[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
See my sig.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
A French Canadian, no less. This marks the first time ever Quebec has received something first.
[Nexus 4 General] :

Stop posting that list. It's just annoying.

Use the link from my sig instead. 125 results at the time of this posting.

I thought Quebec wasn't Canada anymore ;)
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I'm kind of bummed mine got left in Kentucky.

This list is feeling like the Vietnam Memorial.
[Nexus 4 General] ryandesu:
I hacked UPS and had it re-routed to MAH PLACE SORRY BRAH! :silly: better luck next time!
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Cases are scars over here in Chicago! :(
[Nexus 4 General] Hawkeye9723:
No signature required, the UPS guy left it outside my door. Luckily my GF saw it and brought it inside when she left for work.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Yeah... So much for next day air...

Sent from my teapot. :3
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
Yay, hope!

But wait, what size did you order? I think that's something that needs to be recorded in these responses on Google Docs, because it seems that the 8GB backlog isn't as bad as the 16GB backlog...
[Nexus 4 General] harsubs:
I have you beat. My order was at 7:26 PM EST. Although, given the play store problems, there may not have been many orders in between.

My auth dropped of on Sunday and is not back yet. And the wait continues.
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
10 posts per page... simple math ;)
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
This whole thing with updating GWallet is just a f-ing waste of time.

No BO email and L2 and still nothing although CSR told me shipping info yesterday or today.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Don't be bummed; it'll be there tomorrow just in time for Turkey Day. You can still use it as an excuse to ignore people you don't want to talk to.
[Nexus 4 General] bjg020683:
In Limbo 3. On Google wallet status pending but on my back account pending has disappeared and my money has been refunded. Wtfudge?
[Nexus 4 General] t4t3r:
:) Earliest UPS has ever been to my house, I'm lucky if they make it by 5 most days. For those who are out for delivery you should be getting it around 10:30am in your respective time zones.

Hope those in limbo/on BO get your devices soon.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
What time did you get your tracking email I'm assuming it was just the later ones got left behind
[Nexus 4 General] Marianox07:
Marianox07 - Level 2 - No Shipping info
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
My luck I'll be the first L3 out and I'll trip over a claymore. :silly:

Not just a Canadian, but a Quebecois! :mad: ;)

The conveyor belt is moving us all toward the end, we're just all piled up and it's making a mess on the factory floor. Hopefully this all gets cleaned up and we get out in an orderly fashion before the factory burns down. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
According to the s**thead I talked to at UPS it still counts as next day because it wasn't scanned until early this morning. It doesn't matter when the shipping label was printed. He made a big point of correcting me as to when it was shipped. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
Hold up, lemme get my pants on.

I got home and saw a package on my porch last night... super excited... it was a forgotten order from amazon. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
No update after play store changing the date on pending to the 19th. Today finally my pending charge dropped off of my credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] pinoyz:
I just got my order from UPS! It was fun being in limbo with you guys! I hope you guys will get your order shipped soon, for those who haven't yet!

Hm..Funny thing is, I just checked my CC, the order still has not been charged?!
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Damnit they're doing it to me again! I finally stopped refreshing google wallet waiting to see if my order shipped, and then yesterday I foolishly called Google Support.They told me if I did not receive a back order notice then my order will be shipped on Tuesday morning. Now I know better at this point, but here I am... refreshing google wallet... feeling like a fool. /sigh

Thanks google!
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I work retail I wont be able to ignore anyone Thursday and Friday lol
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Well I got my shipment confirmation from google at 5:45PST ( first wave )... but the tracking number wasn't view-able until around 2am my time.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
:good: :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Alright the real question is how many of you that got your shipping info got an email from UPS MyChoice?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Awesome!

The only thing to hope for now is an undamaged/faulty phone.

