it's really not about the dates for most, it's about different stuff for everyone, it's about the inability to change shipping or canx your order because they've been in shipping for the last week yet we paid for 2 day shipping and they still havent arrived, for some it's because they feel entitled, for me it's because I need to be home when its delivered or the the neighborhood kids might steal my stuff again, and I just want to know when i need to work from home to be there, its also about I want to make sure my credit card company doesnt think its a fraudulent charge again and delay it even further....

try to be a little more empathetic, some people have good reasons to want a date, are some just b1tching? yes, but what's the harm in letting them vent.....
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
I changed what I thought would be correct. ro.carrier in the build.prop, and no dice. Still saying T-CDMA 64. Blah.
[Nexus 7 General] mr1ncred1ble:
It is mid July, mine did ship, I did pay, can you explain why I can't get it? ...didn't think so
[Nexus 7 General] bucwylde23:
Yep, they sure did fool us. To me it makes perfect sense. If they had just said "we are going to release this on August 7, 2012" no one would be pissed up in arms or anything. They then could have allowed preorders and if they were able to ship them by "mid-july" then they would have been heroes.

Google is horrible for customer support and now I've learned they are worse at shipping. They should have let amazon handle the shipping for them, they know how it's done.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
seriously i am not out of my mind, people are stating that those who are complaining are whiny babies who have no right, i was just explaining that people here don't have a right to legal action, but they do have a right to be "whiny babies"

I know a lawyer who'll be happy to take your case, so long as you pay him a nice fat fee in advance. And he'll try his best. He really will. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
It said 1-2 weeks when I pre ordered it on July 9th, and still says that on the order page.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
no once again, you stated this incorrectly, people should want an explaination if it hasn't ARRIVED after the 20th not if it hasn't shipped.....if it hasn't shipped by the 18th, people can freak out then.....
[Nexus 7 General] El Daddy:
Exactly. And we are still well within that window.

I cannot believe most of the stuff I have read in this thread. Seems like the average age around here is 8.
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
Must recent ROMs already have they fixed, especially the AOSP ones. I advise you flash something else.
[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
This is wrong. Others are listing the 8GB version, they just don't have it up for preorder. They will be stocking BOTH.

http://www.officedepot.com/a/browse/tablets/N=5+518425/?hijack=nexus 7&type=Search
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Well, actually 1-2 weeks.
[Nexus 7 General] cheezcake:
Yeh but that would probably only apply for people who order at that very moment, the 2-3 week guideline should true for those who ordered earlier
[Nexus 7 General] brianbrain:
It's not about entitlement. It's principle. Handle your pre-orders first, and THEN handle everyone else. That's how pre-orders are supposed to work. Why did I pay extra on Google Play again? Oh right, to wait longer and pay more for the privilege. That's right, now I remember.

As I already said, my order is already canceled as far as I'm concerned - but seeing as how google won't let me cancel it, I'll just have to refuse delivery. I'll wait another week, buy it local, and save my money.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
ok this is my bad i have reread my post and see now why people have misunderstood what i wrote....i typed WHY, rather than WHILE...WHILE no one has a cause for legal action.....my bad...
[Nexus 7 General] Intune:
That's not true. They make servers and other network parts, In fact they are one of the largest hardware manufacturers in the world. They just don't sell these parts.
[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
Exactly. Why is it that hard to provide an actual date. The part that bothers me is I was an early orderer (6-27) and still no word. I just got off the phone with my local Sam's Club and they have 32 on order that will be there soon. So, I could walk in tomorrow and pick up and save myself the shipping costs. I pre-ordered early in hopes that I would get my order sent first. It's a simple concept really. Still, not a word on my order status.
[Nexus 7 General] bucwylde23:
I kind of agree with this. If they had the ability to ship all the tablets to the stores, why not hold off on that and use that effort to ship it to the pre-orders first?
[Nexus 7 General] cardsfan01:
shipping

