Being shipped Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] IncredibleMango:
When you placed the Pre-order was there any specific release date? No. You ordered it because you wanted to get it as soon as Google could ship it to you, and they are.
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
WT FUKSTING!!!!!

Gamestop just called literaaly 2 minutes after I posted!!! Picking up this afternoon!!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Multisaft7:
i cant find when the shipping date is for the uk?! Can anyone help me?!
[Nexus 7 General] Anticrawl:
You must have been on some good California hospitality because I have yet to see a tracking order and I pre-ordered within seconds of it becoming available.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
I'm waiting for someone to post that theirs shipped!!!! So fricken excited its all im thinking about. Come on Google!!!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Psipherious:
We're all sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see if these start getting shipped (and our order pages updated) sometime on Monday.

First person to post a tracking number wins a rectangular frisbee.
[Nexus 7 General] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
It is supposed to be the same time as the US. The GooglePlay call centre lady told me the other day that we

may

receive them by the 13th July. But not to take that as gospel. She said that the Nexus 7's where already at the local distribution centres in the respective countries.

Edit: I'll be really shocked if we do get them at the same time as them though

Lolz, It was last night right? So it makes sense :cyclops: because you were obviously dreaming. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

lolz, me too :D
[Nexus 7 General] Anticrawl:
If the shipping information is updated before 07:00 I'll be sure to let you know, after that though I have to head out and won't be able to check the order page until around 09:50 CDT. :cool:
[Nexus 7 General] Kamran9558:
Hey which number did you call for google play store. I tried the number provided on order page but that doesnt work
[Nexus 7 General] alex-code:
Anyone know which courier they will use in UK?
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Curious if there is multiple distribution centers in each county?
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
I dont know to me locally distribution center means where it gets on trucks and goes from. That would be great cause then you would get it the same day. Oh what a treat that would be, hey it shipped...and it will be here today:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] Anticrawl:
I do believe local distribution center means the UPS distribution center. There are shipping hubs through the US, they may mean state, local or regional shipping hubs. I'd imagine regional, which would be about 4-5 places. The ones near my region would be in Memphis, TN and Austin, TX. Though if State rather than Regional it would be much much closer in Port Allen.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Curious if mine will ship from Mountain View,CA? That would be awesome as I would get it in one day :cool:
[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
I hope I get mine soon too. I'm in berkeley:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Man I don't want to sleep yet lol...I'm on leave so I'm with family I want to see my dam tracking number lol.

Its only 3am here so its still promising
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
So wait. Where are you guys getting this info that's its going to be shipped? I haven't read anything or heard anything about it being shipped so early. Plz tell
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Umm read threw the thread lol.it does wonders
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Um i have and all you guys keep saying is i hope it ships. Lotta info there.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Well keep reading....use Google ...call a rep ...email them...this is where we got our info....if u have read then u would have known this....its not 100% but it all leads up to this time frame..just read .the pages back man
[Nexus 7 General] Mrcojocaru:
Had I known sams club would carry it I wouldn't have preordered. you really can't beat a 90 day return policy...looks like I'm refusing the order from Google
[Nexus 7 General] Thebeast715:
WTF

I want my tablet as much as the next nerd or I wouldn't be in this thread...

Having said that I feel all of the people getting angry about this obviously don't have real problems in their life.

They web page said 2-3 weeks. That's it.. It didn't say we would get them first (although there is an implication in pre-ordering, there is squat that would hold up in court as a breech of contract.) It just said 2-3 weeks. If I get my tablet next week (CC charged today) that would be within the time that was quoted and I will be happy with my purchase unless the device has some sort of defect (which I hope it won't).

Coming in to this forum and raging about this alleged poor service does nothing to get your tablet faster and generally makes you look like an A$$hole

Charged for my July 1st Pre-Order. Now waiting for the shipping confirmation email!:good:
[Nexus 7 General] maw230:
Lmao, you guys are ridiculous.
[Nexus 7 General] JoeM01:
Ordered on the 27th. Credit card is now showing a pending charge. Wasn't there this AM.

*edit 16gb unit, if that makes any difference.

Yay.

P.S. This thread is over the top.
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
Picking up this afternoon! lol
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Did anybody confirm that today Friday would count as one of the 3 shipping days?

