I ordered my phone on Thu 11/28 around 10pm, expecting shipment on 11/9. Earlier this week I heard about the weather delays just to my north (in Ft Worth TX), and I just received an email from Motorola (7:08pm CST Wed 2013-12-11). I'll paste it here:
Hi <my name>,
As you may have heard, large parts of the United States were hit by winter storm Dion, including our fulfillment center in Fort Worth, Texas. Our operations are still recovering from the storm’s impact while also trying to keep up with the incredible demand for Moto G.
For these reasons, your phone order wasn’t shipped when we originally estimated. We sincerely apologize for the delay and want you to know that your Moto G will ship by December 17th via a free upgrade to overnight delivery. (We’ll still send you a shipping confirmation with tracking number so you can see a more accurate delivery day/time.)
We know how excited you are to receive your phone, and we’re so grateful you chose Moto G. Thanks again for your purchase—and for your patience.
Sincerely,
The Moto Maker Team
P.S. - Some customers may see a charge of approximately $1.10 initially on their credit card statement. We’ll then charge the remaining balance once Moto G ships.
