Why would you buy a device where buy stuff on the play store if you refused to buy stuff on the internet.
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
Won't ship till next week.
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
Yeah, I ordered mine on the 28th the day it was announced GameStop was taking pre-orders. Why should I be penalized just because I wanted to buy through a store? I like going to pick games and gadgets up myself. If it were possible, I would have done the same when I ordered my GSM GNex this past weekend.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
I wasn't crying at all. I just wanted to clear up what a preorder meant so there weren't anymore posts about how they deserve X and Y from Google.

I'm patiently waiting for my tablet isn't of giving out false information like you do constantly with your "I know it will come out on this day" or "From what everyone is saying it will come out on this day".
[Nexus 7 General] Nickcu13:
I think most of us just want those who ordered first to get it first. Wherever it be from. We just dont want people to walk in and pick it up before we get our pre-order. Does that make sense?

ALSO!

I dont know if anybody has posted this yet, but the call center now has a disclaimer about the nexus 7 shipments before you can even talk to a rep haha.

I'm not mad at all, but it's fine if you think that.
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
The majority of folks act like they are entitled to it first.

Personally, I could care less who gets it first. But my thing is not even shipping to the retailers until the play orders were out would only delay us further than necessary, that's mainly what I was getting at. Until I can get it, I will just continue drop kicking hookers in the vagina on Saints Row the Third.

Just says that nexus preorders will be shipping soon and you will receive an email confirmation with tracking number when it does.
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
By the end of your typing that you were starting to get a feel that it made as little, if not less sense than the argument of the people you were attempting to mock right? :D
[Nexus 7 General] mr1ncred1ble:
not giving up the box, and don't want to take our phone calls...I know that feeling

as far as getting it first or whatever, I wouldn't have gotten frustrated if g store orders shipped first. I am frustrated tho that mine is right down the street I paid for it and I can't get it because x reason that no one knows. And by the way I "pre-ordered" too on july 4. I just happened to do it a b&m so I should get mine before someone who ordered on g store july 5th...kinda silly aint it...GOOGLE, let the product out so people can say how awesome it is and the topic can change. Also they should allow cancelations and let people get 'em locally, it would free up stock if they're running short. it's already obviously screwed up, figure out how to make it work for as many customers as you can.
[Nexus 7 General] knitnerd:
Play Store

At this point, posting tracking numbers of your eBuyer and Adorama tracking numbers isn't really helping - it's just making those of us who ordered on the Play Store two weeks ago more insane. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] oldspook:
Sorry to join so late. Has any Google pre-orders been shipped yet?

I pre-ordered on June 28 and haven't heard anything from Google and card has not been charged.
[Nexus 7 General] ben dover:
Google Play Customer Service is probably the only branch of Google hating the release of the Nexus 7 :)

yeah, I know but I ordered one from The Play Store too, and earlier today people wanted me to keep them updated with both of my orders.

Pre-Recored message about nexus
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
Nope. Still makes sense to me when I read it. I'm just trying to say that if you pretend that other stores aren't selling the Nexus 7 there would be no complaints. Just pretend each retailer is it's own little world and you won't stress out as much.
[Nexus 7 General] patricdhawaan:
I just got a credit card charge notification about the pre order. I had placed the pre order on 6/27 when the link went live (before the keynote had started). Hopefully the tracking number is forthcoming by this time tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
I agree.

I am a Play Store Preorderee (If that is a word) from the first. I did think that we deserved it first, coming straight from the source. HOWEVER I am totally against the thought that your devices are sitting there in stores, but you aren't allowed to get them because google wants to give ours to us first. It isn't fair. If they wanted us to have them before retailers, they should have sent them to us first so that things like this wouldn't occur. I wish that you gamestop and other people that have your devices sitting in the stores should be able to get them as soon as they arrived. It isn't fair for google to take out their mistakes on other people.
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Well IMO thats the better way to say it than the first attempt but hey no love lost. I hear you, at the same time, just like that pre-order recording of googles saying each retailers order is subject to their own policies and all that is valid but hard to respect when theyre policies arent the ones being implemented and they are calling said retailers to make sure they are following googles policies not their own.

PostScript: Honestly, at this point the way i feel is still that because there was a insinuation from google (even if only by omission of further detail) that the play store was the only place to get the device for preorder. That being said its a resonable expectation for ppl to think they will get it before anyone who ordered from anywhere else because many ppl were under the impression there was no where else to order from. Now the way things have developed I honestly would just assume google let anyone who has stock sell it, its crazy to make them hold it in the manner they are doing, if i was going to be the first to get it through the play store i want it to be because it was planned that way from the begginning and executed properly and not in some strange game of catch up by way of slowing down everyone else.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
By "just got a credit card charge" do you mean for the first time? and if so when and whurr are you? :P
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:

Just let the retailers sell 'em Google. You're just frustrating everyone.

