Official Pixel 8/8 Pro Pre-order Thread.

I received an email from Best Buy ..

your pre-order isn't quite ready for pickup.

We're working to get your pre-ordered item ready for pickup as soon as possible, but it's taking us a little longer than expected.

When it's ready to be picked up we'll notify you to head in to the Best Buy® store.

For more information see the What You Need to Know section below.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Your Customer Care Team

We shall see what tomorrow brings....

Hopefully the watch comes at the same time.

I'm going to be that guy outside Best Buy that approaches everyone with the shady proposition that starts with, "hey, you interested in a Pixel Watch 2? Wanna trade?..."
 
Just got an email from BB stating my Blue Pixel phone is delayed. During my 79 years I have built up quite a collection of nasty words - just used every one.
Getting it on Friday the 13th sounds cool

I waited a few hours after getting this email, went back to BB site and since it was still the 12th I could pre-order a Pixel. I ordered the same thing, the order went through and I had a choice of getting it on the 13th or the 14th. I paid the extra $24 for overnight shipping to get it on he 13th, it was charged to the CC and looks like I'll get the phone tomorrow 🙏.
The watch is on backorder just as it was with the original order. I canceled the original order which I'm pretty sure was put in the dead order pile.
Getting the phone on the 13th is kinda cool :cool:

Oh that is good news!! Well done!
 
Today is the day for me!
Just woke up and tracked my package 📦 and it's at the distribution center near my house.
Next step is "out for delivery" and ups usually delivers to me by 1pm,the latest.
Working from home today and I'll get most of my work done this morning so I'll have the time to enjoy my new toy!

So in a follow up to this post...like an above poster, I looked at shipping options and it said I could get it by the 14th. I also looked at change store and see what happens, it appears that a BB near my work has one Blue in stock and I transferred the pick up to that store. I should get my ready for pick up email today! The watch is not available at either store, which I am okay with, not in a real hurry for it. I had it shipped for free and it says it will arrive the 14th. SO many first world problems here....

Annoying that it is so much effort though.
 
Coming soon!
