yes 2-3 weeks man
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Yikes.

Are you serious? :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] shinnsd:
Yes, “Estimated Ship: 2-3 weeks”:)
[Nexus 4 General] kyleds:
Lol, just got a shipping number from UPS. And google wallet charged my card. And right after I said I could wait... Isn't that always the case! Now hopefully I actually get it :D
[Nexus 4 General] ketjr81:
Well I'm jealous of two of you with the 2-3 weeks, you are at the same point as me and I'm 1-2 weeks lol.

Either way, hope the phones really shipped! I'll just have to be jealous if you get yours first!

Order date: Nov 27, 2012 3:16:36 PM PST

Received shipping notification Dec 05, 2012 1:32AM PST
[Nexus 4 General] shinnsd:
Go get some sleep and hopefully you will get your shipping e-mail tomorrow when you wake up :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Just got my shipping number. When I go to track it, however, I get the following message:

>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

Is this common? Will it take about 24 hours just for the tracking number to be identified as valid?
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I tried to change my CC in google wallet so that there was only the new one in there but after several days i found that there was no attempt made to try and charge the new CC. So i switched it back and bought a nexus 7 on the same one i used with the nexus 4 proving that there is no CC error... plus they had charged my account on nov 13th..so i dont know why now they are saying there are billing issues...
[Nexus 4 General] ketjr81:
Oh, I got my shipping email along with most of the other 1-2 week guys last Friday. There are no clear answers if everyone's phones actually shipped though, some people said they got it and a lot of people said they didn't yet and there is no tracking.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Oh okk.. so your order is pending or pre-ordered??

my Canada one is pre-ordered even I ordered in 35 seconds..
[Nexus 4 General] cpaixao:
hahah are you being ironic??!
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
My order for the 13th is still saying pending...

Since the 2-3 weekers seem to be getting tracking now... I suppose i should just sign up for the 4-5 week one and expect shipping next week.

I theorize that major shipping occurs every tuesday/wednesday it has been the trend so far... If we LL3's dont get shipping today... then...then.. idk we're screwed
[Nexus 4 General] Hatzy:
Mine did take about 24 hours to lock on to my tracking number. In the meantime, I had the message that you're looking at. Now I've been staring at the yellow box of doom for the last 4 days. Hope and pray that you don't get hit with that.
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Really, these series of events are simply inexplicable.

Thanks and good luck! Let's hope we receive our packages by the end of the week.

Shipped! Email Date: Dec 5, 2012 1:02:00

I will be a happy man if I get it by Christmas
[Nexus 4 General] shedeverycolor:
I wouldn't worry about it. I've seen that happen for shipments in the past, seems like typical carrier lag since they are pushing so many orders in/out of their database.

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

I haven't been following all the shipping updates closely, so have all the people in the 1-2 week group who have received their shipping notices still not received their devices? I thought delivery would be ~2 days after they send that shipping notice out.
[Nexus 4 General] cphancock1:
tmobile is selling for $400 on contract! that is worse than what the ebayers are doing. youll end up spending $1000 for the phone.

dont care if this has already been posted.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Wasn't it $199??
[Nexus 4 General] shedeverycolor:
Seconded. I'm pretty sure the deal was $199 on-contract and $499 off-contract.
[Nexus 4 General] cpaixao:
Well, what can I do!? Google doesnt know Logistics enough. But I am happy that my phone will be shipped in dec 12-18, interval.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
8GB is now "Sold Out" in the UK but the 16GB is still 5 - 6 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] cphancock1:
nope 399 on contract they wouldnt let you buy 499 off contract i tried before. I guess since they sold out so fast they raised the price

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=Google-Nexus-4

add to cart and they make you select a plan. no off contract option. please check before you make snide/smart replies.

[Nexus 4 General] SupWiz17:
I ordered mine on NOV 27th at 2:58pm and at 3:33am this morning December 5 I got an email saying that my phone has shipped. When I placed my order the estimated shipping time was 2 to 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] FatPigs:
They either mistakenly shipped out labels (not orders) and is making us wait for it to actually ship or they did it intentionally to speed up the accounting. Either way, with the 2-3 week people shipping out, it seems that their batch is shipping out with ours (optimistically) and we both should get our devices soon.

