Wow I hope I get mine charge soon because I ordered before you

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

I've been charged and I can no longer change my shipping information yippee update when it ships
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
I hope so for you as well. There are multiple others on the /r/GooglePixel shipping thread with an 11/20 date that are reporting their charges showing up too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
So how quickly has it been shipping after the charge shows up?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathrowy2k:
Charged for my 128gb penguin (panda) ordered on the 4th at about 11am. Ships 20th, delivery 22-27. Can't cancel or change address. Hope I get it before Thanksgiving so I can try out the camera.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MariuxReloaded:
Finally arrived today and it's wonderful! :D:D:D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
3rd one is the charm.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Is there a fee for the RMA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
The phone is awesome hope all of you enjoy when it finally comes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
They do a temp charge for 1008$ once they get my old device. They remove charge. Otherwise. Free. Just have 1008$ tied up for about a week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Same as the OG pixel. I was hoping that would change but I guess not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
64GB Penguin ordered on 10/4 at 1140PDT. Ship date 11/20. Got charged yesterday, cannot cancel or edit order. Looks like 11/20 ship dates are getting charged now. Someone on Reddit said once the charge happens, it ships that day or the next. Hope so.

Edit: shipped
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madefl:
For those in Germany:

Ordered 64GB Panda Oct. 5 from Google Play Store Germany

Got estimated Shipping date of Dec 27 2017.

Shipped Nov. 13 - arrived yesterday Nov. 15. (Stuttgart, Germany)

That was totally unexpectedly fast.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:
Do you think the early shipping of the 20th orders have to do with the new One Plus 5T Event?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
They didn't ship yet we have just been charged
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:
I can't cancel or edit my order anymore

XL Panda 128gb just shipped:)

Ordered Oct 4 around 11am. Just got the email.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kiddiosky:
Supposely Nov.20th ship date here...

Just received an emai that my Panda been shipped...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
ETA on delivery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Theused1:
Will be delivered Monday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:
Maybe that's why we did not receive the email yet, mine is 64gb too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
OMG I need mine before Wednesday I hope I get a similar email today
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Theused1:
I feel you. My device is shipping from only 375 miles away and have to wait till Monday. Didn't get the expedite shipping though, my fault I guess.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nochis:
[MENTION=4163755]Blue85[/MENTION]03 I saw you got charged yesterday, I got charged yesterday also. I just received shipped email. You probably get yours soon. Mine says estimated on Wednesday. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Got the email that mine shipped too, still expected delivery on Monday. It says a direct signature is required but I didn't think Fedex was requiring it for orders from the Google Store?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Theused1:
My shipment is also with FedEx, but it doesn't say signature required. Very odd.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Mine says it under 'Shipment Facts'
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Finally mine is shipping... Should be here Monday.

128GB or 64GB Panda?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
128GB Panda, I'm pretty stoked!

Since wiping my OG XL and reinstalling 8.1 beta, it's been chewing through battery a bit more than usual.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Theused1:
Just checked mine and no signature required.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:
Google forgot about us
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
Yep sounds like 64GB gets the back burner for a little longer
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathrowy2k:
128gb shipping today also! Original shipping date was the 20th with delivery 22-27 now says 20-21 delivery!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:

Got estimated shipping date of 22 Nov

Still waiting. No charge yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
No idea, but when I got the alert from FedEx it said signature required too. Maybe it's because I have two coming or something.

Panda XL 128GB

Ordered on 3rd November

Dispatched on 14th November

Delivered on 15th November
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emmanuelkeyz:
HOW?!?! Where did you order from? Mine is being delayed till 25th apparently and I ordered Oct 6th :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Was from e2save (part of CarphoneWarehouse)

£310 upfront and then £32 a month. Maybe as on contract they pushed out sooner? Unsure on that one, just need to sell the OP5 now :victory:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emmanuelkeyz:
Thats a madness!! They actually have the 64gb Panda in stock as well and CPW dont have it :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Yeah I will never really understand how that company works tbh. Same as they were still offering the free Home Mine on the CPW page but not on the e2save site. Fortunately I wasn't too worried about that as already have an Echo and Dot in my home system.

Hopefully you will get yours soon enough. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emmanuelkeyz:
Its even cheaper on e2save....just ordered mine now. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Do you know what your build date is? Do you have major screen issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Ah nice one at least something good may have come from it then! :)

No touch screen issues, but there is some blue shift not as bad as a friends, but I'm not too bothered by it.

Build date 31/10/2017

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashen Victor:
For those of you that just had their phones shipped the other day, BOLO. Got my panda in today, with a delivery date set for this coming Monday. So I ended up with early shipping, early delivery.

My original shipping date was Monday with expected delivery 22-27.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
This is GREAT news! I have the same delivery time and it's out for delivery today!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Mines set for 22-27 and is in Pittsburgh where I live. They didn't deliver early for me today :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogollack:
Got mine today, ordered on 10/4.

For what it's worth, anyone not entirely pleased by the blue tint of the screen sound try f.lux, an Android port of the popular PC program. It's essentially a blue light filter, designed to roughly track the movement of the sun (but you can modify it any way you'd like), increasing the level of blue light filtration as the day progresses.

I discovered this by accident, as i already used the app on the 6P that I had before the Panda, and wanted it anyway.

If you install flux and ENABLE the "AMOLED Calibration" option, it does a *great deal*, in my opinion, to improve both the issues relating to the tone of whites on the screen and also the blue tinting when viewed at angles. I can't recommend it more highly! However I should mention that root access is required for flux to function.

Edit: I've also been seeing in comments on various forums that these screens are pretty varied in their characteristics, so regarding the above, YMMV. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MNX1024:
Looks like my card just got an Authorization, not charge yet, but can't cancel anymore. Not sure what's my chance of getting it before Thanksgiving. XD
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flexia32:
When was your original ship date? I'm the 27ths and hopping it will go out soon
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MNX1024:
Mine's the 27th also. Won't be surprised if it gets shipped out then, as Thanks Giving is around the corner. Honestly, I'm not really in a rush due to not even having any of my accessories yet. Been procrastinating for quite a while on ordering. Just straight up lazy on my end. I shall wish both of us luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Cant cancel order any more and have pending charge order late 10/4 with ship date nov 27 so looks like getting it early its the 128 model. How long did it take to ship after pending charge?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BMP1244:
Same here. Hoping it's the same for us! If not, no biggie tho.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathrowy2k:
Just got mine, Fantastic phone so far!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jludt:
Same here - Nov 27 ship date but I noticed I could no longer cancel order as of yesterday afternoon. As of this morning though no other action. Would be both very please but very shocked if this thing did end up at my doorstep pre-Thanksgiving.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aSquard:
Mine showed up yesterday.. this thing is BLAZING fast and the screen is gorgeous!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Ok so 128gb just shipped today and the original ship date was 11/27 also my 64gb seems to be on the same track possibly ships today or tommorrow
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BMP1244:
Update to my post early up this page.

Got an email notification that it has shipped today. Will be here Friday.

Previous ship date was the 27th with delivery towards the end of the month. Looks like it's coming a little bit earlier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MNX1024:
Like everyone who has a ship date of 27th, mine is also arriving on this coming Friday. Was kind of hoping that it would deliver tomorrow instead because I'm actually home. Oh wells. Not like my accessories are here anyway. Did a last minute shopping session on Amazon last night when I realize I got charged.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Second 64gb panda shipped also
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dreamcell:
Got an email notification that it just shipped today.

I ordered it on 10/16, expect delivery on 12/5. Two weeks earlier, just on time for Thanksgiving!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Well, FedEx messed up. My wife took off work today because our phones require a signature and we missed yesterday. She's been in the living room working all day, FedEx guy came, didn't knock or ring the bell and left a "we missed you " slip. She even tried flagging him down as he drove off. So she called, they apologized and are going to try and return but apparently FedEx Ground normally doesn't try and redeliver on the same day. We both work tomorrow and have tickets for the hockey game after work so no chance of being there tomorrow...so frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke:
got mine delivered to my office. thing is really fast. i have the blue shift, which is noticeable, but doesn't both me since i never look at my phone at an angle, so it's not really an issue for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] klaxeus:
Got a shipping notification. Was supposed to ship on the 24th, but will now be delivered instead on that date.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] belair56:
Leave note.....

I knew I would miss my delivery, so I taped a note to the front door.

Printed my name , signed with order # .

Added I authorize Fedex to leave package

When I got home the phone was there the note was gone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ErylFlynn:
WHAT? I ordered on the 5th, and have a 27th ship date. But so far no notice and order can still be changed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] santanac:
I ordered the 64gb version. Which one did you order?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ErylFlynn:
Same, and I spoke too soon. 20 Minutes ago it started moving through the system. Already been billed as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kaparrray:
Mine was supposed to ship on 27th but I got charged on the credit card today. How soon should I expect it to ship? The order details haven't changed yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cedargreen:
The wait is worth it. The Panda def sticks out. The orange power button is also a 'Hot' or neonish orange. Glad I ordered this one and gave my wife the black one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dreamcell:
Just setting up my Panda now, tiny blue tint, but that is okay for me. Other than that, everything is beautiful. Very happy about it.

Ordered it on 10/16, original delivery date was Dec. 5th. Arrived this afternoon, 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Manufacture date: 11/13.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kaparrray:
Shipped today !!! ETA for shipping was Nov 27th... but the bad news is that it says estimated delivery date will be Nov 28th-29th against the original Nov. 30th. :crying:

Any encouraging stories here? Looks like they sent it by OnTrac.:crying::(

Panda Delivery

Original delivery date was Nov 25-27, they tried to deliver it Nov 21 but we were out of town. I signed up for a FedEx account and put a hold on it until tomorrow (Nov 25), we just got home tonight. So it's coming tomorrow!! I'm so excited!!!

My Moto X is so tired, the battery keeps dying at 35% - very frustrating. I shall give it it's last rites tomorrow then bury it in a drawer (it could be useful in an emergency).

---------- Post added at 06:47 ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 ----------

With this later manufacture date, has the speaker noise been fixed?

---------- Post added at 07:06 ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 ----------

Interesting about FedEx.....I too got an email last Tuesday that they couldn't deliver here, but we received no call from the gate, nor did our Ring doorbell record any motion or actual ring. What are these guys trying to pull? Turns out we were out of town anyway so it didn't matter. I put a hold on it until tomorrow, so it BETTER SHOW UP tomorrow!!! FYI: I highly recommend the Ring doorbell. You get motion alerts and ring alerts on your phone. You can talk to whomever is at your front door while they're there. It's also great proof if someone's lying about delivering (or stealing from your porch!!)

Panda Received

Got it today, very happy! Here's a pic of the back with my "Transparent purple protector" purple cover - the black/white is still very visible.

Got my 128GB Panda in yesterday. Massive blue shift, and paper texture in background. Debating whether I want to roll the dice on getting another, or get another device completely. This phone is perfect, side the screen!

With this later manufacture date, has the speaker noise been fixed?

---------- Post added at 07:06 ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 ----------

I didn't notice any noise so far. And, the battery life is AMAZING!!!

:victory:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goffmj:
I'm in the same boat. I can live with the blue tint, but that weird texture is pretty jarring and I'm not sure that I can get used to it. Maybe I'm just particularly sensitive to it, but I can see it in most pictures and backgrounds. It's a real shame because everything else is absolutely perfect. I'll give it another day or two of use and see if I can adjust. I had to play the RMA lottery with my 6P and I really don't feel like doing that again. Might just have to return this beautiful beast.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:

Ordered from Google. Can't wait for it to turn up. But concerned about staining on the white back, the blue tint and whether it will be a bit too big. Oh well, guess I can always send it back and get a Pixel 2.

Replacement Panda arrived today... Still has blue shift, not QUITE as bad as the first on texture, or shift color (new one is a bit lighter), but no difference in viewing angles.

I'm waiting my replacement, distortion on the bottom speaker
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Looks like 128GB Panda was in stock two days ago 11/29 for immediate shipment. I ordered two days ago, expedited shipping, arrives today. I had an original 128GB order I placed on 11/4 that was set to ship 12/4. Cancelled that one :)

Edit: manufactured date 11/15.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rodeojones:
Got shipping notification for my Penguin (yes, it's a penguin, not a panda - I'm a zookeeper, so I would know). I wasn't expecting it for two more weeks, so this was a surprise. I actually cancelled my order on Monday and reordered to get the free Google Home mini and $100 credit. Either way, I'm excited. Hopefully it doesn't have the issues my announcement day all black version had. Manufacture date of November 18th, if that means anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sychen79:
what the crap... ordered on the 24th Nov said to ship 12th Dec, and now immediately for you guys?

Looked on site now and Shipping on the 11th.. still earlier than mine( yes i know by one day).

What kind of inventory system does this? if you have more stock.. wouldn't you push the early orders out the door first?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Connorj2005:
This is what I'm trying to understand too. I contacted Google support and they were no help. I ordered on the 27th with a ship date of Dec 18th (woof!!) and saw that if I bought one on Friday (Dec 1) it would ship by Monday (Dec 4). If I didn't have the $100 credit and free mini coming with my order, I would have cancelled and reordered

Edit: I just checked Google's shipping times and if you order a 64 GB panda it will ship immediately...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sychen79:
After some inquiries to support( which was completely useless and idiotic) about delivery of earlier orders with later delivery dates.. just got notification that mine have shipped (4 days early). Subsequently got another support email to say there is nothing they can do, which just means they were not helpful at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TokyoGuy:
It's funny how hard to find this color variant is even now. Depending on the country though apparently.

The one I'm using now (Black and White/128GB) was literally picked up in Australia as a walk in. There were several in the store, and other stores as well.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BMP1244:
Lol, I know how y'all feel.

Ordered on the 5th with a Nov 27th ship date. Honestly, not real sure I understand the point of pre-ordering when it's shipped almost two months out.

Oh well. Life goes on. Glad this is about the only thing bugging me right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ggreenwood334:
Yeah. Thought the point of a pre order was too be first and have your phone on launch day. When someone else can walk in the store and buy one
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BMP1244:
Yeah. I hear that. Seems kinda silly but I guess it is what it is. At the end of the day it's on them. If I get bored or lose interest then it only hurts them. No biggie.

Ordered my 64gb Panda on 10/4 around noon PST through Verizon; Has a ship by date of 11/1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BMP1244:
Dang. I wonder if cause I got the 128gb that's the reason why it's delayed for way longer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Probably delayed because they didn't make enough. The black you can order today and have it next week. I got the black while I wait for the panda that won't ship until next month.
