Pixel 3 / 3 XL - Shipping Discussion

Does anyone else have a delivery estimate this bad? I want some company in my misery. Worth noting this is a Project Fi Store order.

I can't get anyone at support to tell me if backorders are being processed in the order they were placed. I've seen people say that canceling and replacing orders shaved time off the estimate, which seems unfair to people who placed orders earlier.

Is anyone else dealing with Google Store's systems being down for two days?

Placed a pre-order on 10/9 right after the announcement. Phone was set to ship and be delivered 10/19 - 10/22. On 10/19 it hadn't shipped so I chatted with support to ask what was up and they said it's all good and I'll have my phone by 10/22. 10/20 rolls around and the status on the order changes to "Delayed" and with a note that they'll email me when it will ship.

Now on 10/22 and still today 10/23 support says their systems are down and they can't even check the order status but that its already been assigned to a specialist who will email me as soon as their system is back up....

Frustrating as new orders appear to be shipping as early as tomorrow so would likely be faster to place a new order....
 
Re: Order a Pixel 3 / 3 XL? Is it shipping / card charged / etc? Sound off here!

I ordered on the 9th couple hours after the keynote. Google store. Pixel 3 xl just black 128 GB. Feel slightly disappointed.

Nov 7 – 8


Yeah I am in the same boat as you....total BS
 
Phone, charger and home hub were supposed to come today so I skipped planned activities to wait on them.

The guy came to the apartment, I buzzed him in twice but he never came to my front door.

He left and change the delivery date to tomorrow and didn't leave a door tag.
Got an email yesterday that said it shipped and would be here between the 22nd and 23rd. FedEx says the 23rd. Was hoping I'd get it today. Shipping from Carol Stream, IL. I live in Chicago, you'd think it could have come earlier.
 
I'm on a delivery emotional roller coaster! A new email every afternoon since ordering, moving it up a week, moving it back a week. I don't know what to believe anymore. Only good thing is at least I haven't been charged anything.
Fi order, new service, just black 128, 3 XL

That's crazy. I hope a different person delivers next time. What a ****.

I can't believe that people get paid to be lazy.
 
Finally received my Pixel 3 XL Not Pink 128gb today from Fed Ex. I ordered through their website last night. I'm in heaven and the wait was worth it :)
 
Drove 88 miles to Houston yesterday to wait on OL, she took me to hospital for new program I started.
Got out a little after 10pm last nite.
Drove across 4 counties back home.
My pixel charger was here.
Sent by Google, by FedEx and delivered by post office.

Just got one question.
Do the builders of the 110vac plugs ever take in to account how you are supposed to plug these things in a surge protector the way they make the heads on the plugs ?
Now I lost 3 110vac plugs just plugging in the Google charging stand.
 
Spent 30 minutes on the chat with google the other night, they assured me the phones were being sent in a first come first serve basis. After getting frustrated that my Oct 9th preorder hadn't shipped yet I decided to do a little experiment and order another phone.

Original Order - Oct 9th, 64GB, White, Fi - Still pending current delivery date is Nov 8-9
Order Last Night (10/23 around 4PM CST) - 64GB, White, Unlocked - Shipped this morning delivery date of tomorrow.

So glad i preordered....

Yikes, starting to feel fairly grateful that my 64GB 3XL in Just Black was delivered promptly on the 19th. I ordered through FI on the 9th at 11:40 am, and it was to be delivered on the 18th but FedEx had a delay so it showed up on the 19th. Sorry some of you are having such horror stories.
 
Bet on certain color and size of pixel phones.
Google has sold out.

If Google had of made standard a 128gb phone , with 6 gb RAM and a 4000 ah battery.

Bet there would be so many orders we'd be having a night mare right now getting phones.
 
Two Pixel 3 XL White 128 gb from Fi. Ordered on 10/10. Original date was Nov 14-15. Then Monday I got an email that they were bumped up to Oct 24-25. Then I got another email saying that they were delayed and that the Nov 14-15 is the new date. Now the google store is showing Oct 26-29. Each time the date changed I talked with customer support and they said to expect it that date and they are working hard to get the orders out.

This shipping is very disappointing.
 
The only thing keeping me from canceling my Oct.9th pre-order and ordering again from the Store is the $50 credit we're supposed to receive. First come, first serve my ***. They dropped the ball on this, my guess is that they are totally basing it on warehouse availability in proximity to where you live, and don't want to ship across country to fill orders.
 
I thought the same thing but after I heard somewhere that the 50$ credit wasn't eligible for "Fi" phones I said screw it and just ordered an unlocked phone.
