Good find. That actually matches up well with what the Verizon phone rep told me (off the record) about them expecting a huge shipment of phones before the end of the year. My ship date says 1/6/17 but he said he would expect it to ship with the 12/26/16 batch. I contacted another Verizon rep yesterday to see if they would corroborate that rumor, but she told me she had no idea.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlpotter76:
Any Verizon orders to report any movement? Hopeful wishing I know.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
Looks like their sources are from Reddit users who are probably in the same boat.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Harleydroid:
Just received a email from Verizon. Says they are working on order but ship date is 1/13/17. I'm probably going to cancel and get the S8 when it comes out. I pre-ordered this phone on 10/18 and it will no longer be a new device when I get it. What a let down google.

Tweet back to vzw support and say, if you just have google ship the google store versions to us directly it would be problem solved and say google store versions all work the same as their verizon version lol.:D

Except for the fact that Google's own store has also been sold out of the XL 128

I dont see the 128 pixel xl on the verizon site anymore.

Uncheck the blue model, and choose either silver or black it's there.

Lol, it's there, but as we all know, Verizon doesn't really have it. :rolleyes:

Im an idiot. Didnt realize that the blue was checked.

What were your order dates?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Drashnar:
mine was 10/31

It is worth noting I put my order in, in store. Not via the website. Not sure if it matters.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiffan86:
Just to update everyone, I'm happy and a little pissed at the same time, verizon charged my card for the tax on my pixel xl. So it should be shipping tomorrow, just like they said (12/09) I'm a little mad because I see all these posts of people who ordered before me (10/31) and the phone is getting pushed into jan for shipment. I'll update when I get the phone and what version it shipped with.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Kurv:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidKotzebue:
I ordered a XL 128 gb in white on 10/31/16 with a scheduled ship date of 12/09/16. The rep told me yesterday on the phone to expect it to ship on 12/09 as scheduled. Well, I woke up this morning and the ship date was changed to 1/13/17. It seems like most of the phones shipped to people in this thread are black models. Is there a major back order for the white units? Anybody receive an 128 gb white XL recently?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
You cant count on that because jcase has said we are on our own since depixel8 was patched and he wont be doing anything further on unlocking the verizon pixel / xl bootloader.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

It sounds like getting a 128gb verizon white one is a lot faster than a getting a 128gb verizon black one as I ordered my verizon black 128 xl on 11-21-16 and mine has shown delivery as 1-7-17 so I think your still going to get your white one a lot faster. I couldnt handle white so wait longer for black it is, guess it is what it is :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] B.E.McAllister:
Ordered mine 10/28, xl 128 black, original ship date was 12/3, changed to 1/14, then it shipped yesterday. Through Verizon
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Congrats, sounds like the rest of us should not be far off on ours shipping. Please let us know what security update it comes with when you get it. Hopefully yours comes with the October security update as its original software. If so just remember to pop your sim out so it does not update on you unless your not wanting to unlock your bootloader.

Same, ordered the same day at 10:30am Pacific time, still have a shipping date of 1/06/17. How do I remember what time? Well I woke up excited to order a discounted Pixel. Even more excited for the XL 128gb.

Got my tracking number at 5am est, UPS doesn't show any tracking info yet though. I haven't ordered a phone in quite some time, do they require a signature at delivery?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] STraver:
Yes I believe a signature will be required. Sometimes the tracking information on the shipper's page will list that too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I'm glad that those of us lamenting the delivery delays are starting to get our unlockable models. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that the one I ordered for my son comes earlier than the 01/06 expected ship date.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vacaloca:
Got mine this morning, removed SIM, turned off automatic updates, enabled USB debugging, ran dePixel8, bootloader unlocked without issue, came with NDE63P. Will most likely return the Google model since the Verizon model was acquired w/ the SAVE20 coupon.

Edit: For any of those that are waiting for theirs and shipped FedEx -- if you're not home or want to pick it up the morning before they make the delivery attempt at your local FedEx hub, you can place a 'Vacation Hold' via FedEx Delivery Manager at least the previous day before delivery after signing up online and verifying your identity/address. They will hold it at the FedEx hub that serves your area that way, and should be available for pickup shortly after that local hub opens.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neilrl79:
Thanks for the answer. Tracking info finally showed on UPS and it does state that signature is required.

Still no Estimated delivery date but I'm assuming Thursday since it was scanned in Memphis TN this afternoon and it's coming to Delaware. Good news/bad news on that is that I'm off on Thursday but it is being delivered to a friend's house to save the 6% sales tax I would have had to pay of I had it shipped to my house in MD.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] STraver:
Well good luck on getting one without the December update so you can DePixel first! Mine is ordered through corporate and I have just got to wait. I won't know it's coming until the IT dept. tells me it will arrive the next day. Good news is that it's coming to my office so signature is not an issue. UPS is pretty reliable lately so your Thursday date should be accurate.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] A_N_D_R_E:
Mine shipped from FedEx today. I called and confirmed that they do not require a signature, in my case at least.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mafisometal:
I've had a horrendous experience with my order.

Ordered 2 pixels, 32GB Pixel very silver, and 128GB Pixel Xl Quite Black.

So I ordered my phones as a new customer coming from AT&T. I payed the Pixel Xl in full and the regular Pixel on month to month. This was on October 20th. Was told shipment would be Nov 11th. Then about 2 days before the said ship date, I got a delay email stating it would be delays till December 3rd. After December 1st, I got another email stating another delay til January 13th.

I got a bit ticked off so I called and they told me that they would ship them on the December 9th after telling them that 5 of my friends got their pixels from Verizon and they ordered it after me, I gave them each account of my 5 friends so they would believe the story. Since apparently they've heard the story before.

So this is December 12th. Had a package ship to me and the idiots at either Verizon or FedEx put the wrong address for the shipment when it arrived in my town. Got an email from FedEx telling me the error. So I called then and was told that Verizon would have to make a request to fix the shipping address so it wouldn't be delivered back to sender. I called Verizon afterwards and was passed around like a whore from agent to agent. After about 3 hours, I finally got somewhere and a supervisor was able to call and square away the issue from everything I was told.

I woke up on December 13th to find out that FedEx ignored the request and sent the shipment back to Verizon. So I ended up calling and doing the ordeal all over again with customer support at Verizon. It got to the point that I was being passed around for about 6 hrs with not a single person understanding how it happened and how to fix it.

Finally I got a hold of a competent person and come to find out they can't give me a refund because I payed over $1000 with the transaction and there's some legal ramification i was told so i would have to wait 30 days. Then on top of that they told me the two phones have been sent to another customer since I didn't "claim" my package. FedEx wouldn't even let me pick up the package when it was sitting at their facility. Now after everything I'm told that I won't get my phone till mid February.

WTF...so much for switching to Verizon. I contacted FCC and better business bureau and reported them for failure to deliver a product I payed for. About 6 hours later I get a call from Verizon and they had me passed to some specialty agent and was given the run around for 2 more hours. At the end, nothing got done.

I'm still waiting here with my **** in my hand. What kind of bull**** is this. I know Verizon has bad customer service but no way can it be this bad.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xVallex:
Ordered my silver XL 128 gb a couple days ago. I was told It will ship 1/20 but chances are it could come sooner. I'm in no real hurry and the deal was just too good to pass up. Getting $400 for trading in my Note 5 which equals $16 a month off my bill. Basically getting the phone for $20 a month. My only issue i guess is I have no idea when it ships. It's being shipped to the store and my Verizon account doesn't even show a Pixel being ordered. I'll ask when I go by there today but I'm guessing It's because It's on back order?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MeetFace:
Not sure if you were aware. I'd consider cancelling that order.

A new deal went live today. $20/mo for the 128GB XL with NO trade-in. I just signed up for it 30 minutes ago. Est Ship date 1/20 as well. Only caveat is you must sign a 24-month contract, which isn't a deal for me...I'm never leaving big Red where I live.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiveighteen:
Thanks for the heads up. I ordered two 128GB Pixel XLs with the BOGO50% deal and getting $200 each for trading in a Droid Maxx and Samsung Galaxy S4. Quick math says that leaves me at about $18.82/mo after trade in and averaging out the BOGO50% over both devices. Tempting to pay the extra $28 ($1.82 * 24 mo) to keep our current phones as backups.

I'd only think about it if they could adjust the price and not have to cancel my order though. Keeping backup phones is not worth smaller chances of being able to unlock the bootloader. (Current expected ship date is 1/6/17)

This happened to me when my order actually began processing. I ordered on 10/27 with an expected ship 12/02. On 12/02, I got an email stating my ordered was delayed until 1/13/17. 6 days later on 12/08, I got an email from my CC company that my card was charged by VZW, and about an hour after that, my phone shipped. Hopefully this is what happened for you.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidKotzebue:
Did you order a 128 gb version? Silver or black? My original ship date was 12/09 and changed to 1/13/17 on 12/10.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiffan86:
Yes mine was a 128GB Black
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
I did the same thing. I ordered my Pixel XL 128gb on 11/25/16 and my wife's on 11/26/16, both with a $100 discount Black Friday upgrade deal, and got expected ship dates of 1/06/17 on both. Yesterday I saw that the Pixel XL 128gb was listed on VZW for $20/month, so I called in today and they had to cancel both previous orders and make new orders. Now my expected ship date is 1/20/17 on both phones, but I'm saving a lot more cash for the two-week extra wait.

Now if the Google Store ever gets the XL 128 back in stock, I'll likely cancel my VZW order and get mine directly from big G. (Wife's will still come from VZW unless GS has a decent discount to match up with Verizon's deal).

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Add: I didn't see anything about a 24-month contract and was never told anything about that either, though. I know they're both on a 24-month device payment plan but usually you can pay those off early if you want (though, with 0% financing I don't know why you'd want to do that).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
I think if you cancel service they charge you the full retail price so you have to keep service for 2 years to keep the discount. I got mine buy one get one 50% off with over a $400 discount on the 2nd verizon pixel xl 128 gb. Pretty sure mine is not that way. I think they figured out people were getting deals then canceling service and going to another carrier lol, gee why would anyone ever do that lol, answer is because verizon sucks and is one of the worst companies to ever deal with and yes others are cheaper, also they lock our bootloaders where at&t, sprint and tmobile all allow bootloader unlocking.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Yeah, but I live in the sticks where the only reliable coverage comes from VZW. If I had options, I'd exercise them. But honestly, other than the bloat on the phones and the crap they do to lock them down, I haven't had any complaints with the actual cell service from them. The CSR's on the phone have also done a pretty good job for me too. Wait times during the holidays can be huge, but I expect that to happen anywhere. Years ago I worked at RadioShack while in college and used to sell both VZW and Sprint. I had way more complaints about Sprint than VZW during that time.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
I"am in the same boat lol. But eventually I will ditch them and take my 128 pixel xl's to their mvno total wireless where I will be paying $25 a month for unl talk and text and I can buy 3gb's of verizon Lte data for $10 anytime I want which 3 gb's lasts me 2 months. Or you can get Unl talk and text and 5gb's of verizon Lte data all for $35 a month. The extra or data you buy like I do is roll over so it never expires as long as you keep your service active.

Yes the verizon Lte data is throttled to 5 mbps up and 2 down but that never affects me. Also they have a 5% discount if you use auto pay, and they have very cheap family plans like 4 lines all unl with 15 gb's of Lte data all for $100 or 2 for $60 with I think 8 gb's of Lte data.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LaosPerson:
Should I demand that I pay for the $20 a month for the xl 128gb without losing my place or stick with paying $25 a month from the black friday "sale"? I really would not have mind paying $25 a month if I got the device the same day or next week I ordered it on 11/24/16 but since it is not even here yet, it makes me want to demand that I pay only $20 a month and I do not lose my place of getting it by 1/06/17. Getting it at 1/20/17 would kill me because I'm already anxious waiting for it, even longer is death for me. I can probably wait for it but I am also already ready for that "ultra smooth google experience" compared to my S6 edge +.
