So whats the backstory, the play store is now offering overnight delivery, at least theyre offering an option to charge you for overnight delivery now? We all know how well they seem to handle order fulfillment and shipping times. Its hard to believe that they are having any issues with stock on any level, especially once considering that they have lied to so many people on many levels in RE: warranties and shipping and just about any topic when it comes to making you feel a little better about the current junky situation, but just considering how many retailers and countries have a stock, and which ones, like sams club and walmart and just places having a good number in stock that usually wouldnt if there were supply constraints of a launch product. Also the fact that peoples orders like mine that werent placed till last week, mine went through on july 11th and is set to deliver today. Its possible i guess i just think this is a logistics problem not a supply problem, if it was a supply problem i dont think that recent orders like mine would be getting fulfilled and shipped like they are, but who knows.

I ordered mine during the keynote, had the money taken out yesterday but have not had any email yet about shipping. I ordered the 8GB version and I'm in Merseyside.
[Nexus 7 General] jonohanson:
I'm in Sheffield (UK), and ordered the 16Gb @ 1317 29/6/12, yesterday my order moved to the top of my play purchases and money was taken.

No delivery email as of yet.

Ordered 28/6, no email but there is a discrepancy of £208.99 on my credit card (but nothing on the actual transaction list as yet) and Nexus now at top of play store purchases (as of 16/7).

I really need to learn to relax but feel the overwhelming urge to check my email and this thread every hour!

I'm with you I ordered 16gig on the third and still nothing no charges or anything I am officially pissed my brother ordered on the 12th and his should be here today.
[Nexus 7 General] glowworm62:
As a fellow Aussie, surely the though of flashing and rooting this weekend has to make you giggle.
[Nexus 7 General] Warbs816:
You're just too kind :)
[Nexus 7 General] phil-t:
LOL, whilst I'm happily waiting for delivery some time,

I have two pre-orders, Google Store June 27th 7:30PM and Currys on June 29th..

My Google pre-order has no e-mail yet (as most people have found), I was told last week by a friendly CS rep that e-mails would be sent tues/weds for thu/fri delivery which is all holding true.. but from the 5 people in my office who ordered only last week, all have had shipping e-mails from google, and funnily in reverse chronological order.. could be amazing circumstance, but clearly for the same location, they are processing them backwards!

And Currys pre-orders where put on hold until 18th/19th to be delivered for midweek next week (according to their CS), but a mate in work just ordered this morning from Currys and has already had his order processing and delivery set for tomorrow.. so again, pre-orders are 'held' up , new orders are sailing through.. I don't remember seeing £3.99 for next day delivery for pre-orders, it just went through with 3-5 day free delivery

I struggle to now know when the hell you are better off pre-ordering or not if you actually want one 'first'..
[Nexus 7 General] dark magshin:
I'm in the same boat. 16GB Jul 3 order, no accessories, and still no word from Google. Not even an update on Wallet. At least in eleven weeks I can get a Raspberry Pi board to play with while I continue to wait for my Nexus 7 . :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Same here 16GB on 3rd. Don't mind people ordering before me getting it before me but it sucks that people ordering after me are getting it sooner
[Nexus 7 General] Zico 10:
I'd hate to receive it on Friday since I won't have time to play with it, being preoccupied with all the rooting and flashing :D
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
My Nexus7, 8gb, ordered on the 28th (Australia time) is now in Australia, having an overnight rest at the local Fedex depot, and tomorrow morning it will travel to my place.... while I will be at work...
[Nexus 7 General] sjruk:
Ordered 16GB on 5th July still nothing.

Just bought one from PC World and paid £3.99 for delivery tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] mipper100:
Anger Growing

Im only bothered as im going to Holiday next week, 8gb ordered on the 28th , no shipping details or confirmation of the charge on my account, what the hell are they doing, its pathetic now, dispatch the units in order google.... Seriously
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Did you pay for next day air, if so when did you order? Mine shows 2nd day air, but it shipped yesterday and is being delievered today so thats as next day as it gets without a before 10am gurantee.
[Nexus 7 General] rcolddroid:
no rhyme or reason to when people are getting their's. original order on 27 Jun then cancelled to update to a 16 Gb on 28 Jun plus 8 Gb and a case. no action after pre authorization removed from credit card. so who is at fault? Goggle or UPS or both. is it a server problem with loss data or was paper sent and loss. seems to be plenty of stock as Goggle now offering one to two week delivery. Play Store help claims all pre orders not fulfilled shipping today! The question is should I hold my breathe, lol?
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Sorry we were talking about Currys, which is a major electrical retailer in the UK. I think if the Play Store started offering next day delivery to new people ordering I think there would be a riot :D
[Nexus 7 General] Smokuevo:
Same here. 2nd day air.. shipped yesterday delivery by end of the day today.
[Nexus 7 General] maverpix:
Cheers for the info,what part of the UK would this be? Very frustrating if they are processing them backwards :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
Just had a colleague confirm he had his shipping confirmation from TNT

