Question Delivery dates!

[MarkStinger]

Fedex has lost my package.

I've spent several days trying to get answers out of them and today they tell me they haven't delivered my phone because they can't find it. Last update was Friday when it was on a truck for delivery. Supposed to be delivered last Wednesday. Then eventually said today and now my tracking status shows no date.

Google also has been ignoring me. They claimed they'd get back to me in a couple days and that was 3+ days ago.

What's the difference between the Unlocked and Fi versions of these phones? I can't find the Unlocked anywhere else and I'm worried my current order is lost for good. Who knows how long before I'll get refunded. If the Fi version is basically the same I may take a chance ordering that. Ahhhhhh!!!

Just ordered today P6P from my carrier and it's backordered with ETA of 6-8 weeks

And I ended up getting it this last Friday

6-8 weeks turned into 9 days! Sorry for everyone else's delays. I didn't really plan to get it this soon, wanted to see if any development or anything happened over next month or two!

FedEx finally admitted they destroyed my package. Google just now said they are refunding me. No phone. Nothing for all the attempts I tried getting them to take responsibility for the lost/destroyed phone. I have been trying to get them to resolve this for close to two weeks. Got a refund and no phone.

First order on 11/05 - Canceled due to delays
Second order on 11/14 - Canceled on 12/05

Latest order on 12/05
Shipped on 12/08
Delivery by 12/14-12/15
Destroyed by FedEx

Best of luck to everyone else.

that's sucks I`m in Michigan too, and I had order the 256gb stormy this last weekend the Jan 1st, and heck showed it would be Jan 5-6 for delivery, and I knew all the issues with Fedex shipping, so I took a chance and I placed order for the 6 pro, then for a case in a separate order that was placed later that day, and both shipped monday, in 2 separate shipments from carol Stream IL, once they both showed up as picked, it says they were delayed, lucky my 6 pro was delivered the 5th and in the other shipment was my phone case, apparently FEDEX screwed the pooch on that and its traveling through New Mexico as I type this, heading way west, instead of coming to Michigan.

Ordered my stormy black 256 GB 6 Pro on Jan 1. Expected delivery is Feb 02-03
Oh well I can admire my new Spigen Rugged Armor case while I wait
Hopefully the delivery gets revised to a more favorable time frame.

Looks like I'll be replacing my beloved Galaxy Note9 for a P6Pro... Waiting for the 512GB version to be vailable for now though becvause without a microSD slot, I'll need all the storage I can get...

Aaaand it just became available... Ordered mine with a February 22-24 delivery date.

Fxxk Google, I ordered a white 6 pro on 22 Nov and ETA on 30 Dec.
ETA then delayed to 4 Jan 2022.
then on 4 Jan, it told me that my order was cancelled.

Ever since the Pixel 1, I was holding out on buying another for Google to come out with a 256 GB model. By the time they did, I needed a 512 GB model minimum. I'm so happy that the P6P has that although Google should jump ahead a bit and go for 1 TB next time, so I can fit my FLAC music and my Swift app backups on my local storage at the same time.

Or they could, ya know, have a microSD card slot...

I think I'll miss that about my Note9 even more than the headphone jack...

As with every other compromise, I assume Samsung holds it over Google's head not to be *too* good, keeps them from adding certain technology so that they're not too competitive with Samsung's own phones, in exchange for Samsung selling Google the parts they're willing to for the Pixels to be built.

Of course, Samsung is making the MicroSD slot much rarer, too. Really sucks...

That's why I decided on the pixel over something like the Note20, at this point there's really not much difference and at least the pixel gets regular updates.

Expected delivery of Feb 02-03 changed to Jan 27-31 and now to Mar 03-04. Sent the charger/stand back for refund and will cancel the phone order in the next several days.
The ongoing delivery issues and the external DAC compatibility issues are the final straw for me. Sorry I sold my S20+ too quickly. Glad to still have my trusty old LG G7 (with an excellent internal DAC) as a backup unit until I decide what to do.
The soon to be released OnePlus 10 Pro looks like an interesting alternative.

Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with the delivery date getting pushed back like 6-8 weeks? I was scheduled for first week of Jan, then end of January and this morning they put me in the 15-16 Mars??? I am fully aware of chip shortages, ports being backloged and what not, but what kind of riddiculous customer service is that? I need a phone not in 3 months but right now. Why not give a 5 months estimates in the first place, then I'd know to get something else in the meantime.

 

[hand-filer]

I can't tell you what's going on but I'm in the same situation. Ordered one on Jan 1 and just got the revised Mar 15-16 delivery update.
I sold my perfectly good S20+ in anticipation for this phone only to be disappointed time and time again with ever increasing delays. The phone order was cancelled this morning and the charger/stand is being dropped off at UPS this afternoon.
Personally I'm kind of relieved about it as the more I read the more I believe the 6 series is a half baked product that isn't ready for prime time.
