My experience yesterday after work (I really wanted to pick one up from a retailer so I could reject Google Play's delivery--it would have given me tremendous satisfaction).

Checked my local Sam's Club, they had no idea what a Nexus 7 was and had me repeat it several times. Checked with electronics, per them they had no stock.

Checked the Gamestop just a couple hundred feet away. Again, no dice. One of the guys behind the counter said I could pre-order for the "third wave in August." The other guy had gotten his pre-order from Gamestop earlier in the day and was very complimentary of it. Also knew of and had commented about this XDA Developers thread.

Checked with the Office Depot less than a mile away. Guy on the floor said he didn't think they would be carrying it due to the impending litigation from Apple. Also, is Office Depot on the verge of bankruptcy? Just seemed their floor was barren of merchandise in spots.

No luck, so I guess I've hitched my horse to Google Play, for better or worse.

Restocking fee does not apply if the item is unopened per my conversation with Google.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I wonder what companies like Samsung must be thinking now though, this will probably devastate their Galaxy Tab 7 sales.
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
Holy crap these conspiracy theories are hilarious!
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
That first one was me :). They were really stupid at that store, I had to have the manager email His superiors. Have fun with your nexus!!
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
The Sams club deal sounds pretty good with the 2 year warranty. I am going to stop by the one near my house in Farmville. Hopefully they have one. Got my tracking number from Google this morning around 2AM eastern time. The tracking number is still not showing up in the system but i am sure it will soon.
[Nexus 7 General] glowworm62:
They say "May not apply" on the website.
[Nexus 7 General] jycas:
Any news for those who ordered the N7 16gb w/case on the 27th? I haven't seen any charge or move. :(
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
So I received my tracking email about 11pm CDT last night, still when I check my tracking status it says UPS has no record of this number. Did I miss the first shipment cut-off, i.e. getting it on Monday? I ordered a 16 GB within 90 minutes of the keynote on the 27th.
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
Got my confirmation email this morning at 2 for my 16G and 8G. As mentioned before, I ordered on the first. The supplied tracking # isn't showing up on UPS yet, but that's not surprising. My Google Wallet status remained "Complete" but when I click on "Info" it notes that my card was charged and gives a link to the tracking #.

Since it is clearly shipping and this thread has reached 10K posts, I think this would be a fine time for a mod to put a big ol' padlock on this one.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
There is one theory I have about the situation. Maybe Apple is about to try and Ban the sales of the Nexus7 (honestly whats the diff between it and the Gnex with the search thing) and they want to send everything out as quick as possible.... possibly sooner then expected.....

Just a thought, but to whomever lived through the Verizon Galaxy Nexus situation, this is still nothing.... 10k posts... we have well beyond 100k on android central lol...
[Nexus 7 General] z28james:
Well, as long as yours has changed the people in the different countries that have yet to see jack can just reflect to themselves. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
I think this is probably correct, the retailers in the UK that sold it first are the ones that generally offer Asus products first. Asus probably has an agreement with them to release devices through them that they needed to fulfill. They probably planned for these retailers to have devices at the same time as Google but timings got a little screwed up for some reason.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Yeah, it's served it's purpose and ran it's course. It's time to close it down.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
Not just other countries... Im in Florida and ordered on the 5th and Nothing has changed yet and no charges on my card
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
Bingo, this shipping story is far from over for people. There are a lot of people who are still waiting to be charged. If you are content or not interested anymore then feel free to go post in another thread. (Not directed at you z28james).
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
maybe for those of you who have already received confirmation its over......
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
I received tracking info today, should have it monday!!!!:cyclops::D:):victory::silly::(:o
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
Feel free to post in another thread then, a lot of people are still waiting for even a charge.
[Nexus 7 General] RandomMinds:
Agreed... Im in PA, ordered 16gig + case + power within 15minutes of its availability and still havent heard anything.

This forum should comtinue.
[Nexus 7 General] DropThePuck:
I received my tracking email last night at 11:30pm eastern time (ordered on June 29 at 11:00am). Checked my tracking and it just said the label was created and nothing else. Just looked and it says label created, but it now also says:

Scheduled Delivery:

Monday, 07/16/2012, By End of Day

This is shipping to Pennsylvania.

:D:D:D

I wanted to also order a case, but looking back I'm glad I didn't add one to the order. Plus with the other Asus colored cases coming out I wouldn't want a grey one anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisbd1:
I'm glad because I was sure you were about to go out of your gourd. I've checked this thread just to see when you got your shipping info :D
[Nexus 7 General] Ayenn13:
I would say it probably shouldn't close. There will always be people waiting for shipping and such. Just let it go and be what it is.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Yeah, but, this thread is about shipping. Google has made this statement, therefore the shipping has started and it is just a matter of waiting.

