Google play shows ordered date 12/8 but no link at bottom of page to get to a date?? Google wallet shows 12/8 pre-order but no shipping date or estimate.

Do you have a print screen of where I should look and see please.

I posted about this previously in this thread, but I'll post it again:

Google Official - Determine your estimated delivery window:

[Nexus 4 General] thecj:
i saw it,the problem is that they send me the email in Spanish: "Plazo de envío aproximado:

Entre 4 y 5 semanas".
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
I've got another way for you to find out:

http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?&contact_type=devices_shipping_status

Put in your Name, Email, your Order Number,

In the. "Tell us how we can help ", put this text: "When will my order ship?"

You will receive an automatic response telling you the latest date at which it will ship.

HOWEVER, from the information you provided. I can tell you right now that your order should ship by January 3rd, 2013,

Googles estimation is calculated from the 'Order date', there is no mention of confirmation dates.
[Nexus 4 General] EstarlinMReyes:
I've been without a powerful phone for a month and need to wait more damn
[Nexus 4 General] thecj:
Thanks, i did it and it say "your order should ship by the evening of January 02." :(
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
I think you have that the wrong way around. Play shows "pre-ordered" dates, Wallet shows ordered dates. Neither provide estimates of delivery times. For that you must check your order receipt (email) for delivery estimates. Use the methods I previously posted for checking when your latest date of shipping will be.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Excellent and that just cleared up a question I had.

Google is not including January 1st in shipping dates for all who were on the 27th, this means that both 27th and 28th orders have a "should ship by" date of January 2.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
You are welcome.
[Nexus 4 General] boondoc:
i wonder if this means that if you have an "estimated delivery does that mean you have to add extra weeks to make up for sat and sun not being business days

Please please tomorrow. That would make Friday "National Nexus Day"... At least in my house...

[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
I hope so. I'm calling them if they don't ship of tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
No, I posted about this previously, google has two systems to determine shipping time. For the Nexus a week is a week, it isn't in business days/weeks. (http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2915355).

I believe it is just a matter of them guaranteeing that the product ships out. They cannot guarantee on xmas day or new years day as shipment days, which is why those of us who ordered on the 27th have a range starting the 26th to the 2nd as stated by google whenever someone has asked.
[Nexus 4 General] LuisLAN:
Can I do this to check somebody else order shipping date?
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
If that happens.... Boy oh boy UPS doesnt want to know the hellfire i will rain on them...

[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
It requires you use the email address and order number of the original order. So unless you have access to the email address used, no.

I gave it a try with an alternate email address instead of the one used for the order (out of curiosity) and it didn't work.

EDIT: Took a while longer to receive the auto response, but as long as you use the name and order number any email address will work.

[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
From the consumer point of view they failed even before they even started. The whole sales process is simply inadequate to get any traction among ordinary consumers.

Unless the consumers aren't the ones google is really after. Which I think is actualy the case, they aren't naive or stupid and have enough people with an adequate consumer sales experience.

So, to sum this up: we should not expect this to be a retail affair and behave them as a classical retailers. They have a very different agenda.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
Still nothing. I'm going to call then today.
[Nexus 4 General] connect_ammo:
I used the link you gave and got this response.

Thank you for contacting Google about your Nexus 4 status. It shows that your quoted time frame for delivery is 4-5 weeks from purchase. As you are coming up almost onto your 5th week you should be receiving tracking information here within the next few days.

If you continue to have questions or concerns please let me know.

Thank you and happy holidays,

May be getting ready for shipping

I guess Google may be getting ready to ship the phones.

Its just an assumption (Please dont kill me), today when I was checking play store account by around 02:45 AM I was continuously getting the message that "Server is Down". May be they are updating of processing our orders :fingers-crossed:

I am a 4-5 weeker from nov. 27 and have no information it just says preordered. Thank god i got one off ebay for $450 and im happy to pay that its worth it and i dont have to wait anymore.

[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
Stupid Google!

Ordered the Nexus at Dec 6. No response as of yet. Wanted to change the shipping address. Called them up, they're saying that can't be done after an order has been made. I haven't even been sent the shipping confirmation or anything - ie - the shipping hasn't even started and they can't change the address. Stupidest policies ever.
[Nexus 4 General] caysie:
try to change your shipping address in Google wallet account i think by the time you order is ready to ship they will ship to your wallet ship address
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
8 GB or 16 GB?

Yes. It's kinda sad seeing this thread keeps growing. I was a 4-5 weeker from 27th Nov but I got lucky and received mine at 15th of Dec.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
I called Google. They were useless. All they know is the estimated week frame.
[Nexus 4 General] soldierblue348:
I don't get how it's so hard to cancel an order. They said my order ALREADY shows as canceled in one part of their system but not in the other and they have to "investigate".

That's the automated response you get when asking about the shipping estimate

Whats is the difference between backordered and pre-ordered ? Pre-ordered is what my status shows on Gplay.

How does one find out if the order is backordered?
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Back-ordered means they're not going to make the shipping estimate. If this happens you should get an e-mail.
[Nexus 4 General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Got the same mail.
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
Looking back over this thread I get the feeling that all the folks phoning and emailing chasing up their orders is just being counter-productive. Chances are this is just wasting the ordering folks time and slowing things down even more.

Maybe we should all stop hassling them for one week and it might speed things up.

Just a thought.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Google CS has little to nothing to do with their order processing, that is one thing which has become abundantly clear. Not counter-productive towards Google, but definitely a waste of your own time.

That is rubbish. I'm sure you have a plan for making sure it gets received but as an FYI for you and others, sign up for UPS MyChoice and you can have packages held at your local ups store when you are away, and more.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Are you waiting on an 8GB or 16GB? What was your original shipping estimate? Was it simply the threat of cancelling your order that has pushed them to attempt taking action?
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
Did anyone's ship today?
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I guess that's an overwhelming no.
[Nexus 4 General] gunner1937:
Brainless, maybe? It is understandable during the celebration of the Holidays.:)

Those who have ordered several units, then cancelled some, plus the several RMA orders, plus all the unecessary calls and email while each order got a specific shipping window, all the above plus the bottleneck created by Google and LG have not help rendering the process smooth and efficient.:D

Ordered my 8gb on Nov 27, 2012 3:59:36 PM EST. Its week 4, and my promise date is january 2nd for shipping. No shipping notifications as of yet, checked wallet, and nothing. I'm Starting to have my doubts that I will get my device shipped by the second, which is next wens...
[Nexus 4 General] soldierblue348:
16. My initial estimate was 6-7 weeks.

It wasn't simply the threat. I put in a request to cancel it a week ago and I got the email back saying they couldn't. I called in and they said that I'd have to call in to request a cancellation. I mulled it over for a while longer and called in to try and get it cancelled and that's where the fun started. My order for reasons unknown to the CSR already read as cancelled in part of their system but not in another part of their system. I have no idea why they'd even have two areas in their system for this.

So, because of this I was now told they couldn't tell me if the order was actually cancelled or not nor could they cancel it before conducting an "investigation" as to what happened. I don't really get why it's on me to wait until they do their investigation. I'd think they would just cancel the order and then do whatever they need to do on their end, but I get that they're not exactly great at this stuff. So then we discussed outcomes and said either: 1) ship it "now" or, 2) cancel it decisively and I'll re-order when it's in stock (whenever that would be).
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
It wouldn't surprise me if most of us 4-5 week'ers end up getting notification on the same day due to batch shipping. It also wouldn't surprise me with current proceedings, if that day is the 2nd >.>

Ah, ok. Well I'm sure you'll let us know how that turns out.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I agree that we'll probably see them the same day, especially if you are an 8GB buyer. I feel like there aren't that many being purchased (maybe its just the peeps on this forum?). I'm so ready for this wait to be over, so for my own brain and others that are weary from this stupid wait... lets hope it'll be sooner than the 2nd. Maybe we'll somehow get 16GB models :silly:. I can't say that we will though; They didn't stomp on our shipping date and leave us in limbo.

side note: I'm sick of this stupid Atrix with it's digitizer that just decided to go bad last week :eek:

[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
I've gotten over the dying to get it feeling. I've just been messing with my tablet and PC to pass the time.

Though I have noticed myself buying more and more things for my PC now to make me forget about the nexus 4... So far I got a Logitech G510 and a Razer Naga Hex... I'm eyeing a Razer Nostromo too... I hope that my phone ships soon for the sake of my wallet :p

Seriously though its just a phone, sure I was excited when I got my order in, but over the past month I went through denial, saying the phone would ship in a few days, then I tried blaming Google. Now I have accepted that my Nexus will come when it wants to come. I can't control the Neutral Network, only the Nexus Gods can.

[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
They produce phones in batches country by country, like 10-20K units which would mean that each country will get their delivery like two times a month or so.

And if my estimations are not too far off, their production rate seems to be at about 100+k units per month (total), so it seems like google has about 100k preorders.

Which is still tiny btw, a true boutique manufactory.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I read earlier someone posting about conjecture that Google only gets phones twice a month. I think they get new stock at least once a week. The only reason they are "sold out" again vice having up the shipping estimate window is that it's probably past an amount of orders that they can fill in the time frames quoted on your shipping window. I've had a lot of hang ups with my orders and RMA replacements, but judging by who got devices shipped and how often they were shipped, I think my delays had to do with their order tracking/accounting, rather than just stock supply. I had a very competant person in the RMA department help me with some issues, one of which was to send out a replacement N4 (3rd RMA). The order was made December 24th, early evening on the East Coast. This morning I awoke to a shipping email from Google. My tracking number doesn't yet show up on UPS but it's been created. Of course UPS and their logistics arm did not work on Christmas, but it's been 2 days, including a holiday and they have already got me a shipping label for my replacement.

I believe that device orders will be opened again probably by the second week of January. Nothing factual, but it seems logical given the shipping windows of 5-7 weeks that were listed right before they sold out. Once they fill 75-80% of their backorders, they should have enough stock to ship again with their "within a week" shipping window.
[Nexus 4 General] kingwaffle:
I submitted an RMA request on Dec 19th and was quoted "About 1 week" on the shipment of my replacement device. Received the shipping notification this morning at 4:14a (EST) that it had shipped.
