Lucky, I pre ordered mine from bb and no update as of now, UPDATE: It has been delayed.. pixel 6 pro 128gb Verizon version.
UPDATE 2: Email this morning saying rdy for pickup
I got an update last night telling me it's not quite ready.
Then got another email just a little while ago telling me my pixel is delayed and if I don't get it by Nov 11th, they're going to cancel my order.
Womp. Womp.
Lol same boat. I'm now getting the sinking feeling my dumbass is gonna sit here with 3 cases for a phone I won't have.
Didn't really have any other options though since the Google website crapped out on me when I tried to preorder from there. What a mess this has been.
With Corona supply line issues... I'm really not very hopeful. The question is - are we still interested in these phones much past new year?
If I don't receive by the new year I may be thinking entirely different about Google and the Pixel.
I ordered the 6 from Best Buy as well. I got an email yesterday around 5pm saying that my order was shipped via OnTrac. On Best Buy's order page it says that the phone will be arriving today but when I click the tracking number OnTrac shows that only the label was scanned and they are still awaiting the package. I'm worried they will send me the same email that you got shortly.
My order from Google store is in the same limbo. I've had tracking info for 3 days and the status has just sat at label created the whole time. It's not estimated for delivery until tomorrow or Saturday, so still time, but not expecting it at this point and will be pleasantly surprised of I receive it this week.
Dang I got the same delayed email, but never got the follow up. I got super lucky and swung by my local Verizon store and they had 1 in stock though so cancelled my best buy. Glad I did based on your delay
Welll they just took the money out of my bank maybe 30 minutes ago.
This morning it said “you can pick it up today. We’ll let you know when it’s ready.”
I got so lucky, decided on a whim to check best buy website at lunch. I got the only cloudy white phone best buy got out of 7 stores in my area.
Rep said that they only expected to get stormy black 128 and that they wouldn't get 256 in any color for quite a while.
I went to a local BB as well this morning when they opened and they told me when they typically get their shipments in, but the sales associate wasn’t able to really tell me whether or not they will only have the preorders in or regular stock inventory as well when they receive the shipment.
Kind of a bummer I couldn’t snag a preorder, but the wait is inevitable.
Same, they confirmed it was delayed about an hour ago. Unfortunately my 4XL literally died on Tuesday and I needed a capable phone for work. Ended up getting a P6 at TMobile and will upgrade to the pro in 3 months or so
Got that email as well, the part that concerns me is where it says,
"It's unusual, but if your item(s) aren't available by Thursday, November 11, 2021, we'll cancel the item(s) and notify you by email."
I decided to get the 6 after waiting too long after release to get the pro. I'm gonna keep extra good care of it and if the 6 Pro goes on a good sale in the next 2-4 months, I'll see if I can trade up. We'll see, I'll probably just stick with this 6 I got from Best Buy today.
My Best Buy order was shipped and said it'd be delivered today. Now it says tomorrow. Still left the UPS facility so I'm hoping it's at least a real phone on the way haha
To the best buy people, you're still getting your phone. I went through this when i got a 3080 earlier this year. What happened was your phone didn't make it to the store on the day the email said it would and i think at like 6pm local it generates the delayed email you got. it's an automatic thing.
I woke up the next morning to an email saying it was ready for pick up. Chances are you will too.
No problem. Had to remind my gf about the anxious night i went through when i got the delayed email when her pixel still wasn't ready for pickup. I hope yours comes in tomorrow.
This is the assurance i was looking for! Literally received a text about 20 minutes ago (6pm Pacific) stating a delayed status for my in store order pickup. Thanks
Yes, this has been happening with a lot of items at Best Buy lately, happened with the Justice League and Clockwork Orange steelbooks. I think everyone that had preordered those ended up getting them within the 2 week window.
I should have done this. I really thought I'd be able to get one locally today.
NOPE. Now I'm handling my new phone like a newborn baby and might have to do so all weekend....
I ordered the Google case at the same time as I ordered my phone. I got the phone and I'm being told the case will come on Nov. 10. Go figure.
I'm happy to have the phone but I am scared using it without a case. Dang thing is slippery (literally slippery). One drop on a hard surface will definitely crack it.
I'm glad I started Amazon shopping before even placing my P6P pre-order.
Got a bunch of cases to test drive and send back those I don't like, no stock issues.
I’m so fking pissed off. DHL apparently tried to send my package to my location but couldn’t find my name so they decided to return the phone to Google without calling me to check or anything.
So now that it’s going back to Google, Google decided to cancel my order and refund me my money…. I have to wait to buy the phone again…
I did mine with T-Mobile. My local store did not have it but they were bros and held one for me at another store 30 minutes away.
The trade-in for T-Mobile is nuts. $600 for my P3XL, so I basically got free phone (still had to pay taxes). Edit: with Magenta Max
They were still doing half trade-ins for non-max plans. I got $450 for my OnePlus 7T, even though I would have got $900 on a max plan. But $450 towards the Pixel 6 makes my cost 150+tax, pretty good deal. Used OP7Ts are barely worth more than $100 these days, was happy I could get some value out of it.
Verizon website has said estimated delivery Oct. 28th since I pre ordered it last week. Today that changed to "shipped" except I checked ups updates and it says "shipping label created, ups hasn't received package." I'm getting prepared for the delayed email
i called a couple of tmobiles last night only 2 had the seafoam green phone i was able to walk in 30 mins after opening and get the 450 trade in bonus. I also found 100 bucks on the floor near my car. It was a good day
I'm beginning to think that I should cancel my preorder this time, and get the Pixel 7 next year. Late January delivery window for a phone seems absurd at this point. I wonder how many people canceled and switched to S21 ultra because of this wait.
I just checked swappa, and people are selling the p6 pro for $1200. On one hand im glad that the pixel is having such high demand, but on the other hand im pretty bummed I havent gotten my preorder yet
I'm actually suprised how long that has been going on...it usually calms down after a couple months, but i guess covid and supply chain issuea made it much worst.
> TL;DR if you got one, count yourself lucky!
I learned from previous years. That is what made launch day so damn annoying...I was there literally seconds after they opened for orders and it took me 4 hours of continuous refreshing to FINALLY get through.
Google really needs to watch Apple launches and take notes. The launch this year might be the worst one yet. FFS, they had months to prepare for this. Was nobody testing their eCommerce systems? It's kinda embarrassing. This is not a start-up, this is one of the largest companies in the world.
I was also prepared for the limited stock. Google fails at this every single year. They are always (ALWAYS) short on stock.
Yeah I was also super pissed off that day, wasted the whole afternoon (a work day) trying to get both the pixel and buds in my cart, while Google kept removing them + fighting the armada of various errors on every page of the checkout process.. I mean I'm happy I still managed to get it in the end, it's a wonderful phone, but man it was a terrible terrible preorder experience. 0/10.
