I can now confirm that the dates GameStop are giving people are just estimated dates and not the actual date you will be receiving your Nexus 7. I emailed them last night asking if the dates were estimates and this was the reply I received:

I decided to further investigate by speaking to a GameStop employee on the phone. The employee I spoke with was very helpful and polite and she asked someone who was higher-up than her about the release dates that us who pre-ordered at GameStop have received. She told me that the dates we were receiving were estimates and that if they had the tablet any sooner we would be receiving an email or text message depending on where we ordered.

So I'm glad I cleared this up and I'm really hoping that I don't have to wait until August to get this tablet in my hands!
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
Just got off the phone with a CS rep for play store. They are ordering 10000-12000 A day to fill orders. No waves they will ship out as they receive them. They will ship everyday except Saturday and Sunday. Not just on Mondays. Chances are we will see them sooner than later
[Nexus 7 General] pittphan:
My immediate reaction to the statement above was that it made absolutely no sense at all.... then I thought about it.... and, yep, it really makes no sense at all :sly:

If they were shipping them all at once then there would be no need to take orders in waves in the first place!

Really? C'mon now!
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I think those most significant information that can be gathered from this thread is that the CS reps don't really know anything. Shipping in waves, processing in waves, shipping as they arrive, shipping every 2 weeks, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] MC153:
How do you know they're taking orders in waves in the first place? So far we only know that gamestop is doing them in waves. So far every Google rep has said different things. To me waves don't even make sense.
[Nexus 7 General] djnarcotics:
asked to change my shipping address and this is what i was told i thought you couldn't cancel anymore only refuse deliveries ???
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
Wtf, Google needs to sort out their customer support. I was told I couldn't cancel, maybe I should email them and try to change my address?
[Nexus 7 General] TaintedByte:
This was already posted by at least three different people. And it's not just Google, a lot of online retailers can't cancel orders after a certain point. Just refuse delivery when it arrives.

I really think the highest and best use for this forum is to print it off and use it for kindling.

No release needed.

[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Terrible video...
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
I would be sh*tting bricks knowing my device is there to be had and I couldn't get it. So I feel your pain. I called around to gamestops on the 11th to see if they would have extras and some said yes, first come, first serve, so I was going to try to buy one for a friend that's having a hard time right now and really wanted one.

I think there's always a chance, especially since Google seems like they're giving them the responsibility. Like my Dad used to tell me, "nothing beats a try, but a failure."

Working in retail, I know that managers are under a lot of pressure to please the customers, especially if they can't come up with a good enough reason not to.

If I were you guys that preordered from gamestop, I'd show up right when they open. If there are 5 or 6 of you there when it opens and you present a united front... Some of you might just walk away with the Nexus tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
The problem is that the workers at my GameStop are actually very polite and have gave me a ton of info on everything that's going on. So the last thing I want to do is annoy them for the next few days. I'm hoping that if Google really doesn't care that the retailers just go ahead and release them. It seems like that will be likely if people continue calling and asking. I called the nationwide GameStop contact number and the girl I spoke to seemed very, very aggravated, so they must be getting tons of calls about it. And, yeah, waiting was bearable, but knowing that my Nexus 7 is literally ten miles from my house is horrible.
[Nexus 7 General] Gibsonflyingv:
It'll probably be made and out of theaters and ready to ship by the time we get our nexus! So I would have to say yes!
[Nexus 7 General] Beta Max:
No Gamestop in Hawaii is selling. I called out of curiosity (crazed) and dude said they are taking pre-orders. No release date yet.

Went four minutes without a post. Just making sure something isn't wrong ;)
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
I call BS...not saying u lying about what they said...I just don't believe it shipped already.nor get an email...wouldn't we get the email already???

I wish it did..but I just don't see it happening
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
Finally some action in my gmail. I brought up my iGoogle home page, clicked refresh on the gMail applet and the computer crashed. I had to reboot to find out no new emails..
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
We should all get together and stay up all night calling google! I'll bring the popcorn!
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Would it be possible that lets say i get a email saying its been shipped at 3am in the morning. Does ups work all through the night or no? I live 5 hours away from Google HQ So i think when/if it does ever ship ide get it in a day? Right or no
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Hahahahaha
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Does ups work weekends? Man i highly doubt this is true but plz plz plz be true
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
I'm sure what he's saying is true because that's what I was told too but I don't think the CSR meant shipped to our homes yet but shipped to the shipping warehouses so if it is true (I sure hope so) then that would mean they are shipping from the hubs or warehouses to our homes and that's when we will get our emails followed shortly by a million and one unboxing videos
[Nexus 7 General] BaconStep:
Thread over run with ****ty reddit memes time to abandon ship
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
You don't have to be mean to them. Explain your side. If they say Google won't let them sell it to you, ask for a copy or to see verification of Google's orders (and please take a picture of it, we'd love to see that). Likely, if they can't sell them, the POS won't even allow it, so ask them to just try. If the traction goes through, float a few compliments, and skip out with your Nexus in had.

