Ordered mine online through them but no movement yet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
What colour & size? I see pink isn't available

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

I see they have them but no store delivery option, 1st Novotel probably is then :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
64gb just black XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Anyone had any movement on their order yet, mine is still saying processing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
nothing yet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
No updates on mine as of yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Naah nothing yet on mine, don't expect anything until at least next week
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Yup, I keep on looking just in case possibly maybe they ship it early even though I know they won't lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
What I am interested is if I'll get mine on the 5th like Google currently says, or it will move earlier to the 1st like what CPW say
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
I'm hoping mine moves too as I ordered via the Google store and mines currently on 5th - 6th November.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Just got an email to say my order status has changed to October 30th to October 31st
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Hot damn, just got an email saying the order date has changed to the 30th / 31st Oct!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Balino:
Mine Just changed to 2-5 november
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
Delivery still feels like ages away - or is that just me ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
It's not just you lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
damn, I need it before the 3rd Nov as I'm flying out and wanna push the cam to the limit on my holiday, when was your original date, I ordered the second it went available and my dates are 2-5th Nov.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
It was 5th / 6th Nov, for a 64gb white
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
strange...did you receive an email of the change or just refreshed the order page?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Email out of the blue with a delivery date change

Maybe the 128 Gbs are slightly behind?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
I agree as i ordered mine from the Google store (Pixel 3 XL 64GB Just Black) on the 12th and i got an email last night saying it'll be coming between 30th and 31st.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Maybe, oh well, I hope I get it before the 3rd
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Which model did you order?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
I purchased the 64GB Just black model
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyCr15:
I ordered 64GB White XL about 10 minutes before the presentation ended. No delivery adjustment yet for me :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Thrillofit:
I ordered the 128GB with Pixel Stand and case. It says 5-6 nov. Wish it to come faster :( But did anyone got their money taken yet from Google? Because Google took money from me but then gave it back? But the order is still good....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Most companies do that to make sure you have sufficient funds to pay for the item once it ships
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Just noticed your signature, are you the fella that does the reviews online? https://www.youtube.com/user/AndroidAndyUK
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyCr15:
Hi, yes, that's me :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Nice, I've been watching your reviews keep up the good work man!

Would definitely be interested to see a review of the device throughout the day, like a real day in the life review where you would use the phone throughout the day and see how it copes (especially the battery)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Received the £75 off email today (thought there would have been a code but no)

Ordered the Clearly White 64gb XL, delivery currently Nov 6th - 7th.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Hi when did you order your Pixel 3?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
My bad, forgot the add the main point of my post!

Ordered today 25/10 (was waiting for the email)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
I take it no one's order has changed yet? my one still on 'ordered'
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
about 7 days left.....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
Who's counting :D

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

If anyone is interested, John Lewis are now taking preorders for the Pixel Stand, £69 including delivery on November 1st - https://www.johnlewis.com/google-pixel-stand-wireless-charging-stand/p3821196

They've also stopped taking pre-orders for some of the phone variants, although Just Black is still available in all four combinations. Presumably that means they've allocated all the stock they are expecting. I wonder how many they ordered....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Just got a delivery update, its now Nov 1st - 2nd.

Was originally Nov 6th - 7th

Ordered this morning from Google, 25th Oct.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
What size?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
White XL 64gb
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Damn, was hoping you were gonna say 128
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Keep checking my order and it's still on for the 01/11 now just need to decide whether I should bother keeping my OP6 or just ditch it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickhammond121:
Just had an update

6-7 Nov was 5-6 Nov

Black 128Gb
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
No changes on my one

Ordered 128gb delivery between 2nd to 5th Nov
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
The option to cancel my order has gone and it now says We'll email you when your delivery is on its way.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyCr15:
Thanks.

Yeah, I've watched some of those recently. I think the harder thing for me is I don't have someone that can film me through the day...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
True, lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
My one just changed, from 2nd - 5th November to 15-16 November!! WTF is Google playing!

What's the point of preordering if they can't stick to their own pre-order dates. Just shows how incompetent they are on managing their orders. This is ridiculous!!

I've now placed another order through Carphone Warehouse for the 128GB white, their deli6date is set to 1st November, I will keep both orders open to see which one comes first (hoping Google change it the next few days) and will cancel the other.

I'm truly disappointed in Google :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Don't be, it could just be an error on their system, you can only be dissapointed once your original ship date has passed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
True but can't take the risk of waiting so I've placed an order through CPW and keeping my Google order alive to see if it changes.

I'm flying out on Saturday so ideally want it before the 3rd Nov so I can take it with me :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
3 days left...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Yup so close now :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
anymore updates?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Mine still says processing with JL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
On the google store mine changed on Saturday evening from "You can cancel your order or change your delivery address until your order is received at our warehouse for packing. This normally takes an hour but can be longer." to "We'll email you when your delivery is on its way."
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeparkie:
Ordered before then end of the press event on 09/10

I ordered a P3 (says delivered by 30/31) and a P3XL (02-05/11, changed to the 05-07/11 and then changed back to 02-05/11).

Typical Google. I just ordered and forgot about it, excited as I get, I've been burnt by their delivery/ordering behaviours in the past.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
no update yet from Google store or CPW
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
None also from JL yet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyCr15:
Mine is still showing 2nd to 5th. I'm at work all the 2nd, so I guess I'll go pick it up on the Saturday. Do they deliver Saturday if you're not home Friday, or would it be Monday?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Just thought when I ordered mine from JL there was no option for delivery and just checked and their free delivery is up to 5 days, might give them a shout to confirm what delivery method they are using as I might need to rearrange delivery if it's not going to be sent to my home on the 01/11.

*Edit*

Just spotted this "Pre-order before 10:00pm on the 29th October and receive your new Google Pixel 3 on launch day." so hopefully I will get mine on the 01/11 as I preordered it on the 11/10 (seems an eternity ago now!)

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

I think it really comes down to the courier which they choose, some do offer weekend delivery at a small charge.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Going by all the Nexus / pixel phones I've ordered from Google, they'll only pay for a weekday delivery service

What I read into the 2nd / 5th delivery window is they are aiming to despatch on the Thursday, for delivery Friday. If they slip or its with the courier for longer then it will delivered on the Monday
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wazka2:
Has any of you got an £75 promo email after pre-ordering?

I have pre-ordered 3XL 64GB Just Black during the event on 9th of October. Went on chat with them to see if I will get it and she said I fill all the criteria and should receive it but nothing yet.

Some reported that offer is only available to selected customers . Which means Google can do what they want ;(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Neither have i, apparently this is going by a Google support chat, they said they would be sending them out on November 1st allegedly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wazka2:
They better will! :)

It's dear enough ! They have to chip something in! ;)

YouTube Premium only for those who never subscribed, I used free month offer before so bollocks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Just had another update from Google via email, they have changed my delivery date to 6-7 Nov, good thing I also placed the 2nd order from CPW for 1st November delivery.

From 2-5 November to 15-16 Nov and now 6-7 Nov ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
I hope they do too, I'll give them a few days and I'll be messaging them to find out what's happening.

I'm the same with YouTube premium, I pay for it now and its a shame they don't just add it as credit or something...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
On my JL account the detailed order status includes the following statement:

The following will be delivered direct by one of our nominated suppliers on 1st November

That was with the free delivery (only available option) so hopefully we will all be getting the same treatment.

Now just got to keep myself busy for the next two days to stop time standing still :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickhammond121:
Just had another update, 13-14 Nov now
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Thrillofit:
Wow I just got changed to 13-14 nov.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
It's starting to sound as if Google have oversold their direct pre-orders (which would be a bit embarrassing) or perhaps there's been a manufacturing issue?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
What colour & storage variants are these?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Thrillofit:
P3XL - Case and Wireless
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickhammond121:
Mines a P3XL 128Gb in black with case
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
Has anyone had shipping notification from their carrier yet? In particular, Three?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I don't think anyone has had any shipping notifications from anywhere yet :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
nothing here yet, waiting from CPW and Google, so lets see
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I suspect progress will start over either over night tonight or tomorrow during the day.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Elicx:
Given that my 3 XL 64gb Not Pink is supposed to arrive by tomorrow I'd have hoped they start shipping this morning.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Yeah my money is on getting dispatch emails from 4pm onwards today, till around 7pm
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
It will more than likely start to ship this evening for tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
But hitting F5 on your order status page makes it happen quicker, right?

Hopefully those bizarre delivery date changes on Google direct orders will sort themselves out as orders start to flow through whoever's fulfilment system they are using - as a minimum everyone who ordered on launch day deserves to get their device on the release date!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
Just had notification that the John Lewis Added Care package I ordered alongside my phone has now been set up..... on previous orders that's always followed by dispatch later the same day....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Is that the extended 2 year warranty or did you have the optional insurance too?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
Added Care is the optional (extra cost) insurance. The two year warranty is on another line on the receipt.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Just checked my order status and got this "Your delivery was delayed. We're working to get it to you soon and will email you when it's on its way."
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Same here, FFS
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Ordered through google directly I take it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Yep

What's annoying is that if they didn't send the email bringing to forward I wouldn't be expecting it till next week, and then they wouldn't have gotten my hopes up
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wazka2:
What was your original delivery date? What variant did you order?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Every time google have a mess on their hands when they release a new phone with their supply chain, I wonder if this is only a problem with orders directly through google or if it affects carriers, other stores too.

