Ordered mine from Macmall.com. They are now stating that it ships Tuesday July 17th.

Not going to get it as fast as some people, but total price for 16GB was only $241.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
Your problems are due to the fact that you are post #6666 on Friday the 13th. Just saying.
[Nexus 7 General] mattalter:
Yes. Just was at my local OD. Still they won't let them go
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Well everyone is praising Apple and how coordinated their launches are, but I bet a retailer jumping the gun would be a major lawyer smash from them. However I think a big part of this is that Google, for some "it better be good" reason, pushed the street date back at the last minute.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
To be fair, this a a Google branded tablet, so if I order from Google I think I should expect a little better experience.
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Dude WTF. I wake up not only do I not have any more information about my product but gs is now selling. This sucks
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
I think this has to be the worst product launch ever so uncoordinated, US customers are getting them, UK customers are getting some if they ordered them with Ebuyer. Yet no matter what country you are in the OFFICIAL GOOGLE PLAY STORE has no info on the date that we will get them :(
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
my guess is google had trouble justifying having the pre-orders who have already paid being placed on hold, and said to release those and only those. Unfortunately my card still has not been charged, so i'm guessing the earliest I get mine is Tuesday, since it will not be charged until it's been shipped and it's 2 day shipping. Unless something happens in the next couple hours, I suppose then I could be getting it Monday. Hopefully it's by Tuesday, but I'm guessing Wednesday is more realistic, Saturday/Monday Charge 2 day shipping Tuesday / Wednesday...
[Nexus 7 General] panman86:
All you GameStop people can thank me now. :)
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Let's start a rumor... Google will be refunding shipping and giving out a free case to all Google Play pre-orders... :D

Two hours later... Hey, why is my g-mail account disabled??? :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
Has Google ever launched any products with so many resellers before? Just wondering...
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
My point exactly, Google told me its illegal to sell any pre-order items that don't have a release date yet, (N7 doesnt have one, so shouldnt be sold) and that they are aware of such companies and consequences are in motion.

Don't shoot the messenger, just what they told me. :-)
[Nexus 7 General] ohaaron:
Do you live in the US? They told me that I couldn't cancel. I now have an order with Office Depot for a 16GB version. Google told me I would have to reject the 8GB shipment. :/ I would much rather just cancel.
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
I called my local game stop here in Northern VA, and they are in fact selling the nexus 7 now... only to people who pre-ordered. Wow screw you Google thanks for charging me shipping for nothing.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
That's not true they have info...apparently bad info that they have shipped already, shipping today, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] utstudent:
At this point Google can kiss my ...
[Nexus 7 General] youareme7:
Well my local gamestop opens in a few minutes. I think I'll give them a call and see if they have any not reserved and if so I'll pick one up there.
[Nexus 7 General] mewantnexus7:
Google isn't going to do jack. The reason is that everybody in this thread is fairly committed to android and they'll buy the next Nexus device anyway. On the other hand, the people who are "swing" users aren't on XDA and are just expecting the mid-July release date because they don't read all the speculation. So why would they spend money to make us happy if we (the only people they've pissed off) are just going to come back anyway?
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:

Hey at least you US and UK guys are getting somewhere, not even sure if there's a single (non IO) Nexus 7 down here in Australia yet :(
[Nexus 7 General] shawndaggett:
As a pizza delivery guy... it's not a good idea to stiff the guy who's gotta put up with traffic, try and find your address, hoping there are actually house numbers on your house and not painted the same color as the rest of the house or covered by whatever trash or plant growth has built up over years of neglect, then have to stand at your front door, hoping you hear the banging, and then having to wait patiently while you either kick the dogs back, or go to try and find money or count pennies to pay with because it was a big surprise that someone showed up at your door with food that you ordered... after all we are the last people to handle your food and we are all alone with it in our cars... sometimes, somethings are just better when you go and pick them up for yourself at the store.

