I ordered my at 8:32:54 AM PST according to the order email. So what you say is not entirely true. But I am sleeping tight tonight knowing a shiny Nexus will arrive tomorrow. :)
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
Yo guys, can anyone give me an update?

I'm a little drunk atm so can't concentrate and read through the last posts. Little summary would be appreciated.

I haven't seen any other device really shipping. Any news on N 7 3g?/N10 (just asking the forum there is dead LOL)

has anyone received the back order email and some shipping info pr can we give up hope if we received the back order info

[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
What if all of these backorder emails are simply some automated emails...?? Google hasn't made an official statement yet

#justsaying
[Nexus 4 General] AllproJJ:
That really sucks how Google screwed up another launch... How could such a successful company suck more than anyone else at launching products?

I'm not one of them that screwed over, I have a tracking number that says delivery is scheduled for tomorrow (Friday).... but it's just sad to see how many people that have been affected by this whole back-ordering ordeal.
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
I just signed up for My Choice UPS. Hopefully they send me some good news. let's see. Google Play store still says Est. Shipping Nov 15th. and Wallet says Pending. I haven't yet received the backorder email. I really hope my phone comes in tomorrow. i sold my phone 3 weeks ago. i am so desperate :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] luked14:

Anyone know how much would the shipping roughly be in the Uk ?

Since it's going for £279.00 incl tax. Thanks :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] lee.jarratt:
When I ordered my Nexus 7 from the Play Store, the shipping costs were £9.99.. it was worthwhile when it came the very next day! I guess I was pretty lucky that time though..

Thats intense haha. Good luck on your diffeq's and good luck with your shiny new nexus 4!

[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
That's what Google CSR told me. Actually two. I called twice and both of them said I should receive tracking number either tonight or tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Everyone's gotten their phones, bro. You didn't get one today? You should call Google ASAP.
[Nexus 4 General] okplaya:
To those who have received tracking information, what was used as reference?
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
I actually don't...what happened?
[Nexus 4 General] wililye:
thank you!!1

this is what I want to know

I got BO email

and I call google, and csr said BO because of lot of duplicate orders

but.. I really don't know it sounds like he really don't know about my order status

even after he looked up my info and asked me I got any BO mail or not.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Mine shipped over a month later.
[Nexus 4 General] hev88:
Ya... what he said. That would help track it without the traking number :D

[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
For those that said Google doesn't have the Saturday delivery on the shipment.. Guess again :D they do!
[Nexus 4 General] twistkick:
So here's what happened to me. After seeing all the posts concerning the backorders, I called google twice within an hour and both times was assured my phone was not going to be delayed. Then while in class, I received an e-mail saying my phone was on backorder. I was furious of course, and called the company for a third time afterwards. The lady assured me my phone was not on backorder, that she was not entirely sure why so many people received the e-mail, and said it was possibly because of the confusion between orders(some man ordered 30 nexus 10s I believe, in hopes of only getting four), and said that my phone would not be on backorder unless it showed up as on hold or something of that nature when checking my account on google play. She also said that it would be shipped tomorrow probably, and proceeded to e-mail me the full conversation after getting off the phone with me. I have a little hope left, emphasis on a little. Anyone else in the same boat? If nothing changes tomorrow I will be calling them again. I'm hopeful, but still frustrated. I hope this may help some people. I suggest you guys call and make sure everything is ok just in case.

This is the end...

I've hit the glass wall of the void.

I signed up with UPS My Choice at 3 pm, it is now 8:30 pm. It should have caught up by now. If UPS won't give me info on shipping, then no one will.

I hang my head, gents.

T'was good knowing you all.
[Nexus 4 General] bgaccord:
if i have ups my choice under my wifes name and the order of nexus 4 is on my name will i still get email that package is being deliver because of adress ? i try adding me on Other household members but keep getting error (1013)
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Well if you hear nothing tomorrow It's probably safe to assume you were backordered.

Can anyone explain UPS MyChoice any further? Does it find your shipment before Google sends out emails or something? I have made a post over in Q&A ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34197036) asking a few questions about it, if anyone could answer anything here or there that would be awesome.

Watch some TV, pretend i'm the protagonist and forget about this ever happened.

or I'll just wake up to a package on the door.
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:

[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Maybe they're basing our emails off of PST? I doubt it, but eh. Who knows?
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
I'm just going by the people who said they got emails between 1-4am EST early this morning. I'm assuming if another batch gets shipped, our emails will come in that timeframe which is why I set my alarm for 5 am. I plan on going back to sleep disappointed tho.
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
im not going to explain the UPS MyChoice thing again..

its simple.. you can set up a address and you can have different names set up on your profile so whenever A TRACKING NUMBER IS MADE WITH THAT ADDRESS AND NAME you will get a email..

it only works if you set up MyChoice before the label has been created
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
I think that might mean Saturday delivery is available for an extra fee.
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
Is it that serious?
[Nexus 4 General] angrymachines:
So if I created my account earlier today, possibly after the label was created, I wouldn't receive an email from UPS? I know that's pretty much what you just said but I want to clarify. I find it odd that I have received zero emails regarding this purchase since the initial receipt. This would also explain everybody else in the same predicament as me.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Don't do it man.. Don't go to sleep in a rage, get proper sleep.
[Nexus 4 General] twayneo:
If you did not get the backordered verification email today. Your phone will ship tommorrow.

