Changed to pending. Bought the phone at 2:03pm est. Charge fell of debit card last week and hasn't returned please for the love of God let this be a good sign
[Nexus 4 General] ADJack:
I was refunded yesterday and today so now I have a surplus of credit. I was LL2 and now have 'Pending' status. I'm pretty sure Google is using 'Pending' as the political version of 'Back Order'. However, in this situation, both mean 'You are F*CKED'.
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
I called a bit ago for S&Gs.... I've held out on calling them. He said if I didn't get a BO that it should be received or shipped today, almost all of 11/13 orders to be shipped.

I know though of course that I did get the BO email so, BACK OF THE LINE, DAVE!!
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:

Order went thru Tuesday 13th at 01:00 PM EST

Confirmation email received

Backorder email Recevied Thursday 3:00PM

[Nexus 4 General] 5knotwinds:
Pretty much the same thing here as others are reporting:

Limbo 3 -- BO email received 11/15

Shipping date changed from the 15th to Pending.

Credit card has something new but it looks to be a refund as the funds are back in the account.

11/13/12	PENDING	GOOGLE *Devices	$382.95

11/20/12	PENDING	GOOGLE *Google Storage	$382.95

Just called Google CSR and he didn't have any info on it at all. He did say there were more orders going out again tonight but couldn't say what's being shipped. Looks like the Limbo roller coaster might be back on it's way up?

[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
the change to pending probably just means they don't have a shipping estimate for people on backorder.

Damn - you are right. Showing a credit, not a charge. :(

I still have original charge

Nope, used AmEx (FTW) and mine is still on there...since Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
I understand fully how a credit card works. Here's how it worked for me today ($ values not exact):

Started with $700 available on November 13th.

Google Pre-Authed for $370 on November 13th. Account now at $330.

Google released Pre-Auth the other day. Account back at $700.

Google TODAY returned $370. Account now at $1070.

I'm $370 UP in my account from when I started. See attachment for proof of $370 credit. I don't expect to remain "up" for very long, but some of us are getting credits back.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
First off, i was not making a political statement. Secondly, you can say what you want but the truth stands despite what fox tells you.

You took one sentence to mean way too much. There were too many holidays in this country and it may be a nice excuse to eat like a pig and spend time with people you care about but that's it.

As for every other assumption you made,,you are way, way off so perhaps you should rethink your method for obtaining facts about suburbs, etc..

Google love! :P

Same here, AMEX never dropped my pending $1400 purchase....

Ditto again
[Nexus 4 General] Newbie4:
The "re-charges" are credits. No new information from CSRs.

I ordered at 8:59am PST on Nov 13. One 8GB N4 and a bumper. Got the backorder email so I am a LL3.

Got the initial charge on the CC and it dropped off a few days back. Saw the post a few minutes ago re: people getting re-charged. Checked my account and it was a CREDIT that appeared for the order amount.

Every example that has been posted on the forums here is a credit. To me it looks like Google is just messing up and trying to credit the accounts of backordered people.

Spoke to a CSR, who looked up my order and told me that I would get the phone tomorrow. I told her about the backorder email and she immediately changed her story and said that she should have asked me first re: BO email. Now I am back to the "within 3 weeks" timeframe.

Asked about the CC credit and she said they were seeing a lot of glitches in their system.

Google is just digging themselves deeper and deeper.
[Nexus 4 General] SgtPepperKSU:
Mine never expired, either. It's still there from 2012-11-13 (in fact, I have an app that I bought then returned on the 6th - and it's still pre-authorized...).

[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Some one go back and look at the wave of shipments last night and see if they had "pending" before receiving the emails.
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
Pending probably doesn't really mean anything. It's likely just a way to update all those orders that said they'd ship last week and didnt, and they don't want to put "ships in 1-3 weeks"
[Nexus 4 General] mitchdickson:
Knock yourself out.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:

[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
Don't mean to piss on everybody's morning cereal especially at this time but I have a bad vibe about the whole status change to Pending. I think it's Google branding our asses as BACK ORDERED.
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
Nobody knows what exactly "pending" means yet (with regards to Google's processing of our orders). Definitions don't mean anything. Anyone who says otherwise is saying so without any authority.

Has anyone tried calling about this yet? Not that CSRs are at all helpful, but *maybe* they got some official message from the higher ups.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchdickson:
They never had the money. It was only ever pending.

Received confirmation email shortly after order.

Yes BO email. No shipping email..

Date has changed from 13th to the 19th in PlayStore

Status- Pending

CC- Charge still pending from 11/13
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
Google is NOT refunding any money -- they never had it! They only had an authorization NOTHING MORE.

For all we know, they are giving us FREE nexi and this CREDIT (which I have not received) is just to offset the charge that will come out automatically when it does ship.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING YET
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
What I do think is interesting is that it seems as though CSRs think that more shipments are going out tonight.... just not necessarily to who. (Except if you are B/O, which means you will never get it [keep pushing back 3 weeks].)

So maybe the rest of level 2's are shipping tonight?

[Nexus 4 General] gadgetluva:
my guess is that Google is fixing the shipping status since the 11/15 date is now way in the past; pending is put in place of an actual date because they don't actually know of a date.

I'm convinced that I'll be waiting a full 3 weeks from now before I get the Nexus 4. I'm hoping and EXPECTING that Google will give us a free bumper case for the delay since 3-4 weeks is significantly longer than the stated 3-5 business days. If that's the case, I'll be pretty happy.
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
Mine says pending...then I refresh and it says Shipping Nov 15th...refresh again and back to bending...back to Shipping Nov 15th. Pick a story Google and stick to it!
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
I do but the couple Google employees I've spoken to know absolutely nothing about the N4 as they work in different departments.

I wonder if I am the only one who is kind of enjoying being in this group of people who are in for the long haul. This thread has given my daily routine a lot of suspense and laughter. At this point I wouldn't even mind if this stuff kept happening for the next couple of weeks.

...that's right. I said it.
[Nexus 4 General] oscar6654:
Depends.. if you are in Bank of America, all pending charges longer than 3 days gets returned and for Chase, it should be like 3-7 and for AMEX its 30 days. I got my money returned on Friday last week and now it still haven't charged me yet. While some bank accounts, you can instantly see the charge, for others it will take awhile to see the charge..

Edit: Charge as in Pending
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
Yep, I made this same post a few pages ago. I agree 100%
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
I can tell you.... "Did you get BO email? Yes? Then way 3 weeks. No? Shipping tonight"

Rawr
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Yes, exactly.. the y just put a hold on out when you first order to make sure the money is there. They do not actually charge you until they ship.. At least normally.

So if your money goes back into your account it doesn't mean anything.

[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
I wasn't trying to sound sarcastic/rude either :)

Those amounts are accurate. I went back and looked at my statement to be sure. If they somehow duplicated the order - it happened on their side and never showed in Google Play. Either way I'm up $373 right now.

[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
This is what they are being told to say, thus why we're probably waiting for at least over the weekend. I'm sure huge batches will ship on Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] Antiflash:
What's funny about all re-charges is the different name used, from persons names to whatever unrelated words you can think of. Previously it was just "Devices" now is like someone is having fun with Google's Wallet charging or crediting accounts without making any sense.

LL3 with CC credit: just changed to Pending

Subject says it all. I am a LL3 who received the CC credit for my order amount (after previously seeing the original charge drop off the CC).

The CSR didn't know anything about the CC credits. I had to explain to her twice what happened since she kept insisting that it was likely Google trying to refund my money since I was backordered.

Shipping status just changed to Pending on Play orders.

I am $356 ahead and Google are idiots.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
True that. 611 told me $20. The Tmo store told me free for current customers and just handed me one.

When this launch failure started to snowball last week the term 'Pending' was ambiguous.

There was still a glitter of hope since people were getting their phones regardless of their status.

But now I am confident that CSR finally Googled the definition and are happy to show the customers

that they are using the word in proper context by including a cancel button. Stay in Back Order

indefinitely or Cancel now.