[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
They told me on Wednesday that the nexus 7 was shipping that night.. I don't believe Google anymore and I doubt its shipping today
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
No worries here, they don't deliver pizza out where I live :D
[Nexus 7 General] r_3:
I called my local gamestop and they said that they are not authorized to sell any in the store until 8/7
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Gamestop makes up dates when they don't have anything set in stone, give them a few more hours and they'll be selling them like everyone else. As long as, you know, you're in the US and Pre-ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
last time i ordered with newegg i selected overnight (was working on a project and my computer died) and i didn't get my order until TUESDAY. i was furious. i ordered it friday morning. i called newegg and they refunded me the shipping (even though the site said no saturday deliveries, which somehow i missed) and gave me a 20% off voucher for next time.

i never ordered from them again (not because of that) but still. curious what google will do since this is 2day shipping and definitely not going to be saturday delivery. i'm not saying that i'm owed anything (i certainly wasn't owed anything with newegg) but a big company like google who seemingly wants to impress people might do something because of this goof up.
[Nexus 7 General] mewantnexus7:
Apparently yes, at least before "Mid-July", which is eventually.
[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
Read again dude. No one is asking for the B&M stores to halt their sales. I find that no more acceptable on Google's part than their blatant inabiltiy to ship direct preorders out on a timely and informative basis.

Regardless, my wife just picked up two N7's from Sam's Club for $245 a pop. I suggest other gplay preorders do the same and refuse your play store delivery...whenever it is they actually arrive.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Okay so JR.com says they don't have the any Nexus 7s in stock, and they don't even have a date that they expect to get stock. So those of US that Preordered from them are more then likely screwed and probably won't get them for at least another month. LOL. The did give me the standard 1-2 weeks for backordered stock but that is a candid responce and since they have no information about when it will be in stock I doubt it will be any timesoon
[Nexus 7 General] pokey9000:
Exactly. There will be *****ing but once we have our new shiny all will be forgiven. Show of hands: who here was caught up in the Transformer availability wars of 2011 and still pre ordered the N7?

I was a delivery driver for a bit and you describe to the last detail. So frustrating when they give you an address and the house is in the middle of nowhere with an unmarked driveway at night and you have to drive through the dang woods and they give you a fake phone number.

I considered that free pizza for me.

Newegg gets *****y with refunds to me, even when it's within their requirements, I'm not their biggest fan.

Only to Business addresses.
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
In retrospect it should have been pretty damn obvious. Gamestop does fulfillment, Google does search. Who are you going to order from next time?

FWIW, I ordered from the Google because at the time I thought that was the only way.
[Nexus 7 General] djbubis:
So lets see, you have Gamestop, Adorama, Ebuyer what other vendors have shipped/received stock?
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Our local Gamestop (Ukiah, California) opens at 9 AM, I think I'll give them a buzz and see if they have any in. This is a rural area, so I'm not expecting much, but ya never know.
[Nexus 7 General] utstudent:
Perhaps If we all call google and threaten to cancel or refuse delivery maybe we can get something out of them lol
[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
Lol, of course not. I was just so excited to get this. I took back my birthday present (Kindle Fire) a couple weeks ago. I took that back only because I wanted a better piece of hardware. I was really getting attached to the little thing. I only pre-ordered from Google because they were the source. I wanted to make sure I got one. I don't have any doubt I will get one, but it sucks that I pre-ordered as soon as the link went live on the 27th.
[Nexus 7 General] chosen14u:
I called Google again, I told them that people have been receiving theirs and was curious to when I might receive mine, Anthony (good rep) said that their plan was to ship all preorders at once but UPS is at capacity, and can't handle the load. I preorder on the 6th of July he said he can't give me a definitive time but should ship next week.
[Nexus 7 General] chlehqls:
I honestly hope it doesn't cost me a month to get this tablet. That would be wrong on so many levels.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
for all we know, they could've had it all saran wrapped on a palette sitting in a warehouse waiting to be picked up by UPS, trying to coordinate a release date with all the BM vendors.

