<----Off to update my tracking number. Can't wait till it shows up!
[Nexus 4 General] aeson:
Same here. Ordered around 8:32AM PST and he asked if I ordered more than one and told him I only ordered one 16gb. He also said If I don't get a tracking number by today or tomorrow then I have to wait 3 weeks for it.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
So...basically, Google is a ****up incompetent company? :)
[Nexus 4 General] yokken:
Yep, I keep pulling up Excel and Outlook when I hear someone about to walk by my cube.
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
I'm in the same boat as you man. I ordered exactly 5 seconds before that. Still hoping for a tracking number today though.
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
and how shall I go about this
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
This is me at my desk -- with a computer monitor on XDA and Google Play! lol

[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
So what does this mean?
[Nexus 4 General] DaX05:
I have already tracking on mine, luckily.

But they must of sent that email stating its backordered so people can cancel and then they would ship complete on the others. What a strategy.

Beamed via rasbeanjelly & trinity
[Nexus 4 General] lianglqufo:
Maybe they will give your shipping money back by play store credit or something.

Just saying.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
I know.. Just posted for those who don't know. :)
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
call a CSR, they're so backed up right now they'd probably say ok just to get you off the line.
[Nexus 4 General] mattlehrer:
I ordered two 16GB units in the same order at 11:34:15 EST. I got my Play Store order receipt by 11:36 AM.

My order status still says "Pre-ordered" and I have NOT received a back order email YET. I assume I will though since I ordered more than one device. My Amex was pre-authed on the 13th, but they have not charged my card for anything yet. Also I have not received anything from UPS My Choice to expect a delivery.

This is another fail just like with the Nexus 7 pre-orders. I pre-ordered two weeks in advance but didn't get my N7 for 4 weeks. Meanwhile people ordering units AFTER it went on general sale got their units weeks before me. Google needs to out-source their fulfillment process to somebody who knows how to do FIFO processing.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
Regarding 2nd Air Shipping

Not sure if it will apply to this set of shipments... Anyway, last month I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from the Google store. It took a couple of days for the order to get processed (just like it's happening here). Then it got shipped immediately after from KY. I live in Boston and I got the phone the next day. So if all is OK, you live in a major metropolitan area in the East Coast, and you're one of the lucky ones to get the phone, you might get the phone later tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] djpharoah:
Oh man - think I'm definitely getting one - however last time I did the Notify me thing on the play store for the Gnex car dock it never did and I missed out.

Does it look like the time will be 9am PST on Tuesday?
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
I was going to cut the sim and all of that but I ended up just going to the at&t store and they handed me one right after I asked and then I was out. Just get it from your carrier, it's not that hard at all.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
If you dont think it will work, or unsure of trying, you could always go into your phone shop and get them to do it - they will tell you if it won't.
[Nexus 4 General] djpharoah:
Just go to the carrier of your choice and get a sim from them.
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
I did cut 5 other SIMs that were the same but I'm still not confident enough to be sure that it won't damage my activated SIM.

When I get the Nexus 4 I'll find out the hard way I guess:good:
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
I cut my T-mobile sim a while back with a Noosy cutter and it still works fine.
[Nexus 4 General] Plexicle:
I've been cutting SIM cards with knives and scissors for years. Never once had an issue.
[Nexus 4 General] TrueBrush:
Just grow some balls and cut the SIM ffs, not exactly a high tech task, and people actually pay for cutters to cut the stupid card once?
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
I've cut about 10 sim cards for different people with my cutter. Well worth the $5 I spent on it.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Charge them a quarter for one cut.

Here's a countdown: Date Countdown - LG Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] whahn1983:
Some T-Mobile stores will swap out a regular sim card for a micro for free. At least mine did.
[Nexus 4 General] mrhaddan:
:fingers-crossed: Can't wait! That's going to be my new home page.
[Nexus 4 General] liorra3:
nop, i used the cutter more then 10 times, and its work fine, its will be hard work to demage the sim ...
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Same here. I told them that I was upgrading to a new phone, but I saw on the receipt that they put "lost/stolen sim." I think that may have been the reason for it being free, which's nice on their part :)
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
lol maybe if we are lucky google might include free wireless charger as gift lol, also has anybody found a place that sells nexus 7 cases cause i checked amazon but only pre-order avaliable.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
You wish.

And you mean nexus 4...? not 7...
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
i see Nexus 7 cases on Amazon.. no pre-order..

I guess you mean Nexus 4

:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Dsrtstorm:
Just got information from my tracking number added, if I'm reading this right...I should have the phone tomorrow:eek:?
[Nexus 4 General] fodawim:
A rep said this to me just now.

"If you don't receive your tracking number by the 17th then your phone is on backorder."

So, no clue.
[Nexus 4 General] Simer03:
I ordered two of them but the guy I called this morning about 5 hours ago said everything on my end looked good and I'll get both probably Monday, but now I'm seeing people who ordered more than one are getting the backorder emails! Shi*!!! I haven't gotten the email tho....yet.....

Backordered

I ordered it the day it went live......got my Backordered e-mail. I'm pissed.
[Nexus 4 General] lianglqufo:
Wait....

So everybody who ordered Nexus 4 will get a BO Email?

I just got mine this afternoon and the status on Play store is estimate ship on Nov 15.

What does this mean?
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
I'm noticing a pattern here...2 more days...and then 2 more days..it's like a kid asking for an extension on their homework.
[Nexus 4 General] NexusIncarnate:
Damn. Got the backordered email. :( I know people who ordered later than me who got their shipping info too. This bites.
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
Oh cmon guys, don't you see..... Google Play CS Reps say whatever they want..
[Nexus 4 General] jtc276:
I ordered one and got back ordered, so obviously they're not just sending it to those who purchased multiple devices.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
I'm in Indy too. Do we know each other?

What time did you order?
[Nexus 4 General] timskyline86:
Will these require signatures?
[Nexus 4 General] juventuss:
Most likely Monday
[Nexus 4 General] jining:
So, I wonder if they ship all the orders daily from the shipping facility at once? If they do then I think everyone that hasn't gotten an order # may be ****ed, including me.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
my N7 did not. UPS left it on my porch
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I did NOT get a BackOrder email.....but the Google CSR said it will come Saturday and be delivered by a Pegasus! So I know they are telling the truth there!

Then again, I have no idea where you're located. Just hoping to see that it gets scanned today in a location close by me.
[Nexus 4 General] Dsrtstorm:
Well, either way I'm just glad my order got through and finally shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Let's all post the status of our shipments right here. Every step, from the UPS guy picking his nose, to still sitting on the warehouse floor :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
My order showed as "Completed" and went through at 12:52PM EST 16GB, Backordered note came in today.

Since I actually do have upgrades on both my lines I called one of the TMo near me in NYC just for kicks and they said every TMo in the city is out of stock, about 4 weeks to get more. If they had one I would have put myself under another 2-years on my line to get it, but nope.

I suggest if you have a backorder DO NOT CANCEL if you want the phone. You'll be first in line when Google gets more.
[Nexus 4 General] haydonxda:
This is important now - did the CSR rep say "by a Pegasus" or "with a Pegasus"?

I'm gettin' me a Pegasus!!!

[Nexus 4 General] tian105:
you mean you got the back ordered email and a tracking number?
[Nexus 4 General] Blaaammmm:
I just got off the phone with a CSR to verify my order status as I got my order in really late at [November 13, 2012 11:54:13 AM UTC-5] and still had a "Pending" under Wallet and "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012" in the Play store. She was able to tell me definitively that my order had cleared the back-order status, and would be shipping out tonight. Also note I haven't gotten an email with my tracking number yet, so for everyone worrying I would just give them a call.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Rep just told me that if we had gotten the back order email by now then that's it. Anyone else still waiting will get it tonight in actuality...But we know how far those reps reputation with honest and knowledgeable information goes -__-
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
It seems like I need this phone to get here sooner than anyone else. You all are coming from awesome phones compared to me.

I'm still on the first and only smartphone I've ever owned. The Boost Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy Prevail... It's total crap. So you all should be happy you at least have, or did have, useable phones to keep you happy while you wait.

[Nexus 4 General] jining:
Thats the ridiculous part, how are they even doing this if they aren't doing first come first serve?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I haven't gotten ANYTHING from Google except for that stupid Door buster spam mail.

No confirmation.

No shipping.

No backorder.

WTF? Even the CS is scratching their head.

Does anyone know anything at Google?

I had hope in these guys. I'm sorry but their image has suffered for me with this fiasco.

Well at least my 32gb N10 left Kentucky this afternoon. I was actual looking forward to that much much more so than the N4. The phone was really more of an afterthought for me. I was always way more anxious to get my hands on the new tablet, looks to be a much more exciting upgrade (my old GTab 10.1 to N10) than would be my GNex to N4.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Is there an estimated delivery date there? I think UPS 2nd Day Air ships on Saturdays.
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
If it departed and I still have no info then I guess I'm either back-ordered or missed the shipment and will have to wait an extra day... Seriously..
[Nexus 4 General] brocabortzfield:
Mine says the same...I think 2nd Day Air does deliver on Saturdays...don't quote me though.

Only if the they desire that service. There is 2day regular and sat services.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
guys, the reps will say anything at this point, I don't think we'll really know until the morning and they have to update all the status tags in their system.

There is no point in calling anyways, they cant do anything for you anyways. at this point it is either shipped or it isn't.

I'm in Wisconsin ... With it departing this early in the day, I'm thinking I will have it tomorrow

Here's my issue reps are saying if you didnt get a back order email you're in the clear, but what if you havent gotten anything, my order has shown pending and shipping nov 15 since i placed the order at 1057 AM CST, and my bank is holding the preauth charge. So the reps are saying if you havent received the back order email your fine, but if you havent received a shipping notification and havent seen wallet move, then the logical assumption is that your order isnt processed and if thats the case then essentially you will be backordered since theres no phones left available. only difference is that you were left to wonder all these past hrs.
[Nexus 4 General] DaX05:
I received my tracking and its in transit. I was just speaking in general on that email that you guys are getting regarding the backorder.

[Nexus 4 General] biggiephat:
They can at least look and see if your phone went out or the system screwed up and sent you the bo email. Anything is possible at this point.

Ordered on the 13th at 8:40 AM here in California, order is still pending. No shipping email or back ordered email.... just still pending!

I've called google both days and they give me the same run-around, just to wait another day. They said nothing is wrong with the order, but their system is on overload trying to produce tracking information for everyone.

I guess I'll wait one more day and see!
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
I think the explanation that makes the most sense right now is this:

1) They have too many orders and can't ship them out soon enough.

2) Knowing that they can't make their own shipping deadline of the 15th, they decided to notify everyone whose orders have not yet shipped that it will be delayed.

3) So they did this by setting the backorder flag (maybe because they don't have one for "delayed"?) on all unshipped orders.

This is based on the fact that virtually everyone got such an e-mail and also based on some of the CSR responses that people have posted online.

If this is the case, then the "3 weeks" is really an "up to that long". It could still ship out in a few days, depending on where you are in the shipping queue. And this would also mean that "backorder" is really not the correct term for them to have used, since that implies that they are out of stock and are awaiting new shipments where in reality they have the stock but just can't ship them out in a timely fashion.

Well, assuming that the above theory is correct. Which I certainly hope is the case...

[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
There is no estimated delivery date on the UPS page. I'd probably have to call, but I'm assuming delivery will be on Monday because they count it as 2 "Business" days.

I was also told it was a bulk email to all not shipped. They said if you ordered multiple units on the same order that you are almost sure to get backordered and single units should ship soon.

Yup so many of us are in this same situation, and with all the misinformationi flying around who really knows whats going on...
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
This is my conclusion:

If you get an email stating that your order is backordered, then that is self explanatory.

If you didn't, there's a chance that your order might ship later tonight. Don't worry too much if your status is showing as ' pre-ordered '. There is a user on here that got his order shipped even though his status showed pre-ordered.

There is absolutely no point in calling google rep. I've done so many times myself, and 99% of the time they will just give you a generic answer OR an unclear answer.

They do NOT have access to checking whether or not your order is still going through / backordered.

Supervisors & managers do NOT have access to that either.

All we can do is wait.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
LOL...nicely done.
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
