Arrangement = time = money.

You can't send the phone to Google directly from overseas. You will need to send the phone to the originating country. Google will provide a paid shipping label for a local courier to pick up the device and send it to Google.

Actually you can ship it directly to Google from SG. I've done that before.

The edges will halo a lot and badly if you just let it auto settle. Even if it adheres to the glass gradually, its best that you squeegee progressively till the glass is fully adhered.

If you can't remove most of the halos that way, you can squeegee in different directions and hopefully the halo reduces. For mine, haloing is limited to just some small corners after post application squeegee.

The corners will rainbow lightly on white backgrounds because the cutouts are slightly small, and from the refracting white light. Could be better, but already not bad imo.

Oops I just realised you're asking about film ones. Not sure if they have film ones. What I got was tempered glass. Personally I find that films don't feel so good to the touch; once you try tempered glass, don't think you'll want to go back to film.

Never tried with Google in other countries, but was not possible with Google US. Google did not give out their address and the provided shipping label got no address.

I have been using my since launch week. I still get 4.5-5hours SOT . But battery drains quite abit if I pair it with Bluetooth earphones. Overall, still acceptable!

The shipping label had no address? Then how do they ship?

Interesting. The shipping label they gave me (for Nexus 5X RMA) did include an address. Google also provided me with contact information when my parcel got held up at U.S. customs so that they could sort it out directly.