Guess I will find out very soon!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Tell me about it, anyone remember the Nexus 4 fiasco? That was a carcrash of a release
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I remember that it was next to impossible to actually get hold of one, Nexus 5 was very easy to get hold of in comparison.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
5th - 6th November and i ordered the 64GB Just Black Pixel 3 XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Yeah same, I got stuck in limbo where people who ordered weeks after the launch date were first to get the phone, and people who ordered immediately just didn't get anything for weeks / months after the first batch went out

I'm sure they sacked off the distribution company because yeah the N5 ordering was painless
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Well here is hoping it's just a glitch with their ordering system and you'll be getting the phone before or on the 5th or 6th
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Yeah fingers crossed, since then I've ordered every Nexus / pixel phone every year from Google without issue

I think what might happen now is we get the phones on the 1st as that was CPW's prediction, so here's hoping for a tomorrow despatch
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
No updates here yet from Google or CPW
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
I used to work on developing and running fulfilment platforms. I doubt very much that Google are doing any of the fulfilment side themselves - that will be outsourced to whoever their delivery contract is with, or they will be using one of the specialist providers like Syncreon. Their systems will know what inventory they are expecting and where it's going, and will be passing data back to Google.

However Google's side of the deal - the customer-facing order tracking and so on - does seem to be almost too sensitive to stock movements. When you are able to bring people's orders forwards that's good news, but if you overdo the notifications across the board then it generates the sort of situation we see here. It might be well intentioned but it makes them look unprofessional and not in control.

Alternatively it could just be an almighty cluster**** in the making.....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
Is there a reason a lot of people have ordered directly from Google? Places like CPW will have stock on the release date in store. Am I missing something?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
While I can't speak for everyone, for me at least, I originally ordered with carphone warehouse but the day after I got an email from the Google store saying if I ordered from them I would get £75 store credit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
That's pretty decent! Hope the wait isn't too long!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wazka2:
In case of RMA Google will send you a replacement first so you are not left without handset, that is throughout full 24 months.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
Yeah the RMA process with Google is leagues ahead than cpw, that alone is worth the minor hassle (if it turns out to be minor!)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Knight77:
Same here in Italy (so you people in UK are not alone in this). Mine had as original delivery 7th-8th the last week it became 31st-2nd , yesterday they charged the Credit card and today I got what you got.

Right before that status I chatted with Google customer service, in few words has been a great waste of time... they just told me what I could see by myself and could provide any further information. Pathetic.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
Glad it's not just me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
My card has been charged by CPW, hopefully I receive some delivery info tomorrow
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] knowlesy:
EE still saying expected for tomorrow but it still hasnt dispatched yet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
no emails yet from CPW regarding delivery
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] l.m.prowse:
I received and email from cpw last night saying my order has been received and they hope to ship it out as soon as possible (past experience tells me either the same day or the day after) so I'm expecting a dispatch email this evening or later tonight (last year my 2xl dispatched at 11pm and arrived next day) I ordered this as soon as pre-orders went live 64gb black XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HamsterHam:
I am getting the 128GB Black Pixel 3 XL from O2 and expected delivery is tomorrow. I am collecting it in store so I don't think I get any updates until they receive it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
And that's the despatch email from Google! Coming tomorrow hopefully!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JackRoberts1998:
My Pixel 3 XL has been dispatched, UK Mail will be delivering it between tomorrow and Friday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mih3y:
anyone ordered from mobilephonesdirect? I got an email confirmation from them with order number, but i cant see order details on their website when i check my account.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Nothing from JL yet for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeparkie:
For me, Google's return policy and warranty are very good. Speedier than CPW IMO.

---------- Post added at 10:51 ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 ----------

Pixel XL3 64GB Just Black dispatched confirmation just rec'd @ 10:36. Should be here tomorrow. Ordered on 9/10. The wife P3 ordered at the same time is still showing delayed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
reading on from what the others are saying about RMA via CPW, have you had any experience with them?

I've always ordered from Google but this time I've gone with CPW for the early delivery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] l.m.prowse:
I've always ordered from CPW, never from Google, I prefer a physical location to go to if something goes wrong, however I've managed to get lucky every year and I've never had to, I mainly use CPW because they deliver to store so I can just swing by on my way home from work and get it, I haven't had to return a phone since my HTC One from Phones4u
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Ah, I remember them Phones4U ads, it was hilarious! :laugh:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrWolfman:
had my message from EE today phone delivery is delayed till 8-9 Nov, a little unhappy about that but hopefully many of the little issues will be resolved by then too :(

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markd66:
Just happened to be in my local high street and John Lewis, EE, CPW and Vodafone all have both Pixel 3 and 3 XL on display. My first chance to see one and hold it. It's everything I'd hoped it would be in terms of look and feel. The screen on the XL is spectacularly good. Made me even more excited for tomorrow now!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wookoouk:
I got the following message from CPW last night:

"Your Carphone Warehouse order is currently being processed and we'll be in touch once it is on its way to your chosen store. We aim to have your product shipped out as soon as possible."

but have not yet had any notice that the phone has been sent out.

ordered 10th October
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I had a look at the 3 XL last week and the notch although deeper is not much worse than my OP6, I think a lot of people are making a big deal about nothing really and roll on tomorrow!
