Given the huge demand and sorting the Bullsh** charges that people tried to order this phone half a dozen times, I would not be surprised to see this actually shipping out even on a Friday. The thing is a lot of people have an assumption of credit card ordering like it's all robotic Hollywood style. The moment someone places an order, there's as little as a couple to half a dozen people handling your order - and they are handling tens of thousands of orders not just one order. That 3-5 business day that Google stated, is not a promise. What if there was a huge earthquake, hurricane, or invading Aliens? Should Google keep their promise?
There's a human being who makes sure your credit card pending charge has enough funds before actually charging, before they even charge they send out an order to the warehouse to ensure there is stock, Once there is stock it is tagged by another person who then sends out another message to the person who then charges you. After it gets charged of course then another message goes to maybe 2 other people to prepare your phone to ship out. Then of course there is another several humans handling your package before it reaches your destination.
People assume that everything is robotic and fluidic without taking the human equation, weather, gas, etc. I know this because I work in a field where I oversee all these processes and at first I thought it was too bureaucratic, but it has to be done this way because if you take one element out of that bureaucracy things get slow or missing and hazards happen. And you have to have multiple delegates to work these processes because while on the outside or the unknown, one person trying to do everything all at once.
A thing to think about some of these whiners or complainers, I bet they treat waiters/sales persons like cattle, nobodies.
