My 1st post:)

I have to say you guys in US are lucky, coz at least most of you have a date update, no matter what it means...

But for many european customers, like me, our orders are in real damn limbo. No update, No tracking info since 13th Nov, only some lucky ones got a BO email in 15th.

Google's a great company, becoz he just can screw the device launch up again&again！

I can wait, but waiting without knowing anything sucks,lol.

Anyway, wish all of us could get our phones as soon as possible.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
they still do air service day after thanksgiving, phones would still be delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] Hawkeye9723:
Not I. CSR told me on Saturday that if I didn't get a BO email it *should* be shipping out today as the guys who ship the stuff out don't work on the weekends.
[Nexus 4 General] Jasonator:
Long press the center home button for the multi-Tasking to come up like on the Gnex.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
doesn't look like anyone got shipping info today yet which is pretty concerning considering by this time last Thur and Fri we already had people posting with shipping info. I have a bad feeling nobody will get any today as Google could simply be waiting for more stock.

i cannot wait to hear all the new BS google play support tells us limboers today :)

limbo lvl 2 til i die!
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
I think the shipment are sent out in batch.so if you don't see any excited post on any page claiming they have received a teaching number you can safely assume nobody received shipping info yet.
[Nexus 4 General] jining:
Still limbo level 2, no update since I ordered and got confirmation at 8:33am :( I was hoping for an email this morning.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
On last Saturday, the date changed to the 17th...

Today, the date updated to the 19th but status stays the same ( 15th )

- shrug -

[Nexus 4 General] newbienic:
Well, looks like UPS is delivering my bumper today (Which was ordered 20 mins after my phone). So I think I'm just gonna spend some time pretending. I'll just going to start telling people that google is so innovative that my phone is invisible . :cyclops:

I ordered at 8:34 am PST and have had no correspondence except for my confirmation email. Date on GPlay just changed from 13th to 19th, but wallet still says 13th. I never even got an estimated ship date.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
I hate to say it, but they probably sent out the backorder emails because they are actually backordered. No one should really be holding their breath that many more shipments will be going out until December.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
I know how to do it but I prefer having a dedicated capacitive button like the GN. To me the long press is much slower and slows down my quickly multitasking.
[Nexus 4 General] silver91342:
I am with the other guy, there seems to be a much larger problem now. UPS might be bad at logistics, but this bad? I don't think so. I am starting to think Google doesn't have the phones otherwise they would be shipped today. The changes in dates might be Google trying to estimate how many they will need from LG who already said there is a shortage of Optimus G's. Which would also explain why we haven't heard from Google as someone said before they can't really throw their nexus manufacturer under the bus right now.

Edit: Mine also just change to 19th. 13th->17th->19th for a 8:34am PST order.
[Nexus 4 General] megapixle:
I think we've got to try to get through to somebody else at Google who can communicate with us what's going on. Any ideas? At this point I'm almost considering typing up an email detailing the entire ridiculous situation and emailing it to every @google.com address I can think of.

larry@google.com

david@google.com

sergey@google.com

....
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
"UPS may not send you a tracking number; they're so backed up for the holidays they're just trying to get packages out as fast as possible so expect it Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. If you don't have it by Friday give us a call and we'll look into it for you."
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Thanks given, sucks for me.

Thanks given, see above.

Hmm, was more concerned about Sunday night emails, but hell, I appreciate the effort so see above.

A couple of days ago I thought about the TVTropes meme in regards to viewing this thread. Glad to see I'm not alone on that one.

HABEEB IT!

Man that is some bull right there. I probably would have thrown the phone, and I'd definitely be running that **** up the management chain.

I lawled. But seriously, pro tip: Make sure you just have it out the fly and not pantsless, otherwise most drivers won't stop.

Just got mi shipping confirmation email just now!!.....................

Not!!! Lol.... Still in limbo level 3, updated to the 19th as well...
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
Just chiming in. My order date also changed from the 17th (previously 13th) to the 19th between 10-11:20am EST. Sigh, I wish I could receive some info from Google and not Victor sending me ****ing surveys.

Resident of Limbo, level 3.
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
Just called Google for S&G and was told that they don't send out the shipping emails, UPS does. Anybody that has had theirs shipped, can you confirm that the email comes from UPS and not Google? I ask because every other product I bought online I usually get an email from the seller, not straight from UPS

Update

Limbo level 2 here. Ordered at 8:35:51 PST.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
That's just me guessing at what they're going to say, not anything I was told.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
What was your order time? Mine hasn't been updated and I'm in Limbo 3 with a date of Nov 13th still.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
that's you're first problem u called Google. THEY ARE CLUELESS. UPS sends the tracking to Google, but you will actually get the tracking info from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] skttls:
From what I've seen people get a Play Store e-mail.

Limbo Lvl 2

Date updated from 13th>17th but has not updated to the 19th.

Shipping date remains the 15th and my charges have been released off my card.

I have ZERO hopes of getting the phone at all before at least the second week of December at this point. If they had stock and what we were told by the CSRs about shipping out today before the 5 business day deadline was true somebody would have gotten an email with tracking today as I cannot believe UPS is THIS bad at the entire logistics process and still in business. Google has certainly screwed this one up and I would be even more pissed if I did not have a GNex to play with 4.2 but I still want what I ordered you bastards!! :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] Ricolando:
Mine was shipped out from Louisville, KY and is out for delivery as we speak. I know a few days ago some people said they were shipping out of Texas.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Nope.backordered prior have received tracking numbers and their phones.

