16GB june 28 order - bank charged

made me a bit hype, not going to lie. but this just means i'll get it by monday or tuesday.

this is going to be a long weekend. :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
Google really does need to make this right. Seeing how I am going on vacation, I wont get to play with my nexus until next saturday at the earliest. The fact that I could have picked one up at the store for $14 cheaper sooner is upsetting to me.

At the very least I want my $14 back
[Nexus 7 General] jeh_:
A fraud? You can't be serious.

Everyone is assuming that the supply chain looks like this :

Asus ships to Google.

Google stocks stores.

Eventually later google ships to neglected pre-order customers.

When it's more likely that it looks like this.

Asus ships (through it's normal distribution channels, which they have had years of practice at) to it's retail partners ( includingGOOGLE PLAY STORE, who receives the lions share of them)

Stores begin to ship their allotment.

Obviously gamestop has more experience dealing with pre-orders and things like this, since they do it multiple times a week.

Obviously people who walk into these retail locations are going to get their tablets before you, assuming there is free allocation, because they don't have to be shipped again.

stop crying. google isn't trying to keep you from your tablet.

[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
Google really pulled thru on this launch. They did EXACTLY what they said they would do. Ship mid July.

Thanks Google. I would buy from you again. Good smooth transaction. AAA+

[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Yes, Google did exactly what they said they were going to do. Ship mid july.

However, retail being to sell it early. I think thats why people where urked instead of a launch where retail stores and google play got it on the same day.

Sam's club came through for me. Called the store and asked of they had any and they said they didn't and weren't getting any.

Since I'm persistent and didn't believe them I went after work anyway.

They looked up the item number and turns out they had 5 in stock and they were still in some back room.

Good luck everyone!
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
Think of it this way. We might not have got our tablets first, but at least we we will get the lovely android updates way before non jelly bean devices :-) I am interested in the software as much as the hardware!
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
IMPORTANT!

I got the same thing, really I did. You have to be firm with them and make them call corporate if you have to. Tell them that the hold was due to Asus pre-shipping the devices to retail without Google's permission. Google put a hold on all vendors which was released today. Ask them to check on it, and they will. I believe you should be getting one if they have them in stock. It is no longer pre-order, as the devices are on the shelves. If you can get someone to admit they have them in stock, do not give up until they sell you one. I got the same thing at Sam club when I called and when I showed up. But I told them this was no longer the case, as all other Sam Club across the US are selling now.

Good Luck, it is a fun device to play with man I am having a BLAST!
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
Has anyone in Canada received any kind of info? It's more than a bit annoying that I could just go to staples and buy one, mind you I would have to pay $30 extra but I would get the 16gb.

Ordered an 8 Gig on the 28th mid-day. Play store updated my order to today's date about an hour ago and Just got the CC pre-authorization about 5 minutes ago. Wouldn't it be great if they show up today? I'm in Chicago and UPS doesn't normally deliver to my building until after 5PM so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to be disappointed. ;)

[Nexus 7 General] DrHenley:
Kick in the gut

Pre-Ordered a 8 GB on Play early on the 27th, haven't heard a peep from Google.

I just went to Sam's out of curiosity and sure enough they had 10. That special feeling I had from ordering direct from Google right after the launch has been kicked in the gut... :(
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
So now I see they have these in stock at the Canada Computers down the street. Sorry but that's crap, I didn't pre-order 2 weeks ago for the privilege of waiting longer.

Maybe they should change the definition of the preorder on Wikipedia to include "also used to rope in early customers, then ship the first units to new customers because the preorders are committed anyways".
[Nexus 7 General] Sold2U:
I was there at about 430 today. I saw someone buy 3 of them then the last one was sold out from under me. I had never been there before, and I have to say that place is kind of a clusterfck.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
CORRECT!

You are correct, I posted this a while ago as I did the same. Sams Clubs have released for sale nation wide. They have 5 units per store, and that is it. One of those units will be on display so only 4 to sell. Congratulations....I am having a BLAST!

