You can at least see that the package has been picked up by the courier from their offices today though on their track your order page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Well im going to go into my phones4u store tomorrow morning. They said today that they would have stock tomorrow so if they have I will ask if I can have one of their alocated stock to fullfill my pre-order. If they cant (or wont) do that then I will cancel my pre-order and just get one from the shop. I would sugest anyone with a phones4u store near them do the same thing.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gstadt:
My plan exactly ;) ... I've got the direct phone numbers for my local stores, going to give them a call before I go to make sure they've got stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I may do this too, it's just a pain my nearest store involves a 20 mile trip, finding somewhere to park etc etc.

Bah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Just an FYI, I went into my local P4Y store today (Newton Abbot) and they were currently offloading them and asked if I could come back in half hour and they would be able to sell me one. Only reason why I didn't go back is because they said that they couldn't offer me the same price as online which is the £36 Orange deal with 1gb of internet and the phone free. They said they could do that deal but the phone would be £100.

I think I will call around tomorrow and see if any of the stores can match it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I wish I could - it won't even let me log into my account!

Won't accept my username or password, and I can't reset them because it wants to know the phone number associated with it - which I don't have yet :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
pml.. i ordered about 10 i think maybe bit later..No email when i left work (about 4pm) but the courier details were there from about 1:30pm.

I think you'll be okay too, good luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I thought i'd have one last check with P4U on the ol' livechat:

James Billings says:

Hi, I've still not received any dispatch notification for my order- I was promised it would arrive by 9am tomorrow several times this week.

Stephen F says:

I will just look into this for you now. I will be as quick as I can for you.

James Billings says:

OK, thanks

Stephen F says:

Currently your order is awating despatch. Once this has left our warehouse we do email you to confirm it is on its way.

James Billings says:

OK, so are there any more collections from the warehouse tonight?

Stephen F says:

There can be some collections by 8pm but again we will email you to confirm so you know when to expect it.

James Billings says:

OK, so if I don't hear anything tonight, it's probably not coming tomorrow morning. If my local shop have any in stock can they give me one instead, and update your order system appropriately?

Stephen F says:

We are unable to provide store stock for an online or over the phone order unfortunately. I would advise to keep an eye on your emails including your junk inbox to see when your order is on its way. You item has been prepared for despatch looking at your order.

James Billings says:

OK, no problem. I'll keep an eye open. Thanks for checking

Stephen F says:

Is there anything else I can help you with today?

James Billings says:

No, that's all thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
mine has been despatched from o2 for delivery tomorrow with yodel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Cheers mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deenn:
i'm wondering when/if the gsm version will hit the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Anyone got anything other than "Parcel data received awaiting coll." with Yodel? Ordered mine about 1:30 - thinking this was perhaps too late for next day now. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
Yup, got "Parcel Picked Up" @14:51, i ordered about 10am ish
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeski27:
It will hit the US as soon as I order my unlocked SIM-free unit and have it shipped here from the UK :D ...which should be in about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deenn:
thinking the same thing but from the US to belgium, our €-rates make it a lot cheaper for us :)

but i read it could be january before it comes out in the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
FINALLY just got a tracking number. I had to call them twice today to get one, after ordering at 9 this morning. Never got an email dispatch, so dunno what happened there :rolleyes:

Check which branch it says. Mine says the same, but it says "Leeds service centre" which is my local one where it goes before being distributed to the drivers tomorrow. Even if it says something else I wouldn't give up hope at all - it'll probably get distributed overnight because they work 24 hours :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
Parcel Picked Up (O2 - CUSTOMER LOCATION)	17th Nov 2011	12:50

Parcel data received awaiting coll. (LEEDS SERVICE CENTRE)	17th Nov 2011	00:00

I ordered about 8.10 this morning. No more emails since dispatch confirmation, but I'm not worried after seeing it move out of O2's hands ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
Same as that! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
Has anyone heard anything from Phones4u other than it will be delivered tomorrow from twitter or email?

Any shipping notices? Or any other news... It seems awfully quiet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Cheers.

