this is because google hasn't yet sent your credit card company the "slip" that says pay me. After a certain amount of days the authorization drops off and they give you your credit line back because google hasn't taken anything yet.

I've had the UPS truck stop at my house well after 8PM and much closer to 9PM. That 7PM thing must be a "suggestion." That's not at all how it works here in Chicago.

However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20."

I just got off the phone to try and verify the shipping tonight rumors. The guy I talked to asked for my email, pulled up my order and said "your order is currently pending. I don't have any info other than that. We did find out tonight that a lot of orders should be shipping out tomorrow so cross your fingers and say a prayer that yours gets shipped out".

He didn't ask if I got any emails or anything. Ordered @ 11:55 EST and have received confirmation and BO email so far.

I am never rude to the CSRs...well the 2 times I've called, I wasn't. I know it's not their fault, catch more flies with honey, etc.

[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
That and how would they get to someone senior enough to make such a confirmation when the rest of us can't get clarity on our orders. If they've got a direct line to someone more senior and this is what they chose to use it for at this point in time, then all I can say is wow.

I have been watching this thread and decided to jump in and start posting. I ordered a Nexus 10 (32GB) and a Nexus 4 (16GB) on the 13th and have been in limbo on both (separate orders). I ordered the Nexus 10 at 8:43am EST and the Nexus 4 at 8:59am EST. I have received a confirmation email for both and nothing else. Just figured I would jump into the conversation and share in everyone's pain.
[Nexus 4 General] apolloms:
just called...got the typical question if I got any other emails other than the confirmation.......saying it was good.

Said I'm still in processing stage...I'm guessing no phone for me tomorrow....they said if no tracking info received tomorrow to call back...what a surprise.....good news guys they said to call tomorrow if i dont get tracking info so it can be elevated to a specialist....I'm SURE those specialists can fix it........

and this is the only email i got after the call:

[Nexus 4 General] ppkhoa:
I called Google CS last Sunday morning (3am PT, 6am ET, I'm in Seattle) about my Nexus 10 16GB order. I ordered 1 on the 13th, about 25 minutes, during the order fiasco. Till now, my order have not been shipped nor updated. The charge on my CC is still pending as of 11/19. He told me that this is a weird case and my order should have been shipped by now since the Nexus 10 16GB is not in high demand (still in stock when I write this post) so he put me on hold for 5 minutes and then told me that he will escalate this case to a specialist to resolve it as soon as possible (sent an email to confirm this). I ask him about when the Nexus 4 will be in stock, he told me that he really don't know, it will be available when it is and he know what I know so he can't help. He also said that all orders are sent to logistics company to process and shipped it. It have been slow since a lot of people ordered on the 13th, causing the system to be "clogged" (he said that) and everything have been slowed down as they tried to fix it. I thanked him for his help, hanged up and go to bed ... Hope I will get the Nexus 10 soon.

Forgot something: he also mentioned that I MAY be eligible for shipping reimbursement but that depends on the people that processes the order. I should receive the reimbursement since my ordered was processed late and it took more than 3-5 days range, he said. I did ask him whether I am eligible for a reimbursement, he don't know and I have to wait. He will also forward this to the specialist.

If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today.
