Did anyone see how on the U.S. shipping information that someone posted on Reddit, it said that Google was shipping from FedEX? Hopefully this is true. FedEX is much better and ships on Saturdays.

I think you will be all set. Based on all the people complaining about the glass back non removable battery, no LTE; I feel like it's not gonna be very popular. I feel like you will be safe up until around 7 or 8 when most "normal" people wake up. But then again, I could be very wrong. Its tough because most people are either in love with it or they hate it. Kind of like the iPhone I might add if thats not too much of a sin.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
Personally this notion that they will be sold out in hours is unlikely. This is not the Iphone 5 where the masses were clamoring to order. Keep in mind, we here at XDA are the overall minority. Only the real enthusiasts will be looking for this phone. Hell, every single person I've run into in the last few weeks said they never heard of it(when I said I was getting a new phone).

When you say to someone, "I'm getting a new phone". They immediately respond with, "getting the new Iphone"? NO! Im not getting the $***ing Iphone! lol :D

We'll order it on the 13th and we'll all be fine. The rest of the world won't have a clue. :D

EDIT: That being said, I'm getting up early :D:cool::highfive:

I'm pretty sure that's fake. Super easy to do.

Also compared it with a recent purchase from Play-- noticed there wasn't a colon after "package" like there was on that picture. Takes half a brain to change the wording to whatever you want from within the browser and then snap a pic.

Just not buying it. He's the only one to come out and say it was shipped, then it comes FedEx, and to top it off, he orders way later than anyone else. Also, relatively new Reddit account with no karma.

I just got back from the local t-mobile store. I currently have a regular sim in my Galaxy S 4G so I went there to pick up a micro sim so that when my phone arrives (hopefully Friday?!) I can pop the sim in, activate it and be good to go. The previous messages about t-mobile giving you a sim for free when you are in contract is true; I'm on the value plan so no subsidized phone madness, but i am in contract. The problem is that they won't give you a micro sim in the store and then let you activate it later when the phone arrives, they will only activated the sim in the store which of course disables the sim in my current phone. Since I don't have a micro sim adapter (and they had none in the store), I'm stuck waiting until my new phone arrives and then I have to go back in to pick up my free micro sim. Way to go t-mobile, always gotta make it tough on the customer... :(

I had my G-Nex on that 10$ AT&T unlimited data plan. I'm banking it still works until AT&T buys IMEI from Google or LG.
[Nexus 4 General] lwfb:
I am inclined to agree with you.

$14 for shipping and it's going to take them a week (from my time of purchase) to process and ship.

Google experiencing technical difficulties yesterday is not my problem. I paid for a service that I am not receiving, so I'm a little upset at the moment. Technical difficulties aside, they had no problem charging me $14 for 2 day shipping that I am not receiving.

Like you have pointed out, other online retailers will have your item in your hands within the stated shipping time frame.

If I buy something from Amazon and use Prime, I'll choose overnight shipping for $3.99 and my item will be at my doorstep within 24 hours of ordering.

The fact I gave Google nearly $400 means I do expect a few things. It's been almost 32 hours since I made my purchase and I (like many of you) have not been provided a tracking number!

Like I said, Google not being adequately prepared for this launch is not my problem but they are passing their shortcomings on to us, their customers. They had similar issues with the Nexus 7 and should have known better.

If they are going to be in the retail game, they have to live up to customer expectations and ultimately answer to us, the customer. Look how many paying customers were turned away! That's absolutely ridiculous. It's as if all of a sudden, Google is allergic to logical thinking and acceptable business practice!

We should have been provided with pre-order opportunities a few weeks ago and those devices should have been at their owner's doorstep yesterday. We should have been given a concrete time for orders to be placed yesterday, rather than the fustercluck it turned in to (partly due to CSR giving customer's false information...). Google should have anticipated the launch and over stocked, it's not like it launched in every nation on Earth, only in places with Play Store support. Google should have anticipated the traffic and allocated as many resources as possible to the Play Store. I hate to say it, but perhaps Google should take a look at how Apple handles a major product launch. Say what you will, but Apple knows how to move merchandise... Are you telling me that Google simply did not have enough resources on hand for what was arguably the biggest product launch in their history?

This monumental flop of a launch and the poor way it's being handled in the aftermath has shaken my confidence in Google, plain and simple.

Full disclosure, I own a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 and I had an Nexus One back when it was launched. I'm invested in the ecosystem and will not be leaving my beloved Android, despite this fiasco. I just expected better from Google, that's all... what with their motto being "Don't Be Evil".
[Nexus 4 General] nighthawkca:
I had a feeling that the rep in the store was making this too hard. He kept saying that customer service was wrong when they told me I could just go pick one up at the store. Sounds like he was the one that was wrong in not giving it to me. Arghhh.

