Any buds available?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] khmervision:
My delivery date changed from Nov 11-12 to Nov 19-20 and now it says October 28-29 here's to hoping it stays
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LucentPhoenix:
At the time of ordering it said there were. I haven't received any email about those, though.

Delivery is Oct 26-27, supposedly.

If it matters, I ordered through Fi, not the main Google store...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jfbaudio:
Ah yes I imagine there are special inventory allocations for Fi. I'm ordering through the Canadian store so we're getting even less choice, no 512GB models for instance. And buds ran out before the R013 error messages were fixed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LucentPhoenix:
There were no 512 models for me either. Are there any available at all yet?

The 256 was also only available in black.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Samurai Big Ed:
My black pro 128 changed from 12/14-15 to 10/28-29!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vwood2121:
I refreshed two laptops and my phone until the pre-order link appeared. As soon as it appeared I added the black 6 pro 512 GB plus charger and the 199 protection plan. Went to check out and it crashed error after error. I refresh probably every 3 seconds for nearly 2 hours before getting my heart to go through to check out only to see that it says in place of the phone that item was removed from cart and out of stock. I think it is complete BS and Google needs to honor my purchase. It's not my fault Google can't keep up with their servers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] boober78:
Jeysuss. You know how grammar works? What a pathetic company, and yet, you still buy their product and use their software...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johnmac1952:
After constant refreshing and cache clearing I was finally able to order the Pixel 6 Pro, Black. Got 405$ for my Pixel 5. Delivery date 27-28 October. Can't wait!!!!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johnmac1952:
I had the similar delivery dates. Happy that it is coming earlier!!!!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Easy there "Rocket" Dear Mr. Grammar As I mention in my statement "I have $395 in credit" I need to burn. I'm not going to let them keep my money. Second I have many products that In use and I mention Sammy and Apple and Oneplus as well. So before your statement makes me wanna Pee In My Cheerios before breakfast again I need to burn the $395 So I will Burn them in the process. Oh and just for ****s and Giggles I checked with my credit card company and my return period supersedes what they do so too bad for Google. I'm gonna go up in their Guts like a Proctologist with bad depth perception.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mrro82:
Changed my original order of Stormy 128 to Cloudy 256. That wasn't fun. Proceeded to get my orders cancelled at least 7 times before I got one to stick last night. December 1-2 now. We'll see it that holds.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Says value of $139 Canadian. You have to add it to the order separately, records as a $139 item, and records the P6 at discounted rate.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KirkH420:
Did Google ever fix the "Wrong remanufactured devices being sent to fill warranty claims" problem?

When I had an unlocked bootloader variant Pixel 2, it broke within a few months of use.

Google's standard operating procedure for this is to replace your brand new device with a remanufactured one.

They couldn't even get that right!

The reman plant that they were using, was not separating the different versions of the devices and they were basically sideloading 1 OEM rom.... the Locked bootloader version (aka the Verizon variant). Google sold the Unlocked Bootloader variant on their webstore only. Devices found at Bestbuy and Verizon were locked bootloaders.

They sent me 5 incorrect phones, which I might add, caused me to spend a great deal of time using my bust-ass backup device (LG v20). I like rooting my devices and Google allows for that...... but YOU try telling that to a stupid idiot phone rep! They'll tell you it's against the law. It was such a bad experience that I don't think I'll bother with pixels any more. Their phone representatives are not knowledgeable about Tech, I would find myself telling THEM how the devices worked more often than not. But beyond that, the entire process speaks to how Google cares about customers. We aren't customers, were what they mine data from. We're a commodity.

Besides,

When I finally convinced them to refund my purchase price, I moved to OnePlus and got a 7Pro.

That was over 2 years ago and I STILL cannot be more happy with this phone!!!!

I've never had a device that I loved for this long of time. It's still blazing fast and gets better radio reception (calls/bluetooth/wifi) than any of my previous devices ever did.

Anyway, I just thought I'd tell my story in case anyone wants to know how Google handles customer service problems. Before they order one of their garbage devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] POMATu:
they cancelled my order "because it doesn’t align with our Sales Terms"

ordered and charged on the 19th but never got invoice and i doesn't show in Google orders but it shows in my bank?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
You need to give Google a call. Your order is messed up.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Fuzi0719:
I had absolutely no problem ordering. I placed two seperate orders, one for my 6 Pro, then later in the day for my husband's 6. Website functioned perfectly, even used the $50 store credit I had when ordering the 6 Pro. Maybe I have better karma. ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Amazing, your Karma alone has you walking on water as if you are a Deity. I am shocked and amazed. As For those of us looking for the 512gb model *Unlocked, things are just a bit different. Yet I hale and Salute your greatness all the same. Please feel free to pass on your blessings to we underlings that are not worthy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
If wiseguyy is referring to the launch window where pre-orders were first available, he is right. The launch was a mess. It took me also 2 1/2 hours to get my order through, after about 5 times that the site crashed, deleted my shopping cart or gave me numerous errors. It now works, yes, but not at the time when Google had it's launch event. Google messed up, big time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Well thanks to the Blessings from the Deity you said a prayer for me I was able to place the Order for what *I Need* the 512gb version Black of course. Wait for it....I see the estimated ship date in January 27 2022. "Holy S*#t" I am afraid once again Google has Crapped in my face simply by trying to get the device they decide to Launch with a BS stock allotment. I mean honestly January 27-31 2022??

I need some help here from my fellow XDA'ers would you wait till The End of January 2022 to get a Device that Launched on October 19th, 2021?? Please I need some responses of what your thoughts are here>?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
I would wait a bit my ship date has changed 3 times already
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Honestly? I think that the super huge storage is really more about bragging rights than an actual need. Phones are an incredibly inconvenient place for storing large amounts of data. They're vulnerable to being lost/stolen/damaged, and the process of copying data from them can be complicated, even if you have root. Consequently, its really important to keep data synchronized from the phone to somewhere else on an ongoing basis. If that's done, just occasionally delete the old crap from the phone.

Initially, I was thinking about going with 512GB, but.... (1) They only offered up to 256GB here in Canada, and (2) I realized that there really was no justification even for the extra $100 given that it really wouldn't be useful.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gordietm:
I ordered my 6 Pro 128 gb Stormy Black on Oct. 19th and it's scheduled to be delivered on Oct. 27-28. When will it most likely be dispatched?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jayr04:
I suspect tracking numbers will be provided Sunday night or Monday morning
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Probably set to dispatch on the 26th. My wireless ear aches were sent overnight by UPS and I had them on the morning of the 20th.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Honestly, No. 1. You're wrong. Bragging rights?? To what? That makes no sense at all. You're going to tell me in a casual conversation with a friend or in a group of friends and someone mentions "Oh cool I see you have the new Pixel 6 Pro" You're actually gonna spit out "Yea, and I didn't go the Poor Man's route and get the 128gb model, I stepped Up To The Plate for 512gb" I think you may be missing the point, when you consider for a measly $99 to double the storage capacity from 256gb to 512gb "It's A No Brainer". You may be asking why? because come the day your gonna flip it to get out of it (Sell It on Swappa) you maximize the selling price to the buyer. *That's The Point** Since there will be far fewer of the 512gb version available at any given time online that in and of itself drives the price much higher. (Supply and Demand Dictates Price) Let's also mention that online consumer storage is the name of the $$ money Game. Ill stick with Free storage and keep my usage down to pay $0.00 extra. "Never Trip Over Gold Looking For Pennies".

As for why I can make these statements I speak from experience (Wiseguyy@XDA QVY711)

As for my phone order, the Delivery date has stayed the same January 27, 2022. Now that is some Amazing ****!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Atmazzz:
My buds delivery has been moved up to tomorrow. My phone delivery has moved back to Oct. 29-30. :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
Ordered mine last night and got credit check

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Fuzi0719:
I ordered within a couple of hours of the launch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Fuzi0719:
You must have some really 💩 karma 🤔 Both of my phones are still showing Oct 28-29 as received-by dates. I received both Buds yesterday.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Atmazzz:
And now the phone is back to 28-29. Stop toying with me Google! :cautious:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a screen issue with my original Pixel XL and didn't have any complaints with the replacement process. However, the first thing I did when I got my replacement device was unlock the bootloader and transfer everything over.

I too would've been livid if I'd been in your situation, and many people, including phone reps, don't understand that being sim unlockable and bootloader unlockable are not the same thing. To be fair, most people can get by just fine not knowing the difference.

Glad you're not in jail for your illegal acts.....

I got the 512 GB version, since I like having lots of space, but your post reminded me of another potential positive.

As far as I know, the only way to get the 512 version is unlocked via the Google store. If my device fails and needs to be exchanged, I assume there is a high probability that it'll be replaced by another 512 GB unlocked variant......unless Google goes to the trouble of taking their Verizon refurbs, opening them up, swapping memory chips etc....

