Preorder Live - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Pre-order just went live on Amazon US. To select the phone only, you need to purchase the bundle and go back into your previous orders and delete the case. 128gb at $349 shipping on the 20th.

Has anyone else found it for sale?

Pre-Order also live on Google Store, same price. Just ordered. "Delivered By" date of Aug 18 or 19.

I pre-ordered one too sick of spending $1000 or more and I really do not need bleeding edge speed "and no 5G which is not going to be a big deal for years"
It will do everything say a Samsung S20 can do "maybe slower" but at a third of the price.
Also I am looking forward to 3 years of instant updates.
I had to procrastinate a bit my delivery date is Sept 10

I pre-ordered from the Google store. I like the idea of a basic phone with consistent updates like my PH-1.

Had to order one too. Wonder who else is gonna be developing for this phone ?

Josh Chasky from DU bought one, that's a great sign

Nice, might actually have some good support here instead of kang roms with no source posted. I'll do what I can for device bringup and such, should be way easier on here compared to oneplus devices.

Man, this might very well be the most exciting Android (or just Google specifically) smartphone since the Nexus 4 era. Aside from the somewhat worrying battery capacity this just looks like an absolute musthave of a device

is there any possibility that google ships out preorders earlier than the expected delivery date?

I ordered a Pixel 4a from Amazon US on 4th of August, now Amazon US shows order received and currently unavailable. My order details says Not yet shipped..We'll email you when available. Should I contact Amazon for more details or it is normal?

I received an email 2 days ago with an estimated arrival date of the 24th. As the OP, I ordered my phone at 6am on the 3rd so I would think I was near the front of the line. My account also shows that it has not yet shipped, but will arrive by 8pm on the 24th.
I would more than likely contact Amazon so that you know if you need to jump to the play store. Sorry to hear about the annoying Amazon shipping challenges.

I think they'll send an email when they ship it. Just got the email they're sending the trade-in kit. I selected expedited shipping so I should get the phone by September 11th

I am living in Europe. I can't purchase the device directly from US Play store. I had only one option to order it from Amazon US. I also paid around 120 US dollars extra for AmazonGlobal Priority shipping and Import Fees deposit. I ordered my phone at 4 Aug 2020, 22:48pm. Yesterday I ordered a Spigen case for Pixel 4a arriving date is August 24 -Tuesday, September 1.
Amazon US haven't charged me yet. So I am hoping to receive something about Pixel 4a from Amazon. ?

Sounds good. Hopefully they will send an email about shipping.

I also ordered from Amazon on 8/4 they still haven’t charged me ! I’m hoping to get it next week ?

Amazon doesn't charge until an item ships. The pre-order date in the US at the time I ordered was Aug 24. It's unclear whether that is Amazon's ship date or the date I should receive it since Google is releasing it on Aug 20. I expect to actually have the phone in hand as late as Aug 26. It doesn't matter to me when I get it. It's useless to me until TWRP is available.

So looks like there is hope if you pre-ordered from Google early it may be delivered earlier than the 20th... keeping fingers crossed.

I ordered from Amazon for the 5% credit I get on purchases with their credit card and the 30 day return policy, not that I plan on returning it, but still. I also got the 24th as a delivery date but I bet it will be before that. I think I remember Amazon shipping phones before Google in the past but not sure about that. It would be nice if they shipped early, we've been waiting for this thing for half a freakin' year! It's gonna be a good phone.

Received updated email from AMZ this morning. Delivery date of Aug 24. I suspect they may use UPS for these, and they don't deliver on weekends for 2-day.

I ordered the afternoon of the 26th. I haven't received an email from merimobiles yet.
What did you guys order the Malta unit? If so why no the Viewsonic which seems to be lower priced?
Dude-They are talking about the docking station, not the tablet.
Nothing for me yet.

I ordered mine on the 26th -- got an "Your order has shipped" email on Jan. 6th
I get the impression that they are working through a backlog -- but you may want to contact them to get a status JIC
I ordered my dock on 1/5/2011, so I guess that I shouldn't expect anything soon.
It looks as if they are using drop shipping for the docks. They must wait until they get enough orders to get a volume discount from the supplier. Then the supplier ships them to the individual buyer. They don't even touch the docks, but handle the sale and make a profit.
I'm with the group who got emails for the 26th. I wonder where they are now. I keep hoping to see another update.

Merimobiles.com Customer Service?
... or the lack of?
I ordered mine dock on 1/3/11, order was processed and my card was charged on 1/5/11; got 2 emails to confirm that.
Since then, two + weeks later, their web site states: Order Processing(?)
No response to two of my emails, no one picks up their phone, goes to VM rightaway and no calls back from them.
Was anybody able to speak to a live person there or gotten a response to their emails?
I am sorry to hear about everyone's troubles with receiving the dock. It sucks when you pay for something and then having to wait for what seems like forever.
If you guys get tired of waiting for the one you've already paid for from this company, there are a couple of guys in the gTab forums that have ordered in bulk and are sitting on some right now. And, at least one of them ships the same day he gets the payment.
Just thought this was worth mentioning.
I paid for 2 through it2steve yesterday and he send tracking number very quickly. I think we're both in the DFW area so maybe I'll get them tomorrow?
Same here. He's quick and helpful.
I ordered 1 from it2steve yesterday, i have a tracking # today and should have by Saturday if not sooner.
I ordered 2 docks from MeriMobiles on the 26th of December as well. I sent them an e-mail last week for an update and finally received a response today. I also finally received a tracking number that the package was shipped on the 15th but that it could take 10 - 14 days to receive.
I wonder how much business this company has lost due to its lousy customer service. I was going to file a dispute with Paypal if I hadn't heard something by tomorrow.
ordered mine on the 26th I haven't seen anything They sure took my money fast though lol.

Shipping date

I did a search and I couldn't find a thread regarding this.
Some sights say that the Pixel 2 will ship in a month. However, my order says it will ship on the 18th. How likely is it that Google will actually ship it the 18th? Have others been given a different shipping date? I need a new phone fast. I may be forced to use my N6 due to increasingly poor reception (LTE and GPS) on my Pixel XL.
ordered mine on Monday and it's shipping Oct 30th. the first batch will be out by release day
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Release date is the 19th (I think)
Google will ship 17th/18th
Ordered mine through Project Fi. Ship date is Oct. 24

I ordered both the pixel 2 and the pixel 2 XL. Both are in Black. The pixel 2 says shipping the 18th but the pixel 2 XL says the 24th. To headphone dongle says the 24th as well.
I ordered through a corporate Verizon account and the purchase order and it says "Deliver by Oct 19th". So I'll guess we'll just have to wait until next week to find out.
I'm assuming the dates next week are accurate for orders placed shortly after pre-order was available. Ordered mine a week ago and I have an expected ship date of 10/17, deliver by 10/18-19.
Canada sales representative told me October 20th pre ordered it today
Believe color is also an issue. I ordered when not to long after pre-order announcement and got 11/19 for shipping.
The appears to be a couple week wait prior right now. I ordered (2) black 64g Pixel 2's on October 9th through Google Fi and was given an estimated delivery date of the 30th. I have to admit that this is the first time I'm jumping on the leading edge so I'm hoping for a great device.
My ship date says 18th and should be delivered on the 20th for the black and for my wife's white one delivery is slated for the 2nd of November.
I ordered the Just Black 128GB variant early this past Tuesday morning, and it gave me a shipping date of October 17th with an arrival date of October 20th - 23rd. I looked into the so-called "Panda" (It could be an Orca or Snoopy color too, maybe like my JRT or BT :laugh 2 XL as well, and it gave me a shipping date of 7 - 8 weeks, while the solid black variant of the 2 XL gave a shipping date of 2 - 3 weeks.
Mine ships Oct 17, delivery 19 or 20th
I ordered a black xl this morning and got a delivery date of November 1. I hope they ship it sooner.
I ordered a white pixel 2 64GB on 10/4... says shipping on 11/13. I just went to the site to see what the ship dates are for new orders... a new order says shipping on 10/22. WTF? Should I cancel my original order and re-order? Are they smart enough to ship in the order the orders were received?
Ordered minutes after page was available. Pixel 2 - White model and black model. Ships 17th receive 18th~19th

I would email them directly or call, and see what they say. I'm hoping they just miscalculated your original shipping date.

I called support. They said not to cancel the original order - orders will be shipped in batches. The dates appear to mean absolutely nothing. Ridiculous system. This is not confidence inspiring.

They have always had shipping issues with Nexus then Pixel phones. They simply can't handle the [small] volume of early orders. Some nexus threads had people calling for Google's head. Their 'shipping blocks' means nothing. People got their phones days ahead of others even though they ordered days or weeks later.
Mine says ships on the 17, but then delivery on the 25-26th...

First day of sale

Based on experience with previous models Oneplus will be hard tommorow (22 may) to buy this phone on official website in Europe?
Will be enough supply to buy it during the day? Or should I hurry and buy it in the moment when sell start? How do you think?
And happened it what I expected. There were so many problems with buying OP6 today...
I couldn't log in. And at 10:10 256Gb version was out of stock.
I hardly bought it about 13 o'clock but I have delivery time for 30 may!
How are you guys?
was going to say buy it right away, would suck not having it for the weekend
then saw your 2nd post, ouch
So I see that I'm not alone with so long estimated date of delivery...
I bought with priority shipment. In my country was for free.
Ordered 256GB this morning around 10am, shipping tomorrow, estimated delivery Friday. I paid $7 for Priority shipping but got 5% (about $36) student discount. So not that bad. This will be my first One PLus device, can't wait to receive it.
I had no problems ordering in the US. All models still seem to be in stock here. It's surprising as my prior experience with OnePlus on the opening day of sales is that it is does sell out fast. :good:

My first one too! I had to work but had my wife order it for me. She had no issues and I even waited till after lunch to tell her to pull the trigger. All versions was still in stock at that time.
Yep, got the 256 model. It already shipped it and will be here Thursday (24th). US store.
If you buy today ships is immediately. If you bought yesterday estimated time delivery 30 may. Crazy
I had some problems ordering the Midnight Black 128GB variant in Austrian store, but it ended up being delivered tomorrow.
Strange thing is that I got Priority shipping for free. Don't know why but I like it!
Nice supprise.
I had estimated delivery date for 30 may but my package was shipped during the night and will be tommorow
Great Oneplus
And I have priority shipment for free
Same here, 256gb ordered on 05/22 at 10.13am, shipped 05/22 6pm, will be delivered on 05/24. Considering this is my first experience dealing with One Plus, it's impressive how quickly they are shipping the phones.
Logged in at 10am in the US. No issues buying 8gb/128gb midnight model. It's shipping today and will receive by Friday the 25th and may get it tomorrow. At 10:30, the sale page said ships in 3 days. So if you didn't get on it right away, it's going to take a week or more to get it
Interesting, placed the order 7:02am (PST) for the midnight black 8/256 and my estimated arrival date is May 30. Oh well.

I think they will shipt it tommorow the same like our packages with 30 may estimated delivery date. So don't worry
Ordered at 10:01 256GB on 22 may. FedEx alerted me of a shipment to my address yesterday evening while I was at work, arriving tomorrow. I redirected the shipment to a FedEx holding facility (Walgreens) Incase it gets to my house after I leave for work.
Overall a great experience.

I had no problem ordering 8-128 Midnight yesterday, delivery Friday.
I did get a notification that I would receive free shipping on the 22nd, and it will say it will be shipped tomorrow (24th) with an EST time of the 29th or 30th. I think its a bit longer for the US because Monday the 28th is Memorial Day...

It's all good. I am not complaining. And yes as another poster above me noted, the 28th is a US holiday, so that will delay by one extra day. No clue what customs does when they suddenly get an influx of Hong Kong bases shipments.
Mine shows today as DHL EX getting shipping info, so likely it's on it's way HK time Thursday.
In Canada no issues with stock.
I got my 256gb version, now I need twrp before op6 is usable.
Lucky we, already have unlocked bootloader, root, exposed and only twrp separates from using this new phone.

When will samsung start shipping Note 20 Ultra

I have heard Samsung previously shipping pre-orders earlier then release date.
When you guys think we will start receiving ours?
Launch day is 21st August (certainly in the UK and US) they usually ship by courier the previous day, so expect a tracking number on the 20th.
Samsung used to release it a day earlier (and a week earlier in the distant past) if you ordered direct from them, but I haven't seen this being the case for a long time now.
In the USA, they use FedEx. If you create a FedEx account you can monitor inbound shipments.
Usually, you will find these pending well ahead of release. Accessories are usually 1 pound and the phone 2 pounds.
Also when reserving with a credit card there is usually a hold upon preordering. Make sure you see this AND check your order status within 24 hours. If the card rejects the hold for any reason, (Samsung) will CANCEL your order. This happened to me because I used an expired card. (duh) I did not check to find the order CANCELED until a few days later and the shipping date slipped. This was the S20 Ultra. I don't think these phones are going to sell out that fast (or at all) you know with what's going on in the world, right?
In any case, usually these FedEx shipments show up early. Typically they will start moving right around when the charge is placed on the card. When a shipper creates a shipment in their system and it posts to FedEx you will see it even though no package has been shipped. It just shows something is going on with your order. Sometimes you will see several tracking numbers with some getting canceled. Perfectly normal.
I suspect some activity by mid week (this week) and movement by the time next weekend is over. Some may get theirs a day or two early.
Apple likes to troll users by handing packages off to the courier with instructions NOT to deliver before (release date). So you see it scheduled for delivery on a Tuesday (release day Friday in this example) and when Tuesday comes the tracking is updated with instructions to hold until Friday. I hate that!
My LED wallet case already shipped and is supposed to arrive today. I had a pending charge on my CC that disappeared yesterday. I called CS and was told the order is still moving forward, but I am checking Order Status on Sammy's website every day. I'll probably see the charge back on the CC before I get the FedEx shipping notice.
I ordered from Samsung in Canada and they sent an email it would ship August 17th.

My case shipped from Irving , Tx. Not sure where the Ultra will originate. Where do Canada orders originate for shipping?
Samsung ships all orders for Canada from Ontario and BC, you never know where your order will come from.
S20 Ultra shipped to me almost a week before shipping date
Yep

My emailed receipt is date 8/5 at 12:30 pm but it has no estimated ship date that I can see. When I check Samsung Shop on my phone, it says ships by 8/19.
i received a shipping notice from FedEx on 8/11, with an expected shipping date and delivery date of Aug 17 and Aug 19, respectively. FYI, i verified this notice is tied to my pre-order number issued by Samsung. All of this is subject to change until the device is physically shipped. (the Samsung shipping location is 8.5 miles and 16 minutes from my home. . in the past, items from that location have arrived next day and other 2 days later).
My FedEx account is now showing a shipment from Samsung to be delivered on the 19th from Coppell. 4lb box so I guess it will be with the extra items I ordered with the preorder bonus.
I just ordered mine yesterday, so my order is still "created" not processed. But it still shows an expected ship date of August 19th.
I know last year I got my Note 10+ a day early. Hopefully this one arrives a day or two early as well, but who knows. As long as I receive it on the 21st, I'll be happy.
Does anyone know when the carriers start shipping?
FedEx says ship 17th, arrival on 19th. From past experience, how accurate is that? I need to juggle my schedule round to WFH that day in order to sign for the phone. Just want to make sure that will indeed be THE day before I go to the trouble! (shipping from TX, am in PA, if it matters)

You can redirect pickup to work or other places like Walgreens.
I've done that with Walgreens before, just stop by, show ID and they pull it out of a locker and had it to you.
Takes the guessing game out of it and when you get home you have it in hand.

I'm already feeling sick on Wednesday lol
For T-mobile I have pre-ordered the S series phone and this is the first note. Typically we would see cards charged Thirsday the week before release. Then Friday and Saturday they stage for shipping and let phones go to UPS on Monday. Sometimes I would get delivery on Tuesday but usually would be Wednesday before release. There shipping facility is out of Kentucky and you can pretty much map the route using flight aware to determine what flight it will take.
Just got my watch 3 delivered. I still won't be home till next weekend. Phone still shows estimated ship on 17th with delivery on 19th. Based on weight (4lbs) I am thinking the buds live, case, and UV sanitizer are with it as well.
My Ultra 5G will be delivered on or before the 29th of August 2020 as per my telco provider. This will be my second version of the Note and my second time using a Samsung mobile phone. My last Galaxy Notes were the Note 2.