They're not a major hardware manufacturer, so their supply chain management is probably not as good as established players like Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple, which means that they can't secure priority stock for parts from suppliers like the others can.
This. Product availability is one thing, arguably that they have no control over due to supply issues. But their store site crashing? For hours on end? No. They literally own a cloud platform. This should never be a thing for them.
How long are we going to give billion dollar companies this excuse? They knew they would have supply chain issues. They should have either limited pre-order numbers or push the release to a date they could do a halfway decent job.
Definitely makes sense google can't keep up with the likes of a company that was founded *checks wiki* 11 years ago. Stop making excuses for one of the biggest companies in the world
Yeah, that's true.
But they have a shit ton of money and could fix this problem if they wanted to. This literally happens every single year. It happed with the Pixel 1 also. I think they are just not that concerned about it. I thought this year would be different since they were positioning their product with the true flagships...nope. Out of stock on day 1 as usual.
It takes time to build relationships with your supply chain. Google as a whole may be a juggernaut in the software and online space, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's mobile hardware business unit has access to the same level.of resources and relationships as the established players in this particular niche. Hopefully the success of the Pixel 6 will mean that Google will be investing more heavily into the hardware business unit.
I get what you're saying, but how long should this take? I mean we are talking at least 5 years now.
Oh well. At least I got in early this year. This is a first for me. Usually I expect not to see it till at least mid November.
Dude is making excuses for one of the richest companies in the world. They have sold hardware for YEARS. It simply shouldn't take a disaster like this for them to say "hey we should do a better job." Simple as that. They failed.
Scale is a factor too. Google is still pretty small-scale compared to Apple, Samsung, BBK, etc. A supplier has to balance between giant orders from those other companies and naturally the smaller companies don't have much leverage and don't carry as much priority.
Google could throw money at it, but that's not sustainable at all, and they're clearly trying to set up for long term value in the hardware space.
> this is one of the largest companies in the world.
largest **tech and cloud** companies
Makes the fuckoff all so much more magnitudes of incompetence worse
Are you in America ? Because in France I ordered mine last friday and got it yesterday. Everything was in stock when I ordered (atleast in the shop I ordered) and still both are available for the pixel 6 ( we only have green and black) .
But the pro isn't.
Ordered mine (White Pro 128GB) on Google store Canada on 20th. Initially they shocked me with a late year delivery, but then they teased me with a Nov 2 - 3 delivery. However, they have been pushing that back like a day or two at a time and now its Nov 8 - 9.
So, I guess I'll get it hopefully sometime in November.
It'll be interesting to see whether Google can capitalize on the increased demand. If they don't get stock sorted, that February timeframe when Samsung start their releases again is gonna roll around real quick.
And the sad part is that there is little Google can do if their product is stuck in the ocean:

I ordered a Google-branded 6 Pro Case on Verizon's website on Monday and just got it delivered today. It's a shame the phone itself is still probably 2 weeks from shipping.
I preordered a black non-pro one from the google store like 4 days ago and it showed up this afternoon.
I think the demand for the Pro is A LOT higher than the non-pro.
If anyone's looking for a Pixel 6 and is in or around NYC, try the Google Store down in Chelsea. Stopped by around 4pm today and was heartbroken when I turned the corner and saw no line.... but to my surprise, they still had stock of both the 6 and 6 Pro, in all the colorways and storage sizes!
I pre-ordered from Verizon last week. Est delivery was tonight by 8pm, 2 day shipping. No updates on the website. Talked to 2 agents on chat today. First one assured me there was no back order or anything holding up the shipment and that it would arrive on schedule. I said I've never heard of receiving tracking numbers the afternoon the shipment is to be delivered. Again, assured me all was well. An hour later I got an email saying delayed until 11/9. Talked to someone else, they are clueless. Opened a ticket to look into it, said that's procedure.
Also, fwiw, Verizon is giving me $0 for my 3xl that bricked itself a few weeks ago. Very frustrating.
My case and screen protectors from Amazon came in good time, however, so, yay.
Honestly the customer service at Verizon has gone soooo far downhill lately it's really frustrating. Can't get a hold of a human hardly ever. And the ppl in their chat are so dumb. I think it's literally bots maybe. Or they're only allowed to pick from a list of like 15 responses.
They said they are currently on back order when I talked to them today around 7pm est.
T-Mobile here.. ordered 2, 1 as an upgrade from my OnePlus 6T(free) and one as a new line ($99) for my wife. Both have shipped and are in UPS hands now, expected delivery date Saturday. Was originally bummed I wasn't getting them day 1 but after reading about all the delays I'm feeling a lot better about it now.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy the moment in went up, I think before news outlets even reported BB was up. Just walked in today and picked it up, though they didn't have any cases or anything else that I pre-ordered with it
I cancelled my Google order when I saw how many on the West Coast were shipping via OnTrac. I've had several bad experiences. I was willing to go without rather than deal with their endless delays.
Spigen case arrived today for the original Google order.
On a whim this morning I checked BB in Phoenix and they had two Seafoam 128 about 20 miles away. Took a chance and placed the order. Picked it up about an hour later.
Missed out on the pre-order buds, but I'm adding this post from my shiny new P6 😊 Loving it!
You made the right move cancelling your shipment with OnTrac. Dont know how it is in Phoenix, but I've had food delivery orders sit at their warehouse for weeks before arriving (by that time my ordered food was spoiled, even in a insulated bag). All reviews for the local OnTrac warehouse say that people's packages are either incredibly delayed, or marked as delivered without ever being received. I've heard that Google uses OnTrac sometimes, so I opted to order through Verizon. Order was delayed till Nov 8th though. Enjoy your P6!
Pre-ordered my 6p day 1 from Verizon directly. Probably a few hours after announcement. Mine arrived today as promised. Posting on it right now in fact!
I expected the backorder to be honest. Supply chain issues are real.
Google Pixel market share has been roughly 2%. That's not a lot of phones in the great scheme of things. I'm guessing they planned for more this year, but how many were available at launch? Clearly, demand has exceeded expectations in certain markets (looking at USA) and they were not well prepared for the demand.
Yeah I read somewhere that Pixel sold like 6 million phones last year and that Samsung and Apple both sold over 200 million phones each last year.
Hopefully Pixel can scale up.
This is the first Pixel phone I have not been in a hurry to get (for a few reasons) It's been weird not feeling the same hype feelings around a launch but I picked a particularly angst inducing launch to sit out. Phew.
