At least for the 6P the earliest expected delivery date I've seen is Oct 30th for those who ordered right away.
So probably not much of a staggered shipping. Mine is saying November 5-9th.

My apologies for not being clearer. I was referring to a Debit card, as in my case.

Considering this thread is pretty lengthy...Im not sure if this was covered.
Anyone happy with Google preorder strategy? Personally I think it stopped the flippers from pushing up the price and ripping people off. Just look at the sad listings on EBay.
Also to answer questions regarding seemingly random estimate dates it has to deal with supply chain and material resource planning. IE: Parts on hand, delivery timeline, and location. Most enterprises companies today run advance demand planning, supply chain management, and materials resource planning software. Build time, and delivery location are part of the factors that contribute to your ship estimate.
I'd be surprised if these come late, in fact I expect these phones will ship earlier than estimated.
when did you order
This has nothing to do with Google. They don't manufacture the product.
Google gathers all the order data, and send it straight to the manufacturers. Then the manufacturers punch all that info into their systems. The system determines the required parts for each order, cross checks to see how much part inventory is on hand, alerts someone to order more parts, factors in manufacturing lines, etc etc. It then spits out estimated delivery dates and gives them back to google. From there, its guaranteed that google pads this estimated date...because **** happens, then gives you a revised estimate.
