They used to be how my USPS mailman was until I called and complained. Now he rings the bell every time. My UPS guy is pretty lazy though. He stopped ringing my doorbell and instead just leaves packages in front of my apartment door. It's a pretty safe building so I don't think anyone would steal it, but he could at least knock on the door to tell me it arrived. Half the time I just hear a bang of him throwing the package at the door.

You guys are driving me nuts, lol!

I am without a tablet (I sold my iPad to get the Nexus 7) and I don't have a smart phone. I am getting antsy! I shouldn't be reading this forum and getting my hopes up...but I can't help myself! :good:
[Nexus 7 General] IncredibleMango:
My USPS, UPS, and FedEx drivers have always been pretty good with ringing the doorbell.

[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
My UPS guy rings the bell but then runs away. It seems my experience with 2 day shipping is that it never gets to me any earlier. Take Amazon with Prime, most of the time I am within a day or two of the distribution center so they send it regular UPS and I get it by 2 days, sometimes one. But I have had something sent 2-Day and I would watch it just stall so it came on the second day, something I would have gotten in one day had it shipping normally. If it requires a signature I would rather it come Fedex because the pickup location is much closer to my house.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
Which brings me to a great question.. will the delivery require a signature?

If so it sort of means that I have to constantly be aware of the tracking details.. oh noes.. the horror that would be since I totally wouldn't be doing that already /s
[Nexus 7 General] IncredibleMango:
Oh the horror of having to check the tracking page every 10 minutes

I think people were under the impression that google has been shipping them to stores before their customers.. which is why they would probably think that google is screwing them.

Google has been telling retailers that get them not to sell them yet.. some have obviously gotten out.. google probably doesn't want store walk-ins to get them before their play customers..

Looking at the picture that Nilay from the Verge took, the box is taped with tape marked ASUS.. makes me think that maybe ASUS is handling shipments to retailers and Google's own stock for the play store hasn't arrived yet.

I am enjoying this thread, but this has got to be the most user generated hype for anything I have ever seen. When I ordered it said item would ship in 2-3 weeks. I was never promised the 12th or any date for that matter. I want my nexus just a much as you guys, but I will wait a little longer before I get all bent out of shape with google .
[Nexus 7 General] panman86:

[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
I don't think anyone is upset by the wait per say, their upset that they ordered from the official channel at practically the first moment possible and people ordering WEEKS later are going to get it first AND pay less money. Its kind of a crappy way to go about things. Hopefully next IO google will have all units ready to ship immediately before announcing the next product.

[Nexus 7 General] jack1984:
You monster.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Yep, this is exactly the reason why people are getting angry.

Its not great to see, but I feel it to.

Ordered weeks earlier, from Google themselves, paid more money - still no idea of when I will get it, when others will clearly receive it in the morning.

... not Google's fault if some retailers are shipping it when they ain't supposed to, but it doesn't comfort the customers.

Nobody for UK orders have received a TNT tracking dispatch email, nobody at all.

Imagine if ebuyer etc sold & delivered ipads quicker than apple at launch, there would be massive uproar including tv news coverage I'm sure. LOL

Truth be told it doesn't really matter if it arrives after the weekend as i'm flat out all weekend having a life. However, during the week i don't have a life and that's when i want something to entertain me.

