Emailed Gamestop and heres what I got

8/7 is NOT confirmed

Message

Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.

GameStop.com works tirelessly with game publishers to ensure accurate release dates on our site. Occasionally, publishers decide to delay production to improve quality or add new features. Sometimes dates move forward; more often they move back and frequently they get changed more than once.

If a game is scheduled for release far in the future, the publisher may not even give us a date. In those cases we rely on the collective wisdom of our buying staff to estimate a date based on their knowledge of the industry and the publisher's history.

We guarantee that we will always post the best information provided by publishers. We know that you want that hot new game yesterday and we want to be the company that gets it to you quicker than anyone else.

If you have additional questions, we are here for you. You can respond to this email, or if you prefer to speak to someone directly, you can reach us 7 days a week 8am ? 8pm at 800-883-8895.

Best Regards,

Ebbo

I was origionally in on the 27th, but like a dummy I reordered later at the 16 gb

Order Date: July 2, 2012 11:28:20 PM UTC-4 :(
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
Seriously? THey said you can cancel yours? I am getting sick of following the news and hoping getting it soon. If it does not cancel first group, but they do it for second ones, I really hope they ship it soon.
[Nexus 7 General] xilefian:
I would presume that's a default company response message to questions on release dates, I'd say in this case Google would be the only source worth emailing at this time as they are the direct suppliers.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I've already spoke to GameStop through email and the phone. The email I received was vague and unhelpful like yours. I called them and spoke to a woman who contacted someone higher-up than her. She confirmed that the dates that we were given were estimates and if the devices arrived earlier we would receive emails/text messages depending on how we ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
i meant not confirmed 8/7 sorry
[Nexus 7 General] Shuzzaka:
It would be pretty messed up if any of the Staples orders got delivered before the day 1 play store orders.
[Nexus 7 General] deaglecat:
So if i order an 8Gb today from the play store - when would I get it ?

Same question but for the 16Gb ?

Or should I just go to a retailer (UK) on the day of release ?

[Nexus 7 General] tommillski:
I've got a feeling that those of us in the UK with 16gb devices that have been charged will get a shipping email overnight.. and don't any of you tell me otherwise, its the only think keeping me sane!
[Nexus 7 General] bigfatron:
Oddly enough i've not read all 1000+ pages of the thread, in fact I think I only came onto the thread yesterday. If you've seen firsthand evidence that sales were authorised from Google on the 12th and then later retracted then fine, i'll cede to the guy holding hard evidence.

Which begs the question why only some started to ship/sell and others didn't. Maybe some had stock, maybe some didn't. It just seems rather odd.

It also bears clarification that you're talking about mainly US resellers whereas the specific Ebuyer gun jumping I was referring to was by Ebuyer UK. You appear to be talking about US sales given you refer to buying from a Gamestop store and they didn't have any stores left over here last time I checked. As I said in my original post, AFAIK only Ebuyer started shipping before today in the UK.

So I gather us 16gb ukers have to wait still then? :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
mine just arrived :good:

I do have a really important question I cant seem to get answered:

Im sure at some point this has been answered somewhere in here, but after 20 min of searching I gave up.

I preordered a tablet from GP. Last friday I picked one up at Sams Club. I am planning on selling the one I preordered from GP (already a buyer lined up). When I ordered it I clicked the box that said 'link to this account'. Will he be able to link his account to the device? I figured there would be another box on the opening screen that says use another account or something...just wanted to make sure...he asked me about it.

Also, will he still get the $25 GP Credit when he registers it?

Looking to sell this thing tongiht!
[Nexus 7 General] elias0441:
It's been 30 hours since my second charge and no shipping info or email yet, anyone in the same shoes? what's goin on...

LOL sorry man I'm still not used to the new xda layout, my post has nothing to do with yours

[Nexus 7 General] mtbgus:
Currys UK have now sold out.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
I know right!?!?! Someone posted earlier that they ordered an 8G via Play Store today and received a shipping notice already! I wonder if it is the 16G that is out of stock or something? If so this would mean that our 16G orders would take at least another week wouldn't it?