I don't think it's likely Google is throwing out more shipping labels without orders for a second time. But, hey, they've done stupider things :p
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
By christmas?? You should receive it within two days if you've gotten shipping today.. Congrats i wish i was you right now
[Nexus 4 General] shedeverycolor:
I stand corrected, my apologies.

Why the heck would they do that...? Pushing customers to other devices?
[Nexus 4 General] Hatzy:
Nope. From what I'm reading here most 1-2 week'ers haven't received it yet and at least half are stuck on the YLoD for their tracking. I think a lot of people expected 2 day shipping after that notice went out. Clearly, that didn't happen because people wouldn't be going into crisis lockdown mode right now.

I'm actually confused too because I'm not sure what people are referring to when they say "shipping notices". I have a notice on Google Play saying that it shipped out (my bank account is 388 light so Google better have shipped it to UPS) but as far as UPS goes, I have diddly squat except for the yellow box and that it was billed/shipped on the 29th when the label was created. And yes, I'm in the 1-2 week group from the orders on the 27th. From what I'm gathering from all the posts is that there is a delay on UPS's end unless Goog lied and they don't have the stock to send to UPS (which many people here think they did). Then there have been posts where people are in the 1-2 week group saying they have gotten theirs. Some people are even saying that they've had their phones show up at their doorsteps with zero UPS tracking/notifications. So I don't know what the hell to think honestly. I'm not in a rush to get this thing, just don't like all the jerking around that's going on.

And I'm tired of seeing the yellow box not change to something more pleasing to the eye.....
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
I got shipping confirmation! I am a 2-3 weeker.
[Nexus 4 General] spiaggefredde:
order as in signature, received shipping mail an hour ago (don't have any other infos since i'm doing my purchase by proxy!).

whatever, 2-3 weekers probably shipping out from today!
[Nexus 4 General] cphancock1:
no problem sorry getting tired of the attitudes on xda and now im becoming one haha... but i think they are just trying to maximize profit the supply is well below the demand. or they had problems with people trying to buy and canceling there contract, either way this is just a rip off. a note 2 is a better deal than this
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
pretty much everything is a better deal than this...;)
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
So google has decided I am better of with a tablet rather than a phone right now. I never got into tablets how do people enjoy them if they aren't phones? I guess I will find out on Thursday or so.

[Nexus 4 General] jvanlew:
This. Exactly this for me too. Now, instead of a yellow box, I have a an orange one that screams EXCEPTION at me because I requested a trace... Lol. It'll come eventually I guess but I hate being jerked around as well.

I find them boring and awkward
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Ok so now that us 2-3 weekers are getting shipping emails, thats great :).

Im curious to know whether only orders with 1 device are getting shipped or also two device orders ? with the 1-2weekers it seemed like people who bought only 1 device got their orders shipped faster.
[Nexus 4 General] qortuba:
My Order date: Nov 27, 2012 3:01:30 PM PST

Estimated 2-3 weeks got the shipping email today.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Duplicate post***
[Nexus 4 General] Hatzy:
Good to know someone is trolling through the same muddy waters. Although I think you can keep the orange box. I don't want anything screaming at me. I don't want anything upsetting the delicate balance that is UPS right now :D But seriously, I don't even have an option to request a trace so once again, SNAFU on UPS. You know, I'm beginning to think the 1-2 week'ers are going to be the new 13th'ers. I just have this cruddy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Guess my G2X will have to do for the time being.

Woke up to another Google Play shipping email, thought that maybe they straightened out the shipping mess on my 27th order for a 16GB, nope its for my order on the 27th for a 8GB (4-5 weeks on email confirmation). I swear to god if Google has taken another $300+ of my money with no intention on shipping this out in a day or two I will go postal, or should that be UPStal.
[Nexus 4 General] xur17:
I just got a shipping notice for my 2-3 weeks 16gb.
[Nexus 4 General] grubbster:
If anyone knows anything about UPS shipping contracts please entertain my theory:

I don’t know why but I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this and had the idea that maybe these shipping anomalies we are seeing come from contract specs with UPS. I wonder if the contract Google entered with UPS for 2 day air shipping had the stipulation that X-number of units must be compiled before they put them on planes. Because of Google’s inept order process that is probably taking more time than anticipated. Couple that with the news stories that have said UPS in Louisville has not been able to fill many seasonal positions this year and this could explain the delays. It is possible that to get the best rate and maximize their profits by lowering their contract unit price with UPS, there is some sort of “batching” going on at UPS-SCS.