it would be a nightmare for them to dig through a scenario like that to pluck out a few packages.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
i thought it was only going to be available thru the play store at first. that's why i ordered it on the 27th. otherwise i would've just gotten it locally.
[Nexus 7 General] mewantnexus7:
:D My Apt's leasing office is a business address (I know this because I couldn't sign up for UPS MyChoice). But I ordered Jul 7th so I'm not expecting it anyways.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I don't think so, and even if it does they don't deliver on Saturday's in all areas, mine being one. However, FedEx and USPS do deliver out here on Saturdays.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Man this ia total bs!!! My local gamestop has them ready to sell!!WTH!!! I predored 2 weeks and and nothing from Google. This is total crap. How do they send off to retailers and not pre orders. C Mon man
[Nexus 7 General] Rugged96:
Standing by the front door of gamestop.
[Nexus 7 General] grukko:
There are a combined total of six gamestops within two miles of where i live and work. To think I could've just waltzed in any of them and preordered and be using my Nexus 7 now instead of wondering when the heck google is even going to ship out my nexus is infuriating.

btw, i called three of them. they only have enough to satisfy the preorders.

I figured this is whats happening. Too many tablets, not enough people and trucks to deliver them.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Utter total BULL****!

You really believe that crap? UPS ships millions of packages per day. How many per day do you think comapines like newegg and amazon ship per day?

UPS would send a giant ass truck maybe even a few to pick up the stuff.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Understood, but their inability to implement reliable logistics is not really a top concern for me. ;)

[Nexus 7 General] ande_uk:
so what's the excuse for UK orders from play store? surly the UK distributor (TNT) can't be at capacity too..
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Apple has experience in this, Google? Not so much.
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
Then they should have given the release to start shipping those units out before UPS hit "capacity".

[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
honestly, this whole thing could be worse.

when the ps3 launched me and a few friends camped out overnight to snag them. my friends were going to flip on ebay and i wanted one to own. anyway, i was 4th or 5th in line and the manager came out and was like 'which one did you want, 32 or 16' (i forget the actual sizes, idc) and i said i didn't care 'cause i just wanted one. she was like 'well which one would you prefer?' so i chose the bigger one. she gave me a ticket and continued down the line. then she called me and some other people over to say that they didn't have enough for us.

i was pissed because the smaller ones (4) went to people behind me and i was stuck with nothing and wasted all that time. the ultimate irony is that every person that got one went home and listed it on ebay. at least the people that weren't my friends said they were doing that.
[Nexus 7 General] slvdc1:

B&H Delivery (Expected availability: September 01 2012)
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
I somewhat agree with you. My only concern is if someone pre-ordered it earlier, he should've get his device earlier, not the retailers. I have no complain towards the retailers. If they got their shipment early, they can sell them whenever they want. That's how the thing should be. What they should've done is to open the pre-order window for 2-3 days, ship them after that period. And may be a week or so after, ship the devices to retailers.

But Google never state their shipping / distribution plan clearly. They made a big mess there. And everything leaked now, what's the point of holding the release in the retail stores? It's making them look like an idiot. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable from a company like Google.

Another thing is that, when I ordered from PS (7/12) it was saying ships in '2-3 weeks', and now it's saying 'ships in 1-2 weeks'. It might sound lame but theoretically it looks like if anyone ordered in the past few days would get their device earlier than mine. :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
Petition Google on Shipping Charges.

There should be a petition for Google to waive our shipping costs... its the LEAST they can do. So far what I've learned is don't preorder anything from the playstore

It's not a lie. UPS can handle HUGE volumes of shipments on a reliable basis. Amazon uses them for all their shipments. Think about Amazon's Christmas season...
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Hey at least you get a date JR.com doesn't know Bull
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
To clear things up 1. What you get from order through Google is good support they have over 150 reps that know this device perfectly.

Anyone that didn't order through them doesn't get their support.

2. Gamestop is violating their agreement with Google and Google will come down hard on them.

3. Our track info should come today latest Monday for anyone on or before July 1st every ups truck and plane has been jam packed.

