I am sure this must have been asked a hundred times on this thread but please pardon my impatience...

I ordered my N4 on Nov 28 9.30 am PT, have not heard from Google yet apart from order details email mentioning shipping time as 4-5 weeks.

Would like to know if anybody has received any communication for the same order time & date.
[Nexus 4 General] smarki:
Same here. 28th order, shipping time is 4-5 weeks- and nothing yet. Lets at least hope they ship it before the estimated time passes :/
[Nexus 4 General] ryan_chandl:
I cancelled my first order on 28 Nov and reordered on 8 Dec, got my phone on 17 Dec. I guess those ordered in Nov will get their phones soon as Google stop receiving new order.
[Nexus 4 General] vivek310:
Ordered at 11:40 PM PT on the 27th of Nov. No change until today - the credit card authorization has been removed. This is when the phone ships and the card is charged right?
[Nexus 4 General] sububack:
Not really, but nobody can guess on Google.

While, they have sent device even without charging the card, and also have shipped 2xN4 16GB instead of (1xN4 16GB and 1xN4 8GB) but charged only for this 1x16GB and 1x8GB

However, hope for shipping to resume post xmas/New Year.
[Nexus 4 General] Doggeh:
Yeah, same exact situation. I have a December 6 pre-order as well. I have no idea what happened on the 6th of this month..
[Nexus 4 General] shankesh:
Guys just enjoy the Christmas.....don't be in the thought of nexus....we'll surely get it next year..hope our newly manufactured devices will have no defects...like screen yellow tone and rattling sound in speakers.....Just think in positive way...

By the way

:::: Advance Christmas Wishes to you all pals ::::
[Nexus 4 General] connect_ammo:
but this isn't right, how can Google jumble the order sequence and send the phone to who ordered later to Nov.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Seriously Google...

Please just open the store up for Australian's again....even if its for preorder...
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
And create more batches of limbo-ers... They can't even fulfill my order since Nov 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm with you Deeco this is seriously getting f ed up on your side of the pond for u. Wish there was something I could do. :( All these people complaining when there estimated shipping date hasn't even come close and we have an OG here whose estimated date was Nov 16-18 just has to be disheartening.
[Nexus 4 General] Doggeh:
It was weird, the email itself changed the timeframe. No new emails, no notifications, and now it's still 7-8 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
FYI I ordered on Nov 13th my order said pre ordered from day one all the way till I received my order in the 2nd week in Dec. Google play is one big ass glitch. I would focus your attention on Google wallet not Google play. My brothers said pending and he ordered Nov 13 and had his 2 weeks later.
[Nexus 4 General] K3lthuzad:
In Australia, the first batch sold out in 20 minutes. And there's been no word of a second batch. :(

Just be glad that all your Nexus 4's are coming. :/
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
Google is the Giant...

They can screw this up because they are Google.

The only thing that means anything is when you get shipping

confirmation and a tracking number. Until then you are wasting

your time fretting over it. That is what I have learned since ordering

on Nov 28th. The will ship in any order they want to anyone they want

at any time they want and not feel any obligation to explain their

actions to anyone. It is that simple.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibbus:
One thing that irritates me is that these phones went on sale for only a few minutes at a time and those that genuinely wanted one to own and keep were unable to get them yet (got lucky and ordered on Dec 3 in Canada). But still there are tons of these phones floating around RFD, ebay, Craigslist or Kijiji while we still wait patiently to have our phones even shipped out :(

I even placed 3 separate orders (1 Canada and 2 US) with none of them shipping out yet. I just need one phone (originally wanted the ultra-rare 8gb version), but if I get those spare 2 phones as well I will sell them with $50 profit each to compensate for the frustration that this whole situation has been causing me for the past 1 month and 10 days (and still counting...).
[Nexus 4 General] vivek310:
Bah! another month, CES will be done and we'll all be on next generation hardware. How many of you think you'll receive your nexus 4 before the nexus 5 (or what ever it's going to be called) is announced :D ?

seriously, WTF! it's a month now, I'll give it another week and just cancel! let them sort out the hardware issues and their supply chain first.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
So if you sell the two phones for a profit when you get them, then you are the same type of person that irritates you. How does it feel to irritate yourself? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Oh so you are saying that when you ordered it said one thing and when you received the receipt email it had increased? I see.

Seems like you must have been right on the edge of the shipping time change.

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Sounds about right! *sigh* I wonder how much of a fiasco it will be when Google Glass is released near a year from now.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
So agreed hey Pasian come join the Off topic Thread.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr Ian B:
Ordered December 8th and have 6-7 week waiting period. Now, down to five weeks. I have never seen a company with the biggest search engine have such a horrible sale that their servers could not handle. If you are trying to compete w apple, this can not happen. I am sure Apple has larger preorder numbers and you don't see their servers crash, orders lost and phones available at launch in limited quantities. If this happened at Apple, someone or several people would have been fired along with a statement from Apple. Where is Google's public response to this debacle twice as if they did not learn from the first time the phone went on sale. People getting their phones order after me don't make sense when people from day one and November still do not have their phones yet. WOW!!!!!!!

I picked up a Nexus 4 from a Tmobile local store to try out and the phone is amazing. I don't like their contracts and will take phone back after a week and continue using my flip phone w Straight Talk till my phone comes in from Google in late January.

Merry Christmas everyone.

[Nexus 4 General] Doggeh:
I emailed customer service and they told me my devices won't be shipping until January 23. Even though I placed my order on the 27th... Then they jerked me around a bit.
[Nexus 4 General] KCuadrado:
You do know of prorrated charges right? They Will charge You depending on the days of use after you return the phone.

Anyway, I ordered on Dec. 7th, we are supposed to get our orders shipped by January 20th more or less :P
[Nexus 4 General] Doggeh:
How do you know this?
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
He's a responsible adult. That's how he knows this. Prorated charges are common business practices. You think any telecom company will just let you make calls and texts for a week for free?
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
And... how long did it say it would take when you ordered your device?
[Nexus 4 General] KCuadrado:
I work at an authorized dealer which has T-Mobile and ATT :)
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I hope you're a 7-8 weeker (from nov 27th ish) or else Google is gonna hear me flip 24 sh!ts for not getting my phone before January 2nd.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr Ian B:
Thanks boricua. I am from Ponce but been living in Texas over 30 years. Yeah, I know of prorated charges and $50 restocking fee. Using a 3d glasses pouch to carry phone and not have scratches. Overall like the phone and can't wait to get it for $350 plus ttl. Hate Tmobile pricing structure but signal was good and great in some areas. Using AT&T Straight Talk now and also good signal.

[Nexus 4 General] Gibbus:
I understand what you are saying. The thing that dragged me towards this phone was its price. The $299 price tag, not so much CAD$359. My intention was to purchase the 8GB phone but that ended up as too long of a wait or not available at all. I never wanted to order from the US store but they sold out so fast in Canada on Nov 13 with no further stock in sight so I decided to order from US on Nov 28 and at least have my name on the waiting list. Then they came back to "stock" on Dec 3 in Canada so I ordered another one with the intention of cancelling the other order after my first order would ship. After that I read about people from the US store getting their late orders shipped immediately, so I ordered one on Dec 7 hoping I might luck out. I didn't. Now I have three "pre-orders" and no shipping email yet.

My original intention was to get a $300-$350 phone out the door as it was advertised at $299. Now this is very unlikely unless I sell 2 phones for small profit and keep the third one.

My original intention was never to scalp people but I am just fed up with the whole situation that I deserve something as compensation, at least $100, and I'm not going to get it from Google. I plan to sell my phones for $450-470 which is still pretty reasonable IMO, since I will have to pay for shipping from google store twice + mail forwading fees (Shipito fees, could be up to $20-30), and shipping fees $30-40, as well as taxes when the phones come to Canada and $10 DHL brokerage fee).
[Nexus 4 General] AndreaCristiano:
So does anyone know if there is a projection for when restocking will happen or should those of us who haven't ordered just wait for nexus 5?

[Nexus 4 General] stejc:
8GB sold out in the UK now too. Really takes the piss ive been on since 8:15 refreshing and only getting so far with the checkout each and every time first with 16 and then with 8 and now all gone.

Both 8 and 16gb versions no longer available in UK Pay Store. 'Coming Soon' back up.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Next month.???
[Nexus 4 General] funeralthirst:
gotta laugh at 'why is it available in europe first?' comments. just cause they can order it first doesn't necessarily mean they get it first... it's not like we're standing outside stores (though, it would be hilarious if some very misguided people were...), we all have to wait for shipping.

[Nexus 4 General] krohme:
I just don't understand how these companies do business..

you make all this noise about the nexus 4, its slim, its fast, it can fly you to the moon, it can predict the future and all that bull crap but when we sit down for ages - card in hand ready to purchase - you only sell a handful???? WTF man?

Seriously rubbed me up the wrong way google - please fix up. Is this a selling technique to make me gag for it?? forget that shi% I'm not bothered.

The most basic thing is to have a huge stock the 1st time round so the majority will purchase the handset - epic fail. Oh well, still enjoying the HOX so might skip on this nexus dream band wagon.

don't have a phone right now as I thought Google would not mess up the ordering process.

I wonder if google will put another batch up for sale throughout the day? As to stagger the orders for ease of processing etc...

Thats a hope im clinging onto at the moment!
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Ah well. This sucks. I'm on the phone to google, so maybe I can order through that, since I did technically order, but it failed.

