Tesco To The Rescue

+1 for Tesco here too.

GP order from 27th June arrived on Wednesday. Defective unit. An hour on hold to Google, asked for an RMA and refund.

Battled with the Tesco website Thursday morning to place a Click 'n' Collect order using the discount code and some Clubcard vouchers. Got a cancellation email a few hours later. Found a PC World that allegedly had stock, placed reservation. Went to meeting. Returned from meeting to voicemail apologising that they don't actually have stock. "If you've already got one from somewhere else please disregard this message".

Placed a second Click 'n' Collect Tesco order Friday morning. Had to pay full whack this time because I'd already used up the discount code / vouchers on the previous order. Nervously checked order status all day as it moved to "Confirmed" for the N7 but only "Partiallly Confirmed" for the whole order.

Went into Tesco at 1pm on Saturday. Hadn't arrived (fair enough, they did say 4pm). Phoned the store again at 5pm, hadn't arrived. Will it be in on Sunday? "No. And the desk isn't open on Sunday, you will have to try again Monday morning." Desk opens at 8am on Monday. I need to be on a train to work at 7am.

Called Tesco Direct customer services Sunday morning, asked them where my N7 was. "We're not sure, there's no tracking number. A lot of people have been calling about these things". Customer services phoned the store, turns out it did arrive on Saturday in an groceries van not via the Direct delivery which is why they couldn't find it. Went back to the store, desk was open after all, picked it up.

Google haven't come back to me with an RMA yet so between that and the pending Tesco refund for the first order I'm £400 out of pocket. That said I'm totally loving the N7 now I've got a working one :)

i ordered a 16gb on the 10th July and that ^^^^ is exactly what has happened to mine this morning.:good:

*touches wood*

*strokes lucky rabbit foot*

*beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice*
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
It's showtime! :D

I LOVE Beetlejuice! Well, anything Tim Burton is awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverMerlin:
No nothing from me. UK based I pre ordered the 16 GB on the 5th July via PS, my order went to the top of the play store on the 19th, no credit card action as yet.

There more important things to worry about in life, but I am a bit disappointed when I could have bought this from a retail outlet (although stocks seem to run out pretty quick).

Seems like there is no action at all on the 16GB delivers so far today as to the lack of action here. Is the a reflection that the PS now states that the nexus 7 is out of stock? Hopefully will get it before the end of the week as Google have promised.
[Nexus 7 General] Darv:
My order for an 8GB and 16GB went to the top of my orders on Google Play on Thursday. Not heard anything since then though. I haven't been able to check to see if the money has been taken though (company card).

What's most annoying is the 8GBs seem to be in stock, but I'm stuck waiting for the 16GB before they will send them.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverMerlin:
Got a feeling that they will be sent in batch - a lot of stock will come into the UK all at once, seems to me like there isn't much in the country at the moment for the 16GB which is why no one seems to be getting one. Just a guess though who knows.
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
I think that sounds like a fairly sensible assumption - i doubt there will be as much 'drama' as the week or so following the initial release (less volume shipped etc)
[Nexus 7 General] eager27:
I'd like to think that as we pre-ordered, there is enough stock reserved to cover us. (overly hopeful maybe!). Although maybe it would be nice to get a second manufacturing wave that has all the QA issues ironed out (expecting too much now!)

My presumption is that the GP email about shipping timetables was to enable them to cope with the backlog efficiently. It was only fair that those with earlier pre-orders should get theirs first, and this week is our turn.

I realised today that actually, it's only been 2 week since I ordered mine on the 8th. So things aren't so bad. If nothing by the end of this week, then there is reason for being bothered about it all.

I do feel for those who pre-ordered from the start and are yet to hear anything. That really does stink.
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
Nothing yet... Eugh!

UK - 06/07 - 16gb
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
Me neither :( Canada 7/3.
[Nexus 7 General] apis10:
Just received mine.

This is a beautiful device!

It is amazing how little this device costs. The smoothness, the quality and refinement of it are only matched by the iPad.

But is just so much nicer to hold!

