Your thoughts?

From Reddit:

Hey everyone!

just received notice that we're selling Nexus 7 devices on July 12th for those who pre-ordered. Our Gamestop has just received a shipment of Nexus 7 devices and we're set to sell them to customers on the 12th. Oddly enough, we have a mixture of first wave and second wave devices ready, so those who pre-ordered after July 5th may still be able to nab one, but I think it varies depending on location. First wavers will definitely get theirs. So if you have the time, call your local Gamestop and see if they've received theirs yet if you're a little antsy on the wait.

EDIT: Just to confirm, Gamestop and other retailers will be providing the $25 Google Play credit + all extras that come from a device shipped by Google Play.

UPDATE: It seems that only some Gamestops are getting shipments in today, while others expect theirs to come in tomorrow.

UPDATE 2: It looks like some people are reporting that some Gamestops have been postponing the device's sale date further up.

Any new news about shipping confirmations? As I stated before the thread got deleted, My pending charge fell off today which must mean that it's not shipping until at least the 12th :(

Boo Sauce!
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
As much as I'm anxious, it could be anywhere between the 13th and the whole of next week until the 20th and still technically be called mid month. Since shipping is 2 day, there might be no tracking notification until next Wednesday as the latest. This is all without it actually being delayed.

If you are tired of waiting, just do what I'm doing and shop for a good screen protector and a cover/sleeve in the meantime. The plus here is that at least a few people have the device so there will be a nice development pace for this from the get go.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I'll post this again...

IF for some reason the stores have them well before you receive your Google preorder, you can either leave a note to refuse delivery OR you can have the UNOPENED box shipped back to Google.

This is from an e-mail directly from Google:

"If your package is returned due to refusal of delivery, your order will be

cancelled and refunded within 2 weeks.

If the package is successfully delivered in spite of the delivery refusal

note on your door, you can still refuse delivery of unopened packages

within 5 days of delivery. To do so, contact our shipping provider

directly to schedule a pick up of your package. Make sure to let them know

that the pickup is specifically because you're refusing delivery.

IMPORTANT: Don't open the package. Our shipping provider will not allow

refusal of delivery for opened packages."

So, I made a deposit to my bank account today, and when I got my receipt I was +$219 more than I should have had (since I used it to pay for my Nexus 7 tablet through the play store). I asked the guy at the bank and he couldn't find any indication that an order had been placed with or refunded by Google for any amount anywhere near that. The closest thing was a $9.99 book I bought through Google Play the other day. So I was like, WTF? Did it get refunded or something? I was missing that money from my account since the 5th when I placed the order, and up through yesterday I still had that charge on my account.

Anyways, I checked Google Wallet/Checkout when I got home, and the charge is still listed there as having been paid and blah blah, and I still have the invoice in my e-mail.

Any reason why this may have happened? It had to have occurred between 4am and, well, 2:30pm. Debating contacting them about this, but if they were to decide to give me a free tablet... I wouldn't complain!
[Nexus 7 General] Hipnado:
Think about it; As far as pre-orders are concerned, how can everyone get them delivered on the same day if the supplier is shipping them from one central location? Obviously, they can't.

My money is that UPS already has them in their possession and is distributing the stock to local distribution centers. That way, when Google pulls the trigger (Thursday???) everyone gets their delivery on the same day.

As for the stock already delivered to stores, obviously there is no need to hold this stock at a UPS distribution center since the stores can control when they release them. It will just sit in the back room until they get the OK to start selling

My money is on everyone receiving them on Thursday; pre-order Play customers and B&M.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Bank error in your favor collect a free Nexus 7..

No Its probably just they way you banks system works, once a pending charge disappears there isn't a trace of it until the full charge appears, at least not that the teller would be able to see.
[Nexus 7 General] thugjedi:
does ups my choice give the tracking for all packages to that household or just the one addressed to yourself because I had to sign up using my step dad's name because im 21 andI couldnt sign up because there is no public record for me.
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
Yep, not sure what it means in terms of your delivery though.
[Nexus 7 General] Noctrl:
According to another post it's UTI that made the delivery i Northern Ireland
[Nexus 7 General] Marshton:
I just called them as mine showed the same, they said everything was fine and it was a parcel from Computer 2000 (interesting) and was expected to arrive later today.

Give 'em a bell just in case your address is incorrect on the label or something :)
[Nexus 7 General] pillowtablet:
Ordered two (on the 5th and 17th) 8GBs and received the shipping confirmations yesterday at 5.30 PM. Tracking number didn't work right away, but I just tried them again and they're both out for delivery right now! UK, FYI.
[Nexus 7 General] badgerdeluxe:
UK 28th June order 16gb

No money taken, no email, no nothing.

I'm still seeing many others getting shipping emails, tracking info and receiving the actual tablet...still many with order dates after mine. It's not the end of the world I know, it's only a tablet and only a few days, but I would love to know how they are prioritising orders. Within the block of dates (pre-orders up to the 30th of June in the UK) they have promised to ship to by the 20th of July, they aren't shipping from earliest orders first. Now that to me is just a little odd, it's bound to annoy people.

Anyway hopefully I'll hear something today.

UK - 28th June order - 16gb
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
I really hope my nexus 7 gets here. my case i ordered for it is gonna be here tomorrow(from china and i live in u.s) and im hoping my nexus 7 will too so my case doesnt have to be so lonely lol

Mine is out for delivery, ordered 16GB on 28th, got my despatch email about 5pm last night. London, UK.

[Nexus 7 General] gyaku_zuki:
Never heard of them, found a website but the tracking is no good there either. Still hoping for delivery today, I do hope that, given the inability to even know who is delivering it, mine doesn't have a messed up address and sitting somewhere...
[Nexus 7 General] JPop360:
Well TNT have just told me that I would need to contact Computer 2000 about my

"Please Call" shipping status :/.

I may just call TNT again in ten minutes.

Well I have now received the UK delivery schedule generic email (1245am), so at least I know my order hasn't dropped into the Google/2000/tnt black hole.

Nothing on cc since my pending payment disappeared.

Cos I ordered on 10.7.12 I do know what to expect...... absolutely zip til the end of next week :-D

[Nexus 7 General] Starkerson:
Hi,

Long time reader first time poster,

Ordered 8GB on 7th July, heard nothing from google up until last night. As I was on the phone to PC World to see if they had stock I got my dispatch email from google, shortly after I recieved the mass email as well. My 8GB nexus is out for delivery today but no one is in to sign for it.

Went to PC World to pick up a nexus 7 and was loving it until I notice a line of broken pixels down the right hand side of the device. Not sure what is going on as I cant see it on a fully white screen and cant see it on a fully black screen (not a dead or stuck pixel?) but its noticable on yellow and light blue colours. Will be returning it later, hopefully for a replacement.

Im in the UK.
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
ive heard a lot of people has been getting their nexus 7 the day that they get the email from google. i think that when they finally charge you the second time(pending) is when they actually ship it. idk its just IMO cause my cousin got his like that..
[Nexus 7 General] Marshton:
Interesting Email from TNT confirming that something went wrong with UK orders at some point :)

Just an interesting little update for you lovely people
[Nexus 7 General] mtbgus:
Uk, ordered 1st July, stilll nothing at all.

I have emailed google 5 times and phoned them and they refuse to cancel my order (so I can buy from a local shop that has them in stock right now)

This is without doubt the worst I have even been treated by any company in my whole life, it's like smacking my head against a brick wall.

BTW, the price at Currys, UK has just gone up to £200.54?????

[Nexus 7 General] yelvieman:
At last, in the UK ordered 8Gb on 28th and got my dispatch confirmation this morning!

I'm hoping that it was sent last night and the email only went this morning and that it will be delivered to the office this morning but secretly know that it will arrive tomorrow.

Can't wait it will be a great addition to the collection and it'll be rooted asap.
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
first app im gonna download when i get this thing is dead pixel tester... i really hope mine is not one of the fked up ones >.>
[Nexus 7 General] nutley:
so i got my confirmation last night at 22:00 and its on the TNT truck for delivery today.

uk 16gb ordered 27th
[Nexus 7 General] zdshadow:
Gave up on Google

Well, I am one of the lucky people who ordered a Nexus 7 the day it was announced.

3 business days of shipping, and Google's first attempt to charge me came after 5pm on the 17th.

I'd already used the funds in my "frivolous purchases" account to buy a Nexus 7 at Sams Club though, so it declined.

In a few days, the order is cancelled and I'm done with ordering hardware from a software company. ( Should have known better )

Then, it turns out the Nexus 7 I got, seems to have been mashed in shipping, and the back cover won't stay closed securely.

Returned it, no more in stock for exchange.

Decided Google didn't really deserve my money after all that and went for the Asus TF300T 32GB instead.

I'm happier with ICS 4.0.3 anyway. At least Crackle, WatchESPN, abc.go.com, TV.com, and all my other favorite streaming media works on the Transformer Pad.

With the lag on "standards" propagation, it will take a while yet, to actually get on the HTML5 band-wagon. In the mean time, I will stick with what actually works. Bah Humbug!
[Nexus 7 General] chris100575:
My TNT tracking status is still showing as "Please call". I called them about an hour ago, and was told that it's out for delivery and will be with me today. :highfive:

I mentioned the Computer 2000 address ****-up, the guy I spoke to said that what was happening was that "Gordon House" was appearing in the address, and / or lines of the address were repeated. He said that the drivers had been told to ignore any reference to "Gordon House" and that if there was enough information on the label for them to find the address to deliver as normal.

UK, 16GB, Ordered 28 June.
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
Well, unless i get the email this eve and TNT somehow magically turn up at 10am tommorow morning, i won't be gettinfg mty hands on the tablet until nwxt Thursday. I would ring up and try to get my order cancelled but im sure there will be some lame excuse for not doing that to.
[Nexus 7 General] Ben-H:
Got shipping confirmation at 12:30 am this morning and it's out for delivery today!

UK, 8gb, ordered on 2nd July.

[Nexus 7 General] stejc:
Let me know when it comes. I'm also waiting for mine to come from Preston depot but I am in Southport.
[Nexus 7 General] Euthye:
Get intouch with your courier and make sure they have your correct address label on the parcel, not in the system but actually on the parcel or you could be in for a long wait, like I was and currently am doing
[Nexus 7 General] LMulryan:
Also waiting for mine to come from the Preston Depot
[Nexus 7 General] jmbillings:
To add to the comedy...

Mine arrived yesterday, but this morning I received an email from Google apologising for the delay, and telling me they will all be sent on the 20th and I've been upgraded to Overnight shipping!

Wonder if i'll get a second one...

:rolleyes:

[Nexus 7 General] mirror image:
I had mine delivered from the Preston depot about half an hour ago. Kudos for the TNT man for actually getting it here as the address only had the number and postcode!

Very impressive so far. I've never used a tablet device before so I'm pleasantly surprised.
[Nexus 7 General] chROMed:
Finally the bank charge just hit my bank account. Never been so excited to see $280 disappear, still no email yet from google yet with tracking #. Let's see how fast overnight shipping is, lol. I'll be thrilled to have Friday, ordered accessories from amazon last Friday and received them yesterday. Little worried about doa's and defects. Good luck everyone.
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
To be fair the number and postcode is all they need to find an address.
[Nexus 7 General] LMulryan:
Where about's are you? :)
[Nexus 7 General] svzurich:
I just received shipping notice. It is leaving out of Kentucky on its way to Nevada now. I hope it arrives today. With a term like Next Business Day Saver, and shipping after midnight, I could see it coming possibly Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] lostradiant:
Awesome! Are you in the US? When were you charged?
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
i cant believe tesco here in uk have stock and selling them for delivery or collect in store and i aint got any word for my order i feel robed now i put mt money and my trust in google only to be let down like this.
[Nexus 7 General] AUAnonymous:
I'm in the exact same position as you. I'm just glad I now know it's on it's way, I've waited this long I think I can wait until Friday if that's what I have to do (but hopefully not :p).

Info about my order:

Ordered July 6th, got charged the 18th. US, 16GB, no accessories.
[Nexus 7 General] svzurich:
They charged me roughly 24 hours ago, and just sent the shipping notice within the last half hour. Yes, I am in the US. Las Vegas is home. Soon I can start learning how to program Android and won't have to rely on my weak Droid Charge to test with! :D
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
Yup, what an utter gutting feeling.... I could reserve one for collection for 4pm tomorrow. Meanwhile if i wait for it to ship i'd only get it next week at this point it seems.

