I just had a thought. Ignoring the orange power button... has anyone thought that instead of Panda or Penguin the black and white edition is actually Oreo-coloured? :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Mine is sitting at the FedEx facility in my town since 730 this morning. Verizon says it will be delivered today FedEx says tomorrow by 8:00PM. If it sits there all day I'm going to be rather upset.....

Did just get a text from FedEx saying signature is required for my package so I am working from home today, hopefully it comes today and I don't have to try and swing another WFH day tomorrow.

Fingers crossed

Another update, fedex update. "Package Not Due For Delivery" what the hell? So they are just going to hold it because it got there early.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] subin666:
So my phone hasn't reached me yet. But I still decided to check up the phone info on http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html

What was strange to me was the difference in the manufacture and ship date.

Manufacture date:	October 11, 2017

Shipped from factory:	October 20, 2017

I made my friend check his black pix2xl too, but his dates are

Manufacture date:	October 09, 2017

Shipped from factory:	October 11, 2017

He claims to have no issues with his screen, apart from the blue shift.

Can someone confirm if there were similar delays between their manufacture and ship dates as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] geezman:
Mine also has a similar gap between build and ship date. Not sure what the deal is either.

Manufacture date:	October 13, 2017

Shipped from factory:	October 21, 2017

Ordered through the Fi store.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] subin666:
Hopefully, that means a longer QA/QC cycle :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
Manufacture date:	October 19, 2017

Shipped from factory:	October 21, 2017

Maybe, just maybe they've figured out the quality issues and are already correcting them.

Is it possible yours went through extra QC and mine didn't need to because of subsequent issues already resolved? We'll see. fingers crossed. That youtube video gives me hope as does some of the photos around here showing the REALLY blue ones ARE just defective, and NOT meant to be that way.

Directly from FedEx...Although freight does sometimes arrive before our committed delivery day, due to volume and operational requirements deliveries generally are not completed until the packages are due for delivery.

We hope this information is helpful. Again, thank you for contacting FedEx.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
I ordered mine on Oct. 4th as soon as it hit the Google Store. My ship date is Nov. 1-2. I received an email on Oct. 26th that the phone has been shipped. My credit card has been charged. I did not pay for expedited. However when I check FedEx for shipping updates the only information is that the label was created. Either FedEx is not updating timely or my phone is delayed. Opinions? I will be bummed if the device is weeks away. I am ready to retire the 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
FedEx is sending these out 2 day delivery. If it by chance was delayed and leaves tomorrow you'll still have it on delivery date of nov 2nd. Today alone dozens of owners have stated their new phones are sitting at FedEx today waiting only to be delivered tomorrow. FedEx says since delivery date is set they just need to meet that, even if they have it a week earlier than expected, they have no obligation to rush it before the delivery due date. Agreed it's kinda lame but it is what it is.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tomthumb2:
I have had experiences where my fed ex tracking says "Label created" and it just shows up with no tracking updates in between. Not often but at least once that happened

if that gives you any hope at all.

Of course the box could be sitting at the origin site with the label on it for days before being handed to fedex so who knows

Got my Panda 64GB today! Originally was supposed to ship on the oct23 and arrive 27-28.

Ordered 64g Panda from Verizon on the 9th. Just got the we're prepping the order text. From this point, how long has it taken to get shipping info?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tomthumb2:
Just got the same verizon text

"order received - you'll receive a text with your tracking info when you order ships"

and they charged my card

pre-ordered 10/8

Hmm I ordered 64GB Panda from Project Fi store Oct 4 at 9:28am PDT with same Ship and deliver dates. No other emails yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] masterxchief:
To be clear I got an email from my credit card company regarding the charge. I'll follow up tomorrow if anything changes or if the charge ends up being a temp hold.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
Just got charged for my 128 GB Panda as well. Unable to edit my shipping address. Ordered October 4th, from the Google store, at 10:23 PDT, with ship date of November 6th, delivery of 8-9th. Traded in my Pixel XL, so didn't have an expedited shipping option. Hard to believe it's been almost a month since I ordered it, so nice to see some movement. Will update, when shipped. Hang in there.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] twiz0r:
I am also unable to change my shipping address. 128 unlocked. 10:23. ship date was supposed to be 11.6

edit: added original shipping date
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying_Hellfish:
You lucky bastard. ;) I have the same ship/arrival dates and mine hasn't moved or been charged to my CC yet. Did you get a shipping confirmation email? My N6 is really on it's last legs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] J:
64 GB ordered from Fi on the 4th.

