My apologies for not releasing info in my last post:

1 16gb Nexus 4

Nov 13, 2012 10:43:49 AM CST

Was limbo level 2 with multiple canned response emails from GST.

Received my shipping email minutes ago.
[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:
Did your date change on the play store??
[Nexus 4 General] itspb:
I dont really understand the Limbo level but i've got a BO email. My order date is 13 and shipping estimate is 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] AnthonyAldrete:
its 10:24 on Nov 19 over here in Phx, AZ and i just got my email from google play saying order has been shipped, gave me a tracking number and everything. doesnt say when i should expect it but the email i got earlier from one of the support people from google play says ill get the phone tomorrow. he said i would get an email today i did so he's been right so far
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
Looks like the folks who are Limbo 3 that received the shipping email ordered at an earlier time than the rest of us who ordered later on.
[Nexus 4 General] ccnyc1:
limbo 2 just got me email at 12:09 est and I ordered 2 nexus 4's
[Nexus 4 General] BR_Impulse:
Happy (for all who received shipping) and depressed for me and others who havent gotten shipping. Ordered 1:17 PM EST in Canada, received confirmation and backorder emails, so Limbo Level 3. This is my first Android smartphone and first Nexus device, and I think this whole experience has made me vow to never buy a device direct from Google ever again. The only way I'll change my mind is if I get my Nexus4 by the end of this week and if the Nexus 4 I get is up to all of my specs. You better impress me Google.

My Nexus 10. That I ordered on the 17th shipped. By the time I got tracking it had already gone from Kentucky to San Jose.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
WHAAAAAAAAATTTTT???????
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
This one CSR told me that "Nexus 4 backorders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received." So im guessing that they'll ship the ones that were ordered earlier, then go from there. So those folks including me that ordered later, have to wait a while smh.
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
I'm hoping that you get one this week!!! You have been great to hang out with!! :D

[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Hello Kirk,

Thanks for contacting the Google Play Store.

"Within 3 weeks" is the only guidance I can provide at this time. I'll only know the scheduled delivery date when you receive an email notification that your order has shipped.

Regards,

Renée

to googleplay-dev.

Sorry to bother, do you have any idea if that means it'll ship out "within 3 weeks" or it should be delivered "within 3 weeks"?

And I greatly appreciate you for emailing me back. I work in customer service for a rather large car dealership and understand what your going through.

Hello Kirk,

Thanks for your reply. All I know is that it will be within three weeks. I don't have any other information for you. I thank you for your appreciation.

Well....a response is better than nothing, right? :eek::confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Jamesion:
Don't despair! Just got mine tracking number

Ordered 8:36:19 PST Nov 13th. 2 x 16GB

Confirmation email received: 8:56 PST 13 November

No other communication received.

Order updated Saturday morning to 17th November in Google Play.

Called CSR tonight, asked for update (rejected fwiw).

Bought an App to make sure wallet was working and "I wasn't trapped in a loop"

Recieved tracking # email at 21:04 (9:04) PM PST.

Good luck everyone.
[Nexus 4 General] djsaad1:
BTW even though my date changed to the 19th this morning. After I got my shipping info a few minutes ago, the date changed again to the 20th.
[Nexus 4 General] d4ft:
Thought I should just repost my info:

Status: Limbo 3 (Not anymore as of 30 min ago)

Orders: Made multiple separate orders, the earliest one was a 16GB + bumper that just got shipped

Earliest order made: 8:36 PST

BO Mail: Yes (CSR told me BO mails are tied to accounts, not orders, but who knows)

Date changes: 13, 15, 17, 19

The CSR told me that I'd have to wait 2-3 weeks for my order to ship and she has in no way any power to escalate my case whatsoever.
[Nexus 4 General] raycpe:
Yeah, that is crazy....I think they are just playing with your emotioins....

BTW, dirty, if you want the award, there has to be proof :p. You can PM me if you like.
[Nexus 4 General] hev88:
I'm in phoenix too a CSR (Kaylee) assured me I should receive my n4 16gb and bumper tomorrow as long as I didn't get a backorder email, which I didnt, and Patrick said latest would be Wednesday. I want my damn confirmation email I would sleep so much better if I just had a letter saying I was getting it rather than someone's word over the phone.