I would try it, but having preordered other stuff from gamestop, I know you have to be in the system and prove you preordered it.

Just try it... you never know.

[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
Have you spent much time with humanity? The world is full of disorganization every day. Although I was hoping Google was immune
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
Could work, but the email definitely does exist and there have been some screenshots of it posted in this thread (no idea where). Today I went to another GameStop in another town because my friend was looking at a store beside me. One guy was working and I asked if they had it and he was like "Yes. But we're not supposed to sell it." And I was like "Well, could I at least see the box." "No. You can't. Apparently something went horribly wrong on Google's side or something." Of course, he had no idea what he was talking about because nothing really has gone wrong, but I think this shows how hard it would be to convince any GameStop to do anything. And apparently when they do ring the device up, a ridiculous price comes up (I've heard $25,000).
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Ok, please stop with the memes. It's funny to see Ronald McDonald every 50 pages, but it's not funny to see nothing but memes...

Along with an ad blocker, we need a meme blocker. And using dead folks in memes - is just poor taste.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
I heard that google is making ups unpack every nexus 7 and power them on, connect to wifi and download an OTA before we get them. It's to fix a problem where chrome browser ends up displaying only memes. :laugh:

Yeah I understand that but I'm not saying it's 100%,I know just as much as all of you. All I was saying was it's possible & I'm hoping it is
[Nexus 7 General] TahrirSquare:
In a few hours we should know if people in the UK got them from Ebuyer or not
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
I did see the post of the internal memo from staples... I think. However, the voice message from the Play Store's customer service line now states that retail stores are subject to their own policies... so you never know. Maybe the no sales til further notice has been lifted.
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I can't believe people are actually suggesting to try and persuade GameStop employees to give out N7s...

The workers at my GameStop are hardcore zealots, a few of them have denounced their religion for the store
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
For another totally unfounded rumor, I am sort of expecting Nexus 7 release to coincide with JB 4.1.2, where Google takes a stab at heading off a possible patent suit.

Software change in progress is all I can think of that would cause this kind of thrashing around and delay.
[Nexus 7 General] StealthTH:
Little meme I cooked up....
[Nexus 7 General] misanthropic777:
Having ordered mine directly from the Play store within 2 hours of the announcement and not even seeing my card charged yet, let alone a shipping notification, this would kind of make me cranky. What was the point when people can order from another vendor and get it sooner.

(I know, I know, we all seem to have our panties in a bunch tonight...)
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
There really is no hope in persuading them. The only way you can buy one is if you spend like $25,000 for it and also if your GameStop ignores the email sent to them by Google. What I'm talking about is the possibility that GameStop will be able to give them to those who pre-ordered tomorrow since Google seems to not care about retail stores anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] theoneofgod:
Mine is shipped, and on van for delivery. It should be here within 6 hours.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
...I was on the Play Store refreshing the Devices section the instant they announced it was available during the I/O keynote and had got the order in within 1-2 minutes. I'd definitely be cranky. Although I'd be more cranky about having to pay more than I would have from other retailers, and then still getting it later. That's a nice kick in the nut$ for a loyal customer that practically jizzed themselves the second they heard it was up for pre-order.
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
And you live where again. I would prefer gmaps directions if you dont mind?
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:
If that does happen, I could see google crediting play store pre-order accounts $15 just to cover the shipping to save face.

Would I rather have my device? Absolutely.

Would I scoff at a credit as a means of countering retailers? Absolutely not.
[Nexus 7 General] doctahjeph:
I say give us $50 instead of $25 and they can keep the Transformers movie...
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:
I would not be opposed to this either. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
They should really just take the Transformers movie anyway. Seriously, is anyone going to actually watch it?
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Google would still have to notify Corporate themselves, no customer is going to convince them of anything because the price of the nexus in their system was changed to $99,999.99 indiicating it cant be sold and instantly setting off red flags to any one who attempts to.

[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
No.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I share your pain. If what's being said is true and Google doesn't care about the retail chains anymore, GameStop could possibly start releasing them as early as tomorrow. Don't take that to be true, though.
[Nexus 7 General] gbjohnson:
"Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda", "from my Nexus 7 using", "my Nexus 7", why must you rub it in.

