Shrug?

So i was one of the "F5 guys" who got in a little later than most.

November 13, 2012 10:31:06 AM UTC-8

I've gotten the BackOrder email, play store shows the 15th as shipping, charges have dropped off my card, etc...

Guess i'll just hold out and see what happens.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
Literally just received my shipping info! Order placed 8:49 pst. Tracking says the label was made yesterday. Guess I'm getting it Monday. Really hoped I would get it today, oh well
[Nexus 4 General] BLAQK ROXSTAR:
Update

Just got the confirmation for my second Nexus. I was in limbo. To those still in limbo keep hope alive.

Seems they are going in order here.

[Nexus 4 General] darkamikaze:
Hmm.. my case doesn't support the before 8:35PST theory?

I ordered my N4 at 0833 PST. Out for delivery today :o ... It's interesting. I also bought a Nexus10 at around 12 and it's arriving today as well X-x.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
That's what I have noticed. Most of us who ordered at that time or earlier have not receive any information from Google. Hopefully we will get ours soon!!
[Nexus 4 General] M0D3RNAFR0:
It shipped! Just got my email! North Jersey ordered 8:45:46
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Those of use who ordered at 8:35 PST or earlier were henceforth known as the Forgotten.
[Nexus 4 General] moneyslap03:
okay just Called a Customer service they indeed sent my order out, the lady said she had a tracking number for me although the money was placed out of my account... Makes me want to take the money out from this long wait and receive my device lol

Team Limbo sucks! :crying:

Ah but you see, no healthcare is free... you pay for it in taxes!
[Nexus 4 General] dubt17:
3 mins added ;) getting closer to my time. For those who have ordered at 10:30-5 or whatever, I'm pretty sure yours have shipped, or the servers crashed then. I'm not sure, just guessing
[Nexus 4 General] grkfire:
Finally, out of limbo w/shipping info. Now I have to wait until Monday......ugh... :( At least I know it's on the way! Good luck everyone!
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
All these other limbo people getting their tracking numbers....

I'm thinking about doing the same thing, but it'll just add 28 bucks to the total and count it as an overdraw.
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Exactly, 13% tax is no fun here in Canada
[Nexus 4 General] kkiran:
Guess what guys, Google did this 'select * from orders order by dateordered desc' and then they realized that it is wrong after about 3 days. Now they are manually trying to send out confirmation orders with a later ship date.

j/k
[Nexus 4 General] menting:
just got 1 of my 2 orders shipped.

My order was placed at 11:33 am EST
[Nexus 4 General] DarkSi08:
Well, if it's any consolation, it seems like they're moving right along today, for a change!
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
it seems like or we might get it today without notice just a hope lol :silly:

yes yes

Still in limbo ... limbo dance ... get down and do the. limbo dance ... get your limbo shoes on ... limbo limbo limbo

... ugh seriously now that I'm past the 2 business days mark I'm going email google and possibly call them later.

FOREVER LIMBO.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I wonder if they ship according to the first letter of your last name... rather than first come, first serve basis.

Ah... what am I saying. * rolls eyes *
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
You are not the only one feeling like that. Hopefully we will get our tracking numbers soon!!
[Nexus 4 General] snavid972:

1 phone + 1 bumper = ?

2 phone =?
[Nexus 4 General] gadgetfann:
I cancelled my 2nd order for a 16GB last night and got a shipping notice for my 1st 16GB order this morning. The orders were placed at 8:54am and 8:57am.
[Nexus 4 General] megapixle:
8:35 a.m. order here, still representing Team Limbo well.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Well my first name starts with an R and last name starts with an O... lol.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I would be even more pissed it turned out they were just choosing randomly... But it could be a possibility.
[Nexus 4 General] cornrooster:
just got my shipping email! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
That is the case it seems. 8:35 PST here. Nothing... Like at all.

I'd forgive Google for their blunders but the fact that early buyers are getting shafted is what makes my blood boil. I'm infuriated by this. I should have the damn phone TODAY.
[Nexus 4 General] shadymouse:
Just got my shipping confirmation. Makes me wonder if Google shipped these devices according to region. Who here from the East Coast are receiving their devices today? Or got their shipping confirmation today?

Called earlier, Rep said wait... sent an email to Google asking for status.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
did u get the tracking from google or something else, or did u order two phones or something
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
my email from google said the were going first come first...which I think we've established is BS.

So I read a few people got their money back into their bank? Why?

I did as well.
[Nexus 4 General] Web-head:
That's just SQL. Could write that query in just about any DB. Doesn't have to be Sybase.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkSi08:
Nah. Last name is Taylor, and I got mine.

Also, to update everyone, magically, there's tracking info already.

Label was created yesterday, as I said earlier.

Picked up from origin in KY at 12:04pm on 11/16.

Estimated delivery - 11/19. I wanted it today, but I'm fine with Monday. I'll just have to cry myself to sleep all weekend, reminding myself that, hey, at least I know I'll have it on Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] namartlu:
Got my tracking number finally! Ordered at 836 am pst, received email today 835 pst! Exactly 72 hours, coincidence?

