"I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

[TommyZ23]

You can use Meenova Dash Micro for Android. I use it with my Nexus 6 32 Gb. I bought a 128Gb class 10 micro sdxc card and use it with Nexus 6. Marshmallow recognizes the usb device and asks you under the notification whether you would use it as a part of the hard drive or only as a media storage. Depending on how you want to use you can format it and you can explore , copy/paste files etc. I love the device. The device is only $13 and 128 Gb micro sdxc card class 10 you can get for 50 to 60 dollars. Here is the link: Dash Micro by Meenova, the all new Mini MicroSD Reader.

That reader is Micro USB which is not going to work with the USB C port.

[jmwilliams83]

Grrrr, so Huawei isn't starting shipments until the end of this week likely the beginning of next week. Deep Sigh.:'(

 

[mvosmera]

Fed ex has mine being delivered on Friday... I think if it goes out today it should arrive by Friday with free shipping

Two things - #1, this is SO much better than previous Nexus launches. I'd take this any day.

#2 - you keep saying it's random and botched, but there really isn't any evidence that's the case. As many have said, it appears to be related to configurations (storage and color) and location (different distribution centers). You're frustrated that you chose a configuration that is not being shipped as early as others. The solution to your complaint would be for Google to hold everyone's device until the actual promised ship date, then you wouldn't be able to complain. Or for Google not to start pre-orders until all the devices are almost ready.

P.S. NYAH NYAH MINE SHIPPED ALREADY

Better how? They announced a phone over a month ago and it's still not in a ton of peoples hands?

I've been using nexus devices since the nexus one and can tell you this is a broken system. It honestly should be first come first serve, or just have enough to go around, or better yet announce the phone and be ready to roll the next week, not over a month later.

But the release is not my issue, it's the fact that my configuration is a 32gb aluminum model which I'm seeing a ton of went out today and I'm still stuck in pending purgatory. It's just odd to me that there are people who have ordered the same exact phone weeks later and have had it shipped out already, while others who ordered long before are seeing no movement? Seriously does that sound like good business. Two people go to a restaurant and order the same thing within 15 min apart from each other and the person who got there 15 min later gets his food first? That makes sense to you....lol

As someone has said, not life threatening... just a major head scratcher.

 

[SeanNYC76]

hahahahahaha....I just did an online chat with a Google rep, says to expect my phone by Nov 9th...Thats later than what my order says in the Google store? Whatever, I'm going back to work now...lol

That's fine. Its still in line with the original plan.

Why are people so upset because their devices aren't arriving earlier than expected?

Finally on the way....

 

[sraj49]

As far as I can see it is still going on a first come first served basis, depending on the color and capacity. I ordered 6 hours after the launch and my 64Gb aluminium is still pending.

The main way it is better is the fact that we all could order them on day one and didn't bring the site down.

I think your restaurant analogy is a little off. It's more like a bunch of people in a bunch of different states order various sized pizzas from a bunch of different restaurants, and some of the restaurants in some of the states deliver some of the pizzas earlier than others, but all indications are that all the pizzas (or at least the overwhelming majority) will be delivered within the time period promised.

But, yeah, honestly I'd be miffed if I were in your shoes. The wait is very painful!

That's definitely not true. I ordered 2x 32GB aluminum at 10:46 launch day. My coworker ordered his 32GB aluminum last week. His shipped, mine hasn't.

just a major head scratcher.

I'm not sure if the correct response is "it's not the complicated" or "it's more complicated than you think".

I don't work at google but as someone who's done work in more plants than I care to recall it's not just a simple 1 assembly line first in first out system.

You keep saying it's a head scratcher so let's just examine 2 parts of the system and pretend we're google here.

1. You have to forecast demand, if you guessed you'd sell 1 million 32 gig models in the first week and you actually sell 5 million you are obviously going to have to start pushing back estimated delivery dates.

2. As orders come in you assign them to be fulfilled at certain manufacturing locations. Each location will have a different part inventory and lead time when it comes to assembling. So plant A and plant B are not going to finish orders at the same rate.

If you think about it in very simple terms it's not hard to figure out why orders process at different speeds (and this didn't even touch on shipping). Even go a step further and think that if plant A is fulfilling orders faster than plant B new orders will get sent to A and may ship before older orders that are at B.

I can't stress this enough, this is not just 1 line making phones, pulling from the same inventory and making each unique phone as the order is placed. The world just doesn't work like that.

That's gotta **** you off. lol

 

[lomsha]

Finally delivered, and waiting at my apartment office. No overtime for me today, going straight home lol.

 

[billy_staples]

Unless you ordered it from the Project FI website ( ), in which case it will come with a Project FI SIM card.

Thanks for the answer!

Throwing this out there to give some hope to those like me who read everyone's post anxiously awaiting updates...

Ordered 64GB Graphite and Nexus Protect on 9/29 at 1:57:04 PM CST, showed anticipated arrival of 11/10-11/12
Google Play account settings showed "Should leave warehouse by 11/5" at some point last week or prior (so many refreshes!)
Status changed from Preorder to Pending last week sometime. Then on Friday to Processing.
Monday I was notified by my cc it had been charged at 11AM CST, just for phone +taxes looking at the amount, by GOOGLE SERVICES.
Cancel order option removed on Google Store & Google Play.
Today at 2:12PM CST my cc notified me of a charge equivalent to Nexus Protect + taxes, again, by GOOGLE SERVICES.
Today at 2:10PM CST I received "Great News" from the Google Store with email and tracking number. FedEx shipping from Carol Stream, IL to Houston, TX (free shipping option) says it should arrive by end of the day Thursday!
Status shows shipped on Google Store now too, by the way.

If it comes this week at all that is a good two weeks before the original anticipated arrival date. This guy is pleased!

 

[Halofury]

Some maybe, but some have a point. People who ordered after day 1 are getting their phones before people who ordered on day 1?! Now does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me. I'm all for Google, been on Android since cupcake or donut, however the randomness of these fulfillments is aggravating. What's the point of 'pre-ordering' when they just ship out randomly anyway? There are some things I'll give Google a pass on, however their delivery of products I can't. It has always been terrible, and it still is to this day.

Exactly that's my frustration!
