That could be it. I haven't been able to access their website for a few days, however according to the bank the new charge went through on Monday when the site was still fully working.

I called them up today to ask about the problems with their site, apparently it should be fixed by about 1pm today.

Hey!!! you try that sh7t with me soldier, i'll use my weaphones app on my upcoming tablet and you'll end up with an 7" beam...:silly:

Hey, now that i think about it. IT IS FRIDAY 13th TOMORROW!!!

Connections anyone?
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
I completely get where you are coming from but at the same time, they didnt do anything to stop people from assuming that and they did allow a general sense to develop among people that they were in fact guranteed to get it first by ordering from the Play store because at first that was the only place to order it, hence, first to receive it. Now splitting hairs over hours between one store and another is different, i get it but this is just the kind of thing that makes it more logical to just establish a date and instead of having all this mixed energy just have it all as positive buzz and anticipation because no ones left to wander any detail because you know for a fact its going to be available at X oclock on X date. Walmart sold ipad 3's for instance at midnight and maybe some people were a little jealous of others if they pre-ordered from apple but most people said hey no sweat because i know for a fact mine will show up at my door a couple hours after i wake up on the same day. Its the anticipation and what ifs that are killing people, thats my only point, and making a point to eliminate any unknowns in both the customers and the retail channels is a big plus for everyone including googles own customer service who wouldnt have to deal with the volume of inquiries they are getting now.

[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
First part sounds like "Google is responsible for the hype they generated". OK, maybe, to a certain extent.

But at the end you said this which I think is key:

Yeah, I'd like to think that those of us who were eagerly anticipating the Nexus 7, and ordered on the first day, or first few days, SHOULD have shipping priority over anyone else.

WE stepped up to the plate and committed ourselves. We are Google supporters. Google should treat us at least a tiny bit better than those who ordered later or walk into a store. First come, first served. It is fair and it is right.

I find it ridiculous that Nexus 7's are sitting in stores and they aren't yet in the hands of the most enthusiastic of us. IMO Google is kinda messing this up. Perhaps they are trying to create an Apple like event and are having problems co-ordinating a simultaneous worldwide launch.
[Nexus 7 General] utstudent:
if there is anything I gain from this whole experience is NEVER order from Google
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
stop crying like babies about the preorder. no one said that preorder brings it ahead of the shops. that's silly. Preorder means that you will get it at your door the first day it is available, so you wont have to queue at a shop, been told that the shop is out of stock, have to travel for 10 hours if you live outside a major town, have to wait for the weekend because you are working 10 hour days.

Pre-order brings your nexus at you hands on the day of the release. Why should we get it 2-5 days early? so we can make our friends jealous? so we could re-sell it in ebay for double the price? This is silly. We will get it the same day...

Eric schmidth spoke at my college grad couple months ago. Told us to buy google products.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
I agree. I ordered mine a few days after it initially became available. I will be a bit upset if people who order it the day before the big box stores have them available get theirs, but that really doesn't make me and more of a Google supporter than them. Some people have different pay schedules, maybe it is a kid who loves Android and has been saving up for the Nexus 7, and finally got his money together. There are different reasons as to why people weren't ordering it immediately. I waited a few days simply because I follow a relatively strict budget and refused to order it before payday. I completely agree with priority shipment for the tablets, you should get yours before me, you ordered yours before I ordered mine. However, neither of us are more of a Google supporter than anyone else who buys the tablet. (Unless you secretly are a shareholder who owns uber amounts of Google stock).

In the past 24 hours this thread increased by 150 pages, and yet Nexus 7 wasn't shipped
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
I'm finding it far better. Now every post isn't some stupid one-word game and other immature crap.

I swear this forum had a reputation for being a great place for serious discussion and information. Now it seems it's become a playground of people playing daft games, talking about vaginas and posts consisting of "LOL" and nothing else.

The mods really need to tighten up this place. it comes to something when a thread already created for news and shipping updates becomes a joke of a thread and someone else has to create ANOTHER one for the same intended purpose.

