Have been following this thread silently for a week now. I found out that Sam's Club was selling it thanks to this forum and cancelled my staples order to have it sooner, however, 3 consecutive units had dead pixels so ended up returning them. I live in Kansas City.

For those of you who have Nebraska Furniture Mart in town, they have units in stock, not sure if this has been mentioned in this forum before (not gonna read the 130+ pages to verify that!).

As of this last friday I called and they had plenty in stock, don't think too many people knows about this.

I did not buy from them, because they have a 15% restocking fee, and since I already had 3 with dead pixels, I refused to buy from stores that have this (pathetic) pollicy. It can wait, I already played with the Nexus 7 before returning it and I'm writing from a iPad 3 anyway!

Good luck hunting!
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
That must be why the system isn't letting you order it right now.
[Nexus 7 General] GaresTaylan:
Did you go to SAMs or order online? It's been OOS online every time I've checked for weeks.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Speaking of that, when will Costco sell it?
[Nexus 7 General] CaLiSwEEPeR:
I will be checking out Sam's Club tomorrow in my area, I'll report back if I find anything out/they have in stock
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Anyone else find it odd that NewEgg doesn't sell the N7?
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
That and Costco. We will be making our monthly run down to the Santa Rosa Costco (nearest one to me, about 70 miles south) next month, I'll have to check and see when they will start selling it.
[Nexus 7 General] tysonmax:
Thanks for the heads up on this. They actually ship too, they have free UPS Ground or $14.97 for UPS 2nd day air. I ordered an N7 with 2nd day air for less than the the $249 list price. Should have it by Friday.
[Nexus 7 General] killertonez:
Just a update i just got a shipping email from macmall my 16gb should be here tomorrow! Ordered the 21st online
[Nexus 7 General] popit168:
Looks good, have the opportunity to try the next.:cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] Cerian:
Just wanted to give a heads up,

Handtec is selling the Nexus 7, and it'd seem they have global shipping. I was seriously considering buying one from them seeing as I live in Denmark. But then I saw the price, 240£ for the 16gb version, and so, with shipping it amounts to a total of 250£ for me. I'd have no problem paying it if it were like 210-220£ with shipping, but really? 40£ more than everywhere else. Seems like someone is taking advantage of the shortage of stock. And so I decided I would not buy one from them. But if anyone is interested here's the link:

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/7279/asus-nexus-7-wifi-tablet-16gb--android-4-1-jelly-bean-

EDIT: Oh, and yeah I realized it was 199 from them without VAT. Before posting this I had a chat with them to make sure if this was intentional or not, and I were told that it was indeed intentional.
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
Extortionate that they are adding VAT on top of the VAT included price. These things are meant to be £199 inc VAT.

Which store has Nexus 7 stock in Palo Alto

I am from India and my friend is visiting Palo Alto, California and is expected to return back on 29th July.

Please let me know which store in Palo Alto has Nexus 7 stock or which stores should he visit to check availability.

Thanks in advance folks.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I would try Staples, GameStop, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Walmart and Sam's Club in the Bay Area, I don't know of any other stores down there that carry it. The Staples up here in Ukiah, CA has the 16 GB version in stock, but it's 160 miles northwest of Palo Alto, it's beautiful up here so it'd be a nice drive anyway. I checked all the Staples down there and they all show out of stock.
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
I'm seriously considering ordering from Handtec. I would have to pay £222 to get the 16 GB model shipped to Norway plus £55,5 VAT. So the total would be £277,5 which probably isn't much higher than the retail price will be.

Does anyone have any experience with handtec? I've never heard of them before.
[Nexus 7 General] Cerian:
Exactly why I was baffled, to say the least, when they told me that it was indeed the correct price.

Well that's the thing, it probably is a lot higher than what the retail prices would be in the rest of EU. VAT is already included in the 199 price everywhere else in the UK. I certainly don't expect the tablet to cost much more than 200£ when it arrives officially here in Denmark.
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
I just spoke to Handtec on their Live Chat. They don't have it in stock right now and it will arrive in small batches. Getting it shipped can take a couple of weeks. Think I'll pass since I'm not getting it shipped right away and because the price isn't that great.
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
Asus just announced that the Nexus 7 will go on sale in Norway this September. The price will be around 2000 NOK which equals about £211. This applies to all Nordic countries.

For those that understand Norwegian, see http://www.amobil.no/artikler/asus-bekrefter-pris-pa-nexus-7/111255
[Nexus 7 General] paragk:
Thanks bro. I will pass on this info to my friend. Hopefully he finds one in one of the stores. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Nexus 7 General] Cerian:
Just spoke with Handtec once more because I found this: http://www.handtec.co.uk/page.php?xPage=pricematchhandtec.html

And I basically got told that they couldn't offer a better price because it simply costs them more than other retailers.

I then said that it was stated on the site that it was any price on any product, at which point I got told that it just wasn't possible.

Seems odd to me to have written on the website that you'll match any price on any product then :')

Uk pcworld

I ordered my Nexus 7 from PC World on Sunday and it has arrived today :) I would recommend to everyone from UK
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
I just spoke with a sales representative on the B&H Live Chat. After pre-ordering the Nexus 7 will ship in a couple of weeks.
[Nexus 7 General] Kenzneth:
Erhhhh......

Any news from B&H? It was phased with positive comments last week. And all seem to be retard now.

Ordered on 16/7. Jealously reading the thread of others getting their device earlier than me......
[Nexus 7 General] dmestriner:
Nexus 7 available at carphone warehouse this friday http://www.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-available-carphone-warehouse-friday

too bad I don't live in the UK, but gets me wondering, will it actually take till September before it is released in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe?
[Nexus 7 General] Kenzneth:
Sound promising...... hope i can get it soon:(
[Nexus 7 General] mk69:
I walked into the MicroCenter in Westbury, New York looking for a USB Pci card for my PC, walking out towards the cashier I asked if they had any nexus 7 in stock... As of last night around 5pm. They had 30 16GB nexus 7 in stock...
[Nexus 7 General] jenskristian:
I just ordered one from B&H too. Hopefully it won't take too long before it ships.
[Nexus 7 General] marcos.lennis:
Hello people, here is a link for a place to buy the N7. I bought mine directly from their store yesterday and till had plenty on hand. This is for US only.

[Nexus 7 General] ceejay83:
awesome thanks. $258 shipped, no ca tax or fee :good:
[Nexus 7 General] mbh017:
Hello,

Any idea where can I found a Nexus 7 on a shop near of San Francisco ? :confused:

Maybe Staples but I made 3 Staples before leaving Los Angeles and all 3 was indicated with "low stock" but all the Nexus was gone...
[Nexus 7 General] BurnRubber90:
Anyone has got it shipped? Dad bought it for me on 10/7. He's on a trip so I don't know if they shipped it or wut :/

[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Ordered from B&H on 7/6, got notification that it shipped on 7/19 and it's due to arrive today 7/25. In the meantime, I found one at Staples on 7/17 and drove by a MacMall in my search and not realizing they had a ton in stock. Have never put that much effort into buying a product before but it was worth it.
[Nexus 7 General] ceejay83:
has anyone bought from them before? legit place?
[Nexus 7 General] RedWingsFan:
I've never bought from there but the reseller ratings look good. They have some B&M stores around.

I tried to order but I kept getting an error. Tried different cards, different computers, and different browsers. No luck. Called their customer service and after being transferred around I was told they didn't know what to do. I guess they don't take orders over the phone? Seems to much of a messy operation for me to trust them with a purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
My Nexus 7 was finally delivered from JR.com today, unfortunately it wasn't to me. It was put in one of my neighbors lock box. Now I have to track it down.

Walmart.com Preorder

My Wal-Mart preorder (preordered on 7/18) was supposed to be delivered today 7/25/12. I have yet to receive a confirmation email. I emailed Wal-Mart and got a automated response with no specific information about my order or any Nexus 7 orders. I called them twice and the first time they said it was a UPC issue they it could be fixed at anytime. The second time they said that it should be shipping out today, since preorders ship on the date that they say they will be delivered. Makes sense right? I somehow doubt it will even be shipped today as I have yet to be charged and my order still says 'Processing'. Anyone else hear anything back from Walmart.com? What a mess.
[Nexus 7 General] andrewhchiu:
preordered mine from gamestop 7/14. got contacted today for pickup. gonna go pick it up today after work.
[Nexus 7 General] lesrsz28:
I received an email from Wallmart that said my order will not ship out on time (some sort of hold) but when I called them yesterday they said that they were in and that it would be shipped today! The email said if this was not acceptable that I could attempt to cancel my order
[Nexus 7 General] :
when did you place your order?
[Nexus 7 General] AlWakRa:
For people outside US, they don't have too much choices if they want N7 as quick as possible. For my case, as I am from Qatar -GCC-, I bought it from ebay with premium price :(. I make the purchase because the seller offering shipping by Fedex -which took 4 days to deliver-, having the device -not pre-order as most of the sellers-, and it wasn't an auction. He shipped it within 40 minutes of receiving payment and it was impressive as most sellers take 1 to 2 days to ship the purchased items.

I am playing with it right now and I am satisfied as I was worrying of defective units however it is problem-free unit. :)
[Nexus 7 General] lesrsz28:
Sorry I ordered on 7-19 with a ship day of the 25th and delivery 27th to by the 31st.
[Nexus 7 General] rnkoko:
Thanks for the tip! I called customer service before ordering and was told they had 150 in stock. I'm still skeptical (Sears told me they were in stock, and that didn't turn out well), but I ordered. Google Shopping shows 505 reviews for this vendor with a rating of 4.8/5.0, so it looks promising... I'm too impatient to wait for B&H. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Tainted:
Was quite impressed. Ordered my 16gb yesterday off car phone warehouse because I could have it delivered to the store next to my work and it arrived today before 12pm. Thoughts it would be a few days...

So far pretty happy with it. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] DouglasDubya:
Mannnnnnn, same story; I was hoping mine would come from Wally World today but it did not, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

My first post on here and first Android device and I'm pumped to finally get it and play around... Wassup everyone
[Nexus 7 General] rajang:
That's great news! I got an email from Walmart four days ago and they said the item was on backorder, and would ship on 8/15 at the latest. Hopefully your information is the most recent and accurate...I ordered on 7/15 :D

EDIT: for those wondering, my order is still "processing" as well.
[Nexus 7 General] :
awesome hopefully mine ships at the same time.
[Nexus 7 General] MC153:
I hope at least one of those two things are true. :(
[Nexus 7 General] mattaggz:
Hey, I just placed my order through brandsmart. How long after you placed your order did u recieve the tracking info?
[Nexus 7 General] ceejay83:
2 hours
[Nexus 7 General] RayLancer:
For those of you having trouble with OfficeDepot, I ordered mine through the mobile site. I ordered on 7/16 and 7/20. The first one arrived last week. The 2nd one should be in today.
[Nexus 7 General] johnmagoo:
I went into a gamestop 2 days ago and pre-orded the 16gig. They told me it would be here by the beginning of next month, and assured me that there would be no delays even though they are sold out everywhere and even on the playstore. I got a call from them today, went and picked up my Nexus 7 right after work and am currently unlocking, rooting, etc...

