Mine just left the last stop before it reaches my local distribution center. Can't wait! Hopefully when I go to the T-Mobile store today after work they will either trim my SIM card or give me a new one.
[Nexus 4 General] Daniel Dumile:
Getting mine tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sorry to go off topic but if anyone needs a cutter (sim card) I got one I dont even use.. don't mind sending it to a N4 user. PM me :)

My 16GB is in commerce city which I believe is also the last stop before it gets on the destination truck! :)

Still no information on my end. :(

I still haven't received an email from Google indicating BO or shipment. I also haven't received an email from UPS My Choice. Limbo :(
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I know how you feel...I'm actually arguing with one of the Google reps right now asking what the hell happened to them sending a tracking number through email. The rep so far told me I should receive it on the evening of the 15th (I live on the West Coast, so it's almost midnight -_-)... Just don't call them like I did because they are just repeating the same thing over and over again (Which is I should receive an email on the 15th...)

If you signed up after the label was created you won't get a notification.

[Nexus 4 General] B97:
UK availability is sold out on play store, the only other places to but it are carphone warehouse on 02 contract and from 02 directly for £400 sim free or £36 a month.

No one is selling it as cheap as the play store and ebay is crazy prices!
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I got that damn BackOrder message yesterday evening after confirming that my order had been shipped earlier that morning over the phone. Anyways I sent google a desperate email and this is what i got back from them.

So I guess if the sunsets today and I dont get any shipping confirmation Im screwed... im guessing the fact that the money has been already returned to my credit card is probably a bad omen.
[Nexus 4 General] llblwskydrgn:
Mine is coming end of day tomorrow :) It was originally scheduled for end of day Monday, so this is a pleasant surprise
[Nexus 4 General] soulz:
If I miss the UPS Shipping tomorrow...

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Wow, lucky you! When did you get your order confirmation. I got mines 20 mins after 8:30PT and I'm still probably not gonna end up with this phone.. Did it really sell out in under 15 mins?
[Nexus 4 General] AntonJart:
Why dont you create free MY UPS Choice account and make it "Hold at will call" and pick it up yourself in the noon?
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
You should change the shipping type to "pick up from UPS location" if you go to UPS website and click on change shipping it should be easy enough. That way you get it when you want.
[Nexus 4 General] AntonJart:
he gotta make my UPS choice account.. They wont let you change it without one until first attempt delivery.

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

What time did you order yours? I ordered mine at 8:36:23 UTC+8. People who ordered hours after me are getting their phone tomorrow. I'm happy for them and all, but it should've been first come first serve.
[Nexus 4 General] soulz:
The closest UPS location is 25 miles away from my location. Even though there's a UPS store, they can't leave it there.

I sign the consent options on my UPS APP on my G-NEX that allows them to leave the package without a signature.

That's an option too for anyone else.

IN ADDITION HOLD AT WILL doesn't allow me to pick it up til Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
8:36:05, so we're really close. im in indy, so pretty close there as well. i was really hoping id wake up with an update...no such luck.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I know right! Do you think it has anything to do with how far from california we are.. I feel like you n I from the midwest got hated on even though we had orders that were right at launch.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
shouldn't...they ship from kentucky. all logic says we should get them sooner, if anything
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
When I called them up Wednesday they said it should ship sometime Thursday or Friday...if it goes into the weekend then :(
[Nexus 4 General] jacobfogg:
I'm not backorded...

On with the rep, he is confirming that I am not backordered, although I still do not have a shipping confirmation. My order time was 8:44:25 AM PST.

Oh hold hoping for something more here...

Everything is going fine with my order. "It's at the very end of the processing stage." Now word yet on when it will actually go though though...

Here is the email they just sent me. My guess, based on the snippets that I have read here and there, is that I am not the first reporting this.....

to me

Hello Jacob,

Thank you for contacting Google!

Unless you receive an email with subject “An update on your Nexus 4 Google Play order”, your order is not affected. And you should be receiving a shipping confirmation soon.

"Within 3 weeks" is the only guidance I can provide at this time. I’ll only know the scheduled delivery date when you receive an email notification that your order has shipped.

If you have anymore questions please reply.

Thank you,

Joey

Google Play Team

Nexus users on xda are some of the most loyal android users. This sucks and its worst its happening to us.

