I really can not understand where some of the hostility towards Google is coming from. I know most of us are having a bit of fun with it. But to say it's lousy customer service or criticizing the launch seems a bit premature. Google never promised a firm date when we will receive our tablet. I imagine it was intentionally kept vague in anticipation of having problems, which we can assume they are. Whatever those problems are, they seem to be doing what they can to ensure that those of us that preordered through the Play Store aren't left out when B&M stores start selling them. Now, I can agree with most of you that not allowing cancellations at this point is wrong and not the best customer service. But lets remember that shipping a physical product is not Google's strength, I am sure it will improve over time but they are not there yet.

And for those that are really bent, is this your first high profile launch? In the last six months I have survived the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S 3 launch, both of which were delayed beyond a firm launch date.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
You won't, so let's not go down this rabbit hole.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
About the only thing you can really flack Google for is the lack of information.

An original corporate statement to the effect "We plan to ship the pre-orders 12 July, and the store sales shortly thereafter" would have been great.

So things don't work out, as they often do. A follow-up statement like "We have encountered unexpected difficulties, and now expect the pre-orders to go out 19 July, and the store sales shortly thereafter" would have kept everyone calm and reasonably content. Not happy maybe, but not ballistic either.

What do we get instead - "The Great Pit of Silence", designed to cause maximum discord. Hope this shows up on someone's annual review.

Shipping being held up because

one guy called in sick

he wanted to stay home for the shipment to his door
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
Actually, the $14 you pay is so that you're more or less guaranteed that regardless of retail store stocks, you can be assured you'll get yours on or before launch day. Noone ever guaranteed you the thing BEFORE retail stores. And that's exactly how it works for all other products, video games, computers, etc. It always has and always will.

However, you make a great point about #2. If Google isn't allowing cancellations, then they need to ship them NOW. At this point, they're using very bad business practices. Some of us would like to cancel and grab them locally, but we're being told we can't because they're "shipping", and yet....guess what -- they're NOT shipping. This is the #1 reason why Google needs to be transparent and give us a solid date. Because as it stands, they're currently LYING to customers.

I show "COMING SOON" for the case as well... What country's Play Store are you viewing elias?
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
I read somewhere that if you login to wallet or maybe the play store, and go back it will change from coming soon to available.

The real bummer is that I just did the math and realized that the cover adds 39% more weight to the tablet! :-(

It says you can't use it towards: Computers, Tablets, Cameras, eReaders and pretty much everything else you would want to buy that is over $150.

Well folks, just checked my Debit Statement.... and since I don't care who sees.... I am going to post it on here.

If you notice I am consistently negative around 280 some dollars all of a sudden... and I am at a balance of $1.something since about 30 minutes ago.

I called, and they said Google had pulled and it is about to go live again but with a different merchant name (one referencing Google *appreview something or other)

On top of this, they are saying the money has been pulled and it has moved from pending to posted.

So here ya go..... https://docs.google.com/open?id=19BNQRpPntUrwuQ99MLhkN9WPJxK16ch-7pgF68u_Xi_ARG0ev2sSmOkISBgLNfaQVhH1-brMdaILxsRp

You belong o Amazon Prime, yet buy a Nexus.. Will you be able to stream free movies from Amazon to the Nexus?

Those debit card scum really charge you a buck every time you check your balance?
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Actually, I work for Amazon :victory:

I hate the Kindle Fire.... and pretty much anything that is so skinned that I throw the thing across the room due to lag (see Motorola and Verizon)

Actually though, they do not charge me anything but a service thing every month if I do not load $1000 a month (which I load between 1600 and 4000 a month) so I don't get that. They charge to reload though, $3 but if you have direct deposit you get charged nothing. Walmart and GreenDot must have sacrificed something to Satan to work that out right.

Overall, great service, response from Customer Service is about an hour or two through E-Mail and in three years my longest time on the phone service waiting was about 3 minutes.

:-D

Amazon Prime question

I am not sure how that will work out, I use Prime for shipping mainly. I guess time will tell when it actually gets to my door.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
You are the closest thing to an Amazon rep I have encountered, so just let me say Amazon gets about 80 percent of all my purchases now. I try to buy local, but the things I want don't make it to mid-Oregon... Amazon must be doing something right, even if they did mess up the Fire. Well - so did B&N with the Nook...
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Hahaha, fun times. Yeah.... they have all been kind of messy :-D.
[Nexus 7 General] adamskub:
Hey sorry to be a tad off-topic but I noticed in one of the screenshots you had a tab open for GT Guard or what I think is it. I was looking at signing up for it but have been waiting. Have you signed up? Just curious is all :laugh::p
[Nexus 7 General] Dradien:
The WalMart Money Card does that whole Negative thing for a while right after you put some nice big deposits in there, as you did that the three, and the one over $1000.

I've been using the same MoneyCard for4-5 years now. Direct Deposited so it's over $1k a month so no service fee there. Awesome awesome all around, great way to manage your money. Well...for me anyway.

I also noticed my Google hold is gone also, so I'm hoping that means they're gearing up to ship.
[Nexus 7 General] heat361:
So I emailed Google and was told that they are still expected to be delivered mid July with no exact release date. I was told all this by Randal from the Google play team ( I wonder if this was the guy doing the demonstrations of jelly bean at the io conference, the one who they barely let talk :) )
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Oh.... hun.... if you sign up tell em Giovanni Sent ya :-D.

[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
We have every right to be angry. Google isn't allowing cancellations because the devices are shipping, but they're clearly lying to customers, because they haven't shipped them. If they had, they'd surely have our money by now. Your bank account is proof in the pudding.

I like all of you am trying to patiently wait this thing out but this is really starting to drive me a little nuts. I'm hoping that maybe google is just doing this to mess with everyone. Maybe google will surprise us without sending us the tracking information or shipment notices, then we will all go home from work within the next couple of days and our tablets will just be waiting there for us? I know this is seriously unlikely to happen, but theres nothing wrong with hoping for the impossible is there?
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I actually had it pretty easy on that one.

Read about it at night, went to a Wal-mart near my house the next morning and picked up two. :)

Yeah but that one was just plain fun. A systematic Distributed Denial of Service across tons of sites, 1 by 1. I remember squeaking mine in TigerDirect, and I never got webpage confirmation, as it had died before it could respond. However, the email came through and I was overjoyed.

It looks like "maybe" Google decided to honor the pre-order obligation they have to those that ordered from them. All Play Store pre-orders should be delivered BEFORE any other get theirs. To do otherwise would be a dissuasive to their loyal customers.

Maybe you'll gain super powers as well?

So, I heard we're getting a free movie with our tablets? I wonder if we can download that now, so I have something to help pass the time. Maybe read a book or a magazine. Seems to me they should make a device to facilitate that for me. And then send it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] ellesshoo:
So Google owes you an explanation for things that haven't even occurred yet? You need a statement from them on July 11th about why you're still waiting for a product you ordered that they said would ship sometime in mid July?

If Andy Rubin himself was posting info twice a day in this thread I'm 100% certain that still would not be often/fast enough for some.
[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Don't bring religion into this, the whole internets will break.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
That assumes the shipping is a one stage process. I wouldn't assume that. Google probably took delivery at some central warehouse. They then ship that out to various warehouses closer to customers and to the other countries getting this and therefore this part of the shipping process is probably what has taken place. The bit you are waiting for is the product to leave your local distribution centre to you. So they would be right in saying that shipping has already started.

Canceling or changing your order

We do everything we can on our end to make sure that your order ships as quickly as possible. In some cases, you may be able to cancel your order up to one hour after it has been placed by contacting our support team; please call our support team at 1-855-83-NEXUS.

If your order is packed and already in transit, your credit card will have been charged for the order. When the package arrives, please contact our support team to arrange for a return.

----

So, they have charged your card, it is just pending - so you can't cancel now.

That's just how it is.
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
Google.

I know who you are.

I can find you easily.

And if you ship tomorrow I will not drive to your home.

But if you don't ship tomorrow.

I will look for you.

I WILL find you.

And I will.............Cry in the street.

[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
Actually, bud, they haven't charged my card. The pre-auth pend disappeared yesterday, and as of now, there are NO charges on my card either pending or gone through. Might wanna do some research on that first. There's no way in hell that tablet is en route from the local distro center to me WITHOUT Google having my money. At very best, it's at the distro center.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Omg, people are taking this real personal now. I saw this guy on the news, he freaked out and went inside of a mobile phone store and started ripping stuff off the walls. Funny, but at the same time concerning. Just like the quoted picture.

OK, so you wanted a statement on June 27 about a mid July ship date? Unless you went to a different Play Store website I'm pretty certain you made the same decision as everyone else; 2-3 week estimated shipment... and that hasn't passed.... go demand a statement from Google about why your tablet hasn't shipped earlier than what it said right next to that order button you clicked.

I would hope not lol, infusing liquid excitement in this thread only to take it away.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Not really, anyone who ordered on the 27th shouldn't be complaining about shipping until after the 2-3weeks shipping deadline.

Ie. After 20th July if you include 2day shipping.

We are only on 11th July and some people are going crazy that they haven't received it yet, or that it hadn't shipped yet.

Of course we all want it NOW, and it could very well get shipped any day now if you ordered on the 27th - but its not a guarantee and Google never stated as such.

As for cancellations, it states within an hour of the order - as if they request payment (this includes pre- authorisation payments) - then it can't be cancelled.

So, why are some people moaning exactly? - I don't get it.