Just checked again and now I have a Parcel pick-up line too - at 17:43 - way before I posted my question! I'm in Aberdeen so not counting on it tomorrow but would be awesome - I'm using a Touch Diamond 2 with bad old Windows Mobile 6.5 in the meantime! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I won't stop worrying until I physically have it in MY hands ;)

Until then, I'll just stay here rocking back and forth in the corner thankyouverymuch :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
I was going to make a comment about delivery being Yodel's business...but then I remembered O2 are in the business of selling phones, and Samsung supposedly have a Marketing department ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
Nothing. 9:20pm and no dispatch email isn't looking promising. Not really happy at all. I could have just gone to O2, but I expected that going to the company that had the pre-orders live first, and ordering the day that they went live would put me in good stead to have the phone on launch. I've even taken the day off tomorrow so I could sort the thing out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
So I may have 2 Galaxy Nexus coming tomorrow on one contract or I may have only one... I don't need two but circumstances have turned out that I may end up with that many.

I upgraded my contract using Phones4u on Tuesday - they confirmed it was all done and I would get the phone on Friday. I have no contact from them since then, no confirmation email, no dispatch email, no phone call - nothing.

This morning I saw I could upgrade online so I chose the phone and tariff on the network site and I got a dispatch email in the afternoon.

I know I will definitely get the dispatched phone but what happened with Phones4u? Surely if the upgrade went through I shouldn't have been able to do it on the O2 site? And if they did cancel my upgrade then surely they should have let me know that there was a problem.

Now what if they sent the dispatch to the warehouse and were waiting to put the upgrade through today and when they checked on their systems it had gone through... then I could end up with 2 phones.

Now I don't know if Phones4u have even confirmed my upgrade through them let alone shipped a phone but I find it very strange that I have heard nothing either way from them.

Of course I will return the phone if it comes but it just seems really inconsistent and strange to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Waiting for mine.. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gregounech:
If you ever end up with 2 Galaxy Nexus, sell one to me :)

Phones 4u Order Despatch Confirmation

-----------------------------------------

Order reference:

xxxxxx

Dear Liam,

Your order has now been completed and will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special Delivery, who will deliver pre 1:00pm on the next working day.

*If this email is sent on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday then your order will actually despatch on the next working day, and be delivered on the working day after that.

** Royal Mail are used for all orders that contain a single item. If your order should contain a handset and a free gift, then your order will be delivered by a courier and may be delivered between 8am and 8pm. *
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I assume that was sent this morning? meaning that it has been shipped Friday and will at best arrive on Saturday.

Phones4u lets us down on the guarenteed Friday delivery it seems!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
He might have got it last night, the email does say "this evening".

Does anybody have an email for a complaints dept, and for some of the higher-ups at phones4u? I'm really annoyed that I probably won't receive my phone til Saturday or maybe Monday/Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkh786:
Out for delivery! :)

Ordered yesterday afternoon from O2 UK (£450)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
The email came through at 6:47am this morning. I don't know whether the phone was dispatched last night or today. I'm still hopeful that I'll receive the thing tomorrow but since there's no way of tracking it, there's no way of knowing for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
When did you order, mate? Network? Upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
Ordered on the 1st Nov as soon as the pre-orders went live. Its a new contract on Orange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
This gets funnier and funnier.

I just got the same email as majikdragon. Resigned myself to waiting until Monday.

Not two minutes later THE DAMN THING WAS DELIVERED BY CITY LINK!

Hope it's got the right build version...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Ordered mine yesterday over the phone with Phones4U after cancelling my original buymobilephones order, and its just came with citylink.

No dispatch email or anything though. Very happy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiteHartMart:
Great news guys - eagerly watching for a city link van now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviewers:
Who know's where I could buy a unlocked Galaxy Nexus that work's w/ t-mobile ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Same questions to all of you who have received, about when you ordered, network, upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Ordered yesterday on O2 with phones4u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
Mate i'm in your exact situation and i'm massively annoyed too. What's the point in preordering a phone if you get it AFTER everyone that just goes into a shop on launch day. Pretty much resigned myself to getting it on Monday now. Sad times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
What? So people getting emails from Phones4U saying that it's been dispatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery are actually receiving their phones via Citylink?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Pre ordered online with phones4u on a new orange contract, last Friday evening. I received order confirmation within minutes and credit check ok email on the Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
lol! Retailers and customers, as clueless as each other! Samsung, Phones4U, O2, Carphone Warehouse....gotta hand it to you all - absolutely stellar lulz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ordered yesterday from 02. Not had a single email from them, but the orders section on my O2 gives me a tracking id from yodel.

My parcel is about 5 miles away. Just give them a call if you can't check
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
But did they not tell you yesterday evening that it will be sent out today, for delivery in 3-5 days?!

That's what they told me, now hoping it may be today :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Yep - live chat told me last night it was "Processed and ready for dispatch" or similar (I posted the conversation a few posts back) and that I'd receive an email when it had been sent.