I've gotten no emails since my receipt . I was told I wasn't backordered but I have zero faith in the CSR. Stop playing games either ship it or let me know I'm back ordered
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
No, because people as far East as NY got their tracking info. You know what's an even bigger joke? People in NY who ordered hours after us got their tracking info too. This was just a complete disaster. I'd say that Google should give us a discount, but honestly, that's not even worth the three weeks anymore. Even if they were to give me the phone for free, I'd still be upset. I can't even buy it from Tmobile, because they're all sold out. I also sold my phone and have nothing until whenever the morons at Google decide to send me my phone. A lot of people seem to think that it was stupid to sell my Gnex prior to getting my new phone, but I honestly did not expect one of the largest companies in the world to **** up this badly. Especially not when they were supposed to learn their lesson just a few months ago with the Nex 7 :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:
New York is on the East coast, not the west coast
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Oops...that's what I meant. He asked if it's because we are far from California, and I was pointing out that people even further *East* have received shipping info. I'll edit that. Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
Venting of frustration ahead. Look out.

The most irritating thing about all this is that the orders aren't being filled in order. I ordered my single 16GB, no bumper, box left ticked, at 8.32 PST and the transaction went smooth as a breeze, got the confirmation email at 8.34, everything looked fine.

Now it's Friday and I haven't heard a peep, while there are **** loads of people getting theirs tomorrow who ordered later, with no explanation or obvious pattern to it. People even in the same city as me who ordered later who are happily expecting delivery tomorrow.

If we don't eventually get a reason for this or some sort of explanation it will leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. This shouldn't have happened. Especially after the same thing happened with the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 4 General] Lil Jones:
I do agree with you. I would just like to here some one from google give us a apology and a few answers. I want this as compensation.

[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
well I have been one of the patience ones, and waited for tracking email or anything email stating BO or shipped and nothing, ordered 11:45am est, I just called google, and she looked into my order and everything is fine she said, but now I`m being told it might ship today, not yesterday, wtf, she sent a email to me, so if I don`t recieve the tracking info today, she told me to reply to that email and she will look deeper into my order and find out why it hasn`t shipped. way go google, first time buying a nexus on launch day and will never again:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] nazzza:
google is playing with my credit card.

They put money on hold on 11/13

they put again money on hold on 11/15

and as now there are no longer pending charges for google.

I'm looking for a note II
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Im going to go out on the limb here and say that googleplay reps have no idea wtf is going on either. I will just speculate that if you don't get your shipping confirmation by saturday you have been f^&@ed.
[Nexus 4 General] xxnoelziexx:
So it looks like google sold out and started doing preorders/backorders cheeky cheeky. I have decided to not wait for the next batch and go straight to o2 and pay the extra.

Yes its a bit more but waiting for it all to kick off again (no thanks). The total lack of information from google makes me think I will never order from the playstore!

They need to secure all the preorders/backorders, faulty devices and all the incorrect models people have got 8gb/16gb. I wish you all luck and hope yours arrive soon rather later.

Google should have issued a statement days ago they should have learnt from the last time.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Anyone from the UK with back order emails have any news updates?
[Nexus 4 General] Absent Crysis:
Nope, I'm in California, ordered a 16GB N4 at 8:34:47 AM PST, and I haven't even received a receipt from google wallet. Nothing, zero, zip, nada. Googly play STILL says that shipping estimate is Nov 15. I'm scared that my order somehow slipped through the cracks of their crashing servers :(
[Nexus 4 General] UberSlackr:
There has to be something wrong with the Ordering System...

I Ordered 1 Nexus 7 w/3G first (as they were launched first.. don't think many people saw that) and Have yet to receive any shipping information, or BO email.. AND the Nexus 7/3G is list as "IN STOCK"... yet has not been shipped..

Ordered 2 Nexus 4 32GB shortly after the Nexus 7, and within 20-30min of the Launch time, and received a BO email even though the money is gone out of my account.. Its not "Pending" or "On Hold," Bank verified that the funds have been transferred. Yet I have not received any Tracking Emails or emails saying its shipped.

And Google Customer Service is extremely Useless like always.. And the Tard I spoke to has never heard of XDA (at least claims he has not)
[Nexus 4 General] damayor521:
I just got off the phone with the Google CSR. He told me that my order is in a "Chargeable" state. He said that it was a good thing that I didn't get the backorder email. If I don't get a tracking number by this weekend, he said that I should contact them to follow up.

