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.

I just got a tracking number for mine. Says it should ship in 14 days.

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.

$50 credit for preordering?

I've looked in my Google Wallet, etc. I never received the $50 credit from Google. I ordered it within a minute after the Nexus 5x went live. Thanks in advance for the help.

I was under the impression that the phone comes with a physical card with a code redeemable for the $50 credit. I don't know if that's true or not, but I won't get concerned until after I get the phone tomorrow.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I was thinking the same thing, but I do remember reading that it was going to be emailed once the phone shipped. We'll see.
"Purchase a Nexus 5X by 10/25/2015 and get an email with a Google Play promotional credit once it ships. Redeem offer before 12/31/15. Terms apply.*"
So once your order ships, you should then receive an email with the promo credit attached.
i also am waiting for the email with $50 credit and code for half off nexus case.
My order has shipped and I did not receive a code.

I was hoping the same thing, that I could use the credit to purchase a case for the 5x. But the fine print on the Google store says:
"... Google Play credit cannot be used on the Google Store. Some subscriptions excluded. ..."
Looks like the credit can only be used for App purchases.
My bet it won't come until after the return period ends. If not a lot of people could buy a lot and then return them once they get the credit applied.

I contacted their support, was advised to wait up to 48 hours for the email. I've already received my 5x so only time will tell.

Usually they just reduce the refund by the card value if it was already redeemed.
I contacted Play Store costumer service and they said it should have come 24 hours after shipping. Mine shipped over 24 hours ago so I emailed my rep back to get things looked at more. I hope it comes soon! I got some things to download! x3

Same here. Has ANYONE received their $50 credit?
I just talked to Google rep. He said you should get email of it within 96 hours of after your phone has shipped.
I got mine a couple hours ago, phone arrived yesterday morning, so about 36 hours after receiving phone I got the code in my email.
My 5x was delivered yesterday. I set it up last night and overnight I received the $50 Credit.
It is just a code via email.
I received my 5X yesterday and I received the $50 credit email as I was setting up the phone and updating it last night.
My phone shipped on Wednesday. I didn't receive my phone yet, but I received the code via email for two phones.
My phone shipped Wed., got the code today. Kinda felt deceived by the case promotion since it was only for the Adopted case. I thought it would be for any case in the Google Store. Pretty disappointed by that.

free daydream vr with preorder from google store?

according to droid-life, that's the case.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/10/04/google-pixel-pixel-xl-now-pre-order/
This is the only bit of info that's available on Pixel's page.
"Pre-order Pixel and get a promo code for the Daydream View — on us"
Awesome news, I had no clue. Apparently that also applies for preorders through Fi
It actually says
Terms and Conditions
Offer applies to redemption of one Daydream View VR headset with the pre-order of a Pixel phone on the Google Store in the U.S. starting on 10/4/2016 and available while supplies last. After a qualifying purchase of a Pixel phone, a promo code will be emailed within approximately 4 weeks from the Pixel phone shipment date. The promo code must be used on the Google Store before 12/31/2016 and will expire after this date. The promo codes are not stored value, are for one-time use only, cannot be transferred to other users, cannot be exchanged for cash or cash equivalent, and have no balance after one-time use. Google Inc. is not liable for lost or stolen promo codes, or for expired promo codes that are not redeemed before 12/31/2016. To be eligible, user must be a US resident, age 13 or older, and have or activate a Google Payments account. Terms subject to applicable laws. Void where prohibited.
I just got my promotional e-mail from google mailing list that i signed up for about the pixel phones.
It says right in the text "pre-order pixel and enjoy the new Daydream View VR headset on us"
That should confirm that its a promo code for 100% off.
USA only. Nice one Google.
I ordered my phone from the Google Store right after the conference but before this email went out. I wonder if I will get a promo code or not?

I'm in the same boat. I'm sure there are many of us that ordered before the email went out. Wouldn't make sense for the first people to order to not get the free headset. Just in case, I'll have my torch and pitchfork ready to go. [emoji16]

Yea, ain't cool at all.
I hope I get the vr. That'll take the sting out of these pricey phones. Still can't believe no 64gb version.
NICE! Free VR headset if we ordered through Google. I didn't want one, but for free I'll sure as he'll try it.
Yes... I agree. 32gb to 128? I have a 64 gb 6p and its perfect.
Yeah. Don't understand the 32gb-128. And VR daydream is not free. You had to buy a way over priced phone first. Lol

US only..... Meh!
That's really not fair to people outside the US who have made pre-orders. Booo.
And Canada gets a 3 months free Google music subscription ONLY if you're not a member already.. bs.
I just got an email from Google saying that I am confirmed to get a code for the Daydream View about 4 weeks after my order ships. It's good that they don't leave you hanging wondering.

Daydream View promo code?

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.

There's no way to know unless you contact Google and ask them.
Thanks for your input. I was as ki ING if anyone else has had this issue pop up. I'm waiting for Google to respond..
I chatted today with Support, regarding my trade in kit (I never received it). I was told that it would be coming with the phone, and that it would be good for 30 days after receiving the phone.

Not cancelled here but has not arrived yet. Preorderd from Google on the 7th.
Did you owe any money to the carrier of the phone for the phone? If so this could explain the cancellation.
I ordered on the 10th, got a notice my kit shipped on the 11th, phone is due on the 30th.
Good Luck
I got my first kit yesterday, I second one is on its way after I cancelled the 64 and reordered 128

I've had the kit for about a week, it's basic to say the least! But it's the first trade-in program for Google...

Signature for Delivery?

I ordered my Pixel 2 XL last week and it was shipped today with a delivery window between 10/18 and 10/19. They sent me an OnTrac tracking number but when I go to the website it shows that the tracking number can not be located. Now I don't know when I need stay home from work if it needs to be signed for. Does anyone know if signature is required for delivery? I ordered from the Google Store. The email they sent doesn't say anything.

Mine is coming the 19th FedEx and says indirect signature required
Do you see that on the email from Google or from the FedEx tracking website?
It's kind of weird cause mine says it's shipping by tomorrow and scheduled to arrive tomorrow or the 19th... my order status hasn't changed and haven't gotten notifications of it being shipped yet, nor an email... getting confused here
If it's scheduled to ship tomorrow you'll get an email tomorrow. Problem for me is it doesn't say if signature is required and my tracking number doesn't work so I don't know what day it'll be delivered.

As someone who is in the business and has personal orders for phones in the past I'm 99% sure it requires a signature because it's a very high value item. Now Idk what your relationship is lo ike with the FedEx guy around your neighborhood but if I call FedEx and tell them I'm leaving a note with a signature on the door with the tracking number, along with authorisation for them to leave it, they will if you'd like
Yeah I've left a note on my door that says "I hereby take responsibility if something happens to my package" signed and dated for them and they left it.
My FedEx email shows no sign required.
Delivery set for Thursday before 8pm.

Thing is they didn't use FedEx to ship my package. They used OnTrac.
It's probably already at FedEx just waiting to be delivered.

I think it said so on the tracking screen before delivery. But look ..
But different carrirrs do things differently. I expected a signature to be required but my phone was delivered to the package room in my complex.
Adding to the responses, my phone purchased from the google store and delivered by Fedex did not require a signature.
Mine is supposed to ship today. Still havent received a shipping email or notification and the google store still shows it's available to cancel. It's 4:06 California time.
