So this is kind of weird, the package my bumper is coming in is weighing 1.2 lbs, the package my phone is coming in weighs 1.0 lbs. Anyone else's bumper weighing that much? And I thought the phone was 1.1 lbs.?

Okay here goes.. I've been going through 3 topics in this forum... happy to know that many are getting their devices early.. sad that out of all the companies, Google made this mess. But hey they made it possible to get a phone with this Price tag.

I've been reading every single post so far from the 13 th. Nice to see a lot of people helping each other out. One of the best forums I've seen.

Now, to my orders, was unlucky not to have been able to place an order on the 13 th. Got lucky on the 27th. Placed an order @ around 1:55 pm PST for 8GB 4-5 weeks, after a lot of cursing!

Seeing people selling on eBay for that price made no sense, completely opposite of what Google was trying to do, guess that's why they came up with something like a pre-order.

People then got lucky, getting their devices shipped within 3-5weeks, so I tried my luck. Placed an order on 9th Sunday in the evening, but it showed pending. Yesterday, I was able to buy a bumper thanks to "whohas.it". I then cancelled the order made on Sunday coz it was still showing up as pending and after getting a confirmation that my order was cancelled, re-ordered in the afternoon.. and voila I get my shipping confirmation first for the N4 and then for the bumper, both had a tracking but UPS couldn't track it. Today at around 12 pm got a "origin scan" for N4 and at 1:30 pm got an "origin scan" for the bumper case. Called UPS to find more details but they said shipper has uploaded more information and the only info they have is, it'll is shipping by 2nd day air.

Hoping I get my device. If my N4 8GB ships before I can cancel, I'll sell it to anyone interested at the cost+shipping.

munchy_cool, dirtyhamster, bear, u guys have been awesome.. everyone else too.. hope everyone gets their before Christmas. I'll be still reading the forum and will post my updates.. but hey Google loves Tuesdays.. and ordering on a weekday did work.

Order 27 Nov, 8GB status updated to pre-order from pending.

Order 11 Dec, bumper case, status updated to shipped. Tracking # with origin scan but no other details.

Order 11 Dec, 16 GB status updated to shipped, Tracking # with origin scan but no other details.

Yes, I'm on my "durable" cappy, running 4.1.2 thanks to AOCP ROM. Had to uninstall Facebook app and works good.

Hello all!

I have been a long time lurker; first time poster of this thread since the day I ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov 27 @ 8:30pm pst I got quoted 2-3weeks for shipment and everything has been on perfectly on schedule just got my shipping email with tracking number from Google at 2am pst this morning. I also ordered a bumper yesterday when everyone on this thread was like BUMPERS now available; it's suppose to come in tomorrow. My phone on the other hand still has not had a departure scan. I'm hoping by Friday for the phone I cannot wait!

Edit: Just checked tracking as of 2:20 pm pst both phone and bumper coming in tomorrow scheduled for early delivery! Phone apparently missed departure Scan because it has an arrival Scan
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I wondered the same thing... lol

My RMA order went from "Pending" to "Pre-Ordered" but the date didn't change. I am wondering what the hell is going on right now.

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
My bumper is supposed to be delivered today. Even though it seems impossible when I look up the tracking.
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Roxy, aren't you due an RMA unit as well? I'm wondering if maybe they packed the RMA and the bumper together? VERY wishful thinking at this point, but it's the only reason I could think of that something the package is coming in at 1.2 pounds when the phone itself was 1.1 pounds.
[Nexus 4 General] dougiefresh36:
I thought it was a good thing if your order went to "pre-order" status.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Can you make any sense out of this mess? My original 11/13 order changed dates, it now says the 2nd and "pre order", then I have another n4 with today's date that says shipped, but no tracking when I click on it. Makes no sense. But I did get my shipping refund from the 13th today. *twirls finger in the air*
[Nexus 4 General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Have any of the people who ordered the phone a second time in the past week and got shipping notice received the phone yet?
[Nexus 4 General] remister:
My bumper shipment also states 1.2 lbs, I ordered 2 Nexus 4 though. I can wishful think also :)

My order for a 16gb Nexus 4 (Date: December 6, 2012 5:20:38 PM UTC-5) just switched from pending to "pre-ordered" and the date remains as Dec. 6. No emails sent by Google to reflect the status change. Also, today I received my Straight Talk microsim card via FedEx. It was a signature required delivery. Now, I need the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
My December 4th 8Gb has gone from Pending to Pre-ordered. Why is everyone going to pre-ordered now?
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
IDFK. I'm pretty sure it's not a good thing if you're looking to get your device sooner rather than later. Moreover, I don't even know if Google knows what it means. Seems to me like they're flying off the seat of their pants.

