2:21 PM EST, got shipping notification at 3:09 PM today. Tracking details just went live, but still not at the UPS facility.

Sorry to those who still haven't gotten any. Not bragging. Just alerting. Hopefully the other LL3 shipping labels are just being printed as we speak.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
It happened again!

Haven't heard anything but thanks for the update.

Doubting My Decision.

Still no email for me... :(

Pennsylvania, ordered 2:09:33 PM EST, 16GB Nexus 4, No Bumper.

Attempted to order another phone today with no success.

Coming out from the Apple World... (iPhone 2nd Gen -> iPhone 3G -> Nokia 2320 -> iPhone 4 -> Nokia 2320 -> LG Nexus 4 (Limbo 3) )

I question myself... is this all that the Google experience is about? waiting and waiting without any clue on your orders?

BTW. Has Anyone in the US been able to place an order for a Nexus 4 16GB on this launch?
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yup... Around 8pm
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
With 2nd Day you shouldn't expect an email today but instead tomorrow (as the day before delivery). Unless you're within the one-day delivery zone around Louisville. :)
[Nexus 4 General] clarksco:
Still no tracking email. The problem I have is that my Sprint account renews on Dec 1 or 2, and I want to cancel it before it renews and switch over to Straight Talk. In order to keep the same number, my Sprint account has to be active. Do I have to have the Nexus to activate Straight Talk and transfer my current number from Sprint, or can I do that without the phone and just the sim card?
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
This **** happened twice to me too worst feeling ever!!
[Nexus 4 General] thetinguy:
Wooooo. I got an order in. I am so excited, although waiting another few weeks sucks.
[Nexus 4 General] necksis:
Got a UPS My Choice alert for the Nexus 4 that appears to have already departed Kentucky earlier today. I never got a tracking number from Google, the Play Store still says "Pending", and my Wallet doesn't have any tracking details. It's definitely the phone though. Since I'm in Chicago it says it will be here tomorrow.

So if you haven't gotten an email from Google there is still a chance that your phone shipped today.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
12:34cst, still no shipping :(
[Nexus 4 General] eliteconcept:
at least you know you have to wait, unlike those of us who ordered thinking we'd have the phone in 3-5 days. Bamboozled by google.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Well it was a lot of hard fought battling but I managed to snag an 8 gig about an hour ago. I was frustrated to the point where I was going to take either one. Whichever actually went through first. Still trying to snag a 16 gig though but it's still throwing errors left and right but at least I'm not empty handed.
[Nexus 4 General] hisdigness:
Literally how I feel right now after finally getting to order!

LOL
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
*does the cabbage patch* Whoot whoot! Congrats :)
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
iPhone 3G and iPhone 2nd gen are the same phone. Do you mean iPhone 1st Gen - > iPhone 3G? Or iPhone 3G - > iPhone 3GS?
[Nexus 4 General] harsubs:
getting mine tomorrow!

I'm psyched!
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
This is so full of false hope for me. I signed up for UPS My Choice and haven't received anything yet. I'm also in the Chicago area so logistically it would make sense for both of ours to be shipping....
[Nexus 4 General] imeem:

[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Great news! mark another one off the list
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I have a tracking # now from a company called "GOOGLE ANDROID CO UPS-SCS", but Google never emailed me and Wallet still says my order is pending.

****, just tracked it, and it is already in NYC. Early Shipment tomorrow. I guess there still is hope for everyone!

Thankful that I paid for the premium membership to UPS MyChoice.
[Nexus 4 General] h41cyon:
Wow, that worked within 20 seconds. (Had debugger console open and noticed I sent out over a thousand requests). I'm thinking google realized that Wallet could not handle the loads coming in from the Play store, so they made 'windows' where orders could get passed through. If you are lucky enough to click exactly when the window was open, then you'd get forwarded on. Otherwise, you'd have to wait till the next window.

Hitting enter pretty much spams the receiver with a constant flow (and perhaps backlog) of requests so that when the next window does open, and a request can be served, your thousand or so are the only ones in the queue. More requests, better chances.

I get the design, but man, I could have saved myself hours today if I would have done this earlier.

This all could have been resolved if Google just did a damn pre-order, and served everyone in order.
[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
Just need the SIM card.
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Meh, mine shipped out today with two day shipping. I hope UPS doesn't lose this package...
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:

Ordered a 16gb Nexus 4. :). I was finally able to order at 5:20 pm EST using IE 9.

I dont have 40$ at the moment to spend on premium.. sigh.
[Nexus 4 General] jtc276:
If you haven't received a shipping notification from Google, be sure to sign up for UPS MyChoice (the free version). If your Nexus is, in fact, shipping, the title should look something like this:
[Nexus 4 General] polovinamozga:
Whats wrong?Every time when i try to Proceed i get:

Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later.
[Nexus 4 General] las5muertas:
I ordered 2 instead of 1. Can that still be changed without canceling?
[Nexus 4 General] ensboarder:

My life for Aiur
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Shipping time frame for the 8gb is now 6-7 weeks... Up from 4-5 weeks. WHAT THE FUC|<!

I actually got an order in, but it was a 16gb by mistake and now I can't get the 8gb to go through so I can cancel my 16gb.... =|

I would just let both come and sell the extra on eBay, but I don't feel like that will be a gravy train that will run long enough for me to benefit from it.
[Nexus 4 General] PancakeFace22:
I've been lurking in this thread for over a week and decided I would register since I just received my tracking number from UPS My Choice (nothing from Google yet though).

I ordered one 8gb Nexus 4 and nothing else on the 13th at 5:05PM CST. I received my backorder email on the 15th, and I have been LL3 ever since.

I just got my email from UPS at 4:45PM CST with tracking info stating that I can expect early delivery tomorrow (I live in north Alabama). I am not expecting any other packages, and the shipper is GOOGLE ANDROID CO UPS-SCS. Departure scan from Louisville, KY was at 5:13PM.

Still no email from Google with tracking info. My Google Play account still says Pending under status, and my Google Wallet still has the transaction listed as pending.

Hope this info is helpful to someone out there still stuck in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] jian9007:
Just a ton of traffic, that's all. Remain calm and tab over to highlight the proceed button, hold enter for a few seconds or more, wait, repeat. That's what many of us did and my order is in and I'm over the mother F'in moon about it.
[Nexus 4 General] wawacoffee:

I received the same message. I succeeded after switching to IE 9 and repetitively clicked proceed. Ordered a 16gb N4 at 5:20 pm EST.

Good luck !!

[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Finally got an 8gb on order at 3:12 PST. Not sure if I should also cancel my 16gb order. I think I'm going to wait and see what's up first. I'm about to call Google to tell them to refund me for my first phone I ordered on the 13th that UPS lost on delivery day.

[Nexus 4 General] idividebyzero:
Why do people think it will be midnight? Midnight releases are due to sales embargoes put on retail stores so they dont break street date, they sell at midnight as a way to stay competitive with other stores.

Why would Google need to worry about breaking the street date of their own product selling exclusively on their website? Theyre going to sell it at their leisure.

East coasters should probably be going to bed early and waking up around 7, not staying up till 3am and waking up later.

I don't pay for My Choice either, and still get alerts. If it never works for you then you may need to make sure that you enter in any correct "aliases" for names that might appear on the package.

[Nexus 4 General] toonhead85:
I have three questions:

1) where are the orders being shipped from, and how much would a phone + bumper weigh?

2) is it common for Google to have orders shipped w/o any update Google Wallet/Play and the charges still be "pending" 24 hours at the bank?

3) i signed up for UPS My Choice and did a search which came back w/ two packages to my area, but I used "david" which is a very common name so it could not be my order. any tips on narrowing it down a bit to see if that 1.10 lbs package is for me?
[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
Why do I get the feeling that my phone will show up tomorrow and I will get the shipping notification a few hours after I get it?
[Nexus 4 General] chiensibut:
Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later. " keep trying? or too late?
[Nexus 4 General] Web-head:
For those that placed orders for more than one phone separately, check your tracking.

I placed 2 orders for 16gb and only received one email for shipping for one of the orders, and one tracking number. I checked Play Store and only one order said shipped and the other said Pending, and in Wallet only one had shipping info, while the other still said Order received on Nov 13th.

I just used the tracking number that I did get and it says that it's for two packages. I didn't order a bumper so it has to be the other phone.

If you placed more than one order and only got one email, check to see if the shipment is more than one package. You may have gotten both sent and they just didn't update the other order on Play or Wallet to reflect it.

Unreal...

[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
don't use your mouse. Tab over to the proceed button and hold down enter and don't let it go until the window to pay for it pops up. Basically you gotta spam the proceed button and it's faster to hold down enter vs clicking with your mouse.

I turned away to plug in my gnex which is by now dead from all the play store spamming, turned back to look and voila, the google wallet popup was there :D
[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