The email didn't come until this morning with the "it'll be sent out this evening for delivery on the next working day" text, but then it arrived literally 2 minutes later.

Two possibilities:

1) Pre orders were sent out last night as promised but no one hit the button to send out the emails until this morning

2) They don't know their arse from their elbow.

Gonna go for 2 ;)

It's on charge now, gonna go out for a walk as I've got a killer headache. Will upload quick unboxing video soon. It's very light and thin, and doesn't feel as huge as I was expecting (coming from a Desire)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Checked with Citylink and they don't have anything for my address :-(

May be Royal Mail then? Although mine was an upgrade and the lady said there a delay on upgrade stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
Probably saying 3-5 working days to play down expectations. If they have taken it upon themselves to use City Link to try and get them out today then that will at least be some redemption against their poor communication and general handling of the launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
So i got my nexus from o2. It is locked to the network so im gonna get an unlock code.

A couple of quick observations. .

Compared to the note it feels tiny. Its very slender and thin.

Ill comment more later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviewers:
How do you get a unlock code ? I don't think u could .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
O2 give unlock codes to contract phones for free.

Flash is talking me it is not compatible. Wierd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviewers:
How much did the phone cost you ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Does it have a O2 splash screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
New contract taken at phones4u on 12th Nov,no dispatch email sent,phone received via citylink just now! Happy days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I can clearly see dirt underneath the screan specially on this background for the forum.

Ill get it replaced next week as there is no huge rush but has anyone else got thos problem?

In response to the question there is no network branding at all but it asks for a.pin when I use a non o2 sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ande_uk:
just rung p4u having not received a dispatch email - the woman i spoke to confirmed my phone is out for delivery and has given me a tracking number but says it might be deliver before 1pm not 9am..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Nobody who ordered an upgrade from p4u has got their order then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
All those receiving via City Link - did you order new contracts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam1501:
Ordered yesterday and revieved today. New contract on o2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Mine was. I think the others who have received it this morning did too, although they can confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiteHartMart:
My new Orange contract p4u order arrived about 30mins ago.

3 sim inserted and Orange sin going to the wife.

Phone is stunning - so much nicer to hold than the S2 I had and despite what some say, the screen is a big improvement to my eyes :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
Just spoke to P4U about my Orange upgrade - seem that is being sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Looks like only new contracts get the City Link treatment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Did they say when they would send out? Same boat as you, orange upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ande_uk:
voda upgrade = royal mail (still awaiting delivery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
"Transacted" last night - does not mean it was picked up yet though. Could be picked up today. Standard Special Delivery can still come on Saturdays (though isnt guaranteed - thats a payable extra) - hence their 3-5 days statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mezzyg:
Just spoke to p4u live chat and my phone hasn't been dispatched yet apparently, i ordered yesterday morning and everything cleared at around 1pm. Lazy people couldn't get the phone dispatched in 5 hours :@

O well il wait till Monday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
I havent!

Just spoke to them and said that (about my order) there was a delay and that it should be going out today!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scarygore:
Received mine ten minutes ago via City Link. New O2 contract from P4U. Coming from a Nexus one I expected it to feel huge but its a very slender and tactile handset. Battery cover seems a bit slim and fragile but without an SD it won't see much use. I'll give it an hours charge before switching it on......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
The phones for you next to the office is taking delivery at 11 for the GN but i dont think they will be able to offer the same deal which i have placed on the internet!

HMmmmmm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ultra fast delivery :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
GOT MY PHONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Ok but im still REALLY pissed at phones4u as I didnt receive and email confirmation that it had been dispatched and when I talked to live chat last night then said I wouldnt be getting it until tuesday. Took my son to school this morning and when I got back I had a letter on the door from citylink saying they tryed to deliver a package at 08:50 but as I wasnt home they would reschedule it for monday..

I thought NOOOOOOOOOOOO........

Rang citylink up and fluttered my eyelashes (metaphorically speaking) and the van turned up 3 minutes later outside my door with the phone :D

God it looks huge though lol but soo slim and shexxyy ;)

Grr at phones4u :p

Mark.

EDIT: It gets even funnier I just checked my email and I got an email from phones4u saying the order had been dispatched with Royal mail special delivery (wierd since citylink delivered it) and the email was sent at 09:44 this morning, 50 minutes after citylink tryed to deliver it the first time. Well done phones4u.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
Just received via Citylink!

Really happy now :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
hoping now mine might arrive.

