[Nexus 4 General] germanj:
Could any of you please tell me what the current delivery estimates are on the 16GB on the Play Store? Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
16GB - 6-7 weeks.

8GB - sold out.
[Nexus 4 General] germanj:
Thanks. Is that US?
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
Dang... Now I'm glad I still got 4-5 weeks :eek: But still... I can't stop checking my email for shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Yes, US. Not available in any other country's Play Store right now.

I got 1-2 weeks and still no shipping confirmation. Many people who ordered around the same time got theirs 2 days ago, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Their delivery is pretty random, but I think after the mayhem and chaos they may abide with the estimated dates we were provided with. Lets see. :D
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Is there anyone here who ordered 2x 16GB on 27th Nov & got a shipping email yet?

Need to know if only people who ordered 2 devices at once are being held back :crying:

& btw i am in 2-3 weeks category with no shipping email yet
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
There are people with 2 devices and who got shipping confirmation, please check around 4-8 pages back..
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Unfortunately You have to expect he worst case scenario if you don't wanna be disappointed cause people will be.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I can tell you that bear has not received his shipping email nor me or Thomas also haven't received any shipping email. Me and Thomas are technically ll2 though. I'm pretty sure ctmeow hasn't either. But I stay in pretty close contact with bear and Thomas and I know for a fact is hasn't shipped for them.
[Nexus 4 General] itpromike:
Are you charged at order time or when it actually ships?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
When It actually ships. Any kind of charge on your card when you order is just to test you card for enough funds to pay for the phone. Those early charges should say

"Pending" and will stay that way till your order ships or after about a week most cards will drop the pending charge.
[Nexus 4 General] shotta35:
Like any purchase the order is authorized at the time of purchase meaning, the full amount is held just to make sure you have the funds in your account. If it doesn't ship in a few days however the funds will be released and be available for other purchases. Google will submit full charge however at the time of shipping which will then show up again online in your credit card info as a pending charge till it's completed.

Similar things happen when you buy gas at the pump but since they don't know how much you'll pump they auth for a $1 charge then once you are complete they submit the full charge to the card.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I ordered within the first 20 mins on the 13th. The UPS truck came by late yesterday... dropped off my Nexus 4 cover, screen protector, and micro sim.....but NO phone....still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Hope the UK one is back in stock soon. Anyone heard any rumours on when they will be available to order in the UK?
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Yes the rumors are for 6th but I think it will be 4th as Google likes TUESDAYS..

Launched Nexus 7 on 17th July in UK (Tuesday)

Nexus 4 and 10 on November 13th (Tuesday)

Restocked again on Tuesday 27th Nov..
[Nexus 4 General] sureshotz:
Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package UPS #xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note that it may take 24 hours for your tracking number to return any information.

Order number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Order date: Nov 27, 2012 12:07:37 PM PST
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Anyone who ordered on the 27th is NOT in limbo.. There was clear direction on the timeframe those phones would ship at the time of purchase.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hey guys just thought Id put this out there as all the people asking for when the bumper is gonna be available on this playstore forum. Here is a bumper available in the us it not a Google bumper but its a bumper and at a insane price though its preorder.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AG0D52O
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Bear, Jeffery and any other 13th limboers up yet? Any updates overnight? I'm pulling for you guys. It pains me to see guys getting their shipping emails from the 27th when there are still OG's in here. Please keep me updated. I will check this thread often until all my OG LL2's and LL3's get theirs.

What really cracked me up is a guy a few pages back said goodbye to limbo when he got his shipping email from his 27th order. Folks, if you ordered on the 27th, and got an "estimated delivery of" time frame, you are not in limbo. You knew at time of ordering that you were basically preordering. Once you get passed your estimated shipping time and still haven't heard anything, then you are in limbo. Be patient young ones. Us OG limboers will guide you through this.

Also, for those of you that ordered in the 1-2 week time frame and are getting shipping emails, congratulations. You will love the phone. What this shipping estimate means to me, since they are in 1 week increments, is that they will be getting more every week. What Google did was give you the latest possible scenario in which you will get your device. I think most of you will get your phone before your estimated shipping time.

Those of you that have shipping estimates, do not email or call Google CSR's until after your estimated shipping time has passed. The reason for this is because these CSR's see the same exact information that you do. THey will tell you it will ship within your estimated delivery time. That's all they know. There call center has been flooded the last couple weeks and it is pointless for you guys to call and be told the same thing you already know, when there are people that need to call because they ordered on the 13th and still haven't heard anything. I know it's hard, but please be patient.

I am not bashing anyone. I am not better than anyone. I am just giving some advice from our experience on the 13th. We've learned a lot and been through it all. We were calling the CSR's day in and day out and it never got anyone ANYWHERE! If for some reason you haven't heard anything by the time your estimated shipping time comes, then I would call and try to get some help.

