I'm in Edinburgh - order shows as completed. No shipping confirmation. Pending in wallet. Just called google to ask and they said I definitely got one and am very lucky but she had no idea if it had been shipped or not or when it would be.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Worst ever for me was a day off work for something Christmas related last year or year before and I was stuck on the loo when the door went.

Only person in the house, dilemma of pull up and run with stinky bum, or finish asap and sprint to the door.

Good times :good:
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Possibly, I didn't think many people would have had both in the same order as it was such a scramble to even get it in the cart lol. So did you only incur a single shipping charge?
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
Just called Google and he said it will probably come early next week. When I asked him why some people got theirs today he said it's just luck of the draw, and he told me he said early next week to not give me false hope, and that it might come tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
Is it possible for a mod to ban me from repeatedly refreshing this thread for the next two days?

i have work i am supposed to be doing :(
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Congrats. Did you get a shipping confirmation e-mail before hand?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Yep I've got a 16GB N4 and Bumper in a single order and only the one shipping charge.

Can't find an instance anywhere, in any thread from any country, where the bumper has been shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Googles official word is over the next few weeks, rumour is it would only be a few days.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Ha! I bet you're hoping you never run into that delivery guy again!
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:

[Nexus 4 General] :
Getting my hopes up...

I keep getting really excited when i page monitor pings.

This time it was Google added a Google+ share button. ;__;

I know its been asked hundreds of times already but...

Any news yet on new stock?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
LOL someone literally answered this like 3-4 posts back... googles official announcement is " coming weeks"
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeah that's what they said a few days ago, was just wondering if there has been a development since. I guess not.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
apparently someone rang them and they said 2 weeks... but yea, if i were you, id keep the page monitor on
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Anyone moaning about delivery, count yourself lucky! I'm having to wait weeks for stock.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
just called TNT on 0800100600 Option 2 and they haven't got a parcel for me. Guy was very helpful actually.
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
I'd hardly consider us lucky. We are no more assured of having a phone than you are with no order, only we've had money taken and expectations set with no delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Google really ****ed this up

i mean not only was ordering a total farse, but now the delivery is a mess as well!?!! come on , google... one of the biggest companies ever
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Welcome aboard this ship of lies, deceit and (im)patience. :victory: :highfive:

Latest you'll get your phone is next Tuesday, unless you ordered the bumper. Earliest we'll get to ORDER our phones from Google is December. Go figure.
[Nexus 4 General] Larac:
I kind of figured end of the month at the earliest, couldn't live with the tytnII until then so I picked up an open boxed return HOX for £240 from amazon yesterday. Ordered @ 1530, delivered this morning just after 10. That google is how you do shipping.

I shall be back after Christmas when hopefully you can order one without all the fuss.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Yep nothing out for delivery for me either. TNT advised there wont be unless I receive a tracking number, but I said it's because Google are making a right arse of things and some people are getting deliveries without tracking.

Advised them they may get a flood of calls :P

I'd advise everyone calls and checks, no point in torturing yourself or making delivery plans at home if nothing is on its way. Staff are very helpful and I only queued on the line for 20 seconds.
[Nexus 4 General] aliburns:
Currently on O2 SIM-only, pay monthly 300 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data for £20. I decided to try strong-arming O2 with a £30 a month 24 months + £39.99 handset cost with 3 via Carphone Warehouse as a reason for leaving.

To go with 3 would be £10 per month extra over 24 months = £240 + £39.99 handset cost = same as Play store ignoring delivery.

O2 eventually offered unlimited texts and calls with 2Gb of data for £26 per month and £99.99 i.e. discounting handset by £200 for my loyalty over a new contract. Effective extra cost is £6 over 24 months = £144 + £99.99 = £243.99, £36 cheaper than Play store and coming to my work address tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
exactly what I said to the dude!
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Loyalty deals usually end up good :good: But to get them you've usually had to suffer through crappy contracts with the provider at some point :p
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Anyone not had an 8GB ship yet?

Working on a shipping pattern theory based on the way the US phones are being shipped, with all the 8GBs going out first followed by the 16GBs starting to go out now.

Those that received them on Wednesday were all 8GB models. Probably nothing but I think as far as the bumper is concerned it might mean that orders for the bumper are processed only after solo device orders are, even if they're in an order with a device.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
There honestly is no pattern, Google effectively pull out of a hat (wouldn't surprise me if their ordering system/server is a monkey with a pen and notepad, paper and a big hat).
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I ordered 8GB and nothing yet.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Well there certainly hasn't been any bumpers shipped yet, at least not evidenced on any thread I can find, which means they either don't have them or are avoiding shipping them for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
OK so I've been and spoken to my local Carphone Warehouse and O2.

O2 are insisting that their model (£399) is locked - I'm doubtful this is true based on:

- previous posters on this thread

- O2 staff's typical knowledge level.

My local CPW (a small store) is expecting stock tomorrow and the staff member was unaware of any SIM Free sales restrictions on the N4 (only model they have been told that they can't sell SIM free is the iPhone 5 16gb due to shortages). They've not been briefed on the phone other than that they weren't allowed to display it in store before the 15th.

Think I will:

- hope for restock tomorrow

- chase CPW and try and finesse a SIM free sale (either my local store or the one near work).

- ignore O2.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Just phoned up Google again and they told me that I will most likely get it next week as it has to be processed for another 24 hours but will most likely be sent out tomorrow - But will arrive next week. He did say there is still a chance I can get it tomorrow, but personally I doubt it.

I asked the difference between "Complete", "Delivery Estimate 15th Nov" and "Pre-order" and he told me there is pretty much no difference.

I asked if If it was first come first served for delivery. He told me not necessarily, only for orders but not for delivery (Doesn't make any sense).

Either way I just have to be patient -_-
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Anyone asked Google about the bumper issue?
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
8GB Nexus 4 just ended on ebay for £500!!

Who would pay that?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
A couple of people have rang and been told the bumper being included in the order has no effect on it.

I've sent them an email but not had anything back yet.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
£500 is such a joke, i know im excited about this phone and i really want it , but theres now way im paying nearly double just to get it now!
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I can also pay less and get it from O2 if I really want it now!
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
but are you going to pay the £380 price that cpw are selling it at?
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Nearly double? That's over double mate. 8GB is £239.
[Nexus 4 General] OriginalBilly:
Just phoned TNT too, nothing for me today.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
oh was that for the 8gb? i was basing it on the 16gb

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

So these people on ebay are basically getting there phone for free as they probably bought two, now selling one for £500...
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
Yes & to think I had accidently order 2 x 16GB both with Bumper (so wouldn't have them yet) & rang Google to cancel one of them!!
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
Price I'd heard (some many pages back) was £349.

Handtec have pre-orders for £334 but no ETA.

Either way - it depends - so maybe...

For once I have the money, the required micro SIM (which I had sent to me last week) and the time. But not the patience O_o
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
Two more 8GB Nexus 4's have just finished, where the seller doesn't have them yet for : £332 & £325

Crazy!
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Well... if I don't get any sort of shipping notice tonight, I'm going to phone and phone on this 0800 number until they give me a damn refund on my postage.

I'm just sick of Google now. The phone might be nice, but is it really worth all this hassle?
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
What hassle? The only hassle was ordering - rest of the time you've been sitting and waiting :p
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
i cant get through to my damn carphone warehouse store, there are so crap in there though, iv walked in loads of times and theres been no one in there and the phones ringing , they just dont bother
[Nexus 4 General] leerobson99:
Got mine
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Just called TNT too, very helpful. Just give them your postcode and they'll be able to tell you whether or not to expect it today.

Mine isn't out for delivery yet, for the record. I had to confirm my multiple orders yesterday and this was completed around 6pm. I then received an email from a Google rep saying my order would be processed and dispatched.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
You managed to get yours after 11am luckily. They will never give you a refund on your postage as it hasn't been shipped yet. If it has been shipped and it takes longer than 2 days then yes, I would think of asking for a refund. But this is about the actual order processing.

I even remember reading that you were giving up on Google as you were trying to order it online because you couldn't order it successfully - But then you managed to.

All I can say is:

Patience.
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
They told us that too but the test with other Sims proved them wrong. Obviously can't say whether we were lucky or they're all like that
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
Dont be so silly. If they've taken funds you've purchased a phone otherwise its theft, while google have made one almighty fook up of this they're not scam artists.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
They're all like that. O2 staff are clueless. The Nexus 4 will not be locked if you buy it from O2 sim-free or on contract.
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Can you give me the number you called? I'll try that and see what's going on :)

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
My O2 SGS2 is locked.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
0800100600
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
& waiting & waiting & waiting & waiting & waiting & waiting & waiting
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Yeah, I know I'm being super contradictory here. But I'm just saying what I'm feeling as time goes by and I get more and more impatient.

Patience, as you may be able to tell, is not my strong suit.
[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
Well mine has just arrived courtesy of TNT but I had no email to say it had been shipped, my wallet status is pending and play order status says delivery est. 15th.

I ordered 8gb only at 8:28:09 tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
That's strange... not sure why that would be maybe they tried locking them for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Dangit, you're getting my hopes up again. Now I don't want to go post things, then go to B&Q... gah.
[Nexus 4 General] OriginalBilly:
Mine says the exact same as yours. No delivery and it isn't out for delivery today either according to TNT. :(

I just want my baby in my hands. Hopefully tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
lol sorry but if you are like me, you are thankful of posts like that cos it means there is _some_ chance it will come today. :)
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
well I work for an ISP and I know of about 5 people here who all got them on Tuesday morning, 2 received theirs, me and a colleague still waiting with no updates.
[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
I rang TNT earlier and was told no delivery for me today, 1 hour later and it's here so ..... :)
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Thanks, just called - theres nothing out for delivery for me today

Means I may actually get some work done today now!!

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Wait, wahh?

Ok so maybe I won't be getting any work done :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] limpopo:
All of you who even managed to place an order, I hate you.

I got up at 0530, refreshed all morning, and got my first N4 in the basket at about 0804. Had them in the basket about ten different times that morning, but never even got to the next screen.

Why?! Is it lousy pings or something? Not being logged in to Google Wallet?

How can I ready myself for the next batch?
[Nexus 4 General] OriginalBilly:
Fingers crossed, slightest noise outside and I will be at the window now. :D
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Mine was out for delivery as of 5:40am this morning and hasn't arrived yet. It is killing me sat here waiting!
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Ring TNT then
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
But I don't have any confirmation of dispatch, or a tracking number or anything...?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
yea this is the same for my nexus 10... must be at the end of the route :(
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
*sigh* still nothing for me. Wallet pending, no money taken, play store estimated delivery today. I just want to know if I'm getting it. I have a bad feeling they'll cancel on me. Order time shows 8:26.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Time to give TNT a ring... Mine still says pending and estimated shipping today, is it worth calling or should I wait till it says shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] phemark:
Called TNT, but there isnt anything for my post code or name yet.....

waiting for google's dispatch email then....
[Nexus 4 General] john boot:
Mine was also out from early morning and Im still waiting... I contacted TNT and they cant give an estimate of delivery time & all they can say is that it will be delivered by 6pm :/ .. been up since 8am waiting and dare not step out until it arrives
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Hate to ask this again but anyone had a delivery of their phone even though they ordered a bumper as well and just didn't get the bumper?
[Nexus 4 General] StuMcBill:
Anyone in Dundee got a spare 16Gb?
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
I couldn't resist anymore and, as soon this morning I got a very good news, I was in the condition to have more money than I expected to have, so I went to o2 and grabbed one.....call me stupid for not waiting, but I'm happy now :D
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
call them and ask them to check on your address/name
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Not that I've seen, and I've been asking like crazy too :p

I asked in other countries threads too and trawled through the shipping declarations, it's the same story, doesn't look like they've shipped any bumpers at all and avoided any orders that contain one.
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
called google as the operator yesterday told me to call today if i didn't get a shipping notification. the lad was very apologetic but i asked if he could just give me an answer other than 'its processing' he went to speak to his manager and came back and said you need to sit tight and wait. My response was that I've checked and the money has left my bank, you have taken it and since then i've heard nothing. If this was any other internet based company, i'd assume you've scammed me out of my money, so give me some faith and just tell me a reasonable update and I'll happily wait another week, as long as you can give me some information.

He just sounded embarrassed, apologised again and said i wish i could. Felt sorry for the lad to be honest, been hung out to dry on this one.
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
That's why they gave me a different number when I was in store. They said to call and I pointed at their phone with 33 missed calls showing and said "5 of those are mine" lol
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Rang Google, nothing, still pending. Rant TNT, nothing on my postcode. Sigh.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
Here is my latest correspondence from Google Play support. I mentioned that I heard some orders had been shipped (and received) and asked if the email I received (pertaining to cancelling some of my multiple orders) meant I'd have to wait much longer;

So, hopefully I'll get an update soon. It also confirms that we won't get delivery on Saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
The bit about the orders being filled in the order they were received we already know is not the case
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Wow, guess I'll be skipping lectures, staying home and playing NFSMW on the Nexus 7 for the rest of the day. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Some of the saddest people on this planet must be in this thread. Step back and take a good look at yourselves.

It says it will ship by today. If it doesn't then it will be by Monday. They quite clearly state that it will be 3-5 business days.

Get a grip.

Oh, don't bother with the whole " but... but... but... he got it yesterday....crrryyyyyy" as it's utterly pathetic.
[Nexus 4 General] Epicurious:
I think the general message is 'sit tight'.

I ordered both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 at 8:31am and have not received the shipping confirmation yet. I waited the two business days and then decided to email them this morning at 10am. I got an email response saying that my order is due to ship this evening. It seemed like an auto-generated message.

Google could do with changing the wording in the Wallet - '...received your order' doesn't really give any indication as to whether the order was processed.

Either way, if you check your bank account and the money is gone I think you can pretty certain that the order has been processed (mine has) and that it will go out today and be with you by tomorrow or Friday. It would be nice to have a few more reassuring messages from Google, but hey ho... what can you do? With fairness to them, they have stuck to their original message; your order will take between three and five business days to deliver.
[Nexus 4 General] smileyanz:
Thats 5 people now who have paid for the 16 gig and have had the ,8 gig sent to them by "accident" already , there's going to be a lot of guys running home to there mums I can tell ya. Mum mum my jelly bean hasn't come "well never mind I have some in the cupboard there there!!!!! Giggles hohoho
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidAlistair:
I live outside Edinburgh and still haven't had TNT on my drive. It was dispatched his morning :(
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
Although TNT will not deliver on the weekend I was wondering if you would be able to collect from your local depot on that day?
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Careful with eBay because of the fees they love to charge you.
[Nexus 4 General] FTMDan:
Don't forget that Virgin Mobile have an amazing retention team. I was on the 30 day rolling contract paying £12 p/m for 1200 minutes, unlimited texts but 1GB of data. I called the retention team and basically made up a fictitious offer that 3 offered me a better deal. The woman got back to me and offered me 1200 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data for £10 a month.

I am very pleased because the T&Cs also state it is truly unlimited and you are allowed to tether. Can't wait for my Nexus 4 now :)
[Nexus 4 General] felleese:
I've read things like this a few times and to be honest all the fees add up to a little over a quid on average. The extra you'll make by selling it on eBay as opposed to trading it in makes it well worth it.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
eBay fees are 10% of the selling price, up to a max of £40, so much more than the odd quid on a phone, and then you have PayPal's cut on top of that.

Not to mention the potential insertion fees if you go overboard on the auction.
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
Great deal!! What about speeds on Virgin ?? Any news about DC-HSPA+?? For me Three is best so far , its fastest UK network but also heard about this new DC coming to other networks as well. If Virgin have it than is best on UK market thanks to 1200 minutes incl and should be unlimited calls between Virgin numbers...
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
they don't have my model laptop :(

Personally I want to stay away from online payment/delivery, I might just take it in its box down to Tottenham court road and see how much they'll offer...
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Virgin use EE who have DC-HSPA but seen as virgin are sharing the network i don't know if EE will let them use it.
[Nexus 4 General] FTMDan:
I'm not too sure yet as I don't have a phone (Sent my GNex back to Amazon for a full refund, waiting for the N4). I'll do some speedtests when I get up and running. One thing is for sure; the general signal/coverage is much better for me than when I was on O2/Giffgaff. Just the other day I was in an underground train station. My friends had an iPhone 5 on O2 and a Orange San Francisco on Giffgaff and their signal was completely gone whilst mine was spot on.
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
I have a $40 invoice waiting for me next month (which isn't exactly noticeable; just accidentally found it when looking at my profile settings), after selling about 6 things (listed 8) for around $400.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
EBay charges 10% of the final selling price, you don't have to pay it til around a month later. Still usually works out much better than those phone recycling sites or classifieds.

Mint HOXs seem to be going for around £250 on Gumtree or just over £300 on eBay. If the N4 is available at CPW I'll probably just use Gumtree to save any hassle.

We should make this the official N4 UK thread.
[Nexus 4 General] felleese:
I stand corrected, I didn't know about that 10% eBay take.

I've just signed up with three. I have the one plan and I get the HTC one S for £22/month. I intend to sell the one s brand new.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Well I've sold my galaxy nexus one ebay for 215 minus all fees it worked out about 190 which is more than let's say recycling places or cex.

However, if you have an old phone its better to sell it at cex. Any recycling place will offer me about 60 quid for my desire hd. On ebay in the condition its now I won't get more than 80 (and take away fees from that). cex on the other hand will give me 82 minimum for the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Good plan. Not bad for that phone and contract, either!
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Ebay/paypal rob you blind in my opinion. You sell something for 250 and they will take about 35 in total in fees. I currently have my note on here for 250, gumtree for 250 and have a reservation on a mobile recycling site for 196 which will be honoured for another 2 weeks. The good thing about mobile recycling sites is there is zero hassle from my experience, but you always get less monies :(

Sent by Galaxy Note
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I wouldn't be so sure about no hassle, my experiences have been good, but I've read some horror stories about them too!
