I ordered mine from Ebuyer on July 4th, paid with my Portuguese VISA via Google Checkout and all went well.

Confirmation received and "Order placed" status on Ebuyer.

Dear Marco Pedrazzoli,

Thank you for placing an order with Ebuyer.com.

However, during our routine security checks, our system has indicated that your debit/credit card is not registered in the UK. Unfortunately we are unable to verify the billing address of the card and therefore, we cannot accept your order.

Your order has been converted to a quote or cancelled. In order for your order to be reinstated and completed you will need to enter a credit/debit card that can be verified within the UK.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

That means they couldn't verify your Italian card in the UK.

The day after I've placed my order on Ebuyer, I got a call from my bank to authorize the payment (a common procedure here in PT to prevent credit card fraud).
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
You have to add the Borderlinkx address to your Google Wallet or else they'll cancel your order. It just happened to me after I called to ask for an update.
[Nexus 7 General] maped:
I have it

Your UK address

Borderlinx/DHL xxxx-xxxx

Unit 7 Maidstone Road Kingston Business Park

Milton Keynes

...but ebuyer.com need a UK credit card

Yes, this is the only way for pay with no UK credit card

[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
In Ebuyer / Google Checkout, did you fill the billing address with your real one in Italy and your Borderlinx UK as the shipping address ?
[Nexus 7 General] maped:
Yes bro, but for ebuyer.com this is the problem because need exatly the same address credit card/shipping :o...and my credit card haven't UK address.

The only way it's your method ;), go to the bank and get them to authorize the payment

[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
That's strange, because Ebuyer accepted my order and card info right away when I placed it.

And the bank gave me a call the day after to authorize the transfer.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
How long did it take for your ebuyer account to get updated with your order? I got an acknowledgement mail from them and a confirmation from google, but there are no orders listed on my account page.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
Nearly 48 hours, if I recall correctly.
[Nexus 7 General] RJA88:
Well according to the latest intel the Nexus 7 is only coming to Belgium in october. I'll have to order online now. No way I will be able to wait till then.:(

So a question for you people who buy the Nexus 7 from the UK with Borderlinx. What's the deal with the warranty? Because I'm afraid I might get a faulty device and I'll be forced to send it back. Does that mean sending to Borderlinx so they can sent it to the shop? Because if that's the case, delivery costs will get really high.

RJA
[Nexus 7 General] JGZinv:
If I might interject on that thought of buying then having the device shipped overseas. being that this is a Asus device, warranty likely is through them.

All of Asus's products are region specific when it comes to warranty. If it's NA region, it has to be shipped back to the USA for repair. They also have to have a NA address to ship it back to. No exceptions.

You buy in Germany, it has to go back to whatever the service center there is. Etc.

staples

Just ordered from staples, free 1-3 day shipping for US customers. 16gb Only!

Offer says you have to order by the 10th and it will ship between 12th and 17th.
[Nexus 7 General] flub:
I would argue that

Just checked my transformer Prime warranty card and it states it is a global warranty

Also I would say selling in EU it has a european warranty as most things do, My mother in law lives in Spain but all her goods brought here in the UK are covered ( she brought TV, PC & DVD Playe here recently & she always checks that guarantee covers spain)
[Nexus 7 General] JGZinv:
Again, things are by "region" I didn't mean by country.

There are a handful of global devices that are treated like a premium service.

They are not the norm however.

This is the email I got from BHphoto

Hello Cody, my name is Charles M:

Thank you for contacting the Customer Service Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio.

The ASUS 16GB Google Nexus 7" Tablet is a brand new system that has not yet been released by the manufacturer. The expected arrival date as to when the item will be made avalible is on August 15 2012. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
I ordered it from B&H too, today my order status changed from "Pre Order" to "Backordered STANDARD". Does anybody know what does it mean ?
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
mine has been that way for a while
[Nexus 7 General] rferrett:
So anyone here know of any UK retailer doing any offer on the Nexus 7? I missed the Currys/PC World "ABER5" code annoyingly and was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar?

Cheers

Ralph
[Nexus 7 General] bigbuc:
Staple free shipping, 16 GB only though

I did like markde, and went to order from staples, says it'll be here by the 17th. Google says 2–3 weeks and charges for shipping.

I still get the $25 credit and movie too.
[Nexus 7 General] delta136:
no coupon deals to make the staples retail price sweeter?
[Nexus 7 General] zmsudu:
Anyone knows how to, or where, to buy it in Qatar?

As its tax free country, can I order it from ebay, or similar online shop?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] 49erurtaza:
im going to order a 2nd nexus 7 should i get it through staples ? and does it still come with the $25 credit ?
[Nexus 7 General] marksde:
When I ordered through staples it did say I would still receive the $25 credit
[Nexus 7 General] bigbuc:
I'd think only if...

I'd bet only if you activated it on a second "play" account, not two on one account.

I don't know this, I just suspect this would be the case.