Again,, thanks for the good read. If unlocking my bootloader sends me to the chain gang at San Quentin, I'll take the risk....and promptly make sure my "bootloader" stays locked until my parole goes through.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
News flash Mr. I tell the world about the devices I have and use:

Phone: Google Pixel 4 (Google Fi)

ROM: OTA

Tablet: Nexus 7 (2013)

ROM: Official LineageOS 18.1

Seems a bit Narrcisistic to me, I mean really who gives Flyin Fu** what you have and use. I guess you have some deep inert feelings of inadequacy that you feel the need to display the products you use to help you solidify your self-worth But aside from that, I'll get one device on the 27th or the 28th So HAND.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] derekdauzat:
i ordered on the 19th & it was charged to my bank.. but wasn't showing in my Google orders.. so i afraid to make another pre order and get charged twice.. so i stuck it out and today i see the charge is gone from my bank.. and never got a call or email from Google!!!!!

i tried to call on 19th and all day on 20th with them putting me on wait for hour each time never got to a solution!! they said id get an email never did.. ( & today no email.. no call!!)

((my order is gone!!)) no heads up!!... SoOo i made another order few minutes ago and.... eta January 20th ish.. 2022!!!! 🤬🤬🤯⚰️ its their F-up and im the one to suffer!! i mean its GOOGLE!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Bank pre-authorizations happen all the time. It's just a hold but should drop off in 48hrs during business days M-F. Don't freak out brother not going to take your money.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
PS, you're always better off using a major credit card this way if they try to play stupid games or something happens with an order you can always go to your credit card company and Dispute the charge and get your money back immediately from your credit card company. The credit card company will fight it out with the merchant service company.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Right now I have two items ordered a 512 gig and a 256 gig one shows to be received by October 27th or 28th so it had better ship today from what I understand Google ships products out of a Chicago location. The other order is slated from November 3-5. But we will see how it all plays out. I'm gonna flip one on Swappa for some extra cabbage.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Is that 512 gig a Pro? I haven't' been able to find any anywhere.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Unfortunately, the Pro is the only one available in a 512 GB model. They limited the non-Pro 6 to 128 GB and 256 GB, otherwise, I would've considered the non-Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
I understand that. My point being I haven't been able to find a Pro with 512GB anywhere.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
On 10/20, I purchased a Pixel 6 P:ro unlocked 256 GB from the Google Store. I would have preferred the 512GB version but they don't have any. My shipment date for the phone is 12/23-28.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Yep sux but you're definitely not alone! Cheers
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Feel free to waste your money on something that really shouldn't be necessary. Its very costly to lose 500 GB of data. Not nearly so for 100.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Like I said I will feel free to take advantage of higher resale value. Since I've ordered two devices maybe I'll just flip one for $300 extra. I see people clamoring for the divice you didn't buy and that's a good thing. For me it's all about the law of supply (and there ain't none) and Demand** Tons' of Need in the market !! You don't do business in my world so best you stay clear of it your a little too closed minded but that's all good. I served 20 years for your right to choose. HAND 👌
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Well my date is 10/27-10/28 and Nothing has been charged or shipped. So I got a pretty good feeling my dates are BS because Google doesn't do FedEx Overnight. No hit on my CC means nothing is or has happened.....yet :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Update:

TFI International buys UPS Freight for $800 million, rebranding as “TForce Freight”​

UPS is selling its UPS Freight less-than-truckload (LTL) unit to TFI International Inc., a Canadian holding company that is parent to truckload giant CFI and other transport entities, for $800 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The company will rebrand as “TForce Freight” under Canadian ownership.​

I posted this because my order was marked as shipped and I got a weird tracking number I have never seen before by a shipper I have never seen before. It's supposed to be delivered today. This is the first instance UPS tracking has been moved to TForce. Interesting considering three weeks ago UPS delivers a package to my home. So it seems the Corporate transition from UPS LTL is moving quickly. (LTL) = Less Than Truck Load which is to say UPS's name is being phased out so don't be surprised if the new kid on the block will be delivering your Google Pixel Device. P.S. the tracking is really crappy and does not have the usual UPS complete details as to the package transitions from city to city or place to place. The tracking is still very much rudimentary in the sense it's like a truckload moving not a package.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Yes a Pro, it's not an option in the 6 :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chistery:
My 6 Pro arrives within the next hour :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Just know TForce might be your shipper so know that they're tracking blows.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wiseguyy:
Who's the shipping carrier? If I may ask? UPS? Or the new TForce?