FFS. What a joke.
[Nexus 7 General] aberlourj:
TNT website is down again :(

Are there stores that have N7s available for pick up?
[Nexus 7 General] BazGibb:
I feel for you guys. I ordered mine on the 4th July from Google Play and at first I was fairly laid back about the delivery delay. But reading this forum and others the delay started to get right on my chebs. Took the plunge, ordered another one from PCWorld/Currys on Tuesday, paid £9.99 shipping for it to be delivered next day before 12 and sure enough it arrived yesterday morning.

Received a generic email this morning from Google explaining the delay etc and all orders would be shipped asap. When I ordered from the Google Store I used my Paypal debit card - I've now withdrawn all the money from that so that when Google do try and process the order there will be insufficient funds and they will have to cancel the order.
[Nexus 7 General] No_Nickname90:
LoL!! It's not that hard really. A lot of apps nowadays need that extra crap downloaded. And believe me when I say NetFlix WILL eat your data away. Especially if you do that instead of actually owning a TV. LoL!! I told my mom to take my box away since I don't even watch TV anymore. LoL!!
[Nexus 7 General] cse2k:
That is so tempting... As mine will be shipped by GP next week... wonder should I just go ahead and get it from tesco... :(
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
Out of interest, did your sorry we suck E-Mail say that all orders for the UK will ship by tomorrow or have they changed their tune again since i got mine?
[Nexus 7 General] emptybee:
Mine has arrive this morning (UK 16GB 28th June) and the cardboard box, that they've placed the Nexus box in alongside the measliest bit of bubble wrap, is smashed to **** and the package was beginning to open alongside one edge. I'm happy it's finally here and I've left it charging but it's just another thing to take the shine off and there best not be any dead pixels!!

emptybee
[Nexus 7 General] No_Nickname90:
Um...? You sure your PayPal debit card works that way? Because PayPal has gotten on me for insufficient funds before. I don't think you want to play around with that. Unless of course you've tried this before and it worked. I mean, my debit card was hooked up to my PayPal Smart Connect, so it just took it from my credit. So it's lyk having a credit card that requires a pin number.

A suggestion, by the tablet and sell it. I can guarantee you a buyer. Everyone is looking for this. LoL!!
[Nexus 7 General] BazGibb:
This is it, verbatim - it's that generic they don't even put your name on it lol

The Google Play Team

© 2012 Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you on your Nexus 7 product pre-order.

I got great news - anyone Northern Ireland might want to note. Confirmed that the courier for us is UTi. Your tracking code won't work for their online system, but I called the Dublin office and she took the name, found the destination address, and gave me an ETA of TODAY by 1pm :D

Not too far from Wigan. It was on the van at around 7:15 and arrived about an hour later.
[Nexus 7 General] dazzer1975:
OK after literally 24 hours my tracking number has started to work and states it is out for delivery.

At this point, I won't believe it until I have signed into my gmail account ON my nexus 7 and check tracking that it has actually been delivered.

My face will spontaneously combust if it doesn't arrive today, or start glowing right in the middle in the shape of a half eaten apple.
[Nexus 7 General] lostradiant:
I received my shipping email from Google just a few moments ago. It departed Louisville about half an hour ago with Next Day Air Saver. I can only assume it will come on Friday but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it comes today.
[Nexus 7 General] aberlourj:
I'm excited! I know some of you have not yet had any progress, which must be infuriating, but I believe all UK people should get their tracking numbers by the end of the day.
[Nexus 7 General] BazGibb:
I'm basing it upon the fact that I've used the card before to buy something and there wasn't the full amount in Paypal and because of that it didn't go though so I'm assuming that the card only lets you use the amount which is in your Paypal account as opposed to taking anything from your bank account. If it does its no hardship I suppose - it would sell like hot cakes on Ebay lol

Been noticing the "Google apologists" claiming that Google has lived up to their claims (or will) have been much less active the last few days. Still pop out of the woodwork every once in a while though.

And traffic seems down on this thread as many have received their pre-orders. Fewer of us left still waiting.

I hope/half expect to be among the first Canadians to get their June 27 8 GB pre-orders today. Hope all get theirs soon, especially the Canadian 16 GB first day orderers, who might still have to wait a few weeks, according to Google.

My N7 about 2 hours drive away...:

You can do that? So if we don't have enough money in our debit card, google wont be able to charge us? :confused:
