[Nexus 7 General] razorseal:
yes.... they are available. the other guy who had one on order beat me to it, so he got his first :(

I gotta wait until the new shipment comes in now. mad :(
[Nexus 7 General] chilipalm:
I got no phone call, no text, nothing from Gamespot. I wonder if the guy who took down my information entered everything properly. I was the first to preorder at that Gamestop on June 29th.
[Nexus 7 General] razorseal:
We'll see... there is only one in my are that even had it in stock. they only had 3. 2 reserved for the employees and 1 for a customer. I jumped on the bandwagon and they said whoever gets there first will get that 1 nexus. well that guy showed up before I did. he kind of had the dibs too since he ordered before I did. the guy at the store was real cool and he said they aren't doing waves, and as soon as it's ordered, their warehouse will ship another one. so I should have it in a week apparently.

it really sucks, but I guess I'm not sure why i'm upset so much, I already have a rather jellybean xoom that's running on 4G. I just want the nexus for my girl. lol....

not all stores got it.

I called like 7 gamestops throughout my area. none of them had it. only one about 20 mins south of me had 3, which were all called for.

Office Depot

The stores I have talked to said they never got the shipments and delayed. Can anyone else confirm this story?
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
My Office Depot has one in stock and it's held for me. Currently as of an hour ago, the register will not let them ring it up yet. Hoping with this gamestop news, OD may release for sale today.

Gamestop usually get there ups shipment about 10:30 am so I'm expecting a text soon.

Note the price... $99999!!

Anyway, Gamestop will only release it if you preordered before the 11th. Good luck everyone.

lucky bastard.

one helluva discount on that receipt too!!! LOL

Just picked mine up at Sam's Club. They weren't on display yet, but the electronics department rang one up for me and it went through.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Just called every local Gamestop, was told that the pre-order is over and now they are doing 'reserve' rounds for the 3rd wave of stock arriving early to mid August. Called two Staples in the area as well, the first was clueless about what an N7 was at all and the second said that they have no news of in-store stock for non-preorder purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] compuguy1088:
Do any of the other big box stores including BJ's selling the Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
So far, Costco and Walmart aren't, which I find odd. I bet they do eventually sell them though.

Sams Item #: 793929 but online shows out of stock. Guess that guy got lucky..
[Nexus 7 General] lacyjp:
Thats the item number, online didn't show it available at the store or for delivery.

Sam's told me last night they had them, but the item was "held."

When I told them GS was selling them, they scanned it and it went through.

Just got mine at game stop had to fight the lady so she can give it to me.. At first she told me ups haven't bring them yet and ups came right in while I was in there well I haven't even open it yet but I'm very excited. If any of u pre order from game stop go pick urs up.. By the way I'm in Hollywood florida

GameStop is telling me if I pre order now the next shipment will be on August 2.

At least it's faster than BHphoto pushing it back from August 15 to September 1
[Nexus 7 General] dnalevelc:
I just picked up my Nexus 7 from Gamestop. I am about to open it and unlock. I might root it later. :D
[Nexus 7 General] bushpilotwannabe:
After a lot of hemming and hawing, I finally decided I wanted one of these last night. My local GameStop wouldn't hand any over, but he did put me down as wave 2, so maybe that one is still open? Didn't have an estimate of when I could get it, though.

I also wasn't sure GameStop would really do the 50% bonus on iPods because I couldn't find anything official about it last night, but I can confirm they are, at least at the shop I went to. They took my 8GB 2nd gen iPod touch off my hands for $88.50 ($59 base + $29.50 bonus) in store credit.

UPDATE: I went there at 11:30am today. At 1:00pm, he called and told me I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow morning. Hooray!
[Nexus 7 General] meisjen26:
Any more info on adorama? Are they shipping again? I preordered first thing this morning around 7am, only to find out by theverge.com that adorama was asked to stop selling and later found out gamestop is selling their preorders lol. I'm not mad just thought mine would have been shipped out today.

EDIT

Just looked on their site and they now have this message.

New item available for pre-order. You may place this on order now and it will be shipped on a first come first serve basis. We do not charge your card until actually ship the item to you. Tentative Shipping Date is Mid August Limit 2 per customer!
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
called local office depot (in NYC) and they said the "in stock" status on the web is a mistake and it will become available next week.
[Nexus 7 General] andyrm66:
My sams had 10, now they have 8, and I have 2.
[Nexus 7 General] chilipalm:
So I called my Gamestop where I preordered it two weeks ago since I haven't received anything letting me know and they do have it in for people that preordered ready for pick up. Looks like the guy who took down my information did screw it up.
[Nexus 7 General] razorseal:
it sucks because the one I ordered from only had like 3 that came in, and 2 were reserved for employees. the other one got taken by a guy who had dibs before I did

:mad:

I doubt I can pre-order then pick it up today from the hollywood store. lol
[Nexus 7 General] JimmyHACK:
The "In Stock" online is 100% accurate, they have them in their warehouses and the "in Stock" is in regards to their online inventory. They do not have any store options for sale/inventory online yet.. That being said, my local OD has 1 physically in stock with my name on it once the register lets them sell it.
[Nexus 7 General] Skillz1318:
Called my local Sam's Club and they said they weren't in stock yet : (

Store: What is that?

Me: a tablet.

Store: Hold on

Store: A next what?

Me: Nexus, N-e-x-u-s, 7, a tablet.

just picked up preorder from GS as well
[Nexus 7 General] general_z:
Hm.... only preorders or can one just visit and buy it? Reason i'm asking is because my sister is in Miami at the moment and then could pick it up for me (i live in Sweden...). :)

I'm currently at the help desk at Sam's club, they have 5 but cannot find them lol

[Nexus 7 General] general_z:
I read about some other guy that picked one up, without preorder, in FL. The different stores doesn't seem to do things the same... :)
[Nexus 7 General] jsgiv:
I'd go and ask...

I went yesterday afternoon looking for one at the local GS. Essentially, by "reading through the lines" based on the employee's response - I went ahead and pre-ordered at that point. They had them in stock - but couldn't release them yet because of the "when is the release date mess" - but he effectively told me that "I needed to pre-order now".

Sure enough, once I found out via this thread that GS was releasing them now - I called up and asked if I could pick it up. It's now sitting on my desk charging, with a fresh update of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 applied.. :)

The UPS guy also showed up while I was waiting on the employee (assisting another customer) - and there were 2 boxes of tablets being delivered today as well. I'm fairly certain they didn't have many pre-orders - so check your local GS today and definitely over the weekend. Depending on when you check, I'd be willing to bet you'll be able to pick one up in the next few days without a pre-order - and that really depends on how many pre-orders the store has... (In my case I don't believe many people in the area of the store I got it from know they actually sell anything but video games.. :))

Overall, I'm really impressed with the tablet - I have a Kindle 3g that this will be replacing along with a portable "extra" laptop I carry for work purposes.

The size is just right (didn't want something the size of an iPad, etc.), and it performs *almost* as well as the iPad in all areas (browser still isn't as smooth of an experience as Safari - but close).

What's obviously lacking is the number of applications made specifically for the Nexus 7 (most are effectively the mobile/phone version). I'm looking forward to seeing if the introduction of this tablet will foster more "native" applications.

Good luck to all trying to find one... :)

A little update from Canada.

I just called the place I knew they would get it

Ebgames : Even if it's the canadian version of GameStop. Nothing, niet nada. Not even in inventory or in the futur.

Staples : In the system, not yet in inventory. Should be on the 23 ( probably earlier )

Future Shop : No answer from them but probably next week

Best Buy : They now own Future Shop and they told me they are waiting for the shipment in the upcoming week. Should go on sale right away.

Google Play : Still no UPS confirmation ( did the pre-order the minute it went live )

So far that's all the places I could think of that might get it. If you know any other place in Canada ( in Quebec for me ). Let me know !
[Nexus 7 General] general_z:
Nice! :) I'll tell here to go to the nearest one and try. Thanks for the heads up!
[Nexus 7 General] bushpilotwannabe:
+1. I did not place a pre-order and stopped into GameStop on my lunch break. Couldn't get it then, but I'll be able to grab one first thing in the morning.

which one was it? give me the number, i'll call and ask myself. i'm in boca so... I'll cancel my pre-order at the pompano one if I must

Bought mine from a Sam's in upstate SC. They had 5 on hand (4 now).
[Nexus 7 General] Myrriad:
Just got my order notification from Staples. Forecast delivery on 7/16/12.
[Nexus 7 General] razorseal:
ok I called the boca town center and she told me who had what in stock

every store has just enough in stock to cover upto pre-orders from the 11th.

most stores had 2 in stock and they were reserved for the people who pre-ordered.

since I pre-ordered yesterday, I'm SOL.

what sucks is that my store had 3, and 1 was up for grabs between me and the other guy, he got there when the store opened, so he got it before I did. bummer

everyone is saying next wave is going to be aug 7th

ok, my local sams club has it. (2 in stock)

call and ask for item number 793929

catch is, if you're not a member, you gotta pay the 40 dollar premium to become a member :(

or you can ask at the door and see if anyone is willing to buy it for you. LOL

you can use this to get a one day pass there, but gotta pay a 10% premium :( it's 247 there.

there is also a student or mil discount where you pay 40 for membership, and get a 15 dollar gift card...

Looks like the preorder link at Gamestop is gone. I searched the site for Nexus 7 and it didn't show up. I had the preorder link bookmarked by that link is no longer available. Looks like I may have to go in person to preorder.

My Galaxy S3 is arriving Monday so the Nexus 7 will be for my wife.

Can't wait!

So excited! - I pre-ordered the 16GB model yesterday from Office Depot, along with the coupon code for the free $15 gas card. Since there is tax, but free shipping, this brought the price back down to $249.99. Not a bad deal. Estimated arrival date: July 24th.

Picked up 1 of 5 Nexus 7's in stock at a Sam's Club about an hour away. I did pay $40 for the membership but the membership fee is refundable, i do plan on canceling it - and for a legitimate reason to, they refused to sell it to me and gave me a very hard time until i asked to see the manager.

I called them at 10 AM, gave them the item number and they said they had them in stock, asked if i can buy one, lady said yes.

I get there, customer service lady was very nice but couldn't for the life of her figure out where they were in the store. Stock guy came over and said that they have them but as far as he was aware, they couldn't sell them.

I asked for him to radio the manager because i wasn't leaving the store without one (drove 55 minutes in traffic, no way i was leaving empty handed). The manager heard me i guess and came to the front with a Nexus 7 in a bag, apologized and told me to go use the regular register to purchase it!

I left happy with my N7 :D Time to play with it :cool:

not at all, they were in the asus shipping box and they opened it up, and I got my nexus.

[Nexus 7 General] wtfmate913:
I got lucky! Was wondering your opinions on if I should just cancel my google play order which says nothing but "order received," or wait for it and resell it? Also if I can't cancel with Google play do I have to pay return shipping to get a refund?
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
It's too late to cancel your order. Others have tried (on Slickdeal forum). Google says that once they "sent it to the warehouse" it can't be stopped.

HOWEVER, they also said that if you refuse delivery or send it back unopened, they will give you a full credit including S/H costs.
[Nexus 7 General] wtfmate913:
ok thanks, so just refuse the package when it arrives? Or if I want to roll the dice and see if there's a shortage I can hold onto it.

I just tried to cancel my Staples pre-order, but it's already processing and should get delivered via UPS on Monday. Nexus 7...feast or famine.

Some info regarding pre-orders from B&H:

"We expect a good-sized delivery Monday but not enough to cover all back orders. We updated the info on our site to inform any customer who may be considering placing an order at this time.

With my luck I'm probably not one of those lucky who gets their order covered by this batch... :p

I ordered on the 6th and I called and emailed them and they said mine was pushed back until September
[Nexus 7 General] pellen:
I've been in contact with the B&H live support chat three times and only got vague answers like "I don't know when we receive the first shipment" etc...I get the feeling that the guy at their google+ page knows more than the regular support staff...I hope so too :p

Just went to my local Sams club and they have 5 of them and they will not sell me one at all. They said that they have been told not to sell them because of the injunction with Google and Apple. They cannot sell until they are told to do so. Anyone wanna pick one up for me! :)

J&R has 50 Nexus 7s in stock and all spoken for. They couldn't tell me what Number I was in line, just that I'm not one of the first 50.

If someone else could call them and ask how many orders where place for the Nexus 7 it might give us more information I kind of forgot to ask when he told my I wasn't getting one of the 50 they just got in.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
I just called as well and got the same guy you got. He said they received 50 and shipped them all out, but couldn't tell me where in line I was either. The person who can was out (which might be what the tweet they had about how the guy who had the info would be in on Monday meant). He said that if you were part of the first 50 you would've already received a shipping email. He also said they would have more in in the next few weeks which is what they also said on facebook:

I really hope they get a full shipment on Monday to ship out. I was able to order from J&R from the real product page and not from the javascript that others used.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Did you ask about the total number of orders? That question Slipped my mind.

I also ordered from the real page. And I have a feeling anyone who ordered with out the 15 dollar coupon would jump to the head of the line. :-/
[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
What javascript were people using? I'm pretty sure I ordered from the real page also.

July 4th was my order.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Someone made a link that added it directly to you cart after they pulled it from the store and it was another day before they fixed it so that didn't work.

I ordered July 3rd at around 3pm est.

[Nexus 7 General] cubfan80:
Oh yeah well then I used the javascript...lol
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
Same here, ordered right before it was pulled.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
I can only imagine how far you are down the line..
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Depending on how they ship it, even if they deliver it (and you don't sign for it, but just leave it at your door), you can usually drop it back off to the shipper within a few days (~5), and as long as it's unopened, it will be return to sender for free. It will probably take Google a while to process the return and credit you back, but they said via email they would give a full refund.

So yeah, you could keep it a few days and decide what you want to do. Worst case, I'm sure you could sell it on CL or to a friend for the price you paid.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Once you get the tracking number you might also be able to call USP and refuse it before it even gets to you.

EDIT

That should be UPS not USP

Waiting on my JR order, I went to my local Sam's to buy one. Do you guys think it would be fine if I just took my JR order and return it to the sam's club for a refund?

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

That wouldn't work because the serial number is scanned in to the computer upon purchase..

Though If weren't one of the first 50 you can cancel your order and move us up the list.
