Unfortunately the only place I've seen it is on the Play store. Asus said more are coming in different colors but I haven't seen a firm release date.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Good point. There is no answer, at least none a sane person could wrap their head around.
[Nexus 7 General] mtbgus:
Seriously anyone from the UK with no CC charges made and no info from play store, ring them up on 0800 328 6081 and cancel your order. head over to Tescos and if you sign up as new customer and enter this code TDX-KPHM you'll get the tablet for £189, go to your local Tescos the next day and pick it up.

The other code that gave £20 off yesterday got rejected for most of us who ordered yesterday and all of a sudden Tesco were out of stock, back in stock now they've sorted the error out!!!!! But hey, £189 instead of £208.99 from play store, it's a no brainer.

I pick my £189 nexus 7 up tomorrow from my local Tesco.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
So I've decided I'm going to Staples and going to chance it. I can't use any card cashback because you can't buy online and pick up in store. Any in store coupons out there that work on tablets?

EDIT: Received my Blurex case for the Nexus 7 yesterday. I can't complain too much because it was only $6 shipped, but this case is well below the normal Blurex standards. The quality and design is not impressive. I'd suggest spending a little more on another case.
[Nexus 7 General] netiseret:
As a suggestion for anyone that hasn't received their package, wants to refuse, or really do anything [pertaining to the UPS side of things], I would suggest always calling and talking to an actual person at the customer centers (where the trucks get dispatched). They usually have the best information and are an actual person. I switched my package to will call last night and if I had done it online it would have showed me receiving the package on Monday, which is not true at all. The Nexus 7 is sitting right there in the center waiting for 9 am to roll around so I can go get it. Just my two-cents! Plus, the people have access to more information than you can see online.

WOOO feel like a kid on Christmas. Also, never got an e-mail from Google just Google Wallet and My UPS tracking number. Sign up for that if you haven't yet.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

And in hindsight it's actually pretty amazing that UPS can have a package on a plane in Kentucky at 3 am and have it on a truck in Florida all by 7 am o_o ... And Google tried a couple of times to pass blame to UPS for this ordeal. pah
[Nexus 7 General] kirbfucius:
No communication from Google other than the mass email, but my CC account has been charged and MyUPS sent me a message about a package from Google coming in today between 12 & 4. So... hopefully this will all just be a bad memory by this afternoon.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Google should give I/O packages to anyone that ordered during June and doesn't have a tracking number yet.

(Yeah, right. :rolleyes:)

Of course the first thing I'd do is put the Q on eBay.
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
UPS is just embarrassing Google when it comes to logistics. Just schooling them.
[Nexus 7 General] slivingston:
I live in silver spring, md and still waiting on an update from the Play store. I ordered mine on the 16th though. When did you order yours?
[Nexus 7 General] CloudDog23:
Turned up my house at 12:30 (ish)

The transit box was damaged, as noted by the TNT guy on the delivery form, but the Nexus box was undamaged.

had I not been reading this thread my device would have turned up when I expected it to turn up.
[Nexus 7 General] drewwegand:
The 29th....the UPS tracking still hasn't budged from label created on the 12th...
[Nexus 7 General] ddialogue:
bleclair, It's been fun hanging out with the rest of you Juner's but I've had it. I'm taking my N7 and going home! :D

(My N7 is out for delivery today!)

N7 + case ordered 6/28
[Nexus 7 General] galaxyjeff:
That case though it's made with the Asus logo is very cheapy looking. Here's a review of it :

[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Happy for ya man! Heading to Staples this morning to hopefully pick one up. F#*# Google Play.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Now that it seems the Google Play Store orders are having issues too, I'm looking for one locally in my town. Too bad I live in an hour from anything worthwhile. Nothing in this town has crap. Out of both Gamestops, there was only one pre-order and it was for an employee. They got zero extras. Probably just have to wait some more I guess. /sigh
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Is there a Staples or Office Depot there? We're in a very rural area here (Mendocino County, NW CA), but our local Staples (Ukiah, CA) has some in stock, there is one GameStop in Ukiah too, but none there. Walmart doesn't carry them in store, so that's it for our area, the next nearest place would be Windsor, 60 miles south.
[Nexus 7 General] chosen14u:
Ah damn, hopefully you get it today.

