I received my shipping refund on my bank statement today as I was promised I would get it even though it DID make it here in their time frame.... I had spoken with multiple reps that just lied to us ALL and they sent me confirmation e-mails that I would receive a shipping refund so when I finally received my N4 they tried to give me **** but I forwarded about 3 e-mails I had, that promised me free shipping, so they ended up honoring that! I don't think ANY of you that have not received your devices should have any issues getting a shipping refund at the VERY least... I think some of you may end up getting Play Store credits or something to that effect... I just came back to check this thread but have you guys and gals been notified of any evidence that yours will be shipping soon?? (Sorry I haven't read the whole thread) ;) I just hope you all get your devices REAL SOON!! :fingers-crossed: So we can enjoy them TOGETHER! :D :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I think for anyone that really wants this phone, 3rd party and Tmobile are going to be your best bet. They are sold out again on Tmo, but seems like their inventory is separate from Google's. I would honestly pay 500 for this device... I paid about that much for the Galaxy Nexus on a daily deals site when it was over $600 MSRP. I think that low price will make this device difficult to get from Google for a long while as long as demand is very strong. There's just too much incentive for people to resell the device. I hate it, but I don't begrudge them. Google should have just capped orders at two per order or something like that... maybe done something even more restrictive, but to price something so low with such high demand and specs, you are just asking for scalpers.

Times are tough, economy sucks, we are deficit spending to oblivion, and incentive makes people act a certain way. I would never spend my money on a 100 dollar bumper cover but if the demand is there, for some people "time" is more important than money. Economics 101.

Can't see how Google can be so short sighted and stupid, given their size and success, to offer a product as hot and top shelf as the Nexus 4 and not expect overwhelming demand. The Galaxy Nexus is the best phone I've ever used. It doesn't have the best specs anymore, but it's very serviceable and top notch overall due to the combination of its abilities and because of its cutting edge software. I still think an S3 with ICS is inferior to a GNex on JB. But anyway, it had good but not cutting edge specs (other than the screen) at its release and it wasn't even on the play store until over halfway though its service life. The Nexus 7 was advertized, unlike the GNex, but nevertheless, demand was huge. They also offered it for $400 on the play store, which is a HUGE price cut on the average high end phone. Now that most new phones out will be rolling with at least 4.1, you would expect a Nexus with Gorilla glass, premium exterior materials, newest android, and the fastest phone processor on the market, all at $50 less than the GNex was released on the play store would just be outrageously popular.

We all know how it turned out, but seems like the biggest retail mistake in recent years for any marquee company.
[Nexus 4 General] jjsoviet:
So at this point would you just recommend us to cancel and get the N4 somewhere? I'm considering it for a long time now.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well be as it may for you, I love Google Now. I love the voice instruction, I love the cards, all that. If I used public transit (heaven forbid! damn tax dollar sinkhole outside NYC/DC/Chicago) it would be incredibly useful. As it is, it helps me out in this traffic hell hole of the greater Washington DC area, and it's very helpful otherwise. I understand wanting to disable it, but it provides a valuable service. There's no reason though that they couldn't optimize the amount of power it uses further.
[Nexus 4 General] Bishop:
I know a lot of diehard fans that are infuriated by this move of google... Hell some even where going to start developing pretty cool apps... Some of them where migrating from iOS... oh well. I guess nothing is perfect :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
No no no man... just endure the hardship for at least another week and get your Nexus. The Play store, as I've said multiple times, has REALLY GOOD warranty and RMA support. It's the one thing they get right. If it stretches beyond a week, you can do what you want, but at this point, having sold my GNex, I need a good phone. This is the only game in town, it's sold out at every real retailer, and I'm stuck with my Nexus S. So for me, I have to wait it out. I'm not wealthy enough to pay $150 more to skip the line... especially since even T-Mobile is out of stock.

