It seems to me that she does not have Family Sharing set up on her iCloud account, which also contains "Ask To Buy". Every time my kids want to make a purchase or even download a "Free" game, I get alerts on ALL my Apple devices at the same time asking if I want to approve the download.

I ordered one Thanksgiving morning and the expected ship date was December 3-8.  Quickly it turned into November 28 with expected delivery December 5.  Now it’s on its final leg, delivery scheduled for tomorrow (Dec. 1). 

I’ll end up receiving it a week before the original delivery date. 

And yet yet it seems like the local Apple stores can’t get them in stock.

I ordered mine the same day, with the same info as you. I thought it was coming on Tuesday of next week, so I had UPS change my delivery destination so I could stop off at a nearby UPS store to pick it up! Turns out that it is scheduled to be delivered this Friday! Still works out for me because I'm off that day, so I'll be able to pick it up early and have all day to play around with it! I've checked all this week with my local Apple Store, and they have been getting stock in early in the day, but it sells out by the time I get off work. It seems that they do receive stock every day, but it just sells out quickly.

I would say the writing is on the wall for the Pixel phone as well. With only about 3 million units sold last quarter that is nowhere near iPhone territory.
