lol

I ordered the 16g N7 on June 27th at 2:40 e.s.t. from GP...about two hours after it was revealed at I/O. I would imagine I would be in the first wave, but have received nothing from Google or UPS My Choice indicating a shipment, and my bank account still has not been recharged since the original hold disappeared. Goggle stated a mid July ship date, and Google has said nothing since. If they shipped out tomorrow, they would be ahead of the "mid July" schedule...just saying. I am as impatient as the next guy, to the point that I hardly ever order anything online I can buy in a store, even if it costs more. Everyone freaking out are sounding like the spoiled little kids who didn't get what they wanted for their birthday. Am I p*ssed others may get theirs first? He11 yes! Do I blame Google...no, I blame retailers who can't follow simple rules. I really love that the people who pre ordered in the last couple of days seem to be crying the most.

for the record, at this point in time, I have seen no proof of anyone actually receiving an N7 besides those that got one at I/O. All claims otherwise are just claims....I could sit here and tell you guys how great my N7 is that I have been playing on all week and how smooth jelly bean is...just because I say it, doesn't mean a thing. I keep picturing 10 year old's who are getting good laughs when they post some ridiculous non sense about getting theirs today, and watching the reactions of everyone flipping out.

I just called the Gamestop in Rosemont, IL (Chicago area) and they are in fact selling them to the ones who pre-ordered and said they should have more stock next week for public sale.

Google. Get. Your. SH!T. Together!!
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
Verge has updated their article posted yesterday, and confirmed that nation wide, GameStop is now selling their pre order units.

So for those who are being denied, the store manager is just lazy and hasn't actually checked their email yet.

Just called adorama and they said they would get a shipment in on Monday. If my order hasn't been shipped by Monday imma run to adorama and pick up a N7
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
You are assuming UPS stopped all of its operations to just ship for Google. They have a fulfill the millions and millions of Amazon orders today too right? Added the shipping orders from Google + all the other retailers for just the Nexus 7, I don't see why a sudden surge in packages couldn't clog the tubes. Thats like saying Blizzard has amazing server capacities since they host WOW, still the amount of people who signed on the first day for Diablo 3 still crashed their server.

I hope you were being sarcastic (like I was in my similar reply). In any cases, it doesn't mean much, since Gamestop people "pre-ordered" too.
[Nexus 7 General] danta.moore:
hey not sure if this helps any one. but i ordered a nexus 7 june 27th, and a galaxy nexus july 7th. now ups just dropped off my galaxy nexus. my card hasnt been charged, and google wallet is still showing that my order was just recieved. so at least i know they are not coming back to bring me my nexus 7,just a little confused as to why i have my galaxy nexus, and $378 still in my checking acct. i didnt even get a shipping email
[Nexus 7 General] Zyxxeil:
Thought i tell you guys, just called gamestop and they said that they are allowed to sell them but my gamestop only has 1 for the one who pre-ordered :(
[Nexus 7 General] cranch:
Got the same response from two of them here in Minneapolis. They have them and are selling them but only to pre-orders. The stores were trading spares around to other stores who were shorted from "waves".
[Nexus 7 General] Saintfyre:
Also in his quote it says.

Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee immediate delivery on release

Google hasn't given an exact release date, Gamestop is just making customers happy as usual
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
Really?? Dude, I am not complaining, but this is not true. The one's released at I/O had white back covers. From yesterday, I've seen at least 2-3 unboxing videos with Black back covers. And I'm not even counting the photos posted in this thread.
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
Can someone remind me if Gamestop gives the $25 credit?

Well there are three game stop with in 5 miles of me. I think I'm going to go for a drive and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 General] Mooem7:
Yeah I called my local GameStop and they are definitely selling to those that preorder at the store. He wasn't sure when they would be selling to those with non-preorders. Oh well,
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I wonder what Google is using for reference numbers on UPS? If we can find that out, and if your tablet has shipped you can track it that way.
[Nexus 7 General] ricktat:
Can anyone confirm how much Gamestop charged for shipping... when you pick-up in store? I saw that google play was charging like 17 bucks:cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
My local GS will be getting some own stock today!!! Now I need to cancel my play order. Has anyone had any luck?
[Nexus 7 General] MindlessLeadership:
I called Google and they said they were unable to ship them yet because someone spilt apple juice all over them.