They are trying to shoot for Monday latest Tuesday this is all from a Google rep that basically said **** it I'll clear up the confusion.
[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
I think the only reason that the stores have gotten is because they are sent on a pallet, all shrinkwrapped versus individually shipped. Seems stupid, but that's what I see as the differences between the two. They all come from the same source.
[Nexus 7 General] mjm2950:
I seriously doubt UPS would say they are at capacity. Google knew how many where ordeded and when they needed to be shipped. There is only one vendor for this product and it is Google. I ordered mine on the first day from Play, the only place you could order from that day. Rather lame google can ship to third party and allow release before filling their own orders. I will take my N7 and the $25 gift card, spend it in Play and then try to buy everything else from Amazon store. Thanks Google for taking care of your customer.
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
I hope you're being sarcastic. To say UPS is having trouble with just a few tablets being delivered across America is an insult to them. Have you ever used amazon? And yes I say "few" because that is what it is to a company like UPS. They deliver MILLIONS and MILLIONS (surprising to you, yes?) of packages a day and the nexus 7 is nothing added to their daily routine. Might be a bit unexpected for them to go "Wow google, never thought you'd have such a big order", but is it something they can't handle? Absolutely not.
[Nexus 7 General] ohaaron:
Are there any repercussions from this or do they just not send it to you? Also, will this keep me from being able to purchase Play Store content?
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
I think that is all you have to do. Has no one else thought of trying this? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
Point taken my friend..point taken...and ditto on that last thought.
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
Google will come down hard on them? are you kidding me. They need gamestop to sell the device in physical stores and to allow people to play with a demo there. They won't do jack

doesn't get their support? what so you can spend 30 minutes on hold? and then just have them pass you on to Asus? riight

Google should waive our shipping charges
[Nexus 7 General] mjm2950:
Wow, did your N7 come with and Audi?
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
Exactly the same boat but loads of people got on my ass saying I was a spoiled brat and I feel entitled. Google knew this was going to happen and that's why they won't allow cancellations. No one is going to convince me that I didn't get ripped off paying shipping on a 300 dollar transaction. Doesn't really make me a spoiled person... I work hard for what I make and I am giving google money for a tablet to give Android a chance. I am also rebuying apps that I already have for iOS because I am seriously considering switching over in all my devices. What's done is done I hope these things come soon.
[Nexus 7 General] Sarg92:
Just got off the phone with Google to see if it would be possible to cancel my order as another retailer is selling the Nexus 7 cheaper and has an actual release date but I was told that my order is being processed for shipping with TNT.

I was told that I would get a tracking number on Monday as TNT only operate on business days and that the only way I could cancel the order is if I refuse delivery and TNT accept my refusal.

So I guess orders from Google Play UK are going to be shipped and delivered at the beginning of next week which falls in line with the release dates from other UK retailers but just that it costs more to order from Google!
[Nexus 7 General] Rugged96:

[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Actually Amazon doesn't use them for all of their shipments. They use local shippers for a lot of their products that ship from local distributions facilities.

Not arguing the fact that Amazon and UPS both can handle shipping in a great manner, just a little tid-bit.

And I really feel like a dope because I have no idea why I ordered this thing or what I'll ever use it for. At least once a week I end up in a conversation with a guy here at work telling me how tablets are the future while I insist they'll be irrelevant in a couple years.
[Nexus 7 General] 18t:
Pre-order - Wikipedia

A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. The idea for pre-orders came when people found it hard to get popular items in stores due to their popularity. Companies were then given the idea to allow people to reserve their own personal copy, before the release, which has been a huge success. Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee immediate delivery on release

google has flubbed up. if i can get one quicker by other means, i will go that route. google has lost alot of future preorders because of this, sad.
[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Well there you go, more proof to my point. :highfive:
[Nexus 7 General] grim82:
I'm sure the Play orders are shipping from UPS fulfillment centers just like the Galaxy Nexus orders did. I'm sure UPS has employees scheduled to do the shipping on a certain day. It's not like UPS can suddenly pull a bunch of employees to label and ship the products early because a few retails broke street date. I'm guessing Google didn't specify penalties for breaking street date in their contracts otherwise the retailers would be more careful.
