[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
Have you spoken to Paul on twitter again?
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
trying to speek to him now.
[Nexus 7 General] doodman:
What date did you order your nexus from macmall?
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
heres the tweet i got from him yesterday. seems like he is notreplying to my tweets today
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
Chill dude. He said it will be out today at the latest. Probably worth calling their helpline if you want to double check. I think I might just do that.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
i did call, they said my item is out of stock and wll be dispatched tommorow once they come in stock
[Nexus 7 General] TheDude1966:
I picked up two this morning at PC world / Currys Tottenham Court Road. They received 12 in total.
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
What a **** up! First Google, then Currys/PCWorld.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
just got off the phone. they said ive bee given wrong information. oh well then.
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
So what's the correct information? Are you getting yours?
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Which information was wrong?
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
honestly i dont have a clue. think i will just give in and wait for it to arrive at my door, when ever that will be. Its the last time ipre order anything though, thats or sure. ;)

Now paul is saying all deliveries are expected to be made between thursday and monday.
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
+1 on pre-orders but for google products only. I'll still pre-order the iPhone 5 as soon as it is announced or from Amazon for something else. This delivery fiasco has killed the mood now. I don't find myself looking forward to the Nexus 7 as much as I was a few days ago. Heck, I might even sell it on ebay and make a few quid.
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
I'm still stoked about the NX7 but really would quite like to have it!

Obviously shipping new orders before pre orders by Google and PC World not ideal but hey ho isn't the end of the world is it?

Just annoying for us angry nerds!
[Nexus 7 General] TheDude1966:
I have to say, I walked in yesterday and at first they didn't even wanted to look in the system. Initially I was told, nop the 19th its released. So kindly asked them to search via the product code (007152) to see at least some status. It showed 12 were in picked for this store. I returned later yesterday again, was told anything with picking status is delivered next day. Again, this morning I was told they didn't have any stock....I requested them to ask there local warehouse, and they confirmed they arrived but needed to be unpacked. Came back one hour later (after paying for them) to pick em up. You need to be so damn persistent with them and keep polite at the same time. Anyway, I understand the frustration of those who ordered online and are still waiting.
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
The PC World line does seem to be shifting all the time
[Nexus 7 General] tkelly0727:
i pre-ordered from HMV because currys was out of stock when i last checked it and ebuyer are gettin theres untill 3 Aug
[Nexus 7 General] chris100575:
No local stock in Currys, PC World or HMV in Carlisle. Looks like I'm back to waiting for Google to get their act together.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
At this point I don't think it really matters when you get it, most of the seem to have the screen defect and need returning anyway :(
[Nexus 7 General] Crask93:
Quick update from me, Royal Mail says 'arrived at Doncaster Mail Centre on the 2012-07-18, and is now on its way to the local Delivery Office.' So MAYBE today delivery, JUST MAYBE!
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
I work for Royal Mail customer service and I am sorry to say that means it will not be delivered until tomorrow at the earliest.
[Nexus 7 General] HunteronX:
Mine says the same, but for Chelmsford, since that mail centre is closer to me. I'm really hoping that the tablet will be delivered today...

EDIT: Just read rferret's comment. I'm not surprised, lol.
[Nexus 7 General] Crask93:
I hope you are joking!

Im staying optimistic!
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
Alas I am really not joking. Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news.

In other news it seems our angry nerd squad have chased Paul from PC World off twitter.
[Nexus 7 General] compuguy1088:
Got mine from Staples B&M. My store had only two of the tablets in the back. Funny thing is my Macmall order was going to ship today. Blast my impatience!
[Nexus 7 General] Crask93:
Fair enough. Ill still sit here in hope anyway.

Paul has done lots of work past few days, I think he deserves his break.
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
Anyone knows what's going on with B&H ?

They changed their status from "September 1" to "Pre order. Released in limited qty". I spoke with their sales representative but he didn't want to pinpoint any date except from telling me that they would be available for shipping soon...

According to this article everyone in the US suppose to get their Nexus shipped till the 19th.

http://www.talkandroid.com/122959-google-kindly-updates-shipping-status-for-nexus-7-pre-orders/
[Nexus 7 General] pellen:
When did you talk to them?