He ordered an 8GB model?? He ordered the same date as me 27th June, so it looks like the 8GB models are shipping first? Why?
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
And yall are in the US?!?! Thats ridiculous, i cant believe they are so blatantly terrible at this, my order from the 10th is being delivered today as i said, i would refuse it if i was confident it would help others get it faster, i wish i could refuse it with the stipulation it be instantly shipped to someone in yalls circumstances. My thirst has been quenched by getting one in gamestop last friday, its a awesome tablet, unfortunately for me i got so worked up and anxious literally nothing could live up to the expectation from days of staring at a thread waiting so im happy to just zone-out and be a little more natural in my use of it for now.
[Nexus 7 General] twobikes:
Ordered 30th June

From: Play Store USA

UPS Shipped :Louisville, KY, United States 7/16 3:51pm

Landed : LA CA 7/16 4:51pm

Depart LAX : 7/16 7:03pm

Arrive : Gardena, CA, United States 7/16 7:33pm

Out for delivery : 7/17 1:57am

So it is out for delivery at 2am in the middle of the night?
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Currys/PC World

I hope you get your order tomorrow because when I was talking to them earlier there seemed to be some ambiguity as to whether there would be any stock left after pre-orders had been fulfilled (or even if there was enough stock to fulfill the existing pre-orders) therefore anyone ordering today would have to wait for the next batch to come in.

Let us know if you actually receive your order.
[Nexus 7 General] ande_uk:
same here mate.

is that darn south?

sounds like google is being prejudice against us northerners...
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
could the simple reason be either/both of :

1) 8 gb is less popular

2) less 16gb have been manufactured

part of the reasoning behind ordering a 16gb was that I assumed the 8gb would be more popular (price) ... sounds like it is workign the other way around? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
Sure is, central London - no sign of mine though :sadpanda:
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
It seems that way, even though we all had the funds taken at the same time. Very strange.

I assume by the fact that nobody has received their 16 around the UK that they will be shipped tonight, to be delivered tomorrow.

If not then why should I pay the same shipping as someone who got it next day?
[Nexus 7 General] BazGibb:
I've followed this for hundreds of pages, sat back and wondered why folk where getting themselves more and more chewed up about their Nexus 7 order. I ordered mine on the 4th from the Play Store - I'm based in the UK by the way. I sold my Kindle and my Blackberry Playbook (totally underated tablet by the way) to fund my Nexus purchase.

As time has gone on however it is more and more evident that the delivery is a shambles and the lack of communication from Google is terrible - the final straw was when Pcworld (the one in the UK) has now got them available for delivery, so I've taken the plunge, ordered one and paid to have it delivered tomorrow morning before 12pm. The total price is £209.98 - about a £1 more than the one ordered from Google. When that comes that will be getting put on Ebay.

The reason why I can't wait for it is because of something which I don't think anyone has touched upon so far. It's not because it is essential to my job - it's something a lot more important than that.

I was sat on the toilet and reached across for some reading material (which as we all know is a blokes God given RIGHT) and realised that I had NOTHING to read or do. No Kindle. No Playbook. NOTHING. And that isn't right. Next time I was shopping I bought an Android Magazine in preperation but when the time came it didn't feel right, it felt so 2000's and to be honest I couldn't stand it anymore, hence the PCWorld purchase.

Google employees won't be bothered about that though, I'm sure they are well and truly entertained in their Google HQ bogs but to us men who are mere mortals, having some quality me time in the lav is the only time we ever get to relax.

Google, if your reading this PLEASE pull your finger out and sort out this mess. Men AND Women around the world are asking for your help. Don't punish them any longer.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc42:
Oxford here and heard nothing. 16GB though. If I don't hear anything today I'll start getting annoyed. I've done quite well so far.

[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
Bobbins init!

It's odd, I'm not sure if Google intended for a co-ordinated launch - if they did I'm sure their launch co-ordinator has since been dispatched!
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
This is insane. One, the sheer number of responses to this thread since I left work on Friday at 5 p.m. Friday at 5 p.m. there were 783 pages, now there is damn near 1400. Second is that I ordered my tablet on the 10th, and it is getting delivered to my work today, probably this morning when UPS makes their stop. I'm not going to complain about that fact, but I do agree with basically everyone that said the entire process has been jacked. I have always tried to remain neutral and not take sides, but seriously WTF Google. This entire thing has left a sour taste in peoples mouths, and without reading through the last 500 pages, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people that will never be purchasing anything from the Play Store again. :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
You sir, win the thread! :-D
[Nexus 7 General] zapher67:
Mine has been shipped!!!

Looks like they are processing Australian orders in reverse date order. People who ordered on 10 July received theirs today.

