Ordered Black XL 128GB - 10/4/16 @ 2:17 PM EST from Play Store - Expected November 23 - 25

I went into my Verizon corporate store today at lunch and they told me the Pixels would be in store for sale on the 20th. I'm curious as to why anyone would order on Verizon.com unless you think you will get it delivered sooner or there is no store nearby. I like to see the actual device I'm going to get before I pay to make sure it doesn't have any obvious defects. Not being critical, just curious.

I thought I posted a reply to this earlier, but I caved and ordered the 32 gb XL in silver. I've been thinking about switching to Project Fi, and noticed that the XL silver was available this morning, but only in the 32 gb. I haven't ever gone over 32 gb w/ my storage, whether I've got an SD card or not, so hopefully that will continue to not be a problem. The 128 was more for my own peace of mind. I typically have about 70-80 apps, but don't take a ton of photos (and upload them to Dropbox anyway, and now they'll also be backed up to Photos), and stream my music rather than have it on the phone.

What shipping date did you receive? I ordered the same one on the 11th but got the "November 23-25th" shipping date. :/

It's been several years since I've had a positive experience at Verizon store. I might go in to browse but I order from the web store. Even for my new SIM card I called and had it mailed to me

Woo-hoo! Got an alert from nowinstock.net that the 128GB XL in black was back in stock at the Google store, and sure enough it was! A minute later and I've got a ship date of Nov. 23-25.

I ordered through the Project Fi site, since I signed up for that also, but I originally got a date of October 23. My order status is now saying October 24-25.

Oh, I really didn't need to see this. Now I'm debating canceling my current order and getting the 128. I honestly don't know if I'd use it, so I hate spending the extra $100, but I know I wouldn't ever have to worry about running out of space.

I should have done the same. Ordering from Google store didn't help me in the slightest. Thanks for the feedback!

One word for me, impatience, maybe two... excitement.

Well, I ended up cancelling anyway and ordering the 128gb. So my ship date is Nov 23-25 now too.

 

[PhiPsi32]

I took the prior poster's advice to just keep checking the website. Was able to order about an hour ago. Then received restock email 30 minutes after that.

^^^ I ordered a handset on launch day and received a November 23 ship date. It's not so bad.

****Edit****
Less than three hours after ordering, XL is now "Out of Stock" again.

Are those shipping dates or arrival dates?

Re: Preorder /order/shipping thread

Just ordered the XL in silver 128gb. Estimated ship date Nov 23 to 25. Can't wait!

 

[mellyf]

I think the October 23rd date was shipping. I guess I assumed (when I went back in to check) that it was just pushed back, but maybe that was arrival. But with cancelling that and ordering the 128, it's going to be November now. Bummed about that, but I just didn't want to end up regretting not getting the 128.

I ordered a Blk 128GB from my Verizon Store Yesterday afternoon, The guy said Ship date of October 24th. He also said it may be here on the release date. I hope so, I am running an old HTC Droid since returning my Note 7.

BTW If you return your Note 7 before your 14 day return window your wait at the desk is about 45 minutes shorter because they do not have to call Verizon to Override the return of the Note 7. I was happy to luck into that one.

I may have to go back to my Verizon store to verify the dates he gave me. Maybe that is the difference between ordering from Verizon and Google.
My take on getting a Verizon Pixel is maybe it may work better on there network. So I do not worry about their bloatware even though it does annoy at the beginning.

Saw a commercial during the Toronto/Cleveland game yesterday and thought I'd check the Google Store. Sure enough my 128GB XL Very Silver was sitting there. Finally preordered. Got a Nov. 23-25 estimated delivery.

 

[JasW]

For those who have been constantly checking the Google Store and missed out on last night's brief replenishment of stock, I highly suggest checking out NowInStock.net Product Availability Tracker and In Stock Notification System and signing up for an alert. The site immediately notified me last night when the XL was back in stock.

[Randy Spear]
