Order cancelled

After waiting for 2 weeks and then being promised delivery this week, they cancelled my orders.:crying: :crying: The cancellation comment says "PPO Box undeliverable".

I was getting the phones shipped here via a parcel/courier forwarding company and the address of the company has the a "PPO Box #Number" in it.

I called up the play support and they said that they don't deliver to a PO Box, to that I said it's not an actual PO box and somebody will sign for it, to that she said even if someone will sign for it, UPS does not deliver to an address with a PO Box # in it.

FML!!! :mad::mad::mad:

How is everybody else, who is using mail/parcel forwarding firm to ship the phone to their country, getting UPS to ship it to the forwarding company?

A word of advice for you N4 Play Store Ordering newbies.....

(and this is coming from an original LL3 member).

Do NOT listen to anything a CSR may tell you on the phone, in an email, telepathically, ANYTHING. If you read the first 30,000 posts, you will see that there is a myriad of lies told by CSR's just to get you off the phone. They are not here to help, they have no idea what is going on, they can only see what you see in your order page in Google Wallet, and specifically do not trust them on shipping estimates. Everything is a lie or a rumor.

All that being said......

Sit down, relax, hang out here, and grab a cold one (beer, wine, soda, etc.) It may be a long wild ride for you.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
This is by far the worst consumer experience I have had buying any product from any vendor. My phone had been "on vehicle for delivery by end of day" for two days now. I called UPS and they said they have nothing on record for my package and that I should contact the sender. Uh what tracking information did Google send me then? Now i just finished emailing Google for a response. To have our expectations repeatedly unmet is truly distasteful.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I work for the US Post Office. A business like this is called a "CMRA" (Commercial Mail Receiving Agent". Do not put "Box #" in the address. If the address is 123 Smith St Box # 456, just put 123 Smith St #456. UPS will deliver it to the correct store front. And Google will assume it is an apartment number.

Sorry for the noob question but I couldn't find this shipping bot predictor.

I went to my order on wallet.google.com and clicked on 'Contact Google Inc..' but then I was presented with the following 3 options:

I want to check shipping/order status

I want to cancel my order

Email us

Not sure which would give me that shipping estimate.

Thanks..
[Nexus 4 General] wideasleep1:
Yes..this IS a vexing problem!
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Yea but I was thinking more along the lines of 12th or 13th. The 19th is literally the last day of the 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] wideasleep1:
The 'clock' changed around 4ish...1-2 weekers were before 4ish, those after 4ish got 2-3 weekers. Bear in mind some 1-2 weekers may get thier phones on Monday...

googlebot shipping estimate

Ordered a 16gb Nexus4 for wife, got the following confirmation info:

Order date: Nov 27, 2012 2:33:22 PM PST

Estimated Ship: 1-2 weeks

I am impatient so i decided to check the googlebot on the delivery estimate and got the following auto-response:

I had not seen the note about Nexus4 backorders, thats cool...

I was in Limbo Level 2 until i got my nexus4 on 11/21 - I am just hoping the same thing doesnt happen to this order...

They are oviously knockoffs and best of all you need to order minimum 1000. I think we were down to 996. Lol. :p
[Nexus 4 General] mailrachit:
Thanks, that only gives some generic info regarding their shipping procedure. Are we supposed to use "Contact us via email for detailed order status."?

Sorry, I thought it was a interface which would give us the ETA directly.

At least google has godly service...
[Nexus 4 General] klownkillah:
Yes, after the generic info, click "Contact us via email for detailed order status." and fill out the form including the order number and a quick message like looking for an update and then submit the form to get a response from the googlebot.

This 'bot' does not respond to me. Perhaps because I asked it why my order from the 13th has not been shipped, while orders from the 27th have.

It also does not send me anything confirming that I submitted the form. I can barely code, and I can create a form that sends a copy to the one who submits it.

[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
take the date with a grain of salt. It's giving you the latest date possible without being outside of your time frame. Some people with 1-2 week already have their orders shipped. The 12th(I assume you're 1-2 weeks) is the last day of the 2 weeks. Mine is 2-3 weeks so mine ended up being the 19th which is exactly 3 weeks.

Haha, yeah I posted a link to the little cats she bought for her audio port. I have purchased from Alibaba before, in fact it was a carbon fiber bicycle frame that I currently ride as my main road bike.

Sometimes these certainly are fakes because they are not sold buy the licensing company but I think many times they are the same manufacturer that's selling out the back door. I've bought many items from China and the quality has been great and shipping takes from 4 to 10 days.

I would buy the bumpers If I knew or had heard good things about the manufacturer. They are some sellers on there that are just scams and some really good sellers. If Google can't supply a bumper I'm happy to buy from someone else.

Also you can check out Allie Express.

go to your google wallet and click on your nexus 4. Click the contact google link.

It's really pointless to be honest. if you're 1-2 weeks it's going to say dec 12th. 2-3 weeks dec. 19th. 4-5 is Jan 2nd. It just give you the latest possible ship date according to what time frame you fell in when you ordered. They're all wednesdays if you didn't notice because day 1 is the day after you order.

[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
basically the later you order the longer it's going to take. Google decided to set everyone into brackets so it really does become first come first serve this time around unlike the initial launch which we all knew was not the case. The 8 gig is beyond 2 months at this point and the 16 gig is getting close to two months. Not sure how long they're going to stretch things out before it goes back to 3-5 days but if you order be prepared to wait a mighty long time.

There is so many versions of getting a micr sim card and those I have seen are for people that already have a T-mobile account.

What I am trying to do is get a micro sim card for a Nexus 4 with T-mobile using the $10.00 / 30 minute / 90 day pay as you go plan. However I do not and never have had an account with T-mobile and I do not want to port a number, just want to accept the number they assign.

I have read the information at T-mobile and it left me confused. I talked to a person at a T-mobile kiosk and was told to get a micro sim card I would need to pay an activation charge of $19.99.

Can I use the T-mobile micro sim at this link...

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Micro-SIM-Card-Activation-Kit

for $0.99 and get a number from T-mobile that would work for the Nexus 4?

Then to pick a plan how do I get a number? Will I need to use the serial number or IMEI from the phone?

BTW the only cell phone I have used in the past is dumb phones and my current smart/dumb S390g from Tracfone, so I know nothing. This will be my first smart phone. Any help will be appriciated.

Did you finally get your damn device shipped?!

I got my nexus 10 RMA today. Didn't get my shipping email till after it was delivered. Bumper sat in warehouse for 16 hours and will be here Monday with my n4 RMA. I'm really pissed at Google. If you don't get a pristine device in the first go, good freaking luck getting a decent replacement. I'll bet they just ship other returns to RMA people. First I went through SIX nexus 7s and never got a defect free one. They got worse with every RMA. I just gave up. Thinking nexus quality was just an issue on one device I purchased the 10 and the 4. The ten was good but for a spec of bleed and small dimmer band on the camera side of the phone. The 4 has two noticeable spot light bleed areas near the top and a half piss yellow screen.

Back to receiving my n10 RMA. Has the worst light bleed I've ever seen. Looks like an orange spray paint spot on any brightness level. Returning it, keeping the original. Screw the carousel. This 4 better be good or I think I'm just going to move on to a new phone.

Venting, but not getting your shipment isn't the only way Google sucks. They don't do quality control either.
