Ordered 16GB today

Well I didn't order one until Today. Used Google Play as I don't have time to go store hopping and have difficulty doing that anyway.

However, I have a 16GB Nexus 7 in front of me. Actually got it yesterday. A co-worker ordered on from Google Play when they first went on pre-order. He got it on Tuesday and handed me the box yesterday and told me to play with it and let him know how it is...

Might get to "play/keep" it for a few more days who knows. He already has a Fire, Transformer, Toshiba touch notebook etc... and bought a WiDrive which an other employee has been playing around with for months (just hooked it up works great with the Nexus).

So I kinda have my device before ordering it.

BTW...I really like it. Fast, GPS, screen is great, sound is good, only really lacking thing would be an SDCard... but it has a bit more than 12GB free on it when it starts and that is more than good enough for what I do...

3 Weeks? Even 4 won't be a real problem I don't think.
[Nexus 7 General] SpAM_CAN:
Been charged, Google Wallet not updated. 3rd July, UK, 16GB Model
[Nexus 7 General] kcodya:
07/13, 16 GB. Device just moved to the top of the Play store list. No shipping notice yet.
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
It is a fantastic device ain't it. My wife loves her's (when I aint using it lol)

I am waiting for mine arriving, wife's was ordered on day of opening pre orders.
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
Well here in the UK we have a set of rules that allow us to cancel orders at any point, which is what i initially used to leverage them earlier(at 11am my time, it was 11.45pm when i received the shipped email) and was told it would be cancelled and sorted, seems now it's been shipped though the only method for me to get my money back is to refuse delivery and wait until it's got back/been processed etc.

You really can't win with Google it seems, don't ship your item when you really want it..... Cancel the item and 12 hours later they are shipping it off to you.

The only saving grace is i really like the tablet(the 16gb version i bought from a retail store after my Play order was 'cancelled'), great bit of kit and easy to setup/use.
[Nexus 7 General] zetsurin:
My Sydney-bound tablet still appears to be "in transit" at LANTAU ISLAND, HK... That would be two days of going absolutely nowhere. At least the people in the US/UK seem to be getting notices a day before actually receiving them! This is bollocks. Maybe FedEx haven't updated the tracking details, but who knows how much longer it will stay like this, it's been the same for at least 12+ hours.

Ditto. US order placed after cancellation of zero day order.
[Nexus 7 General] zetsurin:
Good for you! I see you ordered on the 28th, which was one day before me, so good to see they are keeping things in order somewhat. Sadly, mine won't arrive until next week sometime, so if I ordered 1 day earlier perhaps I would have saved two days wait...
[Nexus 7 General] jBL.Qc:
Just received my shipping notice, shipped today - 16 GB, Canada, ordered 27th
[Nexus 7 General] ariesting:
Same here, 16GB in Canada
[Nexus 7 General] Matt1408:
Yup, got my 16GB shipped too :D
[Nexus 7 General] bcrook:
Same here.
[Nexus 7 General] l3ean5:
ordered mine on the 11th (says so in google wallet) but play store says 19th. No notifications, no charges, nothing. In california. They seriously need to compensate in a better way. It's stupid that preorders aren't getting priority. You would think that they would at least remove the shipping charges since people who didn't preorder didn't have to pay that preorder premium.
[Nexus 7 General] skyler0:
Canada 16GB here. Just got an email with shipping notification. Label is created. Tracking site says "Shipped by: UPS Standard", but the label hasn't been updated or anything, so perhaps that'll change?
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
Canadian here!

I just tried cancelling my order, and after speaking with both a representative and his supervisor; I was explained that while they are able to cancel some of the orders because of the longer wait times, mine couldn't be cause it has already started it's journey here. I ordered 05 Jul 12, so I'm hoping that means those of us who pre-ordered in the first week will see our tablets within the beginning of the 1-2 week period.

I'm actually marginally excited. :D
[Nexus 7 General] theLiminator:
Strangely enough, I just phoned them asking for a cancellation, done instantly (note that mine hasn't shipped yet). This is odd because I thought people were having issues cancelling, even despite it not shipping yet.
[Nexus 7 General] netiseret:
Just an fyi for people that may not know, but once you receive a tracking number (from Google or even the shipping label creation through My UPS) you can call your local UPS customer center and have them hold your package for will call where you can go pick it up usually starting at 9am. Just some info for impatient people like me, especially since these packages are afternoon overnights (the V13) meaning it will only be delivered after 1pm sometime. :p
[Nexus 7 General] Matt1408:
Sucks since I already got one from Futureshop. Now I have 2 (one being 20 bucks more)
[Nexus 7 General] IIIPowerIII:
Canadian here, I just hope that the nexus 7 will be shipped from Google Canada in Ontario and not from US or ups is going to rape me with their fee... And I'll have to call Google.
[Nexus 7 General] siewkaiyek:
hate to say this but i am pretty sure it will be ups standard which will take more than 2 days as all the canadians orders were using that too :(
[Nexus 7 General] SSK_:
Woohoo, finally some movement. i.e. Google Wallet charged, and UPS tracking number given.

Canada, 16GB, order on 27th

UPS Standard - is this normal?
[Nexus 7 General] siewkaiyek:
it would most probably be a clean delivery as we have already paid the 13% hst :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
They appear to have a different method for everyone, cancelled mine 13 hours ago and they said it would be processed and sorted, a hour ago i got the shipping notice for my tablet, now i am being forced to refuse the item once it arrives and have to fricking wait until it gets back to them/processed etc so i can get my money back. Half tempted to keep it an Ebay it.
[Nexus 7 General] siewkaiyek:
yes it is the normal delivery service (definitely takes longer than 2 days)
[Nexus 7 General] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Not sure what to make of this.

Google Play showed my order this whole time as being purchased on July 13th. Checked today and the order now shows today's date, but no update when I click on the purchase, just the same generic order # and "Your order was placed on July 13th a copy will be sent to Google... etc etc."

No pending transactions in my account either.

Ahhh well. We'll see lol.

Whiteice

[Nexus 7 General] maniac779:
16GB Nexus 7 Shipped in Canada

Just got my shipping notification.

Ordered 16GB during Google I/O on June 27th. Located in Ottawa, ON.
[Nexus 7 General] Alien---x:
I agree that would make me much happier, even more so if I could just go and get one at a store and have my ordered cancelled completely.
[Nexus 7 General] jmcging:
16G + both accessories ordered 6/27 at 11:45 AM EST to Baltimore MD Yesterday the 3 items moved from 6/27 to the top of the Play list with a 7/18 date and Visa got a pre-auth for full price. Sometime between 6 and 8 PM today (7/19) the date on Play changed from 7/18 to 7/19 but pre-auth still pending, not posted, Wallet still doesn't say anything charged and only shows the 6/27 initial order MyUPS remains blissfully unaware of the angst focused on getting a tracking number :)

Note the date changing on Play is new, likely because they should be splitting the order up for N7 vs accessories.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxNXS:
CANADA

#@$! :mad: Not even 24 hours after I bought it from my local Canada Computers because according to Google I had to wait 2 more weeks, GP decides to send me a shipping notice!

I asked for the order to be canceled yesterday and even removed cc info from Google wallet, but they managed to charge it anyway!

