I think the guys at Google went out to celebrate the amount of pre orders, got drunk and just pulled names out of a hat to decide the order in which they would be shipped. It's the only thing that explains the way they have shipped these lol. Not impressed especially since they seem to be having problems with addresses too.
[Nexus 7 General] StrangeEarth:
OKAY!! Charge just hit my CC, and the Nexus moved to the top of my Play Store list with todays date. No email from Google or UPS as to shipping yet. Still hope to see it tomorrow, just in time for my weekend =P.

16GB, US, ordered 7/6/2012
[Nexus 7 General] skyler0:
Checked my play orders and my 16GB Canada order is also moved to the top/date of July 18th. Woohoo?
[Nexus 7 General] billzillski:
16gb 7/5 US

Not getting my hopes up, good to see some activity though.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
As per the generic email those of use before the 11th will ship by EOD tomorrow and have them Friday at the latest.. I'm not home though... at the hospital with my awesome newborn son... within walking distance from the distribution center... wonder if I can pick it up lol
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Could be based on where your name appears in the bible or trained mice that pick out orders then run it back through a maze or how about numerical order based on cc numbers or how old your account is.

[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Still no email after i got charged hours ago. And when I caleld Google, the guy said it was a "preuthorization", that they were checking to see if the money was there. When I pointed out I already had a preauthorization weeks ago, he was like. well maybe its getting ready to charge.... I swear to god, if I dont have my damn tablet by friday...
[Nexus 7 General] MMcCraryNJ:
16 GB, July 5, No Accessories, USA.

JUST got the money taken from my bank account, and Google Play order moved to the top of the list. No tracking e-mail as of yet, but good sign.
[Nexus 7 General] 404reality:
I just received an email from Google Play saying my Nexus 7 16GB (UK) has been shipped.

The TNT tracking number I received does not yet show up.

Also I have attached screenshots of the email and Google Wallet transaction page.

Edit: I Ordered on the 30th of June.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Just some warranted... dammit, I can't think of the word. Distrust? Pessimism? You know we've been hurt before... It's hard to trust again... :laugh:

As for ABQ or Boise... Let's hope for both! :D

EDIT: Word I was looking for is skepticism!
[Nexus 7 General] :
my body is ready. i ordered on July 1st (a day after you). No CC charge or anything yet. But my turn could be soon :)

Well done mate, and good luck to everyone still waiting :)
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
I am in us, ordered a 16 gig on July 4th, and saw my card charged today along with moving it up in the play store list. Other than that, nada....
[Nexus 7 General] limbonik:
Ordered on 7/5. 16gb w/ no accessories. Finally have a pending charge on my card as of 7:20pm EST. No changes to Wallet yet. Also no emails from Google, Play Store or UPS as of yet.

[Nexus 7 General] lanwarrior:
Yes, but they have NO exact dates.. If they know, they'll put...say... 18th..or 19th..

My card has NOT been charged as of today, so if they'll do shipping, they HAVE to charge it by Friday, 07/20 for UPS/FedEx/USPS to pick up the shipment. Carrier do not pick up shipment on Saturday or Sunday.
[Nexus 7 General] Westfire:
Same here, FINALLY!
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
Don't get hopes too high my friend. I got charged well over 24 hours ago and still nothing. And to be honest I am still expecting nothing for the next 24 hours.
[Nexus 7 General] Cheeseburgler:
Well friends, I've been following this thread since the beginning and after seeing the email last night stating Canadian orders would be an additional 1-2 weeks, I lost it.

Just got off the phone with a very pleasant sounding person named Kyle at Google, and he was more than happy to cancel my order for me (already got the cancellation confirmation email from them). I had ordered a 16gb Nexus 7 on July 3rd, no accessories, to New Brunswick, Canada. He admitted my order was nowhere near being processed for shipping, so it was no problem to cancel.

After that, I immediately placed my order with Staples - I could care less if it takes them 2 weeks to ship it, at least I saved $20 on shipping. The Play Store experience has me a bit soured on Google, but I still enjoy their products and I'm sure I'll enjoy my tablet.