Yesterday they got some in stock and some here at XDA reported that they got their order updated. Not mine though :( :p

I wonder why they have removed the expected availability date from the product page though...their live chat opens in 8 minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
I talked with them yesterday before closing. I placed my order on the 8th.
[Nexus 7 General] pellen:
Ok...so maybe they have more N7 coming in the near future *speculating* :p

I kinda have given up on trying to get reliable information...they aren't especially transparent with their stock information.
[Nexus 7 General] tkelly0727:
currys is now sayin expected on the 20/07/12

and when u go to check out its says 24/07/12.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
Thought i would give a heads up. if anyone wants to buy a nexus 7, they have themin stock at speke road liverpool. iam quite gutterd that i pre orderd now. the guy said they just got them in stocktoday and you can just walk in and buy one.

iwas going to cancel my pre order but they tol me it could take up to 5 days to get my money back, and buy then my order could have been deliverd.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Here is the phone number also. its a land line so you will go straight through to there store. 0151 494 4082
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
Just spoke to them and he said they had 10 delivered, 3 gone already. Can't hold one back for me and I imagine the others will be gone by the time I get there after work :(
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
Just got confirmation from Currys (14:37 hrs )

Dear ***

Your order (CUR120600****) is on its way and will be delivered to you by Royal Mail Tracked.

Soon after this email is sent you will be able to track your delivery by clicking on the link below.

Courier website: http://www.royalmail.com/track-trace

Tracking code: FJ4668*****GB​

Order date - 01-07

16GB
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i just got my tracking number!!!
[Nexus 7 General] sensory:
I've been trying to find somewhere to buy the N7 from all day today to no avail. HMV says next week and PC World / Currys says tomorrow but, and this is actually baffled me, they're only getting five in and those five have already been pre-ordered. This is a large store as well, on The Headrow in Leeds. Bit nuts that they're only getting 5 units in.

I'm hoping if I show up early tomorrow morning they'll sell one to me anyway. If not, I'll probably wait until they get more in stock since I don't fancy returning a device via post if it turns out to be defective like so many have.

Who knew it'd be so hard to find someone who is willing to take my money?
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
Not me, c'mon PC World..... :-(
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
Clicking on the Tracking link from the Currys email shows the following on the Royal Mail website
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Mine took a few hours to change, probably when the Royal Mail bothered to check in the package.

It's driving me mad knowing my Nexus is only a few miles away but wont be here till tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
Hope mine will be here tomorow. Iam in liverpool, so dont know what the chances are. Either way am just glad that i know its on its way, cant be long before everyone else waiting gets there tracking number. :)

So my conclusion to all this currys delivery mess is......youre better off speaking to your next door neighbour instead of speaking to someone on the currys phone number.

Paul on twitter definatly knows whats going on though.
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
You absolute star! Just managed to get mine from PC World just then and was right behind an elderly gentleman who was also asking for an N7!

Thanks so much, mate! Just sent a cancellation email to Google asking for immediate cancellation of my order. I've not been charged, not had the item shipped so I told them that I expect there to be no problems cancelling.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
Makes me vey happy to se you got one. Enjoy.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Any defects?
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
None that I can see. Feels very solid actually, no creaking, can't see any dead pixels. Anything else I should look for?
[Nexus 7 General] adamski123:
Visited both HMV and Currys today, HMV said next week as mentioned above, while Currys said Friday :L will probe just visit my local Currys/PC World next week and pick one up. The suspense waiting for one is so annoying!!! >;/
[Nexus 7 General] mentalcase:
It looks like staples removed the Nexus from their site. If you want to check stock go here http://sd.site88.net/. The item # is 949231.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesking420:
Just got my Currys tracking email. Yay.
[Nexus 7 General] edge3uk:
I just went trekking round blackpool and preston looking for a couple of N7s... After being lied to and fobbed off, I managed to get one branch of currys to reserve 2 at another store. 10 minutes later, and Im done. Rooting NOW!!! :D
[Nexus 7 General] pughie:
I too just received my tracking email from currys/pcworld :beer:
[Nexus 7 General] doodman:
Thank you so much for this link! I checked for my local staples and they had just a few in stock. Therefore, I canceled my macmall.com order and drove to the local staples and bought it from there for 267 dollars. They only received a total of 3 units and I bought one of them!
[Nexus 7 General] volv:
I was quite surprised but went to the local Currys/PCWorld digital in Bracknell, Berkshire and heard that N7 shipped 30 minutes before I came. They might have some still in stock. It's the store in Princess Square shopping centre.
[Nexus 7 General] mentalcase:
Glad i could help!
[Nexus 7 General] 10123:
lol I'm from Leeds thats helped me alot.

I was under the impression stock was coming in for sale on the 19th so the plan was to get up early looking for some tomorrow.

I'm thinking Crown Point retail park as they have a Carphone Warehouse, Comet, PC world/Currys, Argos and Asda Living. I'm hopeful that at least one of those stores will have one in stock by tomorrow but when contacting Comet they checked there systems and said they had no idea, same applied to the PC World on the Headrow and CPW.

:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] sensory:
PC World on Headrow seemed a bit clueless tbh. And only 5 units in store, they said they'd sell me one today it if weren't for the fact that they had all been pre-ordered. They had just received the e-mail go-ahead to sell their stock as well. Also, HMV in town said they're expecting to sell them next Tuesday (31st) but the guy didn't seems to know much so they could be selling tomorrow.

No idea about Carphone Whorehouse; didn't they say they wouldn't be getting any stock for a month or two? And I didn't think Comet and ASDA were selling them, I'd have asked at the Comet on Killingbeck when I was there last.

I've just ordered mine from Google Play after calling a bunch of shops this afternoon. Just in case something is wrong with my unit when I get it, I'd rather not have to deal with "lack of stock" at these brick & mortar shops being the reason I can't straight-up exchange the defective one for a new one. And I'd like to think that when Google UK get their new shipment (next week hopefully) they're less likely to contain dud ones. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 7 General] lionheart7282:
just got an email from macmall.com:

Thank you for your recent purchase with Macmall.

We are now expecting arrival of the item you ordered by July 20, 2012. However, please be advise that this date provided to us by the manufacturer may still subject to change. We suggest a follow up a day after the aforementioned date (July 20, 2012) would be best as it takes a day for our warehouse to update inventory. We do hope by then your order has already shipped and we have fulfilled already our commitment to you our valued customer.

''CRAP''
[Nexus 7 General] Silverbrain:
Very nice tool! I have my name on a list for a Staples nearby in North Sacramento, and it's showing low stock, hopefully the shipment is coming today (wasn't any there at store opening)

Cheers.

*edit* - Update, Staples called and got some stock in so now I am a new proud owner of a Nexus 7!

Lincoln CA if anyone is curious.
[Nexus 7 General] madchild1:
I just placed an order with Staples.ca (Canada)

They have them in stock and shipping today, so I will have it tomorrow.

Eff the Play store pre order....
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
So has anyone who got there tracking number from Currys/Pc-world been able to track there order? or are they still getting the come back later message?
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Tracking on mine works but it took a few hours, might not update now till tonight, mine started in Yorkshire, then South West Distribution Centre, now it's been stuck in Cardiff since this morning.
[Nexus 7 General] scollie:
Since yesterday my order has been showing

Item FJ46........GB arrived at Yorkshire Distribution Centre on the 2012-07-17 and we are currently processing it.

I've been checking it constantly all day but no change!!!

Surely it should be on its way south by now (I'm near Croydon).

When I first saw the message I thought it would be delivered today, now I'm now sure whether it will get here tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
Cardif? Wow they are coming from newark... could be friday i get mine then.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
I'm in Cardiff so it's heading in the right direction, I was hoping it would turn up today since it's only a few miles away, but it hasn't.
[Nexus 7 General] pughie:
I still can't track , it still says try again later, I live in Cardiff though so fingers x'd
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Currys Shipping

Mine first went to the Yorkshire Distribution Centre and then I it updated earlier today to this:

Item FJ......... arrived at Belfast Mail Centre on the 2012-07-18, and is now on its way to the local Delivery Office.

Hoping that they deliver tomorrow :D
[Nexus 7 General] DroidCK:
Showed up at staples this morning after checking one other store last night and they hadn't sold any of the 5 they had. All the stores I checked were in the greater Hartford area.
[Nexus 7 General] 10123:
I'm going hunting for one tomorrow (UK), where do you think will be the best place to find one?
[Nexus 7 General] DroidCK:
Any local staples if you're in the us. Seems to be a good bet for a lot of people in this thread.
[Nexus 7 General] leelaa:
Not sure but youre best option is, try to find land line numbers for stores, rather than 08... numbers. so you can speek to the store directly
[Nexus 7 General] JGZinv:
Another update on J&R

Called, they had one unit on hand that was allocated for someone else. Claimed they would be getting

another batch of units tonight. If you're not allocated one tomorrow, it's probably going to be a while as they have

no ETA on their next shipment of N7's.

Also the Office Depot in New Albany, IN and Clarksville isn't getting any units. Staples in Clarksville, IN isn't getting any until next week.
[Nexus 7 General] mentalcase:
Luckily my UPS guy came 3 hrs earlier than usual. I have a nexus 7 to start using!!!
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
Royal Mail tracking only really updates over night. Unless it says when you look in the morning that your item has reached the sorting office and is out for delivery then it isn't getting delivered that day.

And if you are phoning to complain do be nice as it might be me you are shouting at tomorrow!
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
I've always found that to be the case with my Royal Mail or Parcel Force deliveries however yesterdays updates were early evening and today's was mid afternoon.