I ordered a 16GB and a Bumper on 8:36:10 AM PST. I haven't received an order confirmation or a backorder email. My status on G.Play still shows "Shipping estimate, November 15, 2012" and on G.Wallet shows Pending. My bank statement still shows a purchase authorization for my order.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
I'm in the same boat. I ordered the 16GB and bumper at 11:43 EST and the CSR told me my order was "fine" and it should be sent out in tomorrows shipment which means today in my case. He basically said "no news is good news" :eek:

Mine is the same situation.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
whats making me really angry is that a lot of people got the phone delivered just to place it on ebay to make profit. we ourselves who really want to have one to keep it got backordered.
[Nexus 4 General] clewsr:
Well I just got my Micro Sim from Virgin! What a relief that wont hold up things.....apparently I've got 30 days to activate the new sim, c'mon Google, can you manage that?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Are the giving refunds to back ordered people ?
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
only if u cancel your order
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
I believe they are but only if you cancel your order.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
I'm on the east coast and my account says the same thing, shipping nov. 15th
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
there are a few on ebay for 450 i might just bite the bullet if i dont get shipping info
[Nexus 4 General] Unclean009:
Be careful with those. The people listing those might be in the same boat as us but put their listing up before they actually have the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] phantomevo77:
I too ordered a 16gb and bumper. Called Google and they told me if I don't get an email by Tuesday with shipping status that my order is on a 3 week hold. (Back ordered?). I had a pending charge in my Chase account and now I don't have anything from Google in my account and the funds have been released back into my account.. I'm really tempted to go buy one from the T-Mobile store tomorrow and say screw it. But I know... Patience is the key....

I hope I get some kind of email tomorrow from Google. Hopefully they did the phone only orders first and now they are moving on to the phone with bumper...

One can hope right???:D
[Nexus 4 General] clewsr:
I don't think payment is taken until actual shipping, so no refunds required, I'd have thought.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
Right, like many have mentioned a pre order system or a tight 1st day order limit could have stopped that.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
and i'd suggest NOT to encourage those people by buying from them :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
Please don't do that, that's the apple fanboi answer. Not to mention you're supporting the scalpers.
[Nexus 4 General] liam6576:
I missed out on ordering as the website messed up like it did for everyone else, my friend accidentally ordered two and is selling one to me, he just got shipping information and they have been shipped (some time around last like or this morning between 11pm-8am)

there's still hope for those who ordered more than two.

UK by the way.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Believe me i don't want to i just hate waiting and sitting around feeling F'd over by Google.

I have a friend that works at T Mo maybe i will see what type of prices they get buying off contract
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
Did he get his shipping info after a BO email?
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
You're right. The funds have been released back into my account as well. I wish that didn't happen because it'll throw me off during the month since I had set that money aside just for this purchase and now my wife may spend it :(
[Nexus 4 General] liam6576:
I don't think he got a BO email, he did however get no progress update unless he called the play store, i guess all you can do is call the play store and hope
[Nexus 4 General] Absent Crysis:
This is by far the WORST experience I've had with trying to purchase a product. I know that it's been said on this thread 10,000 times (literally haha) but holy crap, Google did an absolutely horrible job with this. And i know the CSR's don't know practically anything so it's not the poor ****er's faults but GOOG needs to get their ****ing **** together. This is pretty unprofessional for anyone to pull, let alone a fortune 500 company.

and google, Y U NO HAVE PREORDER WORKING?!?!?
[Nexus 4 General] gary1203:
This thread is so quiet :/ And a couples hours ago we thought we'd be hearing about new shipping email about now.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
they started up around 3am yesterday
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
HOLY F**K. I'm one of the limboers. Haven't received backorder email. Haven't received s**t actually. ONE device ordered (16GB N4). Order went through at 838 PST. NOW the pending charge is no longer in my account!!! >:(

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

Now pending again...... F**K are they doing o_O
[Nexus 4 General] drspine:
I got the BO email. It still says pending in play store and wallet and the hold is still on my bank account...

Called csr yesterday and they said I should still be receiving my tracking number soon.

Anyone else in the same boat ?
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
yeah.. I'm in the same boat.

Pending in wallet, shipping estimate of 15th November in play store :eek: and a backorder email received.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
looks like I'm getting NOTHING now. Those bastards intercepted my package still after I told them not to. The money has already been drawn from my account too.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
The CSR told me if the charge is dropped by the bank it will be put back. That way when its ready to be shipped thet can charge you
[Nexus 4 General] archangel25:
I am getting mine today. Its already in Louisville KY and I am in Cincinnati OH.