I come into this thread hoping to find people with updates on when shipping might happen, what people have told them from various sources etc. Instead I'm sifting through pages of crap just to find the odd source of info.
[Nexus 7 General] Atmazzz:

Ordered this thing literally seconds after it appeared on the play store during IO. I wonder if I will see it any time soon?
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
I should point out that I wasn't referring to Americans by my post, by the way. Just that the majority of people here are from the US so posting is bound to slow down more. There's some immature Europeans etc too ;)
[Nexus 7 General] KrisTheRock:
I pre-ordered on July 6th but not by choice. I've been trying since day 1 but google wouldn't let me. I live in Canada and I was trying to have it shipped to New Hampshire since I'll be on vacation there from July 15th to 21st and I'm saving $40 on taxes and shipping. Thanks to another user's post in this thread earlier, I was able to acces the US Playstore with the Hotspot Shield trick. I also had to add a secondary shipping address directly to my credit card account. A couple days after the order, they cancelled it stating that they couldn't verify my address and my wallet account was frozen. Then I had to submit all sorts of proofs and it took a couple days for them to unfreeze my account. The worst thing is that I had to complete a new order instead of them reactivating the one they canceled. Because of that I'm afraid I won't get it on time (before July 21st) since I'm obviously not in wave 1 anymore. Any hopes?

[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
there is something weird about this pic. The date is a A4 paper. It can be easily changed to Tuesday etc.. More like staff didn't want to have everyone dropping in during the weekend just to ask if the nexus is available. HMV knows more than the other shops? doubt it..

[Nexus 7 General] Jean_Baptiste:
This does seem more plausible than other info we've heard, they're going to look pretty foolish if the N7s aren't actually available on the Monday...

"HMV's technology sales staff told TechRadar they put up the sign after they received customer inquiries about the sale of the tablet yesterday."
[Nexus 7 General] cheezcake:
I pre-ordered mine a bit late, on July 7th, hoping this delay means I'll still get it in the first wave .
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Cancellations

My best guess at cancellations is those that are already shipping can't be canceled... and I ordered on the 30th and can't cancel.

Now, you say you cancelled on Tues and got your E-Mail Wed and the other guy Cancelled on Wed and got their conf today. This is easily explained by July 4th being a national holiday in the U.S. I am sure Google lets their employees go... at least most of them. As do most places... like Amazon.... we did not work July 4th.

So the 5th was probably the cut off because first day back since holiday means people are shipping like crazy and it is unable to be cancelled then unless you refuse delivery.

Just my guess about that.
[Nexus 7 General] torontobc:
I tried that but it was no help. Apparently, address on order was entered or taken from wrong address on file and won't change now. I wonder if there is ANY WAY one can reach Google USA or Canada at all over the phone?
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:

Thats the US Number for Google's Nexus Customer service.
[Nexus 7 General] upstandingcitizen:
So you're saying that the orders are shipping now?

I'd find that hard to believe, as the 6th or 7th isn't exactly mid July.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
And if you live outside the US or Canada you can use gmail to make the call for free. That's how I called AT&T from Australia without paying to ask for an unlock code for an Atrix 4G that I won online :P
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
Well that one is, but there are a bunch of other Nexus cases on there that arent showing up till later in July and some the beginning of August, so who knows for sure :)
[Nexus 7 General] AtropineNa:
No hole for the camera or speakers?
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
When I called them on Tuesday, they told me that they are close on Wednesday, so I will get the cancellation letter on Thursday. They asked me to contact them if it was not cancelled by end of Thursday through email. Anyways, I got the email on Wednesday evening, and I was surprised.
[Nexus 7 General] TauxiC:
I thought I would share my experience in this thread with ordering and cancelling and then reordering the Nexus 7:

I pre-ordered my 16GB Nexus 7 on June 28th at like 1AM. 3 hours later, I also ordered the cover for it, which would cost $10 to ship by itself.

So later that day, I decided to call the 1-855-83Nexus phone number, spoke to a rep named Justin and asked if he would simply be able to alter my order and combine the shipping. He said that a certain cancellation window had passed and he couldn't do it himself, so he would forward it to a "specialist" who would cancel my order so that I could reorder the N7 and cover together to save $10 on shipping for the cover.

