haha love it, I wonder if the seller will reinvest profits and go and buy two from O2 and sell them again. I am seeing an awful pyramid scheme going :D
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
I think google are going to offer some compensation for this. They were giving out £25 vouchers for people who had to pay slightly more for the nexus 7, so for this im hoping for some decent compensation.

Also the three people i spoke to said everyone who got the email will experience a delay and they didn't send it out by mistake
[Nexus 4 General] Trauma208:
Just received my shipping email. Did not receive an email about duplicate orders yesterday.

[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Throw in a free wireless charging pod :D

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Interesting... I take it you didn't you get the 3 week email?
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Did you get the backorder email?
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
Ok so

1 N4 8Gb

Ordered 08:20:34 Tuesday

Just got shipping email at 2032

Google play says shipped

Google wallet says complete

Money reserved in bank

Yay

Sent from my mind to yours.
[Nexus 4 General] Trauma208:
No backorder email
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
Mine got back ordered, 16Gb, no bumper. I accidentally ordered 2, but cancelled one, maybe they put me on the back order list because of this?
[Nexus 4 General] ouchadam:
Just received my shipping email, although my tracking number points to a delivery made on 1/11/2012.

I ordered 2 8gbs at 8.57am
[Nexus 4 General] Trauma208:
Just to confirm

Nexus 4 (8GB)

Order date: Nov 13, 2012 12:39:08 AM PST

Yes Tracking Number 7:06 PM

No Backorder email

No Dublicate email

I did however order 3 8gbs by mistake but cancelled 2 within 15 Minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
And you're getting both?
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
You did the right thing and now you are being rewarded my son:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
Is anyone else thinking now about going with the 24 month contracts?

Thinking of going with the £30 a month and £39.99 for the phone with 3, my local carphone warehouse is still in stock however the one a few miles away has sold out.
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I just received my shipping email.

No duplicate but I accidentally ordered two but cancelled one yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] RedBlueGreen:
those are fake bids.... the same person bidded from 530 to 740

who does that? no one.
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
back order email?
[Nexus 4 General] ronak47:
Ok so now I'm really f*cked off! After not receiving the email from the staff at google regarding my order I decided to call back and I have now been told my phone is definitely on back order and will be up to 3 weeks... Thanks google for showing me you have pi$$ poor service and a long way to go before you can dream of replacing apple!
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
I can't believe how piss poor this is from Google!
[Nexus 4 General] redmongoose:
Ordered 1 x N4 16GB & 1 X N10 16GB 08:15 on 13th

I did not get the back order message.

Just received shipping confirmation. :highfive:

Good luck to those still waiting. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
(30 * 24) + 39.99 = £759.99

Whereas going sim-only:

(12.90 * 24) + 279 = £588.60 (200 minutes, 5000 texts, unlimited internet, 1-month contract)

So you would save up to £171.39 by going sim-only, provided that you are patient.
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
No back order email.

Also the TNT tracking is showing an item that was delivered so I know they're recycling numbers but what is the cance of it arriving tomorrow?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] colloque:
So did any body still received their shipping confirmation email after receiving the backorder mail?
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Everyone who has received a back order email is your order still showing a shipping date of the 15th on google play?
[Nexus 4 General] EroThraX:
I just received shipping notification at 21:01, that's a relief.

08:37 order time, no backorder notification, order status was complete and still states complete atm.

Such a ****ty situation still.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Very high.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Let me guess... 8GB?
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
Looks like the back orders are actually being delayed, everyone whos getting shipping emails did not get back order emails.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
8GB is irrelevant. I'm 8GB and on backorder.
[Nexus 4 General] EroThraX:
Nope, 16GB.

There is no rhyme or reason to google.
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
Yeah I already did the maths :) but am still thinking about doing it, thoughts?
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Yep. Nothing has changed since I ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Hmm, most of those I've seen being delivered are 8gbs though.

