My card was charged today as well. Still shows as leaving the warehouse by 10/23 but hopefully it'll show up earlier than that as I returned the phone I was using and will be without one until my 5X shows up.
If that's the case, then the embargo might be lifted tomorrow, at least for the UK reviewers? I know (assume) the reviewers have them, it's just a matter of when Google tells them they can start taking about them again.
FYI if anyone ordered directly from google and had a payment declined, you will get an email to update the payment method. But the system is down so you can't input a new payment method at this time. They said it should be resolved by Monday.
Is there anyone else who ordered from Google Store, in Processing status with a pre-auth/charge on CC dated today that has not received a shipping email/tracking number?