Come on city link! Give me some love!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
Anyone else noticed dirt and banding under the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Still no news at mine and stuck at work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incredulous:
That may be something Vodafone have done with Samsung/Google as they are going to be launching it direct through themselves in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khaled1994:
can i get it sim free from phones4u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
It's an automatic thing, the Market spots your Voda SIM, and up pops the carrier channel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floateruk:
I also got my phone quite literally 4 minutes after getting the email telling me it would be next working day.

I guess things worked out ok in the end...

How long does it take for the phone to be connected though, and do I have to do anything myself? Like turn the phone on and off or similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scarygore:
Can't see any fault on mine, nor on my wife's, which arrived at the same time.

Wifey just got a dispatch email through as well... Rather like a Neutrino her phone has arrived before being sent.

My dispatch email hasn't arrived yet.

City Link > light speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
£10.20 well spent for "before 10am" delivery (O2/Yodel) and it still isn't 45 mins later.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Still waiting delivery from yodel. Quick question, how do you put the nexus on silent and then back to normal, coming from iPhone with a hard button for this. Can't wait to get rid of this apple crap!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Hold down the power button and there will be options to toggle the silent mode, airplane mode and power off.

Still waiting on my handtec order placed on Oct 22nd - first in, last out :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Oh- also, when I rang up to query my double-sim-card she said "Royal Mail still haven't confirmed it's been delivered, so I will do that now so it gets activated".

I pointed out that City Link delivered it and she was really confused!

****************

I'd suggest ringing them to confirm you've received it otherwise it may never get activated.

****************
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
10 mins later it arrives. Hooray!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
My O2/Yodel little package of wonder and awesome came about 15 minutes ago. Yodel's website doesn't say it's even out for dispatch though - good job I was watching the front door impatiently! ;)

Called the upgrade line ~8.10AM yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
Has anyone received their UPGRADED phone from P4U yet?

Thanks

N
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Not me nick. They said being sent out today earlier on web chat, but can't believe a word they say!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackout19:
Not had a single email or call from them since placing the order. Livewebchat told me on Wednesday that it would be sent out yesterday, but as of 11:28am still no contact, no delivery, nothing... great service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
I received an email at 7am today saying it would be dispatched by Royal Mail this evening. I was very annoyed as I had been assured it would arrive today.

Well, it it has. :-)

It arrived at 9am this morning by Citylink.

Shame I'm ill today and not in the mood to do anything! Not even a nexus is getting me out of bed again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
This.

And I'm pretty sure Citylink is an arm of Royal Mail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
As I said earlier, not received my upgrade yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I've had no emails from O2 about my order or delivery.

Yodel says its out for delivery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
I've received mine from Yodel and never got any email from O2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phrive:
I just got mine, preordered with Phones4u. I got annoyed with waiting and spoke to someone there, they told me to get one instore and cancel the preorder. So I've done that :)

And... It's amazing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JP_:
Just spoken to Phones4U live chat (useless I know).

Seemingly my order (Pre-ordered weeks ago, upgrade on 02) is out for dispatch and the operator gave me a tracking number however I get the below message on the tracking site.

'Special Delivery™ Next Day items are first tracked when they have reached our mail centre. This may be late in the evening on the day the item was sent.

Information on your item is not yet available online.'

So it would appear Royal Mail Next Day Special is being used. Meant to be pre-1pm delivery also but doesn't look like that will happen.

Hopefully this might help those in a similar situation in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Ditto.

My tracking number also says "Information on your item is not yet available online."

Doesn't exactly fill me with optimism with delivery today, but at least I do have a tracking number I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JP_:
To be fair, I've had deliveries before through RM Special which haven't shown any tracking data until hours after the actual package was delivered to me.

So hopefully we might get it today!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
Got a tracking number for Royal Mail Special Delivery myself too. Not winding myself up about it now - if it appears tomorrow i'll be pleasantly surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floateruk:
Out of those of us who were lucky enough to get P4U to deliver this morning, who has actually been connected to their network of choice? I'm still waiting on o2. With no wifi at work it's like having a toy with no batteries. Looks nice, but can't really do much...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Snap! Also on O2 and waiting for activation. Its torture lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
My Orange account activated a couple of hours ago, but I've got Wifi here anyway. Waiting for my number to port across from T-Mobile on Monday now.

I've discovered the Facebook app doesn't present the "menu" dots so you can't configure contact sync, which is dull.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Google removed Facebook contact sync from the Nexus S, so I suspect it wont be on the SGN anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
Phoned P4U again, and told its being processed and that i have one!

Was also told that there is huge demand for the SGN!

N