16gb UK
[Nexus 7 General] Noctrl:
Also still waiting :(

UK 6/28
[Nexus 7 General] frazzle121180:
Ordered my 16gb UK on the 14 July, just checked GP and it has moved to top of list with a status of complete and today's date. Hopefully this is them getting shipped now.
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
Mine moved to the top of Google Play last Thursday, but I've not had any shipping notice yet :(
[Nexus 7 General] SilverMerlin:
When did you order it?
[Nexus 7 General] Dazzh82:
Did you get a shipping email before it arrived?
[Nexus 7 General] HideYoKids:
Canadian here, ordered 16gb on July 1st. My order went to the top of my order list on the Play Store as well. It also looks like my card has been charged!!
[Nexus 7 General] :
JULY 1st UK Play Store 2x 16GB No accessories

Nexus on top of the list since the 19th. Nothing since.

I expect to hear something today. Was on the Phone to Google of Saturday and they said all they can onfirm is it ill be shipped by the end of the week. :(
[Nexus 7 General] id10terrordfw:
Any US ~13TH orders see any movement since moving to the top of the Play Store last week?
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
Nope. My order dropped to the middle of my order list. No change in Google wallet and no pending charges :(
[Nexus 7 General] id10terrordfw:
Hmm, mine is still listed as the 20th on Play, but 13th order date on Wallet. (07:21 CDT)
[Nexus 7 General] kcodya:
Weird thing happened: It showed up as pending on my card account this weekend, but as a CREDIT instead of a charge. In other words, my account now has $275 extra in it at the moment. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
I see Google Play Store has withdrawn sales of the 16gb on PS, it just says email for updates.

Obviously the 16gb has proved more popular than Google expected
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
well, well "COMING SOON" :o

let's hope this means new orders, rather than those of us who preordered... :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] sfletcher83:
I'm awaiting a WORKING device ... order 29/06 (UK)

Received 19/07 9am

RMA'd 19/07 9:20am due to non-working touchscreen

Confirmation Email received 19/07 9:30am

RMA email received 23/07 06:25am

Replacement order placed 23/07 07:00am.

And now to play the waiting game ... AGAIN :(

Not happy Google, really not happy.
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
Well hopefully it doesnt have an impact on you guys still waiting for their "pre ordered" device, infact I hope it assists in Google getting their fingers out and sorting the back orders first!
[Nexus 7 General] Brac20:
I went into pc world today to have a play on their display model. Persuaded a lady to buy one for her son instead of a galaxy tab 7. They were sold out so I suggested getting an 8gb off Google Play as they have plenty.

After having a play I am once again psyched for when my Nexus finally arrives!
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
No, I haven't seen anything at all besides the order moving to the top of my order list, and my Visa being charged a second time.
[Nexus 7 General] tlpretender:
Same boat, but mine was the 12th. Still shows the 20th in the PS, but no charge yet.

Dear Google,

Please take my money.
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
No one in the UK had any luck today? I was atleast expecting a shipping email :(
[Nexus 7 General] eager27:
^^^ this. And nothing yet.
[Nexus 7 General] pjohnson87:
Completed?

I ordered my 16 gb on the 12th and it's at the top of my order list and says completed on 7/20/12. No tracking information though so idk.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
Has anybody received their tablet BEFORE getting charged? Just curious since people are getting theirs before getting an email and updated google wallet. Dammit I'm getting impatient

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Man has been like that for a while now too. I ordered on the 13th
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
I'm contemplating calling them, however I am afraid that because I am only 18, they're just gonna pass me off as an impatient kid who wants his new toy and not take me seriously..

I wanted it before the Olympics begin so I can test my new app and launch it before the opening ceremony... Grrrr!
[Nexus 7 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Don't worry.. many people here older than you called them giving them hell
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
I am so disappointed in the service so far. I haven't heard anything from them, even sent them emails. I just really don't wanna get myself involved on the phone because I would have no idea what to say!
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
18 or not mate, you are a customer, a paying customer - get on the phone, dont let them frighten you - speak in a deep elder voice lol :p
[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
Same boat, ordered a 16gb on the 13th and it moved to the top of my play store list twice on the 20th now its in the middle, no update, pre-auth charge on my card has been pending credit the last few days.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
My pre-auth charge dropped a few days ago
[Nexus 7 General] vkapadia:
Been playing with the tablet a ton over the weekend. It's AWESOME!!!

Rooting is also SUPER easy. If you want to root, there's a couple methods, but this is the easiest http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475 (one note, the app has instructions for installing drivers. they have separate instruction for windows 7 or previous versions. i have 7 but i found the previous versions instructions worked better. or just install drivers yourself. as long as ADB can see your device, you're good to go.)
[Nexus 7 General] viiddee:
SHIPPING!!!!

