I'm pretty sure I would start harassing the hell out of customer service. Start the #whereismynexus4 back up until we got some goddamn answers. I really don't think Google would do it, in fact I highly doubt they would, but there's still that slight possibility.

The issue is that they can't backorder the Black Friday rush because most people would rather just cancel than wait that close to Christmas to maybe get their phone on time. So instead of back ordering more people, they'd rather just keep the current people the full 3 week duration and not risk those orders getting canceled.

The huge problem here are those ****ing eBay scalpers that buy the phone so cheap that they can purchase in bulk then sell for the price of a normal unlocked phone have clogged up all the orders with the launch and will probably do it 10 fold when they get back in stock. What Google should do is find a way of stopping this, such as limit to two per customer and research people who order multiple from the same IP. Just an idea, I know it has flaws but it works.

As the leader of the pitchfork committee, I declare def con level 1, get your pitchforks ready gentlemen.

FAQs:

What is an acceptable pitchfork?

We in the pitchfork committee accept all customizations of pitchforks, so if you want to throw on a fancy customization onto your pitchfork feel free. Torchforks, pitchlaunchers and tridents all fall under "customization"

How do I sharpen a pitchfork?

All that matters is that it does as much damage as possible. My favourite method of sharpening is to rub a iPhone 5 on the edge of the pitchfork, this not only sharpens the blade of the pitchfork, but also gets it used to Google hatred.

How do I join the committee?

There is no official requirement to be a member, except for showing up to our angry rabble.

Who can join?

Anyone, quoting WhenBearsReign: "it is difficulty to be the angry rabble, without the rabble"

[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Problem though with pitchforks, is our numbers have dwindled and Google Play knows this, this is most likely why they don't really care about appeasing us right now with any sort of statements or promised dates. It is also another reason why they would not give one rats ass to delaying our devices over new purchasers.

Lucky for you, I wake up at least three times a night to check my phone for an email and if I get a notification, I freak the **** out and reach for my phone. I hit my girlfriend in the face last night by mistake when I got an email. She blames me, I blame Spotify.

What sucks for me, I buy a lot of stuff using Google Wallet on my Nexus. For some reason Google likes to email me letting me know if my Google Wallet purchases.

Same here but every morning I DO wake up to an email from Google, usually from insecure Victor and his survey or a response from an email I sent last week saying "Well if you ordered 11/13 you'll have it tomorrow!"

It's like they are twisting the knife...

I am going by first hand info from 2 different cs. They promised us 3 weeks and it has been over a week which leaves less than 2... I am going by the info on hand and not wild rumors and speculation, guessing, etc.. Thinking the very worst. I am optimistic that we will get our phones with in the promised time or sooner. "With in 3 weeks" was the statement.. that does not mean after and this has been clarified by Google as well.

[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
Relax a little bit. I never said we wouldn't get a phone in 3 weeks, I said that there is a chance Google might sell phones on Friday and ship them first because that is exactly what they did during the nexus 7 crisis. I am basing my answer on past experience, no rumors. You are not basing your argument on anything, did the CSRs (full of BS as they are) tell you that no phones should be sold before you got yours? No they did not.

Yep ... every night when the little one gets up I check to see if Google wanted to be nice ... but that doesn't happen it seems at all.

Even when the little one doesn't wake up... I still wake up. :)

Someday Google will be nice and even reply to my emails I sent them 4 days ago....
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
Rest assured play support will reply to you, the only time frame I can give is 3 weeks until your reply arrives, however rest assured that we are working very hard to ensure timely delivery of your mail.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
I've been in correspondence with Play Support via email for a couple days now and they seem to be returning my emails really quickly tonight.

Finally got my case escalated to a specialist. Will see if it actually leads to anything, but I guess its better then nothing!
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
Let me guess, were you sent an email that tells you your account was stuck in (insert imaginary issue) and you would be escalated to a specialist? Yeah, me too, there is no specialist.
[Nexus 4 General] Elodin:
And the wait continues. Enjoy the day, though.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
No. I've been talking to a representative for awhile and after some prodding got him to transfer my case to a specialist. He told me they would be in contact with me shortly and surprisingly enough, they actually emailed me back telling me that they're reviewing my case and will email me again shortly. They also asked for any additional details :/

Like I said, I doubt anything will come of it, but it certainly can't hurt.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Lol they say that to everyone. Sorry to be a Debby Downer :(
[Nexus 4 General] anarcie:
I was escalated today. 4 emails flip flopping between 3 weeks and tomorrow... I didn't even contact them this week by email. I've given up hope and tell myself n4 doesn't exist.

I've only heard of it happening through people calling, which isn't my case. Granted, your probably right.

I've given up hope of getting my Nexus 4 soon thats' for sure (rep told me they don't have anymore, but that's common knowledge). I just have other reasons my case needs to be looked into because of an error with the site pushing my order acceptance back or some thing.

A special URL? Wooooooooooow. Do share if you get it :p
[Nexus 4 General] ryandesu:
HAHA So this one is CLASSIC:

I received an email bright and early this morning from Google, and of course it was just a copy/paste email. This message they used was from two days ago because it was notifying me that I would receive my device 11/20, obviously I can't receive that **** in the past right? So I email back just to throw some bait out there and say "oh, then why does my status show pending".

Anyways, at like 1:40AM EST I had a response from the same person saying the song and dance of "we're trying to ship these out as fast as possible within 3 weeks but we don't have an exact date yet SUCK MY ****"

So I replied to that pasting the message about the first emailing stating I would receive my device 11/20, and just saying after that "So this statement I received this morning is not true?" This is just to see what kind of response they would give. I expect something canned, but not THIS canned..

