if u put ur tracking # into ups and nothing comes up yet, that means ups doesnt even have the package yet! That means only the label was created, WTF! ups hasnt even gotten my package yet? so im thinking maybe wednesday or thursday?? omg!!! anyone else as frustrated as i am???????????
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
The first charge is usually a pre-auth charge which will fall off in a few days and then you will be charged later once it is ready to be shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] expertzero1:
Jesus bro its a pre Auth charge

Canadian order here: Ordered on the 29th, have heard nothing yet. A friend at work ordered on the 28th, same deal. I am have a very hard time finding any information online about Canadian orders at all, except a few Staples locations breaking street date, that's it. Looks like Canada, being a third-world country attached at the hip of the United States, will get it last, at this rate. Not sure what the point of pre-ordering it was, as I'll likely be able to just get it in a store by the time it shows up (ironically, at Staples).
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
well i just got mine not too long ago, so your wait shouldnt be too much longer now
[Nexus 7 General] jmbillings:
Good to see they've finally started shipping to you guys in the US. I'm now hoping something (anything!) happens Monday morning here in the UK because as yet zilch has occurred with wallet updates or my bank. And I ordered on the 27th while the keynote was still on...
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
If you are worried about UPS details when I check the link given by google I get no info. But if I log into my ups account I can see that a label has been created, it does not say anything about it having been picked up, but it says expected delivery 7/16
[Nexus 7 General] lauandyuen:
a bit crazy ! Still have not any email about shipping , 6/27 .

2 nexus and one case !

whats up !!!!!!!

[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
So those of us who ordered on the 27th with a case actually spending more money than the rest of you should just be happy that we get ours within the timeframe? Been arguments on what pre-order mean, but at least everyone agreed you get one sent to you in the first wave. I ordered day one and the first Google Play wave was sent out Friday. I was not in that wave. I paid for expedited shipping and frankly I don't care if UPS is at fault and didn't send the pallets chronologically either Google or UPS needs to refund me for my expedited shipping since my order didn't ship day one while others that ordered last week were in the first wave. I don't care when it is in the time frame. My order was held with no explanation. Playing the Google doesn't know any better this is their first tablet blah blah is the biggest line of bull**** I have ever heard in my life. They are Google they know more about some of us than we know about ourselves. I will not buy the ignorance card. They messed up the order of the orders and if they would of had free shipping in the first place no one would have any ground to stand on, but they chose to charge us for expedited shipping and now they need to show some accountability for this mistake.
[Nexus 7 General] jeh_:
It's the same thing? Why do you have to take the day off to wait for google to release a tablet? Why is it that big of a deal to you? Why does your schedule need to be cleared? The excuses people come up with for acting like children are pathetic at best.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Hahahahahahaha this post is hilarious! 10/10 will probably read again.
[Nexus 7 General] Hakizi:
So was the determination that they are not doing Saturday deliveries?
[Nexus 7 General] thomaskennedy:
Laugh Riot!!!

I have to thank everyone on this thread for keeping me entertained over the last several days. The level of angst raised to a feverish pitch until folks started achieving nexus-gasm.

Thanks again...
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Your comment would only be true if these tablets were not selling in stores already,

The fact that they are - and pre-orders are nowhere to be seen (especially outside US) , kinda makes the whole 'they said mid July & that's what they're doing' argument Irrelevant.
[Nexus 7 General] dtblair24:
I believe so. That would be one hell of a surprise though..
[Nexus 7 General] gtdRR:
I understand the disappointment. But people, Google said mid July and they are delivering! No where did they promise "if you pre-order you'll have it before anyone else." Those of us who did pre-order just assumed that.

If people want to be upset at Google and refuse shipment, that is okay. But for people to request waived fees or freebies from Google, that's just plain wrong. Google doesn't owe us anything other than a Nexus 7 tablet STARTING to ship by mid July.
[Nexus 7 General] ben dover:
My bro in law works at a ups distribution center. No Saturday deliveries on standard two day shipping
[Nexus 7 General] Hakizi:
The reason for that assumption is because that's what preorders historically are. At the very least, preorders arrive on release day. The only time a preorder arrives after release day is because something went terribly wrong, or in this case, the release was botched.
[Nexus 7 General] Exino:
A single Canadian pre-order ship yet?

Has any Canadians on this forum had their pre-order from Google Play actually ship?

