Anyone's phone shipping yet?

[ezdoit]

I wish mine shipped UPS.

FedEx has been way off their game lately - they combined with Google to form the worst sell/ship combo since the launch of the P6 - IMO

Was FedEx ever on their game?

Was FedEx ever on their game?

Not for years. I quit using them for ANYTHING around 5 years ago. They're the Hot Mess of shipping as far as I'm concerned.

And that's saying something because DHL used to hold that honor.

 

[blueyestm]

So Fedex finally updated their website. I don't see how this is going to get to me today if it left this morning. It's like 14-15 hrs from me.

Departed FedEx location


and nevermind the fact that it has been sitting at this location since 07DEC.

6P from Best Buy is on the UPS truck for delivery

Open box 6P was delivered - no box - charging block/cables were from a Samsung phone and there was no USB adapter.
Phone was returned to BB.

Drat! That's unfortunate. What kind of shape was the 6Pro in?

 

[gendo667]

Drat! That's unfortunate. What kind of shape was the 6Pro in?

Agreed. Did you power it on? It doesn't come with a charging brick anyway, or it's not supposed to. If it was in good shape I would've thought twice about sending it back. But that's just me.

Phone wouldn't turn on - battery dead.
Charged battery enough to get phone turned on and quickly decided I didn't want to take any chance with it - back it went.

Won't play with open boxes again.

Will try Google Fi one more time and see if they have corrected the situation that canceled my last few orders.

I'm beginning to think the Pixel Gods don't want me have a 6P.

ETA - Order confirmed from Google Fi - due here the 15th - if it makes it through the "cancel order" hurdle.
More than a purchase - an adventure.

Brick and cables were from a SAMSUNG phone.

Brick and cables were from a SAMSUNG phone.

Yeah, I read that the first time.

I don't blame you. I wouldn't trust it either. I'd want something factory sealed if I bought it new.

Lesson learned - no more open boxes.

 

[gendo667]

Lesson learned - no more open boxes.

I am curious which charging brick it was. I use Samsung's 25w brick with my Pixel 6. It's one of the recommended bricks. Works like a charm. I'm surprised you even received a brick at all.

No idea which brick it was - just knew it wasn't a Pixel. Charging the phone wasn't a concern - I've got a Pixel Stand and a brick or two from older Pixels.
The fact a Samsung item was included with a Pixel phone raised the "RETURN" flag for me - not willing to find out what, if anything, else might be not right.

 

[TraderGary]

Since you're on Google Fi, what kind of delivery projections do they make if you order through Fi?

Ordered 128GB Black through Fi - 12/15 delivery estimate - BUT - the last few orders through Fi were cancelled by them and Customer Service hasn't identified the issue.

FYI:
White Pro - 12/23/21
Sunny Pro - 1/6/22

I'd had the same issues with the p6p, decided to cancel and order the p6, took just under a week and showed up today.

 

[TraderGary]

I ordered my Pixel 6 Pro, 128GB, Stormy Black, Fi, from the Google Store on Oct 20 at about 4 PM.

FedEx delivered it on Nov 29. It was "out for delivery" all day and late that evening I got an email from FedEx saying there were delivery problems and it would be delivered the next day.

We have a rural acreage, and my wife noticed the flag was up on our mailbox at the end of our lane. We went to the mailbox and there in the mailbox was my P6Pro. Who knows how long it had had been there? FedEx has absolutely no handle on what they are doing.

Anyway, I finally have my Pixel 6 Pro snugly in my black Bellroy leather case and I'm absolutely loving it. I've had no issues or problems whatsoever.

Black Bellroy case is due here today - delayed from yesterday - latest Google Fi order has a 128 GB black 6P arriving on the 15th - I can only Pray!

I think the Pixel Patience Gods are punishing me for a few order/cancel deals at launch as I aimed for the shortest wait time possible - seems they came up with their own order canceling deals

IF I end up with a 6P - I'm putting it in the Bellroy case and placing it under my pillow for safe keeping.

I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again
I will never cancel a Pixel order again

Still waiting on my 6P. I knew Fedex wasn't going to make that drive down here in a day, should've never expected anything otherwise. I put in an exception now to send it to Walgreen's dropoff so I don't have to babysit the tracking and leave early from work. It's still enroute....