I agree with the previous post, i expect to get mine in 1-2 weeks as stated on google play. If I get it before that is a bonus for me. When we pre-ordered this device we had that expected timeframe now everyone is going nuts because some stores have it before we do but they aren't selling them or shouldn't be if they are. I know everyone is excited but i can see this thread turning againts google for since they don't have their devices yet when all along Google offically said 2-3 weeks, now they are saying 1-2 so really we can't complain if we don't get them next week or the week after.
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
I don't believe considering Google partnered with ASUS that they are paying the same as B&M stores to stock the item and even if they were I once again say why do they need to charge us shipping? Why no free option for those of us that just wanted the tablet? I paid for shipping I didn't need being the only option and it seems like I will get my item no faster than anyone else. Completely wasted money. I got the 16gb version with a case so my unit with shipping was 299. Google is selling these tablets for cheap to make money off purchases from the play store. Money Google gets not these B&M stores and yet they still feel they can't afford to ship us the devices for free. I'm sorry but that's just taking advantage of those who have ordered direct, there is no other way to look at it.
[Nexus 7 General] Huey85:
Anyone know which couriers are going to be shipping Australian Nexus 7 orders?
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
No new charge here.order mine right when it came out lol....maybe your pending auth transaction went threw idk
[Nexus 7 General] Mist17:
According to Google Play it's FedEx
[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
Don't see anywhere that's FedEx.
[Nexus 7 General] clintkev251:
Nooooo anything but FedEx! They always ship to the wrong address for me
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
Excuse my language. But...

****ing Thank THE HEAVENS. Working at Officemax for a year, I saw just how crappy UPS services were. They dropped things on the ground, kicked em around. While FedEx actually gave a crap

lol
[Nexus 7 General] jfd107:
My favorite courier is FedEx. they always seem to leave my package in a nice little corner hidden away if im not home. hopefully you are right because in the off chance i'm not home, i still wont have to wait for a re delivery :fingers-crossed::D
[Nexus 7 General] Andrmgic:
Pending charge is gone.. funds are not yet available again.. will be watching with great interest.

(ordered july 3rd )
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I would prefer FedEx were it not for our UPS delivery man. He has delivered our packages pretty much wherever he sees us - shopping center parking lots included.

Small town... It is nice to know the delivery guys.
[Nexus 7 General] iwould4adollar:
I used to work at UPS, and let me just say that what you don't see is worse. I hope these things will be packed well. :(
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
Mine will probably get delivered by Canada post through Puralotor. What usually happens is that the courier will ship it to the nearest city then pass it onto Purolator which will bring it to my door VIA Canada post, this seems to add a day to it.
[Nexus 7 General] colonel187:
Just wanted to LOLz at everybody. There are 64 pages and counting about waiting for this tablet to ship.

I'm not going to lie I'm really excited too.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
Fedex is better for you guys? That's weird. xD

In my area the ups men are awesome, and like was said earlier knew the people and would give packages to you if he saw you somewhere else.

On the other hand, our fedex people don't care, and boxes from them are always beat up and mistreated. They are also always late a few days compared to ups. I'm always having to send stuff back if they come from fedex. :/

Difference in area I suppose! :p
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
Got my pre order from GS today. I was going to put 100 down then pay the rest along with trade ins of old 360 games. I traded in about 5 old super scratched I might add 360 games including kinect adventures and I got about 50. Now I'm looking to trade in old iPod shuffles and nanos lying around from years ago (before androids were invented). So buy the time I go to pick it up. I'll be looking at 50 cash. Lol. About 150 case for 16 GB. For those of youw wondering about the august release, the guy told me they were unsure and the dates were subject to change once they got the info and they would notify up my phone or email when ready. Hopefully that's the case. I sure hope I don't get it after staples and I sure hope I can get a white OEM backing to replace the black one with cause it looks sexy and my friends will bow down to me

^^woah that's a lot of text

[Nexus 7 General] Landara:
Hello I am a Google Customer Service Representative. We have been following this thread on our lunch breaks, it's quite entertaining! As to when the devices will actually ship, I'm afraid I don't know. If Google had wanted you to know then they would have told you. And if they didn't want you to know, they sure as hell wouldn't have told hundreds of us because we would just pass it on.

We've just been making things up as people call. We call it "Operation C.I.A.(Confuse the Impatient Americans). Najta came up with the "waves" bit. She's really smart but she won't return my calls =/ Just an hour ago I told a guy that they had already shipped and that if he didn't get his it's probably been stolen from his porch by one of his neighbors. He actually cried. It was epic. Youtube to follow. Anyway thanks for the entertainment guys!

Yours truly,

Rabim Shuktah

(You didn't think Google hired actual Americans to speak to other Americans did you? Would intelligent conversation even be possible in such a situation?! We are simply the Indian Call Centre A-Team)
[Nexus 7 General] Mischaseb:
Some of the people here are crazy, worse than the worst apple fanboys. Its a bloody tablet, most of you already have a smartphone and a computer, surely you'll be able to survive for a few more days without a tablet ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
It was 2 - 3 weeks in late June, you know, 2 weeks ago. They changed it from 2 - 3 weeks to 1 to 2 weeks a week later.

[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Ding ding ding! Exactly! :D

However, at this point I have joined the rebel Gamestop army as I wait for my preorder to ship.

Gamestop, let their people... err tablets go!

FREE THE NEXUS 7!

(c) :p
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Um no, you preordered from a "store" just like gamestop/staples/etc.... Stores ship inventory when they get it. Play Store is just another online store
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
I don't even understand what you're trying to say.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
No. It's Google. Not just another store.

People expect a little more from ordering directly from the source, and usually pay a little more for that. And we did.

All pre-orders should have been fulfilled. After that logistics was figured out and they were on the way, product could have then been sent to retail.
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
Even if that is what you meant, I haven't read a single post about anyone mentioning taking legal action....Want to here my reason why i'm furious about the way this is handled?

I'm going on vacation the 20th, and NEED to know a date. I've had packages stolen from my doorstep before and with 2 16gb Nexus's on the way, I'd like for that to not happen again. I need to know a date now so if i have to, i'm not springing a "Hey can you come to my house tomorrow around whatever time the UPS guy comes and get my package?" It'd be much easier for everyone if they just gave a ship date already. That way if I need to, I can let someone know in advance. That's my reason. Along with the whole principles part, if you order from the source you shouldn't be left in the dark. Do I sound entitled/bratty/whiney to anyone?
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
The rom on there now was one of the first ones released. I flashed it while using my Maxx since I would be away from my desk for a while. Just never got around to updating the rom since I'm back on my Nexus for the time being. I'll probably update it tonight.
[Nexus 7 General] jt.one:
:conspiracy keanu:

what if "ships in 1-2 weeks" means 1-2 weeks after pre-ordering has ended?
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
i'm guessing he ordered from gamestop and has paid for it and its sitting at gamestop for no apparent reason.

and again, i just want a date, so I can be home for it, so the damn kids dont steal my stuff AGAIN....
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
You probably knew you were going on vacation on the 20th before you ordered so you don't really have anyone to blame but yourself.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
YOUR REASONABLE LOGIC IS NOT WELCOME HERE! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
You just had to say that huh? :D LOL
[Nexus 7 General] bucwylde23:
Yep, not a good idea to preorder something with no set release date just a timeframe which coincides with your vacation. However, i think you will have it before the 20th.
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
Was there a reason you couldn't ship to where you would be at normal delivery time?
[Nexus 7 General] flub:
MY Nexus 7 clearly states on box

Made in China

Sorry guys no made in USA​
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
However, with two day shipping and a "mid-july" release, i'd expect it to come before the 20th. Even moreso, i'd expect that eventually they'd give a release date. I'm not complaining if it doesn't come before I go on vacation (although it'd be nice) I'm annoyed that I have absolutely no idea when this thing is coming
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Guy at GS just told me that they can't preorder anymore so it looks they may be about to release them! He actually figured that out while I was on the phone as he looked in the system.
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Well if it hasn't shipped and they don't know the exact day it's going to ship I don't see what they can do for you. Even Amazon sucks on that one. UPS will hold packages for up to 5 days if it arrives while you're gone, just call them when you have a tracking number and send someone to pick it up.
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
it's Google online store... it's "store"

people expect whatever they want even with no logical backing, just to whine later when their made up expectations aren't met wahhhhh. Only point for real comparison... do Apple iPads deliver to preorders before their store launch day? NO
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
Also I would just like to say, if Google is wanting people to use and adopt the Play Store as a means of reliable entertainment, I think there should be more clarity in the way it processes transactions.
[Nexus 7 General] ddialogue:
With local sales tax where I live, shipping cost vs. sales tax is almost a wash. In fact, I'm saving $4 buying from Google and having it shipped.

[Nexus 7 General] Atmazzz:
It was 1-2 weeks when I ordered on the June 27th. The next week it was 2-3 weeks. A few days later it was 1-2 weeks. Now its between 1 day to infinity.
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
According to the Engadget Poll 915 People have recieved the nexus 7 wereas 8646 have not :)
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
I don't see any typos on the box, so that was probably made here :D
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
We don't have Office Depot here, but we do have Staples and the Nexus 7 is back up on their web site, however, it won't let you order.
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
Why do people keep using mid July? On the order page it clearly said 2-3 weeks. I'm expecting to arrive on the 20th, anything else is a bonus.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Point taken!

Still think people expect more when ordering directly from the source though. Especially when they are thinking they might be in short supply or hard to get, which was definitely running through my mind when I made my purchase as soon as I could.