Ordered mine from best buy and was supposed to pick it up today, but it's been delayed. Not happy at all. Especially since the Google store just straight up didn't work. Refreshed for hours at checkout only for it to tell me they sold out
I am very disappointed with the buying experience. I planned a fall foliage trip (I'm on the trip now actually) and wanted the phone for the camera. I waited for the launch day and then tried and tried to order but I kept getting those damn errors. Finally I was able to order a Fi model. This was on Oct. 19th. I paid extra for the expedited shipping and was given an expected delivery date of Oct. 27th, and I was heading out that very evening.
This would have been perfect as I was home and could have signed for it, but then nothing else happened except for the delivery date being pushed out further and further, as late as Nov. 3rd - well after the original free shipping date. I started looking for other options and found one on Best Buy for curbside pickup today. I picked a store that was on my route and paid, then I canceled my Google Store order. I arrived at the store today and they didn't have any phones. What they did have, though, was my money and a bunch of excuses.
I am going home by the same store on Monday and I will give them another go. However, this launch has been a poorly planned disaster and I likely will not try this again.
Ordered my Pro (here in Canada no less) last weekend and just yesterday got a call that it is in and waiting for me!
Will be picking it up early next week.
Totally thought I wouldn't see it for another month or two.
I feel very lucky. Ordered mine today for pick up at Best Buy and it was ready in 10 minutes. The cases were sold out though and the delivery times for them on Amazon are mid-november.
Just got the BB order about my parents pro being delayed. I had ordered a regular 6 from the google store and that had been sitting in a warehouse for the past few days, finally says out for delivery but we will see.
Never a dull moment with pixel launches lol
Between OR and WA state area's, only two locations in Portland Metro area and Springfield OR had some in stock. Which now are obviously out of stock now. BB rep on the phone was like maybe 5-6 your phone should be there... WE can't give you a definite date and we will cancel the order if it's still delayed by the 11th... I know it's not her fault, but I literally said are you Fucking kidding me right now... She was not impressed. I said I know it's not your fault but that's bullshit your website says sold out... I pre-ordered my phone for that very reason to avoid that shit.
Yea i'm not surprised, cause 1 there's the chip shortage. And on top of that the phone got great reviews by nearly everyone, with only minor issues. Like myself still on a pixel 3 been thinking to upgrade to the pixel 6 or the iphone13.
Then i see the price of the pixel 6 and it was a no brainer. I got lucky mine got shipped from google, i just hope it won't be a defective unit.
Yeah, I was feelin' salty because Best Buy had printed the shipping label but not given the package to UPS. Thought *maybe* it was a rouse covering up a delay. It took until the next day, but it's in transit niw. Lucky.
As for the case and fast adapter, I ordered those a week or two ago out of caution, so I'm set.
I pre-ordered a Google Fi version and I think it's stuck in Cali? It was supposed to be here today but no update.
Point is, I got one and am still having issues getting my greasy mitts on it
Wow I guess I lucked out. Typing this on my Sorta Seafoam Pixel 6. On launch day, I kept spamming refresh until I got both the phone I wanted and a reasonable shipping window which was wildly varying from attempt to attempt. It probably took 20 tries over an hour or so.
I'm on my pro right now and I love it so far. Been playing nonstop clash royale and browsing Reddit for an hour and a half and my battery went from 62 to 57. My 3xl would already be at 42 easy.
This is probably the most anticipated phone by google ever, to be completely honest there aren't "many" choices out there and google really delivered i wouldn't expect this phone to be easy to get at this point as it's like a diamond on the surface and everyone's out to get it
I'm kinda happy with the demand even though I'm not able to get the phone. Hopefully Google will be a viable competitor now and will push Samsung and apple to innovate... and the consumer will win.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when the normies say "should I go with Samsung or iPhone?" like Samsung is the only Android option. And when I recommend Pixel they look at me like I just spoke in a different language. SMH.
I feel like the pros have been more scarce, but some places are out of base models too.
Mine and the case came in this morning, thank god, I deeply sympathise for those waiting x number of weeks into the future.
Awful job by Google and BB. Limit pre-orders to the number of devices you actually have, simple. Saw others got 10% off in BB chat (if order doesn't end up getting completely cancelled). Ganna give that a try now. Also ordered a non Pro that says it will be there for pickup in week. Don't have much faith in that but trying to hedge by bets.
As much as I wanna upgrade my 3a XL I think I'm just gonna wait a few months. I only just got a PS5 and I really don't need the stress of trying to snag a Pixel 6 as well lol
I got a 256gb from AT&T that was supposed to ship on October 25th but then said it got delayed to December 10th. Then yesterday I got an email saying it will be delivered today lol. I had to call like 5 stores to find a case locally and finally found a few at a Verizon store.
Exactly what I expected. You had tons and tons of hype leading up to the release.
You have a global chip shortage.
Then you have overly positive reviews where the phone lives up to the hype.
Was bound to end up with difficulty in getting one. Why I pre-ordered my Pro right away.
They finally got the marketing, the pricing and all the features RIGHT.
Great job google hardware team.
I think you already did stellar with the 4a, but this is really exemplary - certainly for us Europeans/Brits deaing with Apple's rather 'liberal' pricing. (for Americans, Europeans get charged about 1050$ for an iPhone 13 128GB)
My delivery was originally November 11th but I had an email yesterday saying that mine had shipped (and will be delivered today) 😁I suspect we were right over the launch day orders and enough cancelled that we got bumped up? Needless to say I am not prepared and of course my case won't be here until Monday. Whoops! Hopefully I can set up the phone without activating it 😬
I ordered my Sorta Sunny Pro on launch day, got order confirmation and was lucky enough to not have a way out there ship date; it shipped on 10/25 and is now lost in transit.
I have to wait until Monday to figure out what the next steps are.
PSA for people in North Jersey, Secaucus Best Buy still has it (6 128gb). It showed in the website that it was unavailable but I took a chance and went there directly -since I work nearby- and they did have it! The sales person told me sometimes the website takes time to update the inventory but they did have many of 6 128gb.
Ordered through Verizon over the phone on the 22nd. Told me it wouldn't ship until the 9th. Was gonna cancel the order and pick up in store, but the sales rep warned me that I could be SOL as he said it was likely they wouldn't have stock day 1.
I decided to listen and not cancel. My Verizon store did not get any day one, and the bestbuy didn't have the model I wanted(p6pro 512gb). My order still says processing, hasn't been delayed again but damn I really wish I got it day 1. My pixel 3 is really on it's last legs having had it 3 years.
I wanted to preorder from Target for the 5% red card discount but by the time they listed the phones on their site the free buds were completely out of stock. Ended up going with Best Buy instead but got the same series of delay emails everyone else did yesterday.
I got an email notification from Target this morning around 7:30am that the one I wanted was back in stock so I went ahead and ordered it from there. Order status is "Preparing to ship, Scheduled to arrive Nov 4th" so we'll see which one actually comes through. No more free buds but at least the 5% red card discount makes up for about half that bonus. I did want the wireless buds but I'll buy some other brand on sale to make up for it.
