Anyone from Australia has either a credit card charge, or shipping information yet? Seems like we are going to be treated as the butt end of the world yet again.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I have had packages show up with only label created and delivered scans.
[Nexus 7 General] Number R09:
packagetracker, shiprack, and any other shipping app all report content from the respected provider. they do not come up with their own data. packagetracker only relays what UPS shows.
[Nexus 7 General] dmckilla77:
My ups tells me my scedualed delivery date is the 12th haha. Its safe to say we will probably get them on Wednesday. It's 8am here(east coast US) and ups comes to my house around 10am so I will be watching my door and this forum and let everyone know but I'm pretty sure they were just leaving their hubs today.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Probably the special surprise Google is rumored to be sending to say "sorry for whatever you think we did wrong, thank you, please come again".

Like an Android keychain and/or coupons for mostly useless Play Store content.
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
I was thinking why the packages are heavier. Perhaps they've give us first dibs on a Project Glass pre order and put the block in the box. Just a though!

Sent from HTC One X, soon on my Nexus 7 ^-^
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
That's how mine looks; I would assume it means that the package is not actually being tracked yet and you, like me, have just had a label printed at this point. Since they don't actually know where the package is they just dropped the icon in the delivery location. Hopefully it will get updated throughout the day; I'm thinking Tuesday/Wednesday before it gets to us.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Pfff my tracking never updates when ups ships and I usually order stuff on Friday so today should be the day
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
The only odd bit I see is that I got my shipping email at around 1am on Friday - it's had plenty of time to move past "label created" during that span of time - which it hasn't.

It really makes me wonder if UPS is just being slow updating or something.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
MANY people are reporting bogus delivery dates of last week.

Apparently it's just a normal quirk of the UPS system or some such.

If not, maybe it indicates they originally expected to ship last week.

The "2 day" delivery thing seems like a sham if they can decide at the last moment what day the "official shipping" allegedly started.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Ups doesn't deliver out here until mid afternoon to evening, sometimes all the way to 9 PM at Christmas time. FedEx always delivers in the morning to early afternoon, and the USPS comes in the afternoon.
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Wow. I have had had hundreds of packages and I have always at least got the out for delivery from the ones I looked at. Most were amazon prime second day, too.

Not going to work from home without an out for delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
Mine got updated this morning. Showing a delivery date for tomorrow. Funny, it says it was ready for pickup at 6AM on Friday. I would imagine they got it that day... maybe it hasn't updated fully.
[Nexus 7 General] jsgiv:
It's a special code.. "Get In the F*CKING Truck"... :)
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I never use UPS so my experience with them is lacking; with FedEx I am always confident that the tracking info is correct and up-to-date so this is a new paradigm for me. I would love to think that it's coming today but I didn't put up any of my usual delivery notes on my gate (I live on acreage and getting to my house from the gate is a PITA) so I will be a tad irritated if no one is home when they try to drop it off and I never hear about it.
[Nexus 7 General] freesoul27:
No further information :(
[Nexus 7 General] dmckilla77:
Hmm. Yeah I would really like to know what the hold up was but not every realease can be smooth ya know. I'm sure a few of us will get lucky and live near a ups hub. Theirs a good chance mine could come straight home as I live 5 minutes from a major ups hub.
[Nexus 7 General] dadoc04:
thats good news for us with tab + case orders.... hopefully i see some activity as well.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Ppl I'm only going to say this one more time....

A lot of times they don't update tracking throught the weekends/mass orders...

I'm sure we will see them today/tomorrow..

I've had packages shipped by ups be delivered before tracking even updated ..this happens
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
I think Google would do itself a favor if they gave away free Nexus Q's to the rabid Android fans who pre-ordered N7.

Have you seen the barren wasteland that is the NQ sections ? Their pre-order thread has 22 posts. ROFL and slapping the ground.

Then placate the 100 people who bought an NQ with a free N7.

Synergy / Symbiosis.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Me too.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Mine says it was ready for pickup at 6am on the eleventh, so they're way late. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
So, 4 hours left of the working day here in the UK.. are we all still waiting shipping confirmations/ card charges?
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Foolish accessory orderer, 27th 11am 16gb w/ case and ac adapter.

Still no 2nd charge.
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
UK - 16gb, ordered on the 27th.

Expected delivery: not a bloody clue.
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
right it's gone 1pm, as I said earlier, mass hysteria can now commence for UK buyers as we have heard bugger all yet, who's going first??? :D
[Nexus 7 General] trbloomer:
Joe Blow from UPS just called me at my office (weird they should only have my home)

"Hello Mr. B"

"Yea"

"I'm Joe Blow from UPS"

"Oh"

"Yes, I'm calling because we understand how emotional you must be over your ahhh just a moment (sound of rustling papers)

first tablet from Google. Thin, light, and designed for Google Play."

"um OK"

"Anyway as I said we know how emotional you must be feeling and want to make it up to you"

"Really"

"Oh yes

"Honestly the only thing bothering me is the weather"

"No, no we here at Big Brown, want to see our customers treated as well as we treat their packages, it turns out that your thingy was left in a locker last week when the workers went out for Ham sandwiches. We feel terrible it was supposed to get to you no later than Friday. So to make it up to you we've snatched a couple of others from another shipment so we'll be delivering you three thingys instead of just the one you ordered.

"Huh WTF?" (I actually spoke the three words)

"Yes, don't worry we'll just report those other thingys as never having been handed off to us. So you, me and just as importantly Big Brown, will all come out right as rain.?

"Ahm when will they be delivered?" (Hears sound of phone being hung up)

So as you can see I too had a label from the 11th was supposed to get it the 13th but it was no conspiracy it was just some guys were hungry for lunch.
[Nexus 7 General] EVIL JIMMY:
Yep, but I've given up hoping for anything today. I'm hoping for an email by Wednesday, going on holiday Saturday, and want my Nexus!
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Wow, you guys get off early ;-)
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
I wouldn't normally pay £10 for next day delivery, let alone 2 day delivery when I could have cancelled it last week if it wasn't for Google... Someone needs to pull their finger out!
[Nexus 7 General] chris100575:
UK: Ordered on the 28th, still nothing.

Order on Google Play is still sitting down in my list and dated 28th.
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:

My tracking number was just updated that a label was created/shipped on 7/11/2012 2nd day air. Pre ordered from playstore.
[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:

[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:

But in all seriousness (is that even a word?!?!) what are they doing at G HO in Dublin, just process the things for g*d sake!!! :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] biggiestuff:
Same thing here. I have no idea if that sucker is still in the warehouse or what. So many opportunities to have picked up one locally but because we couldn't cancel orders, I had to just sit and wait on this one. :(. NOW I'm getting antzy!
[Nexus 7 General] UnknownFearNG:
Well, Monday morning. Ordered 7/12, no CC charge, no updates on Wallet, no email. Hopefully tracking number email comes in today :)
[Nexus 7 General] EVIL JIMMY:
Reading this thread, and laughing at us all! ;)

[Nexus 7 General] chris100575:
They're probably reading this thread and sniggering. Gits.
[Nexus 7 General] greatgoogly:
another day, no credit card activity, no wallet activity, and no email from Google. Granted I ordered on the 7th, but something is telling me nobody is getting their N7's today, probably not tomorrow either, and I probably won't see mine until well into next week (if then). In the meantime I've found some footage from Google HQ regarding the launch of the N7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13qeX98tAS8
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
Mine got updated this morning to "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated." AKA SUCKER!!!!!!!! looks like Wednesday at the EARLIEST here.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
I'll make do with some evidence that Google's UK shipping dept bothered to turn up for work at all.
[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
I'm with you there!
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
You know, despite my frustrations with some of the issues that I believe Google created during this process (yes yes, I understand the 2-3 weeks blah blah blah get bent) by being silent about what was going on with shipping vs retail etc, I am glad that I'm getting my order from the Play Store still. I like Google and I'd like to see them continue to eat away at Apple's market share and force them to start truly innovating again. They've gotten lazy and the constant litigation is a testament to that fact. I don't hate Apple, but I personally am done with them and am willing to suck a little egg to help give Google a leg up. Maybe that's crazy and I don't deny it's a little dumb but I don't care. I don't want to live in a world where technological innovation is constantly being choked in the courts.
[Nexus 7 General] glowworm62:
nah, that would be Canada Mate. We had at least 5 people post their fedex screens today, Canada are getting even less than us.

So far I've no no communication from Google at all.

Has anyone tried ringing these bollock jugglers from the UK? I get a message telling me to replace the area code with 4366 but it doesn't work ;\

[Nexus 7 General] baggy247:
Just to let you guys know there's a Reddit thread for UK orders here:

[Nexus 7 General] bisto321:
If your office looked like this would you do much work?
[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:
Worcester in the West Midlands, or in Massachusetts?

If the latter, did you order with a case or other accessories?
[Nexus 7 General] Exino:
Looks like in Canada, Best Buy, Future Shop and Staples have sold out of their first orders and pre-orders, ans there is no longer a pre-order state and ships immediately. Second wave hits stores/online on Tuesday, July 17th for Staples. Spoke to a Staples rep in-store on Saturday and he said if I wanted one to come back on Tuesday morning.

I pre-ordered on June 29th from the Google Play store and there hasn't been an inch of movement. Sort of frustrating to see I can just go to the store and buy it. I am not too bothered, though (as long as they ship it THIS week).
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Amen, brother!
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:
losing my mind

No news still, hoping I'd receive something today. I actually had a dream that I got the email saying it had been dispatched. You know things are bad when you're dreaming about an email but not the actual device. :eek:

Sent from a guy losing his mind from the UK (ordered from GooglePlay)
[Nexus 7 General] lawguy:
My UPS shipping label was generated on July 12, four days ago. I still cannot track this package with the tracking number. If this was anyone but Google, I would be concerned. Why has my Nexus 7 not yet reached UPS? This is getting ridiculous.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
I have a charge and tracking number. It has left Google and it is with Fedex in Sin customs. I am expecting to be on a plane tomorrow and delivered on wednesday

ordered the 8gb on day one, 28th morning in Aus
[Nexus 7 General] Entwane:
Just got charged on my credit card, oredered on 7/5 in canada. Hoping for a tracking number soon...
[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:
It may have. UPS is notoriously slow about updating status until they actually deliver the package to your door. Sometimes it's delivered before they even tell you they have it. Rather like a doctor telling you you're pregnant when you're getting cleaned up postpartum...
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Wow, it must have been a bad Nexus :-D Yeah, I know you meant Singapore, but I'm punchy and it's very early here lol
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
In store on Tuesday ? F Google if I can get one within 15 minutes drive. It's not like there are lineups at places that have them. N7 seems stealth in the "normal" world, unlike iDevices.

The only people getting anything other than fictitious virtual shipping labels are stores and those who order from stores.
[Nexus 7 General] rabhw:
This thread hurts to read as a Canadian :(

No card charge, no emails, no confirmations, no movement of the order on the Play Store "orders" page. Nothing.
[Nexus 7 General] Seb Spiers:

[Nexus 7 General] shamowfski:

[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Well good morning to everyone that got non working UPS information on Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
I think this is just google actually being honest with you, while they make labels to screw with the US people and then not ship.
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
This has not been my experience. That sounds just like USPS, but not ups
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Which Canadian banks or credit cards report real time CC charges ?

My RBC Visa Online banking info is always 3+ days delayed.
[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:
I hope you haven't read through every page of this incredibly useless discussion thread, but it appears nobody in the UK has heard anything directly yet, although indications are your orders will be shipped tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] lawguy:
In my experience UPS shipping info has been close to real-time. They scan it, it is then shown in tracking.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
USPS is usually good about being up to date for me.
[Nexus 7 General] rabhw:
I know TD is the same as RBC, at least 3+ days before you see a charge on your card. It's pretty absurd how ****ty the Canadian banking system is.
[Nexus 7 General] tdrussell:
Agreed. I can't think of a single instance where my UPS tracking information has not updated appropriately. :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] Seb Spiers:
I managed to find UK number rather than the Irish one which wouldn't work for me: 0800 328 6081.

[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Huge cargo planes filled to the roof with Nexus 7's no doubt, LOL.

I think Google is trying to do like an Apple launch, but without the stores. Try to get as many first wavers delivered within a day or 2 of each other.

On delivery dates or anything, best policy is IMO always: under-promise and over-deliver.

[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:
My experience with UPS has been, ahem, inconsistent. However, I have known them to be good about updating when the package has actually been delivered. But I would expect any inefficiencies they have to be amplified if they need to pick up at least tens of thousands of packages in short order and get them on their way, and it wouldn't surprise me if they cut some corners...

Yes. But.

I was thrilled to see Canada was one of the few countries for first availability. Too many things are still done US only.

Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised to see us get the short end of the stick for earliest shipments.

And I can't imagine how long warranty replacements might take.

[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
Mine says it is being delivered today.
[Nexus 7 General] lawguy:
UPS are pros so I doubt they are the problem. They ship millions of packages and would not blink at this.

Google is a novice at this. My guess is that Google generated all of these tracking labels at pretty much the same time. They are still sitting somewhere and have not been released to UPS. UPS can't ship a package until it has been scanned. That is the way its system works.

So . . . I don't think that Google has actually shipped anything yet, at least to me.
[Nexus 7 General] UnknownFearNG:
Had this same exact dream last night!!! I woke up to my phone beeping (no idea how it got in my hands) and it was an email from Google with my tracking number and everything!!! Actually woke up, checked my phone and it beeped!!! But the email was only YouTube :(

[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
It could mean UPS'S system isn't up to date too.
[Nexus 7 General] Balthazar B:
Something has been puzzling me about the logistics behind this. There have been several mentions about the packages being sent to regional/local distribution points prior to final delivery. Now I don't know enough about the inner workings of UPS, or standard procedure with mass shipments in general, but I'm quite certain Google does not maintain warehouses around the country. Could it be that there has been a middleman handling the packages after they arrived in the US, and then handing off to UPS?

Interestingly, on Packagetrackr, my Nexus shows up as being very close to me -- even though UPS is not showing it in their system yet -- and I know Google has no presence near my location.
[Nexus 7 General] Warbs816:
Not sure whether that makes me feel relieved or not.