BTW it seems Gamestop have now officially lifted their ban on sale too. It looks like its on for the 5 units per store at Gamestop, Office Mx, Staples, Sams Club. Go get 'em!!!!

[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
Poor planning? Not poor planning on my part. When I preordered my N7 soon after it was announced, the only place to order was google. They even intimated (or at least i understood albeit incorrectly) that play store was going to be the only way to preorder. Its logical to conclude that I am going to receive it first. I was fully prepared to have to wait a week to play with it, although I had hoped it shipped before I left on vaca. But to have it available locally cheaper before I go on vacation is kind of a slap in the face. I am going to attempt to wrangle at least $14 from google. If I can great, if not well I'll get over it.

My 16gb was charged a bit ago as well. It will probably be delivered tomorrow grrrr

[Nexus 7 General] Sold2U:
I think that they are actually out of them. I saw the hold in the computer, and the guy called the manager to bypass it without me asking anything. Then I waited there and the guy came back and said that they had just sold the last one. In any case,I had to catch a train so I couldn't wait around while they should and triple checked.

A lot of people really need to get some perspective. It's a small electroic device that really is not going to make that much of a difference to your life and you're likely to receive it in a few days anyway

[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Paulding county ga here!

Stromos, we are good here in GA. Find a Gamestop, Sams Club, Staples and you should be able to purchase on now if you want it and then sell the one from Google later. I pre-ordered on June 27 for a 16G Nexus 7 plus ugly grey case. I have gotten nothing on email, nothing on My Choice UPS, NADA as far as notifications. The only thing we do know is that Google Play representatives now say first wave is shipping. Across this Forum we have LOTS and LOTS getting charges today but NO notifications at all. I am thinking Google knows we are mad because ASUS screwed them over and sent the devices to retail on July 10-11, and all stock is received now. Then as the stores got them inevitably they sold some, employees bought some and they leaked out. Now Google just said to hell with it and released all retail for sale. So Google is charging us June 27-July 1 pre-orderers now so they don't lose the $$ from those os us that went and purchased at the store. Once those charges are complete they will probably send a big batch of notifications on shipment this evening. We will probably all get notifications at exact same time. Remember they are on west coast USA time (GMT -8 I believe), so right now its not even 3PM yet. Ill bet in the next 3-4 hours we will all get your item has shipped notifications and Tuesday by COB we will have our Pre-Orders on our front doorstep while thousands are already playing with their store bought devices.

Hey guys does anyone know how to get the $25?
[Nexus 7 General] Sandman2749:
Okay. I'm getting off of this crazy train. Just walked out of the South Calgary Staples with my new 16 GB Nexus 7. I ordered an 8GB through Play and tried to change to a 16 but they said it was too late to cancel. The shipping I am saving pays for almost half of the jump to the 16 GB.

Now I can get back to my regulately scheduled programing. :-)
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
go get it and sell the play store version locally or on ebay. highly doubt you'd have a hard time selling it since other stores are saying august/september as when they'll have it again.
[Nexus 7 General] jsebol80:
Called my local Sam's and they have none in stock, and haven't received their shipment yet. They aren't scheduled to receive theirs until late next week.

Hopefully Google sent mine out this morning with a Monday ETA. I'll just have to look at my Kindle Fire in disgust until then.
[Nexus 7 General] hyperdude111:
I believe it goes to the first google account you sign in on with your nexus. However I could be wrong because mine is yet to arrive.
[Nexus 7 General] UpTheDownstair:
It seems like it gets credited to your account as soon as soon as you register it to your google account
[Nexus 7 General] AchilliesOmega3:
It will be in the next edition of Webster's digital dictionary- available via Google Play Store... ships mid-december. Pre-Order now...
[Nexus 7 General] dmckilla77:
Would have been nice if they upped our shipping to overnight but that's a long shot because they didn't really promise us an exact date just mid July which is like this weekend early next week. You gotta hand it to a company just think of how many they have to ship that's a lot freaking work.