Just trying to add some bad humour.
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
Ask the people selling it.

Buying from google is by far the safest bet although BestBuy and Gamestop should be fine as well. As for price, you have to go to each site and do a trial run of a checkout to find out what the total for shipping and tax is in your area.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
From what I've gathered the credit is applied when signing into your google account on the device. So you would assume that the re-seller the device was purchased from wouldn't necessarily matter? Although Gamestop does seem like the safest bet, in terms of not having to pay for shipping.
[Nexus 7 General] jfd107:
this is the first device since i got the iphone1 that ive been this excited for :D:D
[Nexus 7 General] :
It is spelled "through" not "threw". Sorry, this is the 3rd time I see you spell the word incorrectly.

MB860, CM7.2.0, Faux 026b1 1Ghz
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
Gamestop. You can put trade ins (old games and devices) towards it and and you don't have to pay all at once. You can pay 50 here...100 there...20 then... so on.

Sent on my Llama on my way to the Googleplex Center so I can get 64 Gig N7 Tab

[Nexus 7 General] findmike:
So I keep checking my bank account and there are holds pending and not pending but today I got a phone call from a guy about long distance and all I could think...

This has something to do with my Nexus 7 order doesn't it?

You have to understand... I never get calls about my long distance provider but just a week and a few days after placing this order - BAMM - there's this call.

So the guy is all asking me if I call Mexico or China and I'm like "No." but then I thought it might be like some sort of code. Like these far off places he was mentioning might have something to do with my shipment.

The guy was all sorts of serious. "Are you SURE no one in your household calls Estonia?" He asked again and finally I said yes... I call Estonia all the time and it was like the whole thing turned around.

He didn't come right out and say that my Nexus 7 was going to be here next week. I think they are all under NDA or something like that.. but he did say that starting NEXT WEEK all of my long distance was going to be at a seriously reduced rate.

I don't know about you all but when Google calls you about your long distance <wink wink> I think the correct answer is Estonia otherwise you might not get your shipment for another week or two.

[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
How you figure tomorrow?
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
Sunday seems like the most unlikely day to ship, unless you mean tomorrow technically, which seems like it could be a reasonable bet.
[Nexus 7 General] MSigler:
Ordered about an hour into the keynote. No new charge for me so far.

[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
Pretty sure he means shipping at the same time in the sense that when they get to your order they ship as opposed to others who suggested that the shipping in waves meant waiting a period of as much as a week between shipments

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

The reason for this is prolly 2headed

1st because if the shipping address is incorrect they dont want the hassle of the item being lost etc

and 2nd its not a real cancel its a cancel with replacement now i know its returnable once you get it withing 15 days and that you can refuse shipoment google as well as most companies know odds are once the package arrives you will more then likely keep it

2nd is prolly cause

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Depends on the shipping method used and such. It depends on if the company shipping (in this case Google) would have to specify that packages must be signed for but usually they just leave em if you dont sign
[Nexus 7 General] Huey85:
Looks like next week is going to be pretty exciting. Gonna be looking forward to getting home from work each day just to check the letterbox to see if the apartment building manager has left a nice little gift waiting for pickup..
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
got a question for everyone in here

we all believe (myself included) that ordering from the PlayStore was the best way to ensure the quickest delivery possible BUT in reality arent these ASUS products. What I'm getting as is doesnt that mean ASUS has to ship to Google so they can in turn ship them to us. The reason I bring this up is does that mean that PlayStore will get their shipments first as opposed to the other retailers currently taking pre-orders?
[Nexus 7 General] djbubis:
UPS reached their capacity? So how are they going to deliver everything else not related to the Nexus 7? And how is it that they were able to ship them out to the retailers days ago and we haven't heard sh!t from them?...

Guess I have to wait fir Google play -_-
[Nexus 7 General] UnknownFearNG:
Just got off the phone with Google. They said the tracking numbers should be emailed out within a few business days,
[Nexus 7 General] BleedCrimson:
I did today...

Ordered 27 June and pissed that others are getting it first. I canceled about an hour ago.
[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Yes it was very sarcastic, hence why I quoted Wiki while *****ing about it. All in good fun.
[Nexus 7 General] youareme7:
I called my local Gamestop and heard a similar story, they have enough for pre-orders and probably not any more. The 2nd wave of pre-ordering ended yesterday for delivery later in the month and the 3rd wave (now) delivers august or september. That is an insane wait. Guess I'm back to biting my nails waiting for my Google Play order. Still is a bummer that we've heard NOTHING from them.
[Nexus 7 General] ohaaron:
This would seem to suggest that those putting a block on their account for Google might end up with a free Nexus 7, lol!
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Yeah *cough* bull**** *cough*

CS reps are probably lying now.
[Nexus 7 General] codygordon:
Yup, I just went to my gamestop and picked mine up! They had to give me a discount of like $9,750 though, because their system hasn't updated yet. I'll post some pics if someone can tell me a quick place to host them.
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
I heard it was everyone who ordered before july 1 ships "soon" or is in process at the facility

but everyone else heard that too

maybe capacity is the UPS facility near Google or near the shipping docks (from overseas)
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
um...I was just quoting what the other guy said...those were his words...

And UPS does worldwide shipping, you can't assume they are only doing US shipments, what about people in the UK and where ever they are selling this.
[Nexus 7 General] Zyxxeil:
Yes , Called my second gamestop and they said they had 3 in stock and only one was in hold and the rest were available for sale. :)
[Nexus 7 General] illmaticone:
yeah probably cuz they will actually ship it in a few days. im just gonna attempt to pick it up locally and cancel gplay. its cheaper too
[Nexus 7 General] UpTheDownstair:
Ordered a Galaxy Nexus just before the injunction and the reference number on that seemed like a random alphanumeric number. It could have been generated randomly for each order, or maybe it's some function of the order number and other details but I couldn't figure it out.
[Nexus 7 General] djbubis:
Not to mention our "Order Status" has not changed, this is ridiculous. You order from the manufacture and your the last one to get it yet people tell us not to get frustrated. I don't care when it says its going to ship (1-2 weeks), all the retailers will have it in stock before we even get a shipping number.
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
All good. Next, I hope you'll change your name from cubfan to redfan. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
LMAOOO i want to see that receipt
[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
I can't make myself read this whole thread...probably already discussed...but the fact that the retailers are saying screw it and getting rid of their stock outside of Google approval has me wondering...

Obviously some shady stuff is happening with the magnet inside not being on the documentation. And also obviously the cats out of the bag earlier than Google wanted...they were being coy with the suprise stuff the whole time.

With Apple blocking Android devices at every opportunity, I have to admit I wonder if Gamestop just wants to liquidate their stock while they can still make a profit on it...and if Google is trying to manage the threat of a lawsuit from Apple. Which they would certainly file, no matter that their patent is only for the matter of fixing the magnet to the case.

All of which could absolutely result in a much delayed receipt of tracking numbers at minimum.

Just my crazy conspiracy theory

[Nexus 7 General] nuchdog:
Called all of my local staples. They said that they will be putting them on the floor on sunday. I asked if that specific store would have stock on sunday and the manager said they weren't supposed to say, but just call back on sunday or come in and I would be helped. I called three more stores and they all said the same thing. I guess Google has a few more days to ship me mine.
[Nexus 7 General] grim82:
I seem to remember my Galaxy Nexus tracking didn't show up in my e-mail till like the day it arrived (or maybe the day before). I think there's a delay in the tracking information getting imported into the Google system from UPS.

Either way they better be shipping them today. This is BS, I think we'll all be demanding a refund on our shipping.

