Same here...

Initially had the 1/20 date, then pushed to 2/17 online, and an email with 2/14. Called VZW yesterday and complained, and told them to give me a reason not to cancel and stay with them. The rep promised me that VZW is aware of the situation, and will NOT be pushing any more dates (essentially, the date you all currently have is the date you will get your phone). He confirmed my date is 2/17 . He also noted that I had called about this before, and told me to call in when I get my phone to have an "inconvenience credit" applied to my account.

Let's see how true all of this is...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Do you all ever get the return call from a California number with a customer service survey following a *611 call? They never ask for personal information, just things like "We show you had a customer service experience on x date at x time, how was your recent experience dealing with the person you spoke with? Would you be willing to deal with that representative again?" type of stuff.

It's interesting to note that one phone rep said that the chat reps don't have the same capabilities. I'm usually an online guy, but I just started calling VZW about phones on black Friday while my wife was shopping, and have just found it easy enough to dial *611 since then. You usually get a hold time but once you get someone on the phone you get answers so much faster than poking through the website, IMO.

By the way, I also got the online notification of 2/17 but a day later got the email of 2/14. I don't know what a big difference three days makes on their estimated ship date.

NFC SIM??

Got my 128GB Black XL today, ordered over Thxgiving! Still NDE63P!

The really weird thing to me was that the "upgrade instructions" which I'll paraphrase as "Call Verizon customer care from a landline to transfer service to your new phone"? Did anyone do this?

That sounds really dumb, if just moving the SIM card will work. Then I noticed on the packing slip the SIM card (SKU EMBD4GNFC-N; "4G 4FF NFC PRE INST") which I decode to mean:

4G = supports LTE

4FF = nano SIM

NFC = what? Does this SIM have near-field communication chip? I thought they stopped that as soon as Google bought and shut down SoftCard/ISIS mobile wallet.

PRE INST = SIM installed at factory

Obviously NFC is built-into the phone, so I doubt I need any special features of this SIM, but can anyone confirm if this SIM is somehow different than what came with previous Verizon phones?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Unlock it first. Then use your old SIM. The new SIM is for peeps that still have the old big ones.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DA6030:
Nevermind. I just checked the original invoice that came with my Nexus 6 two years ago, and see it is the same SKU and item description. So, SIM-swapping I will go!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I put my 6 SIM in mine. You are good.

My Verizon now says 2/17/17

From 1/20/17 to 2/14/17 now to 2/17/17

Updated the spreadsheet
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bfern002:
Just got an email saying my ship date changed from 2/17 to 2/06... anyone else?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
I got one just now saying ship date of 2/13 but only on one of my phones (I ordered 1 QB and 1 VS). I can't tell which yet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
Just notified via email, changed from 2/14 to 2/13, after being changed a couple of days ago from 1/6, lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Looks like it referenced my QB preorder number but myvzw online still says 2/17.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hokiealumnus:
My VS 128G just updated to 2/17 ship date. Updated spreadsheet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Just got updated email. It was 2/17 then 2/14 and now it says 2/06.

We need another column in that spreadsheet lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SomeFknGuy:
Well I'm waiting with baited breath, but I received an email this afternoon with tracking information showing it as picked up by FedEX in Memphis, expected to deliver 1/25. This is a QB 128XL original order date of 12-3 if that's of any interest. I'll update the spreadsheet as I know more
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
Received my VS 128GB XL from 11/23! Shipped with NDE63P. I'm finally graduating from this thread, haha. Good luck to everyone else. :)

Update on mine

my full date history is

ordered 12/15/16

1)ship date 1/20/17

2)www said 3/10/17

3)www said 2/17/17

4)Verizon email saying 2/14/17

5)Then the rep on the phone said 2/17/17

6) email saying 2/6/17
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
Of course! I'll let it live as long as Verizon is behind in shipping and people keep putting information in. It doesn't take up too much space. ;)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djRamage:
1/20 ship date originally, www updated to 2/17, email updated to 2/14, just got another email this morning updating to 2/6...

