Same here just checked and 2 pending orders for the 9th and 16th hopefully we will get it by end of week ordered clearly white 64gb
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPhoenix:
Just got the confirmation from Google. Delivery date of 10/18-10/19.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] osetivo:
Ordered: October 09, 2018, 10:57 AM - 3XL Black Expedited

Interestingly, I have a pending CREDIT of $953.95 dated today. It really does not appear to be a reversal of the original authorization charge. It has to be right? Yet I no longer see the original authorization or reveral of the OG approval. Free Google Money? Hell no! Most likely a problem with my order: Every damn year!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Soooo, I just chatted with a Google rep about this. Now, take this with a grain of salt because we all know some of their reps don't know jack sheet. And to be honest, this one seemed like possibly one of those. Anyway, she said that you have to meet certain criteria to get the credit. She also said that if you have not gotten the email, you don't qualify... I haven't. I don't know what this criteria is, but WTF? How is my pre-order different than anyone else's? Ordered immediately once you could. I'm hoping she was full of it, but, if not, I'm a little pissed at that... I pre-order, and I am not eligible for the pre-order gift, but tons of others are?

Also, if you did not get an email for it, contact Google. Maybe you'll get a better answer than me. The rep I spoke with also said she would forward my problem to the promotions team (IF she actually did). She said sometimes they actually make changes if enough people are upset/whatever about something.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kmoney059:
Same... I'm on the east coast wonder if that's why... Maybe ours will be on the FedEx plane that usually doesn't leave until 11pm

People with November ship dates getting their emails before me whose date is October 18-19?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wwevoxnj:
I was told that all you have to do to qualify is to preorder a pixel 3/xl and subscribe to the Google store emails. I would contact Google to receive the credit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
same here
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPhoenix:
When I called about the credit a couple of days ago the lady I spoke with told me that they were being sent out in batches and said that I would get one just give it time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yankeesfan714:
It's like ordering your food at a restaurant and seeing people who ordered after you get their food first.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
more so cuz i paid them to speed my meal up. lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Yeah, I AM subscribed to the Google emails. Although, I did not get one this time for the new products. Weird. I checked and I'm good though. I guess we'll see.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
I ordered my 3 XL Just Black 64GB (Unlocked) on 10/15 from Google. I know I'm at the end of the line as most here ordered well before me. Mine is supposed to ship by 10/22 and arrive around the 23rd - 24th. Would be nice if it's earlier. :)

For those posting that they got shipping notices, can you also mention when you ordered? I saw someone earlier with the same delivery date as mine is now getting theirs by the 19th. Thanks! ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drwx:
3lb for 2 pixel 3 XLs
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] One3OneKing:
FYI If you haven't gotten your tracking number, head to Fedex's website and track by reference. Enter you order number as the reference number and the other requested info there. You'll find your shipment. Google must be slow to sending out tracking numbers as mine showed up that way but I did not receive an email nor does it show as being shipped on the Google Store.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pichogve:
Update #2: received second notification from FedEx for a second package (weight 2 Lbs), first package had a weight of 1 Lb. I believe the first package is the Pixel Stand, and the second package is the actual phone. Both packages were shipped from CAROL STREAM, IL, and both packages show my Google order number. Both show status as 'Picked Up' and scheduled delivery for 10/17.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
nothing from google yet, however my label has updated and says picked up! i have not been charged again either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smilingfish:
Same here. I expect mine to update soon. My Pixel Stand, a separate order, updated a couple of hours after being picked up.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
You guys are in better shape than I was with the Pixel 2 last year. I ordered a couple of days after the launch and I had a late Nov delivery date. Looks like they got it together this year.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jblack41510:
My 128 white XL and stand is shipping from Carol Stream. I live 20 miles from Google in CA.

Got label from FedEx and it's already showing movement on the tracking. Delivery tomorrow. Still no shipping email from Google. Got the $50 promotion email already
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TehKing:
I don't know if you've ever pre-ordered a phone before, but it's been my experience (I've pre-ordered more than a dozen phones) to never pay for the fastest shipping; You end up getting it at the same time as those who didn't.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] themikeyan:
They ditched ontrac for socal peeps! Looks like I got delivery confirmation for tomorrow, white pixel 3 128gb. Ordered during the presentation. Light years better than the pixel 2 launch so far
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
My phone shipped as well. Estimated delivery 10/18 - 10/19.

My Spigen case is already here but now I'm hoping my tempered glass protector arrives before the phone, or same day.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
Don't really understand why I'm so far behind everyone else, even others who ordered via VZW after I did.

I ordered from Verizon right after the keynote - originally said deliver by 10/18, now it's 10/26.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
How’d you manage to get the $50 credit?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rgbc:
I think the credit is for folks that signed up for Pixel 3 email notification, I received the $50 credit email sent to US customers but Google support confirmed that in Canada it's $75CAD

From the email:

Exclusive to you, get $75 to spend on Google Store,

and a Pixel Stand on us when you pre-order Pixel 3
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yankeesfan714:
I'm getting nervous now. I ordered super early the day of. Got delivery date of October 18-19. Haven't got a shipping email yet. But people with November delivery dates have? What is going on? Is it because I'm in southern California and they can get it here fast so I don't need an email until tomorrow?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blcklab:
Sick. Checked FedEx with my purchase number and it's finally showing up for delivery tomorrow. Coming from Ingram Micro in Mira Loma (big fulfillment center corridor) to San Diego.

Hope it comes before the System of a Down Concert ??

P.S. Black 64 GB 3 XL. ordered about an hour after the launch webcast

P.S.S. after checking FedEx, Google email and Amex charge followed in short order
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
I did that but never got an email.. that’s unfortunate
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mech8:
damn i want a free pixel stand all we get is $50 in store credit

did you check with fedex to see if you even have a label?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RickCain:
Ordered this weekend and got shipping notification this afternoon :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] themikeyan:

Now tracking a single FedEx Next day label, picked up in Onterio Ca. Delivery expected to NorCal 10/17 by 8pm.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lensgrabber:
Ordered a black 128 XL on 10/13 with an expected delivery of 24-26 and just got a shipping notice. Should be here either on the 18 or 19th. Much faster than expected.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjegan2008:
So do I have a story for you guys......so I decided to call Google and see if they had printed out my shipping label. I had a very nice conversation with the Google representative over the phone for about 30 minutes just chit chatting about the history of the Google lineup, and how I was a fan since the Nexus days. He couldn't find a tracking number, and I was about to end the call. He asked me if I had anymore questions, and I asked would it be possible to email the warehouse and see if I could have my device shipped out on the next shipment. He said he could email them, but there was a 50/50 chance, and not to set my expectations to high. I said okay that's better than nothing. He said he would chat with them, and personally keep on eye out for it. I said cool. He said to check my email periodically because the tracking information would be updated in real time. I said okay. I did the customer service survey they always ask for at the end of the call, and as soon as I was transferred, I got an email saying my device was shipped, tracking number and all. And the best part was I wasn't supposed to get my device until the 23rd or 24th. And I will get mine on Thursday ! Yay !!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bemagrp:
Mine shipped today, pixel 3 xl black 128 GB, stand and case. For delivery tomorrow. FedEx always deliver before 11am. Hooray!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalundertaker:
Just received the email, coming from CA to PR arriving tomorrow, they are sending it priority for free. I selected standard shipping. ???
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
I'm somewhat annoyed. I placed my order via Verizon B2B as soon as the preorders went live. My order shows "complete." No sign of tracking. My email says delivery by 10/18. I can't check in FedEx Delivery Manager because it's being delivered to a business. Also, no luck tracking by reference number.

Anyone else seeing the same thing that I am?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pokerpua:
I placed my order Oct 9 for the Pixel 3XL 128gb black around 11pm CDT. I initially tried to pay the $19 expedited shipping but it forced me take the free shipping as my only choice after it had my address. Oct 19 ship date, 22-23 delivery.

I guess I'm lucky to live 15-20 mins from Carol Stream. It shows as shipped Oct 16 for Oct 17 delivery.

I'm happy as I'm in desperate need of a phone. My 3 year old Nexus 6 (I bought it new a year afyer release) bootlooped Oct 6.

I ordered an Evo Check case on Oct 11, also from the Google store. My two shipping options were free Oct 23-25 delivery or $7.99 for Oct 18-19 delivery. I'm going out of town Oct 22 evening so I opted for the faster shipping for the chance of it arriving before my trip.

I thought it might be shipping from a different warehouse as it didn't default me to free shipping like it did when I ordered the phone. I guess I wasted $8 as it showed as shipping from Carol Stream Oct 16 with an Oct 17 delivery.

