Hopefully, it's been a week already right? Time passes so slow when you've got stuff in the mail.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
That's why you should order some random $0.99 item on eBay that ships from China. it's like a fun little surprise every couple of days.

On that note, I ordered some NFC cards to play around with on a Galaxy S III, but since I'm not getting that I'll get to play around with them on the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Had to add this...

I just looked up NFC cards and found:

http://www.adafruit.com/products/789

This lets you program NFC cards and read them with the Nexus.

Arduino is one of my favorite platforms anyway...
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
There are apps on the Play Store that will let you program NFC cards/stickers/tokens with your Nexus device (since the Nexus S they have supported NFC).
[Nexus 7 General] MSigler:
Yep. They work great too.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
They charge u to make sure you have the amount for purchase then they send it back to u until it ships out .

Also mine says complete to :p I wish it would start shipping already..

So its still another 2-3 weeks to it starts to ship out?!?!?
[Nexus 7 General] Multisaft7:
1 question, i want to buy a Nexus 7 over borderlinx in the UK for me @Germany, is there any common that borderlinx adresses are blocked from Google!?
[Nexus 7 General] TaintedByte:
Yes. I use it with my Evo 4G LTE the awesome thing about the app is that it can integrate with Tasker to do some pretty complex tasks (I can turn my pc on with a NFC chip through the app which routes the responsibility to Tasker and the WOL app, I posted a guide here if you're interested in that setup).

Anyway rambling aside, the app is this one from the market:

NFC Task Launcher

The dev is awesome and worked with us in the Evo4G LTE to have a Tasker fix within a couple of days of us reporting it. Also if you don't have any NFC tags yet I recommend the following site:

Tags for Droid

Cheap prices and it comes with a cool keychain tag (I put my contact card in it :D)

Any other questions you have about NFC PM me or start a thread about it and I'll jump in. I've been loving it on my phone and would love to help you or anyone else interested.

Also to stay on topic :P

Just placed my order and my money did get taken (obviously a temp hold) and I'm sure you guys established that already, just adding to the pile of confirmations.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
Ordered 2pm today, I hope I'm in the first batch or that they have enough to go around. Chances are I'll be one of the last people to get it since I'm in Australia and track records for sending stuff from USA to AUS haven't been that great for me. I had a Motorola Atrix take 2 months. :(

It says on the order page that it's 2 day shipping - does it apply for Australia too?

Oh and like everyone else, I was charged the full amount from my card almost instantly but it's still PENDING and will probably disappear after a few days. :)
[Nexus 7 General] jmoore2:
I ordered the nexus 7 on the 29th and the full amount has been pending in my bank account since.... However, the charge has now changed.. It is no longer pending. The transaction is now white, when they are pending they show blue. So as far as i am concerned Google have taken the money, maybe it will be getting shipped soon :D
[Nexus 7 General] moogle19:
Nexus 7 to Germany

Hi,

I am from Germany and want to buy a Nexus 7.

A friend of mine is currently in the US, but leaves at July 21.

Do you think if i order the Nexus 7 now, that it'll be shipped 'till July 20?

And does it make a difference in shipping time if I order the 8gig or 16gig model?
[Nexus 7 General] 94SupraTT:
Lol so true...the China eBay comment.

Sent from Samsung Fascinate running ICS.
[Nexus 7 General] b22ri22an:
did anyone order from staples?

this morning my credit card was charged from staples and they said delivery between the 13th and 17th but i went to check on it and it all of a sudden says order cancelled and there call center is closed, is anyone else having this problem?
[Nexus 7 General] audioxbliss:
Ugh, this waiting is killing me. Especially since I have midterms this week.

