Google delaying some white Pixel 2 orders by a month

It looks like Google is having an even harder time keeping the Pixel in stock than it expected. Some people who ordered a white Pixel 2 and received an estimated ship date of late October are receiving emails saying their order has been delayed by up to a month. Multiple people who received the emails have posted about their frustration on Reddit, as was first picked up by Android Police.
To make up for the delay, Google is offering these customers a free Live Case, which normally sell for $40.