Every possible scenario has happened that the only explanation left is Google's ordering and mailing system is random.
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
I know they are. I just wanted to see what they would say.
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
Shipping confirmation comes from Google.

"Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package....."

UPS email comes to people who signed up for My Choice (this came prior to the Play Store email).
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
No, It is a message from the play store with a big shiny play store logo on it. I don't know who generates the mail that is sent, but the mail is sent by google or on behalf of google without a doubt. Hence I don't think UPS is the one that sends the mail, it should be google or whatever logistics company is doing the shipping for google.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
did any1 notice that they removed the phone number of the support center?

edit: tried to call anyways as its still in my call history. voice is telling me that the support center is currently not available. lol
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:

I tried calling them, but I keep getting an error message. Tried calling another number to see if my phone was acting up, but that worked fine. Maybe they disabled CS temporarily...:(
[Nexus 4 General] nyijedi:

+1. I was F5-ing ALL DAY (and I'm in time zone GMT+1, so that means from 8am to 5.33pm (when I bought it). I was stressed out eating lunch away from my desk, and had half an eye in my 2nd monitor for the whole work day. I had a great relief when I saw it come in stock, and I finished my order within a minute. Then seeing others just tag a long hours later, order it, and get it before the weekend is seriously pissing me off. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
Unfortunately, this may be exactly what is happening.

Shut down the phones and call meeting for all CSRs at 11:30AM to brief them as to what will be said, have press release at 12 noon.

What is shipping and taxes for Connecticut ?
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Whoever was asking, yes there is combined shipping (you will only pay for the shipping of N10 if you buy N10 and N4).

And historically, you only have UPS standard as shipping option, so if they do ship Tuesday, you can expect it to have it by weekend, if not, it will depend on how remote you live.

Correct me if I'm wrong but since when does an online retailer charge tax in the US if it doesn't have a physical store in that state
[Nexus 4 General] ceroglu:
Just wanted to do a test by adding N7 in my cart and proceeding to check out to see the tax charges. It is funny that it gave me error for several minutes before letting me to choose my CC info. If it is doing this before the the game started cant imagine how easy it will be to buy at 3am in the morning?

That's odd, I just went to add a N7 to try and figure out tax and I have none for Louisiana.
[Nexus 4 General] bfspider:
Well, el goog's office is in California, so, there should be no question on sales tax here.

However, it is a bummer for buying stuff out of state. :(

So i gave in and called. I got through to them quite quickly, probably 2 minutes on hold. Was told that mine would be shipping any time within 3 weeks, so i just cancelled the order. My card has been hit twice now for the $388 and change (one was the auth hold, the other an actual debit) but they said it hadn't shipped, so i just gave up.

Whoever is next in line, enjoy. I'll just live on with my craptastic phone for now until they get this crap figured out.

[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
I just called CSR (I don't know why) for the first time. She told me that despite my order being placed 4 minutes after the store was launched they were not being processed as a first in first out because the overwhelming demand and placed a back log. She said the soonest I could except is to ship out is another 3 to 5 business days. She also said she would push my order to the processing team since It has been 6 days (I know everyone has been 6 days) and said it might get bumped up faster, but basically don't hold my breath. She also said they will waive shipping since I requested they waive it at the very least for this whole fiasco.

That said I don't know what I believe. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm not getting my phone this week...
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Were you in any limbo level

I apologize for my behavior sir. One does not simply stay sane knowing that $700+ of my money is being dicked around by a company that offers good service. If in anyway I have offended you, please disregard my comment and carry on about you say. Again I'm sorry.

[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
50 posts per page ftw.

The sad part of this is that every day until now we've seen two waves of shipping confirmations by this time. I haven't seen one yet today. Which means they are most likely completely out of units to ship and they literally oversold thousands of devices and screwed the people the showed up first.
[Nexus 4 General] cchap07:
What get means is that you can change the settings to see up to 50 posts a page so you don't have to reload like crazy.

I think we all need to just forget about it, and we'll get it when we get it. We are now trying to find a pattern to something completely random :) Google screwed up, and they need to respond... but won't until places like android central, The verge, engadget, etc.. start putting pressure on them.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Shaded:
Yep.. I'm in the same boat.. Its annoying.. i don't like my money floating around..

No BO notice.. no update.. every time I call they say I "should" be getting a tracking # soon.. been hearing that for 3 days now.. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] duane1221:
I am still in limbo as well.

If I use the link to wallet a CSR gave me, https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transactions , my order shows pending Nov 13th, no shipping date.

But it I go to play.google.com and look at my orders under options, it shows Nov 19th and a shipping date of Nov 15th.

And still no communication other than the original confirmation of the order.

Who knows what that means.
[Nexus 4 General] thekooliest:
I knew someone who got a shipping confirmation from MyChoice (UPS) on Wednesday and ended up receiving his Nexus 10 (yes no the N4) on Friday. He did technically receive a shipping email from Google Play hours before the tablet shipped on Friday, but the Google emails are definitely delayed.