I believe this was addressed a few pages ago. Something about them cancelling orders to free up the pre-charged amount that they previously had. I'm pretty sure it was also stated that the orders would be re-opened and charged properly once they're ready to ship.
[Nexus 7 General] biglolz:
no one has actually received shipping confirmation right?
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
Not that I am aware of :(
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
I am kind of wishing that I would have started some sort of an online betting page as to when the nexus 7 were to ship. Pay 20 bucks and pick a date. Paid to paypal, and then whoever chose the correct date would get the money. Logistically, that would be impossible to track, but in theory would be kind of fun :) And in the event that more than a few people choose the correct date, the winnings would be split between them.
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
Good idea.....except for the part where it involves betting money xD
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Then apple sues Google and gets an injunction and the Nexus doesn't ever ship. 10 grand in a random PayPal account >_>
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Some body please say the got a tracking number lol ....f**k
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I really do hope they're processing in waves. I wouldn't mind the wait, but knowing that if I hadn't cancelled I would have had it...that just sucks! To an extent. It is just a tablet, after all. =)

BUT I WANT IT ;9)
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Haha except when one person says it, everyone else will be all "WTF WHERE MINE..??!?.....!!" I know I will. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Its waves ..its obvious ..therefore I'm glad I dis not cancel for the other version .
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
What's this trickery !!!!
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
I wish :( I keep monitoring my email, even though I should be concentrating in class
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I refuse to listen to your completely valid and most likely correct logic so that I may retain some hope. I believe that all Nexus preorders were created equal.
[Nexus 7 General] P06o:
I'm another one who's been reading this thread from the beginning, waiting to see a post with a tracking number or some other confirmation. Not that I'm impatient, just being entertained. This is making me really glad to have ordered mine... A really lively (and funny) bunch we have here, and I'm looking forward to being a part of this community. You guys are awesome! :-D
[Nexus 7 General] MC153:
I emailed Google play a few days ago about my charge disappearing and they emailed me back today. They said it was just an initial charge and I would be excited to hear my order is successful. I didn't understand the last part but I'm hoping it means they're shipping soon.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
2nd processing charge just disappeared.

crap.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
The whole charge thing was discussed here 100 times lol.

A lot of us wonderd why we was charged then dropped ...they was just checking :/ I was excited when they first charged me lol
[Nexus 7 General] lanwarrior:
I am confused now.

On the order date (July 2), I see a pre-authorization charge

....2 days later... charge gone

Now.. since Saturday, July 7, the pre-authorization charge shows up and remain that way until now...

In my experiences, usually this charges dropped off in 2 days (Amazon pre-order, Dell pre-order), but why is Google holding my money with no shipping notification?
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
Nothing against you dude but what the hell... you ordered 2 days after me and 10 past others and your receiving yours tomorrow and we haven't heard a peep... that's seriously F'd up...Google is leaving a horrific taste in my mouth with this.. I thought after the VZW Nexus situation Google would have gotten things straight but apparently they havent and are screwing customers in the process.
[Nexus 7 General] truthkillszz:
Showing no updates on my tracking but its scheduled to be here today between 245 and 645 pm
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
either way I will have more accessories to play with today, hopefully a tablet to go with them...LOL
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
but but, I thought everyone on here were UPS experts!?!?! That is what thy have been telling us :)
[Nexus 7 General] ande_uk:
LOL!
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
Simple. When have you ever remembered a pre-order, where the people who pre-order get their tablets a week after the people who can waltz into a store and pick it up? It's principle. I don't care if it's within the 2-3 week estimate, it's the fact that I can go right now to Sam's club and pick one up, but I have to wait for the one I pre-ordered since i can't cancel it.
[Nexus 7 General] fakker:
Exactly, they've done it more, and more often... That's why I'm not too bothered by no e-mail today. Apples and Oranges in terms of experience in this process (no pun)

I will be a tad annoyed if nothing happens by Thursday, or if it doesn't arrive by the end of this week - but hey, it's not the end of the world!
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
Hell, I live here in the louisville area and still no status updates. Ordered on the 27th, 16g.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I have a feeling UPS is updating their databases right now, since about 7 the UPS Mobile app has said the service is down when I try to log in, and to try again later.
[Nexus 7 General] stejc:
Nothing on my Google Wallet either - 27 June 2012 19:32:15 UTC+1
[Nexus 7 General] SunSDK:
Sigh still at shipping label created and I got my google play shipped E-mail 3 days ago...
[Nexus 7 General] Juggernaut79:
XDA Keeps crashing today :)
[Nexus 7 General] Morningstar132:
It's been saying this since Friday, I ordered 27/06 at 23:35 and I've heard nothing yet.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Come on I understand your position that Google didn't promise anything, but it is certainly implied when you pre-order something online that it should at least ship before being sold in B&M stores. I believe even Google will admit in coming days this roll out failed, and consumers dedicated to Google Play that pre-ordered direct got shunned by Google/Asus when the devices were sold at B&M what is now 2 business days later and I have no notification my pre-order has shipped, that is a failed roll-out regardless of the opinion of some that Google didn't promise anything on pre-order except mid-July launch which they are still well within.