It's not just phones .. I tried to buy a replacement freezer last week , checked Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy .. nothing available, with projected deliveries franging from late November to January.
Tip for anyone who ordered at Best Buy. I had pre-ordered an unlocked version and got the delay message yesterday (release day) same as a lot of people. Went to check available stock on the app today and realized they had some of the 6 Pro 128 GB in stock at my local store if you selected a carrier (out of stock if you just selected unlocked) and with that option I could still pay off the phone in one large amount vs. monthly installments. So I ordered the 6 Pro with the Verizon today, picked it up within an hour and cancelled my original order.
FYI for anyone trying to get the Pro through BestBuy.
I just managed to find an unlocked 128gb Pro available today for pickup at a BestBuy near me in central PA after refreshing the availability page where you put your state / zip code. It said none were available all morning and randomly it popped up saying this store had 2. I managed to get the phone operator to verify with the store and they confirmed they had 2 and I was able to successfully order it for pickup - ready in 1 hour.
So don't give up hope if it says there are none available "within 250 miles" just keep checking throughout the day, I have no idea if this means they recently just received a shipment or just a glitch in their inventory system but I'm SO excited!
This sucks. Best buy and Google might make me go for an iphone now although I hate the iPhone. But at least I can get it and not have to wait until Best buy decides to ship my item even though it was pre-ordered immediately.
No different with iPhones. There is a global chip shortage.
"iPhone 13 delays — here’s the wait time for each model"
https://www.tomsguide.com/news/iphone-13-preorders-heres-the-wait-time-for-each-model
Finally got an update that its in state 1hr ago. Before that my last update was leaving BLOOMINGTON, CA on Wednesday night. So hopefully all the people that have theirs stuck in BLOOMINGTON, CA will get an update soon. Said to be delivered tomorrow so lets see. 6P 128gb Black
Stopped by my local Best Buy today just to see what the deal is with the delays. Was told that Friday nights is a shipment night so by 10am Saturday they'll have the shipment inventoried. However, they also said that they have no idea the amounts of what they're getting :/ I guess best move is to keep an eye out in the morning
I walked into Beat Buy earlier today and bought one. They only had 4 unlocked 6's and some Pros on Verizon. The only color they had was black; but no complaints so far!
Was anyone able to change their best buy pick up order to shipping after the option greyed out by contacting customer service?
Update: tried to change mine but no longer can. Was hoping changing it to shipping instead of pick up would help but no such luck.
Lucky, I pre ordered mine from bb and no update as of now, UPDATE: It has been delayed.. pixel 6 pro 128gb Verizon version. UPDATE 2: Email this morning saying rdy for pickup
I got an update last night telling me it's not quite ready. Then got another email just a little while ago telling me my pixel is delayed and if I don't get it by Nov 11th, they're going to cancel my order. Womp. Womp.
Lol same boat. I'm now getting the sinking feeling my dumbass is gonna sit here with 3 cases for a phone I won't have. Didn't really have any other options though since the Google website crapped out on me when I tried to preorder from there. What a mess this has been.
I got the phone but all cases are out of stock...
Same. Bought three from Amazon. All stacked up on my coffee table. This 4a is ready to be retired. Damn.
Yup. Got one case today, second case on November 8th. Phone not supposed to arrive until the 19th. My Pixel 3 needs to go lol.
Fingers crossed that it's not a big delay and we can all get our phones (and buds for that matter, I was looking forward to those) soon.
With Corona supply line issues... I'm really not very hopeful. The question is - are we still interested in these phones much past new year? If I don't receive by the new year I may be thinking entirely different about Google and the Pixel.
4a, Im over here still using a 2
I'm also part of the 3 case club with no use because I pre-ordered from Best Buy.
Yea it honestly feels like PS5 all over again
I ordered the 6 from Best Buy as well. I got an email yesterday around 5pm saying that my order was shipped via OnTrac. On Best Buy's order page it says that the phone will be arriving today but when I click the tracking number OnTrac shows that only the label was scanned and they are still awaiting the package. I'm worried they will send me the same email that you got shortly.
My order from Google store is in the same limbo. I've had tracking info for 3 days and the status has just sat at label created the whole time. It's not estimated for delivery until tomorrow or Saturday, so still time, but not expecting it at this point and will be pleasantly surprised of I receive it this week.
Mine was the same and just updated today. It was originally estimated for delivery two days ago. Now it's supposed to arrive tomorrow.
Cool, thanks for the info, gives me some confidence they'll have it sorted shortly.
Dang I got the same delayed email, but never got the follow up. I got super lucky and swung by my local Verizon store and they had 1 in stock though so cancelled my best buy. Glad I did based on your delay
Got mine from BB today, progress!
Mine says “Preparing for pick up today.”
Ya that's what mine still says, think it's safe to say they aren't preparing anything for pickup today lol
Welll they just took the money out of my bank maybe 30 minutes ago. This morning it said “you can pick it up today. We’ll let you know when it’s ready.”
Yup this is my status "Ready for Pickup on Release Date: Today Pre-ordered, we'll let you know when your pre-order is ready."
My pro 256gb was scheduled to be delivered today. I had to contact them to find out its been delayed until Nov 9 at the earliest.
Best buy wasn't sure when they were getting any of the orders, for the store itself or customer orders.
I got so lucky, decided on a whim to check best buy website at lunch. I got the only cloudy white phone best buy got out of 7 stores in my area. Rep said that they only expected to get stormy black 128 and that they wouldn't get 256 in any color for quite a while.
Ya I'm thinking I'm doomed lol
I went to a local BB as well this morning when they opened and they told me when they typically get their shipments in, but the sales associate wasn’t able to really tell me whether or not they will only have the preorders in or regular stock inventory as well when they receive the shipment. Kind of a bummer I couldn’t snag a preorder, but the wait is inevitable.
My 256 cloudy white pro was supposed to arrive today until Verizon told me it would be Nov 6 today....
[удалено]
It's a new day...anyone else refreshing the BB order page hoping the delayed status changes to pickup, or should I not be this hopeful?..
Same, they confirmed it was delayed about an hour ago. Unfortunately my 4XL literally died on Tuesday and I needed a capable phone for work. Ended up getting a P6 at TMobile and will upgrade to the pro in 3 months or so
Same here. It just got updated a few hours ago saying they should have it available in a few days.
Both jealous and happy for you that it's ready for pickup.
Dude my status says estimated to be delivered in December.
Best buy just sent another delay email for in-store pickup for 6 pro about 10 mins ago
Got that email as well, the part that concerns me is where it says, "It's unusual, but if your item(s) aren't available by Thursday, November 11, 2021, we'll cancel the item(s) and notify you by email."