Man…..I have been thinking about this way too much and obviously have too much time on my hands! Just trying to entertain myself while I wait.

2-3 weeker here, got a tracking number in my email this morning.

edit: 1x16gb
[Nexus 4 General] cpaixao:
27th or 28th?
[Nexus 4 General] ultma75:
Nov 27, 2-3 week here got delivery notification
[Nexus 4 General] shifu12:
For all those 2-3 weekers that got their tracking number, mine was 1-2 week order that showed the tracking number last Thursday and the phone as yet to ship. So I wouldn't get your hopes up that it is actually shipping today. My tracking number still says the same thing...nothing! Google has charged my card too and nothing has shipped!
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
was there any 3-4 week period or it went straight from 2-3 weeks to 4-5 weeks??
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
According to this spreadsheet http://goo.gl/aGyWi there's no record of 3-4 weekers. It went straight to 4-5 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
On a plus note, the BBB have accepted my complaint about Google charging me and not shipping the phone. They have till 12/19/2012 to respond.
[Nexus 4 General] Antebellum:
same, and same, nothing more then the charge and the email shipped mail as of now. :/
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
thanks
[Nexus 4 General] swedrows:
yeah i am one of the 2-3 week orders and i am not expecting my order to be shipped anytime within the next solid week. i got the "shipped" email this morning at 3am for one of my orders (i placed 2 orders) and the other order I have not getten an e-mail yet. one of my credit cards got charged and the other one has the payment as "pending".

like i said, i am not expecting on getting a real shipment anytime soon since i know how smoothly this process has moved since i've been following all the posts on this thread since before thanksgiving :P

[Nexus 4 General] shallow70:
Status added to sig.

as of 12/5, no UPS update (YSOD). Talked to google support 12/5 and was told 'should definitely get it this week', per rep, per supervisor.

Asked to have 2 day shipping fee waved since it has been 2+ days from when charged and have been escalated to 2nd level.

If they had not billed me I would be good, but approaching this from the fact they should not have billed based on their policy.
[Nexus 4 General] geokuttan:
I filed for a claim on My UPS and last location was reported to be in my city. Hope this is a good news :)
[Nexus 4 General] Cwebb03:
I've had the same thing for the past 2 days. That doesn't mean anything at all.
[Nexus 4 General] bsteiner36:
Super Jealous

I live in Kettering, Ohio, ordered mine on 4:15PM EST on Nov 27th.

No email confirmation (which is understandable).

I used the technique when I ordered of clicking the process button numerous times until I was able to process the order. I believe Android Headlines posted it was a trick on Google +. Anyone else try this method on their order and get their shipping confirmation or the phone delivered?

Good luck to all.
[Nexus 4 General] nex4:
Holy Crap!

My 27th 2-3 week order just shipped and I have a tracking number.

My 13th order is still totally in Limbo!
[Nexus 4 General] isentropy:
This is getting absurd. Ordered 13 November. Got the backorder email. Got an email saying it will arrive by the end of the last week. No shipping estimate, tracking number or any sense of when it will arrive. Has now been sitting with a 'specialist', who has been looking into my 'case' for the best part of a week, like he's close-reading a Jane Austen novel. Customer service are, as everyone else has mentioned, completely powerless to do anything whatsoever.
[Nexus 4 General] stryker09:
Sent quite a few mails to the GPlay support team and have not gotten one response since last week. Nice.
[Nexus 4 General] shaundroid:
When you file a claim it adds your location (the local depot location) as the last point of activity. It has nothing to do with the actual package.

How did you do that?When i try to report a claim u have to fill some info on both From and Ships to fields!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
lol....tell them the BO email said within 3 weeks and that is also over now if you ordered on the 13th ...
[Nexus 4 General] stryker09:
I just filled the info out from the receipt I got from Google Play lol :p
[Nexus 4 General] ksc6000:
Ordered mine on the 27th. By spamming the enter key on Proceed.

They took the money out of my checking account over the weekend.

