One desperate hope I'm clinging to is that perhaps with all the reports of screen issues, the later-shipping panda handsets might have some better QC done on their screens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Cybertronicz:
Chatted with support. My ship date was yesterday. They said, "your order is on hold, because of high demand for the product" - "we have no ETA at this time"

Why cant Google get their act together with fulfillment and shipping, its been this way every year since Nexus 4!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I feel like they severely underestimated the demand for the "Black and White" version, the black Pixel 2 Xl's have been shipping fairly on time (been following that thread too). I guess it's better my ship date is Nov 8th since I probably wouldn't get it until then anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flexia32:
So non have shipped yet and they saying it's high demand so orders went on hold? Sounds more like the initial supply isn't available when thought it would be.

I believe we are just hitting the initial ship dates for the Panda's?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
Many of us are having a shipping date of yesterday and not a single Panda has shipped yet... Looks like there's a problem with the Panda Pixel :-/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flexia32:
Yes but it seems that non have shipped so far. The post I quoted he said his ship date was yesterday and there is no activity on his order.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Ah, I just went and checked my ship date through verizon and it says "Around November 8th" haha if I got into the details it says expected ship date of November 8th, but who knows at this point. Oh well, I wonder if they miss the date by enough time we'll see some form of compensation. I doubt it but working in the IT service industry for awhile now, if enough people complain things tend to happen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
At this point, I firmly believe there was a staggered release for the Panda (this was alluded to in many press reports). I just went to google store and you can order a Black 128GB 2 XL and it ships TOMORROW!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
If only I could swing this and still get my google home mini and the discount on the trade in of my S7....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
Did you explain that is why you were one of the very first to pre-order, so you could circumvent any demand issues? How can demand affect the first of the pre-orders? Did they already ship the 4 that was ordered before yours, and awaiting a new supply? I agree with the earlier post. They must not have them available to ship. Hopefully, it will be perfect, when you do get it. Thanks for the update...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigtone224:
With all the display problems I'm wondering if I should just give up and cancel my 128gb panda order
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
This is ridiculous! Just say that we expected them to be delivered and ready to ship by now but this color is having delays in manufacturing. I would bet money that is what happened. That's not the end of the world, just own up to it!!!

All the problems with the 2XL, I would bet that the rumors about a staggered launch were right. What I mean is LG wasn't ready, but HTC was. At the last minute LG rushed enough out to justify not staggering the launch, hence bad screens and general quality control issues. I think the rush was to try to get to the market before the iPhone X. Ask yourself this, has there ever been a Nexus/Pixel phone that didn't come out with the newest and exclusive version of Android? Hell, there is a chip in the damn thing that isn't even enabled because they couldn't get the software ready. They should have just released the phones in the middle of November! Also just read that a Pixel 2 was shipped that didn't pass quality control accidentally. Heck, maybe even HTC wasn't ready. When it's all said and done, I think we all would rather wait another 30 days to have a phone that was well made and would have excellent resale value, then one that was rushed out!

The mystery package turned out to be a MNML case for my Panda :|

Still no movement on my actual Panda order which was supposed to be shipped yesterday and delivered today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
Was thinking about getting a MNML case as well but expected it to weight less than 1.54 lbs...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anuraj1:
Good point. I have no idea why an ultra thin case would weight that much haha
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
free pixel 2 included...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rutscher:
I believe they are shipping this afternoon. I checked my Fedex Manager and it says there is a package coming from the normal google shipping center in Carol Stream.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
What was your expected ship date?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rutscher:
Expected ship date was the 23rd with arrival on the 24th - 25th. Expedited shipping.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] subin666:
Had a chat with the customer rep regarding my shipment. They told me that the phone had not left the warehouse yet. My shipping date was 23rd (yesterday)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] init_dot_t:
what is your delivery date window?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] charesa39:
Looks like I'm in the same boat as some here. Expected ship date was yesterday (10/23). Delivery window was today-tomorrow (10/24-10/25). Ordered a 128 GB Panda right when it became available. Not looking very promising... It needs to get here so I can finally get rid of my 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] subin666:
Oct 24-25

I don't think I will be getting the panda by tomorrow :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] champlification:
Expected ship date of 10/23 with delivery on 27-28th. I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet, either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnowak1228:
Has anyone received their Panda yet?? I ordered through VZW and I have a delivery date of Nov 1st. Spoke with the rep yesterday and she said I will have it by the 1st. ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JewRican:
Im also through verizon. im not holding by breath. Also wondering if we keep seeing phones ship with all the issues (blown out of proportion or not)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
it looks like there is a manufacturing issue with the white coating. therefore all white and panda pixels are delayed by a couple of weeks. not a single Panda has shipped yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Where does that come from that there's a manufacturing issue? Did Google announce that or a news site or something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
Think there's no official announcement about the panda yet but they did release a statement about the white pixel: https://www.theverge.com/platform/a...ogle-pixel-2-white-64gb-delays-free-live-case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
That's not regarding the black and white 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
Black&White = Panda
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Does the total number of pandas shipped still equal 0?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
if you don't count review and testing units: yes
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Why would it only be the 64 GB model, per the article, that's delayed if it's a manufacturing issue with the white part?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
My November date is not looking good. That's what I was afraid of. Hopefully they either get it worked out or compensate.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Black, White, Orange power button = Penguin :p

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

I don't think so. I've been following over on Reddit and some have ships dates 10/23-10/24. No movement or tracking info, google still says delivery window will be met. Either there is a delay in Penguin orders or staggered release.

My shipping date is Oct 23 but not shipped and don't expect any change for a couple of weeks.

Mine is supposed to be here today. Absolutely nothing has changed on my status.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
Wtf. They've got a container full of Pandas and are starting to ship today. Just hoping that the manufacturing issues they have aren't too bad.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Most Oct 23 orders should be blocked (address change and cancellation button gone)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Where are you getting information that they are shipping?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] movieman999:
Just got a charge on my credit card for my 128G Panda. Ordered Oct 4, was supposed to ship the 23rd but didn't. Estimated delivery is 25th - 26th. There is still hope!

Also confirmed what StarEye said and can no longer change my address or cancel my order. itshappening.gif?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
It's all about knowing the right people ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Ask those people if the November orders are going to ship early.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
I can still cancel and edit mine. October 23 ship date.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
They don't know everything... Yesterday it looked like all Pandas are delayed because of a manufacturing issue. Today they've got a shipment. So it's just a part of the Pandas with issues (or they're shipping devices with coating issues...)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kgeissler:
I can still cancel mine.. Ordered my 64gb panda on Oct 4 at 10:19am PST. Was supposed to ship on the 23rd with delivery on the 26th-27th. Nothing happening on my order.

Phone ordered : Oct 04

Phone Ships : Oct 23

Delivery Date: Oct 24-25

So I noticed something weird today. Until a few days ago, I could see a pending transaction on my bank account for the phone. I checked my account today to see if I was charged yet for my phone, and I noticed that the pending transaction for my phone is no longer there. I checked and can verify that I was not charged for the phone either.

The order page on the store still shows that my phone is ordered and has not been canceled. In fact, I just raised my issue(phone status unchanged) with a Google rep yesterday and they filed a case for the same.

Is anyone else having the same issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Fingers crossed for you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] land2634:
That's normal. Google puts an authorization hold on the card, and then actually charges when they ship. Since the date between the authorization and actual shipping date are so far apart, you simply noticed the authorization hold dropping off as it normally would.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] subin666:
Thank you for the reply.

I assumed that they might have canceled my order. I was frantically searching through my email to check if they had in fact sent out a cancellation mail.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
Just checked the Google Store, and the unlocked 128 GB Panda was available, with a 5-6 week delivery. Still sooner than some of the late December pre-orders I've seen. Why can't we just have ours first????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anuraj1:
Just got off a Google support call. The rep escalated to a specialist that told her that there are delays on Panda shipments. They offered to refund the expedited shipping fee for customers that contact them.

In my rush to order as quickly as possible on release day, I accidentally chose standard shipping so they didn't do anything for me. Ship date was supposed to be 10/23 and delivery was supposed to be yesterday or today. They told me it will not arrive today.

EDIT: I can still cancel the order and change my address. No CC charge yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Not that it helps any, but I called Verizon today and mentioned lots of missed shipping dates with the Panda (B/W) 2 XL and they told me my order is still on track and will be shipped on time (Nov 8th so it's 2 weeks away still). I was getting nervous it would get bumped. If you go and order through Verizon, at the moment, the ship date is still November 8th (For the b/w Pixel 2 XL)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StarEye:
My Panda (original shipping date was Oct 23) has shipped. They upgraded the shipping from ground to 2day.

Wow.. happy for you. You are the first person I see reporting a panda shipped so far.

I ordered my 64gb panda on October 4th and got November 27th for shipping. I hope by the time I get mine they have figured out the issues with the screen and I get a good device.

I also called Verizon today out of concern and asked to be transferred to the escalation/cancelation Dept. My delivery date for VZW for my 64Gb Panda is still November 1st. They told me they are not aware of any delays and I am still on track even if they have to overnight the phone I will have it November 1st!! We shall see.......?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kgeissler:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
I got the same email while I sit and wait patiently for my two 64 GB Pandas...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anuraj1:
I'm gonna be honest, this is driving me nuts. My order still says Oct 23 shipping and Oct 24/25 delivery. It would actually make me feel better if they changed the dates on my order so that I'd at least know they are aware.

Google support is no help, even an escalation resulted in the same scripted response. "Your shipment might have been affected by a delay, but don't worry, you'll receive an email as soon as it ships!"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I hate to say this but you have to tell them that is an unacceptable answer and ask to be escalating again or you would like an explanation. I'm not saying be a jerk about it but be a little pushy, at this point they are just expecting people to accept their BS because "Google" and it's not right. I would push a little more and indicating you paid XXX for a phone and expect at least the shipment dates to be updated correctly when there is a problem.

I really can't stand bad customer service, it irks me to no extent especially the lack of honesty. I can't do anything since my b/w ship date is in November but this is making me angry for people haha

If a phone gets cancelled, it gets relisted. That's the reason for that...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
My question is if any Panda's are actually on a truck and on the way or the ones that have "shipped" maybe just have a lable created but not actually left. I hate to be a pessimist, but I wonder if the few that have shipped just had labels created mistakenly????