We pre-ordered direct from Google, and waited when in hind site we should have just sat at a B&M between July 9-12 and picked one up. That is a failure to deliver product by the Google brand to those consumers dedicated to buying direct from the source.
[Nexus 7 General] NonovUrbizniz:
Atrix 4g... way worse, transformer had all sorts of issues.

And even if you get it Thursday it's not a week after they were in stores.

Rechecked ups. No update, mines prob sitting waiting to go to ups.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I hope XDA is making mad money from ad impressions on this thread, and if not Google needs to send them a box of Nexus 7s. :D

(27th 11am + accessories, no 2nd charge)
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
this is looking more and more like google recalled a F*'d up first run. you'll see.

Google have said to numerous persons, it would be worth it to wait. I have faith.
[Nexus 7 General] EVO DL:
I'm hoping for you too. But look how they scanned it in KY at 9:59AM and just a few minutes later we got an online update. Finally, they are starting to move the packages. The "real" shipping date was Friday, and 2 days makes it Tuesday for delivery. I hope you'll get your package tomorrow and not later. Today is too optimistic.
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
Ironically they are probably using Google adwords, so Google will also be profiting
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
When I pre order something I don't worry about getting it first, I worry about getting the product. I called a bunch of different stores last week (Sams Club, Gamestop basically any store that sells it) and all said they would not have any for a couple weeks. So I could either hope to get lucky, travel to a bunch of different stores, or just sit tight and let it get delivered to my door.

Sounds like you are offended that you didn't get yours first, sorry to hear that and better luck next time.
[Nexus 7 General] Jay_uk1185:
Fair enough - it's difficult to know if you are looking at the UK or US help page so I was sure it was saying the 3 business days message until this afternoon but I must have been viewing the US page.

This is definitely testing my patience now though! I just want a new toy to play with...

Jay
[Nexus 7 General] utstudent:
still got on "A UPS shipping label has been created"

luckily i live 4 hours away from Louisville, Kentucky
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
I don't have any idea about their shipping plan or how they are the shipping priorities sorted out. They should've get this done in FIFO basis regardless of other parameters. From the posts here on Friday evening, I think they shipped (or at least created shipping labels) the 8G units first. Did you ordered a 16G unit?
[Nexus 7 General] dtblair24:
I really don't wanna wait another day but nice to know it will be here tomorrow
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I'm thinking tomorrow too now, this is just the weirdest launch I've ever participated in, insanity I tell you lol
[Nexus 7 General] MMcCraryNJ:
I don't hate Google. I didn't hate on them when B&M stores started selling them before pre-orders were shipped. It happens. And I don't hate them now.

But like I said before, it's extremely frustrating to see that people who have ordered on the 9th/10th have confirmed that theirs is being delivered tomorrow. Meanwhile, people who have ordered on the 5th with no accessories (myself included) have nothing. No shipped e-mail, no tracking number, no charges, nothing updated in Google Play.

I'm happy some of you guys are getting them tomorrow. Even if I have to wait until Thursday/Friday for mine, I'd be ok with that, but I just want SOMETHING to happen. Some info. A tracking number would be nice. Ugh
[Nexus 7 General] erik111111:
Just got my green bar.

10:25 am origin scan

Delivery Tomorrow by end of day.

