90% of this thread is information repeated ad nauseum. The part that makes it so interesting is that some people, even those who've been reading it since the beginning, still get excited about others having the hold charge cleared in their account as if that's some kind of shipping trigger. :highfive:

I got my cover from Amazon yesterday afternoon; I swear to you I held it for like five minutes imagining what it would be like to have the N7 in it. Then I realized how odd that was and put it away until my tablet gets here.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Those cases may work, but I'd be careful... The Nexus 7 appears to be a bit bigger and a bit thinner than the Fire.

Check out these pictures from the awesome Ars Technica review:

But, then like a dummy I reordered the 16GB on the third. :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
exactly and if it doesn't ship for 2 more weeks from today (possible because of the updated 1-2 weeks shipping) that would be the 24th of july before it's shipped which from 27th to the 24th you'd guess the earliest would be shipped on 11th (2 weeks) but then it might not be until the 18th (3 weeks) now it's quite possibly not ship for another 2 weeks from today, making the wait for some 27 days which is 6 days past 3 weeks.

[Nexus 7 General] KARNAG3:
Canada: Called Google for the second time, after a hour waiting on the line, they told me that tomorrow everything should be shipped for the people that pre-ordered. So basically the day after tomorrow at the latest I should get a email with my tracking number. They also told me that if I paid for 2 day shipping, it will be 2 days shipping and not 5 days shipping. I'll keep you guys posted as soons as I get anything from them.

Please post a picture of the shipping label, who's the sender.

Ordered two 16GB and two covers on 6/27 (US). Haven't been charged (just the initial preauth), no updates in Google Wallet or Google Play, no package tracking information, nothing.

Having called a few times now, I've been assured that my order looks "perfect" and it "should" have shipped / be shipping soon.

What a joke this is.

[Nexus 7 General] johninsf:
I have developed a (weak) theory based on responses to my last post: (Any email/notifications for those who ordered 16gb on July 3, 4, 5)

1. The pre-order queue for 16gb devices is being worked separately(slower) than new order queue.

2. As well, the pre-order queue is being worked from opposite ends toward the middle (Middle in Last Out).

Lesson Learned:

I do not have the patience for pre-ordering and, in concert with my obsessive nature, become intolerant of poor queue management. :)

Excellent. So people buying from both Curry's and eBuyer are getting theirs earlier than people buying DIRECT from Google. Ridiculous service.

I gave up on Google today - ordered the 16gb 4th July and have heard nothing since. Decided to order from Currys today and did at 3.50pm. Got two acknowledgments in 15mins and a Twitter confirmation that my order will with me Thursday PM. Google is a shambles ... Now trying to cancel my order from the play store. I've started deleting my credit card info from the play store. Hopefully that stops them from shipping me the order.

After waiting on hold for an hour, the rep told me I should get a tracking number by end of day tomorrow. Ordered two 8GB tablets on 6/28.

[Nexus 7 General] peh803:
So out of curiosity, for folks like me who pre-ordered but whose cards have yet to be charged (and there seem to be a lot who pre-ordered before me that have heard nothing), what are we to make of this text found on the google play "Help" (Devices -> When will my preorder ship)?

"We're now shipping Nexus 7 preorders. All US and Australia preorders are scheduled to ship by July 17th. UK and Canada preorders have also begun shipping in waves."​

I'm in Ohio. I pre-ordered on July 7th. However, based on this, I should expect to see a charge appear today and the shipment notification should be sent to me today -- right?!

Man, I wasn't sweating it much prior to finding this thread, but the anxiety of waiting seems to be contagious. So yeah, thanks y'all. :good:

Yeah just got mine too. Quite hilarious as I was just off the phone with Currys chasing when they were going to send them out given that they were selling them on next day delivery until a short time ago when they went out of stock. I was told there was absolutely no way that they were being released today and tomorrow was the date they could be released from the warehouse. Can't help laughing now. I'm so happy to see that it's being sent Royal Mail as I was told that it was going Yodel earlier which had me panicking as it would next week before I'd have seen anything from them.

They really evolved with the times. Most people think of them as just a synth pop band from the 80's. The addition of Christian Eigner on drums added a new dimension to their live shows too.
[Nexus 7 General] bigfatron:
No point *****ing about Ebuyer, they jumped the gun plain and simple. Whether or not Google take a dim view of that I don't know, although realistically as a business decision I doubt they will do anything other than give them a slight telling off.

As for Currys, I think i'm right in saying they've only started to ship today and no one actually has one in their possession off of them as yet? So at least some people will be receiving them from Google on the same day some are receiving them from Currys. And given couriers are creatures of the night then its still not a given that alot of units won't get formally dispatched overnight and delivered Wednesday via Google/TNT.

I just sent another email with order no to google asking to cancel this order (16gb), this total bollocks service and is I'm actually getting so annoyed with google that I will never buy direct from them again.

Phone lines are jammed, I'm not surprised, surely google should send out emails to us all, never known customer service like it.

What kind of a service is Google Wallet and playstore that I cannot even press a CANCEL ORDER button.

[Nexus 7 General] Nordendorf:
I'm sure they'll change it to say the 23rd tomorrow...
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is absolutely no evidence that Ebuyer sold before they were allowed. If anything it looks increasingly likely that Google pulled the release last Thursday at the last minute and if there was a miscommunication over that then it probably lies at Google's door.
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
I'm not really sure how I feel right now.

I pre ordered one 16gb device on the 29th June, and paid the extra money for their delivery just because of this reason. I assumed that those of us who got it through the play store would be prioritised.

But I'm sitting here now, no idea when my device will come, bank £210 lighter and people who have pre ordered through other outlets are getting their devices quiter, with better communication from the supplier and cheaper. I don't care if I get it a few days late, I just want to know what is happening with NY hard earnt money.

What is going on Google? Fair play to those of you who have ordered else where, but I simply cannot afford to pay do it with Google already holding the money in my account. I can't even cancel my order.

This isn't customer service, this is a disgrace.
[Nexus 7 General] jeepinmike:

I'm pretty sure someone posted here earlier that a Google rep on the phone said they'd jumped the gun. I also find it highly improbable that they alone would've shipped when no one else has until this week if it was all entirely above board, not mention unlikely the device would've been shipped in the UK before anywhere else.

Well no sign today guys, must go grab some well earned grub... but one last to always remember:

There is nothing wrong with your Nexus 7 Pre Order.

Do not attempt to adjust the Delivery timescale. Google are controlling all probabilities.

If they wish they can destroy your soul, they will bring up more fresh excuses .

If we wish to make it easier on our nerves, don't call them on the phone.

They have control of the fantasy. While we taste the harsh reality .

We can look at the beautiful images, make our hearts a flutter and dream. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the hours to come, sit quietly and they will control all the things you don't want to happen..

I repeat..... there is nothing wrong with your Nexus 7 Pre Order..

You have just participated in the great Google adventure. You have experience the awe and mystery which has baffled us all —

Welcome my friends to .... The Play Store Limits....

[Nexus 7 General] dudinatrix:
Pretty sure if the pre-auth is gone and there is no new charge, it's just because the bank only holds the pre-auth for X days before releasing it. That's how it works for AMEX, which I paid with. I ordered on 7/8, and the charge disappeared last night (8 days later, according to their help). No new charge is in place. Driving me crazy.
