I'm pretty sure the next batch of shipping confirmations will pretty much cover whoever is left. If not then it should.
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
First thing they better god damn do when they off load the pallets off the ship is break it down and start going through the manifest from Nov 13 starting from earliest ordered. Once everyone who "backordered" is done, then start sending out new orders.

Agree, they should send our orders out, I can't see there being to many of us so it shouldn't be a problem. I hope they give us Canadians overnight instead of Ground(3-5days)
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
HABEEB IT.

The good news is that you should have time to send it back and get another one, maybe more than once, before your phone arrives. :highfive:

No one know this. It would depend on how many orders are outstanding, and how big the next shipment is. If the backorder list is larger than the shipment, then probably. If not, they'll probably fill all outstanding orders.

However, this is Google fulfillment we are talking about, so they might fill us LL3s before filling the remaining LL2s, or they might ship them all to TMo. :cowboy:

Yo Dude, I sold my Galaxy Nexus to some dude that barely spoke English (presumably to sell it in South America) for $300. Thought I'd get totally screwed or shot, but brought my gun with me (legal ya know) and he was the nicest guy. He was getting a deal though, my Nexus was mint, covered with carbon skin, screen protector, extended battery, and I even gave him the 2 cases I had. I WAS happy I was going to get my Nexus 4 for around $80 after selling the old one, but alas, I got stuck with all these other L3'ers! Great bunch of people you all are, but I want my damn phone! :cool:

Whew... I love beer.
[Nexus 4 General] ADJack:
I expect some compensation. Ideally I want: waive shipping fee and upgrade to 2 day air delivery, a free bumper and playstore credit.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
It's already shipped 2 day air by default.
[Nexus 4 General] ADJack:
In that case, overnight delivery will do.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Word. Well, the bright side is that by getting rid of your GNex while the N4 is unavailable, you probably got a little more for it. A month from now that phone might be worth $150.

Also, bacon, and beer. This thread has taken a turn for the delicious.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Waived overnight and a free bumper is enough for me, or 10%+ off.

[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
My cs told me all back orders would get free next day. Also the standard shipping charges would be refunded once the order was received.

He also told me they were looking at other options for additional compensation. My guess would be playstore credit but he didn't know.

Some of the reps know nothing but there ate a few that have been with Google for a long time. They are friends with some of the uppers so they know a bit more. I think this is why some seem to know more than others.

I am surprised and pleased that Google is not outsourcing this work.

Im hoping that they do go out tonight, and next day air gets it to us tomorrow :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Let's see.

2 Day Air, included.

Bumper, Google cost $0.37 (rumored about 1k posts ago, but believable so let's just go with it)

$25 Playstore Credit, Google cost, a percentage to the devs, 70% I think, so figure $17.50 cost to the Google.

So, for $17.87 per BO they could turn the worst launch in history to "satisfactory",for 99% of Limboers.

I could be extremely happy for a bumper and $10 Playstore credit. So $7.37 for this LL3er.

Sounds pretty damn reasonable to me. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] kcuartero:
next day air on a saturday ! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Don't fault me for the optimistic thinking but it would be fantastic if they went out tonight. If I threw a party who would join me?

[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
its really not shipping today or tomorrow or Monday.

I'm thinking it will be the 29th or 30th ... my prediction.

And we will just get a thank you from Google for our purchase and that's it. No free bumpers . No savings . Maybe even full shipping charges to us and we have to fight them for credit
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
I don't know about Monday, but I'm almost certain nothing will happen until next week. This week was a wash because of the holiday. Let's all be honest about today, no work was done today, the Friday after thanksgiving is more of a retail day than office day.

Next week is definitely the week. Monday-Friday is anyone's guess but I'm leaning toward more Monday-Thursday.
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
I'd bet my money on Thursday cause if they receive shipment on Monday, it will take them a day to break it down. Then another couple days to process the manifest, then it'll ship out Thursday. Weird Google is going to miss out on cyber Monday though.

They could open orders monday just so they don't miss out on cyber monday and put "ships soon" on it the same way they did to the Nexus 10 but I highly doubt it.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
That is as much speculation and convoluted theory as the Nexus 4 order delivery scenario. So yes. :)

Although creative, the "marcellus wallace soul" theory has holes in it, I am in the "give the audience something to talk about" theory. I don't think Tarantino has ever come out and said, he probably doesn't even know himself. :)
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
They won't cause they don't want scalpers breaking their site again with auto scripts. Why doesn't Google use a captcha when adding to cart? They should make a captcha just to view the nexus 4 info page to stop all these BS auto load programs.

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
I think they will just waive the shipping cost too and that's it!

But personally I don't believe that's enough compensation for all the hassle they have put us through, let's not forget this is the worst order we all have ever been through.

They should at least be offering a free bumper, and/or some Google drive space etc.

Guess a free wireless orb would be asking way to much LOL

But bumpers cost nothing (their high price for it doesn't give it value), and drive space is just a number to them.

Amazon delivered my kindle paperwhite cover 1 day later than the 'estimated delivery' and gave me £5 credit on my account - even without me complaining or even emailing them! - Google needs to take a customer satisfaction lesson if they don't offer something extra.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You want them to basically block everyone from seeing the cart without putting in a capcha? No way..

There are things they could do but right now it isn't an issue. It only becomes an issue when everyone all over the world is doing it while people are also placing orders. Placing orders, processing data, this is much more server intensive than page refreshes alone. This is why there were issues in my opinion.

[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
You're ridiculous. Some people didn't even get to order. You want compensation? There's no reason to get it. They have to deal work all the bad pass, the problems with the actual phone, the constant cs harrasment, and I'm pretty she this has shoes the relationship between google and LG.

I dont mean to attack you about it, is just aggravating already. I mean at least you are guaranteed a phone. I calm have to deal with this piece of crap phone for months before getting my order in. Am I mad at google? Yes. But you have to look at or from there performance too.

Want to order a Nexus 4, but Google is dumb. Now I have a GoPhone.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
The free bumper would be a way of saying we suck balls.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Well remember they did send us an apology of sorts in the back order email. I could be imagining that though.

I was hoping for some sort of a public statement/apology though rather than a mass email. I would also really like to know what they ate going to do so this does not happen again.

I can understand a hot item selling out. What I hated most was not knowing the launch time and then how they launched earlier than expected. I also am not crazy about the lack of information. It just send like a bad situation was made far worse by arrogance.

If I was in charge I would have been apoligizing left and right. Sometimes it seems like Google is a bit to powerful to care about anything.

Haaahaaaa! I had that link in where "I love bacon" is now, the one about PayPal having a holiday price match when you bought off eBay and they would give you back the difference. I was thinking about the N4. I deleted it because apparently it has to be authorized sellers, so I put what ever popped in my head first..... Which was bacon :)
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Ok, A bumper would make me happy also, but give it a month, and we'll have unofficial bumpers that cost $5 on eBay or Amazon. Even though I hate cases, I would love to rock one on the phone. Man I really want this ****ing phone right now.

If Google decided to sell the phone through retail stores like Bestbuy Mobile or Staples, without contract it'd be great. Knowing people who work in retail is the best thing you can ever do if you're a big electronics geek.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I actually don't want a bumper I am just saying, like a Google play gift card would be cool though, that way you can just put it towards whatever you want.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Yeah but their only for apps, music, books, movies, etc. Can't use them in the device section of the play store. I still have $20 left over from the Nexus 7 promotion. There's really nothing worth buying atleast in my case. I've brought Swiftkey, Asphalt 7, RedditNews, and some $.25 deals and that's it.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
How is it ridiculous to ask for this?

If Google have no problem subsidising the phone in the first place, offering a free bumper which is nothing to them, or cloud space on their own services to keep future customers and restore reputation is a very small thing to do for them.

Restoring some reputation alone would be worth it for them.

People shouldn't even have to ask, it's their mess and it should be offered - but then again, they havnt even had the decency to offer explanations or apologies to their customers.

Maybe you think it's ridiculous, but I certainly don't.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Just for their lack of communication or explanation alone they should be looking to restore their reputation, not so much overselling. I'm not so angry that they oversold so much as i am that they don't know how to communicate at all.
[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
Same. They can even keep the $17 shipping cost if they'd be able to miraculously get it to me for Monday, sadly that's not the case :|
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Speaking of the bumper, has anyone seen any type of a drop test while the phone has the bumper on?

Perhaps if the bumper was a bit heavier on the bottom it would cause the phone to land on the bumper most times.

Maybe Google will give us are credit which we could use towards a bumper. To be honest though I will be happy to just get the phone next week with next day shipping. I don't need any extras. I just want my phone.

My current sim runs out Nov 29 and I cannot activate my new tmob microsim without the phone. I wanted to keep my current number meaning I will have to pay for another month unless I get the phone by the 29th. So just send me my phone Google. We can worry about the extras later. :)

And wasn't it Google who said they would start shipping orders on the 13th? That there was not going to be a wait? Weren't they asked that question by someone, and they made it seem we would get our orders super fast?
[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
They were gonna start shipping order on the 15th. That is until their servers over loaded and phones were over sold
[Nexus 4 General] bleuiko:
I got nothing for my frustration except a lost package, a cancelled order, and a sorry. I really don't think Google is here to gain the respect and praises of their customers. I hope everyone BO can get their phones soon, with or without some extra compensation (some Play credit sounds right and free shipping). That way we can get the order page up so that I could order again....
[Nexus 4 General] Erikbronx:
The bumper is great, people do not even notice its there. They think its the phone.

On a side note, A person hit my car on Wednesday here in NYC, we got into a altercation where the driver was trying to flee the scene. The driver ended up hitting the phone out of my hand with his car. The phone flew to the opposite side of the road, and was saved by the bumper. No scratches or cracks on the phone, just a few on the bumper. The phone works flawless. It was a sad evening for me.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
My story is probably just as frustrating as yours. One of mine was cancelled and they intercepted the other one and the damn handset was in my city the day they took it back. I'm waiting for the order page to open back up as well but I don't want to have to sit at work all week refreshing on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:

That's the only thing that's keeping me sane, the knowledge that these roms wouldn't have been available had I received the phone last week.
