This is no different than a number of other people's beefs but thought I would post it here anyway.

I watched the Google I/O presentation which ended around noon. As a Canadian, I wasn't even sure if I would be able to order or if I would have to wait since the Play app in Canada doesn't have a section for devices. I too was under the impression that Play was the only place to order one. On my lunch break, I found a link to the Play site where I could order and jumped on it. After getting some errors, my order finally went through. So....

1) I'm fine if my "pre-order" doesn't show up until late next week

2) I'm NOT fine that Google didn't tell us that Play wasn't the only source

3) I'm NOT fine with paying $20 for 2-day shipping when I could have saved my $ and bought from another vendor with free shipping

4) I'm also NOT fine with being locked in and unable to cancel (I called them to cancel on Monday)

So, I will wait patiently for my order BUT I won't be jumping to order from Play anytime soon unless I am 100% positive that its the only way.
[Nexus 7 General] cmcfalls:
I ordered as soon as they were available on the Play store, and that was before I found out that I could order from third parties. Whether it was on the internet or not, it probably wouldn't have mattered at that time. I still assumed that Play store orders would get theirs at least two days earlier than third party orders (since we paid for two day shipping).

You know what they say about hindsight...
[Nexus 7 General] erik111111:
No this has nothing to do with it because -

1) Apple would have to file suit on this and then get an injunction which would take many months

2) They would lose their suit because this is common functionality across many devices for many years (including Asus Transformers) but also most phones, tablets and other devices

3) It is clearly documented as one of the features - from the play store listing -

Features

Microphone

NFC (Android Beam)

Accelerometer

GPS

Magnetometer

Gyroscope

See the Magnetometer????

What about the sneezing panda?

Most likely, he's a driver, but he's been keeping tabs since he has one on order himself. I might change my delivery address when I get a tracking number so I can just have him intercept it for me lol.
[Nexus 7 General] c4v3man:
I'm just glad in my lifetime, I was able to witness a miracle. Verizon said my GS3 would ship by the 10th, and instead shipped on the 6th. Google then completely botches their launch, and gives it's most dedicated fans the shaft.

Verizon has better customer service than Google.

[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
I'm just saying its possible, that's all. Either way something must have gone wrong somewhere.

Ah okay, I stand corrected.
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
When I saw Nexus 7 on Google IO, I really was exited, because I thought it can be a good way to fight with Apple products. It was cheap and it was totally "google" based. Now I have a feeling that google is way behing the competition. I really doubt it can beat other products. If they could not sell it, they should have told it first. I really do not care about my shipping, but it seems that I will not get my N7 anytime soon. I really think they should simply say they cannot ship it. It is worse that they are saying it will ship soon, and they do not do anything. I bought one on june 27th, and nothing happened. At this point, I think google is not a reliable source for any physical product. I am really sorry for myself, and it was my first android device.
[Nexus 7 General] rowanparker:
YIPPY!
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
One store that is missing from the list so far is Walmart, that seems strange to me.
[Nexus 7 General] 150pilot:
Proof in picture

Walked into GameStop as they opened. Went up to girl at register & asked to buy Nexus 7. She said that they only had 1 left that wasn't reserved for people that preordered & that I'd be the first person to pick up a Nexus 7 tablet from that store. She rang it up & it came to $10,000, so she printed out instructions for the day & it told her how to manually override the price, so she did. I walked out with my new N7 and am thinking of putting the one that comes from Google Play up for sale on Craigslist or eBay when it finally comes.

I wonder in the UK could we see the Nexus 7 released next wed fro the Google Play store and the week after from retailers. #:)
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Discount $99,750.00

That is awesome! You got a great deal! :D
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
Did I really just read someone just bought them straight from Sam's club? And no one is talking about that?
[Nexus 7 General] dovergeek:
Long time listener, first time caller...

I created a My UPS account after seeing the one posted yesterday. I logged in today and I can now see my shipping tracking # with an ETA for delivery of Monday July 16. I ordered mine on 27-JUN from Play store. It is coming from Illinois.

Kinda bummed they couldn't have shipped one day sooner so that I didn't have to wait an entire weekend. Especially since I ordered at 10:54am PT on June 27th.

But, I have a ship date which is all I wanted. It's also going to arrive mid-July and within 2-3 weeks. All as Google had promised me.

