Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

So let me ask a stupid question with Verizon when you have a pre-order and they start to process it any order status does the pre-order change to the 6 digit Ace order number or does it just change the shift when it's shipped

Got mine today and typing on it now. On my order it didn't change the order number or anything. It just added a tracking number and changed the status to completed.
 
My 128GB Black Pixel XL was preordered on 10/15 from Verizon with an expected ship date of 10/28. Called today for an update and Verizon CSR I spoke to said they got a bulletin this afternoon stating that preorders for 128GB models were being delayed further. He said that my order now shows an anticipated ship date of 12/2! Sucks. Hate this stupid S7 Edge, but I ultimately more mad that Samsung screwed the pooch with the Note7. Loved that damn phone.

I had hope and small optimism after seeing some posts that people who pre-ordered only 3 days prior to me had shipped but that hope and optimism is once again crushed.
that makes no sense if that were the case and why aren't people like me who have an 11-11 expected ship date being pushed back as well?
I asked the Verizon rep about that in a chat the other night and they told me that I wouldn't be pushed back because I'm trading in a device towards the $300 credit. the logic behind that explanation that I was given makes no sense.

Sometimes I think the Reps at Verizon don't know which hand is wiping the butt.....

Maybe it's just time to ditch the XLpre order and I get the 128 gig regular pixel and just settle for something less than what I want because that is the Story of My Life.....

I had the same experience on mine that I ordered on 10/14. Ship by of 10/28 was delayed to 12/02. Then I got a notification yesterday that it was shopping. Got it in hand today. Check your status and see what it says on Verizon's website.
 
ETA Nov 23-25 pixel xl black 128gb. Having second thoughts after hearing rumours about samsung phones being released in jan 2017 with 4k resolution.

I'm seriously considering the same, but I know ill regret it.

As of right now, mine says "Expected Ship Date
We are working hard to complete your order. Unfortunately, it will not be shipped as originally scheduled. You will receive a shipment confirmation email when your order ships, which will include a new delivery date."
 
A statement from Samsung on October 24 announced an upgrade program where customers who exchanged their Note 7 with either a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge can trade it up for a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note 8 phone when it arrives next year.

Google seriously better hurry up and ship our orders, because this quote is strongly tempting me away. I can get a $100 credit an free upgrade to the Note 8 when it's released if I trade in now?

Yeah, my interest in the Pixel is starting to wane considerably.

I'm done with Samsung for a while. As slow as this has been, my Note 7 experience has been horrific. Great phone, terrible Customer Service.
 
Hmm, I doubt it. Seeing how, by some miracle, I was able to order a pxl 128gb black on the 28th through Google financing. There are no phones available for purchase right now, at least the xl. I was on the waiting list but I kept checking everyday, and I assume someone canceled an order the same minute I was checking for availability. I don't know. They took the money today. I called synchrony bank to confirm. But I doubt that the phone will get shipped anytime soon. It's still under preorder and estimate delivery November 28th-30th.
 
I don't believe they are short on supply because Apple does this thing every year. Its a marketing strategy to make people think the phones are in high demand

Sorry, I was so excited I started a new thread. I have been refreshing the Google store page several times per day and night hoping to get a silver phone (I'm on wait list for about 9 days now ). All of a sudden tonight after refreshing 3 times in a row it came up with a Black XL 128GB available. I placed my order for it but I really wanted Silver. I paid for it but it said would ship in about 5-6 weeks. Hoping I can snag a silver and then cancel the black.
