Essential Order and Shipping Thread

[firebirder]

I noted on their site when you go to the shop page, the phone page says "We will notify you when your for reservation product(s) is ready to ship. " At least there's no more timeline. That being said, hopefully you guys get your phones soon and review them. At this point I suspect I'll wait to compare to an official Pixel XL 2 and make a decision from there. One thing is for sure, if I order an essential, it'll be through Amazon, not Essential themselves.

PS - For those of you refusing the shipment and sending it back for a refund, good luck. Based on the experiences most of written about so far, I wouldn't hold my breath for that to go correctly.

Andy Rubin needs to get on a plane fly over to China and get these phones out himself. I cannot believe there are still people on the 16th that have not gotten their shipping info. Had mine for two days and the phone is still seating in China, supposed to be here Friday.

I'm gonna keep it and play with it until my Note 8 gets here. Then it's probably going back...or into a drawer.

This is what my tracking has been showing since Monday. Weird? Or normal for Fed Ex?

Sprint has been delayed till 9/8. Mine still shows shipping by 8/31 but their support chat says that it still will not ship till next week at the earliest. I pre-ordered the morning of the 17th.

Me too, I'm cancelling my order. I'm out, this whole thing is a cluster****.

I have no interest in Lifelock. I'd rather a credit back for the same amount of money (while reserving my rights to seek whatever compensation I choose).

Sounds like you're getting a free phone as well. Congrats.

I wonder if it'll be on time?

Wheels down in 35 minutes.

Customs should already be clear so it'll hop on another bird or truck and be on the way. Probably not via the F16 in your avatar, though.

I'm not one of them affected thank god...but glad they are doing that for the affected customers.

Those who haven't got shipments may be you get a response soon?

 

[PhiPsi32]

Well, I really don't know what to think . . . am I getting the phone or not? Dunno . . . may not know for weeks . . .

Mine has shown that same thing since Saturday. I called FedEx to see if there was a problem on their end and they said whatever the problem is, it's 100% on Essential. The problem with that is that no one can get ahold of Essential to find out what's going on.