Log on www and I see someone else's order, an IPHONE, as shipped in my order history! I promise I did not buy this iphone...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madsquabbles:
mine went form 1/20, to 2/17, 2/06 and back to 2/17 ... basically no effin' clue.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whitak3r:
I ordered on the 21st(I think, sometime around that) and was originally told ship date would be 1/18/17. Well that just changed to 2/15/17.... Grr..By the time I get mine it's going to come loaded with 7.1.1! :crying:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madsquabbles:
I'll just return mine if that's the case, but I doubt they'd have changed the ones coming out in a few weeks. My nexus 6 still works perfectly fine and if wasn't for the 50% off sale I wouldn't have bought the pixel xl.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Brokestat:
Another email just now. 1/20, 2/14, 2/17 now 2/15

VS 128 XL
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whitak3r:
That was my thought as well. I did the Verizon deal thing where if you trade in your s6 Edge + you get the PIxel XL for free. So I'm kind of screwed and stuck with whatever I got at this point. The whole damn reason I wanted this phone so much is because of the root capability on Verizon. Like I said though, I'm pretty much stuck unless I sell it and do something else.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
Update: Ordered 12/09 VS XL 128...... Ship date was 1/13 then 3/10 then 3/03....then new email said ship date was 2/17....then 2/14....just got another email with new ship date of 2/10. These guys have no clue....at least the dates are getting shorter and not longer....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] disco1224:
I cancelled my order a week or so ago, basically when they (vzw) lied and said it's shipping then to get a update saying not till 3/3 or whatever....

At any rate, like I said I had cancelled but it's still showing "processing"... Like they haven't done anything with it yet..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Voxilli:
Verizon are now and have always been useless. My order was placed on 12/16 when they launched that trade-in promo. I was going to trade my S7 Edge in because I just wanted a stock Android experience. So on 1/20 I pretty much already knew it would be delayed, but I waited nonetheless. Some people said they got the email at 7 PM with the shipping information but I got nothing. I called and I was told that yes, my phone was being shipped but they were not sure why there was no delivery information yet. I knew, apparently they are just told to divert and play dumb. So then I opened a live chat and I was assured that my shipment was sent. Nope. Checked my bank account... no money taken out from them, nothing. Then it was not until two days later that I receive an email stating my new shipping date is 2/17. Hours after that I received another email stating it would be shipped on 2/6 but my Verizon account online still shows 2/17. The ineptitude is incredible with this awful company.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Pretty much the same story here. Email was late 23rd I think. Then they changed ship date. Ordered 12/16 told 1/20 then 2/17 then 2/14 then 2/06. I'm just holding out because I don't like this iPhone 7+

MyVerizon still shows 2/17 though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
The email updates never line up with the online MyVerizon date showing. I'm counting on 2/17 regardless of what the emails say (2/14, 2/15 for QB and VS respectively)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
So right....Email updates say shipping 2/10 my Verizon has nothing....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SomeFknGuy:
My QB 128XL arrived today. Original order date of 12-3. Will update the spreadsheet. Still running the NDE63P build
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MeetFace:
When you come to the realization that all cell phone companies have the same exact problems, you'll realize it's not worth your frustration to get in a hizzy over it...unless you can get some bill credits out of it =] Where I live, there's no greater choice than Verizon, because their coverage is far superior, so it's an easy choice.

When I was in college several years ago, I worked for the purchasing department and we were in charge of the relations with the cell phone companies for all of the professor/staff phones...they're all the same with a different name. IMO, the only reason you love your current company is because you hated your prior company and the current one hasn't pissed you off yet =]

So take it in stride. Verizon has no idea when they can ship these, because they have no idea when they are going to receive them from Google. Congratulations, you are a savvy customer and just so happened to hop onto a phone that was incredibly more popular than Google & HTC anticipated. That's the long and short of all of this. Demand was much higher than anticipated, and supply is simply lagging behind.

My $.02
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Ting was good. Only thing I didn't like about them was they used Sprint network and at the time they did not offer phone financing. In my travels Verizon just has better coverage but a much much higher bill.

Talked with Verizon last night. Mostly about my $304 bill for 4 lines that I am not happy about. Didn't really do much for me though. They did give me $20 for the delay on the Pixel. Better than nothing.