No smart guy you know what delayed the processing THE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PHONES THEY SOLD why else do you think the process would take so long. If this was a simple little jacket that gets 1 sold every few weeks then i could see how they should be able to process it within the day if not less. So your logic is pretty damn flawed.

Someone with a logical train of thought THANK YOU ive always been with nexus since the beginning and ive been with android since day 1 with my G1 all i was saying is of its gonna take so long to ship then i couldve paid regular ground shipping.

Our general consensus in this thread is that the photo is most likely fake. Due to the fact that Google Play states that all packages use UPS shipping. Also the person ordered pretty late compared to others.

[Nexus 4 General] KentuckyHouse:
Look, I feel ya man. But if you think $13.99 is expensive for 2 day shipping via UPS, then you obviously haven't shipped with them lately. I use UPS all the time (to ship phones I sell on here) and $13.99 is a bargain. Generally for a phone in this price range, with insurance, you're talking in the $20-25 range. And that's for regular ground. Go in tomorrow and ask them what it would cost to ship a phone and get it across the country in 2 days and see what they say. I'm guaranteeing you it's way more than $13.99.

[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
I gotta agree with the previous few posts about the shipping. It should have been done yesterday for the 2 day shipping price we're paying. Wait till you get your device, complain google CSR and ask to be reimbursed shipping costs. If they don't simple dispute the difference with your credit card company. We all have emails saying what day we ordered, and the price we paid specifically for 2-day shipping.

It's kind of sad that the only way to get heard is by non-conventional means. CSR won't care, and even if they did, they probably don't even have the capability to do anything.
[Nexus 4 General] soulz:
I heard CSR were able to refund Nexus 7 buyers the shipping cost.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:

Me, too. Bad Google
[Nexus 4 General] ohaaron:
Although I think it's ridiculous to take two days to process an order before shipping, Google does state that there can be up to two days of processing time before shipping. The two day shipping that you paid for is a UPS commitment that states that your package will arrive at your door within two BUSINESS days of it being received by UPS. Therefore, Google still has all of tomorrow to ship the phone & then UPS can take up to two BUSINESS days to get it to you without any of their policies being violated. I don't like it, but that's the way it is. Amazon doesn't even take 5 hours to process my Amazon Prime orders. Google, unfortunately, is really slow at processing goods.
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
You paid knowing it's up to 2 business days processing, what are you talking about.
[Nexus 4 General] Nshih422:
Lol I was really upset at first because I sold my galaxy s3 and when I realized I didn't get one because the play store was being stupid I freaked. Then I saw them being sold at T-Mobile so I called 20 stores before I found one that had it and I literally flew there to get it lol.

I got used to the weight of the s3 and it's heavier than that. Not quite as heavy as the HTC amaze which is what I used prior. It's feels great though.
[Nexus 4 General] hello00:
you do know that google has nothing to do with the shipping information right? fedex have million of packages to handle every single day, and more because it is getting close to christmas fedex immediately forwards it to the nearest distribution center for sorting and processing.. once fedex provides the tracking number, it will notify google and google will automatically send you the shipping information so dont get all angry and blame it on google because google is not a delivery service company, fedex is so please quit beaching and wait for your package like all of us are doing.

[Nexus 4 General] djsaad1:
That 2 day shipping price really isn't that much. Go into a ups store and try to ship a phone with 2 day shipping, unless you have a high volume account with UPS it will be at least twice the amount we paid. Either way we are still going to be getting 2 day shipping, the question is how long until they ship it.

I am not sure you can request a refund on 2 day shipping when they actually ship it with 2 day shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] GoreTan:

[Nexus 4 General] venturizhou:
I don't understand why people are up it arms? It says on the Play Store that it will take between 3-5 business days for the product to arrive? That means the earliest will be Friday and the latest it will Tuesday. I understand that we all paid for two day shipping but I'm sure its chaos at Google right now. They have to confirm with people about canceled orders in case they ordered multiple devices. Then they have resolve issues with payment if people's money didn't clear.

Google is still relatively new to selling hardware directly. It's not fair to compare to Amazon which has had years to refine it's system to become efficient. #firstworldproblems
[Nexus 4 General] nighthawkca:
yeah, wild west, lol! Each rep definitely gives you a different answer.

I went to the t- mobile store by my house to check the N4 the phone is nice and fast but I swear ever since I start using the note 1 now every phone I touch feel way too small in my hand plus I think they waste too much space on the bottom were the buttons are, I think I'm just going to sell my 8gb N4 when i get it and just buy the note 2 :confused:

that would be a stinker for me if it's already shipped but they're holding off on tracking numbers. I need to call in and give them one of my tracking numbers ( have two on the way) so they can cancel my 8 gig order. If that doesn't pan out I'll have to refuse delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] jhawkins002:
There were some who ordered the Nexus 7 around it's launch date who claimed to have gotten the shipping notice on the day of, or even after the device arrived on their doorstep due to communication delays. Here's hoping - if those stories were true - we get some repeat performances!
