Thanks for the suggestion. I just called my credit card to make sure everything checked out on their end and they said everything looks good.

I did have the phone shipped to my work but i wouldn't think that would be an issue, because i have seen several others here say they got theirs delivered to their workplace

Dude, that Chrome logo just makes me think that Samus Aran from Metroid is on her way to steamrolling your ass! You never told me where you got that avatar, or who the artist was. Some kind of secret? Still think it looks like a Philip Steadman piece.
[Nexus 4 General] fitzman49:
Only one day left!
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
To be honest, I don't know where I got it.

If you really want it you will get some! Get a friend to get it. That's what I do haha :eek:

What's the Limbo Level for RMA? My N4 showed up today and it had a scratch/scuff on the bezel out of the box. Already processed the return and handed it off to UPS.

To be fair though, that one can't really be blamed on Google. LG (or someone closer to them) is the one that packages the devices, and this is the first time in a long while I've ever seen a device ship without some kind of foam covering over the front surface or on the inside of the box cover. The face of the phone is completely exposed to the inside of the box cover, and guess what I found there? A hanging bit of material, right in the exact spot to put that scratch on the bezel (and practically the ONLY part of the device not protected by that plastic film). Honestly LG, lern2package.

FWIW, the Google customer support reps were actually pretty helpful to me..
[Nexus 4 General] Vladearg:
Has anyone in the 2-3 week bracket got theirs?

I ordered mine at 4:15PST on 11/27
[Nexus 4 General] eliteconcept:
Dude your in for the long haul. They haven't even taken care of 1st round back orders yet. Get in line :)

nah not that fast, i think it gonna be exact 2 weeks

Sweet same here! If only I worked closer to Dover I would pick it up first thing in the am!
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well I think Spain when I visited was 18, but since I was about a hand taller than everyone else, I never got carded. But to the point, they tend to have much more strict DL tests, with harsher penalties for drunk driving. Plus, you have a casual drinking culture that, though they still have drunks, doesn't put the focus on binge drinking that we Americans tend to gravitate toward. I know Brits are pretty hard drinkers but when you have the danger of losing your license for life for drinking and most locals aren't far from home (relative to the sprawled out US), a cab is the must better/easier choice. It's just a different culture. Various European countries have many many pluses that I wouldn't mind to trade for, but in the end, I just couldn't trade the entirety of the American lifestyle I enjoy for that. Much love, my European brothers...

Nice! My house is like 15 minutes from Dover :good:
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
They told me they can't charge my credit card, even though there is a pending charge from them on my card. Supposedly they're "holding one back" for me...we'll see...
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I'm on the phone with them right now to make sure everything is good to go. I will update later.
[Nexus 4 General] Vladearg:
Is the OP going to update the front page with new levels of limbo?

Limbo4= 1-2 weeks, Limbo5= 2-3 weeks, Limbo6=3-4 weeks.... and if they didnt get in before limbo 6, they likely are not obsessive enough to be viewing this sight anyways. :P
[Nexus 4 General] fitzman49:
Awesome! Portsmouth here but work 45 min away so cant take advantage of a lunchtime pickup :(
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
This is the only reason why I buy from the Play store. Typically have the best return/RMA policy in the biz. Any niggling issue you have they will process an RMA. That is GREAT customer service, although right now, they are really slowing down on the shipment of RMAs. I guess the back up of inventory is even affecting their RMA process. At least with the N7 there was no such delay. I have an N10 waiting for RMA, so I feel you man. Good luck getting a prompt exchange.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I'm already calling dibs on Limbo 4 "The Broken". Or "The Cancelled". I haven't decided yet.
[Nexus 4 General] uEih:
Slow down speed racer, you're in for a long wait. Nobody that ordered yesterday or after yesterday is getting theirs anytime soon. Most likely not even before Christmas, all those orders were pretty much imaginary numbers so google can see how much they need to make. Other than that there is a huge shortage on phones at the moment.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Aww that's no fun. Luckily I only have class until 10:45 and it's going to be delivered after 1:15. I'm so excited :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
We actually already had a Level 4, that was the Impatient (because 4 was having tracking but no delivery yet). Though these days all of Limbo is swirling, so who knows what's what anymore, and I can't image where we'd slot you in. Could use a reset for the new orders where there's not a backorder email to key off of. "New Limbo Level" perhaps.
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
limbo 4 is already taken:
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Make sure you check back daily on this issue. The squeaky wheel gets oiled so to speak. They will eventually do right by you, but the one thing the CSR's can do for you is use their insider system to query the shipping/processing/case specialist departments. Even if they have no control of orders, them pinging those department puts your issue on their radar, which I believe is different than people complaining about being on back order status. When it comes to charges, and orders going through, the case specialists they refer you to, are much more helpful than finding info on why your back order is taking so long. Good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] Vladearg:
Limbo= purgatory.

You aren't in a limbo level anything.

You are in hell.
[Nexus 4 General] eliteconcept:
No limbo levels needed for back orders placed on 11/27 most knew the orders were going instantly to backordered or delayed shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Okay, the supervisor I spoke to had the attention span of a ferret on crystal meth. Basically all he said was "Everything looks good to go" but had zero specifics. These ****ing people have no idea what they are doing.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Limbo Level 4 is already taken man. It's "the hated." You have to go up levels. Like say LLInfinity, or something like that. Once all of the original launch day people are served, perhaps LL's can change significance now that they actually have a sort of queue or pre-order system in place.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
We're not getting shipping confirmation anytime soon man. If we're lucky we'll get one next week. Realistically probably the week after. I'm in the 2-3 week bracket.
[Nexus 4 General] whewstoosae:
In the same boat as you. Emailed them and they got back to me stating my card had failed and needed me to update the information. Not sure what to do because my information has not changed. I basically just resubmitted the new cvc number and pray that they email me back tonight. This sucks.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Then what do we call mine?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
You aren't even in limbo anymore. You are laying on the floor being trampled. We will call you "The Trampled"
[Nexus 4 General] SysAdmNj:
I'm in this group too. What is this group called? Should there be a seperate thread?
[Nexus 4 General] :
That happened to me the first 30 seconds into the ordering process. I called, and they essentially told me to make another order. Hung up on them mid-sentence. :|

Also yes. I'm in the group as well. Let's get a fire going.
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
We are The Knowledgeable. We know we have a long fight ahead of us and have agreed to accept the consequences (Which includes waking up and hoping you slept for weeks, extreme jealously, the constant thought of your Nexus sitting in a sorting facility, and the runs)

We are the Limbo 8. We will never be forgotten.

Man, I'm salivating after reading the description for that beer. Any hops that are fruity/floral are on the top of my list. Tired of the pine/citrus notes (unless it's pineapple citrus). Where did you get it and when did you purchase? Did it come in a 4/6 pack, or was it one of those ones that's in the tall skinny box (like some limited releases)? I'm going to try my local Total Wine in Chantilly to see if there's any available. They have about 500 bottled beers at my location, and usually the large majority of Widmer varieties.
[Nexus 4 General] klownkillah:
Wow that's cool. I hope the one I ordered for my wife gets shipped that quickly!
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Believe that was a confirmed troll/fake. Maybe I'm wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
Exact same thing here. Considering the charge has been pending on my card for two days, I think they were able to charge it? wtf
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
"Hello Joe,

Thank you for contacting Google Play! regarding the change to your payment method. I appreciate the call, and I'll be more than happy to assist you.

I've reviewed your account and can confirm that you've successfully placed your order. Your order is now successfully charged."

Yeah, sure, we'll see about that.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
you are in limbo 3.5, because your phone might just ship soon. There is no lack of information to qualify for a new level of limbo, you just need to wait a little while for your new credit card to be charged and then I am sure it will ship (just as long as you got the "this week" email).
[Nexus 4 General] whewstoosae:
Yea previously I had the whole amount pending on my account, then all the date changes and charge changes and it went to a dollar pending. Then that dollar was no longer there either and I'm just stuck. Feels awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
No need to do anything....we know what our time frame is. We shouldn't expect anything for at least two weeks. If we hear something sooner than great. If you hear nothing by the second week of december then I would begin to worry.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Has any been able to prove that this is a fake or not?

Also no one has an idea if Google really has the shipments to make up for this huh? Just really speculation and observation.

Yes it's highly likely that they aren't kidding about the whole it's going to take about as long as it said on your order statement. I'm under 2-3 weeks. It will likely take 2-3 weeks, or even lesser than that. No one really knows until people from yesterday actually start getting phones. I believe even my first attempt said 1-2 weeks so it shows that they may not have even had stock to deal with this sale. It would be very surprising if I actually get mine before Christmas, but for now I'm just going to check it daily, and assume it will update within 2-3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
The best part was they told me I can just cancel my order if I want. Seriously? After two weeks of waiting and contacting them about my order, telling me it's fine...cancel?
[Nexus 4 General] :
I guess they don't understand the whole idea of you putting in the effort to buy their phone and that the whole idea of cancelling it is like spitting in your face and charging you for it. :|
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
some people said it was fake earlier in the thread. Someone said there was a graphical error somewhere in the photo but I don't remember what exactly. No one else has reported a shipping confirmation that ordered yesterday so I can only assume it's fake.

sent another email into play support asking why i have yet to receive a shipping notification. Told them i checked with my credit card and everything looks good on that end, and asked if they were having some sort of issue charging my card. I stated that I wanted to know what is going on and when my phone will ship and to not reply with a blanket "your phone will ship this week" statement.

This is such garbage the way google conducts business...
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Today has been great for some, awful for others. I'm at least happy that a majority of LL3 people got their phones today, but their memory lives on. They fought the good fight, but we've lost many members of the Pitchfork Committee. I wish to soon join them in their paradise, but until then, I hold my pitchfork with pride.

[Nexus 4 General] .A.J.:
I have 2 orders (1 phone each order) that fit into the 2-3 week shipping timeframe & I'm not stressing it.

I figure it'll take them 2-3 weeks to ship them out to me. I'll start thinking about it on 12-18 or so. Stressing/thinking about it isn't going to get me my phones any quicker.

I feel bad for the people that ordered day 1 and don't have their phones yet.

This G2/Desire Z/Vision will hold me over until my N4 arrives.

[Nexus 4 General] klownkillah:
well in that case sorry for bringing it back up.... and thank you for clarifying the situation.

I see now that in the first screen shot it says "order date" and in the second screenshot it says "orderdate" - i checked my previous emails from Google regarding my first N4 order and they both say "order date"... so yeah, the post must be fake.
