Potentially a lot more than that with 25500 clicks
Around 60+ clicks were mine ; )
I don't think that many orders are on backorder TBH, it's awfully quiet in here regarding status, I would imagine us OZBners picking up more stink than this if there were hundreds of orders backordered than just the handful of us still messaging here…hence my asking.
Yeah… I just got my text messages this morning..
You'll find out how many if they end up cancelling orders. There will be heaps of stink :)
I'm on backorder.
It would be ironic when we get order filled and mass dumping happens to make way for Pixel 8 in Oct
@BinnyC: I'm also waiting for Pixel 8. Hoping there'll be stackable pre-order deals like this one from JB when Pixel 7 came out.
@CodeXD: Yeh that was a beauty got the P7 from that deal and basically got it for free after selling the bonus items ($210), the pixel 5 ($350), plus a $100JB voucher & 28d Price protection claim ( Telstra AUG price $500).
Got the same sms on Friday! I ordered around 11am on Friday, no indication on timeframe though.
I ordered Sunday, just got my apology text from Telstra
Which specific model did you order?
Have you received the refund already?
Sorry, I wasn't clear. It was an apology for delay, not an apology for cancellation. I ordered 128GB black on backorder.
Anyone get a tax invoice with their phone?
Telstra emailed a link to the invoice straight away.
Thanks. I’ll check through past emails
Can someone please share the tips to maximize the battery life on Pixel 7. My phone's battery drains out very quickly and doesn't even last a day.
Well, I'd start by looking at battery in settings and checking if any particular apps are causing the drain.
Turn off a few settings. Ie. The one where it's always listening for music, the one where it's listening for Google assistant, turn off always on display, turn off 5G.
Hey guys, can anyone confirm if their backorder got delivered? I ordered mine on Monday morning (still pending).
I am still waiting, ordered mine on the 4th
I feel like everyone who ordered the 256GB one will eventually get cancelled so everyone should cancel their order now to speed my chances 😏🙃
Placed an order on the 7th.
Spoke to Telstra chat last night, they said might take 3-6 weeks to restock. But just got a text message saying the telstra order has been despatched 🤔
I ordered Snow White on the 4th but have still got nothing. :(
Interesting. I ordered 2 phones on the morning of the 5th.
Mine was 2-6
Thanks for waiting. As of the moment, this device is still out of stock. Delivery for backorder devices can take 2-6 weeks from the order date. You will know if your order is already in-stock as you will get a notification that your order has shipped.
Fyi for others
I wonder if Telstra are prioritizing people who are actively following up on dispatch dates with them.
I don't think so. I talked to Jim. He basically was like if you don't like it you can cancel your order.
I'm on livechat now, I'm interested to see if they can provide any additional information. It's a bit ordinary being kept in the dark with not even an ETA. lol
@shutuptakemymoney101: Order on your account placed last 04/08/2023.
The status of the delivery of your order with us is still in-progress as the device ordered is tagged as backorder. I tried checking if we already have an estimated date as to when it will be available, however, looks like our team don't have it yet.
We will fully take note you have contacted for a follow up regarding this today and ensure you'll be communicated once we already have update as to when will it be estimated to be shipped.

Wow already arrived today!
Hi guys! #update
My one got dispatched just now. And is showing for delivery with auspost!
Standard pixel 7 128gb?
So you ordered on the 7/8 and it's been dispatched?
Yes, 128gb obisidian, ordered on 7th monday. Seems like they got stock now.
Lucky duck! No word for my 2 yet.
I ordered the same on 4 Aug and still waiting for confirmation on disptach / delivery!
Just spoke with the telstra online chat too. Order for a Standard 7 128 black on 7/8:
Thank you for staying connected. I can see here that order is now in stock. This order should take between 3-5 business days to be delivered in metro areas after we've received stock. Regional and rural deliveries may take longer.
We'll see.
Telstra online chat gave the below advise just now:
I see here that your order on In Progress status and already submitted. I'm sorry that we don't have a exact ETA of the device since this is a back order. Please wait for the notification of the device dispatch.
Interestingly they further mentioned that "We have no received any stock since the day you placed your order. And still we don't have a update regarding the device."
Ordered 128 GB Black on 7/8, it has been dispatched and being delivered today.
Started to believe WA is last to get, ordered on 5/8
Ordered on the 4th. Still on Backorder in Queensland
Ordered on 5th. Still on backorder in NSW.
Ordered on 4th (256 GB). Still on backorder in SA
Just got a text from Telstra that they have dispatched the 128GB Snow that I ordered on 4th at 10AM.
Yes so did i…Good news. ( i ordered on the 7th though.. was late to the party, but still got past the bouncer! )
And its arrived!