I just want someone who got the backorder email to say they got the shipping confirmation too. Come on Google, you've been so inconsistent so far, don't let us down now! Time to get consistent with the inconsistency.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
YESSSSS MINE HAS SHIPPED. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
[Nexus 4 General] ronniel88:
Mine was 8.36am, doesn't even say complete. Utterly useless
[Nexus 4 General] ScuzUK:
Ok so I was on "Pending" in Wallet and Play had me down as Estimated 15th

I've just had my shipping email.

Wallet now has it under "Completed" and Play now says "Shipped"
[Nexus 4 General] pro4ever:
anyone gonna order from o2 or wait??:(:(
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
You're right.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Just spoke to google again and this time they told me that 3 weeks is the worst case scenario and it could be within the next couple of days. Make your mind up google!
[Nexus 4 General] sjgore:
Hearing all these horror stories about 3 week waits, no more stock for weeks, etc, I am now almost prepared to pay £399 for one if I can walk into an O2 store tomorrow and walk out with one. Almost....
[Nexus 4 General] Marshton:
Just received shipping details, ordered at 08:56am 13/11 (I think I had one of the last)

8gb Nexus 4, no Bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
Backorderers;

What did your order say 15th/Completed/Preorder, and what does it say now?

My last glimmers of hope are fading fast now. Still no email one way or the other. Genuinely feel bad for those who have been delayed.
[Nexus 4 General] pro4ever:
how quick does it come from o2 online?
[Nexus 4 General] pnnorth:
The status of my order has been showing as 'pre-ordered' since yesterday. I ordered a 16g and bumper as separate orders.

I've just received my tracking email for the N4 (I didn't receive the email about being put on back order).

I feel for those of you that have been put on back order - it's p*ss poor to have been treated in that way. I hope it turns out to be incorrect.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Mine said completed on Play, Pending on Wallet. Got the backorder e-mail and nothing has changed.

Google are geniuses. How long before someone cracks the glass on their device and then receives the bumper a day later. I'd be livid.
[Nexus 4 General] ouchadam:
yep, one for me and the other for a friend to save some money on shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
I'm giving up trying to find patterns. Anyone eligible to join my newly established No Email Crew at least?
[Nexus 4 General] ronniel88:
Anyone else still getting the 'estimated to ship 15th' status and no backorder OR shipping email yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Mine hasn't changed at all online. When you ring them up they ask you whether you have recieved the email or not, they don't even know.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Guys

1. This was always happening to google, I mean piss poor CS.

2. Do you really believe that this phone wouldn't be on back order even if you had pre order or god knows how many units?? This phone and PAYG sim beats everything out there price/spec wise

3. This sh!t is happening even to companies like Apple, look at iPad and iPhone 5, iPhone was released weeks a go and its still on 2-3 shipping...

Well I'm more than eager to buy one for £400, but I'd rather wait and save few quid in the long run. My Desire HD is piss!ng me off big time but I'll manage those few weeks.

And, by that time all issues will be exposed and bugs should be ironed out :)
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
This isn't fair at all :(

I ordered at 8:33:30 am, for just 1 Nexus 4 16GB.

Few minutes later (because I was unaware that the 16 had actually gone through the system, thanks to the errors and loading issues) I ordered the 8GB since the 16GB was not available anymore, and decided to hell with it, I'll make do with an 8GB. Soo ... after that was done and dusted, got 2 separate emails saying I have the 16GB on one order and the 8GB on another, so I quickly as I could canceled the 8GB. I don't even have the money in my account for both, so panicked my bank would do something like freeze my account or give me fees for going over my over draft.

So after that, I decided to check my bank account just in case, and it says my balance is the same as before I ordered the phones, but available is 0 pounds? I'm with HSBC by the way, used a debit card.

I have no idea if that has anything to do with my delay/backordered single Nexus 4 16GB.

Google ... this love hate relationship is annoying me.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
I don't mind that you're getting two. But I thought people who ordered more than one were on backorder.