I am in Louisville, so it isn't going far between now and tomorrow EOD.
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
MyUPS says delivery monday between 12 and 4 even though i dont have a green bar yet

i hope its today
[Nexus 7 General] SunSDK:
Lol @ XDA thread "It looks like we're currently overcapacity. Please try again in a minute"

Any who only shipping label created
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
Hell, you could go pick yours up at the hub. I've thought about it, but don't want to cross the river with all the construction going on. Let the UPS guy do that.
[Nexus 7 General] DrHenley:
Coming Tomorrow!

But I already picked one up two days ago at Sam's so it will be anticlimactic...:eek:
[Nexus 7 General] masterofmayhem:
I ordered the 8gb on 7/2 and my tracking says Tuesday delivery for me in nj
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
i would, show some passion! :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
I will not chill out over this. Google ENCOURAGED us to pre-order directly from them. As a loyal customer and as someone who took their advice, I expect to get my tablet in a timely manner ON or BEFORE the release date to retailers. It's a slap in the face to your customers to charge $14 shipping and then have it arrive days after you released to retailers.

You can sit there and say I have no entitlement, etc, but the fact remains that Google ASKED us to pre-order from them. As such, Google has a responsibility to their direct orders first. Serving retail outlets on primarily NON-preorder fulfilments isn't right to your direct-order customers. Plain and simple. As they say -- the customer comes first. Or in Google's case -- the retailer comes first.
[Nexus 7 General] sp3nc3r87:
Pre-Ordered July 10th

Got my label created on July 13th and pre-ordered on 10th...

Still waiting for UPS to receive the package...hoping for a delivery tomorrow here in CT

8GB Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] lfeuln:
If it's any consolation to those waiting for delivery, I've just called 4 Game Stops, 4 Staples and 2 Office Depots and none has it in stock. Oh, and a MicroCenter just in case. Two of the Staples guys said they'd been inundated with requests. This is exactly what you're avoiding by having pre-ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Mine has to go a couple thousand miles west from there to Oakland, CA, then 130 miles north to Ukiah, CA and lastly from Ukiah 9 miles north to me in Redwood Valley on a nice, pretty brown delivery van. To think, I'm only 160 miles northwest of Google's HQ too :-D
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
So far i've called 3 Sam's Clubs and all 3 had at least 5 in stock. I'm so tempted....it's a rough decision
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Maybe I am an idiot....

But doesn't the black outline on the box look like a 7? This is by design you think, or just coincidence? Anyone else notice this?
[Nexus 7 General] Wintermute1:
Don't Complain...

... Many of us are still waiting.

:cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
Mine was updated and is coming out of Kentucky as well. Thinking about having it rerouted to my job now actually. Probably a good idea no?
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Just got an update to my shipping info: it is indeed in Louisville and it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow between 1245 and 1645.
[Nexus 7 General] erik111111:
Well, it is actually for my mom in Corydon, and won't see her till the week end anyway, so not a huge deal.

But if I did want to pick it up, how would I go about it?
[Nexus 7 General] x4sper:
Lol really? Just now?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using my mind.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
I don't disagree with you on that. Maybe you should have quoted the person I quoted...LOL
[Nexus 7 General] EVO DL:
It's all of us mad people here keep hitting the refresh key.... ROFL
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
Update looks like I will be playing with my accessories today!!
[Nexus 7 General] erik111111:
Yeah, I noticed it and yes, it was obviously intentional
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
I would. Or your local UPS Store. They'll charge you $5 bucks either way though. I'll have mine sent to the UPS Store
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
LOL my bad!

Ordered: June 27

Location: Dallas, GA

Status: None, no email, no MyUPS deliveries, no Nexus 7 shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] jwiskowski:
06/27 Order 16GB w/ Case

For those who ordered cases and/or early...

06/27 10:35am order of Nexus 7 16GB w/ Case finally charged to my card again. I believe it'll ship today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] KARNAG3:
The Staples near my location (Montreal, Québec, Canada) have them in stock but they told me they are in quarantine and ask me to call back this afternoon to see when I can buy one. If I can get them this week at their location and I dont have any feedback from my pre-order..i think i'm gonna cancel my pre-order or simply refuse the package when it will arrive so that I get reimbursed.
[Nexus 7 General] sitkal:
There is no indication and no solid proof that Google even allowed the B&M's and other retailers to start selling/shipping. If anything, what evidence there is points to Asus being the culprit, not Google.