Didn't think they'd be sitting just a few miles from me at Office Depots and Game Stops! :)
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
if i had known when that was, certainly....however I don't know when that is, sometimes UPS is at my house at noon, sometimes they are there at 7pm...and sometimes my signature required deliveries are left at my door and sometimes they are not....
[Nexus 7 General] codygordon:
I disagree, whether you pre-order from Apple (for an IDevice) or MIcrosoft (for a game) everyone still gets it on the same day, and at the same price. If your mad that you paid *extra* aka SHIPPING, well yeah, you ordered from on Online Store, so they have to SHIP it to you. Ordering from the *source* doesn't make you special in my books, and apparently not in Googles either. Google Play is another online store.
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Ah I saw 2 - 3 weeks on the 27th, must have refreshed at a different time.
[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
First I was pissed of of the delay, but that's ok they still fit into the 3 week window. OK FINE.

But there are two other major ****-ups.

First they shipped to RETAILS few days ago and not to those who pre-ordered.

Second RETAILS ship the for free or EVEN ship them for free + 10pound off and you still get 15 pound google play.

And we also couldn't cancel our order problem more than a week ago, because THE SHIPPING PROCESS started(yeah to retails maybe).

So all you grown-ups please explain to me, why if I ordered on 27th June during keynote and paid for shipping, will get it later than those who bought through ebuyer.com or retails that have them stocked up and ready? Even if I receive it the same day as retail pre-orders, its still bull**** because I paid for delivery...
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
You should work on your comprehension. The guy just wants to know if needs to have a friend get the package for him. If Google would give a date he could plan accordingly so he doesn't have to tell someone the day of/before that they need to get a package for him. Completely understandable situation. Google is showing how much they don't understand customer service with this whole thing. When Amazon and Staples offer free shipping and constant notification of whats going on with orders it sets a tone for how other should act. It's fine if Google doesn't want to act that way but it "entitles" others to judge them negatively for it.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
What's the official launch date
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Staple's website also says - This item is currently sold out please check back between 7/14 and 7/18 as additional units may become available!

Odd.

I think I'm cutting Google slack since this is in effect a company that sells 3 physical items - The Nexus Galaxy, The Nexus Q and the Nexus 7 (and until a couple weeks ago, it was 1). I just don't expect them to have the same proficiency as Amazon or, well, Amazon. I'm also thinking Staples, Office Depot and Gamestop are getting delivery straight from Asus, not through Google.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Okay, I see your point.

Still think $13.99 for shipping was too much though. Especially when it's clear they could have shipped them at any time in the last week or so.

I hope the Verge or somewhere has a good long article about all of behind the scenes on this launch.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
LOL I bet you're right! Look for some fine print with something like "Box designed and built with care in USA, Tabret hastily made in Chena" :D
[Nexus 7 General] Bobb_o:
Then he shouldn't have ordered from Google. They didn't give a date and he chose to order anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] Nickcu13:
Wow a lot is missed when one goes to bed...

But prolly nothing important
[Nexus 7 General] quinnsdaddy11:
I ordered mine on the 29th of June and even though I would absolutely love to receive it today I have allowed myself to understand that I won't receive it until next week.
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
Does Apple charge for two day shipping!? NO!

I also love when I have had an account for months that I am still considered a new user that must be verified..........
[Nexus 7 General] gflare:
While some of it maybe... I think you may be confusing it with the Nexus Q, made in the USA.

As for my Pre-order: Ordered on June 29th, still no charge or shipping notice.
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
According to the VERGE
[Nexus 7 General] skappy7:
If it helps anyone decide anything, Staples said they will have the tablet in-stock on their website for anyone to order (not pre-ordering) on 7/15 and will ship in 2 days. I found this out over live chat
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
Well that means this Sunday which backs up what the Verge said :)

Update: Google has contacted Adorama and requested that the store immediately halt all sales of the Nexus 7. Adorama staff have told some customers that the tablet will be available again starting Sunday.
[Nexus 7 General] codygordon:
Personally I think Google should just have let the Nexus 7's ship directly from Asus, thats why retailers got them so quickly, and thats how Apple does it. Anytime you pre-order a new iphone or ipad it comes directly from Foxconn.
[Nexus 7 General] Mischaseb:
no, they just charge you 300$ extra for a product that you're only allowed to do with what they tell you :good:
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
They have free 1 business day delivery for anything over 50 bucks too.
[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
How many major online stores make you pay shipping when you have spent more than $100??? I work for a small mom and pop shop and they offer free shipping when you spend more than $50. Google also chose to only offer expedited shipping. Apple and Microsoft don't charge shipping when you spend a bunch of money with them. Am I the only one that sees this?
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
you paid extra for the tablet? did they specially build one for you with more internal memory?

oh right, you paid $250 just like what all the other stores are charging, and then sales tax and shipping, which you knew well in advance.

that's right, now you remember.
[Nexus 7 General] adomanico01:
That's 100% your own fault. Have to post 10 times before you can be verified.