My advice for any Canadians on the fence as to what to do, is to call Google and ask to cancel your order. They wouldn't let us do it before, but they're letting us do it now, I assume because they know none of the 16gb models have been processed yet.

Thanks, it's been a wild ride, and good luck to the rest of you.

[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
Is there still anyone out there that ordered on the 27th with no shipping email? I got my second CC charge, but I blieve its another authorization, can't be too sure because play store hasn't been updated with anything about being shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
damn really has it been that long since your order moved to top on playstore page as well?
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
Considering I ordered on the 27th.... Yes.... Yes it really was a long time before I got that charge. Was pretty excited to get it when it happened, but I'm beginning to think its just an authorization charge and was just a fluke to get me to think something is happening when really nothing is.
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
aye i'm in the same boat. some movement in my credit card today. but that's pretty much it. lol Hoping for a shipping email tomorrow morning. Us 27th people have it worse than anyone else in this thread IMO. Heck, we're not even going to get our cases we ordered with it in time. sigh.

[Nexus 7 General] bologdl:
Order 06/27/12 16gb with case I was lucky to purchase a Nexus 7 from Staples om 07/17/12. Today I had the pleasure to refuse my surprise over night shipment of my order. It would have been easier to cancel the order but just like trying to ship it it was just as screwed up in trying to cancel it by refusing the delivery. Google rules not mine.
[Nexus 7 General] bigbade:
no i meant did your order on the playstore page change 24 hours ago as well and still no shipping info or only a 2nd charge and no change in playstore
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Finally got that status update advising of delivery timescales. 00:50 uk time seems a bit random for it.

Still at least I know some part of the system is aware of my order.

16gb N7 UK ordered 3rd July.
[Nexus 7 General] TPizzle:
Well it did get bumped up but only the date changed to July 17th, the date I got the second charge.

Before it was June 28th, the date I got t he first charge. For the details itself, the latest update still reads:

Jun 27 Google Inc. received your order.

Oh yeah I'm going through these posts about these people saying how they still have no update and they ordered around the first week of July. Guess what everyone, you are NOT the last at all, there are still people out there (me included) it seems that have yet to even receive shipping info at this time, maybe they got charged, but it could just be a fluke trying to get us to think something it happening. I've learned 2 very important lessons from all this:

1) NEVER pre-order accessories

2) Never buying directly from google ever again unless left with absolutely no choice. Even though at first google left us with no choice when they announced this. Google = untrustworthy in my book
[Nexus 7 General] ten_fold:
All these people with news of their 8gb UK orders having a confirmation is making me sad.
[Nexus 7 General] Big_Ted:
Mine moved to the top with completed next to it on the 16th, on the 17th it changed to pending, cc pre auth on card on 16th, still nothing at all from Google, not even the bulk email.....

Same boat, ordered 16GB with case on 27th. Pending charge and date change on Play store yesterday. Nothing since.

damn that sucks my order from 7/6 updated to today was hoping to see shipping within 24 hours but i cant believe people like you from the 27th is nuts

27th order no shipping yet, preauth (the first one ever) last friday and it fell off yesterday, nothing else.

i'm going to need more than "free" overnight shipping to keep me from losing it if it doesn't land in my hands by friday.

I'm cancelling m online order. I'm here in Canada. I've had it preordered for about a week with no information from Google despite two separate emails on two different days, which were written nicely and with patience asking for an update. Its been 3 business days without a reply.

SO.............. they had some in stock at Canada Computers. I'm now setting up my Nexus 7 16GB. Thanks for nothing Play Store.:p
[Nexus 7 General] thugjedi:
Its officially been over a day since I was charged and saw movement on my playstore account and nothing since then getting charged means nothing
[Nexus 7 General] wublaze:
My order just jumped up first on my play page but not the wallet page, do I hope that's good news.
[Nexus 7 General] marcellus7:
I just want to say that the people who ordered the first week of July (including myself) are really in the same boat. We also pre-ordered not knowing a shipping date, expecting to receive our tablets at least before they hit retail. We're also stuck with the feeling that we could have ordered elsewhere or went into a store and picked them up instead.

