no shipping information yet,

but my card has been charged a second time (first time I had a "pending" status on my card for few hours), so hopefully has been shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] biggiephat:
I've had a pending charge on my cancelled 8gb nexus 4 and for my current 16gb nexus 4 since ordering on my amex
[Nexus 4 General] NexusIncarnate:
Maybe it depends on the card. Mine showed a pending purchase before it even showed up in google wallet for me, and the pending charge is still there.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
The only difference between a hold and a charge is that a hold can be reversed instantly. A refund has to go through a lengthy process. In theory, most merchants system work by putting an hold during the day until the charge is finalized at midnight. So as this is only 12-24hour longer "charge" I wouldn't disagree with the technically.
[Nexus 4 General] ManOnTheMoon:
Order placed Tuesday at 1150am

Got an email at 3am saying my order shipped. Tracking number doesn't work yet. Crossing my fingers for Friday delivery

Transmitted from my GALAXYSIII running Jelly Bean. XDA premium
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
order time 1:26pm, no shipping date, says 2 days shipping in wallet, no tracking info yet. nj.
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I probably spoke to the same guy - took him ages to string words together to form a coherent sentence (& even then it didn't make much sense)

I guessed he wasn't gonna be much help so thanked him and put the phone down :(
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
Mine says "order in progress" on Wallet. I am shipping to Georgia and was charged sales tax. I have not received tracking info yet. Wallet shows 11:56a as my order time for two 16gb N4's.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Seriously? Maybe I worded it wrong, What I mean is I just want to find out why I hadn't received my tracking email after waiting more than 48hrs as stated by Google.

I don't see how I am bragging, I mentioned it once that he stuttered to answer basic questions like, 'What is your name?'

You guys think I am giving him a hard time, it looks like it has turned on me.

I wasn't aggressive of any sort, it's not in my nature, I did not ask stupid questions, I did not threaten or be rude as it has come across.

I don't want to continue this discussion any longer, as it seems you guys are getting defensive and attacking me.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
No shipping email for me.

Ordered 11:45am CST
[Nexus 4 General] ohaaron:
Has it been 48 hrs yet? I thought orders opened up at 11:30ish AM EST.
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
Not all credit card company's do this some put a hold on so you don't go over your limit. Most however would rather you go over your limit and then charge you $50 for being so stupid.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
I placed my order at Order Date: November 13, 2012 8:35:24 AM UTC-8 was charged that day with in like 10 mins of placing order.:laugh:

Never got the notify me when available email.:rolleyes:

order as of today still shows Pre-order.:(

I called the play store support and they said thats very odd and there going to try to get it out today.:eek:

The man I talked to said if it goes out today I should have it monday and they do not deliver on weekends.:victory:

I know some of you mentioned UPS my choice how does that work? I Already signed up so say the package is at my nearest facility what do I do? Do I just put in the tracking number and request to hold package for will call?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Plexicle:
Actually, the difference is completely up to your bank. There's a process in place for a "pre-authorization" and that's a standardized process.

Google: "Pre-auth request this account for $500."

Bank: "Pre-auth approved. We're going to go ahead and put this money to the side for now."

Google: "Whatever."

2 days later..

Google: "Authorize purchase for $450. Pre-auth code: 123"

Bank: "Ah, we set that aside for you. Here's your $450, Google. We'll let go of the other $50."

Google: "Whatever. Thanks for the money bro."

or, 5-10 days later,

Google: *crickets*

Bank: "Guess nothing is happening with that pre-auth."

I have a good relationship with my bank, and there's a lot of money going through there. They don't bother with pre-auths, so I never actually saw the pre-auth when I ordered my phones, they just instantly approve it with Google and don't bother "holding" any money, because they don't feel I'm at risk for overdraw.

So, the only reason the "refund" is instant when it's canceled is because Google never had your money to begin with. It never left your account. The bank gets the cancel request and just lets you see it again.
[Nexus 4 General] brocabortzfield:
I got my tracking email at 4:05am EST...
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
Charges still shows pending

Wallet still shows pending

Play Store still not showing as complete

No tracking/shipping email

Im a little under 3 hours from that 48 hour window.....
[Nexus 4 General] robg2008:
Really jealous of all of you with shipping information. Ordered at 1132 eastern no shipping info at all.
[Nexus 4 General] xMemphisx:
Same. Order went through at 11:33 AM EST... and nothing. Google must just make this up as they go.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
there is no 48 hour window, that was just an excuse. i passed 53 hours already - nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Thanks I'll go set that up. I wish UPS would deliver things actually to where I live and not send Purolator to deliver things, they aren't great on organizing somewhere to pick parcels up.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I hope that we can add a note for shipping because I don't want them to leave it on my front step. Would MUCH rather have it left on the back porch so it won't be stolen.
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
It's probably almost guaranteed that a signature will be required to get it so I think you'll be okay.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I don't think you can leave a note while you check out - but maybe you can call UPS for that.

Um... not always. My brother's GN and Nexus 7 was left at front door.

Again - I recommend everyone to sign up for UPS my choice ( http://www.ups.com/mychoice/ ) so you'll know when a package is coming your way. Google is slow at updating your order status.

You'll receive an email like this:
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
When they delivered my Gnex to my house they just left it at my garage. It may be a little different now that I'm in a apartment
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I didn't sign for my nexus 7 it all depends on the ups person doing the delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
I guess it's because where I am it's a 3rd party company. I wish there would be an option to just pick it up at the UPS depot for people who aren't home during the day.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Usually if your not home they'll leave a ups sticker saying to pick it up in a ups store or call and tell them to deliver it the next day
[Nexus 4 General] tatltael:
Hey guys, My friend lives in Miami, and I asked him to order the N4 on the 13th. He is gonna leave the US on the 21st and come to India, and give me the phone.

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether I can be sure the phone will be delivered to him before he leaves on the 21st.

Based on previous experiences with google playstore launches, do you guys know how high the chances are of the phone reaching him before he leaves?
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
With certain areas they will just leave it, pretty prejudice of them I think. I've talked to them about it, had signature confirmation on an eBay'd hard drive enclosure that I wouldn't be there to accept, they told me it's a "safe neighborhood" and they don't bother with signatures there. I live across from a church, and I find packages just left at the house most of the time. Sometimes they'll ring the bell, and by the time I get to the door they're walking away, don't even bother to get a signature when I'm here. Pisses me off actually, I've had family not lock their car doors and have stuff stolen at night. Usually just loose change, but a Zune and a laptop as well. Once they left my door brothers car door open and he had to get a jump. So, news flash for you UPS, even in a "safe neighborhood," and even right across the street from a church, there are thieves.
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Anyone know if there's UPS My Choice for Canada?
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Thats terrible of them. I'm going to attempt to find someone that's home. I like to get it asap so I can replace my Galaxy Ace. Does anyone know what type of sim card they use?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Nexus 4? MicroSim.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I personally prefer no signature. I'm not home that often and I hate when they leave a sticker " we missed you....." and have to reschedule a delivery,
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yep.. same. :)
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
I'm just afraid of it getting rained/snowed on or stolen.
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:
Luckily never had a package stolen from my front porch before (maybe once, not entirely sure), though plenty of times they get delivered to the wrong house. Again, luckily my neighbors are nice enough to bring them over to us when it happens :p
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I believe there is a form online that you can print off and sign and attach to your door, that might be fedex though. One of those two companies has a form, the other will accept handwritten and signed notes.

Either way, this should be the alternative, a signed note if you aren't there for them to release without signature, not the standard.
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Unfortunately I don't think it is :(

I hope Telus lets me have a micro sim and let me keep my phone as pay as you go.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I believe it's FedEx. UPS generally leaves it by the door or at the front desk of a building.

For those that got their order shipped, on your Play store orders page did it say complete, shipping on 15, or pre ordered?

Sent from my One X
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
You have all day to get tracking numbers. It's not like UPS is picking these up in small batches as the labels are printing; whether you got a tracking number at three in the morning or tonight at 5:30, they'll all go out in the same shipment.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
for anyone using UPS My Choice that has received a email shipping confirmation. have you received anything information from My Choice.
[Nexus 4 General] ohaaron:
It did say shipping on the 15th. Now it says Shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
That's because all that's happened is a label has been printed for you. I guarantee UPS has not touched that package yet.

[Nexus 4 General] OneStepAhead:
ex UPS employee here. UPS only delivers on Saturday Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air packages that the shipper specified Saturday delivery on, it costs the shipper extra. We'll have no idea if google requested Saturday delivery or not. Our center in Middleton, WI that delivers to the west side of Madison, WI just had 1 driver that did Saturday deliveries, so its not very common.

- Phones are then flew/driven to another UPS facility

- Phones are further sorted and placed on delivery truck

- UPS trucks can leave lot at 9am local time

- Delivered to your home
[Nexus 4 General] DarkSi08:
That seems to be pretty typical with them.

You know what, though? It certainly can't be any worse than when I preordered a Transformer Prime from Best Buy.... Holy CRAP that was a fiasco!! And that's what Best Buy does....

As someone said, Google should just let Amazon or someone handle their orders for them! Or some sort of logistics company who is used to this kind of volume, at least...

I hate being compelled to be an early adopter. Sometimes I just wish I didn't get so excited over stuff like this. haha

Oh well, it'll be well worth the wait, I'm sure!