Order date: 28-Jun-2012 6:44 AM EST

From: Google Play Store

Model: 16GB

Location: Sydney, Australia

Shipping Notice: received 17 July 7.42pm

No details on fedex site yet so guessing a Friday delivery. Can't wait
[Nexus 7 General] Juggernaut79:
Nice first post :good: Welcome!

Lol ... Me too ... Oh anticipation of it arriving . Thought i would catch up this morning as nothin going on in my Google wallet, I see little movement still for us UK peeps eh, did i read earlier someone in the UK actually got a delivery email??

Wow :eek: whats one of those !!! Been that long since hearing anything, ordered 27th - card charged but thats it!
[Nexus 7 General] mungo100:
This has probably been asked before, but why am I paying $A29 GST (goods and services tax) on my N7 when it only applies to imported orders into Australia on orders with a total value of over $A1000. BTW my Nexus 7 is coming from YUEN LONG HK.:(
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Yes.

I specifically ordered an 8 GB on the theory it might ship faster. I'll get a later revision 16 GB if needed anyway.

The first several pages of this thread showed that most people here were going for 16 GB.
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
Epic pmsl .... :D:D
[Nexus 7 General] jdyowa:
I called last night, sat on hold for 34 minutes and the girl told me it should ship either today (17th) or tomorrow. She said she hasn't received hers yet. She also told me there will probably be legal action to the stores who sold early(everyone, it seems). Google has created quite the buzz
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Order is going through an Australian company, I forget which. Here it goes through Google Canada I think.

----------------------------------

Canada: Gatineau, Quebec.

Ordered 8 GB only at 5:32 PM EDT June 27:

Got my email from Google at 9:10 PM EDT.
[Nexus 7 General] emptybee:
Not sure if this has already been posted but found on Google Play Store Help Centre:

"We're now shipping Nexus 7 preorders. All US and Australia preorders are scheduled to ship by July 17th. UK and Canada preorders have also begun shipping in waves."

I hate waves. Also didn't they originally say credit cards would be charged when the device ships. My card is £208.99 down as of yesterday, that should mean that with 2 day shipping I will get my nexus tomorrow. Bahahaha! As if...
[Nexus 7 General] sammylt:

[Nexus 7 General] fatsamurai:
My girlfriend rang me to say that she just missed a delivery from TNT for me. I have not received any shipping confirmation from Google, nor any update to my Play Wallet order. UK order.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
That's the lie^H^H^H fictional story CSRs have been instructed to tell. It engenders empathy and turns "customer versus vendor" into "you and I against vendor".

It's a documented "customer management" practice. (And they used to call it "customer service" instead of mgmt.)

Others have reported this. I hope reporters pick up on it.

That also sounds like "creative messing with the callers' head" talk.

Since when do CSRs representing $188 billion dollar companies have the authority to announce impending legal action. And I'm not convinced Google will do anything except send them to their rooms for 5 minutes to think about what they've done.

ROFL.
[Nexus 7 General] Makaijin:
Epic post. +1 :good:

I totally agree with you, as myself have always been in the habit of taking my phone with me when I go to the loo. The 7 inch form factor makes a perfect "toilet" tablet. My N7 will be perfect for this, since it won't be leaving the house anyway.

I saw the option but intentionally did not check it because I thought it would be one more step in the shipping/handling process.... I didn't want to delay it by another 5 minutes.

I got in on the J&R $15 July 4 coupon plus I get 5% cashback from Discover, so I tried cancelling my earlier preorder but Google said, "Nay!"

They'd better ship this week then... Although I guess I'll bet I could sell it pretty easy. (As if I could resist opening a Google box in front of me.)

EDIT: Wow, the new 2013 xda theme popped in for me. No thank you! Man is that just... busy.

Not a question of not liking it, I was just surprised by it. I don't pay much attention to the administrivia of the site. My one issue is that I tend to keep my browser in a small window so that it's not so obvious that I'm surfing at work, and I had to re-size my window to fit the forum now.

OK, just thought I'd chip in - ordered on the 27th in Manchester UK, the only thing I have seen so far is that my order is now at the top of the Play store listing. No charge on my card, no notification, nothing.

I know it's only a tablet, but jeeesh Google, this really isn't that hard - sort by date oldest to newest, and ship in that order. Maybe you need more practical smartz in your business.

Oh, and btw - Toilet Tablet - excellent :laugh:

[Nexus 7 General] cell128:
I'm sorry to hear all you people having problems with your shipping. I had the opposite. I ordered mine in the 28th but canceled the next day because of lack of SD card. On Friday I got charged again for the tablet and I received an email that my order has shipped and I been tracking it I'm receiving it today. I can't believe they sent it even though I said to cancel it. Now that I read that you can do otg and stickmount though I most likely will keep it