Google Employee 1: Hey, so what's the deal with the Nexus 4 orders?

Google Employee 2: IDFK, I thought you knew.

Google Employee 1: Nope. Well.....

Google Employee 2: Yeah... ****.

Google Employee 1: How about we just change from [insert status here] to [insert different status here] to make it look like something's happening?

Google Employee 2: And let someone else figure it out later? Deal.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Omg really? You didn't get a tracking number or anything? Darn.

Order Date: November 27, 2012 5:40:32 PM UTC-8

Got shipping notitification today at 11:02AM CST

Coincidently this shipped after inquiring about my lack of refunded shipping on my Nov 17th order and making sure I still had another one coming for my other line of service.

Tracking Info shows that this one was originally scheduled for delivery 12/14/2012, but now showing for delivery tomorrow by end of day. Shipping out of Louisville, KY like the first one.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
My bumper shows .30 so maybe u r in luck
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
I ordered a 16gb today to see which one ships first.

My play store order shows 3 16gbs that say preordered.

Wallet shows only one of them though.

Should I contact them? Also why does it say preordered?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Omg everybody keeps asking about what pre-ordered means does anybody read any of the previous posts in this forum. Lol

I think it's more being in denial that your order is probably f*cked... Didn't quite a few people that got it changed from the original 13th orders end up having ridiculous problems with their order?
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Rang support, they said that my status changed to pre-order because "pending" meant they we're trying to get an authorisation on the card, and it changed because the authorisation was successful.
[Nexus 4 General] :
So... I ordered that 16GB last night...?

Shipped.

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes me my order was pre-ordered from day one till I canceled it last week. I was technically a ll2 nov13
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
That makes no sence --- They may be feeding you lines again. I was Pre-Ordered for 3 weeks...then last week I was changed to Pending...now I am back to Pre-Ordered. My card had a Pending charge when in Pre-Auth status 4 weeks ago--but it dropped off after a week.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Maybe they putted some 'stones' inside your package :D
[Nexus 4 General] ayamary:
Yes please. US posts are drowning out everyone else's posts so most of the time we're getting next to no relevant information out of this thread at all. I'd make my own thread myself if the mods didn't ban it. It's pretty annoying to have to sift through pages and pages of irrelevant posts just to see one post that may or may not be useful.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I did as one person suggested and asked 3 different people 3 different times what the change in status means and so far 2 out of 3 said it means that Google successfully charged our cards so they are now considered "pre-ordered" instead of simply "payment authorized." They said it means they're preparing to ship and I think their right cause another friend of mine just got a shipping confirm, and another one got a shipping confirm a couple hours ago so it looks like things really are moving. Mine went from pending to preorder then back to pending, they said cause my card declined and they recharge and now its back to preorder. So let's see if they're right.

November 13 OG limbo here. Just got an email that my shipping was refunded. If you guys are still waiting for a refund, ring up Google
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
I really want to call and scream at someone right now, but I won't. It's not the CSRs fault that Google provides them with sh1tty tools and doesn't train them.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
You know I've noticed that people who just ordered have faith that the csr's are telling them some sort of truth. Then u have the OG's and we are all like LIARS... lol
[Nexus 4 General] kal326:
I emailed them about my 17th shipping refund and my 27th order shipped the next day next day air. Still waiting on the refund, but getting my other phone the next day is a nice consolation prize.
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
The only thing in thinking from the new orders is that a lot of them don't understand what 1-2 weeks or 4-5 weeks means. Some of us first batch orders actually had a reason to complain lol