The whole thing is really frustrating for everyone included I'm sure. Hopefully the end is near and we can all just talk about Jelly Bean soon, lol
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
Thanks for keeping me in check :( .. No more excitement from me. -___T

Lesson learned: Don't pre order first day. Don't buy accessories. Don't buy from Play Store unless necessary as someone previously noted.

Well they've decided to ship mine, ordered 8gb on the 9th july (London, UK), got the email now, and strangely lol got the reassurance email after that

My question is the tnt tracking number is a reference number or a consignment number?
[Nexus 7 General] MrSandy:
Awesome congrats!.... I have to wait until the 23rd when it is estimated to arrive but my levels of excitement are huge now I know its on the way. Think if I was in your boat I would certainly be taking the day off :)

No! See, when they take my money, that means they send me a nice e-mail TELLING me they took my money and are shipping. That's all I want! TAKE MY MONEY GOOGLE, TAKE IT! I want them to stop leaving me in limbo and just take my damn money instead of all these pre-auth things they're doing. TAKE IT GOOGLE, TAKE IT NOW!
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
No. They take your money and that's it. Nobody knows when they'll get an email. Could happen long after they take your money. I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not.

Got a email confirming the tablet has been sent out shame its still not registering on TNT site.

Wow, finally reached the end of this thread. Anyway, I ordered on 6/28 the N7 and a case. I got the pre-authorization charge yesterday and general email but, no shipping or tracking information. I was excited but, like someone mentioned, maybe the pre-charge doesn't mean much. Oh well, I hope they realize a lot of people are not ever going to pre-order anything from them again, including me. There is no reason to.

same with me but im in canada and ordered my 16gb the june 27th...how long does it take after they charge/nexus 7 goes to top of my orders?
[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
Haha, being facetious a bit. Yea, though..when they take your money it's supposed to be because they're shipping your item.

[Nexus 7 General] fr4nk1yn:
Was charged for the 16gb ordered on the 8th at 6:05 tonight, or at least they tried. Some indescript issue wanted me to update my info.

I'm assuming that will screw me. No other info since it was fixed and charged at 6:09. Have a feeling my Kindle fire will be in rotation a bit longer.
[Nexus 7 General] glowworm62:
It gets loaded onto a FedEx plane. Lands in Sydney, gets sent to customs, they delay for a while then release to Fedex, fedex come and pick it up and take it to alexandria where the pallettes are unwrapped, the goods moved to state and suburb deliveries... Friday 5pm hits.

Monday morning the goods are loaded on the FedEx truck and he starts delivering them to everyone.
[Nexus 7 General] Dethzilla:
Just got off the phone with Google and it's official...

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** THEY ARE DOING!!!!

Let me preface this by saying I did what Google asked me to do. From their website it said:

I ordered an 8GB standalone on Friday July 13th... Reading the answer which I was referred to in the email they sent... it said that mine was shipped.

I talked to the CSR and gave him my information.... I referred to the email GOOGLE SENT... The guy said... due to the overwhelming response we will ship your order out in 1-2 weeks. I said... but that's totally different then what your website says. He said something about the popularity of the device and how they were fulfilling orders as quickly as possible.

I told him I understood... but according to your website... and then I read from the page on their site. So I asked him... Has my order shipped or not. He says If I haven't heard anything in a week to give them a call back. I said... "you don't understand... I ordered from your site and it said it would ship in 1-3 Business days. This is the 3rd business day. Can you tell me if my order has shipped." Now at this point... well before this I knew he didn't know... but I was hoping he would give me some key insider information because I know he had at least 2000 calls prior to mine with the exact same question.... he sounded tired and frustrated. I felt bad. He said UPS has the order however they have to process each request one by one... when they get to mine I'll get a notice.

Bingo.

It all makes sense now...

