Just called Wal-Mart.com and they said to wait until Monday to call back. If nothing happens by then, might need to cancel and reorder it again. Awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] rtbluver:
Well my gamestop said is have mine by the 25th.. now there telling me September ish. An they aren't a tablet idevice store so they may not even get them tul September even though I preordered 2weeks ago. Where should I try an buy an 8gb from to get it faster?
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
Trust me, it won't be that long. They have to give you the worst case scenario date. All of their "aug 7th" orders and many "Sept" orders are already fulfilled. GS is getting them in record numbers. Asus must be making these things faster than all expectations.

As for Tablet Stores, my understanding is that it doesn't matter at this point. For a few days those stores had them but GS corporate pulled them to give all stores equal chance at ordering them. That's why their promised dates are being beaten by such an extreme amount.
[Nexus 7 General] RedWingsFan:
I'd check all of your local stores within 25 miles to see what they have. Staples came through for me. They said they had 3 16gb and over 10 8gb in stock.
[Nexus 7 General] salemsayed:
Tesco Direct out of stock :(
[Nexus 7 General] rtbluver:
Well. My receipt said second wave..which was for august 7th. The manager told.me they don't even have shipment plans for the nexus 7 at there store. Which sucks..the nearest staples is like an hour away. Sams club is an hour away and Walmart is not having any instock around here.
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
That's strange. Most second waves are already out. I thought they ALL were. I still think GS will beat Wal-Mart. Apparently however MacMall (why) has an abundance if you feel like rolling the dice.
[Nexus 7 General] ronf1011:
walmart?

What number did you call? All I ever get is a automated voice mail thing. I ordered on the 7/12, and was supposed to recieve by the 25th, and they already took the money from my bank account, number please?
[Nexus 7 General] rupes0610:
You need to select 2 for customer, 2 for Wal-Mart.com, and I think 3 or 9. Do not select 1 to teach your package. You need to talk to billing.
[Nexus 7 General] mlandau33:
Just got notice that my Nexus 7 from J&R shipped. I had ordered the night of July 3rd.
[Nexus 7 General] gjsii13:
This is weird because my receipt doesn't mention anything about what wave my order is?

I wonder if second wave include those who pre-ordered on July 20th.
[Nexus 7 General] Raistline:
Grr, this is annoying... I go online to Staples and see 3 stores in my area that show that they have them in stock. I talk to the guy on the phone and they deny having any in stock. Two of the stores say, limited stock while one shows simply "In Stock".

I wish I knew if I were talking to an uninformed employee of If they don't really have any in stock.

I know they are hard to get and all but why do I have to get lied to by either the site or the employees.
[Nexus 7 General] rajang:
My 7/15 order with Walmart.com just got cancelled because they couldn't ship it within 10 days. When I sent them an email to try to extend the deadline, they responded with this:

Sigh...time to look elsewhere.

I just canceled wy order with Wallmart and ordered a 8 from Goggle play! so for all of you waiting to hear from Wallmart there is one more in the system for you.
[Nexus 7 General] Zargon335:
Same here. I'm still within the 14-day return window for the one I picked up from Staples, so I will take it back and wait for my J&R one to get here.
[Nexus 7 General] :
haha i did the same except i ordered from macmall.
[Nexus 7 General] okazakiroy:
Also ordered from Walmart 7/17, with the same problem as the others. I am seriously thinking of canceling the order and order from some place else. Which is better? BrandsMart or MacMall? I need it before 8/5 since my aunt will go on a vacation cannot pick it up after that
[Nexus 7 General] bloodiedwraith:
Yeah my receipt doesn't mention anything about these "waves" but they told me I'd get mine by August 7th. I pre-ordered on July 17th and still haven't received mine.
[Nexus 7 General] rajang:
I was in the same situation. Walmart automatically cancelled my 7/15 order, so I decided to order from both Brandsmart and Macmall. I'll just take the one that sends me a shipping confirmation first and cancel the other one.

Currently, Macmall says they'll ship by 8/2, with 2-3 day shipping. That may or may not be a problem, because previous Macmall orders have been shipped (kind of) on time. It's up to you, but that's pretty close to your deadline. I'm not sure when Brandsmart will ship, either.
[Nexus 7 General] :
i never heard or either store before today but i would think macmall would be better. Both are tax free but brandsmart you have to pay for shipping (7.87 for 7-10 business days) while macmall is free shipping( 2-3 days). I dont know when Brandsmart will ship but macmall says "Online and phone orders will be shipped from our warehouse by Thursday, August 2." So in your i would think macmall would be best. :)

[Nexus 7 General] mattaggz:
I ordered mine at brand smart Wednesday night,after cancelling my Walmart order (same situation as u). I have yet to receive shipping info from brand smart and called them about 4 times and they keep telling me it will ship. They're customer service is kinda none existent I'm not sure they have any left, and are waiting to see. I'm going to call again tomorrow morning, and cancel if it hasn't shipped yet. Will update, but if u can't wait i would use macmall.
[Nexus 7 General] ianflo:
im the same boat you are.

i have no idea how staples updates their website, from in stock, to low stock, to not sold in this store,

but one near me showed as In Stock this morning, and when i called to confirm, they said there was customer literally checking out with the last one they had at that exact moment.

[Nexus 7 General] Cerian:
After Ebuyer kept cancelling my order over and over (even with Checkout and the Borderlinx address) I finally gave up trying to order from them, yesterday I ordered from John Lewis, and I got a quote from them as well, however the total amount was £250 for a delivery to Denmark, so I just had John Lewis send the Nexus 7 to my Borderlinx address as shipping from them would be a lot cheaper. So if other foreigners think that postage is a bit too much I can advise you to look into this. :)

oh and they already dispatched it, so now it is on its way to Borderlinx :)
[Nexus 7 General] njfkdzxfm:
yeah, i like this kind of new product, really great tablet. the size is just ok, ipad is a little big. I like it..
[Nexus 7 General] Migel0:
Please help me!

I've ordered via ebuyer but my order gets cancelled shortly after (1-2 days) saying that I didn't pass Google Checkout security checks. I'm using a service just like borderlinx (it's Slovenia only and it's a bit cheaper) and I've set the billing info first to my real address and then to the service's address but it doesn't matter, it'll still fail the security checks.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 General] toketin:
In the site clove(dot)co(dot)uk has been updated just now the Nexus 7 and it's available for international shipping, it's not cheaper, 388€ for 16gb version to Italy

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Hi, so do you think that the shipping outside UK (i live in Italy) is cheaper using Borderlinx service and buying the Nexus7 from which English store?

The B&H site now says "Expected availability: September 01 2012", so I've sent an inquery to the specialist export service at John Lewis to see if I can get an order registred with them. The total price would only increase with about $15, so if I can get it shipped from them right away I'll gladly cancel my order with B&H. Will try to get hold of B&H on their live chat when they open in an hour and let you guys know what they say.

Just checked out Clove too, but they have two different prices on the product page. At the top they have the price ex VAT at £183.33, but under options it says £220.00. If the first is correct I'll gladly order from them, but £220 is huch higher than for example John Lewis. I'v sent them an e-mail asking about it.

Live Chat with B&H:

Me:

I see on the product page of the product I've ordered that the expected availability is now set to September 1st. Does that apply to my order as well (which was placed on July 25th) or just to new orders?

Charles S:

Hello ***. My name is Charles, and I will be glad to assist you. Please give me a few moments to begin working on your inquiry.

Charles S:

All back order ship in the order where they were received.. your order should be shipping soon but we don't have an exact date.

Me:

So my Nexus 7 may still arrive for shipping to me earlier than September 1st?

Charles S:

I think so yes, but we don't have a time sorry for this..

E-mail from John Lewis:

I got a very different response than the guys from New Zealand and Denmark.

Dear ***,

Thank you for your e-mail. Please note that this particular item is not available here in at Oxford Street Shop and online is available to order only, which it may take 6 to 8 weeks to come in.

Yours sincerely

I checked last night and there was a Sears store that had 1 single Nexus in stock that I was able to order online. Once I get off work it is a 30minute drive but I will be able to have it in hand today...provided the online ordering system did not mess up.

I first tried to order for delivery but the stock was out before I could complete my order.
[Nexus 7 General] clos101:
I'm still dealing with crappy Walmart. Ordered mine on 7/14, online is still says processing "delivery on or about 7/25" when I call and ask they say they "think" it shipped, but don't have tracking information available. Who knows if it actually shipped or when I'll actually get it. I think they are trying to weed out orders and force cancellations to avoid the flack.

Ugh! I expected more from Walmart. But why would I? Anyone else order from Walmart around the same time and having similar issues?

Should have arrived on or just after the release date of Wednesday, 07/25/12.

...I haven't received anything. When I called, they say they think it shipped 7/25, but they don't have tracking info yet.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
Same here.

Ordered from eBuyer > Borderlinx UK address > Google Checkout and I also have a "stock warning" status, however, I'm pretty sure this is happening because they don't have the N7 tablets in stock yet.

The rest of my order apparently looks fine: "security check" and "order placed" blocks have a green status (in the "order progress" tab).

Looking good so far. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] sprogurt:
I've got this too, I've sent an enote to look into it, I'll let you know what I get back.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
Got a call from my bank this morning, asking for my permission to process a £199 transfer from Google Checkout to Ebuyer. Checked Ebuyer just now and they already charged he amount from my card. "Stock warning" status is still there, but that's normal because they don't have the N7's in stock yet.

So far, so good. :D
[Nexus 7 General] Enterprise-D:
Hi,

i'm going to US tomorrow:) for vacations till mid july...

I think I'm going to buy the nexus 7, but actually, I would buy it only in retail/store, not online...

I've read the whole thread, and I don't have much informations for an availability in retail before the end of July...Gamestop seems to sell it only by preorders for the moments.

What about best buy and other?:confused:

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
I would say by the end of July maybe early august retailers will have them.
[Nexus 7 General] sprogurt:
Cheers for the heads up!

Just for a double tap:

Me:

Ebuyer:

Gonna check my account tomorrow and see if I'm lucky enough :D
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
I don't think you'll be able to find the N7 in any US retail stores until the end of July / early August...

Your best bet would be to find someone on eBay selling the I/O version for the right price and get it shipped to your US address while you're there.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
So B&H has them for preorder again but it has an Expected availability: August 15 2012.

This might be their second shipment since they previously closed off preorders or it could just be the retail date which would suck.

As for Staples, their Nexus 7 page is kind of messed up but if you pick "Nexus 7 . " from the dropdown box you can add the preorder to your cart, but it has an Expected business-day delivery: Tue 08/21. This is most likely their second shipment since the product page states shipping between July 12th and July 17th and Staples previously also closed their preorders.
[Nexus 7 General] pham818:
from ebuyers, it's £199.00 in euro but i went on google and convert that to usd which turns out to be $300, so isnt that over priced? or if when you buy from the US, it's only $200?
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
yes i notice that too.. tats y i didnt order.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

B&H JUST updated their site... is open for preorder again...

and it doesnt sounds like 2nd batch shipping. it looks like the tablet is delayed till aug... i donno.. wat u all think?
[Nexus 7 General] rowanparker:
£ is Sterling, not Euro by the way.

The 16gb version is $249 in the US, not $200.

The £199 figure includes tax too, don't know if the $249 figure does.
[Nexus 7 General] pham818:
oh, thanks for the correction but yeah, it still equals 309 in USD. the £199 figure and the $249 figure are both the same thing, 16gb.

news

Just called J&R

They did say if your order is in the system than you will get your tablet, but at this time they have no idea when they'll be getting stock. Also asked the agent if they had the same incentives as the Google Play store like the $25 credit and she was pretty unsure, but she said no they did not know of any incentives or coupons.

Hmm, now I have to figure out if I want to reserve a Play store unit, to get the $25 credit and stuff, and sell the other, or just wait it out.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
As much as the 25 dollar credit and free movie and book and stuff are nice, and even the faster shipping. That JR.com deal was 47.50 less the the Playstore in so totally worth it, and I already saw that movie anyway :-P. That being said there is still a chance that when Log on to the Nexus 7 though are Google account we will still get the bonuses anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] numi24:
Most EU countries have about 20% VAT. The 16GB N7 is 249$, adding 20% we are at $299. According to Google 199 gpb are 309 usd. So that's just a difference of $10. As everything is a llittle bit more expensive in Europe than in the US that's totally normal. Generally conversion from USD in EUR is 1:1 with electronic products (so when a product costs $199 in the US it will most likely cost 199€ in Europe).
[Nexus 7 General] TonyHoyle:
Indeed the conversion between £ and $ is so close I can discount the difference as exchange rate differences. Google are to be applauded in that they are charging the same on both side of the atlantic.. it's pretty rare that happens with electronic goods.

That's weird, I haven't ever had a problem when ordering from them. I just wonder if their online systems aren't jiving with their actual stock, and causing this mess.
[Nexus 7 General] clos101:
Yeah. I'm bummed. I just sent them an e-mail through the site, we'll see if I can get some answers. Haven't asked to go to the next level of customer service yet. Just want someone to give me a real answer. It's all too vague right now. Something is definitely going on...
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Hey, good luck with that, I'd be pretty miffed too! I have gone through things like that with other companies and sites, it makes you want to tear your hair out!
[Nexus 7 General] Cerian:
Maybe.. you can always create a Borderlinx address for yourself and try to calculate the shipping.

Well, maybe they don't have it in stock anymore.. my order status says that it's dispatched so I'm counting on it arriving to Borderlinx soon (the free delivery option from John Lewis says 5 days max)

Or maybe they just don't have it in their stores and it's only available to order online.

Did you use this form?: http://www.johnlewis.com/Shopping/ExportCallback.aspx

That's the one I used to get the expert query..
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
Yes I did. Apparently sold out as you're saying.

I also got an answer from my e-mail to Clove. I sent them this question:

Regarding the Nexus 7. I'm thinking of ordering one to be shipped to Norway. On the product page it says that the price ex VAT is £183.33, but under options it says £220.00. Which one is correct and applies to me? I won't have to pay VAT, correct?

They only answered the second part:

Correct, you would not pay VAT as Norway is outside the EU.

But their pricing seem to have been fixed. I now get £183.33 + shipping which is a fair price. Only too bad it sold out in the meantime, so I'm back to waiting for B&H.

Their website now says:

Limited stock of 16GB model arriving Monday 30th July - SOLD OUT. Awaiting further delivery.
[Nexus 7 General] toketin:
Yes clove is a bit expansive, i don't know why shipping to Italy with Vat is about 380€, i suggest you tesco.com that has some tablets in stock yet and you can use borderlinx to receive directly your shipment in Norway from UK
