received my carrier unlocked white 3xl a few minutes ago, ordered it Thanksgiving.

OEM unlock grayed out so I'm returning it and staying with my nexus 6p.

is there a way to tell if i was sent a Verizon model?

received my white 64gb carrier unlocked from carol stream 1 hour ago, powered the phone upwithout sim or connecting to wifi and went to developer options and oem was grayed out.

went online to start return but they were going to charge 35 restock fee.

came on here and saw your post so i did a factory reset on the 3xl put in a sim and connected to wifi.

skipped thru set up to developer options and now OEM unlocking is available.

thanks so much, almost sent it back!!!!

Woke up this morning to an email from Google Fi, who still haven't shipped my phone, but they at least tried to charge my card, which the bank promptly declined for fraud. I'm beginning to agree with my bank, because I immediately rectified that with them, and still nothing, and it's been one month and four days since I ordered.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
how did you find your $50.00 credit ?

Email notification or what ? How long from the time you received the phone to the time the credit appeared ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DOMF:
*FINALLY* got my phone yesterday, rooted, custom kernel, everything is peachy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bubba:
I ordered mine on the October 13 and received on October 17. Got the credit email on November 16. Ordered the pixel stand on November 26 and it's shipped and for to arrive on December 5.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Ordered mine Wednesday evening during the travel promo. Got a shipping notification Friday morning, but it hasn't been scanned/picked up yet... anyone else in the same boat?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] weiln12:
Also ordered mine as part of the travel promo. Until Saturday my order stated delivery between 11/30-12/3, however since then it just says "delayed". Other than the confirmation email (11/28) and the email verifying I qualify for the promo (11/30) I've yet to receive any information from Google. I have no idea if I'll get it this week or in January. What's even more strange to me is that if I order a Pixel 3 XL from the Google Store right now it'll ship by 12/15, but if I order it from the Google Fi Store it wont be delivered until January 17. At this rate I'll get my data-only SIM cards before I get my actual device or my wife's SIM.

I understand delays happen, but this complete lack of communication from Google is the worst experience ever.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thistoo:
Still no credit

Guessing i should call Google at this point since im not receiving the $50.00 credit. Been 5 weeks now since i received the phone. Wonder if there was some glitch which disqualified me because Google delayed my shipping by 4 weeks ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
That's terrible.

The Nexus 4 launch wasn't as bad for me. I ordered as soon as the page went live (which was 30 min earlier than the expected time). The server crashed 15 minutes later -- once word got around that orders were live -- and all the early orders got lost because the order processing servers weren't restored. However, after 3 or 4 days of not knowing what was happening with my order, Google got it straightened out, and overnighted it for free, so I had the phone 5 days after ordering.

The Nexus 6 launch, for me, was the worst. The phone was announced Oct 15, with pre-orders going live Oct 29 for shipment in Nov. As with the Nexus 4, I was ready to place an order as soon as the site went live. I had the phone in my cart, but when I went to check out, it had disappeared. I tried again -- same result. Then, only about 30 seconds after the site went live, the pre-order button was replaced with "out of stock." :confused:

For the next two frustrating weeks, I tried over and over again to place an order as one or two phones would randomly pop into "inventory" (despite this being a pre-order). I finally got lucky on Nov 12 and was able to order a phone, and was given a ship date of Nov 26. That date passed, and the phone had not shipped. I contacted Google every day and was told "It will ship today." ; it didn't. It wasn't until Dec 2 -- a week after the "ships by" date -- that it finally shipped.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
I was considering canceling my 3XL order and ordering again with the protection plan but then I read more on it...

3XL incident replacement = $129, base price $899

2XL incident replacement deductible = $99, base price last year $849

and you only get 2 total replacements.

So the total price for the phone goes up $50 from last year and the deductible goes up $30???? Glad I didn't get it, that's BS!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
The Nexus 6 launch was actually pretty good for me, I ordered it as soon as pre-orders was live with no problem and 2 weeks later it shipped!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RayEdmondson:
Ordered my all black Pixel 3 XL 128 GB from Verizon on Oct 9, delivery date Oct 18.

