For those of you who say the two day shipping includes Saturday day: I just talked to my bro in law who works at a ups distribution center and he said standard two day shipping does NOT include Saturdays. The package will continue to route to your local distribution center over the weekend so any n7's shipped today should all arrive monday.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisbd1:
I said it before and I'll say it again. 8gb were not sold anywhere but play store (a tiny fraction at Staples). I wasn't walking into any store and getting a 8GB Nexus 7. I'm cool with my experience so far. My item has shipped
[Nexus 7 General] oopse3:
Ugh this is driving me crazy I ordered 2 N7's and 2 Cases on the 27th and I still have no charge on my CC!
[Nexus 7 General] timmytim:
Some UPS hubs are open on Saturday. If you check your tracking number and see that it's at your hub, you can go down there with your email and tracking number printed out and show them and they will give you your package over the counter. No need to wait for the UPS driver.
[Nexus 7 General] thetakara:
Just got my shipping email. I ordered the 16 GB on the 27th at 2 PM. It's being shipping to Ohio. The tracking number isn't in UPS's system yet.

I'm right there with you. Ordered on the 27th, two 16gb N7s, two cases and no charge or email.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
You mean there are Google people here ?

I've wondered, but most of them seem to be regular members of XDA who've been around a while.

I'd call them "Google apologists" perhaps.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but...

There is a strange regular argument I don't get. They keep saying "Google did not break their agreement with you". And yet they don't know the particulars of each case (such as reps saying they were in the shipping process a week ago), and until the device is in someone's hands, Google has not yet completed their duty as a vendor.

No, in the grand scheme of things, this snafu is not "the end of the world."

It may seem like there's a LOT of "whining" here, but it seems that way because there are so many posters and so much interest.

[Nexus 7 General] sjankis630:
Well I finally got my shipping notice about 10 minutes ago and I ordered mine the day after the announcement. To those who walked in the store and got it or had there's delivered already, have a ball. I cannot say that I am not crushed that I have to wait, I will just have to remember next time that Google play /= exclusive.

Good night from here in Northern Virginia USA.
[Nexus 7 General] Mustang7302:
Was charged today around 1pm cst and got the shipping email from Google around 8pm cst for my 16GB without case.
[Nexus 7 General] Mr. Argent:
YYYYYYYYES!
[Nexus 7 General] rocchioo:
Anyone know if shipping emails are still being sent out? Or should we expect the next round of emails to go out on Monday morning?
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
If your wrong I'll eat ur soul
[Nexus 7 General] findmike:
I'll reply to yours since the other reply is just a rant.

I get it.

Everyone has a right to be happy or sad about how they perceive the world around them. I ordered a tablet I want. They are shipping them when they said they would. I choose to be happy about that.

Sure, if Google was in these forums and could see the scathing hatred that is developing as a result of doing exactly what they said they would do I can only imagine that their PR machine would go into overdrive with the clear and concise message that "We are right on schedule and everything is just great, sorry a few of our retail partners shipped earlier than we wanted them to."

I've got to imagine that they just don't see the need. I own my own business. If I promise someone something in a month I deliver in a month or let them know in advance that there will be an issue keeping the timeline. If everything is on schedule I don't call them and tell them everything is on schedule, that's a given in my book. I do what I say I'm going to do, just like Google seems to be doing.

So you have a right to look at the same thing I do and be all pissed about it and think I'm crazy for putting up with this "Fiasco" and meanwhile I'll just sit here typing off a note every now and then reminding people that it's all going to be okay and we should all be thrilled that we are getting our tablets soon.
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
Jun 30th got charged today, no email.

Anybody else from Georgia got news?
[Nexus 7 General] whatsinaname:
none here

Montana, ordered July 4th, no email, charge, or tracking yet. :(
[Nexus 7 General] thetakara:
o.o Dat tax.
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
I got one about an hour ago.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Very well said, thank you ! Deserves to be quoted, even a third time.

No, it's not the end of the world, but yes, I think Google messed up the PR on this among their biggest fans and supporters.

Still, not a single sign of anything happening with Play orders outside of the US.

And Google Canada ignores emails.
[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
Thanks man. I've been watching this thread since it's inception. Then it was 'accidentally' deleted by mods and brought back. I've been following it the entire way, having been a day one pre-orderer. I resisted the urge to post all this time, but finally (to his credit) that mike guy broke me. I just can't understand how someone could not understand how people would at the very least be miffed by what's transpired. Is it going to make me go hungry or something? No, but that doesn't make it any less of a disaster.
[Nexus 7 General] sabre31:
Just got an email from play store that it shipped via ups and tracking number so looks like orders are going out today.
[Nexus 7 General] yerand:
Hey nerds, mine just shipped!!!!! Jun 27 Ohio :eek::):D

Edit: Its the 16gb btw
[Nexus 7 General] NonovUrbizniz:
Historically preordered does not equal first to get. It means first to pay and ensured first run hardware.

Still no email ...order 27th no accessories

I have been charged...but that's it...

Idk if it even shipped ....I order first and get tracking last....

But

If u ordered last u get tracking and shipment first....

FCK this ****
[Nexus 7 General] slack04:
In a thread that moves as fast as this one, I'm sure this will get lost soon, but I'm bored:

I ordered within a minute or so of the nexus 7 going live on play. Ordered 2 actually.

And guess what? I'm still excited to get my Nexus. Sure, Google ****ed up by not shipping the pre-orders first. But their goal (however completely unreasonable) was a huge, coordinated worldwide launch. One day on which everyone knows someone that is playing with their new toy.

So, let's all just agree that google should learn from this; They were dead wrong in expecting that they could create a huge groundswell without springing a few leaks. And they forgot that their early adopters are... well... you're all in this thread. It's people who create 900 page threads in a few days, with rumors that turn into expectations... Which then turn into anger, passion, injury... Google (or at least their marketing geniuses) completely miscalculated this "2-3 week" launch time; it will hurt them in the long run.

But let's also agree that we'll all have Nexus 7's in our hands sometime next week. And remember how excited you were when you ordered it? Think about those specs, and the advantages of a nexus device. Think about the price you paid for that!

So for the folks that got them early: good for you! Don't gloat and don't react to the folks on here that can't handle the (self-inflicted) stress. Enjoy your devices and your freedom from this thread (seriously, leave this thread...). Go beta test for the devs so when the deluge of devices starts arriving there's stable ROMs and Kernels for the rest of us!

And let's all just come back together and enjoy our new toy. See you in... better threads!

(repost one last time; shipping confirmation just came in so I'm never coming back to this thread...)
[Nexus 7 General] Mr. Argent:
Yep, that's Illin...er, Peppernois for you.
[Nexus 7 General] jefhart:
Just got my shipping info, ordered 5pm 6/27. My credit card had expired too if that helps anyone. Assuming I'll get it next wednesday.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Google is Internet savvy. Right ?

They know what's going on here.

And top level management may not have read every post (or any) but they have people letting them know.

Google wouldn't be here today, as successful as they are, without listening to people/customers/consumers/advertising targets.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
Okay, First time calling; response was as follows.

FOR THE US: They know about the out of order shipping details issue. Higher up teams are looking at the situation at the moment to try and determine why the pre-orders are not being distributed in a FIFO manner.

FOR AUS: The representative I had was very helpful but I didn't ask for much, Australian customers should see their tracking numbers any time between now and Monday and all deliveries in Australia are on schedule so far.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Wow old quote.....why ???? Good don't come back lol...no more old ass quotes from u!!!!

Yes

[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
Apparently that's what preorder means to Google, if not to the rest of the world.
[Nexus 7 General] yerand:
It seems that tracking info is being sent in chunks. First it was NY/NJ and now Ohio and Virginia. Hopefully everyone gets their email by tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 7 General] Galactic2:
unless somebody enters it into ups and easily sees your address... i'd take it off personally.
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
lol I'll just watch yours till I get my email.

