I ordered on 3rd July and my card has been charged but I have had nothing else since.
[Nexus 7 General] TommyBee:
So much for a productive day at work. I didn't think mine would show up until next week. Wallet is updated as shipped with a tracking number. Money has not been taken from me and tracking number is not updated. I hope it's at my door when I get home this afternoon.

I'm too excited. There must be some disappointment right around the corner with my name attached.

June 30th/July 13th

16GB

Minnesota, US
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
good luck buddy! hopefully there is light at the end of this dark frustrating tunnel for more of us...

now i get to F5 the ups page in conjunction with this thread. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
i am so sad waiting for my nexus waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
:laugh:

This thread has gone really quiet the last few days but i am still seeing very few people who ordered after the 4th July receiving 16gb devices in the UK....

As a 10/7/12 orderer I am expecting nothing til the end of next week - when did you order?
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
I received my pre-ordered Nexus 7 yesterday to go with my Sam's purchased Nexus 7 from July 13th. Couple of points that you may want to think about as you await delivery of this awesome device!

- Google Nexus 7 case is awesome. I have one Nexus 7 in a Kindle Fire case I purchased and the other in the Google Gray case purchased on Play. The one with the gray case looks about half the size of the one in the Fire case. I highly recommend the gray case, its sleek yet solid. You may want to purchase two of them though as the piece of plastic that joins the "door" to the back of the case seems kind of thin so you may need an extra case.

- I have both devices covered in the XO Skins screen covers. They go on very nicely but they do in fact scare you as they look like they have streaks and bubbles right after they are put on, but those go away after a few hours.

- Now the bad news. The Sams purchased Nexus 7's screen has malfunctioned somehow. It is completely washed out and faded. This happened all of a sudden. It is so bad when it is first turned on that the colors are hard to see. If I return it to Sam's I will lose the $20 XO Skin screen cover. After about 5 minutes the colors all come back so I don't quite know what to do yet. Ill probably eat the $20 and take it back to Sams today for an exchange as I like the idea of having two Nexus 7's. See screen shots below of the washed out look, and then the return to normal after 5 minutes.

- On the pre-ordered device, I would have never known it was shipping if I did not have My Choice UPS. If you are still waiting for your device in the USA you should go register with MyChoice UPS immediately.

- As I have two devices I didn't want to lose the $25 Play credit so I created a new GMAIL account and registered each device to a different GMAIL account. This works with no problem at all! I also received the Google Wallet $10 gift card on each device.

- The Google wallet gift card is a bit tricky to get. Launch Google Wallet App from the N7 and create your 4 digit PIN. Once it is through registering the PIN and your Google Wallet account is active simply select the Google Gift Card (colorful card with a + sign on it), it will say activating card, and then you will see a $10 gift card right there ready to use! Again I was able to get this on both devices so it works well!

Any questions let me know! Also if you have any suggestions on my washed out screen please offer them, because I don't know what to do.....either I live with it and take a risk that the screen will completely die, or I eat the $20 spent on the XO skin and return it to Sam's club. I am on the fence on this one. Enjoy your Nexus 7 as I LOVE this device!!!

Delivery times

Hmm just thinking if TNT deliver upto 6pm and our office (where mine is comming to) closes at 5.30......I think I'll call the wife and say I have to work a bit late if it is not here by 4pm. But it might not even come today I have not had a shipping email yet, but some have been shipped before the email so who knows. The other wierd thing is I am in the middle of the west end in London and normaly you cannot go out with out seeing a TNT van but can I see any today?
[Nexus 7 General] Dazzh82:
Same boat as you mate its a joke!
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Got my shipping notice at 3:00 am. Nothing really updated on ups end. I'll let it do it's thing
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
I ordered on 13th july uk 16gb
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
It is, its just that it is completely plastic or rubber not sure. It feels very solid, but it you were to be rough with the case (i.e. you tried to twist the door on it, or something then I could see it getting a small tear in it. But if you take care of it I am sure it will hold up against the test of time. Its a very slim case, I really don't think it adds any width at all......in this regard it is simply GREAT!
[Nexus 7 General] jrmatics:
Yes sir, hopefully it gets to me in Brooklyn way before the end of the day:) and whoever suggested to sign up with UPS Mychoice was a great idea
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Well, congrats Google, I think you have just about broken my spirit. :laugh:

27th 11am + accessories, and I've still got nothin'.

To the Google apologists, it's been 3+ weeks since I ordered. It has been TWO WEEKS since I tried to cancel and they refused because it "was too close to shipping."
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
uk are out of stock on 16gb on play store but 8gb in stock.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Here you go sir 0800 328 6081. I am in the US but as this has been a common query and I like to help out I have kept a copy of it. If this is helpful please remember to hit the Thanks button.

It is a joke, we were in same boat in the US for a while. I am sure the UK orders are going to start hitting en masse in the near future. I am a June 27 pre-orderer 16G + Case and I received no notifications on shipping or anything until the day I was to recieve the device! Many of the US people seemed to get notices after they called and complained to Google. It may have been coincidence, but hey you can try! Also they upgraded the US orders to overnight shipping maybe you can talk them into doing this for you too?
[Nexus 7 General] chriszak:
Pre-order shipped

Received my shipping notice last night! This morning the UPS tracking number is working and I should receive my N7 on Tuesday next week. I ordered this from the playstore on June 28th.

I got so frustrated with this pre-order that I've already went into Staples and bought a N7, so the one I have coming will go to my son. He's seen the N7 and loves it.

BTW, I tried to cancel the order and sent cancel requests to Google Canada twice as of Monday July 16th, no response other than they shipped it out and charged my credit card last night.

Thanks,
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
I think google need to learn a few things from apple about preorders and delivery apple must be laughing their heads off at google write now what a shambles do you know what that means google it means you F.... up big time.
[Nexus 7 General] edhunter13:
As much as Google had messed this up, I think they have given apple something to be worried about with the N7
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Apple has become the company they always preached about not being, if they are laughing it's an evil, demented sorta laugh.
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
MyUPS finally came through. Coming today.

Google.... nothing... sad really.
[Nexus 7 General] lightfire:
Talked to "customer service" (what a joke) Monday and was assured shipment of a July 2 order this week. Talked to them again wednesday, GUARANTEED a shipment this week. Talked to them again last night, bumped up a level after agent telling me it had been shipped (but couldn't give a tracking number) and was absolutely guaranteed, by the "supervisor" that the tracking numbers would be issued last night. No tracking numbers and no activity in google wallet as of this morning. All this wouldn't be such a big deal except I will not be home next week.

Google has lost all credibility, after sending out an email saying all shipments would be this week (USA), and after several agents lying. Won't buy hardware from them again. They should stick to software.
[Nexus 7 General] astazzex:
Ordered 8gb from Google play store on Tuesday evening, arrived Thursday lunchtime.

Nexus 16gb

3rd of July ordered.

Nothing yet apart from THAT email!

Update! Nexus jumped to top of list!
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
same deal here. only thing is I called last night to check on release date. I mentioned how the money was taken out of my account already. he said it was just an authorization or whatever. that Google doesn't actually charge you until device ships. also that it'll be shipping mid July.
[Nexus 7 General] 49erurtaza:
mine has been charged too hmm hopefully i would be super happy if i got a tracking number emailed to me when i woke up tomorrow :p
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
You won't...it was temp charge man it did same for me the day it came out.

I hope it ships soon....I want my tablet lol
[Nexus 7 General] 49erurtaza:
im guessing we will get the tablet by july 20-30th the wait for it is going to kill me :p
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
I'm thinking a lil sooner ..they always est. A lil longer than what it really is just to be on the safe side if something happens
[Nexus 7 General] 49erurtaza:
hope so that be great
[Nexus 7 General] EnervinE:
I preordered the moment it became available (I was that guy refreshing the Play Store) and the wait is unbearable. I want my tablet already! I check my Wallet account twice daily...
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Yeah same here lol....
[Nexus 7 General] TaintedByte:
You'll get an email instantly xD