[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
No matter what, you BO people still are in an elite club. Very few people could even place orders on November 13th. You'll still get your phone before A LOT of people will even get the chance to order it.

Google sold us phones that didn't exist, its god damn stupid

Wishful thinking I'm afraid. I paid for a flight upgrade coming out of Korea on CC at the airport few months back. Auth dropped of card 4 days after. For a full 2 weeks I felt like king having flown business class (for the first time in my life too) and not having paid for it. After 19 days: boom charges were back.

[Nexus 4 General] Erikbronx:
My tracking just came in! Limbo number 2. Ordered on the 13th around 11:45am EST, got a confirmation email and that's it. Date was changed from the 13th to the 19, Thank the lord.:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] espylacopa:
Just thought I would tell my story. I ordered on the 13th as everyone else who got their phone order placed did. I received a tracking number, and UPS was even scheduled to deliver it on Friday the 16th. Come Friday, the UPS man rolls up, and I step outside of my door in anticipation. I see him get out of his seat to go look for a package (at least I assume so). A few minutes later, he sits back down to write something, and then just leaves. My package was out for delivery as of 8:05am on the 16th, and this was at 1:30pm. So I assumed there might be another driver coming later due to some logistics advantage I was unaware of. 7pm rolls around, and I call UPS, and they assure me it will be delivered tonight and that they deliver as late as 9pm. I told them I would rather just go pick it up at the local facility, but they told me I couldn't because the driver had not yet returned or made an attempt yet. Ultimately, it never showed, and the status on the UPS page said that it was still out for delivery. In fact, eventually my delivery date was rescheduled for today, the 19th instead, but the package was still listed as out for delivery. It remained like that all the way through today, and nothing showed up still. I called UPS, and finally they determined that this package has been lost!!!! I'm pretty sure it was actually stolen by someone somewhat in the know about this launch.

Anyhow, I had to call a Google CSR to initiate the UPS investigation, and they wanted to refund my money so I could try and order again later when available. I said no way, no how FU! I told them to let UPS look (cause I'm hoping that somehow they manage to find the damn thing, but I don't think they will), and when they finish the investigation, then I will decide what course of action to take.

So on my end, Google did pretty well with all things considered. I know a lot of you weren't so lucky and I understand why you're pissed. But to get so close only to have UPS screw it all up is even more frustrating. I would have rather been told from the get go that I would have to wait a month to get the phone. Anyhow, this picture shows the progression of UPS messing up their part of the deal to ultimately screw me.

I'll update as I find out more.
[Nexus 4 General] djsaad1:
Since my choice UPS hasn't sent me an email yet, wouldn't that mean that they are actually shipping out tomorrow not today?
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I hope so...LvL3 here
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well that's a rosy way of looking at it! I take it you are a glass half full type? :)

I actually think I would have been better off NOT ordering on the 13th and just hit up T-Mobile for the tune of about a hundred more dollars to not have to lose my wits for a whole week frantically checking my emails and this thread and whatnot over and over. That's a week of very little study time for a test that will net me a whole lot more money at my job. No one's fault but my own of course... but hard to concentrate when you get pulled back and forth by Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Shadowguy:
I basically just got off the phone with CSR and she was nice.....sounded very cute maybe 22 nice perky t**s maybe and maybe a slight unibrow....'

ok back to what i was saying

She basically said back orders will start shipping starting next week and may last up until January. Dont know how true that is.
[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Exactly. If Google didn't sell me a phone that didn't exist, I would have went to T-Mobile.

My details:

Bought 8:44am pst

Confirmation email 10:15am PST

Play store says "pre-ordered"

Wallet says "pending"

No BO email

No shipping email

This morning 11-19 in the Play Store my order changed from "Pre-Order" to Shipping Nov 15h and the ordered date from Nov 13th to Nov 19th. Wallet still "Pending" and no shipping email yet.

New update:

10:15pm 11-19 Received email from Google stating my device has been shipped and the tracking number.

Play Store changed the date to November 20th and it says shipped now.

Wallet says Complete now.

Finally an update. Hopefully it has been shipped. Checked tracking info but its too early for anything yet. Will keep posting.

Level 3 you are. At this point you are looking at 3 weeks if you haven't got any shipping info.

===========

Today has been kind to me. My AmEx card has finally arrived, the HD caddy I ordered has finally arrived travelling all the way from China, so I popped my new SSD in. Nexus 4 has finally shipped.

Tomorrow will be better. Note II's wallet will arrive and hopefully so will Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
I have this happen almost as often as my luggage is lost. It's usually no big deal, and UPS will usually track down the package within a couple of days. If they can't find it in a week or so, Google will be reimbursed what they insured on the package and they'll likely ship you another one.

In either case, it's not your fault until the package hits your doorstep.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
That didn't sound right :/ Or maybe it's just my mind ;)
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
WTF!! I ALWAYS hear from people how UPS never screws up but I have had 3 packages this year get lost/undelivered by them!! I even got questioned about FRAUD!!!

But dont worry, people who ordered two hours after us got tracking emails tonight.

Way to go Google! CSR's said they were shipping in order tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
If I don't get my notification today, I might just cancel and order an iPhone. Never have I been so angry with a company. Let's see, their store experiences errors and lets people order late, that means some of us are backordered (people who have ordered later than me have not been placed on BO, 1st mistake by Google) Then Google refuses to make an official comment (mistake 2) then CSRs continually lie to us (mistake 3) now we have to wait for 3 weeks (maybe even 4) and apparently their free shipping is supposed to make up for it. Simply put, F*** you google.

On a brighter note, enjoy your nexus 4s tomorrow,I am just dreading waking up tomorrow and suddenly seeing hundreds of nexus 4s on Ebay. What do you guys think, shall I just cancel and get an iPhone? The only iDevice I have ever owned was the first gen iPod touch, nothing since.

Cliff Notes for Today:

1. Having BO and getting a BO email are not the same thing.

2. You will still be accepted even if you got a shipping notice so long as you post your circumstance and Limbo Level.

3. Roxy got her shipping notification.

4. Hamster is still all woman.

5. Many people who were level 2 got their shipping notifications around midnight.

6. a few people who were level 3 also got theirs.

7. It seems that a lot of folks who had their dates changed got their shipping info,

8. Customer service is still full of $hit

If you don't mind the same boring OS that's currently on your first gen iPod touch, then sure, go ahead and get it.

I've used a 3GS, 4 and now an iPhone 5 and I can tell you NOTHING has changed in the OS. Sure it's a tad bit faster and apps don't actually suck the memory out of the phone. However, it's the same archaic OS that has been there for years. It's so boring I could cry....

I want a nexus for pure stock and updates, I hate waiting and although I have tried custom roms stock is my favourite flavour of Android and I have sort of gotten tired of depending on XDA devs for updates (you guys are awesome). I have never tried an iPhone and hate touchwiz. Most importantly though I need an unlocked phone, I do a ton of travelling. So if you have a better solution I would love to hear it. Currently I own a Galaxy Nexus.

[Nexus 4 General] bigmase521:
Par for the course a this point unfortunately. Still pissed but whatever. Def annoys me when I see multiple orders going out, esp. when one is earlier than mine, but the other is MUCH later.. but again.. par for the course. It's obvious that they lost our orders completely and are entering them in manually, hence the order date updates. It actually upsets me more that the orders were "lost" for so long and no communication aside from the BO email. That e-mail should've at least said "we ****ed up and lost your order, but are trying to attach it to a phone/bumper ASAP". But they haven't said anything at this point so why would they start now? What also upsets me is the dude who is apparently getting a free N4 for the mix up. He'll prob get that before we get ours.. smh
[Nexus 4 General] andham95:
I was a Limbo level 2, no change in order date until this morning when it changed from the 13th to the 19th.

I ordered just after 11 central (that's when I thought orders went live but I guess it was actually at 10:30).

AND I JUST GOT MY SHIPPING CONFIRMATION FROM GOOGLE PLAY!

No tracking info from UPS yet though. But still. I'm so happy.

Oh and it was an 8GB.