It seems like only US and UK orders are being processed. Canadian B&M stores (such as Staples) are currently selling stock, and Best Buy and Future Shop have changed their release dates to an earlier date, but, still, not a word from Google Play.
[Nexus 7 General] Jonnyn93:
Thinking of cancelling my pre orde from google and going instore to hmv on Monday, I know I won't even get a notice till then, but can. Still cancel it now?, I ordered on the 30th of June?
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!! Google sent me my tracking number at 2 AM, and I just woke up! I ordered a 16 GB on Jun 30 from California! (Sorry if I missed anything from the last 500 posts, I was sleeping)
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. In the hope of getting it on the release day (which we do not know) due to popular demand. Yes retailers have started selling them but I imagine that Google did not want nor plan that and the release date was set for next week :p
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
I am guessing there will be no new charges till Monday? I really wish I knew just a date and final confirmation. I hope I am safe in assuming that I will be charged on Monday with a hopeful Wednesday delivery. Fingers crossed.

Sorry for all you guys who ordered during the keynote, i feel bad for those of you who have received No Update
[Nexus 7 General] doodads:
Meh, I learned a valuable lesson through all this and that is to never ever buy anything from the play store ever again.
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
That 'Something happened' was a faulty screen - the glue connecting the screen to the body was bad. I feel bad for all of those people who got their Nexii at stores because of that. I believe Google actually told B&M stores not to sell because of the faulty screen.
[Nexus 7 General] Wheelchairmitch:
So I just called UPS and asked for them to check on my package using the tracking number google sent in email. The guys said it most likely hasnt been shipped yet. We will see tonight I guess if they actually did get put on the trucks yesterday.
[Nexus 7 General] Big_Ted:
Where you going to buy all those apps that are only on the play store then ?
[Nexus 7 General] robertm2011:
My tab popped up as *Order Processed:Ready For UPS* yesterday afternoon... :-)
[Nexus 7 General] Beta Max:
The problem is there is no official release date and that is what is making people act like babies.
[Nexus 7 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Would people PLEASE stop spreading this rumor? We have NO proof that is what happened. Some jerk in this thread was trolling about it and now everybody thinks this is gospel.
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
Wtf Google,I'm glad I got the shipping email for one order, but how about the one from the first day it was available?

This really is the last time I purchase any kind of device that isn't already in stock from the play store.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I feel bad for people that believe these stupid theories.
[Nexus 7 General] JaZart:
What do you guys think of this case here:?

http://www.amazon.com/i-BLASON-Goog...=UTF8&qid=1342285351&sr=1-14&keywords=nexus+7
[Nexus 7 General] flyodd:
No we would all be acting like babies for some other reason. It gives us something to do with our lives.
[Nexus 7 General] Big_Ted:
The people who claim Google said its only on play........That was the 8GB version that they said would only be on the play store for the first month at least.

For all you who have entertained me with their posts over the past week I offer the following....

:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] b0bness:
Yeah because we had to clear our schedules for all mid July so we can have this magic square shipped directly to our homes!!
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
I called Google and they told me this. Someone posted a few hundred posts ago that they went to Sam's club and got a Nexus, only to have the screen ungluing from the body. The I/O version is reported to have this problem as well, according to many attendees. I'm honestly not trying to troll, just relaying what I've absorbed.
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
If Google gave two ****s about their customers they would have set a street date to enforce no one got them before they wanted them to, the penalties for breaking street dates are petty large, and thus most retailers won't d it, but Google doesn't really care about the end user, and never really has so we have what we have.
[Nexus 7 General] djnarcotics:
got billed yesterday around 3pm and received tracking number around 8pm so excited bought this case for it brings a free pen and looks sleek and simple
[Nexus 7 General] Big_Ted:
Looks ok but i would want a case that works in portrait mode like http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/271012957134?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&cbt=y
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
Really? Did you?:rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] mo976:
The UPS shipping label was created on the 9th but I was charged on the 14th so yeah I guess Monday shipping and Wednesday I will get it...
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
People expect orders to be processed in the order they are received. July 4th+ orders shipping after people that pre-ordered earlier is just a bit disappointing. I just think us vocal complainers are big supporters of Google and Android and that's why I clicked pre-order seconds after the link went live. (27th, 16gb + case & adapter, no charge, no response from customer service e-mails.)

Also, preorders are meant to reserve a copy but people are also used to receiving the item as soon as it is available, not later than everyone else. I'll live but I reserve the right to whine a little! (Yes, I would like some cheese! :))

This one goes out to Google (again) from us pre-orderers with accessories who can't get a solid answer to why: :laugh: (Oh yeah, and to our overseas friends who aren't getting any news either!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrmqvqu1ZWw

P.S. Thankfully no one around has them in stock or I'd be tempted. And yes I called!
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
Yes. I really did.
[Nexus 7 General] alpha11sponge:
Placed preorder for 8GB unit on July 11th, Shipped July 13th.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Agreed. Although saying they don't care is a bit much. But yes, fines for breaking street dates are huge! And with a black and white release date, it wouldn't have been abused.
[Nexus 7 General] Ichiban Rei:
On it's way!

I got my CC charged yesterday around noon, then at 2:30AM I received shipping info. Of course UPS says only a label has been printed, but in the additional info, it states Shipped/Billed on 7/12/2012.

So it gets here Monday? Probably not till Tuesday I would think, unless UPS is seriously delayed by 2 days.

Ordered the 29th, SoCal south bay.
[Nexus 7 General] NorthGuard:
I ordered the 16gb on July 6th and still haven't heard anything :(
[Nexus 7 General] Blainedh:
Hah, I don't understand it. Maybe as I get older and have more things occupying my time I don't feel this is a big deal at all.

My order has been filled and I will receive my tablet within the time promised by Google.

People got theirs before my June 27 pre-order? Meh, who gives a ****.
[Nexus 7 General] galaxyjeff:
The screen is held to the body by plastic clips. It isn't glued at all to the body unlike the way an iPad is held together with glue. So that rumor is bogus. :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I have not seen that Google CS is any better at not spreading rumors (at least from what people say they said) than anyone else on here.

Wait until a reviewer or testing organization looks at the supposed defect and reports on the cause.

Until then it is just a rumor.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I think an extended warranty would be the appropriate compensation. After all, they didn't give those that preordered early a chance to take advantage of the 2 year warranty at Sams club.
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
Good point... never thought about that :silly:

I take back what I said, but one of Google's customer service rep DID tell me that and I guess I wasn't thinking...
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
So be grateful you have a more interesting and fulfilling life than us uber nerds that really want their tablet... :)

Okay, I'm just speaking for myself. Want the new shiny!
[Nexus 7 General] galaxyjeff:
Stores only seem to carrying the 16 GB version. I preordered the 8 GB one. Maybe the only way to get an 8 GB Nexus 7 is by ordering it from Google. I hope the 8 GB one works good and doesn't run out of space too soon.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
So I assume some problems have surfaced with peoples devices? I tried looking through some of the previous pages but it seems to be nothing but anger. Could someone explain what is happening with the screens or any other problems people are having?
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
Agreed. Those guys have been spreading rumors like crazy as well. My bad (honestly, not trolling) for thinking I should trust their word.
[Nexus 7 General] gomorrah:
Ordered on the 27th. Got my credit card charged but no shipping info. Got fed up with the whole thing, went to Sam's Club (Raleigh, NC) and bought one. They were even on display. It cost me less that the Play Store and I'm posting from it right now. This thread was a welcome distraction but I couldn't take it anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] UnknownFearNG:
That's why I set up my Google Drive with 100GB for $5/month. Not a bad deal :P
[Nexus 7 General] Blainedh:
Hehehe I'm really excited for it too! I just don't understand all the vitriol, ranting and demands going on. :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Dead after about 3 hours of use, few dead or stuck pixels, think that's all I've seen posted.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
Oh ok. What's the whole point of a pre-auth charge? I've never ordered electronics from the play store but have from other places and never had that before.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I would not even ask that question for another week.

Once a lot of units are in peoples hands, we will know what kinds of problems are seen.

Every electronic device has some bad units - that does not mean you will get one.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
What did I do? I was just asking a simple question. It's not like I was freaking out, I wasn't even going to order a Nexus 7 but decided to.
[Nexus 7 General] Anakin_SW:
Refuse shipment of your N7 and make Google eat shipping both ways. I called them and they refused to refund my shipping and tax. I'll order it online in a week and save $40 across the two tablets I ordered. Send Google a message that they aren't going to abuse their loyal customers who preordered during IO.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Correct. Planning on waiting a bit to root until I'm past the beginning of the electronics failure bell curve.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Yeah, I don't understand the people that are like BURN IT DOWN, but I can understand some frustration.

Say you're in line at your favorite restaurant for a delicious artery clogging meal. You place your order and then a bunch of other people come in the restaurant and put in their orders. Then the server comes and and starts talking like Oprah and saying HERE'S A CHEESEBURGER FOR YOU AND HERE'S A CHEESEBURGER FOR YOU and handing them out to everyone... besides you.

Everyone is chowing down on their burgers, and they are like HOLY MOLEY this is the BEST DAMN CHEESEBURGER EVER. Then you try to ask the server where your burger is and they just stare at you like you're invisible. Then they finally answer and they're like "It's coming!" as they have two more cheeseburgers in their hands and hand them out to the guy behind you. And then someone yells, hey, they're grilling cheeseburgers in the parking lot and they're even cheaper! You ask for your money back so you can get one and the restaurant says, sorry... your cheeseburger is almost done!

We just want our cheeseburgers! Or jelly beans. ;)

(Ok, I know the tablet isn't food. Or water. Or shelter. I'm just being silly and enjoying a nice Saturday. /first world problems... be grateful for what we have!)
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
Logging into My UPS don't make any difference for me. My tracking number is still not in the system. When did you receive your email from PS?
[Nexus 7 General] bisto321:
I called Google.

They are ok, just chillin' this afternoon. Might go out for a few drinks later, catch up with a few college buddies they haven't seen for a while, not too sure - going to see what the weather is like.

Google's mom is ok, although pop has a bit of a cold and might not make aunt Maggies BBQ next weekend. Shame

Google's sister is being a little *****, as usual, and he may well just punch her straight in the face. Mom will be pissed though!

I only called to ask them about a UK shipping update! We are very polite over here and I though it would be rude of me to interrupt.

I did mention that he may like to drop the delivery charge or 'kiss my hairy ring' towards the end of the conversation, but I think the meaning got lost in translation and he started to go on about that bloody Peter Jackson hobbity thing.

I hung up.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
Still don't understand this whole "defect" business. Could they really turn around the stock in a few days and replace the "defective" units ready for shipment with new production units? Could the manufacturing process be changed in that short of a time? Why didn't they tell GS there was a defect, it seemed it was just to stop selling until they got the go ahead. Wouldn't they have warned them because of the mass returns? Something about this theory doesn't add up.
[Nexus 7 General] Mike Fitz:
Mmmm... cheeseburgers...

Actually, I got up at 4:30 am this morning and put big pork butt in the smoker, pulled pork and fresh grilled corn for dinner tonight!

When I got up there was an email from Google that came in at 2:14 am (central time) that my 16GB N7 has shipped. Ordered 7/10. Label printed but no shipping info yet from UPS.
[Nexus 7 General] jmbillings:
Nicely summed up!
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
Mmmm, grilled cork.
[Nexus 7 General] danlo:
What bothers me the most is the fact that there have been no responses unless you call in and wait 30+ minutes for a CSR. And even then, the message from Google is not consistent. For a company that is eager to make a splash in the tablet market against the 800 lb gorilla, this is not helping matters with the die hard fans. People like us that are so obsessive that we ordered the tablet during the keynote are the ones that evangelizes the product out there (i.e. free marketing). A simple email, a tweet, a G+ post acknowledging issues would go a long way.

Alright, rant over.
[Nexus 7 General] Crazypinoy9:
There wont be any activity with the tracking until the package gets scanned at the UPS sub station. Sometimes you won't see any actvity at all and then the package magically arrives at your door. It happens.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Because there was not a word of truth in any part of the story.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I don't hate Google, however I have lost a lot of the confidence I had in them as a company. They obviously make mistakes and bad decisions and have employees that might not be so competent. This will make me think twice (or more) before accepting another offer from them, like another preorder on a new release.

No, that would be patience. I still think it referred to students...
[Nexus 7 General] Dirtbound:
I don't disagree... Just pointing out how the word was being used. :laugh:

Everything else about his post seemed to address his current lack of "patience" which seems to be why he was pointing out the irony of being a former teacher which probably requires "patience".

Unless he was a medical instructor in which case maybe I am completely missing his point. :eek:
