That WOULD suck, but I doubt that would be the case. I think once they get an order they'll throw it up on sale again and a few of us could be screwed over while the new orders are being processed. I don't think there is a massive number of LL3's, that's why we're seeing a decline on the forum and CSR isn't getting a high volume of calls anymore.

There's really no point e-mailing CSRs. I've said it before:

my phone shipped, I received 2 responses saying that my phone would ship within 3 weeks. Meaning they did not do as much as look in my Wallet.

Limbo 3 checking in for the afternoon. Somehow passed my fit test with flying colors today after spending until 1am working on an evaluation report and spam checking this thread for some sick sense of hope. I think I reached acceptance but it's still fun hanging out here. I was sick all of last week so drinking was a no go. Finally got around to Total to pick up some beer.

Up for bat this afternoon: Ayinger Weizenbock, Boulevard Double-Wide IPA, and Oskar Blues Ten-Fidy Imperial Stout. Starting in 3-2-1...

Anyway, I finally got a flood of email replies from google after I went to bed... not shipping emails BTW. One higher up answered two of the questions I had sent to an account specialist. Here is his reply...

Higher up at 2:00am EST...

Hey Jayrod1980,

Thanks for contacting us.

We are working to ship all items in your order as quickly as possible within the 3 week time frame. You will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is processed and on its way. Rest assured that Nexus 4 orders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received.

Also, I pulled up your account for the Nexus 7 devices you had issues with. The original order has been refunded. I see the "chargeable" devices which popped up on the 19th. These authorizations should drop off within a few days. I have contacted our Wallet Team in order to figure out why they even showed up after your original device was refunded. If you have further issues with this particular account please feel free to contact me via email.

Thanks!

Spencer

The Google Play Team

Next around 10:45am EST from regular Google person...

Hello Jayrod1980,

Thank you for contacting Google. It is my pleasure to assist you today.

If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a backorder notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

If you need any further assistance, I'd be glad to help. You can reply to this email or you can visit the help center here.

Best Regards,

Rob

The Google Play Support Team

My guess is that with 2 day shipping, sending out over the weekend would net a Tuesday delivery, Next Day Air would be Monday, or maybe Tuesday. I believe they will have some stock in on Monday... if so, then it would be easy to presume they get supply in on Mondays, probably air freight and whenever that big gonzo Korean ship comes in, they will probably pass out the rest and put the device back on the market for Christmas. Just my two cents... could be full of crap, but take it for what it's worth.
[Nexus 4 General] kcuartero:
was your status pending before it changed to complete?

Google Nexus 4 Review: The Phone You Should Buy This Black Friday

http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2012-11/google-nexus-4-review
[Nexus 4 General] peestandingup:
You're kidding yourself if you don't think pretty much every electronic device you own doesn't exploit cheap Chinese labor. And have you ever been to Wal-Mart, or Target, or most big box stores?? Yeah, same thing. Flip those tags over. "Made in China" is displayed prominently. Hell, the drywall in our homes comes from China.

This is an American problem, period. But hey, blame Apple. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
Damn, this T-Mobile store within walking distance from my place has 5(FIVE) Nexus4 16GB in stock. Thinking about pulling the trigger.
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
Oh isn't that awesome, I went in to my local store and their response "Oh we don't carry those in store, only online"

I am so tired of people not knowing their a**h*** from a hole in the ground. When will this incompetence end.

[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Has anybody succeed in getting a discount from these Google Scum.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
If I had known they would be this bad AGAIN on launch day I would have bought from T-Mobile at the start. However, since we have maybe 2 weeks or so to wait... I'll just stomach through this delay and save $150 bucks and enjoy my Nexus 10 over the holiday. Still debating whether to RMA for small light bleed. Plus, even though launch sucks with google, their returns and RMA process are a million times better than any carrier. You get a new device usually overnight, get to keep the one you have while you wait, and Google pays the return shipping. They are stand up in that respect. I'd rather not fight T-Mobile over returns. Had a MyTouch 4G before and could not adequately get a device that didnt have problems... at least with returns. I'm not going to go through that again.
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
I was really surprised. I called 5 other stores, 2 of them never had it in stock while the other 3 has sold out since last week. This particular one has 3 8GBs and 5 16GBs (according to the sales associate).
[Nexus 4 General] Arcturus55:
I ordered 2 N4's one 8 gb and one 16 gb. The 8 gb is being delivered today but the 16 gb (mine) is pending as of yesterday afternoon :(

------------------------

Some info:

1x Nexus 4 8gb -ordered at 11:52 EST

1x Nexus 4 16gb -ordered at 12:55 EST

I got a backorder email on the 15th and I called Google Play reps to ask if this was for both orders and he said it most likely was (turned out wrong). So apparently you had to of received one backorder email per order and it didn't apply to all the purchases.

In general although I am happy to be receiving the 8gb one, even though it is not for me, this whole launch of the N4/N10 was a complete train wreck and Google should be more than ashamed.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
I have been sending Google links of the EBayers displaying and selling multiple Nexus 4s... lets see how they respond.

Honestly, if I was running a business... I would rather have many users happy with 1 device, rather than 1 user happy with multiple devices.

10 people with 1 or 2 phones delivered on time > 1 person with 10 phones delivered on time.
[Nexus 4 General] menting:
you call them scum, yet you still want to deal with them and get a discount.

if you hate them so much, you shouldn't deal with them
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:

[Nexus 4 General] illmatic90:
Anybody genuinely think we will receive a free bumper for our nexus 4 after this fiasco?
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
If they had just taken pre-orders and limited it to only 2 devices per account, this ordeal would have never been this bad.
[Nexus 4 General] ryanbmw51:
Nope
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
And f*** you Nordstrom, I don't wanna save 50% off and get free shipping and returns.

God.
[Nexus 4 General] menting:
yeah, pre-orders and limiting it would have helped a lot

but it'll need to be limited to address as well, not just accounts.

else people will just be creating multiple accounts.
[Nexus 4 General] mrabbani:
I ordered one of each as separate orders and received one BO email but they are both pending. Who know what the **** is going on.
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
That explains everything!! Lol! But seriously... WTF!! Looking at my order time i maybe one of the last folks to receive one!! :(
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
True, scalpers are getting smarter and smarter these days.

[Nexus 4 General] Ainvar:
Similar circle. The opening of this hospital was something to talk about.

Sounds good. Hopefully it will not take 3 weeks for the debacle to be over.
[Nexus 4 General] pandamaja:
IDK, they took pre-orders for the original N7. That didn't work out too well either.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
I'm also still "complete" no changes whatsoever so far. do you think they will take note of us? because complete could mean to the "shipping department" that we already have our phone and will ignore it.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] joquarky:
I don't think it was entirely random.

It seems like they shipped the latest orders first, the first orders later, and the middle orders last.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
This is the second time they failed in product launch... I hope they understand that the people they hired suck at their job, and will allow others build a new model or crowd source (:p xda) a model...
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Well at least all this back order business has made me rediscover how decent my Motorola Defy was
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Well, I have a 10% discount in the works with Google right now. Let's see what they actually give me.
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
Based on all the intel provided in this thread and all the charts and sum up´s being made in high detailed forms, that is not the case.

The orders were randomly being shipped. Some people who ordered first got their first, then there were those who ordered in the middle that got their phones before the ones ordering first and so on.

I got no BO and still get to hang out with the LL3:s .... maybe i should call myself a LL3 lol
[Nexus 4 General] menting:
what they should have done is let Amazon handle it.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
If I were running a business I would rather have customers that ordered 10 as opposed to customers that ordered 1. :highfive: I do wish they had pushed the 10 qty orders to the back of the line. Those are no doubt re-sellers. I think anything over 2 should get pushed.
[Nexus 4 General] shankesh:
can you please tell me when the shipments arrive and ordering starts for nexus 4 approximately !!!

I'm waiting eagerly for this device
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
hmmmmmm :mad:

[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:

[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Is this something they offered you?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
They won't I guess , they know it'll make the headlines like that free nexus 4 :)

Nexus 4 back ordered , forced to use an iPhone 4S , blame Google
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
I´m really not in a hurry. The main issue is that I live in Sweden and my brother lives in Californa. He ordered it for me and he´s coming home for christmas. All I want is that it ships before he comes home. Otherwise it will be a hassle shipping it over here, and will cost me even more (alot more)

AND I wont be able to play with it for my birthday ( December 24th) lol
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Wow, I am just annoyed. I was on hold for so long to get a hold of the manager and now no email. I am gonna call the manager tomorrow to complain about the manager.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
No... they failed all of them. I didn't get the Nexus One but I wanted one. The site ordering was clunky... I wasn't even able to get to the order page until a while after it had been released, and they planned releasing models for T-Mo, ATT, and Verizon at the least and first came the T-Mo version, and then the ATT. Or maybe it was the other way around, but Verizon never came and all the tech support was through EMAIL! Total failure with people trying to get timely returns, repairs, refunds, etc.

Next, the Nexus S. My first Nexus phone (owned a G-1 from nearly release date even though there were no Nexus back then), it was basically a warmed over Galaxy S with a better file system, flash camera, curved screen, no Gorilla Glass, and vanilla Android. Software wise it was great, and got all the way up to 4.1. It's my fall back right now. Well... they dealt the launch through Best Buy. I showed up before the store opened on launch date, and was the last person to get it... only five in stock, and only T-Mobile, at least at first in the States, ATT came after. Well, that phone had a big ring in the screen, like those old magnet marks on TV's. Took me a day to find a Best Buy in a 50 mile area that actually carried it. Only Best Buys that sell T-Mobile phones got more than the 5 phone initial stock. After that it was ok.

After that the Nexus 7. Pre-ordered and we all got our devices days after the brick and mortar stores did. Then, it sold out, and wasn't available for a couple weeks just like the Nexus 4. People were upset. Plus we all paid 20 bucks in shipping PLUS tax... just to get it after some casual brick and mortar buyer that paid LESS than the pre-order folks.

Lastly, we have the Nexus 4/7 3G/10 deal. I was able to get my 10, but a lot of people didn't. However, this was minor in comparison to the 4, which we all know how bad that is. No phone, no bumpers, no shipping, charging problems, server crashes. The 7 3G version was backordered a while and the 32GB update just 3 months after the same priced 16GB went on sale. Need I say more? Google needs to lure someone from Amazon or Apple or other proven online merchandise vendor. One of the most profitable companies in the world can't afford to botch things up this much... and it's really inexcusable that after 3 years, they can't get a product launch right.
[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
Received my phone yesterday, and the only issue I experience is the rattle. And that isn't a quality control issue. It's the autofocus mechanism on the camera. The only way you can even notice it is by trying to look for it, otherwise you won't even hear it.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Keep us updated! 10% off a bumper :( 10% off a phone :) I'm assuming this would be for future purchases.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
... Hmmm I don't hear any rattle? o_o
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
L3 should be renamed from the betrayed to the abandoned. Most of our former limbo brothers have even abandoned us now...
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
maybe whoever is running the launches is buddy-buddy with management... and management is looking over their ineptness...
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
That's because you wear headphones and thus you have more hearing loss than the average non headphone user. Hence, you cannot hear the rattle.

Am I presuming much? :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Maybe... LL3 - Betrayed by Google, Abandoned by Limbo Comrades
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Nice :p
[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
It's very silent. Take your phone, hold it up to your ear, and shake it. You'll hear a slight rattle coming from the camera. Also, don't shake it side to side. Shake it front to back.
[Nexus 4 General] necksis:
Ha, I actually know the guy that listed those. He only got one himself, but he knew some other people that got them as well. So they all pooled their phones. He said none of them had gotten more than one each. He asked me if I wanted to sell mine with the rest of them, but I wanted to keep it.

I was just chatting with him and he said they profited about $150 off of each one (after eBay fees and everything). He really wanted to keep his and we were both super excited when we found out that our orders went through, but said that he'd rather wait a month or two to order again when it came down to cutting the cost almost in half. He worded it as "if Google said that they would knock $150 off the price of the phone for anyone willing to wait a month or two, what would you do?" I can see where he is coming from, plus he has a Galaxy Nexus so he is already playing with Android 4.2.

[Nexus 4 General] androidi10:
And I thought I would have this phone by last Friday

I have been refreshing this thread like crazy for the last few days thanks to Google

Man I am very close to canceling this order and going to an apple store to buy an iPhone

I have had it with google. They do not even care enough to tell us exactly when our orders from last week should ship.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
They've tweaked the layout of both the Play Store orders and Wallet orders pages a few times. That showed up on the last set of tweaks.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
For me it was put in yesterday, after my 'Shipping Estimate on Nov 15' changed to 'Pending'
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
They said we were backordered and that will get our phones within 3 weeks estimate. Thats really all they need to say.
[Nexus 4 General] strobex:
Good pr.

Tempting.
[Nexus 4 General] ryandesu:
I think it was random, I ordered mine 4:41pm EST, I would of had mine if that were the case. I feel worst for the left behind LL2ers who ordered earliest.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
So there is 7 guys that all bought just to resell. I think lots of these first day orders were for resell.

If their going to tweak the play store, why not add a status that says "shipping in xx weeks/days"

That's what I'm gonna do next time. Make a living of resale. Oh wait, I do that already.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
No, mine never went to pending status. The only thing that's happened to me since the order date changed to 17th on the 17th is that they tried to refund my CC using some random play store developer account and my bank was having none of it. That's it....
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
"Shipping in ha ha just kidding just cancel already"
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Guys, if our orders are backordered.. Does this mean we need to order it again, when it comes online ? or does google just automatically send the phone, even if its backordered ?
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
That would help a lot !
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:
I just now got sick of all of this and canceled my order and just bought a 8gb for 460 off of ebay...just couldnt resist any longer, everyone had there phones except for us limbo L3s...at least ill get a tracking number on ebay and have something to look forward to.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Where do you live? If NYC then I may also. :)
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
They'll be shipped to us whenever they come in, you don't need to order again. :good:

[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
That would be pretty ridiculous if they made us wait just to try and have a crack at ordering again even though we all got through the first time and should've had our orders shipped by now
[Nexus 4 General] emuneee:
This. Everyone #ResetYourExpectations. Three weeks from November 15th is December 6th. Expect that you'll get your device on that day.
