I just called Google, and the guy I laid into (I could tell he was used to it, I didnt go off on him but I pretty much vented about how crappy this is) told me 8 gigs for the most part were shipped out Friday, and 16 gigs would be shipped out tomorrow. AND that anything with an accessory would start on Tuesday. This is just stupid. Companies KNOW how people are about their tech devices, especially people who take the time to preorder, yet they always screw around when people will get theirs, and make it so people who ordered first have to wait longer than many who didnt. It just makes no sense. And I dont understand how people can just walk in to stores and buy them, I live in MIami, and nothing like this is EVER in stock. Anything that is even somewhat slightly in demand you cant get anywhere but online. Where do you people live, Nebraska lol? Im jealous, I wish just once I could buy something I wanted without having to deal with paying shipping costs just to wait LONGER to get what I want...
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Really? What launch? (Not flippant, I haven't pre-ordered from them much... Just the iPad 2.)

Regardless, I'll bet they could tell you where your order was if you contacted them. Really seems strange and unfortunately amateurish Google has no idea of the true status of some orders. (Or why they appear to be processed willy nilly. Just wanted to say willy nilly. :D)
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Oh, I went through this same crap with my Iphone 4. I preordered from Best Buy like right away, and I didnt get mine till over a week after release date, because Apple wanted to send their preorders out first AND put a ton in their stores (which of course I would have had to get in line three days before release date here in Miami to even have a chance at buying, too many damn people here with money to spend). After that I said I would always preorder straight from the source, which is why I ordered from Google instead of Gamestop. Jokes on me, huh? My local Gamestop said they already had tablets for people who preordered, I bet if I had preordered from them I would have mine now..
[Nexus 7 General] dbraba01:
I live in Nebraska and haven't seen mine yet. It will be here tomorrow though. Staples ordered on the ninth and shipped out on the thirteenth.

[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
According to the rep I just spoke to, you have to wait longer than me (who ordered July 4h), because you had the audacity to order a case along with it!!! He just said any orders with accessories will ship tuesday, and that 16 gigs without acc. will ship tomorrow (hopefully that will be me). And 8 gigs shipped friday (which is why the guy above who ordered july 5th will get his before both of us). They are going to pay for this, I will get extra credit back from them to cover the shipping, I dont care if I have to call every rep that works there...

Personally, I'm glad other people got theirs and was disappointed Google stopped other retailers from selling them.

However, I do expect they know where a $300+ order is in their system, and if not allow me the ability to cancel it.
[Nexus 7 General] chriszak:
Have you received a tracking number yet? Do you know which company Google Canada is using to ship these out?

I ordered a 16GB one on June 28th and I have not been charged or received any email updates on my order other than the initial one from Google Canada getting mu order.

Hoping for an update tomorrow.

:good:
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
I'm sorry, but I can't help it lol. I dont think it's childish to want fairness and for companies to abide by the rule of thumb "first come first serve". If you are in line at the bank, and the teller let's someone who walks in get in front of you just because, wouldn't you be pissed or at least say something? Would you think that's childish too? I am not arguing with you at all, I always feel like a petty child when I get pissed about something like this, trust me, based on the fact that people out there have real problems and hardships, but, I am willing to give myself a pass because I think this could be easily avoided by companies if they just put a little thought and effort into pleasing the customer. :)

The more you spent the more Google doesn't care about you....
[Nexus 7 General] Blainedh:
I completely understand that. It's perfectly reasonable to be disappointed or frustrated with the situation. My biggest peeve with all of this are unloading onto some poor CSR who has no control over the shipping line.

Lodge complaints in a mature manner. It's fine to be disappointed, it's childish to get so angry you lay into someone just because they work for Google.

What do you mean about the Staples, sorry, I didnt understand that part? Did you preorder from Staples also? Or did you call them and they told you that their preorders shipped the 13th? Thats what I should have done : (

[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
I agree. And when I did call, I just basically told the guy what I've been saying on here, and didn't blame or yell at him at all. I've worked as a customer service rep for Tracfone, so I know what it's like. I'm with you there. It just helps a bit to come on here and whine a bit with others who are going through the same thing. I know that isn;t the purpose of this thread though, it's to get info from others about shipping/receiving dates, but it does help to hear I'm not alone at being disappointed.

Oh, here's my chance to ask a question, will this tablet be able to view flash websites? I know that the stock browser Chrome doesnt support flash, but as of now, can we download other browsers and view flash?
[Nexus 7 General] drpfenderson:
Hahahaha. Just read this article from Reuters. Seems GameStop gets no more allotments for a while, and many Sam's Clubs and Staples are sold out.

I want to see the look on all the entitled children's faces who were crying "I'M CANCELING MY PREORDER AND GOING TO THE STORE" when they get there and there are no more units. :D

Priceless.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I believe you can download and install flash.

