Gave up

After a week in limbo, I decided to cancel. I decided to take advantage of an ATT upgrade offer. I did the math and Nexus 4 + straight talk with 2 lines vs our our family plan (only $125/mo) was a wash when you calculate in a free upgrade every 18 months.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Hmmm... did you try calling UPS?

( I'm not a big fan of talking to them... 2 of the people I talked to weren't friendly. )
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Why are Canadians getting their phones before us in the U.S.? We are the true Americans! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] ryanbmw51:
So what you got? Note 2?
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Canada Limbo 2's are getting tracking, meaning they're doing it by region? Meaning Limbo 3's are getting postponed. Lame.
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
Y'know, despite the fact that a lot of us are getting out of our various limbo statuses, I still really want to know what happened. I thing Google owes us at least that.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
at&t has the unlocked One X+ which comes with 4.7 HD screen, 64GB internal memory, NVIDIA tegra 3, 1.7GHz quad core processor and is 4G lte for $549 off contract.. not bad
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
If it ships to your address how are you going to do that?
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Ah, yeah, so the One is a line (like Samsung's Galaxy), with varying levels of product spec. The One S is a mid-range device as opposed to the One X at the high end. I think the One V is the low-end model of the line. As far as I'm aware, T-mo's still stuck with just the S while AT&T gets all the One X and variant devices. :( And the large screen is one of the things I'm interested in since I have large hands and need a larger phone for comfort in holding (I'm one of the few who makes calls on their smartphone occasionally :laugh: ).
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
How many phones were left in the facility? Did they miss a pellet or something?
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Got my shipping info last night, was in LIMBO 2

I'm going to get mine today xD
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
+1. It would make for a great story. Maybe after this Google will announce sales numbers and we can get an idea. If they sold 2 million phones then I will understand. If they sold 10.000 and this happened .... well ....:p
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
Yeah, I had a post about quite a few pages back...

Called UPS, they said they had absolutely no information on it, I need to call the shipper to verify that they did send it. Called Google, they had nothing on it, then said they didn't understand why UPS told me to call them, UPS logistics IS the shipper.

So to make a long story short...UPS limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] billbillw:
No, I wanted a free upgrade. Besides, the Note II is too big for my taste. The best deal I was able to get was the HTC One X for me and the wife. I know its not half the phone that the Nexus 4 is, but it is way better than my Atrix 4G.

Because they cost the carrier less than a dollar a each. It's literally a slap of cheap plastic with a printed circuit designed in the 1980s, and they don't even give you as much plastic as they did then.

[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
Did you previously get a Back order email?
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Not bad, other than being crippled to 2G speeds when off Wi-Fi since I'm on T-mo. Having seen how slow things are on 2G, it's not something I'd particularly want to sign up for. I know there's supposed to be changes to T-mobile's network to allow for 3G (at least) in AT&T's band or something, I just can't personally see myself taking that path without it being up and running. Thanks for the tip, though. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
This.

I just called 611, and she offered to sell me one at $20.

I said, nah, how about free?

She said that it was normally $20, but she could offer me a ONE TIME free Micro Sim. I was like wtf.

She reiterated the normal price, the ONE TIME offer a couple more times, then informed me that she put a note on my account, and to walk into a TMO store and have them check the note, upon which they would provide me a free MicroSIM.

Now I just need a phone.
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
LOL, mine missed the flight too. I guess I can wait one more day. At least I'll get it before the holiday.

Shipping confirmation

I just got my shipping confirmation! :victory:

Had been Limbo 2 of a 8:33:04 PST order for one Nexus 4/16 to Canada.

Now as for the service level on this shipment:

My tracking number shows as 1Z7F382V04xxxxxxxx.

Was looking at Acuity's post to decode my tracking but there is no 04 service code. Any ideas how fast it is coming?

Also, I was still charged for shipping. Since today is business day 5 anything after today should qualify for free shipping? Opinions please.
[Nexus 4 General] One3OneKing:
Just got off the phone in what was the longest CSR conversation that I have had (12 minutes). His name was Dylan just incase anybody else gets him. He seemed really nervous. Asked me if I was on backorder which I lied and said no. Immediately he said that my phone shipped(?) I asked if he was basing that off of any specific info in my profile or what, because again I lied. He basically said that Google and UPS are just shipping phones without attaching tracking numbers because they want to get the phones in people's hands and have had way too issues generating tracking numbers for whatever reason and they decided if they are giving one day shipping, not having a tracking number is not that big of a deal. He said he would further my order to a specialist who would personally change my account from it's chargeable" state to a state of "authorized" which would notify ups to ship my phone. I should have said "you just told me my phone shipped." but he was really struggling to explain and stuttering over his words as if he was new. I don't know how much I believe him but it just continues the idea of people getting devices before getting tracking numbers and the reason myChoice UPS did not alert everyone last night.
[Nexus 4 General] sjakub:
I just got a shipment notification with the tracking number (which doesn't work on UPS tracking page yet, but that's normal).

I am in Canada, I placed an order at 11:36 EST and got confirmation email about 20 minutes later.

After the initial confirmation email there were no other emails (so no back order email) - until now. I didn't call or email their support, just waited.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Re-read the comment.
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
I would imagine that if it's not listed, it may mean it's an international shipping code.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I do not know.
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
Weird, I just called them to remove an old feature from my account and when I asked her about getting a microsim for it she said it would be $10 through customer service and that there was also a $10 rebate making it free if they were to send me one. When I asked about getting it from a store tomorrow she said it depends on the store I go to. Yay for more misinformation.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Bah that is ridiculous. I hope it'll somehow show up today. :(

[Nexus 4 General] bryceb04:
Right, UPS ships without tracking numbers. That's a good one. Sometimes I wonder if there's a contest at play store support to get the silliest things repeated on xda. Pretty sure that guy is full of it.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
I talked to him yesterday. He didn't ask me about the BO, but regardless at the time he said that phones were shipping to everybody including BO people. I specifically asked him to confirm that even BO people would get their phone shipped within these couple of days: he said yes. But he also mentioned the UPS having issues with tracking numbers. Bottom line, I would not put any trust on his words, based on what we see happening.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
'Tis the season (for buying all stock and then vastly inflating prices on Ebay).... Phones going for as much as double, bumpers for triple. Craziness. Meanwhile those of us looking to use what we ordered sit and wait. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Shaded:
So I'm in Calgary, Canada. I just received a tracking # 5 min ago after a week of absolutely no communication after my order confirmation. But when I try to put it into UPS website its can't find it.. So I'm playing the waiting game.. yet again.
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
I figure that I've been in limbo for a week, what's another day?

[Nexus 4 General] One3OneKing:
he may be but I'm saying they are shipping them with tracking numbers but they are not taking the time to transmit those numbers to people. We have seen people with labels that were created on Saturday, now getting notifications. It's not a far-fetched idea.
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
Just got my shipping / tracking number. Yippie :)
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
My tracking number took a few hours to return any information but it will soon. No worries. Yours should ship out today or tomorrow morning at the latest and if they're doing next day air for you as well then you should have it very soon. The holiday won't even effect you if it hits Canada before Thursday.

I ordered on the 13th it was 3 separate orders btw,9:52am PST,9:58am PST and 4:26pm PST, but got the BO email.. I called a min ago and told them I wasn't back ordered, he looked in the system and the rep confirmed that I was in fact on BO and it would take 2-4 weeks..

Lvl 3 here.

11/13 10:42 am CST - ordered two16gb N4s. Bank flagged it as possible fraud (aaaarrrgg) and Google immediately canceled the order. Cleared things up and tried again 5 minutes later but my cart borked out every time.

Then it was all over.

12:42 pm CST - randomly tried again and somehow managed to order one.

1:06 pm CST - Finally got the other one ordered.

11/15 - Got the BO email

The two CSRs I talked to basically said: we don't have any specifics, period, be prepared to wait 3 weeks. Both were super nice and super in the dark.

My order/ship by dates have never changed. Wallet never changed, still pending. Sometime last night the pending charges fell off my credit card.

These will be our first Android phones and this is my first experience buying anything from Google or dealing with them directly. If I wasn't so completely fed up with iOS and Apple in general, I'd cancel. This takes the cake for the worst online buying experience I've ever had.

got the sads for real. But still looking forward to life post-iOS