It's 16 gb with bumper case, shipping to San Diego.

Confirmation email received around 9 am pst on the 13. No bo email. Google play status estimate shipping on 15. Google wallet said pending, haven't checked now...
[Nexus 4 General] darkamikaze:
Once you keep ordering from Google you learn a few things.

Don't pay with PayPal for a possible delay of shipment.

Don't order your device with accessories in the same order for a possible delay of shipment.

Don't highly anticipate getting it in 2 days ):

Learned my lesson well in the Nexus 7 debacle of '79. Lost an arm and a leg.....So many good men...
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Your package has been delivered to a UPS Retail Location. A government issued I.D. may be required when retrieving your package.

Hold on funds was likely only for 72 hours. No need for concern.

2 phones, 1 bumper = 3.3lbs
[Nexus 4 General] newbienic:
I got a shipping notification for my bumper! but still none for the phone. Says bumper should be here monday. Makes no sense that they would ship that first, I ordered that like 20 min after the phone.:laugh::(:silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Okay... so it's not first come first serve basis... doesn't have anything to do with the first letter of your last name... so they ARE just picking at random! D:
[Nexus 4 General] kkiran:
I am a MySQL guy. Do you mean to say that Google uses Sybase for this? I am just trying to entertain myself with this Google screwup. Ordered within 5 minutes and yes, Team Limbo!

[Nexus 4 General] LazyLeung:
Just got my shipping info after being in limbo! Finally!
[Nexus 4 General] Geauxn:
I'm in Georgia, order was placed at 11:33AM ET, and still in limbo. I didn't have to refresh once when ordering, nor did I get an error. Completely smooth transaction.

I'm not really understanding why others who ordered after me have gotten shipment confirmations, but very little with Google's ordering process had made sense. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
so a bumper weighs more than a phone...?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I wonder why PAYPAL would be slower... than other type(s) of debit card?

Just got my shipping confirmation email from Google!

UPS My Choice says it will be delivered EOD today, everything else is saying Monday, so I don't know there.

Even though it is on it's way, I still no longer have the charge from my bank for the phone. It would be crazy to get this phone for free.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I paid with my Paypal Debit card and it was 11:45 am est time of order and its still pending in my account and not one email Google:(

[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
I just called them. We understand your frustration and ur order still in the process. Can I get a refund? No sir you can't cancel or get a refund. So what I have to do right now? When you receive your package just refuse it :D I was going to tell him wtf :D But I said I will be nice :D
[Nexus 4 General] locsplitter:
It hasn't been taken back yet, the money that is. It's still refunded in my account w/ no authorizations pending.
[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
this is BS how come those people that ordered more than 5 devices are getting theirs ship. just pathetic.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Thanks bud.

Still waiting on Google. /:
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Wouldn't that be nice?

"We're sorry for completely ****ing up your order, Sir or Madam. Please accept this full refund for our complete incompetency!

Enjoy your product!"
[Nexus 4 General] locsplitter:
Anyone from MA get confirmation?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I wonder if our method of payment ( PAYPAL debit card ) might be the cause of delay?... ARGH!!!

* bangs her head on a wall *
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
Man today just sucks. No shipment email, money has been refunded, backup phone bit the dust, and Hostess is going out of business. I'll miss you, Zingers.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Well, yeah, so idiot may not be the right word... except how can you not know the CHORUS to Livin' on a Prayer?

They are very 'book smart'. But there are probably only 1 of 100 that have the faintest idea about non-stonewashed culture. And they are the most socially awkward bunch you'll ever meet outside of a conference room. If you don't work AT Cisco, you're probably talking with NCEs. Those people are sharp technically (current requirement is CCIE), but have a customer-facing presence (read: khaki pants, sometimes still pleated though) that usually makes them seem somewhat normal. These folks are vastly different from the TAC Engineers that pend all their support cases and spend their days masturbating to their iphones.

:p
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Who wants to call Google and ***** at them for me? I'm too nice and work in customer service, so I can't bring myself to be a dik haha
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Hold probably expired after 72 hours and charges don't show up right away online, so nothing out of the ordinary.
[Nexus 4 General] darkamikaze:
Might be that google has to verify the account? I'm not sure :/ but this was the same dilemma for the N7
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I paid with a normal Visa credit card; never had a problem before.
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
My N4 should be here today by end of the day, checking my tracking the last thing it says is "destination scan" last night shouldn't it say "out for delivery"?

Just received shipping info for 2x16GB! After being in limbo with no contact since the 13th. That was a ridiculous process but it looks like my fiance and I are getting ours.

Ordered at 8:47PST, no backorder email, no contact since the 13th, play store showed Nov15 for the ship date, pending in wallet the whole time.

