woah woah, chill out. You can't sue google for this. they even tried to stop it, but apparently UK didn't get the memo in time and shipped them already. If I was google I would hold off on releasing devices until everything is perfect for a grand release. Everything in this thread is speculation, there is no evidence of anything besides some UK buyers getting theirs earlier.

Something extra for the Google Play pre-orderers? Or am I reading too much into this posting from Phandroid writer:

Shouldn't feel ripped off yet. Google's keeping a close eye on the Nexus 7 and going to great lengths to make sure you guys feel loved (and privileged) ;p
[Nexus 7 General] JaZart:
Ok, so this has become a laughably outrageous debacle. Now not only are we not the first to receive our devices but we've pegged with taxes and shipping. Future more, we're unable to cancel the order although the device has yet to ship. Google and Asus have failed immeasurably with this launch and the worst part is the fact that they've issued no statement. Google failed to sale devices the first time around with the nexus one and now they are flagrantly failing currently. One thing I can take away from this catastrophic failure is that I will NEVER order from the play store again.

/rant :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
ok apparently you missed my point, people are posting left and right you have no right to be upset with google, so i said while we don't have a legal case against google, certainly we have the right to be frustrated/disappointed, no where did I say i wanted to sue google....
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
Just spoke with Google:

Was told by Joe that shipping has begun, and that it is a global roll out (So no one feels left out, eg that some people have already received). He said I should get a tracking number soon, but being 10pm on a Friday here, I might not get it (The tracking email) until Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
They told me shipping had "begun" back on the 8th if that tells you anything.

What's the UK 0800 number for the play store?

- ive forgot it & can't go back & find it in this thread, because there is sooo many pages & posts now. LOL
[Nexus 7 General] gobbo:
Ok, can I just try some simple logic on this one....

Lets just say, July 16th is the release date, to me that makes sense (1+6 = 7, and UK high street stores appear to have been told 16th).

All pre-orders are on two day shipping, therefore if shipped today they will arrive Monday 16th June, which is release day.

So far, the only people in the world who appear to have them are UK people who ordered yesterday from EBuyer, however I'd put this down to a mistake from the reseller, either that or they don't care.
[Nexus 7 General] panman86:
So since google has clearly screwed the pooch here and some brits already received their devices, is there any reason why gamestop should have to hold their pre order stock any longer? They already f*cked up. Might as well make at least some of us happy.

[Nexus 7 General] jmbillings:
Surely it's *Dublin*? Belfast is in the UK and has a code of 028 or something. The 353 country code is for ROI, so it's likely to be Dublin.

In fact, yes- from my Play order:

[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Yep! As soon as the 1st one hit the wild yesterday, Google should have just opened the flood gates. At least the retail pre-orderers would be happy.

At this point, Google is an equal opportunity pisser offer. :D

Not pick on you, but we can already determine that either the Play Store CSR knows absolutely nothing, or everyone saying the called and reporting back are lying. Again not saying anything about you but one of those two are absolutely true. Too many conflicting reports, but one of them is bound to be true eventually...LOL

Shipping today two day would technically in the US using UPS would be Tuesday delivery. And that is fine I am not to upset about that, I am more disappointed that I don't have it to play on this weekend. I will get nothing done at work if it shows up on Tuesday...haha

I agree. and I think that will happen for the most of us, the UK store issue was just a fluke IMO.

[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
These things are way to far along in the process to change anything that big. The best we can hope for would be an extra Play Store credit or some reduction in pricing. I still don't think Google has really done anything wrong. still not the END of July yet, hell technically not even the middle.

Do I want my tablet sooner... hell ya! I would even be willing to pay a few bucks to upgrade shipping to NextDay at this point with a solid release date.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
Ok, assume away. That still puts it 1 week away.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
This is just insane. There were no promises other than mid July which could mean 10-20 July. That could be mid July depending on how you want to interpret it. Google had no control over what one UK reseller has done. Yes, it kind of stinks that the devices are ready and sitting at all the Gamestop stores around you. Can you do anything about that? No, not a thing. I guarantee you the shop in the UK will never be allowed to carry direct from Google hardware again. I don't mean the numerous Android tablets that are made my different manufacturers. I mean Nexus branded devices. Google had a street date attached to them when they sent the shipment to the UK store, and my assumption is they completely neglected that notice. Not good for business relations.

My real point is everyone is still getting upset over something that is completely out of their control. Google will ship the pre-orders when they ship them. Gamestop will sell the devices when they sell them. No one has an avenue for legal action. No one can do anything to make Gamestop sell them to you sooner. Those devices are sent in batches. They are accounted for. Google knows exactly what devices are activated and when. No store will take a chance on getting fined by Google for some breach of contract or anything else to piss off the search giant. So direct that energy to something productive, because sitting on the forums repeating the same angry banter over and over isn't going to help at all. It may make you feel better for the time being, but it is no good to be angry all the time. I really don't understand, especially, why people are also getting pissed off at people who bought it through other sources than the Play Store, and getting the $25 credit. If the roles were reversed, you would be pissed if you didn't get it.

