OMG...got this email from Huawei...
"Oct 28, 2015 11:37:57 AM
Shipped on 10/28/2015 via Other, tracking number"
It's really coming?! *jumps in excitement* I'm getting the 128 Aluminum, so this is way earlier than that "late November" estimate!

FWIW, there is a bit of good news for those who ordered from gethuawei.com. I placed my order on 10/1/15, and I have just received the shipping email from them today. It was a pretty vague "late October" expected shipping date when I ordered, so I'd say they are right on schedule. Sorry, can't offer any screenshot of the email I received. Work is hectic, I just wanted to quickly share my experience.
one of the morals to this story for me is pick the primary color they used in the ads, commercials and showing off the phone. what they think is the best/most popular must have the greatest inventory.
That is actually... not a bad idea at all. Never thought of it myself, but... yeah.
If what you say is true, then most likely the interruption has had to do with your financial institution. My own financial institution waited a full 24 hours to send me a fraud text alert. When I replied 1 to confirm the transaction Google had already declined my payment. I was given no indication of this however. I contacted google support a while later to ask another question and they informed me that my payment method had been declined. I am not sure how things would have worked out if I had known my method had been declined. I still wish you luck.
Re: "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)
You think it is being made directly after I ordered from Huawei's plant, and then sent from there to my house, of course it is not.
From some Huawei plant that had a design specification and a bunch or orders for different models, the phones came to one of two third party buildings in Illinois or California in bulk. These two building are what I would call warehouses, as the phones, accessories, and documentation are already in the boxes by the time they are in these buildings. They would hold the phone, print shipping labels, and then hand it off to FedEx. If FedEx is not shipping, then what is it? So it is warehouses and shipping, just like I said.
You seem to think I want the manufacturing to perfectly match pre-orders. I don't have that expectation, as the lag time is too much. This is why I perfectly understand where none of the Frost phones and none of the 128 GB phones have shipped. There was a manufacturing delay and warehouse doesn't have any. The 32 GB phones are at the other end of the spectrum. The manufacturing was fine, and Google overestimated demand for these phones, so there was plenty of stock in the warehouse. Even recent orders for these models are shipping out quickly. I am fine with that too. What I have issue with is the 64 GB model. It seems clear that Google underestimated this model's demand or there was some delay in manufacturing, so the warehouses got some stock, but not enough to fulfill all orders. It is here that the decision has to be made on which orders to hand off to the shipper, and which to hold. This is where a good distributor will start with the early orders and fill them, and when stock is out, distribution halts until more stock comes in from the manufacturing plant. Some people will get their phones early, because they ordered early, some will get theirs on time, because they ordered a bit later and had to wait on stock to come in, and some will get it after the estimated date because the ordered late. Let's call these group 1, 2, and 3. The group 3 may get $25 credit out of the goodness of Google's hear, but that is not required. If this is the system (which I call orderly filling), then I am OK whether I am in group 1. 2 or 3. If I am diligent in ordering, I am more likely to be group 1, and if I can't make up my mind, I could end up in group 3. What we have right now (assuming people are being truthful) does not resemble this order. This is incompetence on the part of people in the warehouse.
Amazon has this down to a science where they have big enough warehouses to hold group 1 orders and group 2 orders together and order enough so that almost no one ends in group 3. That's why they are always on time, but hardly ever early or late. If Google saves money by using smaller warehouses and less over ordering, and there is a spread between groups 1, 2, and 3, it is understandable, because the phone is not being sold at a high premium. There should however be a logic to who is in each group, and why.

My status just went from processing to shipped!
32gig Aluminum
Ordered: 22 Oct
Charged: 27 Oct (~11:30am EST) (After finding out by luck that my payment method had been declined on 23 Oct)
Processing: 27 Oct (~6:30pm EST)
Shipped: 28 Oct (~12:30pm EST)
FedEx says it will be delivered to my office in RI Monday 2 November. Coming from Carol Stream IL.
They must have forecast primarily selling their 32 gig Aluminum model to get them out this quickly. I wish everyone luck with their orders.

Supply chain fundamentals.. most ERP systems schedule orders with what info is available at the time of the order. If new info or supply is available after that order is placed the system WILL NOT go and re-do existing orders to improve the ship date. Traditional supply chain allocates specific supply against specific orders based on ship date.
New orders will consume that new supply even if that supply is available sooner than previous orders. This is why some folks are getting their orders earlier when they ordered later.
This is how most ERP systems are set up and as we all agree that this is frustrating and should be fixed, it would be very costly and complex to make the shift. As this has been said before.. it's a 'freakin phone'... we all want it.. we're all excited... some of us need to lay off on the refresh button.. but it's still a phone.
I ordered a 128 GB Graphite 6P.. ETA 11-10 to 11-12.. hell yeah I want it now.. but it is what it is!!
Hope that helps!!

Re: "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)
I preordered my 6S+ two weeks prior and it was delivered to me on the day Apple told me. Why can't Google get it right? Ever? Did they not know at their reveal they'd be selling a phone that they themselves felt really damn confident in? You'd think they'd have ramped up production. Fact that no 128gb or frost color has "shipped early" is inexcusable. Did they only produce 20 frost models to send out for reviews? Looks like it.

I think this is the first 128GB that I heard of that's shipping.
I ordered via Google.. hope they start shipping as well