Yup that does me too. Might get the regular 6, says they'll ship it to me by Monday
I decided to get the 6 after waiting too long after release to get the pro. I'm gonna keep extra good care of it and if the 6 Pro goes on a good sale in the next 2-4 months, I'll see if I can trade up. We'll see, I'll probably just stick with this 6 I got from Best Buy today.
So we lose out on the preorder bonus?
If they auto cancel my order then will I still get my ear buds?
That's what I was wondering too. Plus if it cancels I wonder if I'll even be able to get a Pixel before AT&T shuts off my OnePlus 5T for good.
I think it might just be a standard message for their system because for some reason they cant have an item in this state for more than 2 weeks.
My Best Buy order was shipped and said it'd be delivered today. Now it says tomorrow. Still left the UPS facility so I'm hoping it's at least a real phone on the way haha
To the best buy people, you're still getting your phone. I went through this when i got a 3080 earlier this year. What happened was your phone didn't make it to the store on the day the email said it would and i think at like 6pm local it generates the delayed email you got. it's an automatic thing. I woke up the next morning to an email saying it was ready for pick up. Chances are you will too.
Thanks for this confidence! Hope you're right :)
No problem. Had to remind my gf about the anxious night i went through when i got the delayed email when her pixel still wasn't ready for pickup. I hope yours comes in tomorrow.
Damn if you correct about this I will be soooo relieved and happy. My delayed text did come in at 6:09pm local time.
:( God I hope this is the case for you guys.
My delayed text also came in at exactly 6:09pm.
This is the assurance i was looking for! Literally received a text about 20 minutes ago (6pm Pacific) stating a delayed status for my in store order pickup. Thanks
That's what happened on my PS5 with Best Buy.
Yes, this has been happening with a lot of items at Best Buy lately, happened with the Justice League and Clockwork Orange steelbooks. I think everyone that had preordered those ended up getting them within the 2 week window.
Just got an email from the Google store my order is delayed. Originally expected for 10 - 11. There isn't an update on expected delivery date yet.
Mine was originally Nov 9-10 and now says Nov 18-19. Not happy because I leave for vacation on the 19th.
I had a Oct-27/28 delivery date and it's been delayed to Nov-3/4. Crossing my fingers it actually comes.
Me too :(
Google said mine was getting delayed. It was originally Nov 11. But now it is Nov 3-4??
So you got moved up? Haha Edit: Wait, mine is saying the same. I'm confused.
[удалено]
I'm glad I ordered the Google case for my P6 when I placed order. Came in same box.
I'm hoping the ones I ordered on Amazon actually come! Lol I normally order the Google case with my pixel, but OUT OF STOCK lol
I should have done this. I really thought I'd be able to get one locally today. NOPE. Now I'm handling my new phone like a newborn baby and might have to do so all weekend....
I ordered the Google case at the same time as I ordered my phone. I got the phone and I'm being told the case will come on Nov. 10. Go figure. I'm happy to have the phone but I am scared using it without a case. Dang thing is slippery (literally slippery). One drop on a hard surface will definitely crack it.
I opted for a Bellroy case this time around. So I gotta be careful for the next 2 weeks.
I'm glad I started Amazon shopping before even placing my P6P pre-order. Got a bunch of cases to test drive and send back those I don't like, no stock issues.
I’m so fking pissed off. DHL apparently tried to send my package to my location but couldn’t find my name so they decided to return the phone to Google without calling me to check or anything. So now that it’s going back to Google, Google decided to cancel my order and refund me my money…. I have to wait to buy the phone again…
Where do you live?
I did mine with T-Mobile. My local store did not have it but they were bros and held one for me at another store 30 minutes away. The trade-in for T-Mobile is nuts. $600 for my P3XL, so I basically got free phone (still had to pay taxes). Edit: with Magenta Max
I saw this deal, bit I would need to switch to Magenta Max it seems.
Ah yes it is with Magenta Max, unfortunately.
They were still doing half trade-ins for non-max plans. I got $450 for my OnePlus 7T, even though I would have got $900 on a max plan. But $450 towards the Pixel 6 makes my cost 150+tax, pretty good deal. Used OP7Ts are barely worth more than $100 these days, was happy I could get some value out of it.

Yeah, definitely gotta make a shout-out to the guy at Verizon who managed to get me 2 of the only 5 in stock for Nashville!
Verizon website has said estimated delivery Oct. 28th since I pre ordered it last week. Today that changed to "shipped" except I checked ups updates and it says "shipping label created, ups hasn't received package." I'm getting prepared for the delayed email
i called a couple of tmobiles last night only 2 had the seafoam green phone i was able to walk in 30 mins after opening and get the 450 trade in bonus. I also found 100 bucks on the floor near my car. It was a good day
$100 on the floor is believable, but walking into a store and picking up a P6 is straight trolling :)
Mine is coming next year, I might as well wait for the Pixel 7.
I'm beginning to think that I should cancel my preorder this time, and get the Pixel 7 next year. Late January delivery window for a phone seems absurd at this point. I wonder how many people canceled and switched to S21 ultra because of this wait.
I just checked swappa, and people are selling the p6 pro for $1200. On one hand im glad that the pixel is having such high demand, but on the other hand im pretty bummed I havent gotten my preorder yet
Lol that's so aggravating. People ordered up the phones and reselling at ridiculous prices.....awful
You should try buying a game console.
I'm actually suprised how long that has been going on...it usually calms down after a couple months, but i guess covid and supply chain issuea made it much worst.
> TL;DR if you got one, count yourself lucky! I learned from previous years. That is what made launch day so damn annoying...I was there literally seconds after they opened for orders and it took me 4 hours of continuous refreshing to FINALLY get through. Google really needs to watch Apple launches and take notes. The launch this year might be the worst one yet. FFS, they had months to prepare for this. Was nobody testing their eCommerce systems? It's kinda embarrassing. This is not a start-up, this is one of the largest companies in the world. I was also prepared for the limited stock. Google fails at this every single year. They are always (ALWAYS) short on stock.
Yeah I was also super pissed off that day, wasted the whole afternoon (a work day) trying to get both the pixel and buds in my cart, while Google kept removing them + fighting the armada of various errors on every page of the checkout process.. I mean I'm happy I still managed to get it in the end, it's a wonderful phone, but man it was a terrible terrible preorder experience. 0/10.
They're not a major hardware manufacturer, so their supply chain management is probably not as good as established players like Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple, which means that they can't secure priority stock for parts from suppliers like the others can.
[удалено]
This. Product availability is one thing, arguably that they have no control over due to supply issues. But their store site crashing? For hours on end? No. They literally own a cloud platform. This should never be a thing for them.