It's likely that I'm screwed though.

[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Ask anyone who preordered the N7, nobody makes a mess of a product launch like Google.

These brainiacs will have their call centre get hammered for hours instead of just releasing a simple piece of information like, I don't know, when the thing will actually be on sale. It's madness, once again you have to wonder who is sitting in an office thinking 'yes this is they way I want it to go' and what has gone so wrong with their mind.

[Nexus 4 General] connect_ammo:
seriously, this is no fun. For ordering on 27th you must have got shipping time of 3-4 weeks. Google & LG have some serious production & supply chain management issues. Above all their communication standard is not at all good.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
I think shipping for the 8gb made it atleast all the way to 6-7 weeks on the 27th. I was at 4-5 weeks only 3hrs after ordering began and ordering did continue all day.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibbus:
Did you order the 8GB version? What was the estimated shipping time when you ordered?
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
Not sure we can trust their bs...cuz when i emailed them about my dec 6th 6-7 week order they said it should ship in the 1st week of jan which is a couple weeks earlier :P...obviously i had a good laugh when i read this :p

i wouldn't say "love" per se.. more along the lines of I kinda liked them until they took my $800 dollars for 2 phones and have been holding it ransom and not given me any update.

Sick of the wait, ordered two 16GB on the 2nd Dec and another 2 on the 3rd Dec and its still just pending. Have managed to purchased four new Xiaomi Mi-2 which is cheaper and running MIUI, so I will be cancel my order!

Looks bad for me too then, I'm also in Boca and ordered mine Dec. 9th 6-7 weeks. got the confirmation e-mail and that's it. e-mailed Google and they said that it will ship by Jan. 23rd evening, but that that was only an estimate based on the order process date.:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

I think this is right. People that ordered them on December 8th have been getting them. I'm the only 27ther i know of that has a 7-8 week waiting time.
[Nexus 4 General] blizzardofoz:
Yea I just checked mine and the same thing happen. I sent an email to google asking about shipping and my quoted ship date is no longer Jan 2nd but Jan 30th.

I think this may be the nail in the coffin. I've gone a month and a half without a decent phone and now to ask me to wait another full month is a bit much.
[Nexus 4 General] rcazador:
Very worrying. When did you get this second email changing the ship estimate to 7-8 weeks? Right after the order or now? I'm also in 27th, 4-5 week, 8GB limbo. It changed to preorder 6th Dec then no news?

@blizzardofoz, Did you get an email saying that your deadline was moved to 7-8 weeks or did they keep quite till you asked them?

[Nexus 4 General] rcazador:
Thanks for the info. God google is playing this one rough.
[Nexus 4 General] blizzardofoz:
There was no second email. You can email google and ask about a ship date. You get an automated response based on your shipping estimate (4-5 weeks or 6-7 weeks). I emailed them last week and my estimated ship date was Jan 2. Now its Jan 30.

They didn't' notify me of any changes. I had to go out of my way to find out myself.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
For all of you with changes to your shipping estimates, could you please provide some details on when you ordered specifically. i.e. Time, date and 8/16gb.

Well think of the upside, changes to already sent emails cannot be done on mass, and so you've gotten personal attention from Google! That is more than most of can say, even if it was not a good thing for you.
[Nexus 4 General] Tweezydak1d:
Ordered the 29th was given 4-5 weeks. Hopefully this week
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
That's freaky. How is it even possible?! :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] blizzardofoz:
It looks like the changes to people's shipping estimates are for 8GB orders. I know mine is and everything else I read here has been for the 8GB.

Further evidence that google's 8GB stock must be non-existent.

Has anyone actually spoken to google about this change in shipping estimate?

Put 80% of the blame on LG not google.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Yes because LG were the ones that mailed phones completely out of order, allowing people that ordered weeks after others to receive their phones. Yes, blame LG because they're the ones that don't allow Google customer service agents to actually provide customer service. Yes blame LG because they're the ones that have been ignoring our emails. Yes blame LG because they're the ones refusing to cancel orders that they know damn well they can't fulfill. Yes blame LG because their Google Play site couldn't even handle orders, crashing and causing people to have to try for hours before being able to order a phone. Yep blame LG because they're the ones that keep ignoring customer's pleas for answers and refuse to put out a press release with an explanation. Yes blame LG because they're the ones that started taking orders on the 27th of November knowing damn well that they hadn't and or couldn't even finish fulfilling Nov 13th orders. Yep blame LG cause they're the ones working on a new X phone with Motorola instead of paying attention to the damn Nexus 4. Yep blame LG cause they're the ones authorizing and re-authorizing everyone's cards over and over, holding people's money for hostage. Yep that 80 percent blame makes perfect sense to me. I feel like Clark Griswold "Merry Christmas, holy shiet" *smirk*