'Loaded on to vehicle for delivery'

Any hour now :-)

Looking forward to reading the post match analysis on this launch, seems a bit disjointed. Wonder how / why ebuyer have managed to shift hundreds ahead of the GP pre orders?
[Nexus 7 General] doctahjeph:
If what was reported is true all the Voice memo from Google said was "If you purchased from another retailer, go ask them..." That could mean anything, but more than likely doesn't mean ****. I am sure these "other retailers" will all say "well we haven't got the go ahead from google yet."
[Nexus 7 General] Shamushand:
I gotta say, this thread was a rather depressing waste of a day... thankfully my weekend is packed, so I'll be distracted enough to just accept the fact that it gets here when it gets here.
[Nexus 7 General] theoneofgod:
Sadly it's true mate. It's 6:30AM here, I have delivery expected before noon.
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:
GameStop has too much potential profit to lose via credit exchange for devices to piss google off to the extent of being blacklisted for not listening to their request. I highly doubt they will release them before they get the green light.

Given that accessories are near null for brick and mortars, GameStop has nothing to lose by playing by the rules.

[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I know they're not going to release it without the green light. I'm saying if Google is saying that retail stores can do whatever they want now maybe they'll begin releasing them. Then again, Google has not been straight forward with this, so I doubt this is what will happen.

Read the comments in that article. You'd have saved yourself and me some time and hassle. When someone gets a shipping confirmation, you won't have to scroll through more than a page or so to find it. Until then, all reports of shipping N7s are just click-bait.
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
Pfft, BGR.
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
How would it be BS. The only play store people that should be upset is those that ordered it before the preorder at gamestop. One of my subscribers on youtube preordered hers on the 29th. Shouldn't she be able to get hers, like everyone else who ordered them on the 29th? According to what people are quoting from Google, EVERYONE that preordered theirs before July 1st should be getting theirs Saturday or Monday. She certainly falls within that category, right?
[Nexus 7 General] chronicle:

Many people include myself and the I believe the person you are responding to here preorder from the play store before any other store was carrying the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I don't think you understand. They actually can't sell the Nexus in advance because 1. The Google email and 2. When they ring up the device, it rings up for like $25,000. So it's definitely going to be a decision of one of the heads of the company on whether or not they'll be releasing pre-orders tomorrow, not just some negligent employee selling it because they can.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
You are over thinking their ....BTW I ordered on the 27th so what's your point??? What r u trying to even say??? I'm talking about me!! Who also ordered before or little friend..so or point is???? ......
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
I sure did :) idk what his point was...nor what he was trying to say...
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
I had great luck getting the HP TouchPad. I got mine at staples (the manager wasn't to happy that she didn't know about the price change, lol" I was the first one in line and they only had three. I wish I would have bought two, because there were only four of us there and the guy behind me bought the last two. I would have sold mine to the 3rd guy (at cost). I guess I'm a softy.

Then when I got home an told my sister, she was upset I didn't get one for her (But I did try to call her an entire hour to ask if she wanted one). But after 20 minutes of research, I found that J&R was selling them, called them up and we bought 2 (one for my sister and 1 for my niece). We didn't buy them to over charge people, like others.

I put installed android on them a while back. It's a great device.

[Nexus 7 General] chronicle:
That's just playing nasty! Lol.
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
It still doesn't negate the fact that she falls within the preorder date to receive hers by Satuday or Monday right... I mean don't you think that would suck for her that she doesn't get it to. She preordered it on the 29th... I think she's entitled to her purchase. She is in the 1st wave delivery window. "Everyone who ordered them before July 1st..." right?
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
No, but seriously I hope all is good with it. I know a ton of people here are going to be bitter that some are receiving them earlier than others, which is sad considering soon everyone who ordered one is going to have it in their hands.
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
People like to feel like independent thinkers by going against others logic. I'll say it again: When you are among the first to order from the only place selling a ____ device at _____ time, are you not expecting to be getting it before anyone else? When people complained about the shipping cost everyone said "well hey thats what you pay to get it before everyone else" and now those same people are arguing that their own logic doesnt make sense
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
You ppl are so dam negative lol..wow :p
[Nexus 7 General] :
Mines just arrived :) UK Ebuyer
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Ive got no issues personally with someone else receiving it before me now, if its sitting at a store it might as well be sold. My issue is with Googles lack of planning and not making sure we did get it before or at the same time as everyone else, and even worse in my opinion once they realized they effed that up forcing the stores to not sell and go back on their word and sour relationships with their customers just because google made a mistake.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
What the hell is your point ???? I was talking about myself ..who ordered before ur little girlfriend anyway.....so chill out and stop ragin ..I never nor did he say anything about ur girlfriend not being entitled to get one...lol ..I said I would be pissed if retailers sells them before mine ships....

[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
Agreed. But when everyone from the Play store began complaining I guess that Google listened. In a way, it makes it more fair. But then, like you said, the devices just sitting at chain stores might as well be sold. Us who pre-ordered form a chain pretty much just have them sitting in a box in front of us, unable to open them.