I have already took a day off and will get a micro sim today to give my N4 a spin.

:)

Sent from my myTouch 4g
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
Agreed. I'm tired of this already. Here's my story...

1st I take a 3 hour nap knowing I may not sleep trying to purchase this. I get up before 12 midnight (EST) and nothing. 3am comes and nothing. I decide I might as well stay up and watch some Dr. Who because I have to get up in an hour and a half anyway and monitor the site.

I get word that it's going live a 12pm EST but still check periodically because I had the feeling they were going to release early. I check the site at 11:33 and saw add to cart (my gut feeling was right) and I battle with the ordering system for 10 minutes before getting my order through at 11:43. I get happy because I was able to snag what I wanted, the 16GB nexus 4 and bumper case. Mission accomplished or so i thought.

The following morning I get an email that my order was flagged for multiple items. I'm like "huh it's one phone and a case?" So I reply back at 5am telling them I meant to order that and it wasn't a mistake. The CSR tells me all is good and I should hopefully receive my tracking number soon.

Well 2 more days have gone by and I haven't heard a thing. I call and they say my order is fine but it seems my payment has been put back into my account? I've got to say this is the worse 4 days of my life. If it wasn't that I was using an old Nexus one because I sold my good phone when this order went though I wouldn't care so much. But it seems Google has left us all high and dry with no answers. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
OMG so I cancelled the damn 16 gig order last night due to the whole backorder and was just going to take the 8 gig and be happy with it but now I'm getting nothing! Now I have to wait till it comes back it stock to get the damn thing! This is my worst online purchasing experience I've ever had in my life!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
My bank shows confirmed transfer date of nov 13. Not pending any more. Completed successfully. But I have got no emails. It says expected shipping day 15 like everyone else. Ordered 833 pst. Us Oregon... Sucks... I keep hoping it will be at my door sometime today anyways...
[Nexus 4 General] su9062:
Same here, bank funds are released. But my playstore and gogle wallet says status as "complete". I am not sure if I want this phone anymore after all this. I was almost on the wall about LTE. I live in Vegas and AT&T hsdpa is not very appealing with the other users running LTE phones sitting next to me. :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
i live in vegas aswell. T Mobile is decent and has gotten alot better. Maybe you should look into them atleast that way you are capable of max speeds
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
About to turn in for the night so that I have plenty of energy tomorrow when my Nexus 4 arrives. I have a whole day scheduled with it.

1. I'm going to plug it up and give it a good charge while I read the owners manual to it to keep it nice and soothed.

2. Then we're gonna go on a walk outside together so I can show it it's new neighborhood.

3. We'll sit down and have a bite to eat together while I tell it about how jelly people will be about us being together, and that I don't care what everyone thinks, cause it's about my happiness, not theirs!

4. Explicit activities here (scheduled for 1 hour, but really will take only a minute).

5. Then I'll hop in the shower while Nexus 4 sings me a song or two streamed from my Google Music account.

6. More explicit activities.

7. We'll sit down and talk about how terribad my old phone is while pointing and laughing at it as it sits in a corner near the trash can.

8. Later, we'll sit down and finally confess our love for one another which will lead into more of 4 and 6...

That's all I can think of for now. If anyone else has some good ideas for activities, feel free to post em.

STILL ****ING NOTHING. I really really hope that some consumer protection group sues Google for Billions of dollars so they can learn a ****ing lesson. Now I see, just as others have noted, that the funds have been released and I have no more pending charges from Google in my account. Google wallet still shows the pending charge, and I still ****ing have "Est shipping: nov 15" IT'S THE 16TH ALREADY, YOU MORONS. No emails. Nothing new at all, actually.

This thread has grown exponentially since I left for work this afternoon. I kept checking my email all day for the backorder email but it never came. I also never got a tracking number. My order status did change from pre-ordered to estimated shipping 11/15 which is now in the past and no shipping confirmation so I'm just gonna hope I wake up to find a shipping confirmation email or maybe a UPS man knocking on my door with my phone. I ordered at 8:36 PST BTW.

its already late, way past the due date for shipping, and it still didnt ship or i didnt get an email or alert. i already emailed support about my order status. i ordered 2x 16gb N4s at 8:34am PST. what a disappointment google...

on top of that, i received no confirmation email about my order, and my CC is apparently still pending, i have no clue. it still give the est. ship date on Nov. 15, which again, is past that