[Nexus 7 General] MindlessLeadership:
The fact is that orders are not being shipped anywhere in the world, so I doubt this is anything todo with Apple.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
This says nothing about your account being preloaded on the device. It just says your name and user name will be sent to the device at power on, probably based on device ID. No need for Google to open the device and do anything to it.
[Nexus 7 General] ohaaron:
Those were not my words. I said that UPS handles millions of packages per day, not Amazon. I DID say that UPS was Amazon's primary shipment partner (I actually said they were their only shipment partner, but I was corrected).
[Nexus 7 General] cmcfalls:
Just to throw fuel on the fire, called three different GS locations just now and was told 1) pre-orders would be available for pick-up on August 3rd, that's the street date they've been given 2) second store said they weren't sure, they were still on hold from Google, 3) third store said their pre-orders are available for pick-up all I had to do was come by, but the only ones they had were the ones that were pre-ordered, not for sale to the public yet.

So, moral of the story is that different gamestops have different information. If I had known I could order from them, I would have. But, like so many others, I ordered from Play store on announcement date thinking I could only pre-order from there.

At a MINIMUM I want my $14 premium for shipping back.
[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
haha, wow I could not agree more. I'm justifying it as toy, and nothing more. Either way, I just got a confirmation from the wife - two sparkling new N7's are in the car on the way home from Sam's club for $245 each, plus there was some sort of store-wide coupon she used for an additional undisclosed amount off, that I'm assuming I'll find out later about (haha, undoubtedly means she bought something else while there).

I heartedly recommend that if anyone thinks Google should be sent a message about treating your customers properly to refuse your gplay order and buy locally - at least right now, there does not seem to be a stock crunch.
[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Fighting words! :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
I will admit google botched this release by not having everyone receive theirs the same day, but I'm not going to be mad about it and boycott their products in protest. that's just absurd.

I've lived 28 years without a tablet, I can go another week or 5 without one. people in here are acting like their life depends on them receiving this tablet before any other B&M retailer because they pre-ordered.

give me a break...
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
DONT do that, just because you cant have it doesn't mean you should tell on people that are getting it. I am waiting and wishing I had instead preordered from Gamestop, but don't piss on their parade.
[Nexus 7 General] kl323:
Gamestop will only sell you the NExus if you preordered before the 11th.
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
I said it before and I'll say it again, a few tablets is all they're giving UPS. I believe Diablo 3 was the FASTEST selling game PC game of all time. So you're saying there is a practically infinite supply of nexus 7s that UPS just can't keep up with? Regardless, apples and oranges my friend.
[Nexus 7 General] davehasninjas:
Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I just talked to a buddy of mine at UPS. He ordered one as well, and from what he knows, they're not at the distro centers, at least for our area (Maryland). This makes me a sad panda.
[Nexus 7 General] djbubis:
Maybe Google will remotely kill N7's that were sent out before the official release date.
[Nexus 7 General] billbradford:
Definitely not the pre-order auth; that hit and dropped off days and days ago.

Overnight on my bank account; this is for a N7 and case. Order placed on the 27th.

[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
UPS aren't the delivery company in the UK its TNT. Asus probably shipped the UK tablets to a centre in the UK or at least somewhere in the EU for dispatch.
[Nexus 7 General] codygordon:
I agree you should probably get the shipping refunded, however, i'm not sure how you can say you didn't know anyone else was allowing pre orders... It was all over the internet as far as tech sites go... And I saw the Email that my gamestop was sent, it said they got the O.K. from Google...
[Nexus 7 General] UnknownFearNG:
Hoping it ships tomorrow as well. I'm not mad that GS are selling their preorders first, it's just disappointing that Google didn't give an exact release date. Only a "few days" isn't really good enough right now.

[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Just to be clear, I've said none of the above. And I'm happy for the people that already have 'em!

As I mentioned before, I still think Google will do something for the pre-orderers. In fact, I guarantee it or my username is not blahblahyoutoo! :D
[Nexus 7 General] lemm813:
Um, no....

Upon announcement of the device (which is when most people in here ordered), no other retailer was said to be selling the device.
