OH MY!!!!!
After waiting a month to replace my NOTE 7 and being reassured my order would ship. My pixel xl 128 black from Verizon is now showing an expected ship date of 12-26.
Hang tight little buddy. We (VERIZON) have been lying to you for several weeks but a short 5 weeks from now we will send you a new phone.
F&(% VERIZON
LYING A$$HOLES
Just tell me the truth. I can handle it!!!!@
Can you handle this?
I am done with you and your lies. Time to try a new provider - and maybe an in stock V20
The phone and online support is just like with Huawei last year. No one really knows the real ship date. They don't know more than we do since they are likely looking at a computer monitor that has the same data we look at. With huawei the support was outsourced so they really knew nothing. Then shipping with them depended on what phones were shipped to the region. If they happen to ship the Nexus 6P 64gb silver to South distribution center and their region had orders, then those shipped even if an order from the east was placed weeks before. Thus causing the rule "first in first out" to go out the window.
Basically logistics of distribution on a grand scale is an issue that Google is not good at. That's the root cause for the disparity in first in first out. As far as why there is a shortage in the first place, Google doesn't have a handle on supply chain and Manufacturing with HTC for this years demand. Not even last years demand was handled well with the Nexus. Again Hardware distribution is something Google Needs to focus on. Making a good product with lots of marketing isn't enough. You have to deliver it or some users will go elsewhere.
Despite supply chain issues, carrier issues, carrier support's lack of meaningful data, I'd rather wait for the phone than settle with another device.
Having said that, I hate waiting. VERIZON! Ship my damn phone!