Still in Limbo... No emails about anything. Order still says pending. Authorization has dropped off..... Ugh... I see alot of people getting tracking numbers though... Sweet!
[Nexus 4 General] nbeebe24:
It just looks like all of us that ordered as soon as it dropped are getting the longest delays. I ordered at 8:33
[Nexus 4 General] Todd:
I am sure PayPal will be fine. I used my WalMart debit as I do with all Online Orders.
[Nexus 4 General] grkfire:
Yep. Received my shipping info about 25mins ago....charge is still "pending" in Paypal though...
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I wouldn`t think so, it would be just like Bank debit card, heck I had plenty of money in my account for this damn phone, and here I sit in limbo......:silly:
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I would have, but I already raged at them this morning. I just got the typical response...
[Nexus 4 General] boogieroc:
I'm in NYC Brooklyn and got my shipping notice 2 hrs ago.. Ups then sends out "out for delivery by EOD" 20 min later.. Just some info for us in ny
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
*****ing at the CSR who is not being told anything just like us?
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Yea ... wouldn't that be nice.
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Can we do a poll on this thread like the UK thread, to see who has received there order and who received backorder emails.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
did you get the backorder email?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Hmmm... well, it's not like I haven't ordered anything from them. I purchased 2x Nexus One in the past w/ my paypal debit card + 1x Galaxy Nexus with my pp debit card, too...

The authorization of $390.04 ( total cost of my N4 ) was instant too...

* shrug *
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
Yup, ordered at 8:33 PST and still in limbo as well. After reading about all these people getting shipping confirmations, it makes me feel better that I'm in the same boat as you guys!
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
i ordered 1 8gb + case at 12:01 PM EST in NYC... got BOE... but Wallet says pending, CC charge is still pending...
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Yeah but I get a lot of stuff delivered. It is not uncommon for the online tracking to be out of date. Then you'll check it late day and suddenly it will show Delivered as the status, with all other updates listed along with it, including the missing "out for delivery"... I wouldn't worry about that.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah, That`s what I was hoping but Ups was already here......:(
[Nexus 4 General] boogieroc:
Nope. Was in total limbo
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Hmmm... okay, that rules out Paypal Debit Card as being the problem.

I don't know anymore. :(

[Nexus 4 General] twayneo:
What i find most angering is the orders are not a first come first serve. Google is picking winners and losers.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
The Forgotten - Us who ordered in the first 5 minutes and yet have received absolutely nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah my same exact thought, I`m verified and everything, and I have used my Paypal debit card plenty of times and never had a issue.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I think most of us who are part of "the forgotten" are pissed off about that as well. It just does not make sense to me...
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
Yup me too, exactly the same. I mean you would think that at least the Nov 15th thing would have changed by now (not saying it would reflect a specific date, just at least say something other than that)

I feel your pain. I had the original G1, Nexus 1, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 and I'm being treated like a cockeyed step child.
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
Yeah seeing as how at least a few people who did get backorder emails have (today) received shipping confirmations, I think it's more than fair to say that having received that BO email really means nothing at this point.
[Nexus 4 General] Kairuns:
Order date: Nov 13, 2012 8:35:12 AM PST, still nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
nope...the charge is still pending
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I never had a problem with them.

Somebody that I sold $2000+ worth of item to tried to do a chargeback 2 years ago. Even though it took a month or two to sort it out ( I had to send out a lot of proof ), I won the case... so... I don't hate paypal or anything.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
You seem to be the exception to the rule. When did you get your tracking number and did you get a BO notification?
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
are people still receiving shipping info or has the wave stopped.
[Nexus 4 General] MeowMixDelivers:
Sounds like several limbo people have had their credit card pending charges dropped.

Is there anyone who has received shipping information despite the credit card charges being dropped? Or are all the shipped units also charged first. I can't imagine Google would ship without charging but with this completely launch snafu, anything is possible :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] nexo85:
Did you get the 3week delay email prior to getting your shipping confirmation?
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
it most likely is first come first serve but you are naive to think that there is only one line...

during the 13th, there was probably 1000+ people ordering at the same time at any given second... that is more queries than one server can handle.... what they probably do is send you to different queues for the ordering system... so say you order about 5 seconds after Bob: in that 5 seconds 5000 other people ordered before you. That does not mean you get your order processed 5000 units after Bob. There are say 10 different servers processing the orders: lets call them server A, B, C, etc... if Bob is number #1 on Server A, you could be #10 on Server A or # 200 on Server D, etc...
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Obviously...
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
With the N7 my charge dropped off a few days after ordering then nothing showed till 3 days after I received it when final payment went through. Don't obsess over it.
[Nexus 4 General] logo20heli:
Shipping confirmation!

Ordered 8:49 PST, 2x16GB Nexus 4. No BO email. Order turned from pending to completed this morning and got shipping confirmation email with tracking at 8:41am. Credit card web site still says pending, but maybe there is a slight delay in the reporting.

Should arrive via UPS on Monday 10/19. :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] Clay:
The charge is removed from our cards as it should be, the initial charge is just a hold on your account that will fall off a few days from initial purchase. The charge falling off your card is absolutely nothing to worry about. This will happen to each and every one of us. The charge for the phone itself will come as a separate charge once the processing is complete and the phone is shipped. Yes, I just got off the phone with the play store for the 3rd time. I like facts.

This proves there is only one version of limbo. Carry on.
[Nexus 4 General] wcdude18:
