Pixel 3 / 3 XL - Shipping Discussion

[cardboard60]

If I'm correct, you're on-line from your home WiFi most of the time. If that's the case, Google Fi will pay off for you big-time!

I'm under contract with my wife's phone with Verizon.

I just recalled that you were retired. With a contract with Verizon to fulfill, there's no Google Fi for you for a while.

Got unlimited talk, text and data on Verizon for like 135 or something like that. Got be DD214 discount.

I need to be on Verizon towers where I live

Same here. Lol. I don’t think they know what’s going on

My story is too long for this thread but the whole first part is exactly the same as your version, including all the dates.
What I did after going a little crazy with them was cancel that 2nd order on the 24th when they couldn't give me any info. I then ordered another (3rd) device and I'll have it within the hour.
This created a little mess because I did that on my own and they wanted restocking fee and didn't want 2 give me promotion ($50) but I got to somebody who helped me get everything I deserved plus an extra $50 so I'll have $100 total. It was a crazy experience and I would recommend you asking for a supervisor to help you more than the reps can. The guy who ultimately helped me was Von. He didn't get me the extra 50, that was someone else, but he arranged everything else.
Good luck with everything.

Just to add to my original post.
As I said, I had received $50 compensation for my initial troubles with the 1st 3xl delivered to me and was told that they were working to get me the $50 promotion for pre-ordering even though I went rogue and cancelled my replacement unit and re-ordered on my own which sort of disqualified me for the promotion. They really don't like it when you muck up their process. Lmao!!
Anyway, I've been emailing back and forth with this guy Von and 2 nights ago (the day I received my 2nd 3xl) he said to check my store account and I should see the $50 promotional credit, which seemed weird as you're not supposed to get it for like 4-6 weeks to make sure you're not returning your device.
Well, it wasn't there so I emailed him back immediately and while I wasn't rude, I did continue to convey my displeasure with the entire process.
Last night, as I was sitting down for dinner, I received another email from Von saying I should check my store account in a couple of minutes and that the additional $50 should be there. I didn't even wait 30 seconds to check, but it was there.
My journey to get Google's new edition has been arduous and time consuming, but in the end I do have my 3xl which does have some bugs and is awfully similar to my 2xl but it does make me happy.
I also now have $100 of store credit to use which will go towards the Bellroy leather case (somebody please help me decide between caramel and black for my black 3xl) and I'll probably go for the wireless charging stand too. I'll wait a little bit on that and see if there are any sales.
Looking forward to some updates now.

@bkrickles - Thinking of getting the black one for my black XL - hard to go with caramel without seeing it in person - JMO.

somebody on here posted some pics of the caramel one, I think in the best cases thread, and it looks really nice except for one thing.
The lip is a grey color and it just doesn't seem right to me.
You've got really nice caramel leather all around and then this grey lip next to the black screen.
I'm thinking the black leather with the grey lip on a black phone just matches better.
But the caramel keeps calling to me. Lmao!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking about getting the black Bellroy case for my black Pixel 3.

So a couple of weeks ago the estimated delivery of my free Pixel Stand (that was the pre-order promo in Canada) moved up from November 26 to November 2nd. Then a couple of days ago it showed delayed with no delivery estimate at all, then today I get an email saying it has shipped lol. My phone still shows November 7-8 delivery.

Same except I have no delivery date now for the Pixel XL black 64G. It was 1st November. Hopefully that will change to something like yours, 7-8 November delivery. I guess I will enjoy looking at the stand for a few weeks!

A few hours later...
I should add that the phone has now also been Dispatched! Hopefully it arrives...

Yeah not long after writing my post I got a shipping email for both my Pixel Stand and my Pixel 3! My Pixel 3 wasn't supposed to dispatch till November 7th.

Ordered through Project fi / Google Store. According to the google store right now, I could cancel, re-order, and get them sooner (delivery 11/6-8 as of 10/31). Anybody care to explain that magic? Three different people at Google support certainly aren't capable of explaining it.

You think that Google has their stuff together, but this rollout has been pretty chaotic. Ordered my Oct 9th and it hasn't budged from the Nov 9th estimate for two weeks.

Add me to the Pixel 3 Shipping Date Roller Coaster...

Pixel 3 XL128 GB Just Black
Ordered October 16 at 10:58 PM
Ordered via Google store and selected the Project Fi phone option

At time of check out the delivery date was 10/23-10/24 (by today).

After completing my order and receiving an email confirmation, clicking the tracking info showed it moved to October 30-31.

Then six days later on October 22, I received an email that the shipping date was moved to November 6-7.

So it we went from a stated delivery date of October 23-24 at checkout, to two weeks later.

Interesting... Looking here and in reddit, I'm noticing several changes to the November 6-7 date.

*Update to the above Nov 6-7 date*

I just received my email notification of shipment. Google states delivery Nov 2-5, but Fedex tracking shows delivery by Friday Nov 2. Please note I chose expedited shipping.

I ordered a 'Not Pink' Pixel 3 64gb at Oct 9th on Project Fi store, 'with trade-in option' and the primary delivery date was Nov 2, but it was changed it to Nov 27th last week. I tried to re-order the same phone on ProjectFi, the expected delivery date was Nov 7th. Only the difference was the 'Trade-in' option! I tried to order the same phone again WITH the trade-in option, I get the same Nov 27th delivery date. I guess they ship phones with 'trade-in' order later, which doesn't make sense.

 

[droid4450]

Yeah got my shipping confirmation that my just black pixel 3 XL 128gb has started its route to me

Update to the above two updates, shipment receieved. Also, I received the below email. Not a $50.00 credit as some have received, but on the upside it was offered without my contacting to complain.

 

[Josh Hoevelmann]

Got my shipping notification late last night. Expected delivery Nov 6th. Originally Nov 9-10. Ordered Oct 10 through Fi