Another lie from Google I see. Not that I can say I'm surprised.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
I'm beginning to think this isn't as bad as it seems. Three weeks is worst case scenario. I'm thinking most of us will receive it within the next week or so. Chill out everyone!
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
To the people who have got shipping emails recently.. did you get backorder email?..
[Nexus 4 General] mys3:
I didnt
[Nexus 4 General] Trauma208:
No, sorry.
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
me I am.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Damn. Guess it'll be at least a week before I get mine -_-
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
I ddnt

Sent from my mind to yours.
[Nexus 4 General] redmongoose:
No
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Well I'm pretty certain that I'm gonna send my S2 off to a recycling place for circa £150 and then buy from a shop as will be no more than my S2 +£250 so in total I'm not out of pocket as was gonna give my mum my old phone originally. I just can't be bothered with this Internet shopping malarky :p Will see who has stock this weekend. Plus I've always preferred walking into a shop and getting exchanges/issues sorted out in person.

Feel sorry for all those that have been messed about though, hopefully it's not 3 weeks as that would impact everyone else waiting to buy one still.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
:eek: One of my orders changed to Delivered and in wallet it says shipped!!! Still waiting on email.. I got backorder too.

Edit: Got the email.
[Nexus 4 General] ouchadam:
I was also worried about the dreaded backorder email seeing as I had ordered 2, especially seeing as I ordered so late (8.57am).

This entire process has been handled poorly, with the lack of preorders, lack of stock and general lack of customer support.

But we <3 Google, right?
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
:laugh: I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Now to hope it happens to the rest of us.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
Yes, that would be me. Are there even emails still being sent out? Either type. Wondering if the back orders were sent in bulk, and the confirmations are a trickle. It would sort of make sense - but in this scenario, sense doesn't seem to be entering into it.

Painfully botched launch, Google. I hope they don't waste too much time explaining and apologising for this. I don't mean that in a spoilt bratish self entitled way; this is just ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Everyone got the backorder at once and the emails are being sent as each phone is scanned into the system and assigned to a person, or so I'd imagine.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Good luck to you all.
[Nexus 4 General] ronniel88:
Hopefully we will get shipping confirmation soon then. I guess there is a huge amount shipping so will take a while for all of them to be scanned. I seem to remember last night people were getting shipping confirmations up until about 11.30

*praying*
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
Did you get the back order email?
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I did :)
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Just to confirm, this guy got the backorder email and then shipping confirmation. :victory:

There's still hope people :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
I didn't either
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
How can we do a poll to see who is in what situation. Would be interesting to know proportion of people who have got theres.
[Nexus 4 General] philmein:
Just had confirmation email 21.40 GMT so they are still scanning nexuxes
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
STOP GIVING ME HOPE! It makes me sad when I get nothing ):
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
I can sort that out.

Would people find that useful? What options would you like me to provide?

---------------------------

I think Google are sending the e-mail out to everyone and then people with multiple orders are kinda like "oh screw it, I'll wait" - they get cancelled, freeing up ONE device (as they ordered two, but only one is available and Google won't only ship half the order) and passing it on to someone who only ordered one. That seems like a logical reason, right?

But then again... this IS Google we're talking about. :p :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Maybe email or no email, and shipped/shipping or nothing (4 options)
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Ahh hell yeah! That makes me happy, my order seems to be exactly the same as yours, even the same phone we were using before ordering the Nexus 4 :P But I'm keeping my xperia play as my back up phone hah, since its more then just a phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Back order e-mail

No back order e-mail

Shipping e-mail

No shipping e-mail

Nothing (ordered)

Nothing (didn't order)

?
[Nexus 4 General] Sarg92:
I ordered two 16GB Nexus 4's and one 8GB Nexus 4 in a single order at 08:14 and today at 20:02 I received confirmation that my order has been despatched and I have a TNT tracking number.

Should get the phones tomorrow, I hope!
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Anyone with a bumper ordered had the order shiped?
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Good luck :) I think I'll miss it, was a one-of-a-kind phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] sarkster:
Just received my shipping email from google. I ordered at 8:30 on launch day and am midlands based. Hopefully I was part of another big chunk of shipped phones for you guys. :)
[Nexus 4 General] RichySamui:
And if you're not patient (like me) you'd save £51.99 if you get the phone off contract from o2 tomorrow:

(12.90 * 24)309 + 399 = £708 (200 minutes, 5000 texts, unlimited internet, 1-month contract)
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Woooo Hooooo

Its shipped :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] ronniel88:
16GB? What was your order status?
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Any of these recent shipping emails are from orders of phone plus bumper?
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
No need for the nothings

1. Backorder and no shipping

2. Backorder and shipping/shipped

3. No backorder and no shipping

4. No backorder and shipping/shipped
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
Or...

1. Buy 2 off contract from O2 tomorrow (2 * 399 = £798)

2. Sell 1 on eBay for £760 + postage like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-GOOGLE...31736?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item20cd794ab8

3. Get an N4 now for £38....

I'm beginning to consider paying the O2 premium myself, and selling my Galaxy Nexus to cover the difference - I'm hoping to get some clarity on SIM free availability for CPW tomorrow though so will see what transpires then..
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
As far as I can see if you've ordered a bumper with a phone you aren't getting your phone - No that I can see has had a shipping order who also purchased a bumper! Why!?

That's me stuffed then!
[Nexus 4 General] sighmoan:
After growing increasingly disgusted with google and this utter farce; I have just received my shipping email.

I thought I would add my ordering experience details to the thread:

Items: 16GB only, NO bumper.

Location: Inner London

Order Date: 13 November 2012 08:20:22 UTC

Order status on Wallet for entire period since then: Pending

Order status on play for entire period since order: Estimated Shipping date 15/11/2012

I received absolute no emails from google relating to the order until the shipping confirmation.

No confirmation of order.

No 3-week delay email.

The status of the wallet and play store transaction moved to completed and shipped respectively, at the same time the shipping email arrived

So, if you have heard nothing yet, there is still hope that it will be shipped today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] rec71:
I got the "order shipped" email at 6:30PM last night and the phone arrived at 11AM this morning (Calne, Wiltshire). I couldn't track it on the TNT site until this morning when I realised it was already out on the van. When I bought a Nexus 7 Google sent the tracking info 5 days after I'd taken delivery.

The phone is MUCH better in the hand than pictures on the web can do justice. My SE Xperia arc S is going on eBay tomorrow.

One thing I've noticed is that it's quite hard to get the micro USB charger out - it's a really tight fit. Anyone else?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
So did anyone at all manage to get a bumper shipped? lol

I've had the backorder email and I'm not really holding my breath for a dispatch any time soon, I just hope there's no more surprises in store for me.
[Nexus 4 General] pnnorth:
Mine is still showing as to be shipped on the 15th. I suppose there is a chance it may arrive tomorrow in the same box as my N4 but that would be way too efficient for the ****e store to have orchestrated.
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
309 + 399 = 588?? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I suppose the bumper theory will be clarified Friday, Monday and Tuesday as theoretically they don't have any device stock currently so the only thing they can do is ship out to those who ordered the bumper separately. If they don't send it then it's possible they've never had it in stock at all.
[Nexus 4 General] sarkster:
Previously it said expected shipping date of 15th. Now it says shipped. And yes, 16gb.
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
No backlog email & no shipping yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
... looks like the shipping emails have stopped coming through?
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
I'm on hold to Google - have been for 20+ minutes, I've got someone who is actually trying to sort out whats going on! Shock
[Nexus 4 General] ronniel88:
Hopefully because people are too busy doing a jig with joy to post on here :)
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Let us know how that goes. I've tried three times on the phone. No luck at all.
[Nexus 4 General] RichySamui:
Oops! Should have read £708 total, but the saving is still £51.99 :-p
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Lots of people in the US are getting the same backlog emails.
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
And at the end of the 26 minute phone call - I've found out that I don't have a shipping number and they are trying to work out why - it doesn't make sense.

I already knew that!!! JOY!
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
So you're off the phone now? They'll just have said that to make you stop trying. Like earlier, when they said they'd open a case for me to find out why I got the backlog email.

They can't do anything, so they do anything to get you off the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I'd guess the backlog order is an attempt to get us off their backs, saying three weeks and crediting the shipping fee basically means we shouldn't expect any correspondence for 19-20 days.

However, I imagine most of us will see our devices long before we approach the three week mark, they just want us to leave the customer service line alone. That being said all logical reasoning I've presumed from this launch hasn't necessarily come to fruition :p

I'm admitting defeat and letting go of some of my expectation after the backorder email, it'll get to me when it gets to me.
[Nexus 4 General] Barguast:
Really? That's how the call ended? I sympathise with call centre staff, I bet it's frustrating as hell. I hope Google are aware of how badly this is going... again. Half a year after the last time it happened (thankfully I sat that debacle out).

Still no email one way or the other.
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I received my shipped email tonight but because I live in N.Ireland I can only expect delivery Monday because they will probably ship it out of the mainland tomorrow to arrive at Belfast tomorrow night or Saturday.

Is this true or can I expect it delivered to the door tomorrow?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
This right here my friend, is my last hope. I sold my GNexus......a dumb phone is so....dumb.:)

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Lucky sod, I am in Northern Ireland as well. TNT have a depot right beside the International airport and I THINK they are open Saturday 0800-1800, call them and see, maybe you can go get it. I am in Fermanagh.....but I would have gone up if mine had been there. Alas I got the backorder email.....
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Can I just clarify....

Have people who received the 3 weeks back order email then had an email to say it has been shipped with TNT?

If that's true, Google are total ****ing idiots!
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Poll says at least 1 person has had this happen.
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
Sorry to hear that friend.

Thanks for the advice, I think I remember the depot now and I should be able to go and pick it up.
[Nexus 4 General] Evostance:
Think there needs to be another option to the poll

"Play Store kept emptying my basket so I couldn't order one"
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
So does anyone know what will happen with our money? Will it just be on hold until they finally ship it to us?

My problem exactly. So I didn't get a 16GB and the 8GB I did get was at 11:14
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I'm really tempted just to cancel and use my HOX..... It could be a day or 20 before it's shipped and I'll probably have a BB10 after new year anyway...
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Yes
[Nexus 4 General] Anwar75:
Shipping confirmation

Hi guys, first post. Just to let you know that I received my shipping email about 5 minutes ago. So it seems that the emails are still being sent. Hopefully some others get it too.

I ordered the 16gb version.
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Not sure if anyone is interested but google stock is down about 3% since they went up for sale on Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
More info please?

Can you tell us your order time, backorder email etc please?
[Nexus 4 General] Anwar75:
Sorry, forgot to write that. I ordered at 08:24, no bumper ordered and I never got the backorder email. Play account showing as delivered and google wallet updated to "shipped"
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
I got backordered and I order a 16GB, no bumper, at 08.31am.
[Nexus 4 General] Leong428:
So it seems like all of us who ordered bumpers with the Nexus 4 have been backordered? Interesting to note that I can't find users posting up pictures of their Nexus with the bumper on.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Screw it. I'm going into O2 tomorrow and buying one. I can't be bothered to wait three weeks for a slight chance to ORDER a device. I'll trade a load of tech I've got lying around, including my HTC Desire, and get money off whatever I can. Hopefully I can last until Christmas when I should get some more money.

Fed up of Google now. They're just awful at this online commerce thing.
[Nexus 4 General] shaneydroid:
Got my email a little earlier saying my order had shipped.

Ordered at 8:36am Tuesday and the shipping email arrived about 8:30pm tonight.

I'm still feeling paranoid though since the TNT number given in my email is showing tracking for a consignment of 10 items for a company which was delivered and signed for by the company 2 weeks ago.

So not only have I not got my tracking details, I have the details for a company which I should surely not have access to?