Also, no status change in Play store and no email of shipment.
[Nexus 7 General] mewantnexus7:
lol
[Nexus 7 General] pttymcgee:
It's actually a $9,750.00 discount.
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
I really think google should ship the product, but apparently they are trying to stop other sellers. If UPS cannot handle that huge order, they cannot handle it tomorrow or next week either, so it is better to start shipping. I am on 27th, but I am totally fine if someone who ordered on 28th or so gets it before me. I just want mine shipped. :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Probably because their competitor, Costco far outnumbers them.
[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
Remember the play store said "ships in 2 - 3 weeks?" That would be shipped by the 18th if you ordered on the 27th. This is not completely botched. Granted it's not as early as many would have liked, but they're not late yet.
[Nexus 7 General] neilrl79:
Just picked mine up from GS
[Nexus 7 General] iucidium:
PC World is retailing on the 16th
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
Seriously???? Although, you have not got anything from google. How can you be sure it is your N7? I hope to hear more from play store people.
[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
I'm just going to torment you guys with this picture.
[Nexus 7 General] erik111111:
No. It is a device for detecting/measuring magnetic fields, which is what this does. A magnetometer could be used as a compass but has many other uses.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
The receipt says: "Disc: 99,750.00 Promotion not found"
[Nexus 7 General] pttymcgee:
What number did you use to reference the shipment?
[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
That was me. They're $245 and there's some sort of in-store coupon you can use as well (my wife picked them up and didn't go into details on the coupon)..Unfortunately, I don't get home until 5:20ish so I won't be able to give more info than that until then.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Thanks, now I have a kink in my neck :D LOL
[Nexus 7 General] BunLengthHotDog:
Pre-Ordered the day it was announced at I/O.

Walked into Gamestop today around 11:00AM EST, asked for a Nexus 7. Nice lady went in the back, scanned the UPC, price came up as $10,000...she manually entered the price in via her email instructions.

Walked out at 11:08AM EST

How did Google botch this so badly...will just refuse shipment when the other one arrives
[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
I called my Sam's earlier this morning 9am est and the guy said they have 36 on order. Could be in tonight or soon. No exact date though. I plan on calling them in the morning.
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
Does Gamestop give the $25 credit?
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
As far as I'm aware, Yes they do. You get it when you log into your google account with the nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:

[Nexus 7 General] ydizzle:
How do you go about doing that? You just sign up for my ups and they automatically pull t tracking number for you?
[Nexus 7 General] meatlocker:
I just spoke with a Tier 2 Google rep who told me a couple very interesting things. The first is that a software glitch and screen problem have been discovered in the early run of the Nexus 7s, and that the initial devices that 'got out' are going to have a couple of serious issues regarding wifi, as well as glue holding the screen to the body that, in some cases, is causing the screen to actually lift off and separate from the main tablet. They have recalled most of the first wave, and they already have another run in place that corrects the issues. The devices will still be shipped out next week. For those of you (un)lucky enough to have gotten yours early, you may be in for a nasty surprise.

Also, apparently Google is none-too-pleased with the contents of this thread, and will be pursuing action of some sort against the Ronald-McDonald-Cat-QTip-Raping-Whiney-A$$es posting about Google's inability to fold space and time to make the current date and time be 'Mid July', as originally promised.

Yeah, ok. That first part was complete bulls$hit. But I swear that the second part was true. Honest.
[Nexus 7 General] jasphair:
Eh, any Canadians following this thread? No movement on my Google Play order. I haven't called around to EB or anywhere else. Has anyone up North gotten any information?
[Nexus 7 General] dovergeek:
First, I have not ordered anything else so no reason for UPS to be sending me anything other than my N7.

Second, its the exact weight and similar reference code to the guy from yesterday.
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:

[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Oh this is painful to watch T_T

I guess it's a lesson in patience though. Happy that some people are getting their devices, but WHERE MY NEXUS :'(

I just gave up and ordered from Futureshop, cheaper and it said would start to ship July 17th which isn't bad considering it's all quite on Google's front. I'm hoping that my Play Nexus 7 gets cancelled before it ships though
[Nexus 7 General] tdrussell:
lol @ those cancelling their order. This is exactly like the transformer prime release :D
[Nexus 7 General] feynman.jr:
Uhum. So congrats. At least you are a "play store". I hope to hear more from other people. Also, please post another reply if you get an email form google or your credit card. Good luck for you.
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
My local GameStops are stating they will receive theirs today. I'm going to call shortly and see if any other stores have any extras and go pick it up.

Congrats to those who received theirs today! How about some impressions?
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
I ordered on June 27th btw. But GameStop has some in stock and I want to cancel so I can pick it up there. :(

Where on the UPS account page did that show up? I also signed up yesterday but I haven't really seen where a tracking number would even be shown automatically?