I do understand the desire to check everyday though :P I do the same and I know I'll get an email anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] mgori:
Nothing to report here :( No authorization charge or full charge. I purchased during the Keynote speech on 27th... :(:(:(:crying:
[Nexus 7 General] cypher21:
my cc was authorised, i got a call from the bank last monday that someone spent 1400 dollar in the usa with my cc, they blocked it after that :P

its unblocked now, but at least i know it went fine.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Huh??? They charged that much for your tablet order?? Or someone stole ur info and took that amount?? Urbirder went threw?
[Nexus 7 General] cypher21:
lol no, 5 tabs and 5 cases, and i ordered it myself ;)
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Lol ohhh I was confused I forgot u order that many :)

My order status says complete so I'm guessing it all went threw OK so all that is left is to wait

It said 2-3 weeks when I ordered so now I'm guess its really at 1-2 weeks now
[Nexus 7 General] Galactic2:
Wow. 5 tabs? Who are the tabs for?
[Nexus 7 General] cypher21:
one for me, three for friends, shoudlve been one more, but one backed out after i ordered, the douche...

I'll put that one up for sale, since the n7 won't be available anytime soon here in the Netherlands I think it will sell quickly, maybe with a bit of profit even too
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
When ever someone receives a tracking number please post that u received one so we can all stop worrying hahah :)
[Nexus 7 General] neek:
how did u managed to order from NL ? I tried to and got my Google Wallet suspended.. probably my card billing address is not in the US.. not sure how to reactivate my wallet account.. hope i can still get the $25 credit once my friend bought it for me from US..
[Nexus 7 General] cypher21:
i called the bank to ask if it was fine to put my billing address in the usa as well. I used my Dutch CC, billing and shipping address of my relatives in the usa. They will send it to me once they have it.

I did this a few times before, that way i imported a few iphones 2g, iphones 3g, Nexus one, nexus S and galaxy nexus phones :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] theanand:
I am looking to pre order to a friends address in USA. He is coming in the first week of August to India..any clue that will this be delivered before that? Or should I hold on until it is available for purchase after release?
[Nexus 7 General] kiswa:
That's a good point. I don't see myself going to a store to try and get one faster, but if we get them later than stores I don't see myself ordering hardware from Google ever again either.
[Nexus 7 General] rster53682:
$14.00 to not have to drive in traffic......to the mall....dealing with @##!#^%%^*^!!! people

thats close to a good price.....

thats just me......it is nice having it brought to you.....

as long as i get it the same day as everyone else.
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
Actually, more on Wallet.

Apparently you can pay offline. Google is giving every N7 owner the ability to use Google Wallet regardless of connectivity. Wow.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Than you might have to deal with UPS People which can be far far worse.
[Nexus 7 General] Sizeth3:
Because the company would be making an actual profit on what they are selling. You all are complaining about Google, when in fact Google is selling an extremely popular piece of hardware nearly at cost (if not at a loss for the 8gb version once you count marketing and R&D). Google is taking a risk selling these devices with such low margins, in hopes that we are going to make purchases in the Play store.

It's like the wireless phone industry, you drop your iPhone in the toilet, and show up at AT&T wanting another iPhone for $199 not realizing the cost of that device was subsidized over 2 years and the carrier is paying close to $600 for that same device.

Everyone is giving products away essentially for free, in hopes to make profits in the long term. It's craziness.
[Nexus 7 General] phoneman09:
This may be a dumb question but how would that work?
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
Where did you get that from??? Or are you screwing around?
[Nexus 7 General] Gibsonflyingv:
http://www.break.com/index/ups-man-throws-package.html

Thats your nexus 7 ;)
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
Um, I pre-ordered and have been waiting (im)patiently just like every person who has pre-ordered from the Play Store. So, by default, I somehow deserve to wait longer for no reason other those who ordered from the Play Store being able to say "I got my tablet two days before you." That's stupid.
[Nexus 7 General] Agallion:
anyone think its possible that google does overnight or next day shipping? If you send anything to apple, they always send things back as next day air.
[Nexus 7 General] truthkillszz:
because the devices only supplies the merchant with the credit card info and the merchant then charges your account. think of it exactly like using your credit card. The credit Card info is saved on the device just like it is saved on a credit card
[Nexus 7 General] stevenege:
Ok..... so in the shipping part of this. Chances are UPS has them already and is waiting on the go ahead from El Goog. If we are to get them by the 12th they can actually wait until the night of the 11th to charge and ship em out. If they are at the hub, all we have to do is slap a sticker on them and your card is charged right before and BAM it is on the truck. SO there is no real reason to freak out until tomorrow night guys :-D.