The individual did confirm 2/06 ship date even though the website still shows 2/17.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Brokestat:
The ship date has been off of My Verizon page for 2 days now. When I try and go and check it through the email link they've sent me it says no records have been found? Strange...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rfranken:
On my 7th date now. Just got a text from Verizon saying they got the order and will text me a tracking number when it ships. Website went back to 1/20/17. So,,, lol I guess.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bfern002:
My card just got charged... Most recent date given was 2/06. Website has no date and says order is processing. Hopefully I get it this week.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Milkman328:
If it helps I got mine three days after my card was charged. And I was told 3/10 ship date

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidForLife33:
I'm hope I see a email also ordered mine on 12/17.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Ordered my 2 on 12/17 too. No word yet, myvzw still says 2/17.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I too ordered on 10/19 with an expected ship date of 11/18. After two phone calls yesterday and being told each time that it was delayed until 12/02, I just checked my account, and it now says 12/26. I'll be calling to cancel my order once customer service is open.

Edit - Called and *****ed, told them they were in danger of losing a 20 year customer. Now, supposedly, it's shipping next Friday 11/25. We'll see.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] booked:
My ship date is also pushed back to 12/26. Just spoke with a local store and they dont have 128gb XL's in stock either. This is just bad all around. They did have the normal pixel 128 in stock though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
If you now order a Verizon pixel

Xl 128gb it says ship by 1/06/17
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] WilliamStern:
Ok, so I just got off the phone with Verizon. I basically *****ed them out for switching my ship date from 11/18 to 12/26. I told them that, that is not acceptable! After some further checking on their end, I was told that my phone would ship, or be delivered by the 25, next Friday. It freaking better! No way in hell am I waiting till the 26 of next month. They said phones with a ship date of the 18th have been moved up to the 26th. We'll see what happens...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Same as me, as you probably saw. If they don't get it out to me next Friday, and I am told that it will actually be 12/26, I'm going to cancel my order, and I'll wait until March or April, and buy a Google one off Swappa.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackDN06:
Just checked the Verizon website and my expected ship date still shows 12/02 with an order date of 10/22. I'll probably get the ax dropped on me later like everyone else.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jmgib:
I'm another whose phone was due to ship 11/18 and now shows 12/26. I just spoke with an online chat rep and was also told that it would definitely be shipping next Friday on 11/25. We'll see I guess.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kidbudi:
I am my wits end with this s***. So much mixed information and absolutely no help from Verizon wtf is going on, I really don't understand how they could be this backed up this is ridiculously crazy.

I was considering just switching to the 32gb but it only has 23gb of storage. I'm about to just cancel everything altogether wtf
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Yeah, Verizon and Google really messed up this launch, imo. They've been promoting the heck out of the phone, and they don't have anywhere near the supply to meet the demand. Current shipping date on VZW for 128gb is into January. At that point I'm sure some would be buyers will consider waiting for next generation phones.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] WilliamStern:
I'm gonna blame Google more so over Verizon on this one. I mean, I can't expect Verizon to have them in stock when Google can't even keep them in stock. I could be wrong here, but don't the larger phones sell better than the smaller ones? If not, I would really like to see the numbers as to how many of the smaller devices are sold for every larger one. That would be interesting...

At the end of the day though, I think Google should have never made a 32gb version. That was their biggest fail. They should have started with a 64gb and the 128. I ordered the 128gb, but would have gone with a 64gb with no problems. A 32gb version is pointless nowadays, is it not?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
32gb or no 32gb, I think you hit the nail on the head. No 64gb is a glaring omission.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbop98:
I have an XL 128GB Black ordered. I am one of the people who also had an order scheduled for 11/18 changed to 12/26. My original order date was 10/21. The rep today told me at first they were looking at shipping on 11/25 like others on this thread have posted. After responding to him on how three other reps told me my order was going to ship on time, the rep today dug further and said that the reason for the delay is that Verizon has not been receiving stock of the phones from Google. He further told me that it does not seem like my shipment will come any time before December. To confirm, I asked him if that means Verizon currently has no idea when they can fulfil orders and got a yes for an answer. So it seems hopes are not high on getting this phone anytime soon.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
I got the black 32 from best buy
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] booked:
does That mean it Shipped Out 0n 11/17?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bicknasty:
I very, very strongly doubt that. The shipping megathread on r/GooglePixel has people saying Verizon told them on 11/18 that their expected ship dates were pushed back into December. My expected ship date is 12/9, and my shipping status shows the same grey progress bar leading up to shipped 11/17. I know Google has had some absurdity, but I can't conceive Verizon would ship out phones to people with later ship dates (such as me), and delay people with earlier ship dates.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] booked:
Now the expected ship date is gone from the my orders page and its back to preorder status from processing. wtf. no idea what's going on now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbop98:
What was your order date? I just checked mine and it still says processing for 12/26.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] booked:
Order date is 10/20. The verizon app shows the status is preorder. The website still shows processing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbop98:
Odd. My order date is 10/21 and when I checked through the Verizon app, it would not let me even load the details of the order but the website loads fine. Pretty fishy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] booked:
Apparently the website and app show different status's.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Ordered 12/16 and I now have a tracking number. My Verizon now says 1/28 ship date.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] disco1224:
Since there is a release date of April 21 for the S8 announced. There's a good chance I'll have it before some of you. ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
My friends jab at me with statements like that too. But if you get an S8, you also get Knox. So, there's that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Exactly, I don't care what it has for specs. A locked down Touchjizz phone is the last thing I want. No unlock, no root, no ROMs? No thanks.

I hear ya and I thought the same thing for years then I realized I had a rooted phone and my own custom rom installed for a few years and I didn't even do anything with it to utilize it so I've come to the conclusion it's not for me anymore.

I don't need a rooted phone for as long as I keep them so who cares.... But we will see.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Voxilli:
Ordered on 12/16 (Quite Black Pixel XL 128GB) and will finally be receiving it on Tuesday. I am so hoping it has 7.1 so I can unlock the bootloader. I do not prefer the use of ROMs as I like to customize myself. I am giving my rooted S7 Edge to my father when I get my phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Fedex is just stupid. My Pixel should be delivered tomorrow. No idea why the delay when tracking shows it's at dispatch center. So I called to have them hold it. No local number so have to call a 800 number. I talk to them and before they will put an item on hold they have to attempt to deliver it once? Why? I know I won't be home because they always deliver early to my house. They will have to attempt delivery tomorrow and leave me a note. Then I have to wait for the truck to get back to the dispatch center. So it will probably be Wednesday before I can get it. UPS I could call and have them hold it...just like when I ordered my other phones. Anyone know why they have this policy?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
I recently had FedEx attempt a delivery and I was not home. They left a door sticker and said I could pick up the package at their distribution center. The FedEx truck was back at the DC by 3:00pm and they close at 8:00pm so I got the package the exact same day. I didn't leave any instructions for the driver, I just grabbed the door sticker and drove to their location. Hopefully the same happens for you but I think that's fairly common.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rfranken:
Yeah, fedex can be a real pain depending on your location. For me if I miss a drop off I have to drive an hour and a half to the distribution center and the trucks don't get in until after 6pm.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
So I just got a nowinstock.com alert on the QB 128XL. I put it in my shopping cart (first time I've even been able to do that) and it shows "Ships in 5-6 weeks". So even Google's own "in-stock" status is 5-6 weeks out.

At $869 for that phone with a 5-6 week ship time, or $240 + free accessories & data (after promos, line credits, etc.) for my Verizon XL that could ship any day now, I can't justify the Google Store version unless, for some reason, my phone doesn't ship with NDE63P.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mademan420:
Same here...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b4u2:
Try to make a long story short. Still pissed at Fedex csr for not doing what I asked. Went to Fedex depot and it's a container depot. My small package is in a huge container that doesn't get emptied until day of delivery. The customer agent there tried to look but she said the container was packed full. She did set it up to go to a local Fedex store tomorrow so I wouldn't have to drive out there again. If the csr had just transferred my call like I asked I wouldn't have wasted my time driving out there.