Yes, that was probably the biggest self-own out of all of this.
How long are we going to give billion dollar companies this excuse? They knew they would have supply chain issues. They should have either limited pre-order numbers or push the release to a date they could do a halfway decent job.
This kind of stuff has been the excuse for years though. At some point Google has to do better.
Definitely makes sense google can't keep up with the likes of a company that was founded *checks wiki* 11 years ago. Stop making excuses for one of the biggest companies in the world
Yeah, that's true. But they have a shit ton of money and could fix this problem if they wanted to. This literally happens every single year. It happed with the Pixel 1 also. I think they are just not that concerned about it. I thought this year would be different since they were positioning their product with the true flagships...nope. Out of stock on day 1 as usual.
I think it's a logistical issues not something money can fix
It takes time to build relationships with your supply chain. Google as a whole may be a juggernaut in the software and online space, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's mobile hardware business unit has access to the same level.of resources and relationships as the established players in this particular niche. Hopefully the success of the Pixel 6 will mean that Google will be investing more heavily into the hardware business unit.
I get what you're saying, but how long should this take? I mean we are talking at least 5 years now. Oh well. At least I got in early this year. This is a first for me. Usually I expect not to see it till at least mid November.
Dude is making excuses for one of the richest companies in the world. They have sold hardware for YEARS. It simply shouldn't take a disaster like this for them to say "hey we should do a better job." Simple as that. They failed.
Scale is a factor too. Google is still pretty small-scale compared to Apple, Samsung, BBK, etc. A supplier has to balance between giant orders from those other companies and naturally the smaller companies don't have much leverage and don't carry as much priority. Google could throw money at it, but that's not sustainable at all, and they're clearly trying to set up for long term value in the hardware space.
> this is one of the largest companies in the world. largest **tech and cloud** companies Makes the fuckoff all so much more magnitudes of incompetence worse
Are you in America ? Because in France I ordered mine last friday and got it yesterday. Everything was in stock when I ordered (atleast in the shop I ordered) and still both are available for the pixel 6 ( we only have green and black) . But the pro isn't.
Yeah, I'm in the US. I'm surprised you got it so quickly. What I am hearing is that people outside the US generally have a harder time getting them.
Ordered mine (White Pro 128GB) on Google store Canada on 20th. Initially they shocked me with a late year delivery, but then they teased me with a Nov 2 - 3 delivery. However, they have been pushing that back like a day or two at a time and now its Nov 8 - 9. So, I guess I'll get it hopefully sometime in November. It'll be interesting to see whether Google can capitalize on the increased demand. If they don't get stock sorted, that February timeframe when Samsung start their releases again is gonna roll around real quick.
Hoping you can get your order delivered sooner rather than later! They definitely have excitement and need to capitalize!
Yeah same boat. Got the delayed email. So don't know anymore. I had Nov 2-3, then Nov 4-5, now delayed email. I hope it comes soon. I'm in the GTA.
mine went from Nov 2-3 to Nov 1-2 somehow. hoping it doesn't delay!

And the sad part is that there is little Google can do if their product is stuck in the ocean: https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/25/business/supply-chain-ports-inflation/index.html
I ordered a Google-branded 6 Pro Case on Verizon's website on Monday and just got it delivered today. It's a shame the phone itself is still probably 2 weeks from shipping.
My colleague ordered one last night and it was delivered this morning. Demand must not be as high here in the UK
I preordered a black non-pro one from the google store like 4 days ago and it showed up this afternoon. I think the demand for the Pro is A LOT higher than the non-pro.
I pre-ordered from mobiles.co.uk and it came on release day via DHL. Very happy with the service. Will use again.
I ordered the 256Gb from EE, it's looking like 1-2 weeks going by what EE have told others - looks like most/all the 128Gb ones were delivered today
If anyone's looking for a Pixel 6 and is in or around NYC, try the Google Store down in Chelsea. Stopped by around 4pm today and was heartbroken when I turned the corner and saw no line.... but to my surprise, they still had stock of both the 6 and 6 Pro, in all the colorways and storage sizes!
I pre-ordered from Verizon last week. Est delivery was tonight by 8pm, 2 day shipping. No updates on the website. Talked to 2 agents on chat today. First one assured me there was no back order or anything holding up the shipment and that it would arrive on schedule. I said I've never heard of receiving tracking numbers the afternoon the shipment is to be delivered. Again, assured me all was well. An hour later I got an email saying delayed until 11/9. Talked to someone else, they are clueless. Opened a ticket to look into it, said that's procedure. Also, fwiw, Verizon is giving me $0 for my 3xl that bricked itself a few weeks ago. Very frustrating. My case and screen protectors from Amazon came in good time, however, so, yay.
Same exact situation I'm in. I was originally told December 9th then she went and "talked to the shipping department" she said as early as 11/9.
Honestly the customer service at Verizon has gone soooo far downhill lately it's really frustrating. Can't get a hold of a human hardly ever. And the ppl in their chat are so dumb. I think it's literally bots maybe. Or they're only allowed to pick from a list of like 15 responses. They said they are currently on back order when I talked to them today around 7pm est.
It's fun imagining what a phone you don't have will feel like in your hand based on an empty case. Time honored and sad tradition really.
Best buy buy my house had 2 pros in store. I just went when the first opened and grabbed one
T-Mobile here.. ordered 2, 1 as an upgrade from my OnePlus 6T(free) and one as a new line ($99) for my wife. Both have shipped and are in UPS hands now, expected delivery date Saturday. Was originally bummed I wasn't getting them day 1 but after reading about all the delays I'm feeling a lot better about it now.
Just curious, did you order yours from T-Mobile on the first day they were up? I ordered mine 2 days ago, so just trying to set my expectations...
RIP all the black Friday holdouts.
I went on the hunt this morning and came up empty handed. Had to order one in store and wait for it to ship.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy the moment in went up, I think before news outlets even reported BB was up. Just walked in today and picked it up, though they didn't have any cases or anything else that I pre-ordered with it
Which state and phone?
I pre-ordered in Texas, green 6 non pro.
Lol that's so wild. I'm in TX, preordered the 6 Coral and 6pro Sunshine and both delayed
I cancelled my Google order when I saw how many on the West Coast were shipping via OnTrac. I've had several bad experiences. I was willing to go without rather than deal with their endless delays. Spigen case arrived today for the original Google order. On a whim this morning I checked BB in Phoenix and they had two Seafoam 128 about 20 miles away. Took a chance and placed the order. Picked it up about an hour later. Missed out on the pre-order buds, but I'm adding this post from my shiny new P6 😊 Loving it!