I believe you. It happened to me too.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
I don't mind people cancelling, just makes more available I suppose :-)
[Nexus 7 General] zagazeta:
Lucky, none of the GS in North Port have them in stock. (South of Bradenton, South of Sarasota.)

News flash:

As a bonus to Google Play pre-orderers, Google will have the delivery person jam a sharp object into your eye! :D

(Don't worry, you have plenty of time to prepare before they show up.)
[Nexus 7 General] dovergeek:
Signing up for My UPS is free. You input your addresses that you receive shipments at. UPS cross references those with shipments put in their system and list your shipments inbound to those addresses. That is how i was able to grab my tracking #. You do not need to know anything from Google to get it. Just be sure to track the same address you are having Google ship it to.
[Nexus 7 General] grim82:
Signed up for the "free" MyChoice and I don't see anything. Either nothing is on the way to me, I'm looking in the wrong spot, or you gotta pay the $40 a year to see it.

Same here... seems like it only shows up via email, who knows. I haven't gotten any notifications yet.

Also has anyone with a 16GB device been charged by Google yet? Seems like the few charges that we've seen this morning have all been 8GB devices. Maybe they're too busy giving resellers 16GB units, that they can't handle orders by us little people?

[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Ya I hope they give us something, anything too! A case wouldn't hurt :D or $50 play store credit.

How, exactly, has Google "screwed up"? They promised no specific delivery dates.

Brick and mortar retailers breaking street dates isn't Google's fault.

[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
Does this count for per orders too =P
[Nexus 7 General] c4v3man:
Highly doubtful. Like others said, they're not late yet. But I agree, they aren't really instilling confidence in me to order devices from the play store again. Discounting shipping, including a case, or a little more credit would go a long ways towards getting me to order from the PS again...

WTF????
[Nexus 7 General] thwack:
Well, so much for cancelling and going to Gamestop, Google play charge just went through on my credit card. Ordered on the 27th as keynote ended, 8Gb.

I guess my $15 bucks for2 day shipping will really by for 4 day shipping, but hey, we knew Google sucked at selling real world hardware since the nexus 1.

Sucks for us pre-orders, but glad they're beginning to release them through third party vendors so at least some people get them today.
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
I just called 9 local gamestops, none had any in stock.

But hey, did you guys know that if you preorder you'll be on the 3rd wave, delivery August 8th. Only have to put 50 dollars down and get 30% additional trade in credit when you trade in games or apple devices.

That got old, fast
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Okay now I need to see a picture of all your bank account information or I won't believe it! :D

Kidding, but the charge still says pending? Or do all of yours eventually say that

[Nexus 7 General] MindlessLeadership:
How would an issue at the FCC be affecting international orders? It would not, and they have already shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
I'm sure Apple is suing Google for putting WiFi in their devices. We all know Apple invented WiFi.
[Nexus 7 General] jwischka:
This is exactly where I am. It's more of the overall experience that has been frustrating, rather than any specific thing. I know the device wasn't promised by any specific date, but the shipping thing still really irks me. Mostly it comes down to a "I could have gotten it faster, cheaper from someone other than Google... so why did I order from them again?"

Overall, not a positive experience ordering from the Play store.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Well, Google is an American company.
[Nexus 7 General] biggiestuff:
Would it be able to track it if it's a commercial address? Where do you go on the tracking tab to check for packages coming for you at that address.?

[Nexus 7 General] pttymcgee:
This is beating a dead horse, but seriously chill the eff out. Google said they would ship in 2-3 weeks, this is week two. They have until next week to ship them out in the window they gave. Spoiled brats on here.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Just spent 30 mins holding. Eventually spoke to Google rep.

TNT are preparing shipping email for tracking. If you don't get tonight, assuming you ordered early eg 27 June, you will get Monday. Of course, delivery could be up to 2 days.

If you ordered from Play Store this is a Google Nexus 7. The deliveries to UK stores are under direct contracts via Asus, and you are buying an Asus Google Nexus 7. Google has no control as such on the content Asus load it with.

I told rep that the situation was poor, and that it made no difference whose Nexus 7 it was, it was still Google and they should know more about what was happening.

Apparently and no surprises, there have been loads of calls from UK, Canada, USa and Austrailia.
[Nexus 7 General] munimisu:
Nothing so far :( i have been checking wallet, gmail every 5 min... now i just hope it shows up... :rolleyes:

Is apple going to also sue IEEE over WiFi and say IEEE 802.11 is theirs?

That should not matter, for one ASUS is not shipping them from the US to the UK and two they are distributing them from Googles UK company.

[Nexus 7 General] wootini:
I'm going to have to agree with this guy. These responses and reactions are pretty ridiculous.
[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 600 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!
