Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

Hey, has anyone who ordered the protection plan and standard shipping recieved shipping info. I ordered on Oct 4, 2016 10:36:23 AM PDT and have been in "Processing" since yesterday at 7pm CDT. (Pixel XL 32GB Quite Black)
 
Order Date/Time: Oct 5, 2016 8:50:16 PM PDT
Ordered From: Google Store
Model: Pixel
Storage: 128GB
Color: Very Silver
Location: Brea, California (Orange County)
Status: Pending // Closed: Oct 18 at 7:54PM PDT // Processing Oct 18 at 11:45PM PDT
Estimated delivery date: Oct 26 - 28 (standard shipping)

I should have paid for expedited shipping!!!:'(
 
I ordered mine through Google Fi, Oct 5, 2016 5:39:00 PM PDT, it said would receive Oct 26th-28th, got fedex shipping notofication today about an hour and a half ago, says by end of day tomorrow, but it still is in "shipping label received" status, so I'm wondering if that will change since I didn't order expedited. Guess I will see soon enough. :)

Shipping Label received is exactly what it means. Someone in the warehouse has your order and labeled it. The package is likely sitting on a pallet somewhere in the warehouse waiting to be picked up. Once FedEx has it in their possession and scans it, the status will update.

And for those of you wondering, Memphis is the FedEx central hub. Anything Overnight, 2nd Day or Express saver will go through there. There's a number of reasons that a package would stay there since 2:30am (i.e. missed the outbound flight, it's a 2Day package and other overnight orders take priority etc), most of which are not due to Google putting a hold on them. Millions of packages filter through there every night. It's unlikely they could single out packages from a particular shipper and hold them.

FedEx Ground is a bit different as that's a separate entity altogether. Depending on how close you are to the distribution center you may receive the package in 1 day. I'm in MIlwaukee and mine for example is shipping from Chicago. FedEx shows an estimated delivery tomorrow.

Sorry if this is off topic. I work in shipping and use FedEx/UPS daily so I am pretty familiar with the ins and outs.
 
Ordered on 14th October from Verizon. Pixel XL128 gb black. Estimated ship date was 10/20/2016.
Just got an email. Bad news.
Delayed shipment due to "item is so popular there is not enough in Stock", now new eta is 11/18/2016. What the bull crap is that.
I might cancel and go v20..
Anyone else got delayed?

For the folks who received the delayed shipment email . . . what color & storage capacity did you order?

Oh my... That is absolutely terrible. Like really and truly.

I'll bet it's Black 128.

Maybe they could try switching to Silver? I know that's what I'd try in the same position.
 
Anybody who placed an order through the Google Store on 10/7 see any movement yet? Just curious as it seems they are going in date order.
 
Ordered two 32gb Pixel XL's on 10/17 with Verizon. One has shipped today (black), the other (silver) is still being processed.
 
I ordered a Pixel XL 32 on 10/7 through the Google store. Still in pending status for me. Been refreshing like crazy all day!
 
Anyone who ordered from Verizon get their notification this morning? I ordered 10/14 and still no notification..... I am worried they run out of stock! :(

I ordered on 10/14 as well and I am starting to worry. Some others are getting emails saying their orders are delayed.
 
My Black 128 GB XL 10/4/16 is still in PreOrder status :(

Mine is in PENDING status, but no CC charge yet. I spoke with Google Support and they only told me that it would ship on or before the 24th. My order details say 10/21 - 10/24.
