I didn't see that? I guess we'll get an email at some point with it like last year's home mini? I was a little upset thinking there was no pre-order gift this year.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
I think it's 4-6 weeks after ship date. I read it somewhere in the email they sent.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I went back and looked, and it says 6 months of free premium YouTube music access. US site. Nothing about a $50 credit...

I ordered the white Pixel 3 XL 128gb from the Google store a few hours after the event and have a delivery date of Oct. 24th-25th.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
It was in the email they sent.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheJareBear:
Ordered my 3 XL a few minutes after the event and I have an estimated delivery of Oct 22 - 23. I will say that ordering went a hell of a lot smoother than last year's 2 XL or with the original Nexus 6.

Deliver by: 10/18/2018
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gordietm:
There seems to be a preference for black over white. I currently have a white XL and can't decide yet which color for the 3XL. I am leaning towards black.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kartheek4u:
I ordered the pixel 3 XL black 64GB as soon as it showed up on

Project Fi (Google Store came up late). I was happy that I would be in the 1st batch of shipments but Google store dropped a bomb yesterday saying Google store preorders are eligible for 50$ store credit and as expected Orders from project Fi are not eligible. So, had to cancel my project Fi order and order from Google Store. So what happens, my order delivery is pushed by almost a week. I never learn from my mistakes. Something similar happened last time when I had to cancel my initial order from project Fi. Never order from Project Fi. Order from Google store and select project Fi option. Lesson learnt
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I definitely did not get that email. Well, good stuff! I guess maybe I'll get the home hub or something with it. Maybe
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
hate to bring you more bad news but had you kept it thru fi they are giving $799 in google fi credit for buying thru them. so they have the best preorder bonus of them all!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kartheek4u:
I saw that. But it is only if you buy 2 Devices. Here is the promo - "Get $799 Fi credit when you buy two and add a new Fi user to your plan". So, It doesn't work for me.

EDIT: Confirmed the same with a Project Fi Chat Rep and Google Store Chat Reps multiple times since yesterday.

The Nexus 4 launch was the worse, I didn't get mine until January, and I think it was released in Nov lol

I called in and they said that we'd get a 50$ store credit 4 to 6 weeks after device ships.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
nice, that will bring trade-in value for 2 XL to $385.

still not as nice as OG XL for 2 XL, but more palatable.

well, got my trade-in kit, no 3 XL yet tho!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
after using night sight i had to return this phone
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
could you elaborate at why ??

could you state your opinion as to why night sight was so bad? PM me or if you already discussed this link it ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
some call it voodoo, others call it brujería, google calls it night sight

this is black wizardry at its finest.

(i was joking regarding sending the phone back)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
A little late to the party, but I had to wait for Google Store (Syncrony) to send me my store card ;)

I ordered my P3XL 128Gb yesterday, estimated arrival Nov 7-8
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrgom:
Day 3 of the hostage situation lol. FedEx has left multiple door tags while I'm at work, signed them left instructions, but they won't deliver. Find out Google put strict restrictions on my delivery so had to call and get Google to make an exception so hopefully it comes today. But a little worried as my tracking still shows my address rather than the pick up center... Fingers crossed
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
May I ask why you had to wait? I applied when I went to order the phone and was able to use syncrony right away, so I'm just curious.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
I probably missed something (I was drinking beer at the time, lol), they told me I was approved, and then somehow I got to a page that said they would mail me a letter in 7-10 business days. Which, as it turns out, was a good thing. I had originally ordered the regular Pixel 3 and not the XL.

After going to a Verizon store and playing around with both, I wanted the XL :D

(Regular Pixel was just too small for my liking)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
I haven't read your other posts... Getting to the time when they might return to sender... UPS did that to me once. You should be able to take the door tag to the local FedEx warehouse and pick it up after 530pm or so. That what you're doing?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrgom:
Hopefully it gets delivered to a FedEx holding facility today, that's what the Google cs rep said she set up, I more don't trust the new FedEx guy following directions though. We will see
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
The beer will creep up on you like that ? lol. Seems like it worked out for you in the end though!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrgom:
So I just got a notification from FedEx that they couldn't deliver my package because I wasn't home. I call and talk to customer service and ask about the delivery instructions that Google called and gave them while I was on the phone listening, FedEx claims no call was placed and have no record of the interaction with Google. After a few attempts by myself of giving him the name of the rep we spoke with the location of the new delivery I finally gave up because the guy was basically calling me a liar. I'm pretty sure when/if I get my phone delivered tomorrow it's going to be roughed up..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
Certainly. I've got cases and screen protectors on the way, should beat the device to my door, lol

PS, after reading the FedEx stuff, I'll be home if I gotta take off work ;)

EDIT:

Got an email saying my shipment has been moved up a week, so Yay! Scheduled for Oct 31-Nov 1
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Brakiss:
Ordered 6 minutes after announcement, originally said I will receive 10/24, delayed until 11/8 for no reason. Noone will answer me and all they say is how popular they are and they are sorry for the inconvenience. People who ordered on the 16th have their phones. Makes me rethink if a Pixel 4 will be my next phone. Only reason I have not cancelled is I got 2 pixel stands, cases, and screen protectors waiting and sending those back would be more of a hassle.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
So... I ordered my White XL 128 during the launch. I would switch my order to the Not Pink if I thought it would make a difference. At this point, I'm starting to think Project Fi is just crapping on the people who have messaged them for details.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
I wouldn't count on the delivery date estimates for much. My order says delivered by Oct 30 or 31st and there's still an option to cancel and no tracking info. I chatted with Google support and they insist it's on track to be delivered on time. Unless they're upgrading me to overnight shipping then there's no way it gets here by then.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
I'm getting like 2 emails a day, first they say my delivery date has changed to Oct 31-Nov 1, then later in the day, I get another saying it's changed back to Nov 7-8 (which was the original dates when I ordered)

This has been going on since the other day and I too can still cancel my order. On the plus side, I did get my screen protectors and case already...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
Do you have the FedEx app? You can just check the app to see if you have any deliveries coming to your address.

Ditto... I got my PXL case a couple weeks ago and SlickWraps and Dbrand skins are both in the snailmail right now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
I just installed and checked. Nothing.

It's funny that their chat still assures me I'm getting the package by the delivery date, which is today or tomorrow when the device clearly hasn't even shipped.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
Well, I ordered on the 9th during the Pixel presentation... According to Fi/Goog, I should have had my white 128 PXL last week. That got moved to the 8th and now the 15th.

Right now, I'm having Goog contact me to switch my order to the Not Pink 128 PXL. My girl got hers from VZW on the 17th. It's a nice color. Besides, I'm gonna have a skin and a case on it. Who cares what color it is.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
I considered doing that as well but if the shipping dates aren’t accurate for current orders I don’t trust the estimate on the “not pink” colorway to be accurate either.

I don’t get how they are missing shipping dates by such a huge margin. I’d rather they push the guaranteed delivery date back and be accurate then constantly move the dates each week.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
Supposedly, the pink is actually in stock while the black and white models are backordered to hell. We'll see what they say.

I wish Goog would take care of their customers first before supplying locked phones to other carriers. Shyte... Foxconn is building the phones. They have a good track record of building tons of iphones as needed. You'd think that Goog would want a little surplus of phones to start. Send those things out - first come first served. A 5 week long wait like I have to current delivery date feels like the phones haven't been made yet at my time of purchase
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
I think I mentioned it here before but my guess is that they’ve been overwhelmed with RMA’s from people who pre-ordered and are now trying to get them their replacements before filling new orders which is why everyone is getting pushed. But that’s just a guess. Either way, they’ve handled this horribly for a 3rd year in a row.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nomisr:
It seems like White is the only one that's delayed, ship by date for the black was Nov 5th a week ago, and it's still showing Nov 5th. I ordered before the Google Event ended and had a delivery date of 10/22-23 and like everyone else turned into 11/8 and now 11/13-14. And when you look at the buy page, ship date shows 11/12, so it means that you can buy it today or a month ago and you get it the same time. What's the whole point of preordering then?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
Did you order unlocked, Verizon, or Google Fi? They seem to be going out at different times.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nomisr:
I ordered an unlocked version.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
I just got an updated delivery date email that says Nov 6th or 7th. When I click the link to the order page it says delivered by Nov 1st or 2nd.

FFS they just have no clue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
Soooo... This is the lame excuse I just got from Alex on the Project Fi staff. He told me, with confidence in his voice that:

Our phones *ARE* in stock in the warehouse, but the large numbers of sales are bogging down the staff and only the shipping is slow.

Seriously. Alex told me this.

So, according to Alex, even if I cancel my day one order for a white 128GB PXL that store.google.com says is out of stock and I order the in stock pink 128GB PXL, I would get put back in the shipping queue and it would still take as long or longer to get the pink phone.

