Lol. Everyone must have received the shipping notification at the same time. I looked on Reddit and saw the same thing.

Nipped into EE (shudder) and had a look at the Pixels. Typically, they were bolstered down so I couldn’t even pick one up.
The phones look great. I almost mistook the Pro for the regular 7 as the curve is definitely less pronounced now than the 6. It also feels like there’s more of a flat ‘side’ rather than a total curve which is how the 6 Pro felt.

Couldn’t do anything else with it and it had the awful display software running, so will reserve judgement until I get mine.

The Watch was also there. Again, bolstered down so couldn’t pick up. Looked nice enough!

Roll on Thursday.
I had an interesting experience at BestBuy. They had the 7 Pros attached to their security cables that you can typically pick up, but somehow picking it up triggered the theft alarm. They all ran over giving me the weird look like I was trying to steal it...

The BB i went to did not have any Pixel 7 on display. But they had a display with the Pixel name all over it!
So I asked they said the security alarms kept going off so the pull all of the Pixels 7s from the display. GEESH...what a fiasco....

Yeah. There was one voice of reason among all the BestBuy staff that said "it's ok, the alarm keeps going off". Made me feel a bit better, but I got a little too self conscious and just left. Lol

Seems like most of us across the world who have ordered direct from Google have our parcels ready to go but Google haven’t pressed the button!!

Wouldn’t you think they’d do the right thing and just give them to us a few days early! 😛

When I made my preorder it said delivery was Oct 13-14th. Google in the US does 2 day delivery with FedEx, at least that's who's delivered all my Pixel's. I looked at my order status and it still shows 13th - 14th delivery.

Yeah different over here. DPD notified a lot of UK orders that they were expecting their parcel over the weekend for delivery Monday! But google are holding back.

Also, I believe UPS is delivering a lot of US orders from what I read.

Oooo. Just had a DPD notification. It’s coming tomorrow. Don’t know which one… 7 or 7 Pro. But one will be here! 😁

EDIT!! It’s lies. This is the 7. Not pro. And it’s the same notification I got on Sunday that said my Pro would be here Monday. Just the standard DPD message. Ahh got my hopes up then! 😅😂

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to upgrade my 6 to a 7. My p6 is currently just a backup for my fold4. Best buy will give $480 which is $30 more than a paid for my 6 in the first place so I'm tempted! Just not sure it's worth the hassle.

Meanwhile, my order from Currys is steady. I am expecting next Monday while it is said to be delivered on 13th. I ordered within an hour of pre-order launch too. But I can manage my expectation as I am adult. Or may be not

We both have this under control by the sounds of it 😅