Almost over the hurdle!
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
All this talk of sticking together and solidarity, and L2's are dropping like flies. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
I can honestly see Google hiring some third part to do the logistics of this release... having them perform horribly then Google taking the remainder of the orders (yesterday) and just dropping it all in UPS's lap. It's really what appears to have happened.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Great! We need three volunteers to infiltrate CSR headquarters and gather intel. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Did you actually call?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Oh...my sympathies then. I can't imagine working retail on Black Friday. I don't even leave my house normally that day, but this year I'm going to the Ren Festival that day.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Never got anything from them.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I got mine at 540 but also wasn't viewable until 2am
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Yeah, because they really have intel....
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
First the post that their phone arrived!!!! ... then they don't post much after that :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] kazpsp:
Dont cancel your orders.... You will cry.... This phone is ****ing sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Nexus 4 General] Datsun.510:

[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Good question; I did not, and I always do, so that was surprising. In fact I had to manually add the tracking number to my My Choice app, which I've never had to do before.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:
Some people think that, but I'm not. I'm a proudly french canadian Nexus 4 owner!
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I hope they don't mess up our order again today.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I'm still here! Until the very end! Even though technically I'm a Level 4 now...the Impatient! ;)
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I just going to hide in a dressing room and play with my N4
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Has anyone in limbo 3 got their phone yet?
[Nexus 4 General] f1seb:
Through thorough and constant telephony reconnaissance done by the Level 2's and some Level 3's we already know that the CS headquarters knows nothing. We need a new target or start taking hostages.
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
Dammit!

My tracking number STILL isn't view-able. I have achieved Schrödinger's limbo, I am both LL2 and LL4 at the same time...
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
Unless UPS is the one that saved this from being a complete and total failure.... and the reason shipments seem to have some sort of order at this point.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I'm telling you, I bet they tried to rush a ton of last minute overnight packages to the planes and a few didn't make it; that has to be what happened with ours. UPS is generally very reliable so I have zero doubt that those of us who don't get them today will have them tomorrow. :)

Keep your chin up!
[Nexus 4 General] pertelotte:
I think a few people have. I've been skimming over posts. I think a guy here a few posts before yours mentioned being level 3 and it's arriving today. Still holding out hope.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Don't you talk like that we almost made it just 1 more day I BELIEVE
[Nexus 4 General] vivanshah:
still in limbo 3 here, although my order date was changed to the 19th.
[Nexus 4 General] StReEtDrEaMs:
Phone was just delivered 936 am est

Ups only took 7 hours!!!

Can't wait to get outta work might go pick it up on my lunch break

Good luck to everyone
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
16GB is still in google wallet. I don't care anymore. Will not deal with google ever again.
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
Finally, more of this! Damn you all and your optimism! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
Finally got a tracking number last night for my Nexus 4. Also got a tracking number from Amazon for something else I ordered last night.

Curious. Google Now shows a tracking card for my Amazon order, but Google Now has no tracking card from the Google Play order sent to my Google Mail account. Haha, really Google? :p

I guess because they put a pound sign infront of the tracking number it messed up Google Now.
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
I ordered the 8GB, still in limbo 3, order date still on the 19th. Maybe they ran out of the 8GBs *shrugs*
[Nexus 4 General] KtMack23:
My phone is hear! I hope to never check this thread again!
[Nexus 4 General] mlemonds:
yes
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Google Now supposedly only works with Amazon and some other company right now. Odd, eh?
[Nexus 4 General] nyyankees3511:
they said they are getting stock in as I was speaking to a csr. but who knows.
[Nexus 4 General] gallitoreds:
same here! ****EM! this is no way to treat customers!!
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
nope
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
And to think I ordered an 8gb thinking "I can make it work, save some money, and they won't sell out"....

Well played Google, well played.
[Nexus 4 General] gallitoreds:
at this point, all I want is my money back so I can buy something else for Gods sake!
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Woke up to this:

Thank you for contacting Google Play Support.

From your email, I understand that you have placed an order for the Nexus 4 device and I also understand that you would like to know the status of your order. I apologize for the delay in my response.

Sir, your order has been processed successfully but you have not been charged yet. The $363.9 amount you've noticed is only an authorization, not an actual charge. Authorizations occur between our billing system and your card issuing bank's billing system to ensure that the necessary funds are available in your account before the order is charged.you have not been charged yet instead its just a hold on your credit/debit card just to make sure that you have available funds.

Moreover, the Play Store is experiencing incredibly high demand for the Nexus 4 and we sold out of our stock quickly. Only some Nexus 4 orders are back-ordered. Nexus 4 orders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received.

I would like to inform you that your device should get shipped within 3 weeks. However, we are working to ship your order as quickly as possible within the 3 week time frame. Moreover, you will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is processed and on it's way.

I hope the above have answered your questions. Feel free to reply to us in case of additional questions.

Regards,

Mazher Khan,

The Google Play Support Team.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Why didn't he get BOed ?
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
Mine did not require a signature.

Unless the delivery notification is incorrect and there really is no phone sitting in front of my door...
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yes, I called this morning, maybe about 1/2 hour ago. After I hung up I got an email, assuming it was from Crystal, the rep on the phone, but it was a rep Jason, that I have been emailing since Thursday, sent him a reply from our previous conversations Sunday but he didn't answer until this morning....so they both told me the same thing just moments apart from each other.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I have a feeling today is going to be similar to yesterday. We're going to hear nothing all day but all of a sudden, bam. Thousands of tracking numbers for a majority of the backorder people. I think they want to get people these phones before Thanksgiving so their working their asses off to do so. If they aren't received by tomorrow, then Monday at the very latest (for most people)
[Nexus 4 General] laverdure#1:
Maybe they now know a little more they use to. Yesterday, people reported being told by CSR that they had just received stock, that phones would be shipping tonight, everybody including myself thought BS...and then the flood gates opened for the level 2. So maybe, just maybe, it is true...

Or maybe they're back to jacking us again...
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
Requiring a signature and obtaining a signature are two different things.

If there is someone available to sign, they will get a signature. If no one is available, then it is up to the discretion of the driver as to whether or not they want to leave it.

I think, and I'm not completely sure, that a signature is only "required" if the shipper specifically requests a signature.
[Nexus 4 General] junks2010:
My phones just got delivered at 10:30AM. That was pretty fast. I got the email at around mid night.

I am at work now so I won't be able to play with it until tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] VidMan:
For those still waiting, once it ships it ships ridiculously fast. Warehouse to my front door in 5 hours. Heck, the UPS guy woke me up before my alarm clock even went off at 9.
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
I doubt there are going to be any more shipments coming out any time soon.

They shot their entire wad last night

THERE ARE NO MORE PHONES.

We wait...
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
I'd agree. Here's my take on it from earlier:
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
I'm thinking this might be the case as well. I forget where but I recall reading that google does not want to miss black Friday so I can only assume they are doing their damnedest to get the backorders fulfilled prior to re-opening the play store to take more [pre]orders.

I personally will be pretty pissed if they start taking more orders at the end of this week without fulfilling the outstanding backorders that already exist.
[Nexus 4 General] mlemonds:
wrong quote

this is true, i should rephrase and say i was able to provide a signature, but did not see anything on UPS.com that required so. (my address was not listed on UPS.com so i dont know if the signature information was omitted)
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
We don't know that for sure. There was no official email sent out saying their stock is depleted. All we have are reps saying were on backorder and we won't get devices for weeks but we all know how accurate those reps are, right?
[Nexus 4 General] vineet381:
got delivered at 10:01 AM EST, that was quick!

I would be leaving you guys now, wish you all a very good luck!!
[Nexus 4 General] onedude1:
This is messed up....

I feel so low now...

As im checking this post at work, calmly... with a TV on the news channel

I see how Palestine is being bombarded.

Myself... worrying about a freking phone....
[Nexus 4 General] D_Rob:
I was a Level 1 limbo and just got mine shipped today myself. Many level 2's had their device before I did.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Well, I have a glimmer of hope: I talked to an actually helpful UPS CSR and she told me that while my package had been delayed it was still scheduled for delivery today they just weren't going to meet some internal time they had it scheduled for. She said that at this point I am definitely still supposed to get by tonight.

I'm not getting my hopes up; not even going to cross my fingers. If it comes it comes; if not I'll cry into my pillow like a brokenhearted schoolgirl...er I mean suck it up like a man and get it tomorrow. :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Sad....Really sad :(:(
[Nexus 4 General] burgershot:
burgershot - Level 2 - no shipping/BO email - Canada
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
It would be business suicide to not have these available on Black Friday. I don't know how it's going to work for getting it on Friday because they won't be shipping Thursday night. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't UPS start delivering on Saturday between Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Edit: Don't forget to use the links in my signature and stop posting that stupid list of names in the thread.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Oh man what a nightmare that would be. We'd get mixed in with all the new backorders. Thousand of new people asking what the levels mean :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Ughhhh! So i call again and they apologized for no shipping number but assured me my order would arrive before the end of the day. I can't keep holding my breath google! I seriously just want them to tell me "its backordered" already so I can quit thinking about it!
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
Plus LG could be rolling several thousand devices off the production lines each day and shipping pallets out to google on a daily basis.

Google may very well be getting large shipments of devices in every day. As long as they keep turning these shipments around and sending them out the door ASAP we might expect to see waves of shipping emails every day.
[Nexus 4 General] AmericanYakuza:
I just don't see how LG made enough phones to meet the demand. If Google had the phones witting in a warehouse somewhere and knew they enough to cover everyone that ordered, i don't see where that 3 week time frame came from. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
I feel your pain - Got mine Saturday & forgot to unsubscribe from this thread
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Trust me, being backordered doesn't help you not think about it. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Agree completely. How can two huge companies (Google and LG) take 3 weeks to produce phones? Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but it can't take that long...
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
Google new from almost day one who was going to get a phone and who WASN'T

The BO email was dead-accurate except for a few folks that got phones because of cancellations, double orders, or folks who's credit cards denied the charge.

But for the most part Google KNEW exactly how many folks were going to get phones on time and who was on "backorder." We on Limbo3 are on backorder because THERE ARE NO MORE PHONES.

The only thing Google didn't have control over was how fast the slow-ass jerks at UPS Logistics shipped the phones that they had out. IT took them FIVE days to do what Google thought would only take two. Maybe Google gave UPS Logistics a bit of extra cash to to get some more folks working in the warehouse so the drop-ship crew could get them out of the UPS hub on Monday just under the wire. Monday was the big push but they ARE ALL OUT OF PHONES now.

If you still believe that the BO folks are somehow NOT on backorder (when Google knew this all along since they know how many phones they sent to the UPS Logistics drop-ship center from day one) then you are just dreaming.

I have zero faith that there will be any more shipments until there are more phones sent from LG. Nobody knows how long that will take but they aren't going to be paying thousands and thousands of dollars to air-ship a couple of day's worth of production from the LG plant to KY every few days. A shipment a week is about all we can reasonably expect -if that.

At the minimum it'll be days until more orders are shipped out.
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
I really hope UPS doesn't send it back to google because the zip code I put down was wrong by 1 digit. Mine just updated to Out For Delivery so I guess we'll see what happens.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Laurice: I'm looking at your account right now and it's showing that it will be shipping tonight at the latest.

Me: Really? Even though I'm on backorder?

Laurice: .......or any time within the next three weeks.

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
[Nexus 4 General] jvanassche:
Production isn't the long pole in the tent--it's shipping. The phones are being produced somewhere in Asia, likely Korea, and they have to get to the US. Air transport of bulk goods is really expensive, so roughly 98% of bulk goods still move by ocean transport. The ocean transport from Asia to the US takes a few weeks.

With such a low-margin device, it's highly unlikely that Google would spring for any kind of bulk air freight, so the three week estimate is probably based on the time it will take the phones currently being produced to reach the US.
[Nexus 4 General] flipao:
50/50 chance!
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
Lol that was really funny and probably true ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
I agree! I'm sure they can thousands daily and it gets air freighted probably within 24 hours.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Not to mention they probably only ship every once in a while. Once a week, perhaps. :(

Would explain why it took this long to get another big wave though.
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
I agree, but I think if air-ship does happen (because Google decides that they REALLY want to get the phones out even if they lose a crap-ton of money) and they decide to subsidize a shipment by aircraft it won't happen until they have a bunch to ship. I think this will be at a very minimum a week until they get enough together to make a decent-sized shipment.

You are probably right that Google is not going to fly them to the US at all and will send them on a slow boat. But if they do air-ship them it won't be until a week or so. They aren't going to ship them every few days via an airplane as that would be SOOOOO expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
LOL! Awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] AmericanYakuza:
So would it kill Google to tell us, hey we are out of phones, the next shipment leaves in x days and you will get yours soon after? I'd be cool with that.
[Nexus 4 General] gallitoreds:
its easy to know where the phones are being made! anyone with one check their box... it should read somewhere the country of fabrication!!
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
I really doubt it was UPS that dropped the ball. They do this daily and they have done it in the same fashion.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
This sounds about right.:(