There all in Temple Bar in Dublin paying 5 Euro a pint reading out messages from this thread and laughing their balls (or tits) off. They are going to be steaming by Monday so expect yours to end up in Scotland sometime the following week :D

You just joined so you can come here and tell us what to say and what not to say! Troll!
[Nexus 7 General] EVO DL:
Yes, but UPS delivers on Sat only if the service that Google paid for is a weekend delivery. Which they didn't. (check out UPS services)
[Nexus 7 General] norman1080:
Yes, it does.
[Nexus 7 General] b0bness:
I for one still stand by my play store pre-order
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
It depends on where you live and what time your order starts shipping (so, when your CC was charged). For some today counts, for others it does not.
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
Ordered today let's see what happens Proberly nothin.
[Nexus 7 General] buddhatown:
Finally

Ordered 29th 16gb, finally got my charge. woohoo
[Nexus 7 General] itp:
Ordered on 6/27, still no charge, no update on my Play orders page, no update in wallet.

I ordered 2 of the 16GB and 2 covers. Has anyone that ordered the cover had it ship?
[Nexus 7 General] IncredibleMango:
Not rly, I joined a few weeks ago because I wanted to join the discussion for the nexus 7, as this is my first Android device personally.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
not true, they've done this a week ago.. to the shops.. now people are buying it form the shops.

why didn't they "lock and load" first the preorders?

Let's see how much this will make the "news"
[Nexus 7 General] djbubis:
A pre-order means you will get it first. People that did not pre-order should not have access to something before the person that pre-ordered got it. I know too confusing for you....
[Nexus 7 General] tdoyle:
Has anyone even gotten a tracking number yet? Or will that be done in the near future (I'm assuming they're still being processed at UPS)
[Nexus 7 General] jt.one:
just another update from a june 28th-er

as according to some older posts, [ jesus christ this thread updates way too fast ]

the play store showed my 16GB n7 order move all the way up to the top of my list with a newly listed date of july 13th.

however no email, and no google wallet update
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Wait a second you were making a joke that I would break it I am an idiot because I actually tried it and it didn't break lol all geeks I guess aren't smart ha? I guess the joke was on me sorry.

Seriously, what would you do if Pfizer told everyone the latest batch of Preparation H was causing the sphincter to become detached, but tomorrow's batch should be fine? My guess is you'd switch to Mayinglong Musk.
[Nexus 7 General] EpiphanyMachine:
Charged today for June order

I was charged today, but have not received a confirmation email. My original order was from June.
[Nexus 7 General] icemasta31:
Did they have them available for anyone, or for those who pre-ordered?
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Sorry, but I just have to know. How does a business survive without customers? Even examples like Facebook, whose customers are not readily apparent, still have customers (the people buying the data or giving a cut of in app sales or paying for ads).
[Nexus 7 General] drpfenderson:
Thank you. This is exactly it. It's not a pre-shipping, people. Or a pre-sale. Or anything else like that. It's a reservation. If you want GameStop/Staples/Walmart support, buy from them. Google Play support comes from buying with Google Play.

Non-profit companies. Just one example of this.
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
F, I feel bad for everyone who preordered from Google Play!
[Nexus 7 General] findmike:
Yeah I don't get that, you pay for shipping on a product that gets shipped to you. If you don't want to pay for shipping go to a store and deal with potential availability issues, traffic, long lines, whatever. The just walking into a store and grabbing one myth is just a fantasy - I went to two Sam's Clubs and both had them in stock, neither would sell me one. I get the everyone is super excited to get the device but we paid for shipping to get it shipped. Other than the self invented delusions of a hysterical mass of people that inferred somehow they were "special" because they ordered from one site vs. another I really don't get why anyone thought they would get these sooner or later than anyone else. The only thing the pre-order meant to me was that when they were available I would get one as opposed to having to chase the product down all over town and MAYBE get one. If some places ship a day or two earlier than others and some people talk a store into releasing them sooner than intended that's all dandy, I don't have to deal with any of that, I pre-ordered and mine will get here when it gets here without having to do a darn thing.
[Nexus 7 General] Jasmynsway:
For mine from gamestop. Love it! I will definitely be refusing the package from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
A preorder is actually just a reserve on an item that will be in high demand, to make sure you get it. I agree, people who preordered should get it first, but life isn't fair.
[Nexus 7 General] dmckilla77:
I have never payed extra for UPS to ship on saterdays or payed for any special shipping for them to deliver on a saterday and they always have
[Nexus 7 General] EVO DL:
I sure do. It's Friday afternoon. What are you doing here if you are so busy? Don't you have a successful business to run?
[Nexus 7 General] seoulman:
I ordered the 16GB and a covery on 6/27 and I have been charged for both (I actually got charged for the cover yesterday) so you're probably fine.
[Nexus 7 General] IncredibleMango:
...I see where you're coming from... BUT...

Pre-order implies you are ordering it before it is released, not you will get it first. It does mean that you will get it first from THAT METHOD of purchase. For example. I could walk into an apple store and buy an iPad and have it before people Pre-ordered one, maybe not by much, but still a bit.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
I wonder how many refused shipments google is going to get back? lol
[Nexus 7 General] rodneyg79:
Even if Asus shipped to retailers too early. It seems to me that later in the week is the best time to release a new tech gadget (assuming Google really wanted to have an official 7/16 release date). I'd think they'd want things in stores on Thursday or Friday since that's when lots of people get paid and they could pick up a lot of impulse buyers rather than after the weekend when people have burned that disposable income on games, movies, booze, eating out, clothes, shoes, other tech gadgets, hookers, or whatever. My point though is Google should have aimed for mid week Wednesday especially since freaking 2 day shipping right next to a weekend is crappy given a lot of people would likely get their stuff on Monday without it.
[Nexus 7 General] itp:
Well, that's good to hear. I've been pretty chill throughout this whole fiasco but seeing them process the orders out of order is finally getting to me. Why are people who ordered days after getting their **** processed first?

Oh well.
[Nexus 7 General] Freshgeardude:
Just spoke with a play store rep and he said they are shipping from California.

Take that with a grain of salt if you wish.

[Nexus 7 General] ldwilc32:
Anybody. I hadn't preordered, I just walked in to ask when they were going to be able to sell them. He said that I have 10 here that I can sell.

[Nexus 7 General] dietanson:
Don't think it matters when you placed the pre-order. I placed mine on July 6th and my CC has been charged already.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Hopefully true

Would be better for me :)
[Nexus 7 General] :
I'm guessing not many. A lot of people are all talk when it comes to consumer issues. I remember the whole Amazon controversy a while back about a book being on Kindle that people found offensive. Many dozens of 1-star reviews promised they'd never shop with Amazon again. I bet as soon as their favourite artist or author or actor had some product on there cheaper than a bricks and mortar store, they came running back.
[Nexus 7 General] TahrirSquare:
The Nexus 7 will go on sale without pre-order at staples starting Wednesday or Thursday next week. That's per 2 staples stores in my area. So much for pre-ordering.
[Nexus 7 General] itp:
Yeah, that's pretty frustrating for a June 27th-er like myself.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I also order w/ Case. I wonder if they are in a different grouping of orders, so maybe we are next for the CC charge. Its good to know someone got charged for a case, so hopefully availability of the cases won't hold up the 7 preorders.
[Nexus 7 General] CrittendenWildcat:
So I ordered on 6/27. Google has now billed me, and rumor is that they have shipped....and I haven't received a single iota of information from Google regarding my order from the moment that I placed my order until now.

New motto: Do no evil, and mum's the word.
[Nexus 7 General] jeh_:
Says who? pre-ordering means that you can order something before it's ready to go out. that's all. with all your whining you come across as a little *****, you should be embarrassed by this.
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:

[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
I placed mine the 10th. I'm hoping it gets filled Monday or Tuesday. I guess I can look on the bright side though, I now have no distractions to finishing out my SWTOR story line.
[Nexus 7 General] drpfenderson:
That's not correct at all. It's hilarious because you originally contradicted the Wikipedia article on the subject.

Guess what, bro? That's exactly what happened. It was released and shipped today.
[Nexus 7 General] Thebeast715:
Much less than the amount of people on this thread claiming they will refuse it I'll wager....
[Nexus 7 General] supernoman:
That would be awesome since I'm in CA...too bad no saturday delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
Just read on UPS' site: If a package is picked up Thursday with two day shipping, they with deliver on Saturday. Now it just depends on if Google actually shipping today or just charging today....
[Nexus 7 General] 808Nexus:
Lot's of crybabies in this thread. A pre-order is just an order before the product is ready to ship. That does not imply that you will get it before anyone else, it just confirms an order pending availability. Whoever came up with that petition really comes off as an entitled douche. The pre-order estimated 2-3 week delivery, it hasn't been 3 weeks yet. I have a pre-order with google play that was placed on June 29th. I am waiting like a rational human being for that tablet to be delivered within the estimated time frame. I don't expect any freebies or refunded shipping.