I wonder why it let me waste money on the case but only had one option for the phone for free shipping. The items shipped seperately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
I am in SD and I got a shipping notice. They ship it from Riverside area and it will arrive tomorrow. Had a delivery date 18/19

Mine says the same thing. Here's what I found on the FedEx site:

Direct Signature Required: FedEx obtains a signature from someone at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, we reattempt delivery.

Google has delivered phones to my address over the past 3 years with no signature required. Now this.....

I ordered my 3 XL and the Otterbox case on the 14th. It originally showed the delivery date as 17 - 18 for the case and 24 - 25 for the phone. On Monday it showed the case as shipped. Today it shows the phone shipped. Using the tracking, it shows both on the local truck for delivery today to my work. I guess my day just got a bit more exciting.

does anyone know if the pill can be disabled and have swipe gestures enabled like the pixel 2

I really like taking advantage of the screen real estate and I read Google are sticking with the nav pill

coming from one plus the swipe gestures have grown on me.

I know you can disable the navigation bar on the pixel 2 and install swipe gestures and that worked good
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
Mine's out for delivery. :victory:

(XL 128 Black | 10/9 10:55 CST | Standard shipping)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
Last I heard it was the opposite, the only option with the Pixel 3 is to use gestures. The demo in Best Buy had no options for the pill buttons and other articles I read said gestures was the only way to navigate. Will know for sure later when I have the phone in my hands. :)

On this note, I imagine we should see factory images some time today.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I ordered mine late on 10/13/18 from the Google Store. I'm in San Diego and the tracking show it is out for delivery on 10/17/18. Don't pay for expedite shipping as the phone ships from MIRA LOMA, CA (per the FedEx tracking) if you are near San Diego . I'm hoping this saves someone a few bucks.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
Delivered. No signature required for me. Didn't give that option and they didn't force it. Called VZW and will need a new SIM so picking that up in a bit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firepong:
Got my shipping update last night around 11pm EST. Got the out for delivery message this morning around 8 and delivered at 9:13. No signature delivery. Sadly, not home atm, so can't mess with the phone.

Can't wait to get off work and download Nacho Notch to see if it works with the Pixel 3 XL and its larger than need be notch. Just want it to be less conspicuous.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
My pixel got delivered today but I can't play with it because I'm at work. Sucks knowing it's there but I'm here. Hehe. Feel like a kid. The stand came with it also but it was originally supposed to be delivered on the 30th. That was a nice surprise.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBobMiller:
I've had mine for 2 hours and it really is great! Very smooth and fast!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xzirus:
Do you mind if I ask why you needed a new sim? I have a 6P on Verizon i'm upgrading from and have been wondering if i'll need to go see VZW to get a new Sim or if the one i have will work. Just curious...

Thanks if your willing to share.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blcklab:
Same in North County

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

T-Mobile customer here. Any reason to use a brand new sim or just pop the one out of my 2 XL?

in my last four phones I don't think I've ever used a new sim but since I have a clean one in the drawer I thought I would ask here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bubba:
Unlock the bootloader yet?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
Good question. Do we still use the same commands, including "...critical"?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bubba:
That's precisely why I asked lol. I was hoping you would tell me. Mine just arrived. Going to try and do some research on that I guess.

Right, and I've been watching for the factory images (possibly 1:00) but as a friend pointed out, technically release day is tomorrow.

No need to unless you're having SIM related issues, or just want a squeaky clean, 100% unused device.

I knew they would fix that little free money oops! The $953.95 credit was reversed and I was then charged the $953.95. But the good news is that it's on the truck for delivery today.

So this will go down as the smoothest launch day order so far. yay!! <eyeroll>
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
My order originally stated delivery Oct 23- 24. Received notification last night that it will be delivered today instead. Can't wait! Hopefully no issues like before. Sucks that Diztronic hasn't released a case for the 3 XL yet. They are usually my go to case. Looking for a nice simple matte case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkStinger:
Turns out you don't. Verizon is clueless and they are the reason I bought this from Google to begin with. Every time I talk/chat with them I get a different answer. Earlier I asked them via chat if I needed a new SIM. They said yes. I then asked if I could pick one up without the phone (I thought that would not be possible). They again said yes, no problem. Went to a store and not only do they think the current SIM in my Pixel XL (2016) will work but they said they'd need the new phone to activate a new SIM. I still have a few hours before I'm home to swap the SIM between my two phones but I believe the store over VZW customer service any day.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coolhandz:
What method are you referring to? I was going to pick my 3 up tomorrow and attempt using this method.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
I don't believe so. I haven't had to change my sim card for a few phones. Same one.