Going on and on and on about it isn't helpful, it's not going to make the shipping occur faster, and does anyone really care about who else has been charged / got confirmations / got shipping emails etc? It doesn't reflect *your* personal order, so it's irrelevant.
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
I have this one theory about the ghost of Steve Jobs intercepting all communication between Google and Asus.

Just look at these evil eyes!
[Nexus 7 General] dreamer3kx:
Agree, Asus got trigger happy here.
[Nexus 7 General] MSigler:
Got my tracking number at 2am, I ordered two 8gb with no accessories and they're being shipped to Memphis, TN.
[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
And what about us from UK? Ours won't ship till Monday! ;(
[Nexus 7 General] girux1:
Pre-ordered about 1 hour after it was available on the 27 and no tracking info or any charge on my bank account yet.

Anyone from Quebec in the same situation?
[Nexus 7 General] cheezcake:
Yes Australians still left in the dark, but I suspect they'll start shipping them on Monday, so just 12 hours until then and then hopefully will begin to see some shipping info later in the day
[Nexus 7 General] htcsens2:
Yes, I am also curious if google has mandated an in person signature with UPS.

One thing you can do is have the package delivered to a neighbor (who you know will be home to sign) that saves several days of run-around with UPS.
[Nexus 7 General] :
What about our international counterparts who paid more than we did to get the same product and have not received any information concerning their order? I smell selfishness... "My tent is up!".
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Does anyones tracking number have any info past label created?
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
I dont want to be 'that guy' wanting sympathy, but I have a touching story as to why i should get my nexus 7 monday :)

I was waiting for the Galaxy Nexus on VZW for months. My Wife thought she was pregnant in late november. So we scheduled a ultrasound on December 15th. The same day the Galaxy Nexus came out. I picked it up in the morning and went to the appointment. Me and the wife and the Nexus have been through alot recently, but she is set to be Induced..... Monday Night... how fitting it would be to get the phone the day we were 100% sure she was pregnant and the tablet the day he came :)

back to your regularly scheduled program
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
They already changed how the search works to get around the patent, this change would also apply to the Nexus 7 once the ota is applied.

Not so bothered about apples legal shenanigans, in the UK they haven't had much luck with the cases so far losing their cases via HTC (3 patents from 4 ruled invalid, including the swipe to unlock one, with the 4th valid but not infringed on HTC devices) and Samsung (judge ruled that the 2 tabs, while similar on first look, gave different experiences and that an informed user wouldn't confuse the two).
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I'm seeing the same thing; got my tracking number around 9pm last night and still can't pull up any information about the package,
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
Yep.

Did you try calling some Staples? The ones near me refuse to let their stock go. Even if the website now sells them and there is no more mention of the 23 july...
[Nexus 7 General] NinjaZX6R:
My tracking number arrived at 2am and it isn't found on UPS. I ordered July 11th, 8gb from the Play Store. I figured mine wouldn't be shipping until 2013!!! Guess we are getting lucky :-)

[Nexus 7 General] jsgiv:
Lmfao.... <tears>
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Staples site says they're not even sold at our local store (Ukiah, CA).

Congrats. Is this your first?
[Nexus 7 General] GLMonkey:
I'm in PA and myself, my sister, and a co-worker ordered the 16 gb and the case and we have heard nothing. My sister ordered the 27th and my co-worker and I ordered early on the 28th. Keep it open until all are delivered.
[Nexus 7 General] dexter35803:
Well i dont know if its been said but it looks like some of the early ones have major defects including becoming bricks so maybe the ones we get wont be so bad CHEA and not have to RA or return to stores and wait for exchanges
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
Still nothing here:

ordered July 6, 16gb, no case, no final charge.

Colorado
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
Here in Canada, they are out of stock on the website but shows the 1-10 day shipping of in stock items. Next shipment for online store is 07/17...
[Nexus 7 General] ayunyan:
Did you order accessories?
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
Thanks, Yeah its our first :)

Thats the sole reason im keeping my google play order. some people have mentioned issues with service at third party retailers.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
haha, get ready for never playing with your devices ever again, ever!
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
Anyone else here ordered on the 27th with a case get anything? I know I haven't.

Would like to highly recommend that you spend some of your $25 play store credit on "Baby ESP". Two young ones of my own and the app is excellent.