27th Google Play preorderer
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
the voice sounded like a brit. where is this? UK or US? I think GS has the same number for both.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
What makes it worse is they told them to sell them on July 12th (I assume so anyway, multiple stores were touting that date), and literally hours before they were like "LOL JK, we messed up, don't sell them." :P

[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Given that Google has been doing what they do best - saying nothing - why do you say the retail hold is so preorders go first? Speculation here does not count, and Google has not said that.
[Nexus 7 General] madreasonable:
Lol, we all know it's gonna ship soon. We just want to know what their definition of soon IS. Soon might not be soon enough.

Sent from me
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
Yeah because just last night, on the 11th, just before they closed, mine still had a street date of 7/12. Needless to say I was a little disappointed when I went this morning, especially knowing it is sitting in the back at my GameStop.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
I'm in the US just dialed the US play support number. 855-836-3987

Also in Cincinnati and ordered on the 27th, let me know when yours ships :D
[Nexus 7 General] patricdhawaan:
Google had pre authorized the charge on 6/27. Got the actual charge notification a little while ago from the card issuer. I'm in the NY metro area.
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
on second thought. yes. you're right
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
U sure it isn't a auth charge again???

[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
When did you order?
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
You are right to a degree but we need to be able to read between the lines. Google has remained silent, to us, but to its Retail Partners obviously there were certain expectations they were led to believe and having worked for a while in many of the bigger names in tech retail I can tell you that it truly is a partnership and exhcange of information is critical, especially when customer loyalty is on the line. The point is the retailers didnt make up that they were initally told they could sell on the 12th, thats not speculation and googles failure to execute the release as swiftly as they should have shouldnt mean that it has to bring its retail partners down to its level and, at least in customers mind, make them all culpable and just as responsible for keeping people guessing.
[Nexus 7 General] nareik91:
Sounds British to me too, and I'm a Brit. It has a northern UK twang to it though. I wouldn't say it sounds Aussie at all!

And I really shouldn't be up this late. Will probably call Google tomorrow since some people will be receiving their ebuyer orders. Our Support number is Irish though, guess I'll use Skype so I don't pay international charges...
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Half the retailer responses were that it was a hold due to a lawsuit or patents. We know that to be false; they just want an excuse to tell their customers.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
30 Jun originally, Google wallet showed 1 Jul. Called today to cancel my 8gb. Rep sent me a notification and that it may take up to 2 days to get email confirmation. Ordered a 16gb from play store when I got off the phone. Got my cancellation confirmation email just now (about 9 hours later).
[Nexus 7 General] mr1ncred1ble:
some can, some can't or you couldn't before but you can now, shipping soon not shipping till insert date here. That's another thing the overall inconsistency of the whole scenario..not really mad, and I can wait..I'm grown, i've got toys to play with...but i think it's silly and I don't like having my hard earned money played with.

[Nexus 7 General] Agallion:
Order july 9, no auth charge yet for me.:(
[Nexus 7 General] Nickcu13:
actually, that is very likely accurate.

We know Nokia is in ligitation talks about the patents on the Nexus 7. And Apple is suing about the unified search in the Galaxy Nexus, which is likely the same in the Nexus 7. Perhaps Google is addressing both of these issues before they release it to the public

Also, when i asked about the delay due to litigation issues they told me they "could not comment" which means there is something about it.

So its probably true.

I am now angry with my bank. I usually don't care, but my bank is *supposed* to alert me like this but they are *super* slow. I've got an alert after it's already fully posted AND I've paid for it. I have another card I use during travel that emails me within seconds when a charge hits. (American Express)
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
Agreed but missing the point, they shouldnt have to be in a position where they feel the need to give an excuse to their customers because they shouldnt have to be guessing about a launch date because google should have either kept the date they initially gave them and if that wasnt possible keep them updated with speed and proper info so they can relay that info to customers.

After seeing how Google handled their stock offering and the way they are handling their pre-orders, I no longer want to have anything to do with them. I'll be leaving a note on my front door informing deliver guys that I refuse delivery of any shipments from Google or Asus.

I had wanted to try an android device but I'll stick to Apple from now on.
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
Fight the power!
[Nexus 7 General] patricdhawaan:
It could be, however it is in the same bunch of pending charges that I got items delivered on from Amazon today for example. I think it is a pending charge since the batch settlement may not have taken place yet.
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
yeah, don't know what the deal is. The stuff for instant spend alerts is all over their website when you search, but when I go to my alert settings it is not there.

Plus, I can't figure out how to see authorizations...I know they happen, but I can't see them on the web portal. They suck, but if you want AA miles, you have to deal with it.

I'm glad this pro-American patent polava doesn't affect England. I wonder if unified search was around in 2004...
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
None of that matters and none of it has any bearing on hardware, Google already released OTA updates to adress the unified search patent and lastly, companies dont withold a product in anticipation of a injunction possibly being requested, if one was filed, we would know, and they still wouldnt hold release unless it was filed/accepted and ordered by the judge.

[Nexus 7 General] heat361:
The galaxy nexus phone is up order and has the same ship date which is unusual because they usually send those out quickly.