Current Shipping Dates? Weirdness

After waffling between a 4a 5G and a 5 I finally pulled the trigger on a 5 during the Black Friday sale for $50 off. I had also hoped by waiting that Google would resolve the screen glue issue. Order date was Nov 30. Retiring my old 2 XL, but would have kept it for another year if updates kept coming.
My listed shipping dates have always been Dec 29-30. From time to time I've checked the store for current shipping dates, and the phone has actually been out of stock for a couple weeks, but they did have stock for Fi and Verizon with almost immediate shipping. I last checked yesterday.
Early this morning I received notice from my credit card company that Google finally charged my card. My shipping dates are still listed as Dec 29-30. I decided to check if the phone was back in stock, and if so, what current shipping dates are. Yup, back in stock, shipping dates for current orders listed as Dec 16-19. During the time it took to write this post, shipping dates changed and just now listed as Dec 23-25. Both these dates are obviously earlier than my listed shipping dates.
I suspect they just received a new batch from manufacturing and my phone is about to ship, but the changing dates are a bit weird and I've never experienced that before. I'm usually a first day, first minute orderer for my Pixels and I'm used to being in the first shipments.
Anyone else get charged overnight? Did your shipping dates get updated?
A few months ago I bought a 4a pre-order and I got stuck with a later shipment than many people. I was not too worried and it arrived when it was supposed to but I also didn't get the charge until it was ready to go like usual.
If it's coming FedEx ground they're probably calculating that in right now -- the real issue is once the label is made and sent to FedEx, if that's today, then by tomorrow you should know what the real ETA is
are they doing USPS? lots of people been getting delay on USPS shipment.
I did standard (free) shipping. Who knows? I'm waiting for Google Store support chat right now. I started at #169 in line. It's going down at a rate of about 1 per minute. Sheesh. Current shipping dates for new orders showing Dec 25-29. My order is still just showing "Ordered".
I had a similar issue but found out some great answers from a customer service rep. I also was quoted a late December delivery when I placed my order in late November. Mine shipped early because their new shipments for fi arrived early.
This is how it goes.... its crazy.
They will temporarily charge your card if you move up in the order "queue". They will then refund the money into your account a few days later after they verify the funds are available. This means the order is getting ready to get processed finally.
You will finally be charged the due amount when the order finally goes to the warehouse for shipping.
They wont permanently charge your account until the phone is sent to shipping. If they haven't refunded the money into your account I would bet that your phone ships very soon.
I was getting tired of the late shipping times and lack of answers so i created a reddit ticket. My phone shipped 24 hours later. Give that a try if things dont go well.
Hope this makes sense.
Over an hour later and I am #82 in line. Had to plug in the laptop!
Finally had a chat.....answer was basically, yeah you're right, newer orders are shipping before yours. We can cancel your $50 off order and you can re-order at full price for earlier shipping. Uh....no....I'll wait, and just stew about it. That's a pretty good summary of the chat. Not too happy.
So.....interesting developments this morning.
I awoke to an e-mail from Google, posted below.
**************************
Hi **********,
Thanks for contacting Google!
As promised, I'm sending this email to you.
This email is in reference to the chat conversation we had today regarding your order status- ******Order Number*********
I'd like to assure you that your order is perfectly fine from our end.
It will get delivered within the time frame- Dec 29, 2020 - Dec 30, 2020
And it'll get shipped a couple of days before that.
You'll also receive a shipping confirmation email once it'll be out from our end.
Stay assured, you'll get your hands on it very soon.
For the inconvenience, I'll be adding $50 to your Store Credits.
Also, I am sorry for the long wait that you experienced but thank you for your kind understanding and patience.
I would like to offer you extra $10.00 Store credit as a good will gesture.
You may check that by visiting the link *****This was a hyperlink****
In case of any discrepancy, please feel free to reply to my email, I'll be right here for your assistance.
Stay assured, I've taken full ownership of your case.
Thanks!

***************************************************************
The link took me to Google Pay which showed nothing, but when I checked the Store, I did, in fact, have a $60 credit, which expires on 12/31/2021.
Not only that.....today I received notice that my order has shipped through Fedex, with an arrival date of 12/21/2020. It's shipping from Carol Stream, IL. In the past all my phones have shipped from about 20 miles away from me.
So I have gone from being very unhappy and questioning my loyalty to Google products to being very happy. I think I am going to use my credit for a Pixel Stand, but maybe a new Nest Audio, but I've got so many Google Homes (full size and minis) and Chromecast products that I really don't need anything but the Stand. I also suspect the Stand, which is WAY overpriced, will go on sale again relatively soon. So we'll see.
In any case, I wanted to be fair to Google. I'm very happy with the way they handled this.
Ordered from Google France on 15 Dec, shipped on 16, arrived today.