Awesome! Is it for 128g or 256g? Thanks
Looks like more obsidian (black) 128gb orders are being fulfilled with yours being an exception for the Snow version. I ordered the same at 10.50am on 4th. It is a long wait game now!
Finger crossed that I'll actually receive the white version. Someone purchased Snow but received Obsidian…
Ordered on the 6th (128 Black). Still on back-order QLD metro
Ordered on the 4th (128 Black). Still on back-order QLD metro :-(
Just got tracking for my black 128gb ordered on the 8th.
Didn't the deal finish on the 7th?
Yep you're right, ordered on the 7th.
I think only 256GB left on backorder.
Ordered 2x 256gb on the 4th, still nothing yet.
if i don't get it by the time the JB pixel 6a deal comes around i will cancel my 256GB order
ordered 256G obsidian on 4.8.23. Asked via chat of ETA on stock, nil confirmation on when. Will be contacted once stock arrives. W8_w8
Same here, ordered 256GB on the 4th. I can't seem to use chat - it goes back to the profile page if I try. Probably because I'm not an actual Telstra customer. I still have an idea, and I can order things from the website, but I'm on Boost now.
Exactly as me. Ordered same phone and moving to Boost today from an OzB deal months ago.
The chat is hopeless to find it for me as well. I sometimes stumble upon it though. Pretty much useless for us being a backorder though so I wouldn't bother looking for it anyways.
I got another Text today letting me know they haven't forgotten about me and stock still coming. No ETA or further information though.
Well, at least it's coming. Hopefully this year.
I bugged chat yesterday and supposedly was told stock may arrive in 1-2 weeks… going on holiday in about a months time so contemplating on cancelling my order if I don't hear anything by then :'(
snow 128gb no eta so far.
256gb ordered. Just received tracking info for delivery by Startrack on Friday
Gives me hope :)
When did you ordered? I ordered on 4th aug, still pending.
Same
Ordered 4th Aug. On board for delivery today
has anyone received their order? ordered on 4/8/2023. still waiting for stock.
6 to 8 weeks I was told today.
They just put my Pixel buds on back order as well. Hopefully not as long as that…..
Mine came yesterday. Ordered on the 7th from the rewards store.
Is yours 256gb?
No
Ordered 128GB Snow on 4/8 at 9:58AM and came yesterday.
Might help to let people know what you ordered
256gb black
Ordered on 4th - still pending, waiting on stock
Standard black 128 - delivery que seems random
Why is Google forcing us to deal with Telstra?
No one is forcing you to deal with Telstra.
This is a telstra deal. If you don't want to deal with telstra then don't buy it lol
I guess what I meant to say was Google should have matched their price
Probably didn't want to deal with the aftermath of people needing to wait weeks for their phone's.
@Ronnnie: Possibly. I think they are just using the Telstra membership as an excuse to make their phones not look too cheap. I thought they were just clearing for the release of the 8 in Oct. Or maybe Telstra may have to have met a quota? It's really an incredible deal for this phone either way. Waiting is ok, but if they start to cancel orders it won't be pretty lol
Got my black 256 today. Melbourne.
Congrats!!
when did you place your order? and did you get it delivered?
Got my pixel buds pro - charcoal today. waiting on 256G obsidian black - 4.8.23.
Lucky you, I am still waiting on both
Were the buds included as part of this deal or they were a separate purchase?
Still waiting, live chat says 3-6 weeks :(
Happy for everyone who has recipes theirs.
Still can't figure out how people who ordered after me got theirs before us.
It seems they are randomnly receiving stock and fulfilling orders not following any queue! One would have thought that having x number of devices on back order would make it clearer and easier for them to source from their supplier. Unless there is a shortage of these devices which I doubt!
And lying about it too: We don't have estimated date of arrival but rest assured that our warehouse will deliver your order according to the dates of order and availability of the device with no special treatment as we proceed with first come first serve.
I wonder how much longer I'll be getting my automated 9am Saturday text message from Telstra telling me they are still waiting for stock :-(
I get mine on Friday, guess it's weekly and based on what day you purchased
Did anyone who redeemed the points and paid partly by card managed to get a Tax Invoice? I didn't get anything with the phone nor in the email and Telstra support haven't been able to provide it either
I paid by card but all I got was a text telling me the invoice was available through my Telstra online account, have you logged in and checked?
I bought 2 phones, one paid fully by credit card and I can access the invoice via Telstra account. I also got a delivery docket with the phone which had the IMEI number as well.
The other one was was partly paid by points and credit card. Didn't receive the delivery docket along with the phone nor is the invoice showing in the Telstra account. Their support is hopeless directing me from one department to another and no one is able to help.
Hmmmm.. update : i just got the 2nd "understanding" message from Telstra today .. and frustratingly my unrelated order from aliexpress on 10/8 arrived faster in WA than telstra order on 5/8.
1000 likes… so…. that how many orders to fulfill