Go grab a water, hit the gym, and put your angry energy into a nice workout that will help your health. :)
[Nexus 7 General] bender_123:
I am amazed at how weird people get over what is, basically, a toy...I preordered one as well, but chill out. Google didnt give out a date for a reason (likely they are making damn well sure they have a launch day OTA for universal search to avoid...sigh...another pissy Apple lawsuit...see Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean Injunction for more details, it wasnt the phone, it was the software that we are also getting on our tab).

The world wont end if other people get the box on their door first and there are thousands of them in the wild from i/o, so it isnt like your gadget pron unboxing will be the first one on youtube. We wouldnt even know or care if Gamestop and others hadnt let slip that their stock is already sitting in their backrooms, so this isnt Googles fault.

Just kick back, grab a beer and live the life knowing your tablet is sitting comfy in its box, waiting to come home.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Belfast is in the UK and doesn't have an international dialing code when you ring from England. That is a Dublin number which funnily enough is where the European Headquarters of Google is :D

I've seen various reports over the last few days of people getting no response on that number so not looking good on that front :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
I still can't believe nothing has happened. Oh wait, yes I can.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
It does. It gives them an entire additional week to get the devices to people. If it ships by Wednesday, they still meet what they set for themselves.
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
Lol, I just found it funny that one right after the other, one says grab a water, and hit the gym, and the very next one says kick back and grab a beer.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
they said mid July. It sounded like 10-12th max. Yea, they are covered if they deliver on the 20th and they are covered if they deliver on the 20th of 2014...

But i won't buy again as a preorder for no reason. i'll go down the shop, touch it, feel it and pay no delivery fee..

Apple- "We want to ban the sale of the Nexus 7 tablet. We are putting an iP** mini out this year, and think that competition is bad. Real bad. So umm, it kind of looks like something we plan on releasing later this year, so it absolutely must be banned for infringing on patent 8,794,990."

In patent related stuff, has Google been issued the patent for the notification shade? I don't remember if they had applied and it was waiting to be granted, or if it had been granted. I would really really REALLY love to see them hit Apple with that patent. "Hey iOS, you need to redesign your entire notification system, because it is a blatant rip-off. Thanks".

[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
Probably.

I'll be honest, at this point I don't even care about getting the damn thing anymore. What I want is my $14 back. For this very reason, I'm refusing delivery of my N7. Doesn't matter when it arrives, I'm not paying extra for no reason. Done deal. Google can eat the shipping themselves. Maybe next time they'll take care of pre-orders the way you're supposed to - FIRST.

You can all defend Google all you want but I can tell you right now what makes me mad about all of this. It has nothing to do with when the tablets officially ship out.

Why did I pay for shipping when every other retailer is shipping for free? I even had to pay for two day shipping! Maybe if I was going to get it sooner than everyone else I would of been fine with it but its pretty obvious that's not the case. This is Google's tablet it must cost less for them that Staples and others so why is Google getting more of my money? Is this to offset the 25$ we get? Anyone dumb enough to order direct is helping to recover the cost of giving everyone the store credit.

[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
That is not entirely accurate, most of us who pre-ordered were promised 2-3 weeks and that was on the 27th, so the 18th is actually the max date promised.

so while that should be the date people become up in arms, i think its the other "rumors" getting to people at this point, like perhaps not getting them til after that date, while staples, gamestop, sams, etc will have them in store on the 16th or that they are different or that its possible they are only shipping 10,000 a day and it could be weeks, or that they are all just sitting down the street just waiting for no apparent reason for google to say "ready, set, DELIVER"

This is why companies usually give specific dates rather than "mid-July".

[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
So, wait, companies hate giving specific dates? That makes no flipping sense whatsoever. Think of the grief and high volume of calls Google has received for not giving a date. Now think how little grief Apple/Video Game manufacturers/etc. has gotten for giving a date and sticking to it.
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
I have no problem if Google PS sends me the n7 even by the end of this month (if not by the end of next week). I understand there can be problems associated with shipping and distributing something this big.

The only thing that bugs me is that, how come the retailers like GS/Staples/Adorama and even some guys in UK get hands of this before we do? What's the point of pre-ordering then? If someone ordered earlier at least his order should've shipped earlier. Now, google is just fiddling over the orders made in PS while some guys who just ordered yesterday are playing with their toys at home. Yeah, their shippers promised shipping date of 7/12 but I don't even understand why Google would even send the shipment to those retailers before the people who ordered earlier than them?
[Nexus 7 General] dcviperboy:
FYP
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
And shipping on the 18th would mean it's delivered the 20th. So 10-20 is entirely accurate. People should want an explanation after the 20th if preorders haven't been shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
The irony of it all is that with the Nexus 7, Google was going to show everyone how to do it right. Apparently they weren't talking about getting the product to the people.

[Nexus 7 General] bender_123:
Google is also the only one offering the 8GB version...Everyone else is only stocking the more profitable 16GB. Also, the tablet is not "Googles" manufactured device, it is Asus. Just like how the One was HTC, S and Galaxy were Samsung products...Google is blessing it with "pure" Android. They are likely selling it at the same margin as B&M stores as they are buying it from an OEM.

The "Q" is the only Google manufactured hardware in existance.
