I don't think you get it.

I'll give you an scenario from your own example.

Lets say you promise your customer something in a month. He then two days later tells his friend how he was pleased with meeting you, and recommends you to his friend. His friends order from you and you promise him to get that in a month. A few days later he tells his friend and that third friend is calling you and makes business with you, and you promise him to get it in a month. That's how you would like your business to develop based on recommendations. You end up with a chain for a few friends who gave you business and you promised each one to get it in a month.

Then you deliver to client #3 first.

Then a couple of days later you deliver to client #5 who just ordered from you a week ago.

Then you deliver to client number 4.

By that time, the other clients start wondering what's happening and they call you inquiring about their order. And you tell them "It's not the end of a month yet, you'll get it before the end of 30 days".

They complain that they are waiting 3 weeks already and the others who just came to you 1 or 2 weeks ago already got their service.

You tell them "I promised you one month, I am still good for the one month. That the other customer got faster service is none of your business".

Don't tell me that this is how you run your business. You know what would happen to your reputation if you do this. Regardless if they'd still get it within a month.

What you have created would be a group of customers who decided that you treated them unfairly. You might disagree with them, but they would be right.

Another example? You see the pizza in my avatar? Lets say I have a pizzeria and a big sign outside saying "15 minutes service guaranteed!".

A customer walks in, I take his/her order and tell them to wait.

A second customer walks in, I take their order and give them the first pizza. The first customer looks at me confused but says nothing.

A third customer walks in, I take his order and give him the second pizza.

The first customer starts yelling at me. He is waiting and I am giving his pizza to customers who came after him????

I tell him "you see that sign on the front? It is still 12 minutes now. I have 3 more minutes before I pass the guaranteed 15 minutes. Why are you whining?".

YOU on the other hand might be one that doesn't care to sit there for 30 minutes and wait while reading your emails. You are not hungry and you have time to burn. That doesn't mean that the other customers that I mishandle are cry babies - just because YOU are not hungry and have time to burn.

Google screwed up big time. That that you don't mind it yourself, doesn't mean that everybody else here who do, are not 100% right.

i ordered my 16GB on June 27th and i havent seen crap from the yet.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
That only means a shipping label was made by the shipper, in a lot of cases the product will not be picked up by UPS until Monday. Two day shipping from Monday would mean Wednesday delivery.

Let me put it in a different way.....

Regardless of date ordered, anyone from MICHIGAN got an email or something?
[Nexus 7 General] booyakasha:
The problem I have is Oh well, Google!. They can't afford that. They needed this, but, in my mind, they failed to deliver. I really appreciate your sanity, its refreshing in this thread. Don't get me wrong, I fully agree, it's really unneeded publicity for them, though. As someone previously said, there are thousands of NEGATIVE posts (on XDA, nonetheless, a very popular dev site) preaching anti-Google messages. I understand, no publicity is bad publicity, except for this...if that makes any sense (emotion is starting to come through now, so I'll stop).

[Nexus 7 General] subtr:
(Oh, hi. I'm new.)

I've read as much of this thread as I can cram into my head without risking the loss of my sanity, but I had a thought re: apparently scattershot shipment. Those who ordered early and haven't gotten shipment notices, did you click the "Set up my account with this device" checkbox? The extra step might be slowing down the process.

Apologies if this has already been posited, but as mentioned above I haven't managed to follow every post in this chaotic thread.

Also: Ordered ~11:30AM 30 June, charged around 4pm today but no ship email yet. I did check the "set up account box.

[Nexus 7 General] rlh445:
I gotcha bro. They did fail to deliver. After all is said and done, we're all gonna have our Nexus 7s and we're all gonna be in a similar thread about Nexus 10s except everyone is gonna pre-order at GS, Staples, Best Buy, etc. instead of their Play Store in a year or two. They messed up, and instead of being upfront about everything, they're just trying to sweep it under the wrong. I'm not sure why, but that's what Google's doing right now. Who knows, and who cares. We're all gonna get our 7's and this thread will die. The only thing that won't die (for me anyway) is the fact that dealing with the Play Store is stupid and I'll ALWAYS deal with the BM retailers. Google could have prevented this but they didn't. No biggie, but I do feel for them. I think they honestly didn't figure out that their brand new Nexus would be as popular as it was. Next time, they'll know..but as far as this little black duck goes, it'll be too late.

[Nexus 7 General] booyakasha:
Again, much like the last guy I quoted, I completely agree with you. So long as it gets to me in the time frame specified (2-3 weeks, in the context of a mid July ship date), I'm happy. Given the circumstances of the Google Play ecosystem, as well as the real-estate their fighting for, don't you think it might have been in their best interest to address customer #1 before customer #3? Just saying...they're in a market where PR is taking a forefront, they are showing that they aren't on our level.

As I said previously (and I'm not a fanboi to anyone, mind you), I ordered an iPhone 4S about six months ago, fairly soon after launch, and was able to have the product in hand within 5 days, or so, of placing my order (NOT preorder - mind you). Google should be striving for BETTER customer service than that, in my opinion, given the amount of competition in this market.

[Nexus 7 General] booyakasha:
I missed your response while writing my own reply to you (or someone similar), we're on very similar wavelengths, and I couldn't agree more. I wanted the Devices section of Google Play to be the go-to, I'm afraid they missed the mark on this release though. That's disappointing to me. I was proud of that fact that I utilized Google's baby to order my N7. Unfortunately, they failed to reciprocate, though.

Yah my credit card got charged early afternoon, but still no email :-/ I'm in CA ordered 6/30 16GB
[Nexus 7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Heres my Nexus 7 Play Store/ Gamestop story. I preordered the 16gb from the play store on the 4th. My card was charged the full amount (Its a Prepaid Mastercard) with a pending status. It stayed at that up until today. I was sure that there was no money left on that card due to the nexus order. But today I checked the balance and it said $269 available. So I checked and the order was gone from my Mastercard transaction history, no withdraw or refund showing at all. But my Google order history still shows my order. So I decided to withdraw that cash and call local Gamestops. I called 5 stores near me and some said they had it but they only had preorders, some said they coudnt sell it until August?, and one of them said they had it in stock, so I double checked with them that if I drove there I could buy one now, and they said yes. So I went there and they had 2, so I bought one. I have no idea what happened with the order I placed with the Play Store, and really dont care now that I have one. But its strange that it still shows as a valid order, but no pending charges or refunds on my Mastercard account. :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
The fact is that local UPS centers do not pick up after business hours unless the shipper pays extra for it. So unless the tablets were handed over to UPS by close of business today, in most cases they will not be picked up until Monday morning. That will mean guaranteed two day delivery on Wednesday. It could be later if Google don't have the shipments prepared for pickup on Monday morning. Those with delivery times assigned would be those that were picked up today.

Personally, I am expecting delivery next Wednesday.
[Nexus 7 General] TalB123:
Same stats, but not even a credit card charge :(
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
I'm not sure Google cares about being a hardware seller. They're not trying to generate a direct profit. Their business is ads, and content too I guess.

For many of us "rabid" Android fans who pre-ordered, yes this intro has been rotten.

But for "average people" who stroll into a store and buy one, because everybody was saying it's great, they will likely know nothing of this and they won't care. And they shouldn't.
[Nexus 7 General] wasscomedy:
I got a tracking # and my card had been charged.. I got the 8gb.. I ordered on the 29th at 523am.. On ups tracking page... It says that the "label" was made on the 5th of July
[Nexus 7 General] lazl0:
When I ordered my galaxy nexus from play ups processed the order on Saturday though.

my other phone is Nokia maemo n900
[Nexus 7 General] findmike:
No, your rant (like this one) was just silly. When I pre-ordered every one of the things you listed they TOLD ME what what came with the pre-order... just like Google did - a tablet shipped within 2-3 weeks. For your termite deal above... why would I be pissed? I have no idea what deal the neighbor negotiated with the exterminators... maybe the neighbor owns multiple houses in each city across the entire country and has renters that plan on moving in to the property in question thus they want to make sure it's done in advance even though the renters aren't moving in until the same day you get your house done. It could just be logistics of freight movement and even once you get that... you still shriek when the renter moves in a day or two early thus denying you the privilege of being special.

Honestly though it's a tablet, it's shipping soon. I'm happy. I'm sorry your not. When you open your multi-billion dollar software / hardware empire I will fully anticipate a higher level of service which in this case would be... well honestly I can't think of what would be better but I'm sure you can and that's all that's important.
[Nexus 7 General] Freshgeardude:

Save your Google Play Bucks!

Just took 20 minutes downloading Nova 3 for the Nexus 7 and it's a no go. It crashes the second after you click the icon. So if you were planning on getting it with your Google bucks, don't waste your time. Your refund will be unavailable by the time if finishes downloading. I wrote an email to the developer Gameloft and plan to dispute it if I don't hear back from them by the end of next week.

Just wanted to save you guys $7 bucks!

I assume we are still waiting for UK play store orders to ship?

I am starting to see how influential the project diarrhea team has been with the N7 launch.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Would be interesting to see if they ship it to you. This "fiasco" might result in various screw ups.

That said, perhaps the delays are in part due to a stringent "ensure we get paid before we ship" policy. Not sure how that would work when they allegedly sent them to local staging areas prior to "final shipment". A manual process with people that is almost guaranteed to have a certain percentage of human screw ups perhaps ? (To err is human of course.)

I presume there is some way they can come after you for the cash if they ship it and you accept it ?

Okay. I'm not sure how to explain it if you're going to 'feign' obliviousness (the quotes were if you actually aren't feigning). If you can't understand what I was trying to say, there's no use. I'm glad you're happy in your ignorance; it just makes my point stronger. If you can't see that at the very least Google has made this SUPER HARD FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED well than you're just another guy or gal (I'm never one to leave out the sexes) who's ready and willing to take it up the tailpipe for as long as it lasts just because. As usual the whole, 'When you have your own company,' straw-man shows its ugly head and reveals that you really have no argument to stutter forth and therefore no more time should be wasted on you. I don't need to own a multi-billion dollar company to know when I'm being shafted and that's exactly the problem with people like you; you think in terms of *strictly* dollars and cents and that's the only rule of law you follow. I feel sorry for you, mike, and hope you find your way soon. You, mike, are the type of person that put Apple in the drivers' seat for the last ten years. That's......that's just sad. Cheers!

Online posts tend to have that effect on potential viewers though, so I can understand how you came to that conclusion.

After itching to pull the trigger I finally placed my order in the Play Store. I did it for two reasons...1. I'm very impatient when it comes to things that I want, but searching from store to store trying to find a device works my nerves even more....so I will wait my few days knowing that I will get it. 2. I know that I paid shipping and didn't really save THAT much...but the $25 credit to the store will make up for it a bit as I know when I get it I can load it with apps and "feel" like I got a deal...lol

Yes, you're right, ordering something and getting it when they promised is super hard on everyone, I really do feel like I have been forcefully sodomized now. I think I just needed you to explain it to me. I wish I had come to this realization sooner so that I could have felt bad the whole time instead of just whistling a happy tune and looking forward to my tablet showing up next week. When it comes, right on time, just like they said it would, I think the first thing I'm going to do now is kick it. I'm so mad at it. Stupid tablet and stupid Google for sending it to me just because I ordered it.

Honestly, Thank You. I feel so much worse now, I'm angry and uptight, looking for fault even where there isn't any. I just yelled at my girlfriend for bringing me a cup of coffee I asked for. I think you may have changed my life.

CA nexus order here

Hey guys, I'm new here. I've been following this thread closely and can't believe how much attention it's gotten. I too ordered the N7, and being in California, I still haven't gotten anything shipped or even withdrawn. I went to GameStop today to place an order for another one and when they went to place my order their SKU # was blocked. I'm not sure what that means.

Hopefully us California peeps get some sort of sign soon. Cheers! :)

Hehe. Awesome. If people were getting it when Google promised, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The fact that Google never actually solidified anything beyond a vague pro-noun is obviously flying over your head, but that doesn't surprise me. I also wish you had used your senses earlier than you did so that we could be soul brothers in arms in the major fight against Google, but alas, you feel that whatever the 'master' says is right. It's tragic to me as well, mike, let me tell you. When it comes 'right on time', you be sure to let this thread know because as far as I know, there ARE no times that have been set by Google. I'm really excited to hear about it. Hopefully you DID yell at your girlfriend. It's two o'clock in the morning and the last thing she should be bringing to you is caffeine filled coffee. Chain her up in the basement and teach her what for, sir!