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Phone them up... I just got a refund email. All three decided I order have been refunded shipping
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
I think they're re-assessing all the remaining older orders and trying to put them in order in the system since they, apparently, re-worked their billing/shipping system today. I hope that is indeed the case. If any orders from the 27th get shipped before mine, we'll know it's a load of crap.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Pretty much same as everyone else on the "Pre-Ordered" status. Ordered December 5th, it changed to December 6th, and went from "Pending" to "Pre-Ordered" today. Nothing from Google other than initial confirmation email.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
Mine switched to preordered and now it won't let me cancel.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Every time I call them I start off with "I'm really perturbed, and anything I'm about to say is in no way directed towards you, so please, don't take offense when I start screaming bloody murder". They laugh, I laugh, they say "vent away", they sympathise, I roll my eyes, I reiterate that I'm in no way directing my angst towards them, they sympathise some more, they say the usual blah blah about they will personally see my case get the utmost attention, I roll my eyes some more, then I'm sure they roll their eyes too when I say "save the obligatory "thanks for calling Google support" canned email" and we hung up, they talk about me to their co-workers and I come on here and $itch :)

A quick update on the site in my signature - been live around 20 hours now, and just from you guys at XDA the list is nearly at 200!

If you haven't signed up or know people that had problems with their first orders please ask them to do so, the more who add their name, the more weight we have when dealing with Google. I'm looking to have a copy of the letter that represents the list ready within 24 hours which will make a specific request for a shipping refund because of innacurate / misleading information.

Thanks

Exactly. I was just trying to inject a little humor to break the monotony of "where's my order, where's my order, where's my order" and the frustration that Google has put us all through this holiday season. Thanks so much for commenting in my defense! Thankfully XDA forum has an ignore list feature so when people start getting ignorant I kindly add them to it, life is too short. I've used Android since its inception, I've owned Google phones since the very first G1 hit the market and I've donated very generously to several developers, but the moment I try to inject humor here comes some lame-o taking life way too seriously. Yeah okay....ignore mode.

[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I'm just wondering, how long will you guys wait before you cancel? Seeing 4 of my friends who ordered days and a week after me and have their phones in their hands makes me just so angry at the unfairness that I am pretty much ready to cancel tomorrow. The authorization is supposed to be falling off for the 3rd time tomorrow, so even if they refuse to cancel it I'm gonna tell my bank to refuse anymore authorizations, 3 is ENOUGH. If you have to authorize my card more than 3 times and put my money on hold more than 3 times without actually charging or shipping my stuff then that's just too ridiculous to put up with. Supposedly Bank of America said that when a vendor authorizes the card it allows them to re-auth for up to 4 months. How absolutely retarded is that?
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
I just woke up and saw my order went from Pending to Pre-ordered. What the h now??

Some said that the order is screwed, while some other phoned CSR and said that it's a good thing. I don't know which is correct.

[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I'm starting to think that orders went from "pending" to "pre-ordered" because they want to lock people in and prevent them from canceling since they know full well that people are sick of this sh*t.

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Looks like a mess up to me. Mine is probably jacked too since I'm waiting on both an n4 and an n10. The ten i shipped back says "shipped" AND I received a second "your device has shipped" email after it was confirmed through my choice that the RMA center received my RMA device. The return is what I'm talking about. The replacement n10 and n4 still show up as pending. I hope my n10 doesn't just sit there in limbo because of this. Also the second shipped email is the exact tracking number from when it was sent originally on the 25th with the same info i got when it was delivered. So strange. I might have to call tonight to see what is going on.

If you are a Nov27th Order and can cancel, I would

If you ordered a N4 in late Nov. and it still hasn't shipped yet and you're still able to cancel, I would. Google has left those orders in limbo while people who ordered recently have been given the express treatment (Why?!?!!?)

Here's what happened to me, and the same might happen to you if you cancel and place your order again:

The image is attached.

Also, if you live in a major metro area chances are your package will arrive a day early. UPS is delivering mine tomorrow, ahead of schedule, and 6-7 weeks early based on google's shipping estimates.

If you've been waiting to order or are in limbo, place an order now and chances are it will ship within a few days
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
It's a lottery and you got lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] culexor:
That's really only helpful if you are willing to spend the extra to get the 16gb. A lot of us who ordered on the 27th bought 8gb models. I'd honestly rather wait than pay extra to get it faster. I don't need the extra storage. I stream all of my music from my seedbox via subsonic.
