Google is unable to fulfill all Pixel and Pixel XL orders in a timely manner

Google started taking pre-orders for the Pixel and Pixel XL immediately after announcing them, on October 4. Unfortunately, although both phones started to ship on October 19, many users are disappointed to find out that their orders - placed via Google Store - aren't arriving too soon.

Most problems seem to be related to the Pixel XL, although the regular Pixel is also arriving late for some customers. 9to5Google has it that the “shipping department is running 3 weeks behind” - at least for Pixel units ordered via Project Fi. At the same time, a number of customers are noting that, although Google did ship their Pixel, the phone hasn't reached them because FedEx is in no rush to deliver it.

We must mention that we ourselves already received a Quite Black Pixel 32 GB yesterday, October 24, after placing a rather late pre-order on October 13 (with express shipping). Maybe we were lucky.