I decided to go ahead and re-order it before getting any cancellation notice, and immediately after the phone call, he also sent me a very kind email saying it was a pleasure talking to me and that he had forwarded my case to the specialist. It wasn't until the next day (June 29th) that my order showed up as being cancelled in the Play Store, and I received an email confirming the cancellation, so all is well for me.

Also, when I had ordered the cover at 4am, I had started my order and was on the confirm payment page, and then I opened a new tab and went back to the sale pages for the cover and the N7, and both of them were temporarily unable to be ordered, and you could only enter your email address to be informed of when they would get more in.

So when I was on the phone with Justin, I mentioned this and told him I was wanting to make sure not to cancel my order before being certain they had been sold out or anything. He informed me of exactly what I thought had happened, that they were updating the site during that time to apparently fix people's orders etc, and so that's why it appeared to be sold out. He assured me that Google and Asus have plenty of N7's to go around for everyone. =]
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I think I might have already posted it here, but I had the exact same thing happen to me. Bought the N7 then wanted the case and realized it was $10 more in shipping. They cancelled my original orders and assured me that it wouldn't affect my "place in line" (my words). My initial order was June 27th, the second order was June 29th.
[Nexus 7 General] Kitten Mittens:
Any good news from people who ordered on July 2nd? I'm hoping I don't have to wait too long if I'm not in the first batch.
[Nexus 7 General] elias0441:
I think this article can put some of to rest,

http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-7-shipping-next-week-according-to-staples-20120706/
[Nexus 7 General] Dirtbound:
Unless the shipment from Google to Staples is going out at the same time as the shipments from Google Play to customers... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] TauxiC:
Yeah, the reason I didn't buy the cover with my original order was because I was going to wait to see what covers would pop up on Amazon that might have more features like rotation and the little grids for placing the tablet at different angles. And then I thought about that for a second, and was like "Wait...this is designed to stomp the Kindle Fire, how terrible of me to get a case from Amazon when I am already spoiled by their prime shipping for being a college student!"

So it felt good to give that $20 to Google instead, especially considering the virtually nonexistent profit margin they are getting from the N7, + all the BS they are getting from Apple.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
i initially ordered a 8gb model but 20 mins later decided i might as well play it safe (even though i know i'll not max out 16gb) so i called up google and the guy told me that as long as it was less than an hour ago he could just void the transaction and it would allow me to reorder (only showing 1 charge online).

google support was stupidly helpful. the guy i talked to even joked about how he changed his mind and picked up a 16gb for himself.
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Since when do manufacturers actually ping the right day anyways as of late.

I am saying that they probably have shipped to the local hub or are n their way. Which even sent out today would not be here until the earliest being 7/9. More than likely, Google will have everything out in the first batch come next Friday or so... but probably sooner.

Google pulls out surprises all the time.... why not have this be one to. Instead of it arriving the 18th... why not the 13th?

I take nothing at face value, and Google normally gets everything out on time or before.... never really late ;-).
[Nexus 7 General] grukko:
If we get it later than Staples there's going to be a riot and I'll be leading it.
[Nexus 7 General] plambda:
agreed

lol
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
I would of canceled and gone for staples with free shipping. But... Google is having a hard time with Apple, and I will not really being buying all that much from the play-store. So i figured I should give em what I can.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
My original authorization charge was dropped after 2-3 days but I didn't get any other secondary authorization charge like some of the folks mentioned here. I think this depends upon the Bank and situation might be different from bank to bank.

I guess there should not be any other temp authorization charge as now Google would charge permanently once they ship out my Nexus 7.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
because they wont be buying anything, if they are fixed for the nexus 7, like we are!!! They would want info, not buying other things. They already "bought" a 200+ device, they will spend the rest in the play store, so most likely they will be the least likely customers to shop.

Like us, only for lol and not for info..
[Nexus 7 General] Makaijin:
Not exactly, they could entice customers to buy cases. But I doubt they'd have any N7 cases in stock for release anyway, so in that context you may be right.
[Nexus 7 General] jskahan846:
Just root it and install the OTA update zip that is available in the forum, that's how I spent yesterday :D
