128GB Google Pixel XL shipments delayed until December 26th by Verizon!

Yeah because 32 is the only other option. IMO a 64 GB version would've been the most popular if it was available.

Agreed.

This now becoming big dilemma like the note 7 replacements fiasco!!

I just wish it was consistent. I would hope those who ordered first get theirs first. If lbjames231 was able to order and get a quick ship date, all other preordered or previously ordered phones of equal items, should have been fulfilled first. I am not mad to have to wait, I would be flat out pissed if I was waiting for a pixel xl quiet black from either the play store or Fi and read this post. I also am ok with stores that have had the stock and since verizon has gone out of stock, as long as the stores are not receiving new stock before all our online orders are filled.

I am also ok with waiting if they are working on getting us new people an updated version, but that's a dream. I am ok with the same version but with the 7.1.1 or whatever other ota pushes.

I was also on the notification list for Fi and the Google Store for whenever they had the 128 GB Quite Black XL in stock. However, I also checked on their sites twice a day anyway. On the morning of Nov 21, Project Fi was out of stock. At 1 pm the same day SURPRISE! they had stock and I placed my order. My new Quite Black 128 GB Pixel XL arrived two days ago and I really am enjoying it. I never received a notification from either Project Fi or Google that new stock had arrived. Very glad I was persistent rather than relying on an email.

The Google Store is saying sold Out. On my phone and on my Computer! Add to waiting list!

You have to check periodically or sign up for the alerts on nowinstock.net

+1 on on nowinstock.net. If you really want this phone sooner rather than later, you should have signed up on nowinstock long ago. I got dumped onto the waiting list on the Google Store on 10/4, and found out about nowinstock a week later. Bam, on 10/14, it alerted me that the black 128GB XL was in stock. It was, I preordered, and I've had my phone for 3 weeks now.

Perhaps, but I would still have gotten the 128GB. Hell, I would have gotten a 256GB if it were available.

Just got notification from nowinstock, 32GB Silver XL ordered.

I agree cause even though I'm getting the benefit of getting a quick ship date I still feel like it's crazy that I order mines and get it 2 days later while ppl that ordered from Verizon that ordered way before me have to wait a lot longer

You guys remember my post from yesterday saying I was about to get my Pixel XL??? WELLLL, Verizon sent me the Pixel. I got it and was unboxing it and didn't notice until I actually picked it up, and I was like "huh this seems small". Then I looked at the box in disbelieve and saw that it just said "Pixel". I looked at my internet order and it does in fact say Pixel XL. I called them up and told them what had happened and they were able to look at all the stores within a 50 mile radius of me and none of the stores have the XL in stock. However, they did say they would "rush" me the correct XL and hopefully I will get it in about a week. So, I guess I'll post back and let you guys know what happens...After reading all your comments I was thinking how lucky I was, not so lucky at all. Oh well, all I can do is laugh about it. No use in getting all pissed off with the person on the phone, they didn't pack it.

Bummer...My son's Verizon upgrade date is December 4th for his Christmas present..looks like I might have to go with a 32 gb model XL for him if I plan on getting this under the Christmas tree.. I don't really understand, and I know Apple does the same thing. Google/HTC saw what happened with the pre-orders and most of us having to wait for over a month, why not ramp up production for the holidays? They are saying Google Pixel is making up 7-10% of Verizon smartphone share, imagine where it would be if they actually made the 128 gb model available for others? I wonder how many people wanted a 128 GB Pixel XL, saw that it was out of stock and just went with a Moto Z or Galaxy S7 Edge due to the in stock availability and promotions that went with them?

They aren't shipping my wife's 32GB XL until my 128GB is available bc of the Bogo. Maybe this well shake out with Google having them available every few hours Verizon may get some stock

 

[lbjames231]

Haha no need to shout I know you're frustrated with Verizon. I was going to get it through them as well but once I heard they weren't getting the XL until January, I looked for alternative methods.

Just an update on this...FedEx is showing my phone arrived in San Diego about 45 minutes ago. Looking forward to having it in my hands soon

Now looks like most Verizon 128 XLs postponed until 1/13. I ordered on 10/20 and it was supposed to ship on 11/18, then moved to 12/26, now 1/13. Unacceptable. Just going to keep checking the Google store and cancel Verizon. Got to wonder if they will ever have black 128 XLs to ship.

Looks like all the XLs are out of stock in the Google Store - Join Wait list
I ordered a Pixel 32 GB Silver - ships in 2 weeks - CSR said it will probably ship sooner - time will tell.

This is amazing to me. Many Verizon users have dropping calls and poor lte reception or poor tower hand offs with no fix in sight and VZW is still selling them faster than HTC can build em.

Hopefully the next update fixes this. It seems some are okay and some aren't.

The January date is for those who recently ordered the Pixel XL for Black Friday and recently.

My brother has the Pixel XL on Verizon and has no issues with dropped calls or weak signals here in NC. His only complaint is the sometimes halo affect. Other then that No issues!

Nope. I ordered way back on October 20th. My original ship date was November 18th, which never happened. Then it was moved to December 26th, and yesterday switched to January 13th. That will be almost 3 months if they can even keep that date. Unacceptable.

I have been waiting long and now I have the date of the December 26. Verizon is claiming that iPhone customers are going through the same thing with the order of the 7 Plus. Like that is suppose to make me feel better. If i do not get it by then I will cancel and hold on to my Note 7 until the S8 is released.
