Update: Was just on phone with GOOG Canada and they have confirmed that July 19 is the ship date,

no earlier than this

(not sure what happens my North American counterparts). Now I wonder if the orders based on first in first out queue go into August shipping.

I couldn't cancel my order either.
[Nexus 7 General] Xi2wiked:
I hate white devices as well, I'd even pay extra for a different color if I had to.
[Nexus 7 General] th3drow:
Is it just me or do you think this is how the google employees decide an answer when you call about ship dates
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Valid question, but the fact of the matter is that I don't hate the iPad or iOS. I prefer Android, but for what it is the iPad performs really well and, frankly, better than any Android tablet I've owned thus far. I'm fully expecting the N7 to change that, and I will not buy another Apple product after their litigious attacks against competitors.

The white, however, is atrocious. It makes using it in bright conditions almost unbearable. The bright white border is incredibly distracting to me. I know that some people like the look and don't have a problem with it but I absolutely hate it. I cannot imagine having a white phone.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Don't trust that, you can't trust google reps. We've heard every day of the month get tossed around. All we can do is wait.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
Interpretation:

"Yeah I know we have the units already in the back. But Google screwed this up and sent units to retail locations and have not sent them out to direct buyers from their website. In an effort to not piss those people off we can't sell ours until Google figures out when they want to ship it to individual people"

I mean its crazy, its not like they don't know when they will get stock, they have stock.
[Nexus 7 General] Generalhead:
At this point I would take anything you hear with a grain of salt. If I was one of Google's customer reps I'd be telling you it's weeks away just so you'll leave me alone until you get it. It'll come when it comes. Step outside and get some fresh air!:cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] neek:
and it costs 0.99 more.. than staples, BH, JR.. Play Store.. go figure..
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
Funny, isn't that one day past "3 weeks' for those that ordered on the 27th.

[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Mine is coming from Google Ireland,

So I expect Paddy to send me:

1x Nexus 3

1x Nexus 4

& some instructions on how to build it. :-)
[Nexus 7 General] Foxman2k:
I had e-mailed Google asking about shipping. Received this just now:

-------

Preorders will begin shipping in mid-July, though at this time I’m unable to provide a specific date for your individual order.

Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email and tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date.

Regards,

Matt

I get pissed when I see that! Stop tormenting me with ads!
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
If that Gamestop order is right, they most likely have their pre-ordered Nexus tablets in stock. I used to work at Gamestop and that happened quite often, release date schedules and street dates, I find it strange that they would already have tablets in stock though while nothing has been shipped to anyone else, that kind of rules out issues with lawsuits or features they might have to patch if Gamestop and other retailers actually have them already. This to me is just a strange release in general, I cant think of any device lately that has been this out in limbo lol, now I wish I wouldnt have sold my Transformer early, as I thought I wouldnt have to wait very long and its not looking promising....

I got this exact message in early July.. from Matt. Going out of town so wanted to see if a change of address would be needed.
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
So they did in fact arrive at my store today and as of right now the release stands for my store to be tomorrow. I'm passed because if I could cancel I would just buy one here since non of these are peorder. Yesterday I said that we where told there would be a sticker saying do not sell until July 12th but that was not there. I date for this store is still 12th.
[Nexus 7 General] Gibsonflyingv:
Just refuse the package dude!

[Nexus 7 General] stretched:
I'll be grabbing one from Gamestop tomorrow
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
Gamestop in Northern Virginia has the nexus 7. That is they are holding them until they get the okay to sell them which the guy at the store said tomorrow. Feel fee to call them (703) 707-9053
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
Problem with that is funds will be taken by Google so I won't have funds to purchase here.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
Where some of those startbucks are located.... not much fresh air. LOL

Step further outside!!
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
You're assuming he has another $249 spare to buy one from Gamespot tomorrow, then get charged by Google, refuse delivery and wait weeks for a refund.
[Nexus 7 General] danielsf:
Thumbs up if you feel like you die a little in side every time you look at this thread and no progress has been made......................Surly I can't be the only one :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Good luck with that, considering they aren't allowed to sell them tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] udaykiran0:
I know there is no new information in this post but thought of posting it anyway. I called Google(typing this simultaneously) about my declined card(4 times on June 27). So the customer service guy definitely knew whats going on in this thread. He even joked abt it. He said mid July is mathematically 15 and a half days. When I kept pressing for any update he says the latest status is that the devices ARE BEING MOVED TO THE SHIPPER LOCATIONS. And that they are under tremendous pressure to get everything sorted out smoothly. They have no delays expected as of now.
[Nexus 7 General] churraman:
I called on the GameStop stores around my area and they told me that the scheduled release date was supposed to be tomorrow 7/12 but that it was pushed back to a new date and that they don't know what the new date is but that they expect it to be in July probably next week. So all my hopes of getting the N7 this week are slowly fading away....
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
Well here in Utah my company is going to be selling them and we are not Gamestop.
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
I smoke so its all fresh air to me
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
The guy at the gamestop in my area said they are indeed allowed to give them to people who preordered tomorrow. Guess none of this matters anyway until someone actually goes there tomorrow and walks out with one..Now if that happens and I still don't have a tracking number..
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
Here is a picture.
[Nexus 7 General] FlareHeart:
This sounds like they may be expecting to have them deployed for the Monday the 16th? Crossing fingers!
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
Hey the Google rep quoted me and didn't give credit, that's it, I am suing!!

[Nexus 7 General] stretched:
What company? If I can't get it at Gamestop tomorrow where can I get it? I am in Utah
[Nexus 7 General] Plexicle:
I think of the last 1000 posts or so (I've glanced through them all), this is likely the best hidden gem out of them all. I like to think I can tell when people are making things up, and I'm not getting that with this post.
[Nexus 7 General] pmgreen:
For the 16 or 8? Anyway to know how many each store has? Traveling tomorrow, love to pick up one for the trip
[Nexus 7 General] jcracken:
Just noticed the tags...

12th maybe, and this is crazy, apple sucks, ***** wait, but its the12 so ship it maybe, buy apple, childish, crybabies, embrace our furry! i want my tablet!, i s2 u justin bieber, ipad is better, must.. have.. nexus 7, nexus 7, nexus7>vagina ??, ocd, only hedgehog really knows! shhhhhh!, this thread is a riot, will not be yours
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
We only got the 16 gig.
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
I called my old manager from the GameStop I used to work at. She said they haven't received their daily shipment yet, but it shows in their inventory that they should receive 12 Nexus 7's today. They have 9 on reserve. As of now, she is being told that they should be in the system tomorrow for sale, so I'm heading up after work to put a deposit down and I'll just refuse my shipment, or return it from Google Play if we don't hear anything concrete today.

Baffles me how they are being so vague on the ship date.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
If Gamestop preorders can be picked up tomorrow, and I don't have a tracking number showing delivery on the same day... Well, I, I, I... will complain on the internet! :laugh:

I think I've figured it out though; it's a contractual obligation to have a f'ed launch whenever Asus is involved.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
So it's never fresh air....LOL
[Nexus 7 General] heat361:
I think that's the only one any store outside of Google play are selling.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
Didn't Google also say that JB wouldn't be pushed out or in AOSP until Mid-July? So mid-July is whatever suits them.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Attention people that want to go to gamestop tomorrow: An email is being sent out that stops them from selling the tablets tomorrow. Unless your local gamestop disregards the email, they will not be selling them until the play store customers get their devices. So, you might as well save the gas and continue to call google.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Tomorrow will come & go without anybody getting a nexus 7, Gamestop will be told not to sell them tomorrow, if they haven't already been told.
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:

There are two gamestops within 2 miles of me. Should I not receive a google play shipping notification by 3:00pm today, I'm placing my preorder with one of them and refusing delivery.

Well you cant pre-order online through Gamestop anymore, I did so on the 6th but cancelled it and ordered through play on the 7th, just checking now you cannot pre-order the Nexus 7 anymore from their website, it doesnt even show up anymore that you can even buy it from them online, so in store stuff is obviously different, but again another weird thing going on as you could pre-order just a day or so ago
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
I assure you Google image such will not find that picture. Do I need to add a piece of paper to the pic with my user name on it?
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
What part of Utah are you in? I just called a Gamestop in Minneapolis, and they told me its slated to go on sale there tomorrow, so I would assume it would be the same for you guys. My brother lives in Sandy, so I bet he would know where the locations are at. I seem to remember a Gamestop being in the Ft. Union area. But just call them.
[Nexus 7 General] FlareHeart:
Came back clean. No other results for this pic.

Google Play Preorder vs Local retailer deliver time

I ordered from the Play store on the first day. It will be very lame of Google if someone can walk into a local retailer and pick one up before I get mine from Google directly. And since shipping was 2 to 3 days probably alot of Play store orders will arrive after you could have picked it up locally.
[Nexus 7 General] motaman76:
Adam its not Gamestop.... Screw it I hope I don't get in trouble for this but RC Willey. Again we have been told to not sell until July 12th. No emails as of yet to change that date.
[Nexus 7 General] iucidium:
Just a precautionary measure, it is the internet. Sorry to offend
[Nexus 7 General] yerand:
I called apple and they told me to come here and let you guys know that they have updated the play store to say that its shipping in one to two weeks. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Hipnado:
I called two GameStops in Iowa yesterday. Both said the release date has been delayed to an undetermined date.

The most logical conclusion is that Google is shipping the stock to UPS distribution centers where they will sit until Google gives them the green light. If Google were to ship them all from one central location, not everyone would receive them on the same day.

The reason some of the B&M stores already have their stock is because they have the ability to hold them in the back room until they receive their go-ahead to start selling. My prediction is that everyone (Play and B&M) will receive their orders on the same day (perhaps tomorrow or Friday?).
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Google image confirms it is an original!
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
My guess is that most Gamestops havent received their email yet or simply havent checked, if that picture was real and was actually sent from higher ups to all the stores, there are going to be a bunch of stores that will get in serious trouble tomorrow if they actually sell these things, that memo is going out to all their stores and they will suffer huge fines and people can easily get fired for not following that memo, but as I said you cannot pre-order these from Gamestop online anymore, not sure why its been removed all together though....
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
Pretty much identical to what Apple does. Except these boneheads didn't realize you should already have everything in place before you start asking for money.

[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
Lol I never really liked RC Willy much. The ironic thing is that I am planning on coming back to Utah over the 24th of July weekend, so how funny would it be if i went to Utah to RC Willy and got a Nexus 7 before it arrived to me here in Minneapolis. But gamestop did tell me (here) that it was scheduled to go on sale tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Google shouldn't have even THOUGHT about shipping these to retailers until every preorder in at least the first week of availability were fulfilled. Way to reward the most enthusiastic fans of your product.

And partnering with Gamestop, blech, don't get me started. Give a kid $30 for a week old game and sell it for $54.99, a whole five bucks under new.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
look, no one's been charged, i sincerely doubt, before tomorrow we get charged and they get shipped 2 day. Which means i'd guess Saturday earliest, and i'm pretty sure there's not going to be a saturday delivery, I'd say we're looking at Monday at the absolute earliest at this point....unfortunately.
[Nexus 7 General] Lootes:
If it is true that they have been notified not to sell tomorrow, corporate will just block the SKU in the POS system. No SKU, no sale, it is as easy as that. Assuming that Gamestop has a fully networked POS system, which I believe they do.
[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
If you are able to get it in Minneapolis tomorrow, let me know so I can pick one up too!
[Nexus 7 General] timmytim:
Why does everyone assume that they are being shipped UPS? I could swear when I completed my pre-order checkout the Play Store notification said it was coming Fed Ex.
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
Leaving on the 16th for 9 days seemed really bad... but now I'm not even sure my N7 will be there when I get back. This is ridiculous. At least give us some sort of update. Someone earlier had it right: the people that ordered first are the biggest fans of the product. Why not try to appease them? We are the most invested in their ecosystem..:(
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I just hope one brave/crazy retail person breaks street date and it gets all over the internet because then chaos will really ensue.... :laugh:

Disclaimer: Not encouraging that, because you'll be most likely looking for a new job!
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
I don' tknow if I will actually buy one. I live right across the way from a gamestop, so I will just go in and see if they have one for sale. Not to mention finding an old video game to sell them for credit, and then getting 30% off or whatever their deal is.
[Nexus 7 General] lesonal:
If my tablet is not shipped by tomorrow I'll punch 50 babies .
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
My galaxy nexus came via UPS.
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
yeah they do, and I can see them doing that, but I was also talking about the employees that said they are selling it tomorrow, they must not have got the memo yet ;)
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
I called my local GameStop in Clearwater fl and their original date was the 12th he probably has them in stock but he said "we might have them but I don't know" which means we have them but Ill lose my job telling you lol he said it should be soon though
[Nexus 7 General] Dradien:
Why 50?
[Nexus 7 General] irbane:
so i called 2 gamestops near my work. they're literally a block away from each other. the first store said they WILL be selling them tomorrow. the other store said it'll be the end of the month. :confused:

EDIT: forgot to mention that the first store had only 3 in stock for the 3 people that pre-ordered
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
First store didn't get the delay email yet.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
:) you going to check any other stores in the clearwater area? I'm in Largo but work in St. Pete real close to one and thought about it, but I'm guessing it will be the same they have them, we're selling them, skip to tomorrow, oh we can't sell them now, hopes up for nothing....
[Nexus 7 General] Dirtbound:
The original ship date range of 2-3 weeks for original pre-orders placed the shipping somewhere between July 11th and July 18th.

As of yesterday the 1-2 week estimate places the shipping somewhere between July 17th and July 24th.

At this rate I'm thinking we wont get shipping notifications until sometime next week. :crying:

But I hope to see something before Friday. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] netiseret:
Pretty sure the accessories that I ordered from China on Ebay are going to arrive before the Nexus 7 does.

Also, Nexus 7 just tweeted a promo video with Georges St-Pierre...Guess that's part of what has been occupying their time -_-
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
I just checked both staples and gamestop websites. Apparently, the do not offer Nexus 7 anymore. I just chatted with someone in staples, and she said they wont get any order for nexus 7 until 7/15.
[Nexus 7 General] Atmazzz:
If they are shipping UPS, unless Saturday delivery is specified, they need to ship today. If they ship later, I hope its USPS .. or by some mach 4 military aircraft.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I'm hoping that my GameStop doesn't receive the delay email (if it actually is real seeing as people are having mixed results when calling stores) and gives me my tablet tomorrow. Technically, I know it's not fair to those who ordered from Play, but ethics aren't going to get in my way on getting this tablet :)

EDIT: I live in a small town, my GameStop is newer, and I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who ordered one. So I'm hoping that delay email just doesn't reach them...or, if it does, they give it to me anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
I'll probably call everything in a 50 mile radius I'm busy now so its hard to call atm Lol
[Nexus 7 General] Darth Pooh:
If other retailers get them first, be mad at Asus, not Google.

This is not Google's product, just a device that they are supporting as a developer branch and selling through their retail channel. They are at the mercy of Asus being really bad at fulfilling orders.
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
Just a thought to throw out there, surely once before they can start shipping the pre-order Nexus 7's out, GP will need to remove the "pre-order now" status to just "order now" just a thought like!!! :D
[Nexus 7 General] Atmazzz:
Get off your girlfriend. This is more important.
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
Having been on the "inside" of how GameStop works, I am not going to be surprised at all to see Nexus 7's being sold. Granted, they are sending their corporate email, but the corporate email goes to the ASM's, and then its the ASM's responsibility to forward the latest to the store managers themselves. So that's where the gap occurs, which is why some stores are getting separate pieces of information.

It is amazing how that company survives. They are always 10 steps behind technology wise when it comes to their POS machines (they still use old NCR dial up connections), along with old dot matrix printers for their reporting. Not to mention the way their email system works, its just flat out ridiculous in 2012.

[Nexus 7 General] AngusTutnbull:
I was at game stop yesterday handing over my old xbox360 to preorder another n7 and the manager there explained to me that the original street date was the 12th, but because of legal trouble with apple (of which i was skeptical because i was fairly certain it was only with the GN and apple) they were told to delay it until further notice.

later i called google and to the best of their knowledge there was nothing between the n7 and apple. not only that but they also verified for me that google actually has MORE than enough stock. i explained to the CS man that i was moving to the uk permanently from the us on the 26th and i needed to ensure that the tablet i ordered from the playstore would arrive on time, he pretty much guaranteed me id get it on time.

P.S. i preordered from the play store on july 2nd :good:
