Hate to make you feel worst but I had a 5% discount voucher when I ordered from Currys so it was £189.99

On top of that I get £15 cash back through a scheme at work

That means my 16GB one thats on the way cost £174.99..........:victory:

Fed Up

Fed up with this whole debacle, I drove to Staples in Willamsburg, VA and picked up 2 N7s. They have one left in stock if you ask the "Tech Help" desk.
[Nexus 7 General] towelieee22:
I noticed that the prerecorded message was removed when you call CS. Do you guys think that means anything? Also the first two times I was disconnected right after I hit 1 for the preorder questions. Do you guys think they have a maximum call limit that hangs up after they reach the limit? I don't know about this kinda stuff so i'm interested in what you guys think.
[Nexus 7 General] VancouverBlade:
I ordered mine on June 27th from Google Play. It shipped yesterday with a delivery date (confirmed separately with UPS) for Monday 23rd of July - one whole week. I'm going to contact Google and ask for a shipping refund since it was very clearly 2 day shipping and metro Vancouver is hardly in the middle of nowhere.

I just went to Staples.ca and purchased a 16GB one which will be delivered for free tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] the5:
Mine just came! Unboxing is uploading!!!
[Nexus 7 General] jmcging:
Ditto - 30 minutes into being on hold - just noted we both have a TP running CM9 - soon to be replaced (well, maybe not soon.....) by the Nexus 7.

It's kind of hard not slapping those folks complaining that they ordered on July 9th and demanding their Nexus now... If they feel frustrated by the wait, imagine how it feels if you ordered the first day :p
[Nexus 7 General] iswope:
Got my tracking number over the weekend and it updated yesterday. On the truck for delivery today. I ordered on the 28th and have absolutely nothing to complain about with Google. Guess at this point I'll leave this thread. ;) Good luck everyone!
[Nexus 7 General] towelieee22:
I ordered on the 5th and i got nothing
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
That's pretty much how we all feel.

We all could have received it sooner, cheaper and less hassle from other retailers - that's not how pre-ordering (direct aswell) is supposed to be,

Few weeks ago, you wouldn't have imagined Google to be the last to hand out their own tablets for their own launch - embarrassing.

We definitely deserve something extra!!
[Nexus 7 General] Morningstar132:
60 minutes on hold so far, but I am going to get an answer tonight on why I'm still waiting for my 16gb to be shipped after I was told it would be shipped Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
yeah. ): I might complain as well.. I'm giving them their "2-3 week" estimate by the end of the week. If nothing, I want a shipping refund of some sort.
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
:banghead:
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
The TP with CM9 was my taste I decided I wanted a true dedicated Android Tablet. Pain in the butt to sell the TP I guess people aren't as excited anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] Larry Rutledge:
[SARCASM]So glad I bothered to pre-order during Google I/O so I could be one of the first to get mine[/SARCASM]

Ordered 8GB+case 6/27, bank pre-auth charged and subsequently dropped off (normal process) .. no new activity, no charges, no e-mails, nothing. Been on hold with Google for an hour so far.
[Nexus 7 General] k3v:
Anyone know the world record for replies to a thread?
[Nexus 7 General] silentbazz:
Argh!

The conspiracy theorist in me is now fearing the worst!

Hopefully this is just standard procedure before they charge our accounts for real?

Could this be an imminent dispatch?
[Nexus 7 General] shakinginboots:
Still no activity on my account. This is sooooo frustrating. If most companies had this kind of customer service, I'm pretty sure they would be out of business. I am giving them until EOD. If still no activity, I am putting a block on my CC and buying elsewhere.
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
All is not lost, Google are poaching Nick Buckles from G4S to sort out this fiasco.
[Nexus 7 General] towelieee22:
does anyone in the US know if retail stores are selling any cases yet?
[Nexus 7 General] miles.lynn:
Just spoke to a Google representative and he said we should receive information about our orders by Friday (UK).

Please bear in mind that I ordered a 16GB model on the 2nd July.
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Thank you man, im going crazy with how blind people are, following this thread for 1,000 pages and you still havent caught on to the fact that Google is the cause of the issues, not the retailers, that google HALTED sales on the 12th, the date that was agreed on as the release date and that GOOGLE themselves turned around 24 hours later on the 13th and Told the retailers they were no authorized to sell the stock. I personally saw the memo from Google to Gamestop when i picked mine up on the 13th telling them that they had the go-ahead and i personally witnessed a conversation between the store manager and the district manager, who was citing corporates email instructing everyone how to ring it up properly in the system, every possible step was done by these people to keep things by the book.

Dude really, i dont mean any disrespect at all but really?!?! First of all telephone CS reps will say anything, thats part of their job. Read my above post please, we know for a fact that initially the release date was the 12th, this is why all the retailers sites said on the 12th it would be sold and this is why everyone had stock, Google had to ask everyone to not sell on the 12th for God only knows what reason, and then the next day gave them the go ahead. When Gamestop, Office Depot, Sams Club, Ebuyer, and all those other places simultaneously say they cant sell on the planned july 12th release date, and all simultaneously on the 13th start selling and shipping their orders, its not some coincidence and its not jumping the gun or ignoring the street date, its a planned move at that point and honesty a necessary one, Google ****ing up is no reason to make all their retail partners lose face with their customers as well and **** people around like Google did. That was the only proper move that they made IMO

[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
Wtf mine was suppose to be delivered just now it updated and said failed delivery attempt.. Wtf.. Why..
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
I placed an order yesterday, figured I'd see how long it'd take (it said 1 - 2 weeks yesterday, it now says 3 - 4 weeks).

Will update when I hear anything, probably in a couple weeks. Will be shipping to Florida.

UPS hates people. Except when it comes to signatures.
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
Pretty sure the Post your screenshots thread in the themes section have way more than this
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
I haven't seen them anywhere.
[Nexus 7 General] Mustang7302:
I sold my 16GB Touchpad on the 29th for $160 via Craigslist, turned around and ordered a 16GB Nexus 7 the same day. Have been nearly three weeks without my own tablet, having to steal my wife's Kindle Fire running ICS. Today however, she gets her KF back as my N7 is on the big brown truck for delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Hmmm, I like that. I think I will borrow that from you verbatim and send that. Not that they will reply, they haven't replied to the last emails I sent.

I have to admit, I'm unimpressed with their lying (about all pre-orders being shipped within 3 business days) and absolute lack of communication. I know I defended them slightly previously, but this has now become an utter joke.

So, no replies to emails, no charge on my card, no update in wallet, no shipping info. It's like being left in limbo.

And the number of people who have had a poorly affixed back in this thread isn't exactly turning me on either. It sounds like they have some quality issues.

To be quite honest, I'm tempted to ring them and tell them to shove it up their arse sideways, but I'll give them until tomorrow before I do that.

Google, you can suck my...<add in whatever you feel is appropriate>. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
The difference is some people have at least a passing interest in this thread.
[Nexus 7 General] joedoe:
Just off the phone with Google. They told me that because they have to open box with cases and place the tab and the case in a bigger shipping box all orders with the case will be delayed hopefully only till the end of this week.

Doesn't it sound ridiculously?
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
you just bought it yesterday? congrats, you may just get it today.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
holy **** that's racist!
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
That really is still pretty poor, that means that we may be waiting until next Wednesday for an actual delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] Big_Ted:
heh heh heh
[Nexus 7 General] MarkyMark8609:
They can (pardon my French) **** off if they think I'm waiting until Friday for "information" about my order when they've taken my money on Monday!

It's baffling how someone high up at Google hasn't just come out and said "Sorry guys, we messed up. Have an extra £15 on the Play store on us (£10 for the shipping and an extra £5 to say sorry).

Simple, and the money they'd lose on it would far outweigh the bad PR they're currently getting within their fanbase...
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
It's been 11 hours since my shipping label was created. Here, it was 3:30am. It's now 2:10pm... no news.

Google said it shipped yesterday... how can that be so long? The guys at UPS didn't do anything today?

8gb 06/29 no case
[Nexus 7 General] Hal_The_Hacker:
I ordered a 16gb from play store UK on the 27th..... still nothing, no email, no play or wallet orders jumping around. And no bank charge :(
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
:laugh:

I ordered on 7/14, it shipped on 7/16, and somehow it arrived today. I feel guilty. ...Almost ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Yeah I figured they seem to be going LIFO so I may luck out while screwing over the FIFO folks.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
I think you misunderstand the whole concept that Google was going for. They were going for a Global launch of this product. They said that during their presentation at Google IO so UK was to launch the same day as everyone else.

There is loads of evidence that retailers changed their dates and most of that info came out of the US where shops were telling customers that their products were ready for collection however when they turned up they were told that they had a communication from head office to say that an embargo had been placed on the sale and worse still no date for release could be given.

All it took was one little error in that communication of the embargo being placed on the sale for things to go wrong. It looks like Ebuyer just happened to be the one that either didn't receive the communication, or received it too late to stop their sales or they could have equally ignored it.

As for Google Reps and their stories, well it looks like they have fanciful imaginations when it comes to dealing with irate customers. Tell them anything so long as it shifts the blame from Google to get that damn person of the phone reasonably happy.
[Nexus 7 General] Eeescape5:
It was 18 hours before I actually had any movement at all for my shipping label
[Nexus 7 General] biggggant:
dang....My GP order got here and our receptionist wasn't here so she couldn't refuse delivery now I have to deal with Google I guess

I think it's more like FKUP
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
I ordered on the 10th and the order was placed on the 11th, its on the truck for delivery right now. Im happy to a degree but more than anything im disgusted, i wanted my order to get here on the first day it was available because everyone else did too and they just had that many in stock and they appreciated the loyalty and they were trying to make up for taking forever to process peoples shipments, not because they are morons and they took 2 weeks of orders, put them in a pile, and then started fulfilling those orders like a child, starting at the top of the stock (newest orders) and working there way down, and never ever getting to the original orders because they keep having new ones thrown on top. Its ridiculous, all of it, but the most ridiculous part of it is quite simply that i can come in here to say that my order from the 11th is out for delivery, thats beyond pathetic and just a downright direct insult to everyone who pre-ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:

[Nexus 7 General] elias0441:
hmmm there could be different causes:

1 signature might have been needed.

2 ups truck got in an accident.

3 driver too slow, so couln't finish route

4 driver stopped to buy some ice cream ( it's too hot out there man).

5 driver got shot.

6 ......
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
FFS, Google Play says that all Australian pre orders were scheduled to be sent by 17th, it is now the 18th here, and all I have is a charge on my card - no shipping info.
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
where's all the talented photoshoppers here to give us some relief?
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
ahahah I can clearly see that happening
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
So, they have not started shipping 16gb models in UK yet?

... only 8gb?
[Nexus 7 General] nerdlinger:
Ordered the same date (GPUK), bank was charged 16th July, as was a colleagues who ordered 45 minutes before me.

His arrived today.:mad:

What a mess.
[Nexus 7 General] jonkrav:
Is Google seriously taking the piss now?

I ordered on the 27th of June (like many others already mentioned) and still no update. However I can order from a number of UK stores right now and have next day delivery. What the hell is this?

To those who say stop whining you will get it eventually etc can you not see how crazy this is. Imagine the new iPad came out and people queued to show their support and buy the new item first but then Apple lets everyone step infront of them, obviously thats an extreme example but that is what it feels like!

