Just got a Google email saying my order has shipped via FedEx from Carol Stream IL.

Ordered a P8Pro 256gb and Watch 2 LTE both in Bay Blue, with expedited shipping. I ordered genuinely one or two minutes after the page went up, so you can bet I’m excited as hell!

Edit: FedEx has my package with an ETA of tomorrow, October 11! Currently estimated one day early!

    Eta on shipping? I ordered mine like a few seconds after it went live and mine still says “prepared for shipping” hopefully it ships soon.

      FedEx doesn’t have my package yet, so still no definitive delivery date.

      Google appears to use FedEx Standard Overnight shipping for Expedited orders (at least to my region), so that should be next day shipping once FedEx gets the package.

      I’m gonna guess maybe they’ll release the package to FedEx tomorrow so I can get it on the 12th? If they ship it today, I’ll have it tomorrow on the 11th.

      I hate FedEx, but at least their Express delivery drivers and logistics seem less prone to theft and delay than FedEx ground.

        Weird. I have nothing in fed ex, but I have like 5 in ups. I don’t know what they are. They all have different tracking numbers. I only know one of them is the trade in kit. Eta for all of them is tomorrow though. They still say ups is awaiting package though. Hopefully they release it today so I get it tomorrow.

          It certainly looks like packages are scheduled to go out today - that lines up with the “12th-13th” estimate google gave me for ground shipping. Maybe they delay shipping for Expedited customers, though.

          I don’t have a trade in, so I only have the one package (and my Google store page says it’s all arriving in one package). My FedEx account updated almost exactly the same time I got my email, so I got no advanced notice either.

          I suspect you’ll have to wait for Google to send you the “shipped” email in order to confirm your package is actually scheduled to be shipped.

            Most likely. Pretty excited to be swapping back to pixel. Hoping it goes out today and arrives tomorrow, I have expedited shipping as well. Been “prepared for shipping” since Friday or so.

              FedEx has my package! Currently estimated to arrive tomorrow, which is one day early!

              Hope they post the factory images tomorrow - I like getting my phone set up from scratch with the newest day one patch.

    Lol, both my wife’s and my p8p delivered today, both had signature required. I was working on laundry and heard my doorbell ring. By the time I got to the front door and opened it, the fedex driver was already on his way out of my street.

    At least both were accounted for and no issues with the shipment.

    I got my notification that it would be delivered today yesterday at about 5pm or so. Everything happened pretty quickly.

    Happy new phone day everyone!

      How’s the speakers on it? I’m supposed to get my 8 pro tomorrow but waiting on the shipping label still.

        Eh, they seem fine, maybe an improvement in bass response over my pixel 6 pro. They aren’t knock-your-socks-off better, but they’re decent. Pixel 6 pro had decent ones also, so definitely a bit of an improvement.

        Edit - just tried them in Netflix vs YouTube which is what I tested prior to replying to you. Netflix is MUCH louder than YouTube for some reason. Definitely louder and more dynamic range than the 6 pro.

    Just was notified this AM that my P8P is enroute and should be here today. Though, it is FedEx and they don’t have the best track record for meeting their estimates. Package is coming from Carol Stream, IL to SE WI.

    Edit: and just like that, it got changed back to the 12th.

      I haven’t gotten an email but ups does show several packages coming from Google. They all say label created, hopefully it actually goes out today.