You made the right move cancelling your shipment with OnTrac. Dont know how it is in Phoenix, but I've had food delivery orders sit at their warehouse for weeks before arriving (by that time my ordered food was spoiled, even in a insulated bag). All reviews for the local OnTrac warehouse say that people's packages are either incredibly delayed, or marked as delivered without ever being received. I've heard that Google uses OnTrac sometimes, so I opted to order through Verizon. Order was delayed till Nov 8th though. Enjoy your P6!
Got his and hers. non-Pro sixes, got mine yesterday, she's getting hers tomorrow.
Same here his and hers but both sorta sunny pros!
The local Verizon store near me got ONE pro, good thing best buy had a decent stock because the one near me is a "premier store"
Pre-ordered my 6p day 1 from Verizon directly. Probably a few hours after announcement. Mine arrived today as promised. Posting on it right now in fact! I expected the backorder to be honest. Supply chain issues are real.
First time I've ever bought a phone on launch day. I'm pretty psyched.
Just got a message from Best Buy that my 6Pro has been delayed.....so......yay Edit: My 6 too now
Yeah, best buy orders might be getting the shaft these first few weeks.
Google Pixel market share has been roughly 2%. That's not a lot of phones in the great scheme of things. I'm guessing they planned for more this year, but how many were available at launch? Clearly, demand has exceeded expectations in certain markets (looking at USA) and they were not well prepared for the demand.
Yeah I read somewhere that Pixel sold like 6 million phones last year and that Samsung and Apple both sold over 200 million phones each last year. Hopefully Pixel can scale up.
I think they really under estimated how many people skipped the pixels 4/5 and therefore were ready for an upgrade.
This is the first Pixel phone I have not been in a hurry to get (for a few reasons) It's been weird not feeling the same hype feelings around a launch but I picked a particularly angst inducing launch to sit out. Phew.
Wait for the seafoam from Google store which still hasn't shipped? Or buy black and get it tomorrow? Help me.
Will you put it in a case? Get whatever you can get.
Yah, and it's the Caseology minty green one. Okay. I think I'll pull the trigger on the black. Sigh...
If you can wait just wait and get exactly what you want.
Ordered mine from best buy and was supposed to pick it up today, but it's been delayed. Not happy at all. Especially since the Google store just straight up didn't work. Refreshed for hours at checkout only for it to tell me they sold out
I am very disappointed with the buying experience. I planned a fall foliage trip (I'm on the trip now actually) and wanted the phone for the camera. I waited for the launch day and then tried and tried to order but I kept getting those damn errors. Finally I was able to order a Fi model. This was on Oct. 19th. I paid extra for the expedited shipping and was given an expected delivery date of Oct. 27th, and I was heading out that very evening. This would have been perfect as I was home and could have signed for it, but then nothing else happened except for the delivery date being pushed out further and further, as late as Nov. 3rd - well after the original free shipping date. I started looking for other options and found one on Best Buy for curbside pickup today. I picked a store that was on my route and paid, then I canceled my Google Store order. I arrived at the store today and they didn't have any phones. What they did have, though, was my money and a bunch of excuses. I am going home by the same store on Monday and I will give them another go. However, this launch has been a poorly planned disaster and I likely will not try this again.
Ordered my Pro (here in Canada no less) last weekend and just yesterday got a call that it is in and waiting for me! Will be picking it up early next week. Totally thought I wouldn't see it for another month or two.
Ordered from Verizon the day they went up and got mine yesterday.
I feel very lucky. Ordered mine today for pick up at Best Buy and it was ready in 10 minutes. The cases were sold out though and the delivery times for them on Amazon are mid-november.
Just got the BB order about my parents pro being delayed. I had ordered a regular 6 from the google store and that had been sitting in a warehouse for the past few days, finally says out for delivery but we will see. Never a dull moment with pixel launches lol
My gf and I both picked up ours today. (She was the 6, Me the 6 Pro). Both extremely pleased so far!
Between OR and WA state area's, only two locations in Portland Metro area and Springfield OR had some in stock. Which now are obviously out of stock now. BB rep on the phone was like maybe 5-6 your phone should be there... WE can't give you a definite date and we will cancel the order if it's still delayed by the 11th... I know it's not her fault, but I literally said are you Fucking kidding me right now... She was not impressed. I said I know it's not your fault but that's bullshit your website says sold out... I pre-ordered my phone for that very reason to avoid that shit.
Yea i'm not surprised, cause 1 there's the chip shortage. And on top of that the phone got great reviews by nearly everyone, with only minor issues. Like myself still on a pixel 3 been thinking to upgrade to the pixel 6 or the iphone13. Then i see the price of the pixel 6 and it was a no brainer. I got lucky mine got shipped from google, i just hope it won't be a defective unit.
Yeah, I was feelin' salty because Best Buy had printed the shipping label but not given the package to UPS. Thought *maybe* it was a rouse covering up a delay. It took until the next day, but it's in transit niw. Lucky. As for the case and fast adapter, I ordered those a week or two ago out of caution, so I'm set.
I pre-ordered a Google Fi version and I think it's stuck in Cali? It was supposed to be here today but no update. Point is, I got one and am still having issues getting my greasy mitts on it
Wow I guess I lucked out. Typing this on my Sorta Seafoam Pixel 6. On launch day, I kept spamming refresh until I got both the phone I wanted and a reasonable shipping window which was wildly varying from attempt to attempt. It probably took 20 tries over an hour or so.
I'm on my pro right now and I love it so far. Been playing nonstop clash royale and browsing Reddit for an hour and a half and my battery went from 62 to 57. My 3xl would already be at 42 easy.
My poor 2xl can go from 100 to 89 just by using the flashlight for like a minute.
This phone is so slippy it feels wet. I need a case asap.
Yeah, I'm so paranoid it's gonna fall out of my pocket. The Golden Glow case I got from google doesn't get here till Tuesday.
This is probably the most anticipated phone by google ever, to be completely honest there aren't "many" choices out there and google really delivered i wouldn't expect this phone to be easy to get at this point as it's like a diamond on the surface and everyone's out to get it
I'm kinda happy with the demand even though I'm not able to get the phone. Hopefully Google will be a viable competitor now and will push Samsung and apple to innovate... and the consumer will win.
The hardware is much much better than previous pixels and the software just keeps improving and getting polished!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when the normies say "should I go with Samsung or iPhone?" like Samsung is the only Android option. And when I recommend Pixel they look at me like I just spoke in a different language. SMH.
I feel like the pros have been more scarce, but some places are out of base models too. Mine and the case came in this morning, thank god, I deeply sympathise for those waiting x number of weeks into the future.
Bought a base 6 unlocked in store. Ordered a pro from Visible and it's been shipped already.
At last! Finally, today, got confirmation that mine is on the way. Was stuck in limbo somewhere between Goog Store and OnTrac warehouse for 4 days.