Still have the stupid yellow message: A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

Really annoyed. I won't be surprised if I don't get the phone until January, and won't be surprised if it's plagued by every issue (yellow tint, earpiece noise, rattling, high temp during idle..ect..).....thinking if I should just cancel my order and stick with my Galaxy Nexus and order my gf a gnex as well (she wanted my phone so I was getting the N4 and planning on giving my gnex to her).
[Nexus 4 General] geokuttan:
Just fill google's address for shipper's address...and your address as receiver...I am not sure if it is indeed in my city...

There is smoke on the plane...maybe my nexus 4 overheated :)...the cases i ordered for nexus will arrive today..what will I tell that poor case..."sorry Ups couldnt make it " :(
[Nexus 4 General] axion101:
i'm in the same situation as you. they keep telling me to verify the funds and transaction with my bank, which i've done twice now, and the update my payment and shipping information on wallet, which i've done 5+ times. i have several email chains going with several different specialists and they all say the same thing. i try to tell them that according to the google play CSRs the information on the ORDER ITSELF is incorrect and incomplete and if they would just run it according the correct address (which i list in the email) then it would go through just fine. they ignore me when i try to give them the solution, and just continue to tell me "update this update that." but there is nothing i can do to fix this.

i ordered one on December 2nd with a 6-7 week delivery time, so i figure i'll just get one in january.
[Nexus 4 General] stryker09:
I already got my case for my Nexus 4 and proly will get my screen protector before the actual phone comes. Damn.
[Nexus 4 General] DJPrelude:
I used that method and received my tracking number this morning.
[Nexus 4 General] 80centjack:
As a 2-3 weeker, this is the first good news I've seen for myself on here. As a human, it really sucks that there are people who ordered on the 13th who are still waiting. I will probably have my bank charge back the shipping on the phone since it's nonsense to pay 2 day shipping and wait the better part of a month to get your device.
[Nexus 4 General] axion101:
You can't change the CC or 'paid with' information after you have submitted the order. that is why my november 13 order is still in limbo, because despite changing and updating my billing address and shipping address in google wallet it does not update the actual ORDER that was submitted to google and google is too ****ing stupid to realize this. all they have to do is go into wallet and copy that information into the order that i submitted with them.

google play CSRs confirmed with me on the phone that my ORDER information does not match my wallet information and that is the reason for the failure, yet when I try to relay this to the "specialists" via email they just ignore me and tell me to update my wallet
[Nexus 4 General] hmanxx:
Hi,

Anyone order combination of phones ( 8GB +16GB). I got my USA friend to help order 2x16GB and 2x8GB phones on 27Nov,7:30pm, PST Time. The return email quoted 7-8 weeks. I believed Google picked the longest shipping time based on 8GB model as 16GB model at time of order ,wait time was 3-4weeks

Question:

1) Does Google actually wait for all stock(8GB +16GB) then ship or ship whatever is available ? Anyone has such ordering combination ?

2) Does Google allow cancelling of partial order ,for example keep 16GB models but cancel the 8GB version.

I seriously hope that Google will not wait till all combination available then ship ?

Anyone has similar ordering experience..do share..thanks

[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Who all here is from the 13th still? Now the second batch of 27th orders that had 2-3 week shipping time frame are getting shipping emails it is obvious that Google has screwed something up. There is something seriously wrong here and they continue to fail. You guys should get TOP priority. It has been over 3 weeks since you ordered. The backorder email said 3 weeks. At this point, I would just completely cancel and re order. No point in fighting them any more. That's what I would do, but I completely understand if you want to try to wait it out. IMO, you should get more than just free shipping as well. Has anyone composed a list of people that are still waiting from the 13th?
[Nexus 4 General] athani:
Sir, You authorised payment from a certain card. The merchant can't just help himself to payment from some other card of yours.

Recieved Shipping Email this morning

Shows shipped as of Dec 5th on Google Wallet. The shipping number however; isn't updated on UPS - oh well, they did warn me it takes upto 24 hrs to update.

Estimated ship time: 4-5 weeks

Order date: Nov 27, 2012 12:08:20 PM PST

I'm trying not to get too excited :silly:cos I see plenty of notes here about email confirmations about shipping - but they seem to waiting for invoice/packing lists:eek:.

Will post updates if I see any.
