Hi!

I would like to PreOrder a Nexus 7 from Ebuyer and have it send to me with Borderlinx. Some People mentioned problems with cancelled orders, so i'm afraid of doing something wrong. Could somebody write a quick 'How-To' of what they did to order from ebuyer with borderlinx? Or if somebody allready did, could you link me to it? I've got my German Visa card connected to Google wallet.

I hope my english is understandable :laugh: Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Well, I ordered one from ebuyer two days ago and my order still isn't canceled. The only thing you have to do is make sure your billing address in Google Wallet is set to your Borderlinx shipping address. They check these if it's your first order. I sent two mails and in both they reassured me the order is fine. But, you never know. My first order got cancelled because shipping and billing address didn't match.

Also, the order didn't show up in the 'my orders' page. According to ebuyer, that's because I paid with Google Wallet.

Just to be sure (and because my girlfriend wants one as well) I also ordered one at officedepot.com. Here, you also need a US shipping and billing address. For this, I used comgateway.com for a US address and their BuyForMe service because officedepot doesn't accept non-us cards.

Good luck :-)
[Nexus 7 General] barthie:
the sentence in the email that states they "reserved your Nexus" leads me to believe that they allocated my tablet from what they are expecting and i'm not on a waiting or backorder list.

very anxious to get my hands on this. i've tried using my wife's kindle and don't like the interface at all (and i'm not allowed to root it). she told me to buy my own, so i ordered the nexus :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] BurnRubber90:
The office depot method works? I don't want to get my order cancelled again (as Wallet did )
[Nexus 7 General] delta136:
I placed a preorder through Gamestop and what a slickdeal (thanks for the heads up slickdeals!)

Bought two ipod touches off craigslist for 60 and 65

Traded them both in for $240 credit

270 (after taxes) + 125 (craigslist ipods) - 240 (trade in credit) = 155 for a brand new Nexus 7

freakin SCREAMING awesome deal. whooooooot

Can't wait to get my hands on this tablet, especially for such a killer price. Thanks slickdeals and gamestop LOL
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
I'm pretty sure it works because comGateway's BuyForMe service actually buys the item for you from the US. You have to pay for the item upfront, plus a fee of 10%. Not too bad, considering you'll receive $25 credit on your office depot Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] DLPLonny:
Google Wallet is asking for "County" in an UK adress, but Borderlinx isn't showing anything like this. What sould i fill in there?
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Nothing?
[Nexus 7 General] BurnRubber90:
They are not a very known company.. i guess i'm going to wait a bit more and order the device on BH Photo.
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
My order from Office Depot now gave me expected delivery date of July 24th. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
ya.. i'm also using that service.. lazy to fill in address. but did comgateway/deport gave u a date of develiery like wat others mentioned? i didnt receive any. which country are u from?
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
YOU ARE AWESOME. I mean lucky. Wish I new of that sweet deal, I still got a good deal, but the only thing better than a Nexus 7, is a Nexus 7 for over $100 off.
[Nexus 7 General] Shromz:
I ordered one of my Nexus 7's from office depot and just got through talking with the robot like Live Support haha, here's what he said.

My question: There isn't a release date for the Nexus 7 date but my deliver date states that I will get it on the 16th... Will I still get it then?

yeah, and I'm Dimitri

[Paul: Hi Dimitri, Welcome to Office Depot. I am Happy to assist you.

Paul: To verify may I have the order number

Dimitri: *BLEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Paul: Please give me a moment while I check that for you

Paul: I checked with the item and you will be receiving the as it is mentioned in your order.The delivery date is Monday, July 16, 2012 08:30 AM - 05:00 PM

Dimitri: To my house correct?

Dimitri: Even though the item has not been released in stores yet?

Paul: Yes, You will be receiving the item to the address *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP*

Dimitri: Even though the item has not been released in stores yet?

Paul: We expect the item to be released by this weekend. So you will be delivered in time on the mentioned date.

Dimitri: Well, thanks

Paul: You are welcome.
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
mon day send to ur house, then mayb tues/wed then reached ur house? dont tell me mon send to ur house, within hours will reach ur doorstep..

BTW deport provide free delivery with in their area... but how long does it takes? hours/days?
[Nexus 7 General] Shromz:
Nah, apparently I'm getting it on Monday. it'll probably ship tomorrow or Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
wow.... a fact that we still donno the actual date of N7 launch....
[Nexus 7 General] joamiq:
You are BRILLIANT!
[Nexus 7 General] Shromz:
We may not, but I'm sure the huge retailers do.
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
true indeed.

but my this question still remains.

" deport provide free delivery with in their area... but how long does this "free delivery" takes? hours/days? "
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
What's deport? I don't think anyone provides free delivery that takes hours. Even when I order from Staples and they ship from the same city it takes a day or two to arrive.
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
cool... thanks for the info. is officedeport.com
[Nexus 7 General] delta136:
haha thanks guys

There was a huge thread on slickdeals about this. I'm surprised no one from XDA saw it :(

Had I known, I would have cross posted it on to XDA :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Nexus 7 delayed at Office Depot
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
i think its delay till the official launch day for N7. my guess is deport is trying to sell beforehand of the the launch date and was spotted. that make sense for the "in stock" in their site.

Google is trying to be the 1st to sell their tablets, so there might be a chance all RETAILERS' stocks will be on hold after Google.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
I'm going to try and go pick one up at Staples tomorrow, we shall see!
[Nexus 7 General] morell2:
yeah order by adorama!!
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
damn... officedepot jus cancelled my order thru comgateway... any ppl facing this issue too?
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
You mean this?

And below it says out of stock. They asked me to reply to them and tell them what to do so I asked to backorder/pre-order it.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

No, nothing yet. I'm from The Netherlands.
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
my reason is "Additional information required: For customization"

i email comgateway to keep ordering for me for the next 3 days.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Seems to work:
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
wat u mean? u mean comgateway managed to place an order finally?
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Yes. By the way: just noticed ebuyer accepts paypal now. Maybe worth a try?
[Nexus 7 General] salv-ice:
Just ordered one on EBay (16GB Black) :D

Can't wait to receive it !!!
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
mine is

"Dear xxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for your email.

We noted on your request. We will update you via email on the order status.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further assistance.

Where in India can I fine, can you please help me.
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
When it will be available through Adorama ? Did they accept your international order ?
[Nexus 7 General] xetas:

Looks like HMV in the UK is putting their street date at Monday, July 16th.

[Nexus 7 General] goxboxlive:
But wasent the 16GB version supposed to be released in late July? Seemsa strange that eBuyer have over 400 pcs. in stock..
[Nexus 7 General] xetas:
Wow in the last 3 minutes they dropped to below 200. WOW.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:

[Nexus 7 General] ameno13:
1 left!!
[Nexus 7 General] volv:
I don't believe they will be delivering those tomorrow. Must have been a mistake.
[Nexus 7 General] xetas:
And the last one is scoooped up! None left - Just showing pre-order now not deliveries.
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
try again... it went back to 200+
[Nexus 7 General] volv:
I have almost made an order, but there's something wrong with it. They run out of stock and suddenly there are 200+ more.
[Nexus 7 General] xetas:
Yea, those are showing as "pre-order" now not "Shipping next business day".
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Adorama doesn't have them in stock yet, if you place an order you will see this note-

"*Note: Please Note! This Item is on the way to our warehouse and is expected in a few days"
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
yap saw that too...
[Nexus 7 General] tomhster:
Ebuyer is down to 12 again, shipping next day...
[Nexus 7 General] jaju123:
Ebuyer says stock expected July 19th (which happens to be my birthday)! Don't know why you think it will be delivered tomorrow!

My payment has been taken, however, which suggests it may be sooner!