Got charged and UPS tracking number, but it just says label created so I bet it won't ship till Monday. I'm from Illinois and ordered on June 30 16 giger if that matters.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
I was thinking about that for the wifey....

I also go babycam monitor and use an old droid 1 in a dock as my camera :)
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
"Early ones"? The tablet hasn't even been out for 48 hours. All the tablets shipped within the next couple of weeks will be "early ones".
[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
The tracking numbers that were received late yesterday will not show activity on UPS until Monday morning when the package is picked up and scanned by UPS.
[Nexus 7 General] girux1:
No.. only the 8go nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
anyone else notice the main play store nexus 7 link changed from pre-order to buy now?
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
Well just because people got them early from a retail location has no bearing on where it was pulled from the stock. My Nexus 7 coming in the mail from the play store has just the same chance of having a defect as the one I got from Sams Club Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
CHEA?
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Well I still haven't received a tracking number for my 16 gig'r that I preordered on the 7th. Glad I picked one up from Sams yesterday cause its looking like it may be a while before the get to mine.

BTW, did Google throw in any extras like people were tink they would if you bought it from the play store?
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
_thalamus doesn't think the thread should be here anymore

SHUT 'ER DOWN! :D

still waiting for my actual charge, let alone any shipping information...
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
My guess is they sent the devices to their warehouse in Canada from California so they can send it to UPS from inside the country. With the idea of saving us from the border taxes. We'll probably have some news monday...
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
You know I wouldn't be so mad that my Tablet will get shipped next week, I can wait, and I know that Retailers are selling them early just to increase there sales its not Googles fault. I just wish that Google would release a statement saying why these retailers are selling them early and give users who ordered with Google something extra E.G. Play store credit :)
[Nexus 7 General] dexter35803:
Yes the ones shipped to Retails should be in a different batch then the ones sent to google plus im pretty sure asus will send the best to google for the play store since they are the ones that had the tablet made and wouldnt wanna make google mad with shotty merchendise which would be y google is making all retailers handle there own RMAs

[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
Is that what happened with the Galaxy Nexus and all the terrible display issues?

Retailers like Google order from the manufacturer as many as they need and they get sent out of whatever the manufacturer has available at that time. The manufacturer does not intentionally make Google's with good parts and everyone else's with poor quality parts.
[Nexus 7 General] girux1:
Yeah probably :o

Just picked mine up from Office Depot this morning after yesterday's debacle. One manager let me put one on hold @ round rock/Austin area and am willing to give it to someone who PMs me. I will give you the store info and hold name so you can pick it up
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Did the people who ordered from Play find any extras like some people were expecting. I read that it was supposed to come with headphones but mine didn't. Just a rumor like everything else.
[Nexus 7 General] mrjinglesusa:
Wow. The idiocy of some people in this thread is astounding. Bravo!
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
You received yours from GP already?
[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
No one has yet received Google Play orders. The first shipments were yesterday afternoon at the earliest. People will begin receiving them late Monday or Tuesday.
[Nexus 7 General] Geekgirrrl:
Yes. Wallet update 7/14.

N7 16gig, no case. Submitted order 7/2 6pm @ Google Play.
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
No. Ordered mine on the 7th from Play but caught wind of people buying them from Sams so I stopped by there yesterday and snagged one. Also bought the 2 year warranty and paid only a dollar or two more than I did on play with no warranty.
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Then what's the deal with people talking about bad batches?
[Nexus 7 General] vevmesteren:
So it's official then. Google, Ups or Asus haste Canada. Maybe all three of them do...

[Nexus 7 General] Wilko1337:
Agreed, and so are those who ordered through GP in the UK.

The thread is not deviating away from its topic of discussion nor is it redundant. In fact, the topic title seems to cover all GP orders and shipping within the N7 domain (and not just pre-orders), so unless the thread degrades into spam or the N7 is no longer being sold, shutting down this thread just serves no purpose.
[Nexus 7 General] Thebeast715:
No need to cancel this thread yet imho.I'm in the US, preordered and still dont have my N7 so I continue to lurk lol.

Those of us that ordered the tablet with accessories (case, charger, etc.) have yet to see any activities. I have not seen charges on my CC, much less emails from Google/UPS.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
That's weird, because if they are out of stock on the accesories you'd think they'd send the tablet first, then send the accessories when they were in stock.

I'm thinking Tuesday, but it's hard to tell because my package is still in the "Ready for UPS" state. They haven't actually shipped yet...