2 day shipping may still apply.... but it ships from ASUS in a day and sits in a hot warehouse for 4 days and ships to us in another day. We do it all the time at Amazon and did it when I worked for FedEx too.

For the people who want to rush to GameStop to grab a tablet if Google does not in fact get it to us by the time that B&M stores do.... good luck with that. Maybe 1 out of 100 will actually have that happen... and that is if someone does not pick up their order in 7 days. So you would still wait to the 19th. Might as well just roll with this punch for the time being.
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
Googling around says that Wallet requires no connectivity. Several partners say this (example on: http://www.empsebiz.com/googlewallet/faq.html)

Also: It works because all Wallet does is provide the information - the payment is processed via the terminal.
[Nexus 7 General] raycpe:
I don't remember being promised anything other than 2 to 3 weeks, if the shipping of my device passes 3 weeks then maybe I have a gripe then
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
AT&T obviously believes they're making more profit this way than just having you buy it for $600. (Ditto for Google, etc.) Otherwise, they wouldn't do it. So, if you have the right to gripe in the latter case, you do in the former case as well.

Hate to say this, but no one's giving you a subsidy out of the goodness of their hearts, but rather to try to lock you in.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
How does preordering something mean you get it earlier? Have you ever preordered a video game? Your're pretty much just letting the store know that you want it on the day they receive it so they should order an extra item for you. Some companies enforce Street Dates so it doesn't really matter anyway. Should people who preordered from JR.com, Staples.com, etc get them earlier than everyone else too?

Also, you paid $14 for 2day shipping. If Google doesn't ship it to you via 2day shipping then you can complain all you want. If Google ships it to you via 2day shipping, but on the 31st, it's still 2day shipping. You got what you paid for.
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
My 2c on shipping: It ships late tonight or early tomorrow and gets here on release day. Google is very well aware of how it works, and they've done early and on time shipments in the past.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
And if they did they they would see MANY angry people. You think that will leave a positive attitude with people?
[Nexus 7 General] Banumu:
You do get it to your door with out having to trek to a store ( mines 20 miles away to nearest one )

you also get a warm feeling in the bottom cockles of your heart knowing you went directly to Google

instead of a 3rd party.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Agreed.but if I pre order and get it later than ppl from gamestop etc etc then I'll be pissed...and have that right to be honestly
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
yes there is plenty of stock on 8gb its the 16gb orders that are messed up big time.
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
I wonder if Google would send me 2 8gb devices instead of the 16gb in means of compensation? They have plenty to do so.

Order place - July 1st UK Play Store.

2x 16GB no accessories.

No CC charge, no wallet update, only 'nexus at the top' from yesterday.

If i do not revive a shipping confirmation email/tracking number by tomorrow morning for deliver on sat i will phone my local shops to see has stock in that i can buy from.

I have given Google the 2-3 weeks they said which will expire on Sunday. So if i havent heard anything by tomorrow they will be out of time.
[Nexus 7 General] edhunter13:
Just got my N7 delivered. Ordered it yesterday express delivery. Still waiting for the other one I ordered from Google which feels like years ago.

So what's up with all the 16gigs in UK?

I ordered on the 4th and I have heard nothing yet :(
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Jesus, just read about some nutjob shooting up a theater in Colorado. Killed a bunch of people going to see the new Batman. If I read correctly they actually arrested the guy.

Puts a tablet pre-order in perspective. (And what is wrong with this world?)
[Nexus 7 General] woolmonkey:
For the Canadians with stock near them. What is stopping you from canceling your order and picking one up? Cancelled mine and had Staples deliver it in he/t day for free, just got sick of being ****ed by Google.

Oh and I wouldn't call this a preorder more of a order and we'll try to get you something sometime.

In Canada, my 8GB Nexus 7 is on truck for delivery! Can't wait. I'll let you know if there's any brokerage fees.

so i was worried they wouldn't my 16gb shipped by the 19th because my card was declined on the 13th but i got my shipping status email this a.m. and it says 2nd day air (grr), but it also says the label was made on the 12th and that's all the progress it's made.

ordered placed the 29th around noon - no accesories
