[Nexus 4 General] ShutUpYouFace:
I think everyone here is speculating too much. All of us from the December orders said the exact same things, discussed the same things and were able to prove a lot of it false.

Ultimately, my first order in december missed the delivery date by just a few days (after 6 weeks of waiting)

My second order placed yesterday arrived this morning at 8am, 17hrs and 2 minutes after ordering.

Too many are quick to jump to conclusions that you're going to have to wait for 2 weeks.

Firstly, when you ordered - isn't that what you expected? Were you not told 1-2 weeks for delivery? If you were guaranteed delivery today, and didn't get it, fair enough, moan to your hearts content, but that wasn't the case. Everyone, including me, ordered under the impression we will get it in 2 weeks time. Anything earlier, we should be grateful.

Secondly, who said you are going to have to wait 2 weeks? Just because you didn't receive yours today doesn't mean it won't come tomorrow? As you can imagine, there are loads of people ordering these phones, do you honestly expect TNT to dedicate their entire operations and all resources just to ship out phones for Google? They have capacity, only so many can be shipped out in a day.

In the december batch, people that ordered a week after me received their phone a day or two earlier, that was it. I can survive a day or two - it won't be the end of the world if you get your phone a few days later.

Google isn't shipping things out manually. Likewise, it would be ridiculous to expect them to roll out phones and place them in the containers chronologically. We can safely say each phones IMEI is linked to the order, as usually is. So you cannot expect them to individually pick out phones one by one, based on their time, the minute and the second they ordered to make sure it is all unloaded off the planes in exact order and it's absurd to even assume such a thing. They're done in batches, like everything else. If you weren't in todays batch of deliveries, you might be in tomorrows, or the day after or the day after that.

And to prevent some of the same discussions from being repeated over and over again:

FACT: Choosing to link your device or not during checkout has ZERO impact on your delivery

FACT: Assuming you are in mainland UK, your location has ZERO impact on your ship date (if TNT get lost finding you that's unrelated)

FACT: Ordering 2 seconds before the next guy does not mean you will receive your order before him/her.

FACT: The guys at the airport in Korea are not loading phones one by one by hand while looking at who ordered at what precise second and minute in the day. Likewise, the guys at the airport in the UK won't be doing that, nor will TNT. It will be in a batch.

FACT: If you didn't receive your phone today, it doesn't mean you will never ever receive it

FACT: You all purchased under the assumption delivery will be in two weeks time, worst case. It has been just 1 day and a lot of people are already moaning - "i ordered a product with a 2 week shipping estimate and it's been 1 day and i still haven't received it, google sucks" -> sounds ridiculous.

I've been following this thread closely even after I've received my devices and giving input where I can in hopes it can help others, but honestly, moaning after just 24hrs of ordering for a product that was stated for 2 weeks delivery is, ridiculous.

If after 2 weeks you haven't received it, then go complain like hell, you have every right to.. but not so early on.
