that they are providing Google's store with phones ahead of Verizon's or anyone else? If Google has a ton of backorders and Verizon does as well, I wouldn't be surprised if Google gets fulfilled first. Nobody has confirmed that but I can definitely see that happening.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonic_44:
Ordered a Silver and a Blue 32 GB Pixel XL on 12/24. Was set for 2/17 ship date. Noticed on 1/4 that the Blue models were shipping almost immediately. Those are the ones I wanted anyway. Called up on 1/5 and had my order cancelled and re-keyed for 2 Blue 32GBs XLs and was able to keep my deal of $15 a line/a month. They shipped on 1/5 and will be here Monday 1/9. I am wondering if it's something with the 128GB vs. the 32GB. I figured the Blue models would be the most sought after anyway and be pushed farther out, unless Google just had a surplus of them made at the time when I looked. Really glad I kept checking the website!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
Ugh, I went for a black XL cause of the bezels, and thought more people ordered the very silver one so I expected black to be in better stock compared to silver, I guess I chose poorly. Also this is why I wished it was someone other than HTC building these phones, with the amount of phones they sell, they are probably not used to having to make these many phones. Also, my order was made online on 11/24 just to add on.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
I still show 1/20 ship date, ordered 128QB on12/19. Probably won't see a ship date change until my unit is supposed to ship as others have said. VZW CS won't even have a worthwhile conversation with me about it, because my date hasn't arrived yet. For once, I blame Verizon far less than other entities...Google seriously dropped the ball on forecast and the Note 7 fiasco probably drove a whole lot more buyers over to the XL, making our situation worse.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mm2531:
My credit card just got charged

Ordered a QB 32 GB Pixel XL at the Verizon Store on 12/18/16. Was given a shipping date of 1/11/17.

I assumed I would get an email that everyone is getting with a new delayed date. To my surprise, my credit card just got charged, and Verizon order page says it was shipped today. Don't see a tracking number yet though.

Perhaps the delays are only with 128 gb? Or, I just got lucky.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rumpelstiltz:
Order placed 12/24, expected ship date was 1/20... that was just removed from the pre-order status.

BUT I just got a text alert that "my order was received" today, and I'll receive a text with tracking info when shipped.

Seems kind of positive to me - out of pre-order and into order state.

UPDATE: just checked my credit card and it has been charged for the full amount of my 'Amount Due Today' from the 12/24 online order...

So now I definitely do expect to get a shipped message today.

UPDATE 2 TWO: just checked Verizon documents & receipts and see my device and edge agreements dated today.

WooHoo! :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SomeFknGuy:
My 128gb was ordered 12/3 and is still sitting in the 'processing' state and still shows an expected ship of 1/13... Hopefully it goes through...who knows though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JettMartinez:
11/22 order date, silver 128 gb XL and black 128gb regular pixel. Shipping date went from 1/4 to 1/6 to now showing nothing but processing. Online chat rep said it shows in her system as shipped, but had me call the online order department and they say it's back ordered to 3/3. They can't even get their own systems to show the same damn information. They're saying it's anything with 128Gb memory that's back ordered.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
My delayed phone is Very Silver, though, and ordered via phone. (see bottom of post)

[MENTION=7984979]rumpelstiltz[/MENTION], [MENTION=5728142]NalNalas[/MENTION]:

I think only the 128GB are affected by the long delays. It seems that 32GB are all shipping fine. :good:

I just quickly made this spreadsheet so maybe we can track exactly who is delayed/on-time better:

I ordered my Pixel XL(Very Silver or whatever) on December 20th. My expected date of arrival is on Jan 18th. My girlfriend works at a Cellular Plus store, and said that she noticed a back order from pretty much everyone trying to get one. Hopefully it comes on the 18th.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xVallex:
Nice spreadsheet and I went ahead and updated as well.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
So I contacted Verizon through Facebook and here's a logical answer. Which seems valid and the emails sent out for us that said 3/03 or 3/10 are valid too. So it may ship sooner or it may not. It's literally just HTCs manufacturing probably holding everything up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
A buddy of mine had issues with his QB 128 yesterday and talked with Verizon. They set him up for a replacement March 25th is his date for expected shipment.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jackburnt:
Shipped and getting it the 11th! There's still hope guys!

Side note: Did you all have to sign for your phone? My wife will be home, but asleep (night nurse) so I'm hoping she won't have to get up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xVallex:
Ups yes, fed ex I think you can leave a note. As I've said before in this thread, if you sign up for ups my choice you can sign for your package online and Ok ups to leave it. Not sure if it works for stuff like this but might be worth a try if your wife will be sleeping.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] collindv:
32 gb though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jackburnt:
Yep, that's what I ordered!

Thanks! I'll definitely leave a note and ask my wife to keep an ear out. Don't want to miss this package!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I leave notes pointing them to the nice retired guy next door that is happy to sign for me. You should be able to see on the tracking if sign is required.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jackburnt:
It says "Indirect Signature Required." Not sure what "indirect" means? Like, if I sign a note saying it's ok to leave it, that counts as indirect?

Either way, that's what I'm going to do. Sign a note at both entrances and call the deliverer's mother to tell her that I authorize the package
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
Yay, received a text that the phone is being shipped soon. Received a text and payment taken from Bank. It is the 128gb quite black XL. I'll let you guys know when I get a tracking number.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xVallex:
Indirect is UPS term for leaving with a neighbor.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] collindv:
Same here! Ordered 11/24, 128 gb quite black.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hokiealumnus:
Indirect means you can leave a signed, dated note to leave it on your door step. I also include the tracking number, and tape it to my door at eye height.

Edit - Evidently UPS has been getting more strict. This may work of you already have a working relationship with your UPS driver, otherwise it may not work.