EDIT again:

Weyzi ‏@Weyzisdeals

@NikTheGeek Hi if you have a order already on our system yes you will receive it tomorrow

Apparently they are being sent out from Ebuyer for tomorrow... best of luck people! :)
[Nexus 7 General] DLPLonny:
What of my information for the Borderlinx adress do i have to fill in where at ebuyer? I'm a bit scared of doing something wrong, because i'm not familiar with UK adresses.

edit: nevermind, found a tutorial in a german forum :)
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
D'oh! Wish I had bought mine from ebuyer rather than PC World!
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
my office depot order still shows status as "Held Pre-order Items" with delivery date of Jul 24.
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
Jipeee! I just received this from ebuyer:
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
really? no joke?
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
Yes really. I received two emails. One from ebuyer (as quoted) and one from Google (as I payed with google wallet). I hope that BorderLinx will be fast in processing it. I'm really excited now and don't want to wait any longer :D
[Nexus 7 General] Blaze001:
Does anyone know if Nexus 7 has international warranty?
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
It is expected but not sure. But why is this important? In the (unlikely) case that you need your warranty you could just send it back to the country you ordered it from. Shipping from continental Europe to the UK is less than 10€ so I don't see a big problem here.
[Nexus 7 General] jaju123:
Hoping mine will be sent today from ebuyer! :)
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
Super gutted I didn't buy mine from Ebuyer. Had it in the basket and everyfink. D'oh!

Oh world shouldn't be long now. C'mon PC World!
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
My tracking code with Parcelforce is now working and it says "Parcels advised". Next step would be "Parcels collected" and then "Parcels delivered". When I ordered my N7 I dind't believe that I will get it before August. Now it looks like I'll hold it in my hands next week :)
[Nexus 7 General] Novemberseven:
Just called up my local Gamestop, they said the release date is now "to be decided" instead of the July 31st/Aug 7th dates I was told when I put my order down.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Just got a mail from ebuyer:

Yeah! Never expected it so quickly! Man, I'm so happy! But isn't it weird ebuyer is shipping the Nexus 7 even before Google does?
[Nexus 7 General] kam14132:
Just pre ordered at local gamestop. Today is the last day for wave 2 pre orders. He also confirmed via an email he received today that the release date has been updated to "unknown".
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
I preordered it yesterday at Gamestop. Something told me to pull the trigger. Good to know I made the second wave! Thanks for the update;)
[Nexus 7 General] compuguy1088:
Good to know...though I'm still undecided if I am going to preorder it from gamestop...
[Nexus 7 General] kam14132:
I have a couple iPod nano's laying around so $100 off a nexus 7 sold me :)
[Nexus 7 General] volv:
I recieved an answer from eBuyer. Sorry guys, you're not gonna get Nexus 7 tomorrow. I'm glad I didn't order.

My question was:
[Nexus 7 General] rowanparker:
If any Brits fancy getting a tenner off at HMV, use this!
[Nexus 7 General] chilipalm:
When I went to Gamestop today, they told me the release date has changed for the Nexus 7. I told him I wasn't even told there was a release date to begin with when I preordered on June 29th. I asked him what's the new release date, and he said it will be in September. He said the Nexus 7 was supposed to be released today but then were told not to sell them by corporate. Wave 2 was also set for August 9th. He showed me how they marked it up to $100k to make sure people notice that they were not to sell it yet. Who knows what the real release date will be. Basically, it will be when Google says to release it.
[Nexus 7 General] BurnRubber90:
Preordered one on B&H, seems I'm part of the second wave shipping.
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
I ordered from B&H on July 6 and it's telling me August 15 is expected availability
[Nexus 7 General] jittery:
i ordered the same time as you...really aug 15th? i thought that is the date for 2nd wave.. is your card charged yet?
[Nexus 7 General] gbohm:
please keep us updated i will add this for skandinavia if it is really getting cheaper
[Nexus 7 General] Migel0:
So I should be able to order it from ebuyer and pay with my Slovenian visa?
[Nexus 7 General] gbohm:
with borderlinx yes
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
alright, ebuyers using PayPal was too easy to be true.

PayPal is out

Which of couse won't be possible when using Borderlinx.