Google are on target to meet their mid-July delivery time.

Yes, Google asked us to pre-order from them. Most people did. No-one forced you to do so.

Honestly, getting angry that you haven't received your N7 ahead of the stated delivery time is pointless.

Chill bro, y u mad?
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
..... Let me guess you graduated with a summa cum laude from MIT, right?
[Nexus 7 General] Wintermute1:
Priceless post!

... thanks for summarizing my thinking earlier today.

And no, I don't have a shipping label yet.

Ordered 6/29. No communication other than me watching google wallet...
[Nexus 7 General] jwiskowski:
Check for a pre-auth or charge to your card. I have that finally, as well as the date next to the order in Google Play now reflects today.

06/27 - 16GB w/ Case ordered as well.
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
I hear ya there. I ordered on the night of the 9th, and mine is set to be delivered tomorrow. While I'm upset at the shipping charges vs delivery date, yours kind of puts things into perspective. Also, reading about those who ordered w/cases (not sure how, considering the GP store told me it was unavailable and best could do was email notification) are being delayed further, despite being told that they'd be shipping immediately.....all these things are pretty ugly.

Google, you f*cked up, bottom line.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
I think it's clear that there won't be any UK Nexus 7's being shipped today :(
[Nexus 7 General] munimisu:
This is design buddy... :D
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Did they get a virus? ;-)
[Nexus 7 General] samarth1:
Did you order the nexus with the official case by any chance? If so, when did you order? I ordered an 8 and a 16gb with cases on June 27 and I've seen absolutely nothing, not even a hint of movement that my order even exists apart from the order confirmation I received. This is frustrating!
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
You would probably need to call the drop off place on Grade lane or is it Crittenden Dr.? Should be in the phone book or website. You wouldn't be able to pick it up until later in the day though. They'd have to track it down. I've done it before, but it's been 5 or 6 years so I don't recall many details.
[Nexus 7 General] ppp38:
I get that reading all this complaining probably got old 1000's of posts ago but I don't think anyone who is frustrated is being ridiculous.

I ordered a 16GB N7 on 6/28/12 from the plaster and while it did say that the devise shipped in 2-3 weeks, I was willing to pay the cost of shipping because I thought it would be shipped out when the devise was released. If I had known that I could've walked into a Sams or Game stop to buy the N7, I would've saved 14 bucks and grabbed one on Friday or I would've placed my pre-order with Game Stop. It is annoying knowing that I have been waiting since the end of June and someone else was able to pick up an N7 on a whim at a B&M.

Google didn't screw us over per se but their customer service has been lousy and I won't be preordering anything else from the playstore. That being said, I'm atleast fortunate enough to be in the first wave instead of being one of the ppl who ordered on 6/27 or 6/28 like myself but haven't even been charged yet. At the very least, the devises should've been shipped out by order date. It doesn't look good for Google to be sending someone who ordered their N7 on July 5th the devise before the guy who ordered on 6/27. Imagine going to a fast food place and getting your food after the guys 10 cars behind you get theirs. I think its the same sort of frustration.
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
I would assume an order with the case would be more than 1.7 pounds.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
You can sign up for My Choice UPS (free) and change the delivery address for a fee of $5. I think holding it at a facility might be free...
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
Looks like he won't be playing with it today, unless the 16th has magically turned into the 17th....
[Nexus 7 General] danta.moore:
ill say this. we pre ordered to reserve us a product. the shipping date or availability was not given to us. im not mad that some store got it before mine was shipped. its 100 degrees outside, and 71 in my office. theres no way i was running in the heat to a gamestop(potentially to come back empty handed) to pick one up when i know mine will be put on my desk within the next week. so all in all, i think the pre order was just to make sure we would have one, not to make sure we would be the FIRST with them.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
LMAO! Right. I knew it was as dumb post and I would lose some cool points, oh well didn't have many cool points to start with LOL.
[Nexus 7 General] angrygnome:
My tracking info just updated. Shipping out of Louisville, KY. Estimated delivery tomorrow (17th). I ordered on the 6th.