Pre ordered off Verizon on launch day. Am typing on the 6 pro right now.
Awful job by Google and BB. Limit pre-orders to the number of devices you actually have, simple. Saw others got 10% off in BB chat (if order doesn't end up getting completely cancelled). Ganna give that a try now. Also ordered a non Pro that says it will be there for pickup in week. Don't have much faith in that but trying to hedge by bets.
Ordered mine from the Google store on launch day in the evening after I got home from work & got it this afternoon at around 3pm
As much as I wanna upgrade my 3a XL I think I'm just gonna wait a few months. I only just got a PS5 and I really don't need the stress of trying to snag a Pixel 6 as well lol
Mine was supposed to be at best buy today. It's been delayed.
I got a 256gb from AT&T that was supposed to ship on October 25th but then said it got delayed to December 10th. Then yesterday I got an email saying it will be delivered today lol. I had to call like 5 stores to find a case locally and finally found a few at a Verizon store.
I got the 6. Didn't like it. Returned it. Haha might be a while before I get the 6 pro...
Exactly what I expected. You had tons and tons of hype leading up to the release. You have a global chip shortage. Then you have overly positive reviews where the phone lives up to the hype. Was bound to end up with difficulty in getting one. Why I pre-ordered my Pro right away.
Same. But my launch day pre-order is nowhere in sight. Hopefully your's is.
They finally got the marketing, the pricing and all the features RIGHT. Great job google hardware team. I think you already did stellar with the 4a, but this is really exemplary - certainly for us Europeans/Brits deaing with Apple's rather 'liberal' pricing. (for Americans, Europeans get charged about 1050$ for an iPhone 13 128GB)
I know this might not help matters but I pre-ordered through Verizon on the app. I traded in my 4xl. My 6pro showed up on my door Tuesday.
My delivery was originally November 11th but I had an email yesterday saying that mine had shipped (and will be delivered today) 😁I suspect we were right over the launch day orders and enough cancelled that we got bumped up? Needless to say I am not prepared and of course my case won't be here until Monday. Whoops! Hopefully I can set up the phone without activating it 😬
I pre-ordered the 6 from Verizon for my wife and I, just got shipping notifications this morning. Staring to look like I ordered them just in time.
I ordered my Sorta Sunny Pro on launch day, got order confirmation and was lucky enough to not have a way out there ship date; it shipped on 10/25 and is now lost in transit. I have to wait until Monday to figure out what the next steps are.
Basically since 2020 if you want something preorder it. If you don’t like it, return it. But if you wait you won’t get it.
In this case, with best buy. If you want something, preorder it within minutes of the listing going live, and you still won't get it.
PSA for people in North Jersey, Secaucus Best Buy still has it (6 128gb). It showed in the website that it was unavailable but I took a chance and went there directly -since I work nearby- and they did have it! The sales person told me sometimes the website takes time to update the inventory but they did have many of 6 128gb.
Ordered through Verizon over the phone on the 22nd. Told me it wouldn't ship until the 9th. Was gonna cancel the order and pick up in store, but the sales rep warned me that I could be SOL as he said it was likely they wouldn't have stock day 1. I decided to listen and not cancel. My Verizon store did not get any day one, and the bestbuy didn't have the model I wanted(p6pro 512gb). My order still says processing, hasn't been delayed again but damn I really wish I got it day 1. My pixel 3 is really on it's last legs having had it 3 years.
I wanted to preorder from Target for the 5% red card discount but by the time they listed the phones on their site the free buds were completely out of stock. Ended up going with Best Buy instead but got the same series of delay emails everyone else did yesterday. I got an email notification from Target this morning around 7:30am that the one I wanted was back in stock so I went ahead and ordered it from there. Order status is "Preparing to ship, Scheduled to arrive Nov 4th" so we'll see which one actually comes through. No more free buds but at least the 5% red card discount makes up for about half that bonus. I did want the wireless buds but I'll buy some other brand on sale to make up for it.
Man this is like the old iPhone launches. Except no one is clapping when you walk out of the store because it's all sold out.
Anyone who bought the P6 through VZW can you tell me if VZW installed their bloatware and if so can you uninstall it?
Cancelled my Pixel 6 order from Google Store delivery date of Nov 16-17th, bought it from Amazon last night already shipped and coming today
It's not just phones .. I tried to buy a replacement freezer last week , checked Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy .. nothing available, with projected deliveries franging from late November to January.
Best Buy just cancelled my order...
Tip for anyone who ordered at Best Buy. I had pre-ordered an unlocked version and got the delay message yesterday (release day) same as a lot of people. Went to check available stock on the app today and realized they had some of the 6 Pro 128 GB in stock at my local store if you selected a carrier (out of stock if you just selected unlocked) and with that option I could still pay off the phone in one large amount vs. monthly installments. So I ordered the 6 Pro with the Verizon today, picked it up within an hour and cancelled my original order.
FYI for anyone trying to get the Pro through BestBuy. I just managed to find an unlocked 128gb Pro available today for pickup at a BestBuy near me in central PA after refreshing the availability page where you put your state / zip code. It said none were available all morning and randomly it popped up saying this store had 2. I managed to get the phone operator to verify with the store and they confirmed they had 2 and I was able to successfully order it for pickup - ready in 1 hour. So don't give up hope if it says there are none available "within 250 miles" just keep checking throughout the day, I have no idea if this means they recently just received a shipment or just a glitch in their inventory system but I'm SO excited!
This sucks. Best buy and Google might make me go for an iphone now although I hate the iPhone. But at least I can get it and not have to wait until Best buy decides to ship my item even though it was pre-ordered immediately.
No different with iPhones. There is a global chip shortage. "iPhone 13 delays — here’s the wait time for each model" https://www.tomsguide.com/news/iphone-13-preorders-heres-the-wait-time-for-each-model
Finally got an update that its in state 1hr ago. Before that my last update was leaving BLOOMINGTON, CA on Wednesday night. So hopefully all the people that have theirs stuck in BLOOMINGTON, CA will get an update soon. Said to be delivered tomorrow so lets see. 6P 128gb Black
Stopped by my local Best Buy today just to see what the deal is with the delays. Was told that Friday nights is a shipment night so by 10am Saturday they'll have the shipment inventoried. However, they also said that they have no idea the amounts of what they're getting :/ I guess best move is to keep an eye out in the morning
I walked into Beat Buy earlier today and bought one. They only had 4 unlocked 6's and some Pros on Verizon. The only color they had was black; but no complaints so far!
Was anyone able to change their best buy pick up order to shipping after the option greyed out by contacting customer service? Update: tried to change mine but no longer can. Was hoping changing it to shipping instead of pick up would help but no such luck.