(If Google gets you your tablet before August 15th. ;))
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
I'd laugh too but you do know they haven't let people cancel pre-orders for over a week...

No. Flash doesn't work on JB 4.1x, and AFAIK, nobody has gotten it to work.

Every post I've seen about people sideloading Flash said it crashes the browser. All browsers.

Pretty funny that the article is 2 days old, and said stores are still selling N7's as of today.
[Nexus 7 General] Blainedh:
utpiat near

I don't think that's unreasonable and I'm not harping on you. I'm definitely not singling anyone out it's just there has been a more intense theme over the last couple days in this thread and it's becoming just silly.
[Nexus 7 General] kettlecorn:
Order on 7/11 and Google rep said because of the time I placed the order it will be here next week or 2 days into the week after that.

fuuuuuuhhh

i wonder if he meant this coming week like starting tomorrow as "next week" or actually starting the 23rd of july
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I actually wish you were right, but that thread is 2 weeks old and before the N7 came out. I know there is a thread somewhere here where everyone that tried it on the N7 said it crashed every browser they tried.

The post from RMXO said he put it on his Nexus 7 that he got from Google I/O.

"Yes, you can install Adobe Flash & Air. I've installed both on my device"
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Yeah if this is true it's pretty funny.

8GB that we make the least money on? We'll get that out to you ASAP!

Oh you'd like to spend $50 for another 8GB of flash that costs us less than $10? Hmm you can wait a little longer.

You'd also like some high-margin accessories with that? F U bottom of the list.

I know Google is probably not dumb enough to do this so intentionally but it is pretty hilarious.

I will add that RMXO is one of the more credible hackers. He - and the author of stickmount - basically solved the problem of using external memory on the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] misanthropic777:
This is irritating me. I got my number on friday, but UPS has no record of it yet. That means (per my husband who worked there) that UPS doesn't have it in hand, which means it won't go out until Monday, which via 2-day means I will get my device on Wednesday rather than even Tuesday, despite ordering it within 2 hours of going live on the play store.

They are going to get a blistering response from me and after this debacle I will NEVER pre-order from google again.
[Nexus 7 General] shakinginboots:
As of right now I don't have an update on the 16gb N7 I ordered from the Gp store on 7/6.

I did however go to GameStop yesterday and ordered another 16gb (for a gift). I was able to trade in my old classic iPod that I had laying around at home and they gave me 50% on top of the original trade in value. Therefore I ended up paying less than the price of a 8gb for the unit. This is including tax :). No complains right here. They're hoping to have the 3rd wave by August 7th.

Hopefully our toys get here soon guys! :)

Cool. I use Dolphin mostly too. This thread seems to indicate that Flash is unstable at best. The first 2 pages started out promising, but the last 2 show mostly nothing but issues. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Might point out Flash is none too stable on PCs either. I keep getting the banner "Warning - Flash has crashed". Maybe 3 times today, and that is not unusual. Jobs was a twit about a lot of things, but his feelings about Flash were pretty accurate. HTML5 for the win!
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Good summary pretty much, I thanked you.

But note that there is STILL no activity for Play orders outside of the US. None for the UK, Canada or Australia. We are Play customers too, and we are still in the dark.

Also, I see absolutely no reason why Google would hold back on sales because of concern a court order MIGHT be coming.

If anything, it should propel them to get units out as quick as possible.

I don't disagree with anything here. Unfortunately though, too many sites still use Flash. :/

This thread reminds me of a Thread in another forum I am a member at, except that thread was for the Lottery (Powerball-USA) when it was at $600M+. The chances of any one of us in the thread winning it was slim to noneish, but it didn't matter.

Just the energy in the thread, and the excitement was just something to behold. Same with this thread. Yea, we may be getting a little giddy and some may say stupid, but ya know what? Screw it, we're all having fun waiting for a common goal - our nice $200 powerful ass tablets.

Personally, I'm having fun reading all your replies and posts. The spirits are good in this thread, so **** anyone that says we're like kids or whatever. It's a feelgood thread.
[Nexus 7 General] pittphan:
yes, I did as well. I had a pending charge that dissapeared early last week. Nothing right now.

I think it will ship this week, but I am really hoping it's Wednesday at the latest... otherwise we are SOL until next week.

I am hopeful though. I would just like to see my card get charged again!

That's hilariously wrong, becuase I've called the local stores in my area. Staples: both are sold out. Gamestop: None in stock. Sam's Club: There isn't one within 100 miles of me...so, SOL. And I live in one of the biggest metro areas on the entire West Coast.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Well one of the problems is that you were in the dark when USA started shipping late Friday.

Your Google offices were already closed for the weekend...

Expect better luck in a few hours when your offices open on Monday.

Still wonder about Canada though...
[Nexus 7 General] Luxferro:
Same thing with my pre-order. Got email w/ tracking number saying it shipped on friday... but the tracking number still doesn't register on UPS.

Seems like to me Google just tried to pull a fast one to pacify all the angry people who complained about not having their preorders before stores started to sell them.

[Nexus 7 General] impulse630:
So i also pre-ordered on the 27th (during the keynote presentation) - i purchased a 16gb Nexus with a case. Apparently, like others who ordered accessories, i haven't gotten a charge on my credit card or shipping confirmation. I just called Google and they gave me the same information they've told most peole: "Pre-orders are shipping. We have no information on individual orders. All orders that haven't shipped should ship this week or early next week." I told him that i was aware of that, but i was concerned that since i had ordered a case which now shows as backordered that my entire order would be delayed until the cases come in. He put me on hold and said:

1) Accessories would be shipped with the Nexus 7

2) Since i ordered on day 1 and they DID have cases in stock at that time, my order would NOT be delayed by the case

So, what i'm getting jives with what someone previously posted - for some reason they're shipping by contents of order, not by date ordered (i.e. 8gb shipped on Friday, 16gb ship on Monday, and orders with accessories that are in stock ship on Tuesday). This makes no sense since those of us who ordered a 16gb device with accessories spent more money on higher margin items. If this is true, i'm disappointed, but i still am not convinced that they have ANY cases in stock, and i have this sinking feeling that my Nexus will be delayed for quite some time since i ordered a case with it. I hope i'm wrong.

[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Really ? Where did you get the information about Google Canada office hours ?

And I wonder how much more they needed than someone to call UPS and say "start shipping". It's not like Google employees walked into the shippers with thousands of packages on Friday, it was planned in advance.

I've sent 2 messages to them via Play, July 9 and 12 and they haven't responded at all.

I get the impression they have a tiny office. And just ignoring simple emails feels insulting. No other online vendor has ever ignored me or taken half this long to respond.
[Nexus 7 General] bdbogart:
I was told the exact same thing when I called. I had the same feeling as you - there are actually no cases and my order won't ship until they become available. If that was the case I'd order a new one to get it sooner.

But google says the case was in stock when I ordered as well (16gb + case on 6/27 at 330pm PST) and that it should be on it's way. I have heard nothing from Google or UPS, and my card hasn't been charged.

AUSTRALIA NEWS FLASH

Credit card charged!!!. Not a precharge etc. The full amount, this morning. This is evidence that they are shipping at least today.

I will be expecting it tomorrow or Wednesday.

[charges generally post to your credit/debit card after your order has shipped, usually within a few days]
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I've seen posted on this site that you can download and install flash on android devices until sometime in August. I hope it works on the Nexus 7 because my iPad does not do flash at all.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Forgive me if it's been said, but I'm just realizing now:

I imagine boxes were pre-packaged, but not pre-addressed ? So some boxes had an 8 GB unit only. And some had an 8 GB with cover ? And same for 16 GB units ?

So they might have, for example, 100 w/ 8 GB alone, 20 w/ 8 GB and cover, 100 w/ 16 GB, 30 w/ 16 GB and cover...

And it was easier to deal with all 8 GB alone boxes on one day, and the other boxes on other days ?

Seems to make sense from a logistics point of view.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Woohoo ! :)

So it's Monday morning there now... Hope we see the same here in Canada soon.

What exactly did you order and when ?
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Indeed this is OT but at first I was happy that Flash was coming to Android and now I just want it to go away. Flash 11 is the worst. Crashes constantly and it also ruined streaming audio by screwing up CMSS somehow.

Basically Creative drivers will expand stereo sound to all speakers, but if a naughty program sends blank surround channels instead of just stereo then it can't do it. I had to revert to an older version to get sound coming out of all speakers again. Suck junk.
[Nexus 7 General] impulse630:
Probably from a logistics standpoint, it would be simpler, i agree. From a customer-service standpoint, it's disappointing. And i suppose that a good shipping department should look at how to get the most product into the most customers' hands as quickly as possible. However, being one of the poor schmucks whose order didn't ship (and who's seeing others who ordered after him getting theirs' shipped first) it's disappointing. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

[Nexus 7 General] b0bness:
People need to calm down... I got my 16gb shipped on Friday and I ordered July 1st, which I thought was pushing it for first wave. People who ordered on the 7th or later really have no place to complain. You should have ordered sooner, that's how these things work.

That being said, I feel bad for those who ordered early and bought cases. They obviously should have had a better system in place for orders with added accessories. :/
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Qualification: Adobe removes Flash from the Android Market in August. If you download by then, you keep it forever.

No guarantee on how long browsers support it though.