I accept everything they say - then look for confirmation. Post those UPS tracking cities of origin!
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
Alright gentlemen, I'm disappointed that my tablet wasn't here for the weekend, but I've got the next best thing. See ya Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
But the real truth is that our preorders should have been shipped BEFORE the shipment to the stores. The Google preorder was a fraud because it was not handled as a preorder.
[Nexus 7 General] FrayAdjacent:

[Nexus 7 General] gr0wlithee:
Although some people in this thread are getting a little too angry, I can kind of understand why some are upset.

I mean, we pre-ordered from the source of the tablets. (I'm gonna get at least one smart comment of how we DIDN'T pre-order from Asus.) Google Play DID NOT specify a date of release or actual shipping, I know. However, it still isn't fair that the only shipping option that was available was 2-day shipping. Now, if any of you are like me, I first thought that this was the only place that would have the tab available at first release. So I jumped at the opportunity. Anyway, we had to choose 2-day shipping which cost us even more money. It isn't fair that people who didn't even pre-order can just waltz into a store and buy one for cheaper than those most loyal to Google. I understand that Google really didn't do anything wrong, but they could have at least got the pre-orders from Play shipped first before shipping to retailers. I don't care how long it would've taken them to ship it. I'm just a little aslfghj that retailers can sell before Google's pre-orders even got out.

Oh well. :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I order from Amazon, I have Prime so ALL my prime shipments are 2 day. Prime 2 day shipments ordered before 2PM on Thursday are always delivered on Saturday. So 2 day shipments are delivered on Saturday but I'm sure the shipper must have that in their contract with UPS or pay extra for Saturday delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] :
You're aware that this is commonplace, right? When video games and books and films(movies) have a street date(do not sell before this date) retailers have units shipped to them in advance of a coordinated launch and are expected to keep to that. In this case, Google almost certainly gave them a date before which they shouldn't have sold any units(or perhaps 'don't sell until we say otherwise') and they broke it. That's not their fault and they planned on shipping before the retailers started selling them, I imagine.

I think we are being punished for not allowing Google Voice into Canada - I guess its so that Rogers can come out with their "revolutionary" Rogers One Number.

[Nexus 7 General] bisto321:
I don't like google
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
I've peeved that Google didn't coordinate this better than they did and remained silent all this time.

If Google established a CONCRETE release date...lets say 7/13/2012

Google should have shipped Google Play order AND retailer orders to arrive ON 7/13/2012 and released at the same time!!!

I guess Google can copy Apple's launch day protocol :D
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
At the moment, yeahhhh.
[Nexus 7 General] tdoyle:
But did Google ever really say you'd get it before? Either way you have one reserved for you for sure. No need to worry!

I just got viciously Snooted at the Adorama in nyc. I walked in just in time to see the last unit sold. I had called twenty minutes earlier and they told me that they had plenty. Now they are sold out. I have also called 3 nyc game stops and got the pre order only yak. Its a good thing that I'm headed to Philly this evening so I have another metropolitan area to scour. Also, fwiw, I ordered a 16gb on June 28th. I have not been charged yet or received any emails. I don't really need to get one from a store, but i don't have much impulse control.

Ronald McDonald, cats qtips. Samsclub baaaah I just want my toy.

Also, if we wanted to write 28/6/2012, we'd still have a queen and be eating tea and crumpets or whatever. Its a pointless argument, we should all be friends. The brits I know here make good drinking buddies, and oddly enough, we find other things to talk about.

Oh you poor Europeans none of the great CO craft brew we have here. Will be having some Mile Stout Nitro after work and probably some Avery as well.:D
[Nexus 7 General] TahrirSquare:
Don't waste your time, they won't cancel. Tried it earlier today. They told me to refuse shipment from UPS, or if the guy drops it off to take it back to a UPS store within 5 days without opening it.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
I am also patiently waiting (with some snark thrown in) but picture this extreme scenario: they take preorders that are shipping in 2-3 weeks, then flood the retail and other online stores the next day, and preorders can't be easily cancelled. It's not as bad as that here but you can't tell me that wouldn't be crap.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
i called them twice today and they told me both times they didn't have any. i would've stopped by on my way to work @ 2pm if i had known they still had some. i've never been there but i'll remember this next time.
