Why are people coming here to try and teach us lessons about waiting....

I'm perfectly fine waiting for it. I would like it to come, but I don't care if it never does. IT'S A TABLET. I'm just here for fun, to go wild with other fans and get excited. We are not all impatient kids. I guarantee you we would all survive without this thing. So keep your lessons to yourself, please, ty.
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
It is now "mid-july", so I think if google wants to keep its customers, it should announce the exact time. It can be july 17th, then at least people will know that they cannot get it sooner. They will go to their work. If I knew I would definitely do not pre-order it. It is frustrating. I am checking this forum every 10 min. I REALLY want to be the first, but apparently google does not know what is going on (or at least they do not want us to know).

[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
ok so here is something to debate (to occupy time while we wait). When exactly is mid-month? You could say its the total number of days divided by two (15th or 16th), or is it a time period, as in early/mid/late? Is there an actual definition of this?

Early = 1st to 10th

Mid = 11th to 20th

Late = 21st to 30th
[Nexus 7 General] audioxbliss:
The only reason I'm hoping it gets shipped today is so it arrives Friday, before my birthday (Sunday). Not to mention my midterms will be conveniently over on Friday, thus giving me plenty of time to both enjoy my birthday AND my new tablet. If it arrives Monday, school starts again and I go back to studying 12+ hours a day. I really hope they ship today...

Just called gamestop and people who were the first to pre-order from them will be able to pick it up tomorrow. The next batch they will receive some time next week he said if anybody is interested for round #2. I also called J&R (that is where i bought mine for 4th of july sale ) and they had no clue where they were going to receive or send it out lol Unfortunately, i doubt i will get mine before this Friday when i go traveling. oh well, hopefully it will be sitting at my house when i come back on the 23rd!!

UK people...

So I went into Curry's in Belfast, and asked one of their staff about the Nexus 7 and when they were getting it in. The first guy was like "What?"... surprise surprise.

When I got speaking to their 'tablet expert' he told me he'd seen something about it in their little store bulletins, like they get for internal product alerts, and the one labelled "Week 10" that seemed to be dated for last Friday had a small paragraph at the bottom telling staff to "look out for it arriving next week to stores".

If that was last Friday (which would make Curry's week system start from beginning May), then that would suggest sometime this week? Not many days left for that to happen if so...
[Nexus 7 General] MSigler:
Exactly.

Yeah, I would prefer to get mine before they're available locally, but as long as they arrive before the end of next week when I leave for LA, I'm fine. Just having fun.
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:

Exactly, not knowing is always worse, because then you end up thinking that it could come at any-time making the day go like a roller-coaster :(

I called up my local Office Depot's and they really had no idea what a Nexus 7 was, so I just ordered one online from Office Depot and apparently it should be delivered to my house by the 16th. I canceled my Google order not too long ago and decided to get the Office Depot one just because it's a little cheaper, I just finished a live chat and I was told that they didn't know the release date but since I preordered they have one reserved for me and I'm more than likely getting it on the 16th.

[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
Whoa whoa..slow down there buddy. No reason to be hostile. You're getting angry over people being disappointed about pre-orders in a pre-order thread. May I suggest you just don't read this thread?

I'd like to quickly correct you as well: Google said during the keynote that the N7 would be available from B&M stores "following" the mid-july release on the google Play store. By the time anyone realized that the $25 gplay credit wasn't unique and the gplay preorder was pointless, we had already made our preorders.

Is it difficult to refuse a package and buy locally instead to save my money? Why, no, no it is not. So why shouldn't I do that? Furthermore, why should that make you angry?

Spoke to my local Game Stop.

He said the Nexus Tablets are already in transit to the store and should be there tomorrow, but they were told to delay the sale until further notice.

He said they were originally supposed to start selling July 12, and had no idea on why or when they would be able to sale. He speculated they are trying to drive up hype.

So just one more confirmation on that.

Plus the pending charges from BHPhoto are no longer on my credit card. It looks as if I never ordered it according to my credit card

[Nexus 7 General] gregokent:
Although not related to buying from Google, I ordered something from Woot a few weeks ago, it said it would send me an email when it shipped and update the order page with the tracking number. I checked for that tracking number everyday and one day I checked in the morning, nothing, and in the afternoon, the tracking number was there and it said it was on the vehicle for delivery with no email anywhere in between, so it's entirely possible they can be shipped without the tracking numbers being sent right away and charges appearing.

the exact same thing happens when I order from Zenni Optical (which ships from China, through CA). I get the tracking number in an email, which stays the same for like three days. Then all the sudden it updates it saying its out for delivery, and I found out that I received the tracking number several days after it shipped. Here's to hoping :)

Agreed. At this point, I am so f'ing pissed off that I am tempted to not get the nexus 7 at all.

I didn't order from the Play store, but I just got the following email from Staples. My original order said I would receive it on the 17th. I chatted with a Staple rep yesterday, and he confirmed that I should receive my order by 7/17.