So I get an email TWO MINUTES later saying this:

SERIOUSLY? Sincerely, (Name). You can't even put your name in there? I thought this was amusing...

I'll feel really bad if this persons name truly is (Name) though.
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
That is Mr. Jeffrey {Name}.

I have worked with him before. He likes to sign his name as {Name} so he doesn't get confused with Jeff from the mail room.

[Nexus 4 General] Kermee:
Sorry for the late reply. -- I haven't called it in yet because I have already left for the Thanksgiving Holiday and won't be back until late next week and wouldn't of had a chance to drop it off either at UPS or USPS to ship back. (Didn't feel like packing a non-working N4 into my luggage on an extended vacation, find a local USPS or UPS Store, and ship it there).

When I do call, guess we'll find out if they have replacement stock for RMA's and Warranty claims.

Cheers,

Kermee

So I did finally get my Nexus today!. The UPS driver screwed up and went to the wrong apartment which lead to me having to call 2 UPS reps to figure out how to get it before the holiday. Then the local office called me back and said I could schedule a meet with the driver somewhere on his route. I was like cool and they said they'd call me right back. So over an hour goes by and it gets closer to the time they said so I had to call a 3rd rep to get someone to call me back at the local office. They tell me an address to meet him at and that it's a school, I drive by 2 schools looking for the address (Google Maps led me astray and into an apartment complex, but I got lucky and one of the schools was the one I needed to be at) and after waiting for about 10 minutes the driver shows up with my Nexus. Believing that my ordeal was finally done, I head to the T-Mobile store by my job to get a microsim for it only to find out that they were all out of them. So they called to another store where I was finally able to get the sim and FINALLY could enjoy my Nexus!

Your situation is very similar to mine.

Woke up this morning to my UPS tracking number showing "Out For Delivery, scheduled between 1pm-5pm" AWESOME!.. 2 hours later getting a text from UPS MyChoice, "Delivery Re-Scheduled for Today between 3pm-930pm." Okay no problem.. 20 minutes later.. "Rescheduled delivery Monday 11/26 between 1pm-5pm" Alright.. WTF. Get on UPS.com and select to pick it up at Will Call. Getting confirmation I can go pick it up now, I decide to wait 4 hours or so (was in different city) and pick it up... They don't have it, its still on the guys truck that will be out delivering till at least 930-10pm.. GREAT. The lady at the Will Call counter gives me this lady's number and ask her if I could meet the driver in route. Give the lady a call and she says. "Your driver is meeting another driver in 10 minutes at Safeway to help him deliver the rest of his packages for the night, heres the address......" The address given to me was 25 minutes away... FML... So I FLY in my car and get there and only one of the trucks is in the Safeway parking lot... Great I missed one, hopefully this is the one... Go up to the truck and ask him, he doesnt have my package but his buddy should be here any second, and bam the other one shows up. I tell him his dispatcher sent me here to get my package and he rustles through his truck for 10minutes and I FINALLY GOT MY NEXUS 4!!! It seemed like a drug deal in Safeway parking lot with UPS haha. Least thats how I kinda felt.

What a whirlwind that was!

[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
I got an email yesterday. Lance the CSR told me my nexus 4 is backordered and I just have to wait until next week or the week after, then probably they will get the next shipment.

I hope it arrives before my brother comes back to Sweden. This really sucks.

Backordered even though not on BO.
[Nexus 4 General] noodles2224:
Well what a birthday gift for me. Today turkey day that is. Tuesday, I went to a retail store in a mall. Asked the worker there for the phone, "don't have any, don't know until when". Out of nowhere , a friend of mine from little leagues that I haven't seen in like 10yrs, comes out from the back room. He's the retail manager, he heard what I wanted. As she walked away, he said "you want that phone? I'll get you one, we have one in the backroom" brand new everything sealed! :) he hooked me up!!! Out the door for 258.61! With one of my lines having an upgrade. What a birthday gift :)

[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
WAITING...
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Well this is true. From past experience with the nexus 7 there is a special URL for people that are returning a defective device. It allows you to order the device at no charge by actually holding the funds against your card until they receive the defective one back. It takes forever. It's actually a terrible way of doing. I understand why the do it, but it's effin dumb. Especially this time of year. If you have Christmas stuff to buy I would wait because it will be after Christmas until the charge gets put back on your card. They may be doing it different but I don't it.
[Nexus 4 General] ludovicien:
In fact it took less than two days for my replacement to arrive.

[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I hear you, after awhile people trend to cool off and accept reality. I think Google is counting on this.

Still i am optimistic that us back orders will have our devices next week. At least most of us. I am not sure how late orders were being taken so maybe some of the later orders will have to wait another day or two. I an just guessing though but after talking to at least 7 different cs this is what I believe.

I believe orders are shipping daily as they get new stock.

Btw-i worked for the delivery section of a very large company that promises next day delivery. I know when we had very large sales we would not wait for a bulk supply, we would actually get as much stock shipped as we could on a daily basis so at least most got their orders quickly. Who knows though how Google does it..

I can't believe that there ate no google employees speaking up any where anonymously to fill us all in. There have to be many low grade employees that know more than even the cs do. I wish we could hear from them.

I doubt any new orders would ship before our phones. Also I have heard nothing concrete that they will take new orders on Friday, I think these are just rumors. However, if they did open orders on friday I would grab one because you never know which one will ship first.

Also it could be a catch 22 - we order on Friday and remember their rule: peoplle with multiple orders go to the back of the line :p