Now I may end up with a second N7. Wait till I tell the wife :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] XooLoo:
EXACT same thing with my order!! I ordered on 7/13. After seeing your post, checked GP, which now shows today's date. What is crazy is that the pending charge by "GOOGLE CHECKOUT SELLER" has been showing on my card since 7/13 as pending--just checked and it's still under the pending charges... Like you said,

:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
You can just refuse shipping, and all will be well :good:
[Nexus 7 General] l3ean5:
I had a pending charge from the 11th (when I ordered it) until like the 15th and then it went away. Hasn't returned yet. Just fyi, so don't get your hopes up yet.
[Nexus 7 General] JAppi:
Just got a email about my 16GB :D

Canada, Ordered on the 27th

Now what to do with the Nexus 7 I just bought locally...
[Nexus 7 General] FlareHeart:
Holy crap on a stick! I just got my tracking number! Canadian 16 GB! YAY!
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
As an addition to me asking earlier about using Kindle Fire cases with this, I got mine and went to best buy to compare it next to the kindle fire, and tried on some of the kindle fire cases, and to me there is just too much of a difference. I will not be buying a kindle fire case for this..

Also, how do you get the 10 dollar Google Wallet credit everyone keeps mentioning? i signed up on the nexus into google wallet, but i see no mention of a credit or balance...

Edit: Also, it says you can use Google wallet to make purchases at a cash register using the nexus 7? By swiping? Is that true? I never heard that...
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
same with me ordered 16gb 7/6 playstore updated yesterday to 17th and again today to 18th pending charge in bank and no other news. They promised all orders before 7/11 would ship this week so they basically have 1 day left
[Nexus 7 General] billzillski:
16gb 7/5 US - no tracking

I can't find any info from UPS regarding this. Assuming my tracking number comes late tonight/early tomorrow how much time do I have to get it in? Is it the first stop the driver makes or does it have to be changed before the driver gets it? If Google screws up again, is this an option for Saturday?
[Nexus 7 General] ni9htwi5h:
Is the shipping Standard or Two-Day?
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
Did you try adding the Prepaid Google Card? That's how it worked on the Galaxy Nexus. You don't swipe the register, you just tap and hold the tablet up to the MasterCard PayPass thing.
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Thanks! You are right, I just saw an email telling me to do what you said for the 10 dollars... So i guess to use the paypass you have to get that Citi mastercard? That sucks if so, my credit is bad so i know i wont get it..
[Nexus 7 General] l3ean5:
before the 11th or all orders through the 11th?
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
Actually, you can buy a prepaid MasterCard, and once activated, transfer the balance by topping up the prepaid card from Google.

Talking about it makes me miss when Money Network let me use the card in Canada. :(
[Nexus 7 General] Markusn82:
Just got a UPS tracking label. 16 GB ordered on June 27th from Toronto, Canada.
[Nexus 7 General] limbonik:
I haven't seen anything yet but a preauth. 7/5 16gb., no accessories, USA.
[Nexus 7 General] greatgoogly:
Here I sit 8:25PM EDT and my 16GB stand alone order from 7/7 is still not shipped. Was charged yesterday evening, but no email or indication in Google wallet that the N7 has really shipped. If Google screws the pooch anymore on this one, the ASPCA is going to be filing charges against them:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] MrSandy:
Mine is the same but am pretty sure that is not true. Its probably sitting at Sydney customs because the next time it updates the info will be when it passes through customs and arrives at FedEx's Alexandria facility. But because of the time takes to get through customs etc it will be almost end of the day so you can't expect it to get loaded on a delivery truck and arrive until the next business day which is Monday.

At least we know its on its way which is better than a lot of other people out there!! I really do feel sorry for the Canadians...

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

The $10 g\Google credit is only for countries which allow Google Wallet to be used for payments via NFC on your NFC enabled. If you are in Australia for example where they have not yet enabled this feature you will not be able to get it.
[Nexus 7 General] FlareHeart:
Standard, but I did a price quote from UPS and standard prices for the approximate box size and weight comes out to around $26 or so. So $20 isn't too bad I suppose. I'm still debating on whether to call about it.
[Nexus 7 General] nolook:
finally got my tracking for 16gb ordered jun 27th in canada....unfortunately its 5 day shipping instead of the 2 day shipping it shows on my bill...at this point im just surprised im getting anything at all from the google gong show...
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
With VPN's, root, and proxies, you can easily change your WiFi location long enough to add the Card ;). Ask anyone who added the card outside of the USA on their Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, etc... ;)
[Nexus 7 General] futuregerald:
NJ here, finally got a shipping label printed, no locations or updates but it says tomorrow is expected delivery date. Too bad I'll be visiting my parents...looks like I'll have my wifes parents come spend the day here to wait for the package lol.
[Nexus 7 General] svzurich:
Mine arrived less than an hour ago. Seems to have 80% battery on opening. I have it in its case and charging to full now. I love the size. Small, handy, and convenient.

I'll be powering it on soon. The feel of the back and case are nice. I had no issues opening the box, but I will admit to having a knife near the PC for opening items up. I just sliced through tape and opened. 1 piece on the bottom of the case's packaging, and 2 on the N7 box. It was no trouble at all to open it up.
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
This is the email Google sent me

Hello,

We wanted to send you an update on your Nexus 7 pre-order. We’ve had incredible demand for the new tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. If you placed your order by July 11, it will ship this week and we’ve upgraded to overnight shipping so it arrives sooner. Orders placed after July 11, will ship next week with overnight shipping.
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
i really hope mine comes in tomorrow before i go to work so i can actually root it...
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
when did you order and 16gb or 8?
[Nexus 7 General] slimdizzy:
Got mine this morning.

Ordered launch day. 8gb version. Canadian delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] MrSandy:
Yep aware of that but didn't want to confuse people with having to tell them about having to root etc. But yeah there is a whole xda thread devoted to get getting Google Wallet working in other countries :)
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
My mistake for thinking you were just unaware haha.

+3 internets for not wantin to confuse people, good on you. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
Wow now on the google play website the 16GB version doesnt say ships in 3-4 weeks anymore. it says sign up to be notified when the 16GB is available.

its a good thing i ordered mine 6-28... but im still waiting for it. either tomorrow or monday.
[Nexus 7 General] netiseret:
Most places can do same day will call but I mean it really depends on when it arrives at the center and gets put on a truck to go out. If it's an afternoon overnight your chances are good that if you get up tomorrow morning and have a tracking number you can call and have it held. I know for Friday you need to submit your tracking order before 7pm to do same day (otherwise you will have to pick it up Monday), but some customer centers do have Saturday will call (like the one by my house) but you need to contact your individual center to find that out.

Here is the UPS info:

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/time/service/value_added/hold_pickup.html

You can either call the center directly and speak to a person to schedule the will call (suggest this) or you can do it online by tracking your package, clicking on change delivery, select will call and then follow the directions. Hope this helps!

UK Play Store order

8GB model (no accessories available in the UK)

Ordered: 28th June 2012 at 3am BST

Shipping Confirmation: 6am BST 18th July.

Delivered: 2pm BST 19th July via TNT

Can't wait to have a play with it, will have to wait until Monday when I return home. Looking good though!
[Nexus 7 General] futuregerald:
I ordered on the 7th and it's a 16GB.

Awesome, I actually have a prepaid Mastercard from greendot, hopefully that will work, thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
Yeah but the original Chrome books were a free beta product carefully selected for developers,Not a paid Nexus product
[Nexus 7 General] Sizeth3:
Let me get this straight...

You guys are complaining about the shipping date of a Google branded Nexus 7" quad core Tegra 3 tablet running a version of Android that is so new it is the first device to ship with it for $199 with a $25 google play gift card and transformers thrown in. Come on guys, I could understand if it was $400, it costs pretty much half of any comparable tablet, and at the moment there isn't really any comparison. They are obviously taking some sort of loss on the 8 gigabyte version, I think we can cut them some slack. And for all we know they could be shipping tonight, you are complaining about a shipping date that you don't even know to be accurate. Chill out.
[Nexus 7 General] maggard5:
Exactly! We should get it at least one day before everyone else.

If not, the Play Store will definitely lose customers on the next preorder. Why buy directly from them and pay extra if there are no benefits?
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
Not to mention you can get reward points at Gamestop.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
See, this is the thing though. You most likely won't be able to just pick one up at your local GameStop later this week. GameStop is only getting the amount of tablets that were pre-ordered (and only assuredly the first wave orders) and then they will, most likely, begin selling out-of-store on the 31st. Just a guess on that day, but I do know for sure they're only receiving the tablets that were pre-ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
We paid $14 for shipping
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
Dude,Everyone chill out.I just spoke to Google & they said it's definitely shipping out this week.My guess would be tomorrow.Tomorrow is the 2 week mark so expecting them to ship before hand was just wishful thinking(Myself included)

I can say I'm pretty certain we will all have them on the same day as other retailer's
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
For some of us, the reasons for buying were more than the form factor. How does paying $400 for a tablet give anyone any more right to gripe than someone who paid $200, if the payment is still substantial?
[Nexus 7 General] djnarcotics:
This is f***ing torture

http://t.co/kvrmpc4g

Not to mention I think for everyone who is okay with receiving it the same day as other retailers I don't know about you but I'm not conform with that I think the reason why most people pre order is to get it before others can. Kinda defeats the purpose to have it same day as everyone else instead of just going out to a Brick and mortar store and just picking one up but that's just my two cents

We're all going to get them Thursday. Hold onto your sunhats.
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
I agree,Complaining about complaining doesn't help
[Nexus 7 General] lazaro17:
Agree with you. I meant more so I should've pre-ordered from GameStop if I knew the benefits including time of receipt was exactly the same minus $14. I know $14 isn't a big amount of money but more so thinking a lot of people were misinformed about what is the best route to buy the nexus 7 including pricing.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 General] andTab:
Totally agree.

Called Google (used their weird click to call - BTW why the F do they make you fill out the form if they then ask you for all that info):

they are being shipped right now.

You can call once you have a tracking number for a reroute, or not accept the package when it arrives (which is ****ing great since I have mine shipped to work where it will be 100% accepted).

I, for one, am really pissed off.

At the very least, I want $15 back for how they f'ed up shipping and handling!
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
If Google does ship to the B&M stores before the people who pre-ordered from the Play store, who also paid $$$ shipping, it certainly isn't the way to get return customers. I certainly wouldn't pre-order from them again.

Maybe they'll throw us a bone and include a Nexus Q with the Play store pre-orders! lol!
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
Oh yeah, connecting the dots:

The fact that Google Wallet is rolling out is probably a sign that that's where the $25 credit will go.

I just wonder about how feasible it would be to walk into a McDonalds and pay with one (after hopping on wifi).
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Highly doubtful. Would be nice tho.

I'm curious if those are shipping yet? lol
[Nexus 7 General] lazaro17:
Also keep in mind by rerouting/denying delivery/returning, the period of getting your money refunded can be up to two weeks.

[Nexus 7 General] dynamofc003:
Couldn't agree with you more. If anything, in the long run google will shoot themselves in the foot.. because they will lose direct orders when people will be smart enough to go straight to a store and save themselves quite a bit of money. Am I the only one who was quite upset when finding out the extra stuff wasn't exclusive to us google play purchasers? and I ordered on the 27th.

Canada 8 GB delivery received. Seems good so far. :) 20% charge though ?

I think I'm the (EDIT) 2nd Canadian to report delivery of any N7 on this thread. There was one earlier delivery report around noon EDT on the Canada thread and another about the same as me. So 3 Canadian deliveries confirmed between the 2 threads.

Ordered 5:32 PM EDT June 27, no accessories.

Received tonight at 6:43 PM EDT by my wife.

Do we Canadians get the Google Wallet $10 credit ?

I'm happy to see the Canadian 16 GB deliveries have finally begun.

I hope somebody "had a fire lit under them" (metaphorically of course) after the ridiculous 1-2 week delay Google reported.