Unless anyone wants to organise a sexy party?
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
You know... it wasn't supposed to be like that, hence retailers like Gamestop, etc. not releasing their batch to preorders, etc. Boutique stores and that one online retailer in UK don't mean that Google intentionally did this. The logistics involved with individually selling to tens or hundreds of thousand different people is more difficult to accomplish than using retailers distribution channels. If and amazon or ebuyer or even gamestop orders, they ship big lots in bulk to relatively few locations, and are supposed to have stock on hand for whatever the real release date is. I wouldn't be mad at Google/Asus, I would be upset with those other vendors. It's only the 12th. Even if all or most preorders are delivered on Monday or sometime early in the week, that is well within their promise of "middle of July." I think perhaps they are selling more than they anticipated here. Just speculation, but it makes sense. I think retailers wont be getting a second batch of product for a while while Google tries to fill all of their own preorders.
[Nexus 7 General] baggy247:
This is what it has come to, I long for my Nexus 7 package to come through my door that badly, I thought I'd build my own :(
[Nexus 7 General] panman86:
Dude you ****ed up and built the box instead of the tablet
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
I don't care when other people are receiving theirs. Google Play is an internet retailer. Anyone expecting to get their's first hasn't been using the internet too long. It's not surprising at all that they decided to ship to their retailers first. They can only tell retailers to not ship or sell them early. They can't stop all early sales. And news flash: B&M stores have 0 day shipping..... internet retailers don't.

However, what I would like is a little communication. Just announce a date. Hell, you don't even have to officially announce anything if you are afraid that you might not meet that date. "Leak" a release date to news outlets. If the WSJ, Bloomberg, and other major media outlets started reporting the same dates, I would have at least some confidence. Hell, don't even say that the release date is whenever. Say that Google is targeting a release date of 7/12/12 or whatever.. Just something. Instead all we have is nothing, and nobody telling us anything.
[Nexus 7 General] id rather not no:
all orders should have been sent to google play pre-orders first before any retailer, even if it wasnt co-ordinated perfectly and i didnt reveive mine on the same day as others, i would have appreciated the intent godammit

I, personally, have never needed a gun nor do I known anybody else who has.

Also, for future reference a 'public school' in England is actually a private school ;)

But, back on topic. We won't be getting anything for ages. If Ebuyer do ship tomorrow I'll be cursing for cheapness (got the 8gb)!

Maybe it's the software

Just maybe, the JellyBean-on-Nexus-7 release isn't ready for prime-time -meaning, Google doesn't want to announce it as their First Great Tablet platform. Maybe there are a few bugs or tweaks that just need another - 12 hours! really! - to roll out.

Maybe it has nothing to do with who thinks what is fair to who.

Lol, I remember just how powerful that device grew into ....

So yeah, sounds about right. :-)

As for geeks and nerds - we are all them.

2. We have been camped in this single thread all day

3. We have gone through all emotions in one day

4. We all secretly get angry when someone shows a shipping notice

5. Our anticipation for this device is higher than any other in the past

This reminds me of buying my first computer. The year was 1986 and I had just saved up $521 from my frist job at Pizza Hut. I'd just ordered a 8MHz Turbo 88, 640K RAM, dual floppies, composite out. It was coming COD (Cash on Delivery) and I couldn't wait. I spent the first week calling the mail order company getting a status update. Once they said it shipped, I literally spent every afternoon looking out the window waiting for the UPS guy. I couldn't wait to hand him that over sized money order check.

The only difference is that this time, I can play angry birds on my Galaxy Tab while I wait.

I feel the need to chime in here.

I went to a GameStop and a Staples here in Cincinnati, Ohio. Neither one had any physical stock of the Nexus 7 Tablet. GameStop dude told me that there is NO specific date listed when there will be actual stock available in store, and that the only thing he can offer right now is a pre-order with a TBD ship date. The Staples guy said that there has been absolutely NO SIGN of them in their inventory yet. Both guys are people who I know personally, and they would tell me if they actually had them.

On a side note, I pre-ordered mine on June 27th from the Play Store, and I have NOT received any form of confirmation or shipping info.

My credit card has NOT been charged.

Not sending out to retailers would be plain folly. Retail sales will make or break this devices. The bulk of it's sales will be from retail. Lot's of people don't even like shopping online. I don't know how many time's I've heard people say they don't trust their credit card information "floating out there."

And I'm sure people who ordered them from Gamestop and other retail stores earlier than those who ordered on the play store wouldn't appreciate receiving them afterwards either. Sending them out to retail stores isn't a issue. MANY companies send products out, weeks in advance for good reason. They have to account for their orders and availability as well.