I placed an order using my German MasterCard, which also didn't work. I received the following:

I will now try using Google Checkout.

Update: I haven't gotten anything negative back from ebuyers and Google Checkout worked without problems. So it looks like this method works fine.

Solution for Google Play's High shipping price!

Gamestop will be taking pre-orders for the Nexus 7! You should be able to just pick it up at your local Gamestop! Plus they are offering an extra 30% for anything you trade in.

Seems cool, would rather see it come to Bestbuy, but as long as I can pick up in store and avoid the shipping cost, I'm game.

Edit: Begins tomorrow
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
Not to be an ass but $13 for 2 day shipping is a really good deal. Ordered a bluetooth keyboard the other day, less than half a pound and it was $30 for overnight and $20 for 2 day, finally $10 for 3 - 5 days.
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Im glad to know im not the only one opposed to the high shipping cost. I am still convinced that it is a way to increase profit while keeping the msrp low. There is some stuff on the net talking about how big companies pay a fraction of what consumers do because they ship thousands of packages a day.
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
For 2 day shipping it is a fine price, but I have an issue that I can't choose cheaper / slower shipping.

I'm already annoyed w/ Google for getting rid of the SDcard (after I bought a 32GB card) then making it $200 for only an 8GB. I know it is as cheap as they could make it. But I'm not convinced it cost them $50 to insert an SD card with an extra 8GBs.

So now I have to pay $50 more than I was planning to. I don't want to end up actually paying $83 more than I was planning.

I was hoping to sell my NiB Transformer and buying the Nexus 7 and actually making some money, now I am lucky to break even, so every little bit helps.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Of course there's no SD card inside the device, it's a surface mount chip. However overall you're correct; I doubt it cost $50 to go from the 8G version to the 16G version.

I too am pissed about the decision to not have an SD card, as I have lots of maps and music that exceeds 16G just by themselves. And of course there won't be 16G available for storage, at least a few gigs of that will be used by the ROM, etc, even if /data and internal storage are shared.. Maybe 13.5G available to the user. I'm sure someone has said by now, I just haven't looked.
[Nexus 7 General] ap3604:
How much does $13 mean to you guys?

Is it worth the hassle of having to drive (which costs $ mind you), and deal with a 3rd party retailer who might screw things up and make you wait to get your nexus 7?

For me it's not worth it. Only you guys can decide if $13 is a huge enough deal to make this worth it...
[Nexus 7 General] Shade21:
upload your music to google play music you can upload 20,000 songs to it up to a maximum of 250mb per individual song... for your maps try shrinking down the area on google maps.. i downloaded 80 sq miles for 80mb (ha) so your maps are obviously too large or you're just BSing us. you can do this multiple times and still be no where near several GB for the size of a state.
[Nexus 7 General] TauxiC:
I initially bought the 16GB version and then a few hours later I decided to buy the cover for it as well, but since it was separate, it was going to be another $10 to ship that! So I decided to call them with the 1-855-83NEXUS number, talked to a very nice and helpful rep named Justin, and said he would forward it to a specialist to cancel my order since he didnt have the authority to since a certain window of time had passed.

So I reordered the 16gb and the cover together, and the shipping for both was $14 total, so $10 savings! Anyway, after shipping and Indiana tax, it came to just a bit under $303.

To me, that's pretty reasonable and it makes me happy to know I am helping Google profit when right now only Asus stands to make a very slim profit off the N7 according to an article from the verge.

So if you want the $14 shipping to be more reasonable, buy the cover for it! But I am spoiled by my free 2day Amazon prime shipping and $4 one-day shipping.

I too consider $50 to be too pricey for another 8gb and no MicroSD, $225 would have been ideal, but 8gb simply wouldnt meet my needs for this device and i probably would have been willing to pay $275-$300 for 32gb.
[Nexus 7 General] grukko:
Keep in mind that Gamestop isn't shipping till end of July.
[Nexus 7 General] freesoul27:
Yesssss, Now i can order it
[Nexus 7 General] jonnyg1097:
Oh look they priced it at 0.00 looks like they are giving it away for free...
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
Well

1) live in a city, so there is one every block

2) it gives me somewhere to easily return it.

But as someone mentioned, they may not ship until the end of July
[Nexus 7 General] c4v3man:
I doubt it will come with the $25 play credit as well, but that's just speculation.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
People will complain about anything these days,
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
Wondering if it will come with the free goodies that google is offering too like the free movie and stuff.
[Nexus 7 General] BurnRubber90:
Yes, but according to the plan the second wave is starting on August 9.
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
No. I had a pending charge that fell off three days ago, came back later that day then disappeared again.
[Nexus 7 General] jittery:
maybe i'll call b&h later to ask for shipping dates.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
I wonder why there's such a large gap between wave 1 and 2. I really hope they are getting stock every day and not once/twice a month.
[Nexus 7 General] morell2:
adorama cancel my order!!! why?
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
Did you enter your real billing info? If not it probably the reason.

Any word from B&H?

Sent from outta space
[Nexus 7 General] sadoway:
Has anyone from best buy Canada had any movement. I'm thinking I pre ordered from the wroooong place. No news.
[Nexus 7 General] lazaro17:
Google asked them to stop selling for the time being. There's a story about it on the verge.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 General] morell2:
but why to cancel my order!
[Nexus 7 General] KiroDawg:
I also ordered from BHPhoto on July 8th and my order page still says backordered and expected shipping is August 15th, which seems so far away... Would be great if anyone has more info about B&H Photo's shipping plans.
[Nexus 7 General] jittery:
i pre-ordered on the 4th when there is no expected shipping date, did not get any shipping news too..now that some people get their n7, shall call later at 9am to try pin down a date.
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
Dear Parcelforce,

you're cutting it damn fine to deliver before noon, not that I am refreshing the track screen or waiting impatiently or anything!

(I pre-ordered through ebuyer expecting it to come just in time for my birthday on the 21st from a 19thJuly release date. This whole early release thing has me overly excited, beside myself, and generally distracted)
[Nexus 7 General] scorpeeon:
Anyone knows how can i get 10 gbp discount from Currys as shown in this pic? http://i.imgur.com/YkJ4X.jpg

Edit: looks like was available for early pre-orders but it's not available since a while.
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
I've emailed them a couple times and all they would do is reiterate the August 15 date
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
It arrives:-)
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Just waiting for some official release date since mine is sitting at my local office depot and register blocks sale..... *twittles thumbs*
[Nexus 7 General] phoneman09:
You have yours at office depot? I just called mine and they acted completely stupid. They had no idea what the Nexus 7 was...
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Been talking with same girl at Office Depot since Wednesday and she isn't too dumb. Yesterday they didn't have them yet. Called her again today and they got a total of 1 in and she had my name/number already and was about to call me. Had her see if she could ring it up but register said "Do not Sell." So yeah it's there and waiting for Google to get off their ass. (As far as only having 1, they aren't exactly a large store or anything decent at all, don't know if that is reason for amount)
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
Where'd you order it from? And did you get the $25 credit with movies/magazines/etc?
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Anyone with gamestop preorder get any new info today??? apparently some people are being called this morning once again saying they can come get theirs.. No reports of anyone that's walked out with one yet.
[Nexus 7 General] mike5411:
I just got a text from GameStop.

"GameStop: Your Google Nexus 7 order avail Fri AM. Bring your trades to reduce price. Info# 888-446-9209. End txt msgs reply STOP"

Sounds promising!
[Nexus 7 General] mikelav456:
Just got an automated call saying ready Friday, but called store and said the automated calls went out accidentally.
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Take it you mean Gamestop and they just told you that they have them but have to wait for when to sell?
[Nexus 7 General] mikelav456:
Didn't say that, but...

The guy called right back and said I can come pick them up today! Woot!

Plus they're offering extra 50 percent on Apple devices (though trade in value it's lower to begin with) through Sunday!
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
Yep they just got the go ahead NICE, now to check office depot

** Office Depot register still blocking sales.