Hey i'm located in Boston too! Here is my update (I ordered a 8 and a 16GB):

Order: (1) 16GB Nexus 4 :::: (1) 8GB Nexus 4

Order placed: 2:00 pm EST ::::11:59 am EST

Play store: Shipping estimate 11/15 :::: Completed Shipped With tracking #

Wallet: Pending :::: Completed (shipped)

Hopefully i get my tacking number for 16GB! Want that one more!!!

Tracking number got added, order shows as completed in google wallet now - Ordered at 12:01 est, shipping to ohio....
[Nexus 4 General] BLAQK ROXSTAR:
We placed our order at the exact same time, I haven't received anything either. I ordered two phones though and they are going to separate addresses.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
It seems they are having stock issues for 16GB. I do hope they have enough stock for all 16GB orders.
[Nexus 4 General] glenroebuck:
happens all the time with hotels - they want a credit card for incidentals - they run a hold charge of say 100 dollars for your stay - so if you eat all the almonds from the mini bar or use the phone in the room or any of the 1000 charges they can snag you with lol - it is covered unless you pay otherwise. A hold charge will deduct from your total credit limit - so if you get a hold charge of 4000 and your credit is 5000 you can charge 1000 dollars and not go over limit...even if you never actually spend the 4000 hold charge ...

Basically the bank is saying "yeah he can pay for that"

that being said - mine was not a pending transaction I was charged ..which I thought was odd.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Wtf....same state, ordered 11:42 still not shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
Has anyone had a 16GB model ship?
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
has anyone gotten shipping confirmation/tracking last night for 16gb ones.

Also has anyone contacted Google today that has a Estimated shipping date as 11/15 and if so what did they say.
[Nexus 4 General] dexter_walrus:
What if they ship according our last names. Alphabetically.
[Nexus 4 General] Radsolutionz:
it seems like everyone who ordered a 8gb is getting theirs first. i ordered 2 16 gb ones, im still no tracking. i called google just now, the rep told me that sometime today we should receive tracking number. if i dont receive it today "do not hesitate to call us." she repeated that 2 times... she said shipping could be as early as friday or as late as monday.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
As I said, its a mess, its random.

I believe that will piss off even more people.

[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
They haven't shipped mine yet and it's going to be 48 hours in 2 hours. I ordered a 16gb one and haven't received anything yet. I'm calling them up once I do a few things. This is ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] wcdude18:
Ugh. Seems that in my attempt to get my order in as early as possible and be amongst the first to receive shipment, I've inadvertently screwed myself since their ordering process was so FUBAR in the opening moments of the sale. Why else would the one you ordered at 2:00p show as shipped and the 11:59a be still pending?

Bummed. Like many others here, I really wanted to mess around with this over the weekend. However, not going to lose any sleep over it (at least, not any more than I did when I woke up at 3:00a Tuesday to try and buy one then). Looks like my order is in there, so I should get my Nexus 4 eventually.
[Nexus 4 General] dale_cooper:
Mine is an 8gb for what its worth....

It could be that a lot of these orders are getting shipped at the same time but it's taking them a while to update tracking data on orders. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened really because I've seen it before.

I was charged and my money was taken out of my account

on the same day, I checked my bank and the funds were gone.
[Nexus 4 General] nikeman513:
Mine says pending, but does anyone else's say 2 day shipping? I guess I paid for 2 day shipping without realizing it? I don't even remember seeing the option.. Not really complaining though, just asking.
[Nexus 4 General] xMemphisx:
That was the only option. You didn't get to choose, but you had to pay for it.

2 Devices... Last names starts with a "B"... no shipping yet
[Nexus 4 General] nyijedi:
Correct, it is random - at least it was back with the Nexus 7 orders. In that case, I was one of the "late" orders and ended up getting my N7 before most immediate orders here on XDA. In this case, the I'm an immediate order that's still waiting. Nothing you can do.
[Nexus 4 General] sarcosis:
Did they say where they were shipping it from?

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
[Nexus 4 General] illmatic90:
It seems like you misread my post. The left side of the dots corresponds to my 16GB order and right side info corresponds to my 8GB. So it was actually my 8GB Nexus 4 (which i ordered at 11:59 EST) which I have received tracking info and tracking # for. So don't worry if you ordered early, you should receive shipping info soon!
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
The funds are "gone" but they haven't actually physically/virtually exchanged hands.
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I am still stuck in pending. I called and they said it may take another day to get the tracking # on. D'OH
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
I'm pretty sure we can through out the last name bull, no company does that on such a high volume. Its randomly being shipped. You can complain all you want but doesn't make any more special that you ordered 2 min or 2 hours before me or I did before you. We all ordered on the same day.
[Nexus 4 General] dale_cooper:
Anyone know where these are shipping out of? On another note, everyone should chill, I'm sure everyone's devices are going out today AT THE SAME TIME or at least in consecutive waves. Its a known fact that google's tracking and order updates are slow.
