Cancel pre-order (before shipment) takes how long to refund? - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi guys, I've pre-ordered a Pixel 3 XL on Oct13 and cancelled the order on Oct16 because I changed my mind to order a smaller Pixel 3 instead. Has somebody done that before and how long should I wait for the refund from Google?
It has been 2 days but still no refund.

Refund times for credit can take up to a week. Calling them is not going to expedite anything as they have no control on how long it takes after they processed the refund.

[Q] returning nexus 5

I got the black 16gb nexus 5 exactly one week before this posting. I have used it for one week without any problems . however I want to get the 32gb model I read on Google return page that if you're not satisfied with the device you can return it in 15 days.I now want to know whether I will get full device cost minus shipping since I have used it for one week. If any one has returned their device share our experience and also any reason I can give so that they will accept return. I am from India purchased the phone from play store India.please don't hesitate to share ur experience if you bought it in a different country. Thanks in advance.
A quick live chat from Google would most likely get you your answer

Will Google accept return. Any ideas there is no live chat for return sadly have register for a call back. Should I ask for exchange or refund. Thanks in advance

It might be less complicated to request to return the phone for a refund and then place an order for a new 32GB phone in a separate encounter with Google.

So Google will accept return even after I have used the device and it has no problem within 15 days.

As posted above, talking to Google directly will probably give you the best answer. I know that every time I've contacted google support they were very easy to work with. As long as you don't tell them you want a refund to get an iPhone 5S then you are less likely to have problems lol
I did a chat session last night (around 9PM eastern time) to arrange for a return of my 32 gb N5 (like the phone, but network connectivity issues are driving me nuts). I've had it a week so I'm still within the return window. It took about 15 minutes and last night around 10:30 I got the email with the return label and RMA form.
When starting the chat window click on 'Changing Order' - eventually you'll see an option to chat about returns.

I didn't ask, but I expect to get $422 back (phone plus 7% tax, - cost to ship back). I don't plan on getting my original shipping amount back. I guess I'll know for sure in about 2 weeks

Nice keep posted, I gather there is no restocking or other fee good to know that you get 100% phone amount, bye the way the shipping was free and there was no tax levied the bill mentioned 0% vat and other tax. So does that mean I will get full money back?

I contacted Google but there is no return facility in India and replacement will get me a 16 GB model only after the technitions decide the defect is covered under warranty

14 Day Return is Actually 1.5 Months

Hey guys, just thought I'd let everyone know how much time you actually have to return your Moto X Pure, as nobody in the Q&A threads seemed to realize that you can return your phone up to a month and a half after your device was first delivered for a full refund.
Yes, the time limit to request an RMA is only 14 days. As soon as you have that RMA in your possession, though, the time limit to return your device is immediately extended a month, as that is when the RMA expires. So, if you are still on the fence about returning your Moto X Pure (as I am, leering at that Nexus 6P), it does no harm to request an RMA on the 14th day from when you got your device so you have an extra month to decide whether to return it.
I hope this helps out a lot of you who are indecisive like me.
You can request an RMA by calling Motorola customer service, or better yet, online through this link:

It's possible you can try faking out the computer system in the link above, I lied about my purchase date being within 14 days (it wasn't but my delivery date was), and I still got an RMA.

Yes, even though the Moto X "Style" is technically a different device, this should work for any phone that has been sold through the Motorola website.
California residents, you guys are lucky and don't have to send your device back until December. 1 month to request RMA + 1 month until RMA expiration = a whopping 2 months.
Why is it we Californians get 30 days is it a purchase state wide mandated law? Because tmobile was giving me gripes about the 21 day policy I was a day late and they still let me return that stand in Galaxy edge plus. I had to plea with customer service on the 22nd day but it's suppose to be 30 days for any purchase coming in to cali?

The 30 day return policy in California is specific for Motorola purchases.
You would have to review the return policies for Samsung to learn how much time you have to return a Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
Good to hear Josh. :good:
I kinda wish this was not made well known... Now that Motorola realizes this, they may close this loop hole by requiring us to return the device within a few business days. It's not for no reason that the return label they provide us is an Overnight one.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
They'll keep the return windoe. 30-day rma is pretty typical.
They overnight a label to provide good customer service. It would cost them a lot of time, money, and customer satisfaction if they were to change their policy and workflow around this. They wouldn't incur those costs just to try and reduce abuse of their return policy. Especially since a 14-day return window can be just as easily abused as a 45-day return window.

So on day 29, submit for an RMA and have 30 additional days to return the phone? 2 months trying out the phone, and giving time to decide whether to go with the Nexus 6P, is pretty nice.

For most, the initial return period is just 14 days, unless you live in a state that mandates 30 days. So depending where you live, submit for RMA on day 14 or day 30.

I just got a reply from Motorola saying that my RMA is solved since they haven't gotten my phone. Did the RMA process on the 30th. So I don't know, but I'm thinking this means I won't be able to return it now. Was going to wait it out a bit, possibly for the nexus 6p. I guess I'm saying I'm not so sure you really get the 30 days for the RMA.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
So on the last day of my 14 day window, I can request an RMA, and just sit on it for a month while I decide? And if, in the end, I decide to just keep the Moto X, then having that wasted RMA won't matter and Motorola won't ask questions?
Not according to the guy above you... I wouldn't be going on rumors here for a device you think you don't want. Its not worth $400+, because after that 14 days you're going to lose at least $50 on swappa for being used... Just sayin'... Not very logical in my opinion. Its like a relationship, if you have doubts this early, you're probably not going to want the phone at all in a month or two... You can always repurchase it, can't always return it after the window...

I called Motorola trying to figure out just this. From the time the RMA is issued you have 10 days to send the device back. I'm thinking that might be enough time for me to have the Nexus 6P so I can compare them side by side. :fingers-crossed:

Hmmmm
I did the RMA deal as well on the last day.. 3/hrs before midnight.. haha.. anyways.. I got the usual, we will process your RMA within 4/hrs during normal.. blah-blah-blah.. besides that email, nothing from Moto after, just an email from FedEx with a link to an RMA shipping label saying I have until 2 weeks into Nov. to print the label... I haven't printed up the label yet...
I picked up a Note 4(on AT&T upgrade, been sitting on my Note 2 since it came out) for $0, unfortunately one reason I got the Moto X was that Note 4 on AT&T is locked down, but couldn't pass up a Note 4 for $0:silly:... so, now playing with both phones... I do miss using the S-Pen.. and the finger print reader/scanner, missed that since my Atrix 4G days, plus some other stuff I was used too on the Note series... right now trying to see if I can stand not modding or theme my phone.... unlike with my Note 2, flashing ROMs, apktool, etc.. :laugh:
Got a Note 4 for nothing? Sign me up, sheesh. Anyway, so far I like this phone but am still considering doing this just in case. Gives at least what, 24 days timeframe to figure it out instead of 14? The one thing that is really annoying me so far is the lack of quality cases. Had to buy a Moko cheapy from Amazon to make do. Hopefully soon they'll be more quality choices available.

Lol. There's no such thing as a free lunch. He probably got it under the condition of a 2-year contract. Which is worth about $400 in most cases.
I never understood why people who are out of contract don't immediately re-lock a contract. They're just leaving money on the table. Even if you're perfectly happy with your current device, re-lock a contract and buy whatever the newest iPhone is; and then sell it immediately as new. Something like a new iPhone retains its near-retail value

Yes, I used it for a few days, before my boss felt sorry for me and let me use the company's S7 until my replacement came. It was a great phone back in the day, but it did suck. It would lag just texting people lol I might call Asurion to see the average wait time for my pixel.

On Thursday March 16 at around 11am I filed a claim for my 6P (with Asurion and Telus), they didn't have any of those left so they're sending me a 32gb Pixel. I've been tracking it and it already shows on the truck to be delivered to my address. I don't know how accurate Purolator (shipping company) tracker is but I'll post here when it's actually in my hands. So far it's looking good.

So I've ordered a Pixel 3 XL 64 just after the presentation (october 9th)
Delivered date was initially between the 2 and the 5 of November.
But 2 days ago, my status changed to delayed with no date precision...
Anyone in the same boat?
Anyone with a status that has turned to shipped?
Same for me with a Pixel 3XL Clearly White 64Go.
It shows as delayed since 2 days now...
UK orders were dispatched yesterday, now it seems that German order are being sent. so hopefully it will not be too long for France

I prefer ordering directly from the Google Store because of the warranty (when you purchase out of the GS you can't contact Google directly you have to deal with Darty or other traders) but 100€ off is interesting!
