Pixel 3 / 3 XL - Shipping Discussion

[Almeuit]

Not coming today because google printed the label but has not given it to fedex yet. So tired of their shenanigans.

Normal for any shipper really. Sometimes they create labels the day before and the next day is pickup. The 19th is the official release, right? So technically they aren't behind schedule. Depends when you ordered as well.

Got it few hours back and everything set up. Will be my daily driver at least for next few weeks. Will be rocking an LTE Apple watch series 3 with it, got to see how it works as a standalone watch since my Xs Max will be sitting at home.

Don't feel alone - I'm waiting for a computer part since the 9th - BUT - the label is printed -

Nice! My daily driver is currently the iPhone Xs (I’m not plugged into any one ecosystem). I have considered picking up a Pixel 3.

Yeah you will like the Pixel 3 coming from iPhone. I always have an iPhone and Pixel since I love both ecosystems. Sad that there isn't a good wearable like Apple watch on Android.

PS: Never like the Galaxy watch, hoping Wear OS gets better in the next year or two.

Curious why you didn't like the Galaxy watch? I have been using wear os for years until about a month ago. It was time for a change, battery life wasn't good and the os didn't change.

I love the Galaxy watch minus not have assistant. I do love the new wearos UI but the new SOC looks bad. Understandably Qualcomm didn't want to spend too much money in a new SOC today might not sell well. I find wearos a little laggy sometimes and a bump in processing performance would have helped. If Google was really serious about wear os they should have partnered with a chip maker and develop a new processor built on a current core.

Personally feel Google had no confidence in their own wearable os. They didn't even want to make a pixel watch.

I believe it's the best available option and even I had the latest one with my Note 9, but as you said no Google assistant and also no great app support especially with Google services. If you are using Samsung built in calendar, email and all their first party apps it's good experience I guess but I don't use them. Overall yeah it's the best option available for Android but I feel Wear OS is much simpler and nicer. Obviously if only Google/Qualcomm and all can get their **** together it'll be nice.

But something with the experience of Apple watch/iPhone I don't get with the Galaxy watch/Samsung phone or Android phone. Hard to explain

YAY!!! Just got the e-mail and my Pixel has shipped.

My 128GB Clearly White Pixel 3 XL from Verizon will be here by 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. It just departed Memphis, TN.

Same with mine, IIRC you're in Minnesota right? I'm in SD so that makes sense. I still think the reason some Verizon orders are being delivered today is because those people live closer to the hubs that are fulfilling the orders. So people in Tennessee and the surrounding areas are getting them sooner because of their proximity to the hub.

 

[SteveISU]

Anyone who picked up the 64gb how much room is left after the OS?

 

[sulla1965]

was dissappointed in the extra 150 cost for the regular Pixel and after sleeping on it decided to go ahead an give the Pixel 3 a try.

I too was not thrilled with the price of the regular pixel 3. But with $100 store credit and $260 resale of pixel XL netted me $360 off the regular price, which made the decision to get it much easier.

Well doggone, my device finally reports as shipped from Verizon. I have been refreshing all day since yesterday really, and finally just now I refresh and it is set for delivery tomorrow before 8.

Guess the distribution center is so close there was no rush on their part.

Here is the response.......

I was given a completely different response yesterday and again today. They said I was automatically enrolled in the free Pixel Stand offer when I ordered via My Verizon app and I would receive it in a week. (They said 2-3 weeks yesterday).

However, there is no mention of the free Pixel Stand on my order confirmation email. The chat agent also did not find any solid evidence of Pixel Stand order in my account except for a note attached to my order.. which is strange.

 

[DarkNeo]

Well well well, My ETA showed Nov 5-7th... I just got a shipping notification. I think demand might be way down. I just ordered my Pixel 3 XL white 128 two days ago too.

 

[Mike Dee]

So for the record you can leave a note stating fed ex to leave package and sign the note. They will then take the note and leave the package. I ya e done this many times. Also have a nest hello so if any shows up I can see them and talk to them from anywhere.

Chuck:

That only works if it's sent indirect signature required. They won't don't that if it's marked direct signature required.

Was the Pixel Stand included in your order confirmation email?
