My order of 12th December has resulted in the phone reaching my hands in Houston in just over 54 hours. No such luck with the one of 27th November which I just cancelled. Appears to me that they don't want to increase the number of dissatisfied customers and are therefore shipping all orders from some cutoff date instantly while catching up on all the older ones as inventories are arriving more briskly now.
[Nexus 4 General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Sorry bro, hope you get your phone soon.

Can any of you who have done recent December orders that have shipped please screenshot your Play Store order page? At this point TWO different CSRs have gotten quite terse with me saying "They've seen no proof of people with December orders shipping before those of us waiting on November orders".

I'd like to be able to point them to a screen shot and tell 'em to STFU and get on it.

Thanks!

Just thought I'd stop by and let you know I received both my Nexus 4! I ordered from the US the 27th of November and I was a 2-3 weeker. It's been fun following the thread although I haven't been posting.. By the way the phones are awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] @127.0.0.1:
Has anyone had this happen when ordering one handset?

Mine shows I have ordered 2?

(checked both pre-orders and both show same order number, checked visa cad and it currently shows a holding charge for one handset and it defo only had one in the cart)
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Finally did it, I posted my first BBB complaint in my entire life. I'm tired of being lied to repeatedly. I know it won't help anything but might as well throw another strike against their record. Screw you Google. 31 days is just too long to wait for an order that said it would be shipped in 3 - 5 business days. I never received a back order notice, and I can't get a straight answer from anyone over phone or email. I'm just about ready to give up, tired of using this flip phone while I wait for my order to get here.

[Nexus 4 General] thevoiceless:
My experience:

Spent 4 hours trying to order on the 27th, finally got through. Shipping in 2-3 weeks.

Got an email from Wallet on the 6th saying that they had attempted to charge my card and it was declined. Called my bank (USAA, whom I trust more than Google to tell me the truth), and they said they have no record of any attempted or declined charge.

"Updated" my info in Wallet without actually changing anything, it says everything is all good. Called twice to confirm it, both times they said I'm good to go. They also said that the declined charge was NOT an attempt to ship the device, just an authorization.

Supposedly my card was authorized successfully 2 days later, but no charge ever showed up (pending or otherwise). Meanwhile, a friend of mine who ordered FOUR devices at the same time I did got them all shipped before my SINGLE one.

Started seeing reports of people ordering on the 7th getting their devices shipped. Waited.

More reports of later orders shipping before earlier ones.

Finally caved today and bought another 16GB, shipping in 6-7 weeks. We'll see which ships first. This time, a pending charge has actually shown up on my card, making me wonder if the failed attempt with the first order somehow pushed it out of line.

Called support to find out why the second order shows up, but not the first. The CSR has no idea. They actually said that. They have no idea why it didn't show up, but the charge has been successfully authorized and apparently they're waiting for UPS to generate a tracking number. I don't really know what that means, since they'd have to actually SHIP it to generate a tracking number.
[Nexus 4 General] jellydroid13:
I just ordered mine today and this is my first n4 order. My betting is i'll get it before all the people that ordered on the 27th LOL.

EDIT: Never mind apparently people in this thread are so fed up that they have no sense of humor anymore.

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Wow really dude. That's messed up
[Nexus 4 General] boondoc:
does anyone know, when you cancel your order does your authorization hold go away immediately or does it still take about a week to die?
[Nexus 4 General] klownkillah:
agreed
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
I did canceled my order a while ago. I was a back order, it should go away immediately.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Dirty the "Dirty Lil hamster episode is on MTV right now. It coming up soon. Lol haha
[Nexus 4 General] remister:
I can't phantom how Google can't distribute information of whomever is still in limbo from 11/13 and 11/27 create a case for them and contact them by email to see if they are still missing their devices and process from that point. And then from that, continue to process orders from that point.I guess from that they don't want to give away free bumpers and refund shipping. Come on Google hire me to be your "shipping" specialist manager.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
No way!!!'I knew the marathon was on, didn't know that one was coming up!!!! Whoot whoot! Thanks cupcake!

My phone was delivered at 9 AM today. The uncertain wait is over! :victory: Good luck to all of you who still haven't received your phones, you'll need it :good: Tomorrow is the time to open the box and check the device for defects.
[Nexus 4 General] xfruan1987:
Just received my phone and think I'll share my experience and hopefully it can be helpful for others.

