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

[Almeuit]

Now question this was answered somewhere lol but on phone hard to find does it come with all the bloat from Verizon? Or is more like apple and does not really allow anything ?

It came with 2 apps for me. Both I could uninstall.

ok then definitely worth it I miss my awesome Verizon service

Got the charge from Verizon today on my Panda. Just need to see a tracking number and I will be content. Was supposed to ship in the 1st.

I ordered the same phone on the 17th and was given a ship date of Oct 30 and arrival date of Nov 1-2. My phone shipped yesterday and will [theoretically] arrive on Monday. There are a couple of us that purchased on this date that got earlier shipments. So maybe yours will ship out a couple of days early as well.

––Knocking on wood right now.

Thanks, was kinda hoping for an earlier ship/arrival date. Fingers crossed

I also got charged tonight by Verizon for my 128GB Panda XL! I ordered on 10/4 and had an expected 11/1 ship date. I'm so excited!!! I've had an iPhone since the 3S. My husband is a software engineer and longtime android user, always encouraging me to make the switch. He's a first-gen pixel XL owner since release and his user experience sold me. That camera, though! I always ended up taking pics using his phone vs. my 6S plus. Haha! I don't have a tracking # yet, so I'll keep checking.

ordered on oct 5th pixel 2 xl 64g black unlocked. Says will ship on oct 25th. no movement, still able to cancel, no cc charge yet. customer service is beating around the bush

Finally shipping. Arriving texas on 10/31. 2 day shipping with tracking sent today.

Well that sucks. My 2XL shipped today, you know before I could cancel it. I flashed my Nexus 6p with Oreo and it's working great again, no need to add $1k in debt for a device that still has issues that are yet to be resolved or might not be resolved at all. Guess I'll just have to refuse delivery.

Man I can't wait until all you guys get your Pixels. We need to get the ball rolling like sharing pics, home screens, experiences and more. Had mine for a week. This phone flies.....oh and that camera!

Mine arrived today despite fedex tracking claiming it had gone back to the warehouse. As far as the phone goes, it's pretty amazing. I do see the 'blue tint' but as the phone has been on I've either gotten used to it, or it's faded over the past few hours (and honestly, it was only really noticable when the phone was sitting on the table next to me). As far as the color saturation, I honestly don't see much difference from my 6p. The phone came with 'vivid colors' active, and I actually thought it was way too much so I turned it off.

I hope everyone gets theirs soon!

Hopefully this is a sign of a panda sighting, checked my order status today and it shows processing. It was supposed to ship on Nov 1 but maybe I'll get it by Nov 1.

Glad you're loving your phone! I think there is a pic sharing thread already started.

How are you liking your Incipio Carnaby case so far? Is the inner layer TPU or silicone, like some older Dual Pros?

I'm very frustrated at the moment. My phone is hanging out at a FedEx depot 15 minutes from my house but Google is preventing me from picking it up. --I normally work on weekends, but not this one so I have lots of time to get it set up. But nooo.

FedEx says I'm allowed to do a "location hold," but not a "hold at location" for pick up. Seems a little silly that Google allows them to leave electronics costing almost $1000 at your doorstep without signature but disallows you to pick it up with a signature and photo ID. Just saying . . .

Drive to the FedEx place, take some cash.....it has worked for me in the past....like I was gonna wait over the New Year's Holiday weekend for a phone...

The case is TPU. I'm loving it so far. I would have purchased the Google fabric cases but it doesn't cover the whole bottom.

Yeah I hope you get your phone soon and no issues with the screen. Still yet to see any on mine....knock on wood lol.

Gotta be getting closer to mine getting shipped. My order date was the 10th, now the confusing part, my email from Verizon says, deliver by 11/1, but if you check the status of the order online, it says ship by 11/1 and if you call Verizon, they say deliver by 11/1, 2 against 1, but no activity on my card and the order still says "We received your order and it is in process." In order for it to make the 1st, it would have to ship on Monday.

10/4 order.

10/24 scheduled ship date for 10/26-27 delivery.

Still no tracking information, and nobody at Google knows what to do about it.

Hah! I'll give that some consideration. The package hasn't been checked in at the depot yet--3+ hours ago it left a depot 30 minutes from me headed for a depot 12 minutes from me, the one from which it will be delivered. But they haven't scanned it yet.

Google CS says their shipping dept has no way of contacting FedEx to allow the package to be held for pickup. Pity that a company that makes phones and Internet technology doesn't grasp the idea of picking up a phone or using the Internet to make a change to their own shipment.

10/4 order.

No one at Google seems to know what to do about much of anything. But they're very good at reciting scripts verbatim though.

I'm going to be able to get my hands on an iPhone X faster than my Panda.

 

[tennisgirlal]

Just got shipping info for my panda, scheduled for 10/31 from FedEx, FedEx seems to be requiring someone to sign for it

 

[ezeuzo1]

Is yours unlocked or Verizon?

 

[jrodjrxbox]

my replacement 2xl comes on the 3rd and so does my iPhone x
