*Obligatory 'I ordered my Pixel 4' thread!

[Lobwedgephil]

So I ordered the orange phone immediately after the Google event and things went live on the store. I got an email later that night that said it was on its way. I have a FedEx tracking number that shows it's in my city. Then it got delayed until today the 17th.

I just got an email that said Google requested that the order be returned to them.

After a long customer service chat, they assured me it was a mistake and that nothing should be shipping out until November 6.

I feel like crap and I'm considering cancelling my order.

Well, you almost got really lucky. Not sure why you would cancel now though.

Sure, that makes sense. Starting to ship on Sunday for an actual shipping date of Monday sounds great to me.

Well, you almost got really lucky. Not sure why you would cancel now though.

Because it was basically an impulse buy to have the latest phone. If I'm waiting until November to have it shipped I could possibly have better luck picking one up in the store before then. Not to mention all the discounts that usually follow a phones release. Plus, if I decided to re-order I could trade in my current 3xl for the measly $250 or however much it was. I didn't choose trade-in for this order.

Gotcha, didn't realize you had a late shipping date, just assumed you had an early date that was mistakenly shipped early.

Was gonna wait myself but $450 trade for my 2XL from Verizon made it a no brainier. Looking forward to my white 4XL!

I see the usual pre-order nonsense is in full swing - "out of stock" "back-ordered" "blag" "blah" "blah".

My P4 64GB Orange order can still be cancelled, still showing delivery expected 10/23-10/24.

If P4 comes from the same place my other Pixels came from, I get it next day with the shipping option I chose.

May the Pixels be with us........................

This is all I got for now, don't want to cancel just yet though, we will see what the next email says..

At least they sound committed to keeping you in the loop! It's smart to sit tight and wait to see what happens! Keep us posted!

As soon as you cancel the order, it will be back in stock. Can you order an unlocked one somewhere else and put the Sprint sim into it? - just a thought.

OR - try and get one from a local Sprint store?

I probably won't cancel I'm a little more patient at times like these and I have a perfectly good phone so I will deal..

I know Sprint will take me through 5000 channels of no if I tried to bring a phone to them THEY haven't sold me so I won't go that route yet either.

A Perfect example of Pixel Patience.

Yeah the usual, I’m excited and can’t wait until next Wednesday to get mine delivered from Amazon.

That was my exact concern with Amazon, when did you order with them? Hopefully this is an isolated incident and not a trend for them, not that it helps you any. Sucks.

Are you talking about the listing, or inside your order details. It’s back ordered now but if you got the October 23rd date when you ordered your order details should still say arriving Wednesday.
