Its blowing my mind that their store is still down. How have they not figured this out yet? Or are some people finally getting through?
 
Have my pre-order in at BestBuy and now just got an email that an order went thru just now at Google (despite me no longer trying). I have a feeling stuff is gonna get ugly. Who knows how many orders of mine will go thru?
 
Purchase just confirmed (Coral), US Store ~2 min ago
(and got the email confirming - buds come first then
phone arrives ~ Nov 11th)

Since Google started selling phones, they have been bad (like really bad) at actually selling them on launch day. For all the gripes we have with Apple, they are literally the only place that can sell you a product even if you can’t get shipment on launch week.
 
As long as orders are placed within a couple of hours, I can't see any of the Pixels being on a huge backorder. And then it tends to be the most sought after colours like the Sage 5 or Orange 4/4XL.

I'll have the Google store, Amazon & CPW webpages open during the event and will be amazed if I can't get the configuration I want.
Well don't I look like a **** 😂
 
I was charged by Google and got an order confirmation but it's not showing up in my order history. This about 30 minutes after I stopped trying to order after having never successfully completed the transaction.

All of Google's computing power and they couldn't get a phone launch right.

Hopefully they get roasted in the Tech. press for this.
 
I can’t even get into my account to confirm my order was canceled. I got an email that my trade in was canceled but the email won’t load!

I managed to place an order for Sage green 256 gb with sage green case and pixel buds with the grey tops because they’re out of white and have been for awhile. This made my trade in on my green 12 mini cheaper. I figure green phone for green phone. Coral wasn’t available in 256 gb.

I may cancel this preorder. If Google doesn’t cancel it first. They are apparently handing out order cancellations like candy.

Did they not foresee this? I think they did and just don’t give two figs. It’s all going into the hype machine that demand was insane.

No zoom so that’s a bummer. Display is different from that of my 13 pro so that may cause me problems.

I’m just curious to see if they cancel this one.

Got 90% done with my selection get to the payment page and when I go to pay "we're sorry, Coral is out of stock", now all my other options ship around Thanksgiving....

Giving up on Google officially. Will re-evaluate options such as Best Buy or others after the phone is released. Just stupid .

I guess the benefit for me will be to wait out and see if this series has hardware issues. I didn't have any with my selections back in the 2 and 3 days, but I also chose smaller models in simple configurations.

What a giant Clustertruck. I've been on the confirm purchase page for over two hours. Everything now is out of stock. I decided to cancel my order with Amazon. Screw you Google. I updated my Pixel 4a and 4a 5G to Android 12. I check out your phones when both my phones no longer get updates.
 
I have gotten 3 cancellations from google so far for them being unable to "validate my information" despite not having a single order go through or show up in my order history. I am going to have to keep a close eye on my credit card for awhile.
 
Lol. Are y’all new to Pixel launches? Why is anyone surprised the launch is a disaster? This has been happening for many years.

My Curry's order says item will be despatched when they have stock - which may just be preorder speak.
But I worry that Google will maybe fulfil their own store orders first and I'll be left waiting haha