Hit thanks if I helped.
[Nexus 7 General] MrJESUSatWork:
I was playing with my dad's xoom yesterday and damn, I'm looking forward to owning my own tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] zappyzip:
Did anyone else's Staples preorder get cancelled? I got a confirmation e-mail, but when I check the order status, it says "cancelled".
[Nexus 7 General] barthie:
i chatted with a rep before placing my order this afternoon. they said the order will be cancelled so that it doesn't tie up your credit card with the authorization and you will be charged when the item ships.

my email says to expect delivery on 7/17 via staples courier. i assume this means it's a guy in a staples van and not ups/fedex but i'm not sure.
[Nexus 7 General] sheureka:
This thread brings back memories of last year when we were all going nuts trying to find a place to order an Asus TF101 (or of waiting for my smart car 4 years ago) -
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
you can check this out

$7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Make sure you do this today because it takes 24 hours to generate the coupon code, it is not instant.

I canceled with Google yesterday and ordered from Staples today.
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
Since Staples is having them available in store, I will just go there the first day and grab one to skip waiting for shipping. I have 2 Staples right by me so I hope one of them has it soon!
[Nexus 7 General] zappyzip:
Thanks, that's good to know. I was about to reorder the tablet again haha.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Where do you see they are available in store?
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
Another ebuyer and borderlinx customer here. They accepted my card through google checkout. On their order details page it shows the right billing and shipping addresses, so I hope they don't cancel the order for having an out-of-uk billing address.

Can't wait for this one, my first nexus device and first 'mobile' tablet (We've got an iPad in the household but in my opinion it's not too mobile, and it doesn't run android, ofcourse :p).
[Nexus 7 General] abogrhen:
when the preorder in googly play will stop

i can not order before monday
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Is that on "Home -> Accounts -> View Order History"? Because mine is empty. Only when I click on "Accounts -> Track an Order" and fill in my order nr and postal code I can see that the order is placed but nothing more, so no billing address whatsoever.

How long ago did you place your order?
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
I placed my order early this morning, around 3 AM CET. It's in 'my orders', and shows stock warning.

Edit: Apparently they already charged my card, atleast according to google wallet. I hope this means I passed the security checks.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
They charged mine as well, but cancelled it just as quickly when they noticed the billing address wasn't in the UK ;-)

I just send them an eNote about the status of my new order, which I placed yesterday.

EDIT:

just received this reply from them:

I'm happy as a kid in a candy store right now :D
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
I've had a pending charge from BH Photo since the 3rd when I placed my order. But this morning, it's been charged back to me.

:shrug:
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
Good to hear! I've received a similar reply from them. Now the only thing left to do is wait, sigh.
[Nexus 7 General] warp33:
How did you manage to succeed with your order? I tried three times and always the security checks from Google Wallet (using my German VISA) failed.... :crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Enter your Borderlinx *shipping* address as your *billing* address in Google wallet before you order.

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 General] warp33:
I did this the last time, everything was the same, showing just the Borderlinx adress. Maybe my VISA card is the culprit. Which kind of credit card have you been using?
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Mastercard. But I don't think they care because you pay with your Google wallet. But I'm just guessing...
[Nexus 7 General] warp33:
I've read that most orders with Mastercard are working, to bad that I don't have one....
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
If you really really really want one now, you can always order one with a UK pre-paid creditcard from Skrill (Moneybookers) for example. I think they're around €10 a year.
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
I ordered with my normal billing address but with the borderlinx address as shipping address, that went fine for me. They said in an enote that 'the credit has been reserved' on my card so I'm presuming they had no problems accessing the card (VISA btw).
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
Hmmmm

First post here.Staples Says Shipping between the 12th and 17

Can't post link because I'm a new user.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
I did just that the first time and after I called them to ask about the status of the order, they cancelled it because my billing address wasn't the same as the shipping address and because it wasn't located in the UK.

There's an entry on of their FAQ's as well:

But hey, if your order is still ok, it should be fine, right?
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
Guess my first post was wrong

Quoted from a comment on cnet

"I ordered 3 from Staples last Saturday, then on Monday they refunded my money saying they won't be shipping until the end of August. So who knows what is the truth here..."
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
I wonder if these N7s from staples will still get the pre-loaded content like Transformers 3. Has anyone ever read the Bourne Books? I tried reading the Bourne Identity, but it was difficult to get into, and I never finished it.
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
Well they keep telling me I'll be fine, I've even sent them that excerpt from their FAQ, and I've told them that my billing address is from abroad. They keep on saying that the address can be different because it's an online order.

I hope that's true, if not, I'll just order it on ebay or wherever it's available on release date.

Edit: Scratch that, I've looked around on their forums and looks like they will probably just send me a late cancellation mail. I've ordered at HMV instead, with the borderlinx address as billing address. The fact that they confirm your visa card with the bank directly (via PIN confirmation on the site of the bank) gives me a bit of hope that they will see that as confirmation and not go into detail on the billing address. Anyways, that's it for me for now, way too much fiddling with money and credit cards for my own good, I'll be back when I've got the shipping or the cancellation mail :p.
[Nexus 7 General] Settembrini:
I ordered with HMV and everything seemed to be fine until I got an email that they cancelled.