Such a shambles.
[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
I'm sad. I'm running around to get it
[Nexus 7 General] gobbo:
They've not started shipping my 8Gb yet!
[Nexus 7 General] Exino:
Looks like on the east coast of Canada it's easier to just buy it from some random guy online...two brand new 16 GB Nexus 7s on sale locally for pick-up on Kijiji.

http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...IB-with-Receipt-25-Credits-W0QQAdIdZ396950194

http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...Box-with-Receipt-25-Credit-W0QQAdIdZ396934173

Fingers crossed mine ships some day soon. I'm half tempted to go buy one.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Don't worry there has been weird stuff going on with Pre-Auth and charges. Basically Google has lost their mind and are running around pushing random buttons at HQ. I have heard nobody state that their order was cancelled erroneously yet, although I have thought the same regarding my order that was placed on June 27 and I have seen nor heard anything from them! But I think we just need to be patient until the end of this week and if we are none the wiser by then then we scan call Google and tell them to forget about it!
[Nexus 7 General] ddialogue:
Interesting.
[Nexus 7 General] elias0441:
Listen, don't let explode on you right now.

You ordered on the 10th and it's on it's way to your house....be thankful.

Alot of people who ordered on the 27th including me, the tablet hasn't even shipped yet.
[Nexus 7 General] MarkyMark8609:
You missed us a few pages back ;)
[Nexus 7 General] :
Yes, I think they are. They don't give a ****, that is the problem. They couldn't care less.
[Nexus 7 General] mtbgus:
UK, ordered 1st July 16gb, no emails, no money taken from CC, no nothing from google.

I hope people remember this and don't forget it as soon as their Nexus 7 arrives.

Like it or not, we are all witnessing history here.... THE WORST RELEASE OF A GLOBAL PRODUCT EVER!
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
i saw those today. we need more
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Great to get a first hand account of this. It was patently obvious that followed this thread what was going on.

We had even more evidence today confirming a much earlier release date when people started posting their shipping label info from the US with some having been created on the 10 & 11 July and with 2 day shipping that would have devices landing on peoples doors on the 12th/13th. Surprise that just happens to be the date that all the retailers were geared up for :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] ElSteverino:
June 27th Ordered 16GB version

July 11th Order Processed: Ready for UPS [from UPS tracking data]

July 13th Card charged

July 14th Received shipping notice from Google

July 16th UPS origin scan Louisville, KY

July 17th Delivered in Kansas City
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Firstly man that is a nasty looking X-Ray!

Second they haven't even got to the US 16G orders. I haven't received even a shipping notification yet and I ordered only hours after the announcement on June 27!
[Nexus 7 General] crankcaller:
Ordered 28/6, 16gb

Now onto my 2nd credit card pre-authorisation.

This is my first ever pre-order of anything and I've kinda been soured on the whole deal.

Can't believe Google &or Asus have F'd this up. Tbh, I can't see me getting this before next week at earliest.

Could probably have picked one up in currys or HMV before then.

Folk ordering this/last week getting them first? Madness...
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
Am I the only one who feels that the mods should allow the use of the C word in this thread?
[Nexus 7 General] Morningstar132:
After a 65 minute wait I'm basically told I should have a tracking number as the second charge has been applied, and that he will push it to his supervisor to find out what is going wrong. Then got the "I don't have any information yet on my own order" spiel.

I'm currently debating ringing the Dublin number tomorrow and telling them to cancel my order If I haven't heard anything by the morning.

16gb, ordered 27/6, UK
[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
relax. seriously. my label was created on 7/12, and it wasn't shipped until 7/16. They're preparing a lot of orders for shipment.
[Nexus 7 General] nerdlinger:
Damn it! My new fridge hasn't turned up either!

My pizza better turn up, or, or, or, or, i'll...:mad:

Oh wait, it's being "quality controlled" (the pizza, that is).
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
Yes...this is a catastrophe.
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
I wonder what our good friend Google apologist, Hemmroid would have to say about this cluster... I mean it totally makes sense that people who ordered from GP last week are already getting their order while people who ordered 20 days ago are still getting the shaft.