Can't wait!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
Attached the Page Monitor chrome extension to my order detail page and they've changed the wording. They've removed any mention of being able to change your address. You can still cancel but my thinking is that they are now printing labels. Not scanning them yet, but I think progress is being made. I believe beginning Sunday you will no longer be able to cancel and we should start seeing shipment emails mid-day Monday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
Alright! It's time for the traditional wild speculation based on minor order status changes to begin!

I noticed on the order details page for my order that, while I still have the option to cancel the order, I can no longer edit the shipping address.

Does this mean that my order has progressed to a point in the order fulfillment process where it's no longer possible to change the shipping address? Did Google simply remove the option to change shipping addresses? Are aliens real?

I don't know the answers, but it's always fun to make blind conjecture about what -- if anything -- it all means.

Edit: Looks like One3OneKing beat me to the punch!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
same here. No option to edit address. Deliver by october 19 to 22, pixel 3 xl white 64gb
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Same. Since they ship next Wednesday, our cards being charged will be the giveaway. Last year mine was charged in the evening before it shipped. So, I'm betting that will be Tuesday, assuming there are no problems.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
Same here. Cancel has now disappeared for me as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
I cannot cancel my order anymore as well!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
These will definitely be shipped on Monday. Guarantee it. That's the review embargo and Verizon has been promising Oct 18th delivery and I know since they will have to ship then, Google will too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Razviar:
So promising disappearance of cancel button!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jawmail:
No cancel button. Got one of the first 2 XL's last year (like a week before the ship date shown in email) and I'm very close to Carol Stream Fedex warehouse that they ship a lot of phones from. Hopefully I have same luck this year.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
I noticed labels already made, but obviously not shipped, seems mine are coming from NJ.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
how did u find out ur label was made?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Actually was just coincidence, I had ordered some other stuff and it got shipped via fedex. When I went to the site to check tracking on those items, they were listed as labels created., and are "pending".

I dont believe I have anything else shipping via fedex, so Im fairly confident thats what these are for.

In the past I have gotten them from NJ as well, as thats one of the customs point of entry from china.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] El Daddy:
No option to cancel anymore for me as well. 19-22 delivery window.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPhoenix:
I can’t cancel mine now either.

ordered a couple minutes after page went live. said ship by 10/17 and I have delivery 10/19-10/22 I live in Chicago so I should get it day after it ships. Can't cancel order anymore as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kos26:
I ordered mine on the 10th from the Google store. It just updated earlier and said they'll email me when it ships. I can't cancel the order anymore, so I'm guessing it's preparing for shipment since it had said I could cancel until it ships.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheUndertaker21:
Can't cancel either.

Hopefully it get shipped by Monday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RickCain:
Kinda funny but I ordered a Black 128Gb XL this afternoon and I already can't edit the order. Will be crazy if it actually ships out next week!!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Razviar:
What is your delivery ETA?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RickCain:
Says by Oct 23 but that is what it said at the time of ordering. I don't expect that date to change until it actually ships.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RomPlinker:
Which is kinda funny, because I ordered mine within minutes of the google store showing up (I had modified the pixel-2 URL and kept refreshing during the presentation until it came up). The Google Store gave me October 24-25 delivered by date on the west coast. All that said, I haven't been able to cancel for a couple of days now, and it shows "Shipment 1" with the we'll email when / if we can.

I'm guessing mine will still go out with the first batch, so I guess Google got the supply side right this time, or there just wasn't the demand they expected. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter as I was and still am on the fence, but I look at it like... I didn't mine the form factor of the P2XL. and the P3XL gives me a little more screen space, and the same or better camera, plus updates, and most importantly from what I've read the screen doesn't suffer from blueshift.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] htusa:
My stand and OtterBox case order removed the cancel button. The ETA changed from Nov 7-11 to Oct 16-19.

Pixel still shows Oct 19-22

Interesting...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
I finally went to a Best Buy store to check out the pixel 3 XL. After of playing with it for 10 minutes I didn’t even notice the notch anymore. It’s probably because I am used to the iPhone X notch. And my opinion it’s not as bad as people are making it out to be. I think the build quality is the best of any of the pixels that have been out so far. And that screen is beautiful. I am glad I was able to play with it before I got it. It just makes me feel better about my purchase.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ack154:
Ordered two XLs, both 128 GB, (White for me, Not Pink for her) along with two Pixel stands.