Shipped yesterday, and arriving today (overnight freight)

The change to the order page on Google was behind about 5 hours from when the device actually shipped.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
My 64gb was supposed to ship yesterday, but hasn't. So I'm a sad panda. No status change, no shipping email, no charge and no label printed. Hopefully it still arrives by the latest date in the delivery window (tomorrow).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
Don't feel bad. Mine should have shipped the 23rd. I can still edit /cancel mine too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
Eek, so they're more than a week behind for some. At least for the first time for any Google launch I actually have my case and screen protector before I've had the phone in hand for 2+ weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] masterxchief:
Just got my shipping notification, will have it tomorrow or Thursday. FedEx has been super crappy as of late so it's probably gonna show up Friday ?

Same! Mine shipped today. Delivery tomorrow! Was supposed to be 11/6 ship and 11/7 delivery.

Delivery today! Just got the email and text from verizon, FedEx is on it's way. Can't wait to test the low-light camera shots tonight with the kiddo on halloween.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
That's strange that 64gb are delayed while 128gb are going out early. I wonder what's up with that. Could just be staggering which color/storage variant they're shipping at any given time, I guess.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
On here they're also reporting the 64GB penguin/panda delayed as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] charesa39:
Did anybody's Panda ship via OnTrac instead of FedEx? My 128 GB has been sitting at "DATA ENTRY" status since 11:30pm last Friday (the 27th). Has a delivery window of yesterday-today (30th-31st)...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:

It looks the G logo is kinda reflective. Is it printed on or a different material?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
What does it say on FedEx when you look up the tracking number? I received my email for shipping but it's still saying only the label was created. My shipping email came Oct. 26 with delivery Nov 1 or 2. I feel like it's not happening. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nxt:
Yo, so this morning I got charged for the tax price too! Project Fi financing order, 64GB Panda, Oct 4, 9:34am order, original ship date of Nov 6.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] masterxchief:
Same. I am expecting the worst because I also ordered a black xl2 and it shipped last Monday with ground shipping (even though I paid for expedited) but didn't actually move until a day later. Then it was supposed to be delivered last Friday and it never showed up. Finally got it yesterday but I just have no faith in Google or FedEx getting this done with the expectations they set. Anyways the black one is going back because the penguin shipped early ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Different material, sorry about the dog hair in the picture. kinda hard to avoid at this point haha

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] phonepersonality:
For those who have the Panda: How's the texture of the back? Is it gritty/grippy like the black XL2 or smoother?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anuraj1:
After Google missed their Oct 24/25 delivery date, I finally got charged and the device shows as shipped on Friday the 27th and sched to be delivered today by OnTrac.

I don't have many good experiences with OnTrac but I am really hoping they get this one right.

One thing that has me worried is that the device shows as being manufactured on Sept 23. Based on lots of posts here and on reddit, devices manufactured before Oct 20 had looser QC standards which resulted in screen issues. I'll post pics when it is in my hands!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
Are all of you getting shipping notifications 64gb or 128gb?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
How do we find out when it was made?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] charesa39:
In the same boat as you with the delivery date and OnTrac. Only my XL was manufactured on Sept 20th. Not optimistic on getting mine today from OnTrac considering there has been no movement since Friday. I called and they said Google hasn't even given them the package yet...

getting ready to leave the panda waiting room

Device was suppose to ship nov 1 but shipped Oct 30 and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow nov 1

Two days early!

pre-ordered from verizon oct 8

Only sucky part is that I am out of town until Thursday night so we'll see how this goes with fed ex redelivering

I live in the mountains and I know the fed ex guy well.

Last time I had a signature required from verizon he faked the sig and stuck the package inside my screen door.

I am so temped to skip out on the rest of my work trip and go home now. ha. but really can't. torture