Also, one more thing. The initial charge on your credit or debit card is only and preauthorization. Google does this to check whether or not the funds are available on the intended payment method. Your bank or Credit provider has a policy on how long these charges can be held against your card. I've seen anywhere from 3 days all the way up to 30 days. Once the time, according to your cards policies has passed, the charges will fall off and the $ will be available again. But, once your order is shipped, Google will fully charge the amount.

Good luck to all and I hope this helps those of you that ordered on the 27th or later.

I ordered that this morning. It's awesome they are the first, but the case will not be in stock until the 30th of Dec. So basically you are preordering it. Just thought I'd point that out to those who are interested.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Exactly. The whole idea behind limbo is that we didn't have any idea what the heck was going on and when (or if) we'd get our orders. When Google's now giving estimates of so many weeks up front, it's not limbo until you've gone past that range without any further communication from Google on your order.

The LL2s and LL3s still here are showing you what limbo's all about; ordering for fulfillment in 1-2 weeks and getting it after 3 days is nothing like that.
[Nexus 4 General] thereisthat:
I just called them to. They guy was super nice and he told me that it would be out at 9am PST and they are expecting to sell out real fast. He talked about how fast it got sold out in Australia.
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
safe to say google cs dont know much or are not willing to tell us much so anything they say can hardly be trusted as fact. I got this yesterday from the cs rep at 5pm in the uk.

Hello Kenneth,

Thank you for contacting Google. It was a pleasure speaking with you today. Just a quick recap, you were inquiring about what time the nexus 4 went on sale.

As discussed, if you put your email address in the notify me section, they will email you once it's available. Also, if you keep refreshing the page after midnight, you will see when it becomes available.

Again, thank you for contacting Google Play, if you have any further questions, feel free to reply back to this email.

Regards,

Sara

The Google Play Support Team

Not the best info given it never went live at midnight
[Nexus 4 General] heliumrepublic:
This is literally what the call went like

"umm....one moment............*puts on hold*.......it'll be opened to order at 9am"

PST?

"one moment.................."

"yes I think so"

This is retarded..
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Safe to say, the first wave of Nexus 4s will be sold on ebay to people in other countries at a markup price. Stupid scalpers.
[Nexus 4 General] ET3RNA4:
So this one also say's midnight...I say we wait it out another 30 min...Let's all pray guys
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
okay if i dont see anything by 3:05, im going to sleep.
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
its the same line, except an hour long wait
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
I hope its midnight and all these idiots that went to bed get pissed off they listened to non-sense on the internet.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
we can hope :(
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Droid:
So 9am EST or 12pm EST for Toronto?
[Nexus 4 General] ET3RNA4:
I can still completely understand why people are pissed, you have 1/2 of the employees who have no freaking idea what is going on, and the other 1/2 are saying Midnight, or 9 PST...fml google make up your dam mind!
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Sweet after party here at 1230.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
12 est
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
9AM PST IS 12 PM (NOON) Eastern Time.

Pacific is 3hours behind the east coast.
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
even if it is 9am PST it stil wont stop me checking every 10 mins up until then!

and at 5pm GMT Im not going to see that phone till friday if I lucky
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
It'll stop me, I got work tomorrow. Luckily the wife will buy it for me at 9 I hope.
[Nexus 4 General] spoonboy:
I'm not sitting here doing anything. I'm on the train to work reading xda as usual. This phone will not sell out, I just do not understand why people think that if they order it the second it comes out, they will get it any quicker.

This is a nexus device, only geeks are in the know.

Google don't have to tell you anything, they said available for pre order on the 13th, nothing else.

They way people are acting here is if this is the next iPhone lol.
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
am i the only one touching my self to the idea of getting nexus 4??????

jk
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Tell that to all the pissed off Australians who didn't get theirs ordered today.
[Nexus 4 General] boogieroc:
This sucks monkey nuts. I'm switching to apple.com and buying an iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] m0h1t:
I got my "Your Google Play Order from Nov 13, 2012 Has Shipped" email about 15 hours ago.

read here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34912260&postcount=32366