Perspective end.....
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
I'm not all that mad, but it's pretty dumb to order it two weeks ago and pay for $20 shipping then see that I could have walked to one of multiple stores and gotten it without shipping costs today. I'm paying $20 extra to not get it until next week.

Is it that important in my life? No, but it is preorder fail no matter how you slice it.
[Nexus 7 General] Montaberne:
Any news from Canadians?

Guess we'll have to wait until Monday to possibly have some information.

I wonder why there is no activities on our orders? Are we that far? With the price we paid shipping and the information given from google and whole process (same as you southern neighbors) , I seriously thought for a second we would have the same service. I sent an email 2 weeks ago and still waiting for a reply.

As an empire based on communication, Google think it's a one way kind of communication.
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
The crappy thing is that they start shipping on a Friday... rendering 2 day shipping useless. It adds salt to the wound. I understand some of the logistical problems, but Google does not know customer service at all. You can't replace that with the cloud

You are right, people really need to start looking inwards and realise that it is not the end of the world. The world keeps turning and we will all get them eventually.

Hey everybody...I don't know if this has been brought up by anyone but on June 7 I bought a Galaxy Nexus directly from the play store. I also ordered an N7 on the 5th. Ever since both transactions have listed as "received by google". Anyway, today UPS shows up with my Galaxy. My Wallet account has not changed, have not been charged, ten minutes after opening it I got an email from the play store saying the Galaxy has been shipped. So, sorry if that's too wordy but don't get hung up on updates to any of these accounts. Good luck on your deliveries.

Automagically appears $25!

Its automatic. When you get your Nexus 7 you have to go through the normal setup process by logging in with your gmail account. Then when you get through the process boom, it says you have $25 credit in Google play store. Its simple!

[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
some who preordered thought that innitially the Play store would be the only place to buy it (like me)

some who preordered wanted it early, due to the summer hollidays (like me)

some who preordered bought not just a device, but the idea of having it early and in 3 weeks. That would cost a delivery fee and taxes, both that could have been avoided if we would buy it a month later online from HK. Delivered at door is actually inconvenient, because you don't know when they will come. And if you don't live in the jungle, there will be many shops around to buy it whenever you want, LIKE SATURDAY MORNING....

I preordered to have it on time for my holidays and because there was no other option. i paid for that a "delivery" fee. Now I am a hostage. i want to press cancel and move on. i'll buy from a shop the nexus 10 in October. Since you have not charged me or started delivery, let me cancel my order

This is why it sucks, "prospective" douches:p
[Nexus 7 General] thevuman:
Ordered from staples. Just got order confirmation, but no shipping confirmation. Says it is estimated delivery of 16th.

You assumed it was only going to be available from the Play Store. You assumed preordering mean you got it before anyone else in the world. And you assumed that you'd get it in time for your vacation, even though it clearly said ships in 2-3 weeks. What did Google do wrong, exactly? Believe me, I'm upset also, but at least some of this is outside Google's control, especially since they don't make hardware, nor do they ship things.

Called Sam's club they have 5 in stock at the back like everyone else here said, I don't have a membership though. contemplating what to do.
[Nexus 7 General] EVO DL:
I can confirm that. When I called Google I didn't want to open a Wallet account. I asked the CS if there is a store I can get it from. He said "NO". I asked again, if there is any online place I can get it. "No, only directly from Google Play". I asked AGAIN to verify, if after the pre-order period if ANY other stores will receive it IN THE FUTURE. His answer gain "NO, it will only be sold directly from Google". He said I could open a Wallet account and just cancel that account later if I didn't want to have that.

So there it is. Had I known that I had other options, I would have considered my options. But to buy it from Google on Jun 30th, Pay for the shipping, wait after local stores have it and sell it. Yeah, that was not a good customer service from Google.

As of now. My CC has a pending charge for the $200+ since 11AM this morning. Nothing from Google. No update on my Wallet (Still says that "Your order has been sent to Google Inc.." Nothing on My UPS. Google doesn't say "Completed".

I'll wait. But if I had known on Jun 30th that Staples would have it. I'd buy from Staples. 100% buy from Staples.