My Nexus was delivered today sitting in my apartment office for me to pick up when I get home. I ordered a 16 gb on the 27th. I feel for you fellow pre-orderers. :(
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
What "CLOSED" :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] samg77:
Sorry, I ment to say 16GB. They should have made a 32GB, I would have sprang an extra 50 for it.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
anyone still want to discount my theory that google recalled tabs sent to shipping hubs for issues?
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
No, he meant clusterf#%k
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Oh i definitely am thankful, i had already luckily picked one up at gamestop on friday 13th, a pre-order someone cancelled, but when i saw the play store order was coming today i sold the one i had to another member of XDA in new orleans so i could spread some of the love and give someone else the chance to be happy too, the guy drove to my house at 2am this morning to get it, he was happy and i was pumped to be able to give that to someone, knowing how good it feels to get ur hands on it. I was just saying i feel bad for everyone else, and its a disgrace and certainly doesnt instill in me any faith to pre-order next time a device is launched, which agrivates me because next time a new nexus comes around, i dont want to sit around trying to figure out who to order from because i dont feel like i can trust google.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
- indeed, was nasty. :-)

Yeah, I ordered on the 27th June too, - seems like nothing is happening. :(
[Nexus 7 General] silentbazz:
Not sure if this means anything but..

PC World in the UK are now showing expected dates of 24/07/2012 - do they know something we don't?

Was just looking to see what the status was with other retailers..
[Nexus 7 General] haptep:
Just got off the phone with Google after waiting on hold for an hour and a quarter. I ordered a 16GB Nexus 7 on the 6th (haven't been waiting as long as some, I know) and haven't been charged since the pre-auth nor has anything happened on my Wallet account or on the orders page on Play.

The CSA I spoke to said all orders should have shipped today and that he was going to escalate my case to a 'special team' to get me a tracking number. I asked him if my order had shipped and he said 'it should have'. I get the distinct impression they have no idea what's going on.
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
I did the same, but I upgraded on the 5th. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see. I have a second charge from Google pending ... so here's hoping we'll get it sooner rather than later.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
Those look nice, but I am unsure about ordering kindle cases for the nexus... close enough might not be close enough.... Just sayin' :)
[Nexus 7 General] :
galaxy nexus s update

http://t.co/uZbSOI0a
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
So lets say they are shipping in wave with the first wave going out today, the 2nd next week, and the 3rd the next week and so on. So the first wave is full, but there is room on the second wave possibly. So some or most of the orders made today will go out next week or in "1-2 weeks" but lets say it fills up and they go out on the 3rd wave, it is still 1-2 weeks. So I think that number doesn't apply to orders before the 1st (since that seems to be some sort of cutoff), but seems to indicate they are moving to some sort of weekly shipping or something. When I made my order it said 2-3 weeks so I am still expecting it to go out before the 18th.
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
I know it was said before, but then they switched it back to 2-3 weeks, it's new that they shaved a week off today. So it is new news.

This thread is awesome, it's already a community even thought the Nexus 7 hasn't even shipped yet.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
When they said mid-July.... what do you guys think July 10-20th?

That is what I am thinking that sounds mid to me.
[Nexus 7 General] xilefian:
Mid July would imply Sunday 15th/Monday 16th, so I'd say the week of the 16th (Next week).

The excitement is killing me, but I'm trying to convince myself that it is shipping on the 19th so then I won't keep checking every two minutes. Just that I ordered this so I can start experimenting with producing tablet apps at work so it will really help if I got it sooner rather than later.

I'll just have to wait until the 19th [speculation date].
[Nexus 7 General] budde2:
OK I called Google and ask a question I ordered my nexus on the second and ask if there was time to cancel and she said today is the last day that I am in the second group of shipping so it sounds like those who ordered before will maybe get this week
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
I just follow this thread.... it will blow up when orders start dropping...LOL

i don't have to check anything else, I had it shipped to work so I did got check the UPS delivery when I saw the driver earlier today.