Concord, ON, Canada	07/20/2012	9:01 A.M.	Destination Scan

should be any time this morning/afternoon! If I don't get it today I'm going to staples and buying one.
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
funny i cancelled yesterday and i just got a email from google saying you cant cancel it now funny lol.
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
I'm still amazed that I havent got any information accept the mass email they sent, they did finally reply and tell me I couldnt cancel my order (of course) but that I could refuse the package and my money would be fully refunded in about 14 days once they get the package back. Otherwise the tablet moved up the list on the play store and I have a pending charge, but that was two days ago that this happened and STILL no activity otherwise, so glad I bought mine at Sams on Monday cause this is just stupid, have to wait forever just to say take it back, if it still hasnt shipped Google you should be able to CANCEL! ugh
[Nexus 7 General] lexcyn:
Yup mine updated early this morning:

Concord, ON, Canada	07/20/2012	12:12 A.M.	Arrival Scan

Now it's only 4 hours away from me ... but no updates since midnight has me worried.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
If you are not going to be home, leave a note on the door including the ups tracking code and that you are refusing the shipment.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
Still nothing....no emails from GPS, Wallet or UPS (MyUPS account).

Credit card charge from the 18th is still just a pending charge, and hasn't fully cleared.
[Nexus 7 General] wublaze:
Write up this morning to find out that its on the truck. I don't know how I'll get through the work day while trying to look productive. Good luck to everyone else who is waiting.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
First Staples that said in stock was a nogo, got one at the second.

Expecting my Google Play tracking any minute now.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I wasn't able to leave a note today. So I just went it and had them hold it at the hub. I would have had to take it there if it was delivered anyway, so I will go there to pick it up or I gues go and say I refuse it.
[Nexus 7 General] SSK_:
Canada, 16GB, Ordered on 27th here.

Do they really mean 25th, or will they likely get it to me by Monday?

:(
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
No, the 25th is the official scheduled date for the delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] netiseret:
Just got mine! So awesome, as ****ty as the pre-order experience is the device is superb. No problems with my unit as I just get done with my hour and a half inspection (no screen defects, no dead pixels, no bleeding, no washing out, no shadowing, good sound, and it's fast as FUH) WOOOO! Hang in there and adios!
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
I wanted to celebrate my 1000 post on this thread cause its such a famous thread now took many years to get here lol.
[Nexus 7 General] drewwegand:
OK so has anyone else in here had this thing just sit at Label Created all day because that's what I have there is no estimated arrival date anywhere, WTF?

in US btw
[Nexus 7 General] dephyre:
Pre-Ordered on 6-27, with case and pogo dock for my Galaxy Nexus, no updates in Google wallet, funds were held immediately, then put back the same day, then held again on 7-17, then put back this morning, called GP about 10mins ago (after a 1½ hour hold) and, was told the order was in a 'chargeable' state, and pretty much read the exact notification we all received, gotta say I'm a bit furious.
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
This thread is about the Nexus 7, not the Galaxy Nexus. Which are you referring to?
[Nexus 7 General] jrmatics:
:) Oh snap UPS just delivered it 10 minutes ago.
[Nexus 7 General] dephyre:
Ah, excuse me, Nexus 7, and the acc's I mentioned.
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
I just don't know what the pogo dock is, that's why I was confused.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Yep...if it doesn't happen to arrive today expect Monday
[Nexus 7 General] Wintermute1:
I have the same message...

In US as well. Got shipping number at 2:40 am. Says label was printed on July 6!

No change from that point to now (10:54 EST).

Thinking this odyssey will continue forever...
[Nexus 7 General] Alyarbank:
Their Wallet and gmail is very slow to refresh, I installed the "My choice UPS" app as others in this thread had suggested and I got an email from UPS this morning telling me a package is scheduled to be delivered to my house today between 2:30pm - 4:30pm. From GOOGLE

My Google Wallet has just updated about an hour ago and I still haven't received an email to notify me it was shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] lanwarrior:
Couple of things I want to share with everyone:

1). Google N7 order update website stated the following

Below are more specific details by country for devices ordered through July 13. If the below information is not true for you, and you ordered on or before July 13, please reach out to our support team so we can investigate.

In the US:

If you ordered your tablet with a case, charger or Nexus Q, your Nexus 7 will ship this week with overnight shipping, in some cases ahead of the rest of your order. But don’t worry, the rest of your order will be on its way soon.

Today is Friday, and my credit card has not even been charged, so again... Google is lying to the customer who pre-ordered. I tried to call and has been on hold for 1 hour... true since yesterday too

2). How to cancel you order

I am giving Google until close of business today, then I'll cancel the order. I THINK I found out the way of doing this:

If you go to your Google Wallet account and DELETE ALL credit card, including the one used for N7 pre-order, a message will pop-up, saying something about "This will affect your Nexus 7 order". So basically, deleting the credit card will PREVENT Google from charging me since the credit card information is...well... gone.

You MUST delete ALL credit cards though, lest Google will just re-charge your other credit card.
[Nexus 7 General] exohuman:
Nothing since generic email

I have had to call to get any updates on this thing. I ordered mine back in June on the first day of pre-orders. I still have no tablet and every time I called they told me it would ship the next day. Yesterday, they said they wanted in our hands before the weekend. They only withdrew the money last night and I still don't have a UPS tracking code. UPS doesn't deliver on weekends (stupid for a shipping company) so I won't have my device untill sometime next week (and that's assuming I get a tracking code today).

This is absolutely the worst pre-order experience I have ever had in my entire life and one I refuse to repeat. Google needs to prove they can launch a product. Till then, I'll never pre-order through them again. Seriously, how hard can it be to put the item in the box and ship it? If the case is the delay, then send it later. Why is this so difficult for them?
[Nexus 7 General] dgattenb:
Yip XXXX EEE

Ordered 30 June Google play UK

Chased up countless time said TNT had it from the 19th July , They had it from the 20th at 00.42 I know cause the statement told me !

Anyway , it arrived ( 8GB ) in my paws at 14.33 today in Cardiff land

I turned it on

it knows me ... mmm I have my CD **** stand for it .. ( it sits in the spool .. fab .. saw it on you tube ) .. now all i need is a case ..

Ahh stuff:

transformers film

and 15 quid to spend in play

It's been nice nesting in this thread .. lets get out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Moohbear:
My order shipped yesterday (Nexus 7 16 GB) for delivery in Canada. I already bought one from Canada Computers and I wanted to cancel the pre-order, but the Wife liked it so much she asked for one. Should be here on Tuesday, probably going to pick it up on Wednesday.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I'm just curious, if you're here in NorCal, why did you order from a Canadian company?

Edit-Wow, now that was a quick move, Davis, California to Toronto, Ontario in just a couple of minutes! ;) :D
[Nexus 7 General] Dazzh82:
Still had no update on order.

16gb UK ordered on 28th June. Doesn't look like ill be getting it anytime soon.:mad:
[Nexus 7 General] Moohbear:
I saw that, I'm getting old. I was in NorCal when I signed up here. I was using a HTC P3600 at the time. I've been in Toronto for some years now, but haven't updated my profile. It's done now.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Lol No worries, I was just curious ;) I'm in NorCal myself, in Redwood Valley, about halfway between Ukiah and Willits in Mendocino County.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Sorry, man... I'm in the same boat. What an experience. I think one of the problems is the CSRs just tell you anything which is not acceptable. If they don't have any information they should just say that instead of promising all of these things they can't deliver. It just makes it worse.

I ordered minutes after the link went up on the 27th and I've still got nothing but empty promises. I was lucky enough to see Staples finally had some in my area and the 2nd store I went to had one. This tablet had better be amazing, and I will bad mouth the Google Play store to anyone that will listen unless Google does something amazing for us. (Which is highly unlikely.)
[Nexus 7 General] TahrirSquare:
Am I the only US based guy in thread? Anyways my 16 GB ordered on July 3rd is out for delivery, should be here in an hour or 2.

You're not even close to the last US. My June 28th order is still a complete mystery to me.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Got an interesting email from Blurex this morning... I had jumped on the $6 case on Amazon and received it yesterday finding it worth... approximately $6.

However, this is a very nice gesture, and the new case has a magnet!

[Nexus 7 General] mario24601:
Finally got my 16gb ordered from PS on July 3. I tried to cancel order but could never get through to CS...well glad I finally got it. Like others, opening damn box was a pain, had to rip it open, sleeve will not come off. Box was a little beat up but N7 seems fine, can't see any dead pixels and don't see any separation yet, but will look closer today. I do like it so far, the scrolling of chrome and FB seems a little jittery...I know should not compare but compared to my iPad 3 browsing the net is not as smooth, this was the one thing I was really hoping to be as good as iPad. Maybe a different browser works better? Any recommendations?

6/27 16gb+case USA.

Forget it, I'm done. They promised overnight shipping to me over the phone yesterday afternoon. Nothing. MyUPS has no record of anything as of 10:30am this morning.

I just called my local Sam's and they have 12 in stock.

Done.

Google, if yours ever arrives it's getting refused or going on ebay.

Also, as mad as I am, this is definitely a 1st-world problem. Even if I never got one I'm more blessed than most people, and the fact I can get online and complain about not receiving a gadget on time just proves that. I need some ******* perspective and unfortunately this morning I received it. My heart goes out to Colorado, the victims, and the families.

Almost 90 minutes on hold with PS only to be told "It should ship this week".

These people are complete idiots!!!
[Nexus 7 General] mario24601:
Sorry forgot to mention, in US, Los Angeles area. Once they shipped, they did sent it overnight but still not cool they took so long.
[Nexus 7 General] Wintermute1:
No - you are not alone!

I am waiting for a 6/29 ordered 8Gb N7. I got shipping information at 2:40 am, and a tracking number that says "ready for UPS", but has not been updated since: 7/12/2012!

I don't know what they are doing, but I have been billed. They now officially owe me money unless it shows up today.

Worst pre-order experience ever.
[Nexus 7 General] vkapadia:
WOW! This tablet is AWESOME!

Here's my unboxing.

The package:

Contents of the package:

Nexus 7 box! The reports are correct, this was insane to open! Just getting the slide cover off was near impossible. Then theres a couple pieces of tape that are easily cut through, but then the box cover is extremely snug on the box bottom.

And here's the Nexus 7!

Nexus 7 with box and all contents:

I'm loving this thing so much! For those of you that haven't received theirs yet, keep up hope. It will come soon and is totally worth the wait.

I'm going to be calling Google to try to get a refund on shipping, will tell you how it goes.

______

Ordered on July 6, 9:20AM Pacific, 16GB, no case.

Credit card hold July 18, 3:20PM PST, Google Play order moved to top of list.

Shipping email July 19, 11:48PM PST, with tracking number.

Out for delivery July 19, 7:01AM PST.

ARRIVED July 19, 12:26PM PST!!!
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
June 29th order in Canada and absolutely nothing happening yet. 3 week commitment broken unless something happens today, which I doubt.

I still don't get why they can't meet a commitment to me before shipping out July orders everywhere else in the world and selling tons of them in stores here.

Incompetence or indifference or both I guess take your pick.
[Nexus 7 General] klyang88:
6/28 u.s 16 gb order'er here. havent received any emails from google or nothing. i do not understand why people ordering in july is getting it before i do... mine shoulda have been shipped last friday!
[Nexus 7 General] splbound:
Alright Recived my first one. 16GB Ordered on 29th Play Store London UK.

Damn thing didn't give me my play store credit, will have to reset and try again.

Still waiting on the one I ordered on the 6th.
[Nexus 7 General] drewwegand:
SUPER PISSED!! I waited on hold for an 90 mins to find out that my 16gb order placed 6/29 is shipped but they aren't sure when it will be here and the tracking number give me has given me no updates and neither has MYUPS wtf!

Are you kidding me, train derailment...how many damn planes and trains does it take to deliver ...Screw you UPS/Google
[Nexus 7 General] chen_tso:
Question for other Canadian pre-orderers

So for those of you other Canadians with the 8-gb pre-orders, how long is your expected delivery from the UPS tracking? I'm a little confused as to why UPS is shipping my nexus tablet by train when Google said it would be 2-day shipping. So the train derailed somewhere in Montana according to the UPS tracking, that I'm not mad about and good thing no one was hurt, but 2-day shipping via train from Louisville, KY.. Did they expect a time-travel jump or something?
[Nexus 7 General] Wintermute1:
Shared Pain

In the same position.

On hold now, and no updates in shipping information received last night. UPS say they have no information on the item moving within their system -- which implies that they have not received it yet.

So Google F****d this up again too.

Not suprising anymore, just dispiriting.
[Nexus 7 General] Albinoman:
Its on the truck for delivery!
[Nexus 7 General] drewwegand:
Yeah I guess I'm on the I hope it comes on Monday bandwagon now, the ****ty thing is if it doesn't and it comes Tuesday I'll be at warped tour all day and miss it again!
[Nexus 7 General] JPop360:
Its been a good 20+ days and this thread has help me get though the long and boring wait. But it's time for me to say goodbye :D. Best of luck to all that are still waiting, and I hope you all get your Nexus 7s soon...
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
LOL WTF. For real? I'm a bit skeptical upon first glance.
[Nexus 7 General] drewwegand:
i think it's awesome that that's the activity on your package though, I guess the screen separation and dead pixels are the least of your worries now..:p
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
Received my Nexus 7 an hour ago. Awesome. Left side is the smallest bit higher than the right, but no squishiness or loosness to report. Feels solid. Some display issues, flickering and such. Annoying but common. Otherwise its great.

Alright then. In the process of Linaro-ing and optimizing Motley's kernel for my new beast.

Good luck to everyone out there. I know it was hard to hear from personal experience, but it is truly worth the wait.
[Nexus 7 General] Precision20:
Yes, its real. I was like WTF as well. Suppose to be shipped to me(BC Canada) on Monday but im guessing not anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] pnnorth:
16gb unit collected from Tesco - £30 saving on the play store price banked and it was a completely painless proces.

[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
So my order from July 13 moved up to the top of my Play Store transaction list last night, wallet still doesn't have a tracking number, and my card the pending charge I dont see anymore, nor is there a posted charge, but my balance is still the same as when the pending charge was there...Can I take this as a sign my tab has shipped and they're just slow to update...dreading having to call up Google lol.