Just as a matter of interest. Our free delivery says that we can expect delivery in 3-5 days however I was told that would be with Yodel. I'm not sure why things changed and they went Royal Mail (which I'm much happier about so that's not a complaint) I notice the service is shown Royal Mail Tracked. Looking on the RM website suggests there are only 2 services for RM Tracked and that's 24 and 48 hour delivery. That would suggest that I should get my N7 tomorrow as it was sent yesterday. Is that correct or could it still take longer?
[Nexus 7 General] compuguy1088:
What is the screen defect?
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Probably this issue

Why have Nexus 7 pre-orders been delayed until September?
[Nexus 7 General] VegUnited:
If anyone in the OKC area is looking for a Nexus 7 Sam's Club in Norman and MWC have 5 and 7 in stock (16gb). I bought one today

Just picked up a nexus 7 from Staples in MosesLake, Washington. They have 8 more but I had to ask them to give me one. If they say they can't sell yet just say you're sure they can. Seems some of they employees are not that informed.

PCWorld UK Shipping them out today,

Ordered 16th July Online, CC Charged 17th July, Tracking Info arrived today 18th July, For Delivery tomorrow 19th July.

So fairly uneventful.

Staff at Local PCWorld store were fairly confident some would be available instore Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] vegetto123:
Interesting development. My local Office Depot had tickets out for both the Nexus 7 8GB AND the 16GB. I asked if they had them there, and they said yes but not many. This was 11am this morning.

Orlando, FL Kirkman store.
[Nexus 7 General] HunteronX:
Thanks for the info. :)
[Nexus 7 General] joamiq:
The next J&R shipment is supposed to come in early next week. But according to their Twitter account, they are only getting shipments of 100 at a time. If that continues to be the case, it will take several months for them to fill the pre-orders.

Does anyone have any further ifnormation? I'm going to try and get it today in North Vancouver... but not sure if Futureshop have nationally sold out..

[Nexus 7 General] PaulW21781:
Picked mine up before from PC World in Northwich, just on the off chance I popped in to ask about the release date, and they said they had 3 in so I managed to bag one :-) they weren't expecting them in either so they said! It is rather nice, although the gf is currently attacking me for spending more time on this than on her! lol

[Nexus 7 General] blue_bullet:
Thank you for this link. I called Staples in Kalispell, MT. They have 2 16gbs Nexus 7s left. Sending my daughter to pick one up for me tonight since I am 65 miles away.

I got snookered by Google today. They cancelled my order b/c I had a PO Box in one line and my physical address in the other. That's pretty lame to cancel order and not reinstate it after I corrected address and contacted them. They were absolutely no help and could care less about customer satisfaction. This may all come back haunt them one day. Here was my email response to their cancellation:

To whom it may concern:

What a disappointment. My physical address and my PO box are on separate lines. You cancelled my order of 2 weeks ago at your convenience. I will not order from your business again as you treat customers quite poorly. I talked with your customer service about this and got nowhere. I eliminated the PO box from my shipping address before calling, but service technician and her supervisor both said once order is cancelled it must be reordered (with another 2 week wait). Order could not be reinstated. This is no way to treat customers. You just got yourself some free negative advertising. Google is evil.
[Nexus 7 General] KiroDawg:
did anyone who placed an order on the 16th or later on MacMall get their order shipped yet?
[Nexus 7 General] cheebah:
I've been looking everywhere around the chicagoland area. 2 days ago (mon) I went around to a bunch of game stops in the city of Chicago and got the same reply, the only one's they had were for pre-orders, and if I put down $50 I was guaranteed one in the next wave (early next month), I put down $50 just in case, but I don't want to wait 2-4weeks for it so I kept looking, especially since the guy at gs assured me that I could cancel my order and get my $50 back anytime. So yesterday I went around to all the local staples and office depots and they all didn't have them. last night I saw this thread and looked at the staples availability online, there were absolutely none in the chicagoland area, except for one store which is about a 45min drive away, plus it was after 9pm and they were closed, so first thing today I drove out there, and the manager said they sold out yesterday, I also checked a couple office depots in the area and another electronics store someone mentioned might have one (abt electronics). No Luck what so ever.

So I just got home and I was looking online and I saw that Sam's club actually has them in stock right now (says low stock), and they say it'll arrive between the 20th and the 24th if I order before 3am cst. so I ordered one... :D. So I'll have one either by friday or by next tuesday. Now I just have to go to gamestop and cancel my pre-order and get my $50 back.

One thing about sam's club is that if you don't have a membership its a 10% upcharge, which was like $25. This is actually less than tax and shipping, so I figure it was worth it, otherwise I'd have to buy a membership for $40.