I ordered on Nov 29 and was a 4-5 weeker. But all these "miracle deliveries" made me impatient. So I registered for another Google account and ordered another phone on Dec 12. Received confirmation email immediately. Two hours later, the Play Store status changed from "pending" to "pre-ordered" and the Wallet shows that "Google Inc. has received your order". This status remained until the morning of Dec 13, when I received a shipping email from Google and a couple of hours later, the UPS tracking number went live. Earlier today, I received my phone :D

Anyway, good luck to all the people still waiting for their phone!
[Nexus 4 General] klownkillah:
Congrats - small word of advice though; maybe open it tonight and let it charge as you sleep...
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
There's nobody in the house to do that :p I'm not going to be there either. Thanks for the advice!
[Nexus 4 General] Ftwisawesome:
Seems like I had to re-order due to some problem :o and claiming my refund in a few days.

So I will delete my old gmail after the refund has come through.

Everything seems to be running smooth as I called up as well for my ordering being placed again.

Money got deducted in a second not charged.

Status is on pre-order at the moment.

And the date of the order is December 14, 2012 2:36:30 PM UTC-8.

Hopefully again I have to say this, I get a shipping confirmation I am friggin so desperate . . .
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Cool man! Happy for you! You successfully got into a magical ordering window and got your device. Poor schlubs like me are stuck in RMA limbo yet again... but still happy for you (Great beer helps the letdown).

Good to see that some people aren't being screwed by Google. :cool:

I guarantee that this thread will hit 40k by the end of the month. Happy to see that most of the original limbo people have had their problems solved and devices delivered. I'm going to be on device number 3 if it ever ships. Was irate yesterday, but some awesome Friday night beer has blunted most of my rancor. Wonder where all my RMA people are at. Has ANYONE from the first week of December received a shipping label by today?
[Nexus 4 General] hmendez787:
Help me guys!!! I f a make another order today I can cancel my order of November 30? Guys do you recommend me to make another order?
[Nexus 4 General] Ftwisawesome:
I ordered on nov 30 and re-ordered hours ago.

I'd say go for it lol.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Why don't you make an order and leave both orders pending? Let the first one ship and cancel the second one before it ships.
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
The thing is when I check orders I seen 2 nexus 16g pre-order, when I click on the transaction I see just one device. I checked my USAA it shows one device.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
It happened to me and many other people. When it ships, it will show just one order. As long as your Google Wallet shows just one order, then you are golden.

Definitely a possibility, or maybe they realized that there are too many order problems and they need to ship previous orders before they take new orders?

16GB now 'sold out' as well..

No more luck & no more magical shipping in less than 24hrs anymore :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Ummm all the tablets are sold out as well?!? Maybe they stopped taking orders for maintenance for a few hours.

I am with you .. same here :) 1-2 weeks 27th Nov.. I get the following reply:

>>>

Hello Rohit,

I receive information from shipping, shipping is currently conducting a thorough investigation with our shipping provider regarding the issue you've reported. I apologize for the inconvenience and will provide an update as soon as I have information to provide. And also that we will refund the shipping cost since we did not meet the time frame for delivery.

Regards,

just useless
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Oh snapper snapper snapper...:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] ven4545:
i think that its good that its finally sold out. at least i wont be screaming at my screen and be pissed at google that much when they ship new orders the very next next day.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
No the Nexus 7 are showing in stock for me well except the 16gb
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Nexus 10 is out of stock as well..

Nexus 7 seems to be there..
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I was debating whether or not to purchase the N10 tonight, I guess my mind was made up for me.
[Nexus 4 General] mahoney1978:
Does anyone know of ANY 8gb models shipping from the 27th Nov - 14th Dec?

And before you ask I have been reading the last 30-40 pages, but could find very little info regarding the 8gb models.

Thanks in advance for any info.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
You need to go back farther, n00b. 40 pages is only the last three days. j/k

I think a week ago some people said their 8GBs shipped, but there weren't many people who said it. Seems like mainly 16GBs shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] boondoc:
and now the 16gb are back to being sold out. maybe they got tired of the multiple orders and cancellations. which puts a damper on my plans. i was going to cancel one of my current ones and put a new order in monday if it hadn't shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I haven't heard anything either. A few days ago I sent an email to the play store and they said it should ship by January 2nd. Yeah, that was helpful. Just the end of the 5 week barrier on my estimated ship dates. I swear I'm so mad that I wont have this thing before Christmas.

/end rant

But seriously, there should be a different thread for 8GB's even though the mods dont want that. Its pointless to have 16GB and 8GB in the same thread because they seem to be shipped at different times, giving some people false hopes that theirs will ship because they dont know which size the person is talking about.
[Nexus 4 General] akashvani:
I contacted Google play support for my Dec 8 16gb order and got reply that I should expect it to be shipped evening of Jan 23. I hope it is Jan of 2013:)

I sent another email asking how some later orders being shipped. They sent me the stock reply saying that they will investigate and get back to me in 24 hours. Not sure if those hours are supposed to be Earth hours:)

Any way I have now plenty of time to ponder if I want this phone or go with S3. May be I should wait till CES in Jan to see what is coming up.

If I stick with N4 then hopefully by the time they ship mine the hardware issues are addressed. I don't want to waste time doing RMA and all.

I have got an excellent article in Harvard Business Review to send to Google. It is about what makes companies successful in long term: it is the customer experience, not just a great product.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
How the heck does January 23rd acquire a happy face?
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
This is all conjecture of course but I'll bet the sold out messages are from a couple things. One, their system is completely borked. If they are fulfilling orders, immediate sales are getting out before older orders. Another reason likely, is that their projected stock and wait times are past an acceptable "week window." Lastly, we are approaching Christmas, and I doubt they want to deal with loads and loads of backlash when UPS has a holiday from shipping and orders that were supposed to ship in a window don't arrive. Oh well... I'm waiting on an N10 RMA as well. Both my N4 and N10 were not in a backorder status according to the support line when I got my replacement orders in. Now however, their line is that they are... but it's been over a week since I got my RMA's in.
[Nexus 4 General] Eric-1987:
They me January 30th
[Nexus 4 General] soldierblue348:
I'm glad they've stopped taking orders, if for no other reason that to stop people reordering a dozen times to try and get ahead of people who have been waiting even longer.
[Nexus 4 General] diggmc:
Because, I ordered Dec3 (ca) and got a 7-8 week wait, so I'm looking at Feb before my 8 weeks are up.

Unless I win the Google lottery. Perhaps, Google could have a little green android track your phone, since Bing is doing Santa

It's been a while since I posted here since I've been having a lot of fun playing with my nexus 4 that actually got shipping randomly when I placed my second order on Dec5th

HOWEVER

My order from the 13th is STILL not here.. I really thought that they were gonna ship it this week.. but alas.. google is still being a ****.

I got fed up this week and tried to simply cancel the order...but they tell me they can't cancel it and I have to wait for shipping to get my money back...

Has anyone been sucessfull in canceling their orders or getting a refund for canceled orders? Im still waiting on my n7 refund too...

Hi,

Thank you for the prompt reply, I am seeing many new orders placed after 27 Nov getting shipped after few days. Should I cancel and reorder ?

heres their reply :

Hi Victor,

Thanks for replying. You will still get your device before Christmas, so I wouldn't worry about cancelling.

Ya me too the same issue and till now no shipping email, I think the pre order status not a good sign :(
[Nexus 4 General] CompletelyNumb:
I ordered Dec 3. It said pending for a week and then went to preorder. An email to them returned saying shipping estimate was Jan 2 :\
[Nexus 4 General] itpromike:
So now that its sold out I wonder what that will do for pre-existing orders?? The way things are going I would t be surprised if they are completely sold out meaning that if you ordered before now they don't even have a Devi e for you either because they've been miracle shipping so many phones to people who ordered after you.
[Nexus 4 General] Psilocin:
I can only hope. Still a long way to Dec 7 16gb orders and looks like they have no plans on bumping up their 8gb production given there has been barely any movement for these Nov 27 8gb orders. Makes wonder why they even bothered to release two models when the difference is only $50. They should have just made the 16gb model and maximized their production on it.
[Nexus 4 General] marcknight:
It took 2 mins after I hit cancel on play store.
[Nexus 4 General] NYCguy2020:
Ebay is the only place to get a Nexus now..That's what I did since I hate waiting for anything.You can get one for around $475 and free 2 day shipping.Just be careful and ask the seller for clear pics of the actual box to be shipped also get the IMEI # so you can verify it with google.

Good luck!

My history :

Ordered 2 (N4 16G) on Nov/29 expected 4-5weeks

After seeing lot of people buying later and getting sooner I tried the google lottery and WIN : ordered 1 other unit Dec/12(on the same account), 15 hours later I got shipping email.

The tracking number only started to work at end of day on UPS site, phone arrived Dec/14.

Ordered an other Dec/13(same account), no more info(still preordered)

Using my wife account ordered on Dec/14, no more info(still pre-ordered)

About cancelling the first order (I just want 2 phones):

Sent the cancelation request at Dec/14 morning only received cancelation e-mail 13hours later.

My google play account has many device purchases that link to the correct wallet orders.

One of the Google Play order as pre-ordered links to the wallet trasaction that have been shipped.

Other Google play order for 2 devices links to the google wallet transaction for one device.

The google play orders are crazy, if you really want to check how many orders you have go to google wallet.