And this ist what they said. Does anyone know what's wrong and what they want?

Unfortunately, we couldn't verify your details with your card issuer.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Haha. Now you got me all scared, so I ordered one at HMV as well. Hope one of them works, otherwise I'll have one for my girlfriend as well :-)
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
So you ordered a few days ago and got that mail now? That sucks. Did you use your borderlinx address as billing address? And did you have to go through the mastercard 'securecode' thing (where you get redirected to a mastercard page to verify it with a password or pin or something)?
[Nexus 7 General] Settembrini:
@cooki3s

Yes, that was exactly the process I followed. What does it mean? Do you know anything about it?
[Nexus 7 General] Cooki3s:
Well If I had to guess they contacted your bank, found out that you in fact do not live in milton keynes, UK, and cancelled it. I don't really know what to do next, since if it happened to you, it will probably happen to me as well.
[Nexus 7 General] barnesk9:
I just ordered mine today, can't wait to receive it.

Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.

We guarantee that we will always post the best information provided by publishers. We know that you want that hot new game yesterday and we want to be the company that gets it to you quicker than anyone else.

I just want to know when the US is going to start taking preorders for the Nexus 7 since Canada already started.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
The US has been taking preorders since it was announced.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Apparently in the US, preorders just means those willing to get their tablets after they are available in retail stores.

Sort of "Chumps-are-us".
[Nexus 7 General] phoneman09:
Wow didnt mean to say that, I meant to say I sure hope the US Bestbuy stores start taking preorders...anybody have an idea?
[Nexus 7 General] lee667:
Picked up a 16gb one from HMV for £179.99 courtesy of NUS discount :)
[Nexus 7 General] jeremydc808:
Just talked to a manager at a local gamestop. He said the 12 was originally planned as the release date but Google is holding up the orders until the 31st. I should just wait instead of preordering the thing. No difference. He mentioned that out of the 5 stores around my area, there are only 2 preorders.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Maybe Google picked up indications of the pre-order bunch going nuclear.
[Nexus 7 General] scorpeeon:
What NUS discount, any info about that?

Can i get it from outside the UK? What's the best way to get it (from Europe)?

[Nexus 7 General] bigbuc:
I haven't heard anything from staples so I went and checked the website and my order says canceled too.
[Nexus 7 General] lee667:
Hi guys, unfortunately there are no links as you needed to be a UK student and it was linked to your HMV account. However they stopped doing new NUS discount on the site a couple of years back but anyone who had it still kept it after they stopped.
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
gamestop has been doing it for weeks. same with staples too. Gamestop ended theirs yesterday, its a sign its going to be released very soon, maybe this week

[Nexus 7 General] trampino96:
been hearing all these rumors about an early release, went on gamestop to see if they altered the release date or something of that sort.. looks like they eliminated that page and only have the 30$ screen protector..

is there a chance they are changing the date??

im running into gamestop today to deposite some gamestop credits that a friend gave to me, so i can get some $$ off this tablet, i will make sure to see if an employee knows any info we dont, and il keep you guys updated.

Office Depot is showing 16GB version pre-order Even as pre-order, it's marked the item as IN STOCK with delivery by Jul 16th. I guess most vendors should have the shipments already and will start shipping the end of this week.

i tried using borderlinx... but donno y, my US address is too long for the site.. so in the end i use comgateway.

YEs i noticed that too...lol u mispelled july 16th. hope wat u said is true.
[Nexus 7 General] frankhart:
Did you have problems with your credit card? They couldn't verify mine, probably because its not a US card...
[Nexus 7 General] scorpeeon:
As i see, if i want to get it from the UK, it pretty much costs the same everywhere (199 GBP for 16GB version and 159 GBP for 8GB version), and the 8GB version is only available on Play Store, is that right?

If that's right the only thing that really matters is delivery time, and i guess the fastest way should be directly from Google Play, right?
[Nexus 7 General] gbohm:
if you are from the uk then yes
[Nexus 7 General] joamiq:
Wrote to J&R asking if they had any idea roughly when they might be shipping. The response wasn't super helpful, but I thought I'd share it anyway:

staples

I preordered from Staples when I first saw the forum that said they were selling it. My credit card has been charged and my preorder cancelled. I talked to their rep and he said that happens when we finalize the order and send out the product. I asked what carrier it would be shipped with and he couldn't tell with the complete order but more than likely UPS. Hopefully I will see it in the next couple of days, maybe Monday.:D
[Nexus 7 General] scorpeeon:
Well I'm not actually from there but as i see it's still the closest place to my country to get it from (i'm from Hungary).
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Currys & Ebuyer don't charge for shipping but Google charges £10.
[Nexus 7 General] scorpeeon:
Hm, thanks, that's also something to consider. I guess they still only ship to UK right? Any differences in delivery date?