i ordered at 8:41 pst

sucks being in limbo.. no idea wth is going on with the order! :(

Thats what they have said. This is the same deal with at&t as well they sure are quick about telling you your not getting your phone for a couple weeks but they screw up the rest. I called them one hour ago. I used to work for att and i know how it goes. I ordered my phone at 8:34:33 according to my order an i have not recieved anything either. Im glad i havent. they will ship tommorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
did anyone's CC get charged and ship out? or is it still pending but the phone is shipped out?
[Nexus 4 General] sroach23:
Wish i received the same order confirmation as everyone else. Mine says that it will be delivered in 3-5 business days, which means it could ship Friday and be delivered Tuesday. Not it will ship immediately and arrive Friday at the latest.
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
i called about my order which still is in processing.

the guy said they were still processing my order.

they said yes people are.

[Nexus 4 General] One3OneKing:
Here's yet another "I called Google Play and spoke to a CSR story"

Just got off the phone with Eric or Erick or Erik (who knows), he kinda seemed like he was trying to rush me which was unlike any of the other people I've talked to. Anywayz, I told him I placed an order, it says shipping Nov. 15 and that I had no shipping email. I omitted the fact that I got a backorder email bc I'm cool like that and figured if it mattered he'd ask, he didn't. He said that they are really behind in sending out emails about shipping to people which would eplain why most people are getting correspondence from UPS before Google. He said they are working throughout the night to send out emails to everyone and they have quite a few to get through. Again he never asked whether or not I had a back order email. Since many people received that email and also ended up getting shipping emails I think there is still hope for many people, obviously not all. I'm not too optimistic as I placed a order at 12:49 Eastern Time. But who knows. Anybody place an order around that time get a shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
Honestly, what does that even mean, "processing"??? Does it mean that some crappy computer is slowly grinding away at these orders, "processing" them one by one? Or is it being done by a bunch of ho-hum Google workers, manually "processing" one at a time? I mean seriously, what does that even mean!?!?! :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] iboj007:
Plenty did.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
At this point it's a lottery.

It doesn't matter when, how, or why you placed an order.

Google randomly picks an order and ships it.

It seems this way anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
The backorder emails could be automated for all we know and with the CSRs just checking your account, they could just be repeating the same sh%^ because that is all they know. Trying to be positive here...Ordered at 2pm est

I ordered the phone at 08:51PST and the bumper at 09:54PST. The phone will be here tomorrow and I haven't gotten any shipping email for the bumper yet.

Limbo Feels like your long time girlfriend planned a great dinner/plans on your birthday night then skipped town the night before huh?
[Nexus 4 General] Ranguvar:
Just talked to a representative who had this to say.

The case right now is the server glitched out from the constant refreshing and Google ended up with far more orders than they had devices.

They said three weeks to be conservative, but the vast majority of people who got a backorder note _are_ on backorder.

Devices are coming into Google in small amounts daily, and we'll see some of the people on backorder get tracking numbers each day.

They are doing this by time ordered, as they did with backorder emails (IN GENERAL).

So since I'm #601 in the table right now, of ~950 or so, I can expect to be after about 2/3rds of people (drat).

Obviously any of this could end up wrong, but he sounded fairly confident.

So this should still apply, just for shipment in the coming days/weeks:

[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
While this seems like a likely scenario, it makes no logical sense that people who ordered within 5 minutes of launch are in limbo. Their actions defy logic, or should we say inactions.

well i just talked to a CSR rep...i did get the backordered email, but i didnt mention it :cool:, he said its all being processed and i should get my phone soon...he did say however that he would email me with the tracking number...we will see how that goes:confused::rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
So I tried the UPS My Choice, but that was a huge waste of time because I'm shipping the phone to my work address (a university) which, because UPS considers it "commercial" it is unable to be added to My Choice. Sucks!

i called customer service and the guy told me that things could go either way. they dont have a clue whats going on... he told me he could tell me what i wanted to hear or tell me the same thing hes told everyone else. basically... im just going to leave it alone. because i dont have tracking yet and i also dont have the back order email yet... unless i get it. n e who.... im just gonna go about things and when it comes it comes....
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I think the same, Some people ordered later and got tracking, some earlier and dont have any. Some got the backorder email and yet theyve received shipping info, and people in limbo ( like me, still says estimate shipping nov 15) dont have any info about their orders.

So true. I haven't gotten the BO email, but haven't gotten anything else since the order confirmation either. At this point I am keeping my fingers crossed but not holding my breath. I'm just glad to have an order in at all, because once orders go live again its going to be another mess... I don't think I could go thru the panic again. I'd have a friggin ulcer.
[Nexus 4 General] OmgitzFire:
I've heard that by making a ups account we may be able to track our phones even tho we still haven't received a shipping email.

A rep did get back to me regarding my pre-ordered status though. She told me yesterday that she would contact a specialist regarding that status.

And this is exactly whats worse about this whole thing, NOBODY knows what the hell is going on, not the customers, not the google CSRs, and now everyone is getting differents answers because to reps have to tell you something.