Uk play store just shipped my Nexus 7 16gb :D
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
When did you order?
[Nexus 7 General] viiddee:
28 June :)
[Nexus 7 General] mrtechno1999:
Thanks for the timings; that means I've probably got another day to wait until I should phone Google to find out why I haven't got an RMA email yet.
[Nexus 7 General] norman1080:
This pre-order is aggravating! Charges pending since the 20th.

I just want my pre-ordered (06/07) N7 in my hands!

Is that so much to ask!

UGH!
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
So they didn't hold up their promise of pre 30th orders shipping before Friday?

That gives me less hope :(
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
And well overdue considering you ordered 28th .... Nice going, glad for you dude ;)
[Nexus 7 General] hite:
Wewt just got my shipping notice for my Nexus 7 16GB.

UK play store rodere3d on the 3rd of July.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilko1337:
Finally got shipping email. :S

Ordered 30th June, 16GB, UK
[Nexus 7 General] ibopm:
Any Canadians still waiting? I haven't heard anything at all since July 4th.
[Nexus 7 General] Darv:
Bah, I ordered mine on the 4th and I've heard nothing yet :(
[Nexus 7 General] :
SHIPPED!

Got home to find a nice email in my inbox. Email came through at 16:34 UK time.

UK PS

2x16GB

1st July

No accessories.

I have the next two days off work so its perfect (late) timing.

I will still be going after my £9.99 postage for a refund as they did not keep to the 2-3 weeks that they stated when i ordered.

Time to put a 'Gordon House' Sign out the front of my house.

Good luck to all of you who are still waiting. Not long now guys! Stay strong :)
[Nexus 7 General] killer174:
is the 8gb nexus having delivering issues?
[Nexus 7 General] waggermama:
ARGGHHHHH

Gave up on my Play Store order (UK 3rd July 16gb), put a Tesco order on Saturday, collected this afternoon, having *just* received a shipping notice from GPS

Got Tesco one home and it's got the screen separation problem. Now I just do not know what to do.

Yours, Chronically Indecisive
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
Let us know if it comes tomorrow so we know if Google held up its promise of overnight shipping!
[Nexus 7 General] :
I would return it to Tesco for a refund and wait for the GPS one. It should come tomorrow right?

Will do, won't leave this thread without saying bye, its be one hell of a ride.
[Nexus 7 General] devo999:
Still waiting. Ordered June 28th. Almost 4 weeks now. I have given up apparently the rest of world gets it first. Then when there is no demand left they will ship to Canada.
[Nexus 7 General] WhiteiceDMSTech:
USA Order 16 gig only on July 13th (July 12th Google time zone) and still no update on my end today. Still no preauth or charge on my card either.

Also, my order date changed from July 13th to July 19th to July 20th. It still shows July 20th today.
[Nexus 7 General] waggermama:
the voice of reason, yes and fingers crossed they come tomorrow
[Nexus 7 General] TomRichy:
JUST GOT THE EMAIL!

I'll check in tomorrow if it comes! I am so happy, I'm not going to sleep tonight! Haha.

Hope everyone else gets their emails very soon!
[Nexus 7 General] Doktaphex:
Ordered 16GB version on June 28th from Play Store UK, just received shipping email now. Yay!
[Nexus 7 General] Dazzh82:
Hope that means mines gonna come soon. Ordered same day and not heard anything yet!
[Nexus 7 General] hpka:
I just noticed that my order date in the Play Store changed/jumped to top. My new order date, showing on the play store orders overview page, is July 21st 2012

No shipping email though and order still shows as "sent"... as it has for 2 weeks :(

Ordered 16gb N7 on 3rd July to be delivered to Burnaby, BC, Canada...
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
Same. All I have is a pre auth charge from panda express. Grrr:banghead:
[Nexus 7 General] adamase:
UK, 16GB ordered 2nd of July; just got the shipping email, but nothing on the TNT site as yet.

Off on holiday this evening...
[Nexus 7 General] skyler0:
Ouch, that sucks ;(. My friend and I both ordered on the 27th. His arrived to Windsor earlier this morning. Due to arrive on tuesday.

Mine, I'm not sure at the moment. Last I've heard so far is arriving at Maumee, OH at noon on 7/21/2012. No update yet.