How long does it usually take for the phone to deliver after receiving the shipment email? It's shipped to NYC.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Since fulfillment is by UPS in Louisville, most people will get their orders the next day. With getting your notification over the weekend, it'll likely be picked up Monday and be out for delivery on Tuesday. But my order (and many others') got sat on by UPS for 24 hours after getting tracking, so who knows for sure.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Congrats my friend! I can't tell you when you'll get it. I can tell you that once it starts moving, most have seen theirs the next day. I think UPS system si backlogged and is having a hard time keeping up. I have also read about people getting a tracking number and it didn't update until it showed up at their door. Once the shipping label is scanned, it should show and estimated delivery day when you track it. Also, sign up for UPS My Choice and you can get more detailed info on when it will come. They narrowed it down to a 4 hr window for, but keep in mind, especiially through this busy shipping time of year, that the driver could easily get behind and your estimated delivery time be wrong. Good luck my friend and I'm glad you finally are getting your device!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea man nothing from the guys who are active on here. At least that I've heard. Its gonna be Monday I think before we even hear anything. One update I can give people as far as the conference call is Me, Bear, Thomas, and some other guys who's emails, info and order status we offered along with ours well we were promised by our Jedi knight within the death star that we would hear back from him about our order status's yesterday. He promised us after his battle with the Evil Sith lord CSR Chris (aka the biggest liar in CSR history) that he would personally take the time to check our orders and update us. Well you guessed it he must have perished in the battle cause I've heard jack sh*t from him even sent him a email last night.
[Nexus 4 General] joey3002:
I figure Ill add to the huge thread we have going.

I ordered 2 on the 27th. I had to write a script to hammer the "process" button. I love autohotkey... 2 min and the script was clicking on the process button for me.

Anyway, got in at the 1-2 week till delivery however I received the ups tracking info on 12/1

Hoping it ships Monday and at the door on Tuesday. Its time I come back from the iphone bubble I have been living in for the past 1.5 years.

I used to have the HTC Evo, and actually I am the one that made the clear battery doors for it. That was my last android device. The apple kool-aid is tasting like sh*t lately. I miss flashing my roms weekly, listening to the wife saying, why did you upgrade my phone again.. lol

Glad to be back home.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Oh yes that's right. That's awesome man you will love your phone. I'm impatient and got one on CL for a good price I couldn't pass up. But my actual playstore order is the LL2 order. I would be here anyways even if they do ship my phone till we all get what ours I will be here.
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Lol...Thanks for the laugh bro! Well, you can imagine how many emails they are getting. It took 4 days to hear back from my rep. I think you guys should be pushed to the top of the priority list and that Google should do EVERYTHING they can to figure out just what is going on with your orders. There should be some way to get into contact with the people that are actually processing the orders to find out exactly what is happening. The backorder email said 3 weeks. On Tuesday it'll be 3 weeks. You have every right to be angry especially when people that ordered 2 weeks after you are getting their devices shipped. Good luck and I hope you hear back today, but I wouldn't count on anything until tomorrow from that guy because, well, it's the weekend, and maybe he just didn't think about it being the weekend when he told you that.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Enjoy and yes it was ridiculous what everyone had to go through to get a phone. Some got screwed more than others. Even those that tried to order on the 13th for hours but couldn't and had to order on the 27th got screwed. In the end it may be a blessing in disguise that some couldn't order on the 13th though.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Oh he knew it was the weekend he said he was coming in for overtime. Thank you for your support also and you know the saddest part this is that its just us in xda we are hearing about. I bet thousands of orders across the world are just lost in space. But in our case they just make it sound like "resistance is futile" its just insane.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I got mine on the next business day, I suppose it just depends on ups and Google. I wouldn't expect it until 2 businesses data though.
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
At least your phone *should* be delivered faster than mine ;) Sigh, If I had been able to order the phone shortly after the preorder was opened again, I would have belong to the 1-2 weeks group.
[Nexus 4 General] johnxarma:
Anyone knows when the N4 will be on stock again, especially in Australia? Some rumors maybe?
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I got mine next day to Queens, NYC.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
anyday after Dec 21 2012 (if the world does not end then ) ;)
[Nexus 4 General] rootusr:
Hey guys

I going to order both a WiFi only 32gb nexus 7 and 16gb nexus 4, so what would happen in that case, should I get nexus 7 first and nexus 4 early January as shipping times estimates indicates ? Or I would get both in January? I would like to get at least one Christmas gift. What do you guys think?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Order them in 2 separate orders. Im not fully sure though.
[Nexus 4 General] Rspeters:
A lot of you are not going to like this...but I love how the limbo people seem to feel entitled and special. "You're not in limbo, I'm a limbo person", "I'm so mad at the 27th people for getting confirmations already" blah blah blah. Believe it or not, most of the 27th people were there trying to order on the 13th as well, you were just one of the lucky ones to get an order through on the 13th, and now you're unlucky that google has messed up. I was one of those people up at 2am just to find out that the phones actually weren't going to be available until 9am. Then I was there at 8:31 (or whatever it was) right when it became available trying to get an order placed. I tried more or less all day and wasn't able to get one. I finally got my order through on the 27th, so I've been waiting for my confirmation/tracking as well. I've been waiting just as long as you to get a phone, so stop your crying. It sounds like most (note i'm saying "most" here) of you who are still in limbo from the 13th had address or payment issues anyways, so if you fall in that bucket, it's your own fault for not getting your crap right before placing the order. Maybe one reason why you got your order through before the rest of us is because you didn't take the time to make sure you had the right address and CC info in there before clicking ahead. K, I'm done with my rant. Carry on.