Some parts of the US, for example us in Hawaii, don't have 15 of the same B&M stores within a 30 min drive to track down electronics. So consider yourself lucky, oh wait...never mind. Your stuck in places like New Jersey. =P
[Nexus 7 General] knowran:
I have a question. I ordered on the 27th and I haven't received an email. If it shipped, I know it won't be delivered tomorrow because UPS air doesn't deliver on Saturday. I have a flight to Europe in the evening. Could I potentially pick it up at the UPS center?
[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
Dude, you replied to his because you actually had a comeback. Let's be serious. I wasn't ranting, I was speaking truth. They don't care what happens in these forums, and we both know that. The problem that people like you aren't seeing is pretty simple and yet you seem to be missing it. Let's put it this way: You own a house (you DO own a house, don't you?) and you've got termites. Those things are driving you nuts. You want.....thEM.....GONE!!!! So you call your most reliable extermination company and they give you the original estimate of, 'We'll be there in two to three weeks,'. 'Okay,', you think,'Just a couple more weeks,', and you take great pains to make sure you are ready for them.

Well, less than fourty-eight hours go by and all of a sudden your status is updated to, '1-2 weeks,'. 'WOW!,', you think, 'Just one to two weeks!,'. I mean, the month..not even the day is solidified but hey, one to two weeks is better than two to three, right?! You go out on your porch that very same day and see that your neighbors have some visitors....the very same exterminators YOU'VE JUST BEEN IN CONTACT WITH. They're getting service, and you can't understand why they would be getting service over you when you made an actual appointment with them and you were *just told* that it would be one to two weeks before they came to service you. Bummer, huh? Wouldn't you be a little miffed? I mean, that company promised that they'd be getting to you in one to two weeks, and yet here they are, freely coming out to service your neighbor with the exact same problem the very day you can't even get a REAL confirmation date. If you can't or won't understand this analogy, there's really nothing left to be said for you and I'll move on.
[Nexus 7 General] r_3:
Got my shipping notification :-)
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
My charge is still pending and no email yet. I've kinda lost excitement about my first google tablet but I'm sure that'll change once it ships...lol

I'm on the side of thinking Google really screwed up this launch and pre-order"ers." if they don't make this right somehow ie refunding the shipping cost then I'll keep the Nexus 7 but it will be last Google product I'll buy.
[Nexus 7 General] Ayenn13:
I'm going to carry this onto another page because it is a truth I also believe.

Honestly, I think this is Google having problems with their retail partners not respecting Google and Google trusting those partners too much. Of all the partners they have engaged for this, in North America, only one has willfully and knowingly outright complied with Google's plan. That would be Best Buy Canada. If they had only dealt with Best Buy and Gamestop in NA I doubt any of this would have happened. Normally GS behaves themselves and do more so when they are competing with Best Buy.

The big G generally only deals in software and services. This is the first time they have attempted something like this with a physical product they were not in exclusive control of. They got thunked on the head really hard with the N7. I doubt a mess like this will ever happen again.

We are all getting out tabs in the next 72 hours within the 3 week time limit. That is very obvious.

It is a bit rough but it will be all good in the end.
[Nexus 7 General] lazl0:
I do love Google unfortunately this was their first big hardware roll out. By that i mean iPad big. They could have done better. I also feel with looking at their past they will make it right. Good customer service is exceeding your customers expectations.

[Nexus 7 General] matrix0886:
Ordered mine on Thursday (bout 1am). Got home from work tonight and had an email saying that it had shipped. UPS should have updated information tomorrow. It always takes about 12 to 24 hours before the tracking number actually updates to show what is happening.
[Nexus 7 General] Crazypinoy9:
So im sorry i missed this in the PAGES of threads that happened within the last 10 minutes but has anyone that ordered a 16gb from the play store received tracking yet?
[Nexus 7 General] antikryst:
Tracking number! Ordered 27th ship to VA.

Are we getting it Monday latest?
[Nexus 7 General] Ayenn13:
Yes, I have.
[Nexus 7 General] Beta Max:
This is what is making people a little peeved. Congrats on your order, but it's amazing that your shipping email is going out before other earlier orders.
[Nexus 7 General] billbradford:
Strangely enough, I have shipping/tracking info for the *second* 8GB N7 I ordered (on the 29th) if I look at the order info page on Wallet, but no change and no shipping info yet on my first order, an 8G N7 with case, placed on the 27th. Final charges for both units hit my bank account this morning. Houston, TX.
[Nexus 7 General] keezy88:
Am I one of the lonely ones that got a 16gb that hasnt received any sort of notification from GS? No charge/email/tracking. I ordered June 29 from MI.
[Nexus 7 General] BaconStep:
ive got a 16gb too
[Nexus 7 General] booyakasha:
I couldn't agree with you more, which is precisely why I signed the petition 20+ pages back. I'm not butt-hurt by the fact that someone got their N7 before me, but I'm upset that my premeditated actions got me jack ****, other than a few extra bucks for shipping. Had I KNOWN that I could have walked into a 'brick and mortar store', as you stated, and walked out with a unit, I may have acted differently. Granted, I ordered "late" (7/7), but the fact that Google's actions PREVENTED me from canceling my order, leading to me not ending up with a unit on launch day, just adds to the frustration. A preorder is a preorder in my mind. Customer relations was handled very poorly by Google, and it leads to skepticism on the Google Play front...something that is unacceptable, in my mind, in this day and age.

While the launch date of mid July is still within reach, and trolls need to stop being trolls, facts, also, need to be stated, on unbiased terms, as I have tried to do.
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:

DOn't believe I could've held out much longer:rolleyes::laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
All the gamestops and staples I called and visited in all of SC are not releasing them yet. Parts of NA are definitely complying. And since there was no official street date, I doubt the early sellers can even get fined.
[Nexus 7 General] booyakasha:
P.S. I also ordered a 16GB, and have received nothing.
[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
Nah man..I ordered a 16GB first day and haven't received squat. Your'e not alone :D

NO money taken out yet, no email, and nothing changed since i ordered.

Can someone explain to me why the f**k somebody who order july 7th gets it before me?

F**k Google.............I'm sick of that sh8.........next time i would rather order spend my money on a hooker rather than give it to you Google !!
[Nexus 7 General] zaneburton:
It is possible that we won't even get ship notifications... There have been some people on reddit who have mentioned getting tracking emails AFTER they received their Galaxy Nexus devices, before the card was even charged.
[Nexus 7 General] comhack:
That is normal with UPS as it takes around 24 hours for it to register with tracking information. Don't be worried as it has more than likely already left the UPS hub.
[Nexus 7 General] DJ Prestigio:
Ordered a 16gb and a case on the 27th and no communication from google yet, NYC btw

As a cold blooded American, I've been to a brothel. Think twice before you say that...it's just a tablet after all
[Nexus 7 General] zaneburton:
Damn.. I just work about thirty seconds from one, so I'll be headed there tomorrow morning before work.
[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
That bolded part, that's what made me angry. I saw that my local GS was selling freely and I wanted to cancel. THEY WOULDN'T LET ME. I am not a millionaire and I couldn't charge both, so I relented. The fact that they haven't shipped NOR charged me yet makes me believe I should have the right to cancel, and yet I can't. I could go down the street later today and have my unit, but I can't. Meh. When I get it, I'm sure all this will go by the wayside for me, which just makes me angrier. Oh well, Google!

Google will make it right but I do agree they could have improved their communication involving this. I am not pleased on having to pay extra for shipping when I could have picked it up at gs right by my job. I chose Google play over gs because a made an assumption. Google has followed what they said they were going to do but why ship to the b&m stores before your Google play customers. They are making a profit off of us not the b&m stores. I guess I was wrong in making that assumption. Still not going to go to apple that is just crazy talk.

[Nexus 7 General] matrix0886:
That's actually a pretty terrible analogy, lol. How do you know that your neighbors didn't put in for service a month before you did? Left that part out, didn't ya :D

Ok, enough with the trolling on that part. Is it fair that people who ordered way back are not getting theirs before people who recently ordered? Absolutely NOT! Is it good business? Absolutely NOT! Should we all stop acting like adults and start cussing and complaining in a forum instead of being an adult and going straight to the source with a mature manner yet one that still shows that you are a dissatisfied customer? Absolutely NOT! It's amazing how when a business screws up, mature adults suddenly turn into foul mouthed squabbling little children. You may be saying "yeah, you're just saying that because yours shipped out 2 days after you ordered." That's true, but have you seen the other posts from people who said "you know what? It's coming when they said it would. That's all that matters."? Settle down, children. It's not going to get to your house any faster by ranting and cussing in a forum. Take your complaints to the source. Spread bad publicity, sure, but maybe in a more civilized manner?
