Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Black XL here. I must be the only who does not really care for the Panda/Stormtrooper look!
 
Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

I ordered at 1:29 EST and got Oct 20 delivery. Odd thing though, my google cards in Inbox is showing shipped?

XL 64GB Black

Does anyone remember what Google uses to ship UPS or Fedex?
 
Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

It looks like those who ordered the Panda from Verizon are showing ship times earlier than those from Google. You think this is a case of Google being overly cautious and Verizon being overly optimistic? Or will Verizon customers really get them a week or more before Google customers?
Verizon customers will get them earlier. They're separate stocks. Google has their own and Verizon has their own. Considering canceling my Google order and going through Verizon instead.

Well that’s what the orders say now but it doesn’t make much sense why google can get them faster to Verizon than to customers who ordered directly.

My trade in for the Nexus 6 is $70. Seems like a good deal for a 3 year old phone.

Verizon has their own stock. So, let's say Google made 10 million pixels (this is just a made up number), Verizon got a percentage of those based on how many they thought they would sell. So let's say they got half of them. If Google sells their 5 million, they have to wait for more to be produced. They can't take them from Verizon stock. Hence, Verizon getting them out faster.

Ordered Black XL 128gb. Can you change the CC one used after the order is made? I choose the correct one, but my email shows my other CC that now is expired.
 
Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Ordered and confirmed.
All I have to do it to make sure Nexus 6 ($80 trade-in) is still OK when XL2 arrives.
I can see the charge on my CC already

Hey, All...

I’m gonna jump ship from Verizon 256GB IPhone 7+ and purchase a 128GB Unlocked Pixel 2 XL right from google. The iPhone was built beautifully and smooth As ever, but I’m ready to come back.

Regardless of if it is backordered or not, do they only charge upon shipping? I know that has varied in the past with holds, immediate charges, etc, so I’m just curious.

Thanks!!

Wanted the Panda 64 GB. Still do. But it's out of stock. Went with the black 64 GB. Delivery of October 24-25. Might still try and order the Panda and cancel the black. I'm trying to convince myself that the only difference is a white back and a red/orange power button. But sometimes you want what you want.

Went back and checked and was able to get a Panda 128Gb. Nov 28 delivery. I expect to get it sooner than that. Only because it was the case last year. 128 GB is a little more than I need but I'll take it. I'll probably check AGAIN to see if I can get a 64GB panda. If I can and it's not too far away I'll cancel my other orders.

I just ordered from Google last week and they didn't charge me until the day of shipping.

Was it on the Google store? It's showing the Panda still out of stock for me

Edit: Nevermind I see it's outof stock for the unlocked version but in stock for the Verizon one. Sad days.. I'm on ATT. Not sure if I really want to switch just to get it now

I wonder why you got $80 and I got $70 for my Nexus 6 trade in... Strange...
 
Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

I can't seem to get my order to go through with Verizon. Anyone else having problems?

Assuming you're using the app? It's app only until tomorrow.