Nov. 13th LL3 here i guess im not the last to get da fone lol knowing my luck i thought i would be i got a tracking number the 27th was supposed to be here the 28th but UPS IS A BUNCH OF *#CKING IDIOTS and were pushing my areas packages back for 3 days in a row because of the high delivery demand , even those mine was shipped ups 2 day air (i live in Queens,NYC) so i put it on hold and had to wait on a 3 hours line at a customer center to FINALLY get my N4 on the 30th ive been with it for 2 days and im not even mad anymore fone is phenomenal
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I hope you get yours soon.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Obviously you haven't read anything in this thread most of the limbo people have written. Go back and read some of my most recent posts. Read the whole forum before you start accusing people of things. You are completely wrong about most of us having payment issues you are speaking from ignorance. I'm happy for all of us who get this phone eventually right away or 6 months from now. I've said it from my first post on.
[Nexus 4 General] rootusr:
Thanks man
[Nexus 4 General] Rspeters:
I've read pretty much every page in this thread since about the 10th of November...and what I said is what I have observed. Not speaking from ignorance, maybe just seeing things from a different point of view. Does it suck for you LL3's? Yes, I understand that...but it sucks for the rest of us too.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Not a problem.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Definitely order them separately. See pic below:
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
"Pretty much" well I've read every post and done my best to help everyone no matter what status they have. Some people have been charged not just a pending authorization but charged the full amount and not gotten shipped anything. My order is perfectly fine it has just said preordered since day one. No bo email no shipping this week email no communication at all. All ordered on the 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
We all hope you get yours soon. You show more patience than others in this thread.
[Nexus 4 General] axion101:
My order went through at 12:13p central on November 13th. I got the "payment failed" call Wednesday Nov 28th (they left a voicemail) from Google and an email stating the same. Delete and re-entered CC info and as of Saturday night I have three pending $1 charges on my bank account. I wonder if these are the verification charges by Google. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] rootusr:
Damn, I will to that then

Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] Rspeters:
Now you're getting ridiculous. My point was I'm not someone who just came on, read a page or two, and posted that, I've been following it since well before the phone ever became available.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Problem is, even if on separate orders they may ship at the same time. Maybe 2 searate accounts would be better. I've also heard that since the Nexus 4 is backordered, they won't hold other devices and they will ship separately. Who's to say for sure though. Obviously, Google isn't going to come out with any concrete information.
[Nexus 4 General] gbohm:
for german users:

are you really believing we get it on 12/6 again?

-are you waiting for this or get it when it will get avaible mid december elsewhere?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I feel for everyone that went through this. My comment was just speaking strictly of the technicality of being "in limbo". I feel no more or less entitled than anyone else. Just saying that in the context of this thread, this thread that we are reading, your order placed on the 27th is not in limbo. Period.
[Nexus 4 General] integramodder:
So my story thus far:

Tried to order on launch day...but Google failed epically

Was there at 11:30 on second launch day and finally placed my order around 1 after much frustration with a quoted 1-2 week lead

Received UPS my choice notification at 3 AM that I should get it tomorrow!

Play store order status still has it in pending and the charge on my card is still in pending status.

Caustiously, optimistically stoked....
[Nexus 4 General] KaiserJay:
In the UK, Carphone Warehouse's price for the Nexus 4 has gone down £10. They are really struggling to sell it seeing as it's still £110 over Google's price...
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
What about those of us that HAD CORRECT payment and address information and Google claims we don't? I had the authorization on my credit card at two different times, yet Google claimed I didn't. It was there, it was no fault of my own that there was "a problem charging [my] credit card" I've been using the same credit card in wallet...forever? It worked just fine when I ordered my Nexus 7 pre order which I didn't get until two weeks after people were walking out of stores with them. Maybe you should get your facts straight.

Oh look at that, I placed another order and there's the authorization for it. My credit card/payment method is fine, Google's system is not.
[Nexus 4 General] qortuba:
I placed an order for (2) Nexus 4 (16gb) on Order date: Nov 27, 2012 3:01:30 PM PST.

Estimated Shipping date: 2-3 weeks

Still no tracking number!!

Any idea if anyone purchased it at the same time of my purchase and got the tracking number ? When should i be expecting my tracking number ?