If you absolutely need the phone, just give it a rest until TMo gets some stock in and then weigh your options. With the wait I've endured, a couple more weeks is not much. Holidays are a little tight money wise at this point for me. Your mileage may vary...
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Anybody think T-Mobile will have this in stock tomorrow?

[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
As of now, I've got a whole lot of **** to worry about than this phone. Though I really want this phone RIGHT NOW, but it's not going to happen. I've realized I've spent all my time and energy this past 2 weeks on this thread. I really don't give a **** about it. Being a college student, you've always got more things to worry about than you should.

**** it, it's almost December, finals are coming up and I can't have this phone in the way of my studies right now. That being said, let it come whenever the **** it wants. I'm done with speculating everyday.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
I think the we've past the anger stage, we're in the acceptance stage.

It's unfortunate that Google couldn't deliver on time, but.. at least we have it coming sometime, unlike other people that are paying way more than they should or haven't even able to order one/buy one.
[Nexus 4 General] jt.61:
Exactly what everyone needs to think. Time will only tell! Its just hard to get your mind off of it.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Going to meet someone to buy a 8gb for 400$ I called Google support and as long as the unit was purchased from Google that warranty is valid. Then when phone I ordered comes I gotta figure out what to do with it. I just caved on and decided to drop the 400 on the phone plus the guy is driving 40 min to meet me.

It's incredibly annoying that the eBay sellers are selling them for more and most people weren't able to buy them at all.Do you guys think that Google will open them for preorders today?. I hope so but even better if they started selling and shipping.Being a Australian sucks :(
[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:
I still havent been able to order the N4 for myself or my wife and I dont expect it to happen before Christmas which is a big shame. I dont know if its worth ordering the bumpers though as I see they are now available in the uk.

Lol, speak for yourself.

I'm still seriously pissed off at Google.

Worst order I've ever been involved with.

Well considering its an extra cause he ordered a 16gb after he realized he could still order them and so its an extra. Also he is driving 40 min to meet me so 60 extra bucks minus gas he's gonna make a whopping 40 bucks

Are they hiring where you work? Wish I had the opportunity to keep hitting F5 instead of working. I'd love a job that pays what I'm currently making and will let me spend hours trying to order a phone. Thanks for the advice.

P.S. Lecturing others on what they should have done may not be a good thing at this time.
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
I tried, they (the site manager) ignored me

Is there any update on the nexus 4 selling tomorrow?
[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
Thanksgiving just isn't the same when you know you have been betrayed!:mad:
[Nexus 4 General] mws17:
I tried as well and they could not care less.

At least they have stopped telling the LL2's that they will receive the phone "tomorrow". I finally got an email from a specialist that they are backordered.
[Nexus 4 General] andy o:
I thought betrayal was what Thanksgiving was about.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Its quite ridiculous that they can mess up the launch this bad, and offer absolutely no form of compensation besides free shipping.

Free shipping should be a given when you're buying an expensive device like this + having it be so small and light.

They need to offer us something besides free shipping. Give us a free bumper or even a play store gift card, but DO SOMETHING GOOGLE.

[Nexus 4 General] bleuiko:
Thank you so much, Google. This has been one of the worse shopping experiences ever.

-----------------------

Hello Bleuiko,

Thanks for contacting Google

Thanks for consenting to disable your lost or stolen device. We apologize if you have been waiting awhile to hear back from us. Your order will be cancelled and refunded within the next 3-5 business days.

If you still want the device, please place a new order.

If your order was stolen after delivery, be sure to specify a new shipping address, or make arrangements to be present for delivery to ensure that your package is delivered successfully. You can add a new shipping address to your Google Wallet account by using the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Google Wallet account (the Google Account used to purchase your device) at https://wallet.google.com

2. Click 'Address Book' on the left side of the screen

3. If your preferred address isn't listed, click 'New Address'

4. Enter your address and click 'Save'

If you'd like this to be set as your shipping address for future orders, you can do so by clicking 'Set as Default' after saving.

