Well, as I'm assuming the announcement will come either today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday), I just had a few questions, since I've never pre-ordered a phone before. When you pre-order does that mean you can only receive it through the mail, or can I pre-order it online, and get it set aside for me at a local store?

The only pre-order I ever did (Droid X) can via fedex to my office. No option was given to get at the store.

the idea of preordering a phone is so that you receive it in the mail the same day it's available to buy in stores. maybe a little earlier if there's a mistake in shipping.
Has anyone that ordered their Pixel from Google received their code for the Daydream View yet? Says on the Google Store that is will ship in 2-3 weeks. Just curious.
we get the code 4 weeks after purchase, read the email they sent you after your preorder.
Thanks for being one of the first to order Pixel, a phone by Google. Because you made your purchase during the pre-order period, you're eligible to receive the new Daydream View virtual reality headset on us.
Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping, you will receive a promo code via email which you can use to redeem your Daydream View on Google Store, as long as you didn't cancel your order or return your Pixel phone. Full terms of the promotion can be found below.*
Get ready to experience high-quality, immersive VR with your Pixel and Daydream View.
Sincerely,
The Google Store Team

To be fair, "Within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping" could mean anytime between the day your phone ships and six weeks from then.
I could've sworn I had already received the code and submitted my receipt to Verizon. But now I can't find the email to save my life
I had received the code and submitted my claim. It says that they received my information and said try back in a week. This is threw vzw not Google tho.

Have any of you heard anything about your complimentary Daydream VR unit that early Pixel adopters are supposed to receive?

All I got was the confirmation email on Oct 6.
Says 4 weeks after shipping I should receive a code for the headset
I talked to a Verizon chat person on their website. They gave me the code and I finished filling everything out. Says 3 weeks for shipping.

Same here. I received a tracking number and it said about 2 weeks.
all I got was an email saying I should receive another email soon with a code. Other than that, I haven't received anything.
I haven't heard anything from the Google store yet

Did you order your Pixel XL directly from Google?
No. Verizon.

I got an email from Verizon yesterday. Sounds to me like they're sending a gift card, and I then have to order the Daydream VR

Missed a UPS package from Verizon today. Anyone know if it might be the Daydream? Anyone get theirs today? The only other thing it could be is a return box for my note 7, so I'm not sure. Seems awful quick to be the VR headset. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Also, it requires signature, so hopefully it's the Daydream.
Got my phone from google store and the email said "within approximately four weeks of your phone shipping". So that could be before or AFTER it was shipped.

The email I received noted that I would receive promo code to redeem. I don't think they are sending them automatically but sending codes and then you would have to order it from store.

Sorry. Talking about the promo code... Anyone know what the official release date is? It is not stated anywhere.

Yea, I wasn't sure how to interpret that either.
On wikipedia it says Nov. 10 but everywhere else just says November.
I checked the reference and it says nothing about the 10th.
I have Verizon and want to buy a Pixel 2 XL with an unlocked bootloader, refurbished or new. I know I can purchase a new one from the Google store but the price is still $799 for the 128 Gb model. On Ebay they are under $500 now but getting an unlocked bootloader is near impossible because most are Verizon phones. Does anyone know specifically where you can buy one besides the Google store?
Look on swappa for a Google edition Pixel 2 xl. Good prices and they verify the imei to make sure your not buying stolen stuff.

Second vote for Swappa. I've bought 4 phones from there over the years with good experiences.
Great, thanks for the suggestion! I'll check Swappa out.

I got a Pixel 2 Xl 128 GB for $430. It has a small scuff on the bottom corner that's hardly noticeable. This thing is heads and tails better than my S7 Edge.
My unit was purchased directly from Google play store, still in warranty.
I looking to upgrade to a 3 xl... Pm me maybe we can work somethjng out
Black 64gb unlocked play store version.

I would go through Swappa and try and sell your phone there. It was a good experience for me. I bought one and don't need another one, but thanks anyway.
Swappa even states if it's a Google Edition or a Verizon
I recently ordered a pixel 2 unlocked that was a refurbished unit (yesterday) and then i read here on xda on the how to root pixel 2 Nathan chance's thread that explains how to root, a user states that he received 4 returhished units and all had encrypted bootloader's. His original device did not. Google pretty much told him tough luck. Then I read a few write ups on Reditt and on Google help site about the same thing. The refurbs have the switch and you can flip it on, however when you key in the fastboot command to unlock bootloader it fails. I canceled my order akd swappa got upset so I hooked me up with the links and told them to sticky that ****!! Seriously pissed me off!!
Has anyone received the $100 Google store credit for purchasing the Pixel 3a XL?
Is it a instant credit or do you have to wait for a week or two?

You can probably find it in the rebate details. Take a look and let us know.
In fact, you will find it in the "Terms Apply" under Specials. From that "Customers will receive an email notifying them Promotional Balance is added to their account within 6 weeks after the end of the promotion. It’s non-transferable, and not valid for cash." There's more including the expiry of the promo amount.

If I remember correctly, when I purchased the Nexus 5 or 5x. I received a similar rebate from Google and it was a couple of weeks before I received it.
I purchased the Pixel 3a XL deal from Google last week and received it on 5-15-19, but without any rebate info..
I guess I will wait until next week before I call them...