Email confirmation timestamp is 11:57 am (eastern).

Current estimate is delivery by 19-22 but I'm pretty sure the ship date estimate on the website was 17-19... so I expect them by Friday. No indication that the Pixel stands will affect that yet.

As with everyone else, no more ability to cancel/edit order. I checked the FedEx app and didn't see anything yet for a label created - and I doubt anyone else is actually seeing that label yet either (probably for something else).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NippleSauce:
Ordered my white 128gb Pixel 3 XL on the evening of October 10th. My estimated delivery date is October 26-27 :(

Guess this gives me one more week with my old LG V20 forum, haha.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tmuka:
Pre-ordered the Pixel 3 XL 128GB black the minute preorders opened (thanks to auto-refreshing the store phone page during the announcement event!). Confirmation email order time October 09, 2018, 12:10 PM. Not marked as shipped yet, can't cancel now, "order says delivered by Oct 18 – 19". I also ordered the Pixel Stand.

I got an interesting USPS delivery expected 10/15 notice last week that i hoped was my phone, but who knows what else it might be!? It says it was shipped via "DHL ECOMMERCE" out of Kentucky. Google usually ships FedEx though, right? No FedEx advanced shipping notices yet, and no pending credit card payments charged.

My google phones have been treating me well. Former Nexus 6, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL preorderer... returned the Pixel 2 XL last year due to screen tint/grit. not too excited about the look of the notch, but hoping the tales of it being easy to get used to when actually using the phone are true.

High-Fives to all the other Pixel 3 pre-ordering family!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blcklab:
For my pixel 2 xl Google didn't use FedEx. I forget the regional courier they used here in Southern California. I just remember the web tracking was awful but it got here overnight in San Diego. So I won't be able to see if a FedEx label has been created assuming they use the same service as last time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
Highly doubt google uses DHL. Did you do the trade in option? Maybe its ur trade in box.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tmuka:
Yeah, I agree about DHL. I expect it to be FedEx again. no, no trade in.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smilingfish:
Ordered while the presentation was going on, same as everyone else, can't cancel. Refreshing the status page every hour or so to see if it shipped.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Okay, now I'm getting a little antsy for Thursday to arrive.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Guys, just an idea here, set an alert on whatever card you used to place the order to text or email you for a purchase over X amount. Your card WILL charge right before the phone ships. Like, last year, my card charged then a little later I received my tracking info. The phone shipped out the next morning. I mean, if you WANT to sit there and refresh the page for another day or two, be my guest. :D

Also, it isn't looking like we're getting them early. I guess they could ship out tomorrow, but, I'm not holding my breath at this point. Mine should be here Thursday or Friday, so, no biggie. Plenty of time to set it up and have it ready to take pictures of my kids doing Halloween stuff on Saturday. (I mainly bought it for the camera upgrades)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Drewski_1987:
Don't know if this means anything but the pending status on my credit card disappeared. But I haven't been charged either. ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
My status has changed on the Verizon B2B site. It no longer says "pending." Now it says "complete." Typically this means it’s going to ship within hours. I don’t have any tracking info yet, though.

Shipped!

(got the email @ 5:05 am CST)

3XL Black 128 Unlocked

Ordered from Google Store @ 10:55 am CST

Scheduled for delivery tomorrow from Carol Stream, IL

Standard shipping

I'm excited to get the phone tomorrow, and I know next day is great for free shipping, but my excitement still has me bemoaning the fact that I have to wait until tomorrow even though I'm 10 miles from Carol Stream because FedEx will likely drive it all the way in to their Chicago hub, unload it, re-sort it, reload it, and then drive it all the way back out here to the 'burbs. :eek::D

[Edit]

Original shipping estimates were:

Ships by 10/17

Delivered by 10/18 - 10/19

So who has the FedEx process to leave a "direct signature required" package? I can't find **** on their site anymore. And there don't seem to be any options when viewing the actual tracking information. I'm also signed up for their Delivery Manager and don't see anything there either. What am I missing?