If your package is unopened, Google will issue a refund to the card originally charged for the order within 2 weeks.

If your package was opened, your returned device must first be inspected before determining the validity of the refund request. Results of the inspection will generally be available within 14 business days after your device is returned.

If your refund has already been processed by Google, it may take a few business days for your account to reflect this. Please contact your bank directly if you would like additional details on receiving the funds from a processed refund.

You can always check to see if a refund has been processed by visiting https://wallet.google.com/

[Nexus 4 General] Arcturus55:
Can't believe they didn't order a bigger stock for the Nexus 4 and 10, I mean there is absolutely no reason to keep a lower stock especially at this time of the year. Someone in Google is going to lose their job over this flop.....

[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Since the same thing happened (literally) during the Nexus 7 launch and we're still here experiencing the same issue with the Nexus 4, it's highly unlikely anything happened before, and highly unlikely for anything to happen now.

We're going to be back Nov of 2013 and have to deal with the same issue again. It's gonna suck.

In UK they are taking orders but est delivery is 2-3 weeks (straight to backorder essentially) and I think its still out of stock in some countries.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
The Nexus 10 is already back in stock for both models. Has been for a couple days now I think. This is all my speculation but with the Nexus 10 coming back in stock and the little t-mobile jargon on the playstore that they added for the Nexus 4 I can only assume that the Nexus 4 will be back in stock sooner than we might think. This is really just wishful thinking on my part though.
[Nexus 4 General] Arcturus55:
The Nexus 10 is not in stock, it clearly says ships within 2-3 weeks for me. Play Store Canada at least.

3-5 days for both 16GB and 32GB in the US.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
US Play Store says delivered in 3-5 bus. days for me for the 16GB Nexus 10. It's probably coming from Samsung + there isn't as much demand for the Nexus 10 as there is for the Nex4.
[Nexus 4 General] Arcturus55:
32 gb one is sold out in Canada and that's the one I wanted to replace my old 10.1 :( My point again though, there's no reason they should have had such a small stock, they would have sold it all comfortably by xmas and boxing day.

[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
My thoughts........ We all know, carriers/retailers are the largest customers phone manufacturers have...they order hundreds of thousands of units at a time, not 2 or 3...that said, I could see Google agreeing to terms with Tmo, Carphone Warehouse (UK) and whoever else..where Google agrees to limited Play store stock, if said companies agree to buy , say 500,000 n4's. This would be confirmed by a few points..1) obviously low stock and back stock of devices on Play Store. 2) Link on Play Store leading you to T-Mobile for your device..at 150 over Play store price unlocked. 3) Quick restock of n10s but not n4's ...

I hope this isn't the case..but capitalism isn't about you and me...its about getting our money.

[Nexus 4 General] idale:
According to Carphone Warehouse (who was claiming they weren't going to sell it at all), LG was requiring the higher prices for retailers. Whether Google has a special exemption or is subsidizing the cost or what, I don't know, but everyone else wasn't being allowed to sell below some particular price point. LG not wanting to undercut the Optimus G and their other devices, I guess.

Good input...hadn't thought about LG wanting their digs too...Some felt LG was a bad partner for the Nexus line. If this is the case than that would be a big hit on them . surely Google wouldn't let the nexus name be tarnished by a greedy OEM...of course Google acts aloof a lot of the time..

Up until this point I have been very patient. I received the BO email so I have not bothered calling in as I felt they were overwhelmed and just needed some time to do their job. I've also benefited from fellow XDAer here who have been calling and reporting CSR updates. But If the Play Store takes back orders tomorrow I am going to want some better answers about EXACTLY when I can expect my phone to ship. I know they said up to 3 weeks for back orders but they have also shown us they have ZERO organization when it come to handling hatches of orders. I would be very nervous about thousand of BF backorders getting dumped in with ours. Mix in googles lack of communication and I will be one of the people calling them 4 times a day.