Still being shipped UPS standard though... I paid for 2-day.
[Nexus 7 General] jamiefly:
Giving up with the Muppet Store as Tesco's stock....

UK 28/6 ..

I'm fed up waiting and sick of fanbois laughing at the delay.... "Apple have nothing to fear from a bunch of advertising salespeople" - Google have let us all down but have you ever heard of a sales-person giving a monkeys about the customer once they've paid up...?

good luck everyone who's waiting. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
Mine says Complete but I got a Pre-Auth.

Ordered July 3rd, in Ontario, Canada
[Nexus 7 General] Dazzh82:
Im guessing your the same as me order 28 and heard nothing?
[Nexus 7 General] Ghostifish:
UK Play store, ordered 16gb on 11th July

Recieved shipping notification email @18:30 today (23rd July)

When i ordered, the play store said to expect 1-2 weeks for delievery. So if it arrives tomorrow or wednesday then google will have kept to that timeframe. I can't really complain.

*rather worryingly the TNT tracking number resolves to a package that was delievered 13/07 over 200miles away. Hopefully thats just consignment number reuse and once the package is properly scanned into the depots it will updated. Typically I get emails from couriers telling me when to expect delievery, hours after the package has arrived.
[Nexus 7 General] Tornadojoe:
Ordered 10 P.M. July 11, received product evening of July 18.
[Nexus 7 General] St1ck33:

Oooh, thanks for the lunch idea while I await my shipment, notification of shipment, or any other communique about my order!
[Nexus 7 General] drdeathley:
Hi everybody just got email from tnt to say my nexus is finally being delivered tomorrow, good job really cos the misses has nabbed the one I got from tesco's today off me.

I will keep reading this thread in the hope that everybody who ordered finally gets theirs.

16gb 5/7 uk

Anyone know what times TNT deliver between?
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
Nice try, Google,

Uk

16gb

Nothing apart from that email!

Update! 19/7 jumped to top of list.

Update! 21/7 nothing! Not a bean. Starting to lose hope. :(

Update! Still nothing 23/7.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Same. Ordered on the 12th, moved to top of PS list on the 20th, pre-auth charge dropped days ago. Still waiting. /sigh
[Nexus 7 General] warpkid:
UK Here.

Ordered 27th June shortly after the announcement.

Had the two standard emails and nothing more.

No tracking number / dispatch note / nothing!

Have called Google twice (on hold for 40 mins at a time) only to be told that "it should have shipped and to basically wait as there is nothing they can tell me".

NEVER again will I order from the Google Play Store. A friend at work decided he wanted one last Thursday, popped onto Tesco online, put an order in and had it the next day for 20 quid less and no shipping charge.

What a complete waste of my time!
[Nexus 7 General] XooLoo:
exactly same here... except I ordered on the 13th...
[Nexus 7 General] glensta:
Similiar here. I've ordered a 16Gb on July 14th, shipping to SoCal. My date on google wallet just changed to July 20th. I'm assuming they're preparing the shipment and I'll see a bank debit soon & hopefully an email update. Gettin' exicited. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
I called yesterday and was told with overnight shipping I might receive it before I get an email. Heh... we'll see.
[Nexus 7 General] glensta:
Yeah, that sounds good to me. I know once my account is charged, we's on da right track. Funny city location Btw :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
Don't count on it but anything is possible.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilko1337:
Is there a pattern I should expect for delivery date? If it got shipped (according to the email) at ~17:00 today, when does it normally get delivered? Perhaps tomorrow (as it's overnight delivery)?
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
I live in SoCal too. I'm willing to drive to NorCal to get my tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Still no shipping confirmation, nothing since order floated to top in playstore and pending charges thursday :(:banghead::banghead::banghead::(

Sent from my Transformer while the N7 is lost in the Play Store Black Hole.

16gb N7 UK ordered 3rd July.
[Nexus 7 General] Brac20:
Don't get me wrong I'm pleased you're getting you're nexus but I'm also annoyed that you ordered a week later than me and I've heard nothing :( I think I'm going to call Google tonight I'm fed up now.
[Nexus 7 General] Ghostifish:
I wonder... doesn't look like shipping is based on order date. Maybe its region based? Or maybe even alphabetical by last name.. but if thats the case I should be nearer the back of the queue with R. (I'm much much better if its alphabetical by first name, but that NEVER happens)
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:
From the UK, got an email saying it's on its way with TNT so happy :D
[Nexus 7 General] glensta:
Kool, I'm trying to exercise my patience and wait for it, but damn it's hard. Where ya at in SoCal? I'm near Westminster/Huntington Beach.
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Noone knows how the queue is worked out, so far seems random, I think it may involve a revolving disk with the orders on, a set of darts and a blindfold.

Sent from my Transformer while the N7 is lost in the Play Store Black Hole.

16gb N7 UK ordered 3rd July.
[Nexus 7 General] apis10:
Yes i did.
[Nexus 7 General] skyler0:
It's hard to say but since you ordered an 8GB and stock isn't as tight you shouldn't have to wait too long for shipment.

My friend and I ordered at the same time (I a few minutes before him) and his got shipped out a few hours before mine. Same region, same order date, and I am slightly before him alphabetically (by last name)
[Nexus 7 General] black_lightning:
Walked into my local tesco and 5 mins later im home with my beautiful nexus 7

All you guys waiting for GP to ship must be going mental. Just cancel and order from tesco boys!
[Nexus 7 General] apis10:
On 27th.

I sent it to a forwarding service in UK as I don't actually live in UK.

They received it on Friday and they sent it to me in Cyprus.
[Nexus 7 General] bronx:
You lucky sob :D

I dunno anymore what's worse - waiting for delivery or having it delivered fubar'ed. I hate google for selling me faulty tablet. Reported problem to GP on friday, no news since then... :banghead:
[Nexus 7 General] St1ck33:
Keeping my fingers crossed, as well as my eyes open to see if some of the stores get some stock locally. BB, FS, and Staples were out of stock this past weekend.
[Nexus 7 General] psycosis:
Ordered June 27th right after the io keynote. Mine (16gig) is sitting in Windsor right now. I am in Toronto. Supposed to be here tomorrow. I agree it is BS that they prioritized location instead of when ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] nobeagle:
Another reason that many of the play pre-order people may be complaining, is UPS is known for not actually attempting delivery, instead leaving the little stickers on the door to pick up (the next day, sometimes two more days, because they'll "try" to deliver again the next day, and calling in won't make it to the drivers) at the central hub. The last time that UPS delivered something for me, the guy didn't even come to my door with the package, he just had the sticker (I was home with a sick kid, and noticed the guy on his way back (no knock, or door bell)), and he had to go back to the truck and rummage around for thirty seconds. Unless I'm very lucky, UPS does NOT save me a trip out.

I'm in Canada, so dates might be different here, but if B&M stores have it, I'm picking one up during an early lunch break, and refusing the play store sent one. I'm also one of the early orders, and hadn't heard that it would be available from B&M stores when I'd ordered. UPS sucks.
[Nexus 7 General] StealthTH:
YES! Thread back online!
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Hmmm, Its back again huh. I'm so confused.
[Nexus 7 General] BaconStep:
you know what rhymes with spock?
[Nexus 7 General] TahrirSquare:

[Nexus 7 General] speednub:
I am bored and restless, so for all the complainers and callers-more-annoying-to-playsupport-than-telemarketers(like myself) and fans and lovers of the nexus 7, I shall rhyme.

Never have I been so excited to receive a product, but this time

is different- I find myself attracted to Jelly Bean, 'cause I've always had a sweet tooth.

Everyone's giving us crazy rumors, but all of us are asking.... WHAT DAY IS IT COMING?! I WANT THE TRUTH!

I want to get my hands on it, and feel all of its soft-backed goodness with a desire like no other :O

It's got Google Now! A remarkable addition, it could be the mother

of the device that slays that nasty sue-everyone Apple, and its crappy phones

And then we won't have those weirdos who worship Apple, they're like drones

But anyways I'm gonna play my heart out when it arrives

This poem is so full of epic (fail) it should be archived

So I shall write more later because I don't want to clog the page

Can't wait for my baby.. it's the start of a new age :O :O :O
[Nexus 7 General] diecast17:
Ok I know I may get flamed for saying this, but when I got the New iPad my credit card didn't get charged till the day after I got the iPad.

Do you think this might happen with the Nexus 7 from Google??
[Nexus 7 General] churraman:
I just talked to my local gamestop and they told me that it would be available by the end of this week or early next week.
[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
Any new updates?