Went there on a whim and got the hook up!
[Nexus 7 General] Semantics:
I pre-ordered one from Walmart as well. The same info was given saying it would arrive today, yet the order still says processing. I called Walmart.com customer service and spoke to a nice dude who told me that they took too many pre-orders, and they have no idea when they would be shipping out. I went to Staples, bought a Nexus 7 and cancelled the Walmart.com order. I'm confident after my conversation, they don't know when they will ship.
[Nexus 7 General] mbh017:
Thank you very much ! :D

I will be in Ukiah tomorow (to continue my US trip :) ), but do you know if the N7 is still available in this Staple ? :)
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Out of all these places that are selling it, anyone in general with the LEAST amount of defects?
[Nexus 7 General] DouglasDubya:
Well damn I'm disappointed to hear that... Guess I'll be calling places again tomorrow to see if I can catch one in stock. Thanks for the info.

[Nexus 7 General] bloodiedwraith:
I'm a little jealous. I pre-ordered mine on July 17th and my GameStop hasn't received any yet and still say they're scheduled for August 7th. The only reason I haven't cancelled my pre-order and got it somewhere else is that it was purchased entirely with credit so it was no cost to me.

Anybody knows if i would buy nexus 7 in tesco or John Lewis website and if i will have any issues, i sholud return it to tesco or to asus service? It's important cuz i want to use it in poland...
[Nexus 7 General] Melarsa:
I tried to order and got errors as well, but only when trying to check out as a guest. Once I made an account I was able to order just fine.

Of course, literally seconds after I placed my order for a 16gb with Brandsmart, I received the shipping confirmation for my July 18th Play Store order.

I called to cancel my second order, but they did seem a little rough around the edges in terms of customer service. The lady I spoke to said the order was cancelled and I'd get a confirmation email, but I haven't gotten the email yet. I'll keep an eye on it though. Worst case scenario I'll refuse shipment if the cancellation doesn't go through. I just don't want to get stuck paying a restocking fee for an order I tried to cancel mere moments after I placed it. I usually don't buy online from stores with such a weak web presence, even if they have good reseller ratings, but figured my Play Store order would be in limbo for weeks and was too impatient to wait. I swear they're only shipping now because I decided to place an order elsewhere:silly:

But for those who are aren't already waiting on another order to process and don't mind the small web presence: Brandsmart does have them in stock and ready to ship as of now.

*Edit*

Just got my cancellation email from Brandsmart. Now I just hope the one I receive from the Play Store is defect free.:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] lesrsz28:
This is the latest response on my order from Wallmart

> Thank you for contacting Walmart.com regarding your expected delivery time for your order. Please accept our apologies for this fulfillment delay. We are glad to clarify the current status of this item.

>

> As we mentioned before, we are working to resolve this issue with the Asus Nexus 7 Tablet PC as quickly as possible. This means also that our distribution center is working around the clock to ensure that all the incoming units get shipped as soon as possible, but we cannot provide you an exact date for shipping or delivery.

>

So I guess I will come some day!
[Nexus 7 General] DouglasDubya:
This is so stupid that Walmart honestly can't cover this. They made a big deal that if you ordered when it was initially available on 7/18, it would be shipped by 7/25. Two days later and my order is still "processing". I'm quickly losing interest in buying this since I've called so many stores and can't get a bit of luck, by the time I finally get it the market will be flooded and it'll be worth maybe $150. For all the intelligent people that work at Google and they still couldn't figure out how in-demand this tablet would be is amazing to me...
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
I don't trust Walmart. Staples and GameStop are the places to go. Gas will give you an exaggerated date but it will arrive sooner than anything wally world can do.
[Nexus 7 General] DouglasDubya:
But does Gamestop even sell them retail? Every store I call manages to give me a different answer but most say they only have preorders available or don't sell them in-store...
[Nexus 7 General] salemsayed:
I will be ordering two Nexus 7 from Tesco Direct and according to their express delivery they will be delivered by Saturday, the problem is that my friend will be leaving UK on Sunday. So, do they always deliver on time or i shouldn't risk it ?
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
They only pre-order, but usually get them in a week or so. Much better than waiting a week for Wal-Mart to ship one. When you order one they will tell you it's going to be a month before the "promise" date but then you'll get a call in a week or less. I have no doubt that if you had pre-ordered one from GS when you made you Wal-Mart order you'd have it in your hands now.

Gamestop also seems to be in direct contact with Google as several press released from them pointed out supply issues that Google later confirmed.
[Nexus 7 General] athakur999:
I bought mine from MacMall.com (and felt very dirty about it). I placed the order on July 16th with an original estimated shipping date of July 20th. That slipped a bit and the device actually shipped out on the 24th. It will be delivered today (July 26th) via USPS.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the transaction. I didn't have to pay shipping or tax with MacMall.com, which brought the price difference between the 8GB model on the Play Store and the 16GB model on MacMall.com to only around $20 or so.
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
I think it's deviously clever to order from MacMall. Let the Apple Cult try to explain why their precious store has to resort to selling "that freeware crap". :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] lionheart7282:
well you also have to take into consideration that Google don't make the tablets, asus does, and i think asus is the one that ships it to the retailers and they probably can't keep up with the demand , i think the problem here was that Google released it too soon.
[Nexus 7 General] adriankeith:
I don't know if any of you live in Southern California but some of the OfficeMax stores carry them. The problem is you need to talk to the manager/supervisor. I called ahead to check if they had them, luckily the associate who answered had the manager nearby as she didn't even know what I was referring to. I walked into the store, the tablet was on display and as I was playing with it, another associate walked up to me and asked if I needed help so I asked him for the Nexus tablet and his immediate response along with one other employee was that they didn't have them or didn't receive them.

TL;DR - OfficeMax seems to carry the Nexus tablet but you need to speak with a manager as most of the employees don't even know they have them. They had two at my nearest location. Both 16GB @ $249.
[Nexus 7 General] jonsmith709:
Ordered my Nexus 7 16g yesterday from The Carphone Warehouse £199 free delivery, received today...In perfect condition, wich is great as I'm one of those types with OCD. Was going to order the 8g from google but had to pay £10 for delivery, so I used the charge towards a 16g ;)
[Nexus 7 General] RedWingsFan:
I'm glad it gave me an error because right after that I did a search on Staples website and found a store with them in stock about 25 miles away. Just happens my friend lives down the street from that store so he picked it up for me and we met up last night. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] qtreiber:
Google seems to think like this as well:

According to their website, the stores have huge inventory:

Chicago: 331 available (!)

Huntington: 93

Sanata Monica: 136

Torrance: 145

So this is, where all the Units are going...

[Nexus 7 General] gjsii13:
I ordered my Nexus 7 16GB from GameStop July 20th.

Have not heard a single world but have been making calls to all of the local GameStops (I live in the Pittsburgh area). Every one of them have given me a different response.

I heard September 30th from the GS I pre-ordered from.

Other dates I have heard :

August 7th (from a few diff GS)

I really hope that my Nexus comes soon because I am about to break the 2 cases I got off Ebay that came today lol.
[Nexus 7 General] DouglasDubya:
Shoot well I wish I would have known... I just drove an hour to Staples in Howell, MI and picked one up, but the screen has the ghosting issue... Uhhhh, I finally got it and it looks bad, I'll probably have to return.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Thats a good point on Google/Asus but my criticism still stands for Walmart, they promised and couldn't deliver. And now I got one today and cancelled my Walmart order but the one I got has ghosting...
[Nexus 7 General] Melarsa:
Glad both of our attempted Brandsmart purchases lead to success! ...Even if it was with other retailers.

My UPS tracking info was stuck at the "label printed" stage since I got the Play Store shipment alert late last night, so I figured I'd probably end up getting the tablet early next week, but it just updated with a delivery date showing as tomorrow...so I'm really glad I bought some last-minute screen protectors and a case on Amazon to be delivered this weekend just in case. Looks like Google came through with the 2-day shipping for me. I only had to wait a week after purchase for the shipping confirmation, too. Looks like I've been pretty lucky so far, unless I happen to get a bum tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] tntt:
is there anywhere you can get 8gb version in UK ? except play store..