Oh and someone posted that Google received x times more orders than they expected for the Nexus 7 and this is one reason for all of the delays, Bull$hit! Well it is possible that they had a better than expected showing on orders which is great for them, BUT they knew about it on June 27! A full

"3-4 weeks"

before the first shipping notice went out. If they can't ramp up production on a couple hundred thousand devices in that timeframe then they shouldn't be selling hardware anyway!

Dear Google

I am begging you not to deliver my Play Store UK pre ordered Nexus 7. Please please don't charge my card, and definitely don't email me any shipping information.

Thanks.

They sold out a few hours ago :laugh:

This thread is such a waste of time...I think I need to go do something productive like hang out on ChatRoulette.

That's tame compared with mind your language - I'm sure there'll be a clip on YouTube.
[Nexus 7 General] Morningstar132:
Well I'll be happy to help you over to the insane seating area by telling you I don't believe anything I was told, and that I doubt the 16gb versions will arrive before next week now.

Was just looking at the original email.

"You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has been shipped."

My bold, I've been charged, where the FXXX is the shipping?
[Nexus 7 General] Dethzilla:
Nope... I stayed on for 1:15 Minutes... The guy guaranteed me that my order will ship this week. I only called because someone mentioned they have to "touch" your account to get things rolling. Consider my account touched.
[Nexus 7 General] raziel73:
I ordered on the 30th in the US
[Nexus 7 General] thatspecialbeat:
Here is a monkey wrench. I ordered a 16gig right when the play store went active. Then I noticed the case and got it separately. They overnited the case yesterday so I got the case before the Nexus 7.

I am not particularly happy with the case. No magnet for the sensor and there is no mechanism to keep the cover closed. I'll post a couple things about how it fits with the tablet when it gets here.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Probably here. Which is where we all must be for expecting Google to deliver.
[Nexus 7 General] TheHEFTA:
Bumping so people can try and get their shipping back!
[Nexus 7 General] IwakuraKaitou:
You're not the only one,

Ordered 16GB with case on 27th during IO

Finally got charged and had playstore order update 12:00AM Saturday Morning.

Still no shipping confirmation or tracking number, however when I called Google yesterday around 4:30PM EST she said it had shipped out that morning at 9AM California time, so assuming she wasn't lying to me my order will likely get here before I even get the shipment confirmation email with a tracking number. Unless it shows up in my inbox in the next few hours or so....
[Nexus 7 General] vkapadia:
I have used your email, with a few changes/additions of my own. Lets see what they say.
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
I hope this is a phenomenal success as I want to see some real competition in the tablet world. My fear is that by botching this release up so bad, people will be turned off from Google and by extension Android.
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
Hope your delivery guy doesn't have to drive through Ford Heights....you might never get it.
[Nexus 7 General] mtbgus:
Thank you for your email,

Sorry but we refuse to comply.

Google.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Someone who already received theirs will have to answer, but if I had to guess I would say yes to both Q's. I do not believe that the devices will come already linked to your account, I think you will still have to go through the exercise of inputting your username and password. Then once it is all setup he should go to Google Play store and there should be a $25 credit already there for the account. So I think he is safe.

ALSO - Nobody is mentioning the additional $10 credit for these devices! Go to Google Wallet on the Nexus 7 and register. You should get a $10 Gift Card inside Google Wallet once all is complete so you can test out the NFC for payment at a store that has a visa swipe CC reader (or whatever that thing is called).
[Nexus 7 General] dadoc04:
wow man... reports about this case, along with it holding up my order is really making me regret buying it.

You don't know when to quit when you're behind, do you? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] ASSMO:
Just spoke to a representitive after being on hold for an hour and a half. This is what he said:

I asked- Can i cancel my order?

He said- You can refuse the order or call UPS when it is shipped and we can intercept it.

I asked- And when will it be shipped?

He said- All pre orders were asked to be shipped by tonight! Google asked UPS to ship it and your box has been preauthorized for payment. Meaning your is literally waiting to have a stamp on it and a guy drive it to you.

I asked- I am in Canada how do you know it was shipped or where the item is?

He said- Your tablet will be at your door probably by thursday and you should get an email confirmation tonight. preauthorized means that your card was charged and the item is literally waiting to be shipped out.

I said- Wow so I shouldnt cancel?

He said- No because you will have it before the weekend.

He then stated that everyone should keep there orders with google because google themselves fix the issue if there is one, for example a broken power button Google will call asus and get it fixed. Staples or any other 3rd party wouldnt be able to do so. The third party has to take care of it.

That was my conversation.

What do you guys think?

I am in Ontario Canada. Ordered July 5th.
[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
Omg! Just caught my UPS truck.

Nexus 7 I'm my hands
[Nexus 7 General] Broomfundel:
OK, 7.40pm in the UK. Ordered moments after keynote. 16GB, no accessories, no changing the order or address. Only holding charge, not real, supposedly processed yesterday and no news of any kind.

I'm sad now, so going to stop staring at this screen and go watch some TV instead.

I may still jump for every email though. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
Yes, the 16GB is running low on supply. Showing as "Ships in 3-4 weeks" on Google Play.

[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
I still have no faith we'll have it, let alone the email by the weekend. :(
[Nexus 7 General] thatspecialbeat:
The only possible silver lining it that the case was overnited. It got here really quickly. So maybe the people who are held up will get quick shipping. But unless there is something great I am missing the case is not worth it.
[Nexus 7 General] Exino:
I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. Not sure how they're doing the 2nd day shipping if some people in Canada are already reporting that we only get UPS Standard shipping (a co-worker showed me his UPS tracking at work a few hours ago, and it's definitely not two day shipping) for the $19.99 price paid. Did you order the 16 GB?

[Nexus 7 General] cookiezulu:
here's my saga

- ordered 8GB from google play store uk on 1st July

- heard nothing until last night when I got an email saying the item has shipped

- only picked up the email this morning and was straight onto TNT site to track

- item was already out for delivery so I got all excited (I live in Central London and delivery was from Park Royal)

- at 14.31 the message on TNT website is that the item couldn't be delivered as the address is unknown

- got on the phone with TNT, they answered straight away and told me that indeed the address on the parcel makes no sense so driver didn't know what to do with it (they read the address to me and indeed it made no sense and it bore only the slightest of resemblances to correct address). I gave them the correct address and I was told that somebody from TNT will contact me within the hour to give me an update

- somebody did, 15 min later. This is where the astonishing part begins. Basically TNT guy said that the parcel came from a company called Computer 2000 and that they would need to issue TNT with the correct address. I said that I ordered from Google and I know nothing of this company and the guy said that there are around 200 other customers in my situation and that what happened is that there's a bug in the software that this company uses to download the delivery addresses from Google play store and as a consequence they are all messed up.

And that I need to get in touch with Google or Computer 2000 and get them to give the correct delivery address for me.

- so I call Google UK on the 0800 number. After 55 min on hold! the guy from Google takes my details and says that he'll forward them to a specialist. He asked if I can't in touch with TNT and I had to explain that no, TNT won't do anything at my request

- I received an email straight after confirming the conversation

- I received a second email from a different person from Google letting me know that they are investigating the issue and trying to recover the package. I don't understand what is there to recover, TNT haven't lost the package, they just don't know where to deliver it.

Disappointed by the whole experience because:

1. This is my first foray into Android world

2. Am eagerly waiting to play with the Nexus

3. Delivery was not free

4. I can't believe Google would use a third party for the launch of a product as symbolically important as the Nexus 7

5. It makes me wonder what else is going to be wrong / go wrong with the Nexus

6. I feel shortchanged and am really miffed that I took the bait (of believing that Google was getting serious about Android). I'm afraid Nexus will not last long with me

I ordered mine on the 14th of July, so only recently, but the $19.99 was for 2 day shipping according to my order.

I'm really looking forward to it, but there have been no updates yet. I do want it as fast as possible, but I'm being realistic that many others have ordered before me.

Of course Canadacomputers.com has some in stock in other cities. Ugh! :P

Forms the bulk of my own, just sent complaint email. I'm less peeved about not having it already (though that is annoying) but about how they have handled my CC. Took the complaint email drafted by a few people earlier and tinkered:
[Nexus 7 General] ASSMO:
I ordered an 8 gb, He also said that hes pretty sure there shipping it by airplane to Canada/Uk. That could make it 2day.
[Nexus 7 General] ASSMO:
He told me that they're shipping via air to Canada and Uk, That would make it 2 day shipping. He also said that the orders could be at Toronto Canada Google Headquarters. So that would also make it 2 day shipping if they shipped them there.
[Nexus 7 General] dtblair24:
My 8GB just arrived. Ordered July 8.
[Nexus 7 General] TheHEFTA:
They should do it for you, I just had to wait on hold for an hour.
[Nexus 7 General] gyaku_zuki:
Totally wouldn't surprise me - I have heard a few reports of frequent dead pixels, screen adhesive and light seepage issues. Perhaps a few bad batches. But, with the lack of info, we can only speculate - for my own part, if they had a bad wave needing recalled, I'd actually have more respect and FEEL BETTER if they went "Guys, so sorry, but we realised one of our waves had a manufacturing defect, and we want you all to have the best product available so we decided to recall that batch from the warehouses. Unfortunately, that has delayed your shipment."
[Nexus 7 General] chosen14u:
Well after days and days of sitting here waiting I'm giving up. 2 of my friends were able to walk into a store and buy the Nexus 7 tablet, even tho I pre-ordered they get them before us?? A big **** you Google!
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
That aint gonna happen, I love both Android and (if I dare say..) Apple.. I have both devices, although I actually choose this over going out and paying "far too much" for the bigger ios equivalent> As well as not really my kinda tablet, its way to pricey and anyway, I kinda like to mess with things.. lol..

I am "so mad as hell" with Google like everyone, but it wont or hasnt effected my feeling toward Android. I like you were hoping this would be a great success for Google (probably may still be...this is a glitch, major but a glitch nonetheless..)
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
This makes disturbing reading.
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
regardless if this happened or not, they should notify everyone what happened to their product instead of doing all this back door cc auth/charging.

[Nexus 7 General] lubrb:
Mine arrived an hour or so ago - charging now.

When I first started my Nexus 7 up, it came to a page saying something like "welcome <my email address>" "Not <my name>? Click here". The next page asked for my Google password. I think it's safe to assume that the 'Click here' allows someone else to register the device.

After logging in, I got an email with the credit for the Play Store. The long conditions linked to seem to indicate that when the first person registers on the device with a Google Wallet account, the serial number gets sent & in return the credit is posted. Max one per serial number.

Lots of assumptions, but I think you should be safe.

I think it sucks that tech sites are posting all is well and that pre-orders are fullfilled. The worst blurb ive seen outside of forum sites is that retailers are sold out and that it is selling well.

I'm shocked there is no witch hunt

[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
From the "when will preorders ship" Google Play page:

ahhh..the old switcheroo. From "all" to "many". That's a pretty big difference, one that could mean as "many" as "none".

I ordered the 16 w/case on 7/1. No charge, email, or tracking #. Two coworkers ordered during lunch last week (Wed, I think), and both brought them in today...they did not get cases, though.

[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
So you believe that Google somehow recalled 10's of thousands of defective N7'S at shipping hubs all around the world, and in a span of about 48 hours managed to replace them with the 10's of thousands of replacement N7's that have shipped starting yesterday? Seriously?
[Nexus 7 General] Dethzilla:
Hey... Not sure if you've noticed but these things are selling like Hotcakes on Ebay. I wouldn't refuse anything... You can probably lower your cost of the one you're keeping by half if you simply sell it.

Oh dear god. I fear that this explains the reason why a lot of us are still awaiting emails.

Two N7 16GB's arrived today...similar story, I picked two up from Sam's Club on Friday. Puting these up for sale at cost instead of returning them in hopes they get into someone's hands sooner (if google can't ship items right, lord knows how long it would take them to restock an item). I just want as many people as possible to have this tablet so we can start getting some accelerated app dev for Android tabs!

Yep, I don't appreciate being lied to. Last Friday it was 'All preorders will ship in the next 3 business days'. What the hell happened to that? Could they not be arsed to stick to their promise?