"Valued Staples customer,

Thank you for selecting a Google Nexus tablet during our pre-sale campaign. As this is a pre-sale, the order number assigned when you pre-ordered (Staples order number above) will not provide valid tracking information and at some point will show a status of cancelled when tracked on Staples.com. We want to assure you we have reserved your Nexus and it will ship between July 12th and July 17th with a transit time of 1 - 3 business days. You will receive your order number that can be tracked when the product ships and your credit card will be charged at that time.

We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 800-333-3330 and reference your order number.

Thank you for choosing Staples.

Sincerely,

Staples Customer Service"

[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
To whoever it was saying they wouldn't mind if they get their tablet later, great.

Some of us aren't the type of people who are pushovers for poor customer service, especially when charged $14 for the privilege. If shipping was free, or even say $5, fine.

But $10+ indicates an expedited service in my opinion. I pre-ordered within five minutes after the link being available. My credit card hasn't even been charged and these devices are already at retail stores? That's a failure on Google's part.

I think they should have filled pre-orders THEN thought about retail shipments. Anyway, it's not a huge deal and I'm not trying to argue I just see so many people take whatever companies do to them without standing up for themselves.

I'm not going to get upset about it, but I did send a polite e-mail to Google indicating I thought the release could be going better. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] ayunyan:

[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Just spoke to a girl at the local GS and she said that they were supposed to release them on the 12th but were contacted by Google and told to hold them. She said that they didn't have a date yet but she has heard rumor that it will be the 31st. I also asked if I ordered it from them would I get it before those who order from Google and she said that she was told that you would get it first because Google will have to ship it whereas they will have it in-store the day of the release. So it looks like it will be a mass release to all and not after they have shipped from Google. Oh well...
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
Maybe Google decided to punish everyone because there isn't a 300 page tread about the Nexus Q
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
Google is definitely hurting themselves with the silent treatment. Its a high demand product, so its only natural for people to want an answer when there are none. They said "mid-July" was the release date, but when it comes to electronics, you have to be specific.

The excitement will soon turn sour, because consumers are just that, consumers. We love to consume, and spend our hard earned money on objects we want. I'm patient, but I am also disappointed that Google has yet to offer their potential buyers of their product anything but vague information. Especially when we are paying the shipping cost to boot.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I don't accept "a girl at the local GS" as a valid source for shipping information on a Google tablet. We know nothing.

[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
Yeah, me neither. Especially since I contacted Staples to see where they were, and the lady said "We will have the tablets in-stock on our website for non-preorders on 7/15". So the 31st really wouldn't make sense. One of the main reasons it doesn't make sense is because it came from a GameStop employee, so it's probably wrong.

Thanks; just PM me and I will let you know if your info is approved or not.

[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I doubt the Google CSRs have any real concrete date. Why tell them anything, knowing that someone would let it slip. They were probably told who could cancel, tell them they are being processed and will ship soon. The individual CSR is probably spinning "soon" because they are bored with their job and want to have some fun.
[Nexus 7 General] SpAM_CAN:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7#Hardware

Yes, it is a 1.3GHz Tegra 3.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
We're paying $14 more than someone that can go into a store and pick it up on the same day. That doesn't work for me. Also being charged for two day when they've had the ability to ship these and have chose not to for whatever reason.

But the BIG one for me is doing that and not allowing cancellations. I tried to days ago but was denied. Ship or let me cancel, Google.

Don't care if people don't understand it, it's just my opinion and everyone knows why opinions are like.... Every one has one, and they all stink! :)
[Nexus 7 General] 49erurtaza:

[Nexus 7 General] ellesshoo:
Some people are f-ing nuts. A lot of crying/ranting/raving over something that hasn't even happened. I don't remember reading some guarantee that said I'll get mine after the person in front of me gets theirs and before the person after me when I ordered(or me vs someone in a store). No, it said a few weeks and I decided that was just fine and put my money down with that understanding.

Also, the shipping fee is just that, a shipping fee. It wasn't code for "VIP we'll bring this to your door on a velvet pillow and some complimentary champagne before the unwashed masses have a chance to buy it" preferred membership. No, it was to pay for, ya know... the fuel, labor, the guy's salary that rings your doorbell... aka. the costs of running a global shipping operation.

Nut jobs complaining about stuff that are their own assumptions, promises that you've pulled out of thin air and made to yourselves. Ironically, some of these self made promises haven't even been broken and people are ranting because they just think their mythological promise will be broken.

BFD, if it ships the same day as retail stores put it out. It's a fv<king consumer electronic device, stop acting it's your God damn liver transplant!

I don't know why it's such a surprise Staples is saying 12-17th because that's in the 2-3 week time frame,This hasn't been news since the 27th
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I would say that it's a pretty safe bet that everyone who has pre-ordered their tablets will be seeing them get shipped sometime between now and the 17th. I doubt that Staples actually knows what the release date is but is hedging their bets since they already started taking money that Google/ASUS won't let it get much beyond that date.