Google fulfilled their part. Asus... they did their part. The Shipping companies said... "yeahhhhh... we haz delivereez skillz" and we can get the s**t to your customers quick. Then a Bajillion Million orders came in. They gave their people STACKS of orders to be fulfilled... stacks of them. Some of these people are really good at processing... some of them are slow lazy mentally challenged ****s. So orders are being shipped erratically because the some of the people processing the orders are more efficient than the others sitting to their left and right. The processors were probably Temporary employees who were given 8 minutes of training and sat in front of a large stack of orders and told to GO GO GO GO GO GO GO... Free Pizza and Pop and OVERTIME for everyone!!!

IN any event... I think this is why the shipping is sooooooo random. The distribution centers are doing it...
[Nexus 7 General] Smith7018:
Bull****. (Not you, but that reasoning)

Apple ships far more devices than this on the first day they sell a new iPhone or iPad, how come they don't bring UPS to a crippling halt?
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
So I was at Best Buy picking up a new television and noticed they had a couple 16 GB Nexus 7's, but instead of jumping at the chance to buy it, I just past them by. Either, I'm hoping that my device will be nearly flawless, or I'm going crazy.

HELP!
[Nexus 7 General] futuregerald:
they finally updated my order on the play store to todays date and charged me the full amount. I was pre-authed a week ago and that fell off normally. I'm hoping this means it either shipped today or is going to ship by tomorrow. I still haven't received any e-mail though, hopefully I'll wake up to something in the morning(in NJ).
[Nexus 7 General] marcellus7:
There's no way this even slowed the shipping companies down. This is a drop in the bucket compared to the shipments they move during the holidays.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Can you tell who ordered 16GB in Canada?
[Nexus 7 General] Dethzilla:
Wait... Best Buy has the Nexus 7? When the Eff did this happen?
[Nexus 7 General] vidanay:
According to many people on this thread, as well as what I was told by a Google CSR, they are shipping ~15,000 devices per day. While this seems on the low side to me, we can use it as a common reference point.

According to UPS, they handle ~15 MILLION packages per day.

So that means the Nexus 7 shipments are a statistical blip of only ~0.1% of average daily volume.

Google fail.
[Nexus 7 General] iucidium:
They throw lots of money at them.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
We paid $20 each for shipping up here, and we're only getting Standard service
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Lol you guys crack me up with these damn gifs....
[Nexus 7 General] Dethzilla:
Well... UPS and the others can only ship what they're told... Honestly...I was just trying to make myself feel better. I was totally happy with my explanation until you guys shot it all to hell... Now... I'm gonna go BING something. Eff you Google!!!
[Nexus 7 General] AaronDC19:
Well they only had a couple when I was there so I assume this week. I'm talking about Best Buy Canada, Trenton ON specifically, if it matters.

[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, Canada Computers, NCIX...there are literally dozens of locations selling these things in my city, everyone except Google that took our orders 3 weeks ago has them. It's where all the 16GB units went after Google took our uncancellable orders.

Very funny. I kinda miss this thread. I see its jumped several hundred pages since I received my nexus 7 early Tuesday afternoon. Unbelievable how some people here were the very first ones to do a preorder yet they still haven't received their device or any updates.

Hope you all get it sooner than later. Its a great device. More than exceeded my expectations based on how well its performing. I'm really liking this 7in. Form factor. Great for web browsing, watching movies, and gaming.

[Nexus 7 General] johnbobz:
So, like others, my N7 order has been updated to July 18th on Play. I see no change in Google Wallet, tho, and when I tried to check my account for a preauthorization charge, I couldn't. Either my bank's website is down, or Google knows what I'm trying to do, and they're trying to hide the fact that they haven't actually done anything yet by making sure Chrome won't load the page lol.

EDIT: I tried it in Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well. Either Google is being very thorough, or it's just the bank's problem ;)
[Nexus 7 General] svzurich:
And now it is nearly 8 PM PST. I was charged very early in the day, Play updated to July 18, but no shipping notice, wallet update, or UPS email. Where is my first day pre-order and why hasn't it shipped?