Sounds like Project Fi is not being truthful with me. Again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
Pretty clear now that the Google support staff have no clue on the status of when devices will ship. My delivered by date has changed 3 or 4 times and as of yesterday they still assured my it would be here by today. Last night I get an email saying it will be Nov 6 or 7th and the order status page says Nov 1 or 2nd. Just for kicks I contacted Google again today to find out which of those timelines are accurate and they "assured" me that it will be delivered by Nov 1 or 2. Unless they overnight it today or tomorrow there's zero chance of that happening. They're just guessing at this point.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
Woke up to something great. I can't cancel my black 3 xl 128 anymore, it says they'll send an email when the phone is on it's way. Delivery date still says Nov 6-7, but I have expedited shipping, so if it gets send out today I should get it tomorrow.. that is.. if it's priority overnight like my girlfriend's was.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
Mine is the same, can no longer cancel :highfive:

IIRC, that means that the warehouse is getting ready to send them out. My dates are from Nov 2-5 now...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
Samething

My order for 128gb 3 xl not pink unlocked. Was able to cancel when i started my work shift 2 hours ago. Now first break and log into my orders account and hit the refresh button cant cancel change or adjust. Ordered during keynote speech original delivery date was 10/23/18-10/25/18. Now is 11/7/18-11/08/18. Think since everyone else is seeing the same thing a massive shipment is going to occur ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
Just got the email, mine has shipped. So I think you're correct in your assessment, lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
Yep, mine just shipped and it actually says expected tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
Just got the email saying my phone has shipped! Should be here tomorrow!

no longer cancel received it two days later.

but it didnt state it was shipped
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hahajoker:
Hmm, I wonder if FedEx tracking is just slow to update. It says mine will be delivered tomorrow but it also says they've only recieved shipping info and not that it's left the sorting facility.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
Mine says arriving Monday, according to tracking anyway. That gives me all weekend to work on my device trees :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
What I've been playing with! ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] edved:
Mine still hasn't arrived. Canada Post is on strike. Don't know why Google would use them anyway. Contacted Google and explained the situation.

I could have purchased the phone here in Canada since it went on sale Nov 1st. I'm hoping a free fabric case is in order.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
seems like journaling is disabled on all partitions except one in the pixel 3

first time I've seen this on any android phone it's usually enabled by default

which is great,I've always said it's a useless feature
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xaiux:
Yeah, I'm pretty angry about this too. My fabric case is a week late, and my phone looks like it'll be at least a week late
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] edved:
Call Google and complain. Tell them to never utilize Canada Post in the future! Maybe get that case at a discount. Idk. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
Holy Junk

Waiting at home for my phone. Supposedly on the delivery truck out for delivery now. Fedex gives a Window of 8a-8pm glad i paid for that excellent express shipping. Called and asked for a better ballpark on delivery sure that only going to irritate the driver.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
The FedEx app gave me a tighter window, like 10am to 1pm, or something like that. Where as the website told me "by the end of the day".
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] edved:
Canada Post still on strike and my phone has been in limbo for nearly 2 weeks. Calling them and asking where my phone is, is comical. I finally gave up and asked Google to RMA my phone. I went out and got the 3xl 2 days ago. It's my best phone yet. I love it.

Google has been great. With my initial order, the Pixel stand was included free with my purchase. They're letting me keep the stand free of charge. My original order is still in limbo.

Google needs to avoid Canada Post in the future.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neovalkyr:
Hmm. I ordered my pixel last week wednesday. It was supposed to arrive Nov. 1-2 but then went into limbo. I finally decided to contact google about it, and they just canceled my order. Now i try to reorder it and i can't add it to my shopping cart really weird.

So I know a bunch of us got emails saying we were getting a $50 Google store credit.. I ordered my phone on October 11th received my phone on October 16th and got the email saying I would be getting the credit on October 31st. Still have yet to see this supposed credit show up on my account. I'm trying to be patient and wait to order a pixel stand with the credit but each day I lose a bit of that patience.

Anyone actually received the credit yet?

Sent from my p3xl
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
Dates are different for me but same situation.

Same deal Different dates. Just got Phone last Thursday. Let us know how this works out for you?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
So far it hasn't lol. I hope to get the credit but certainly not holding my breath at this point. This credit is the only reason I'd even buy a pixel stand to be honest. At $80 it's not very appealing but at $30 it'd be hard to beat

Sent from my p3xl

Was going to use the credit to by the dock as well.

I have not seen a date listed. My email reads:

High five for pre-ordering Google Pixel 3. You’re now eligible to get $50 Google Store promotional balance.1 Within 4-6 weeks of your phone shipping, we’ll send you an email letting you know when it’s available to use (as long as you didn’t cancel your order or return your Pixel 3).

Been lurking here for awhile, just ordered an XL on the pre-black-Friday bogo 50% deal. I'm coming from a Verizon LG V20, and the hack to unlock the bootloader on that thing makes the phone buzz constantly during boot...it works, but it's kind of hilarious... I'm excited for a non-Verizon oem-unlockable thing without the crazy hoops to jump through... And the clean Android experiece. And a dead sexy looking phone.

New phone season is the most wonderful time of the year!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
As ZacJohnson just mentioned

Google is giving some seriously frustrating Black Friday deals. If you haven't received your order. I would cancel and reorder. Save your self 150 to couple hundreds of dollars.

Google support has been godawful.

Am I ever likely to actually get these phones?
