oh my god...

guys... it's... it's beautiful... it's..

brb i need to cry...
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
AHHHHH send me my phone already! Date changed yesterday but only on play, and still no shipping!
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
Okay, slight panic... what process is the tracking information...

I just clicked the tracking ID and it says:

Is this... normal? Is this showing the phone has been delivered to be sent out to me?
[Nexus 4 General] errukine:
Check the date ;)

They're re-using an old tracking number, in 24 hours it should update with your details.
[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:
Got home to the stunning phone. Unfortunately my wife has taken it because I was being cheap and ordered her the 8GB version which isnt due for another 2 weeks ( if we're lucky) so I have to wait till her phone comes while she uses my phone in the mean time.:(
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
I'm so happy :crying:

I don't care about the phone right now, I'm happy about the email haha! I might print it and frame it :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
Received the phone. Omg it was so worth the wait. Nw how do i get my shipping money back? I'm a 3-5 dayer
[Nexus 4 General] Nextass4:
That shows its delivered. Are you the signatory? Maybe your neighbor has it?
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
I'm from Southampton - definitely not - apparently it's because they reuse tracking numbers - panic over, for now :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] tophelecool:
Anyone know what's happening with the 8gb? Mine was 4 to 5 weeks on the 4th. Anyone had theirs sent yet that was a 4-5 weeker?!
[Nexus 4 General] mjb1975:
Shipped!!!! Email arrived ten minutes ago or so. Woo and hoo.

That's a 16gb phone, 4 Dec, 1707 1-2 weeker. SE London/NW Kent.

Am off work for xmas thankfully. Not going anywhere tomorrow! :D
[Nexus 4 General] manook:
Just fitted the nexus 4 skin from bestskinsever.com until my case arrives. Looks the mutts nuts now and i have some peace of mind!
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
Urghh dude, have you got the same tracking number as me? Because my one displays exactly the same information....
[Nexus 4 General] wilfmoralee:
Received my Nexus today - woo!

Just wanted to point out though to those that don't forward plan (like me), unless you already have one phone your network and get a micro sim ordered pronto. Phoned orange tonight but now another 3-5 day wait until I can properly use the phone :(

Looks like I'm stuck with the X10 mini for another couple of days. Hope it comes before the weekend.
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
Any details differ?
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
No, its exactly the same, check your PM.

19 Dec 2012	20:10:02	PARK ROYAL	Shipment received at destination depot.

19 Dec 2012	19:11:58	PARK ROYAL	Company closed on delivery attempt. Follow up actions underway.

19 Dec 2012	09:55:54	PARK ROYAL	Out for delivery.

19 Dec 2012	07:22:46	PARK ROYAL	Shipment received at destination depot.

This would be great except the estimated delivery date was 10:00 - 18:00, and the door to the delivery address was literally open for the past four hours. I was there, and I made sure. Plus they didn't leave a card.

But hey. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] manook:
Ive used scissors and online guides multiple times and not had a problem..
[Nexus 4 General] CaspaTheGhost:
Scissors mate, butcher it.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
When will this drama end! Looks like me and Pottrell have the same tracking number... wtf!!
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
My package, "Please Call" yesterday and this morning, "Out for Delivery" from 10am today until now, has gone back to "Please Call".

I could only take 10 minutes of the torture that is TNT's on-hold music and multiple voices which seem designed to make you think the call has been answered then realise 2 seconds later it has not, while playing music that is destroyed by mobile phone codecs.

So who knows what'll happen on Groundhog Delivery Day 3.

I feel like Google, and now TNT, owe me a nice meal at a fancy restaurant and some expensive jewelry; it's the least they could do after ****ing me day after day.

Maybe you'll see me on the news tomorrow, running naked through the streets of London because I just can't take it anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
Guys, this sh*t is well worth the wait. Forget about the IPHONE SMOOTH. This phone is N4 SMOOTH.
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
I think you're looking at the consignment number, which ends with 494. My tracking ID given by Google ends with 410. I'm GUESSING, it will go to a unique page when it's ready
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
Now I am confused, what do you mean? Have you got two different numbers?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Anyone know if my Nexus 4 1-2 weeker came today can I claim shipping refund? Its a day late lol :P
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
Google have given me the shipping number ending with 410. I click it and it goes to TNT website where that same shipping ID is in the text field. I click Track and it goes to a page with out of date tracking information on it (from July) the consignment ID ends with 494.

I'm guessing this is someones old tracking ID and mine will reset later.
[Nexus 4 General] knoxie:
ha ha your soooo right, I have been messing about with it all day, the only minor thing is I dont like the bottom mounted charge input (it makes using it whilst its charging a bit awkward and viewing angle isnt quite as good as other phones but when you view it full on the screen is top notch.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
the consignment number stays the same, but after a few hours, you'll see your own order under the old one from July
[Nexus 4 General] DesolateEgo:
Haha I know exactly how you feel, getting so frustrating.
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
So if I understand this right, your tracking ID is different to the one they sent me, but is pointing to the same old parcel. That is rather strange indeed.
[Nexus 4 General] useless123:
Whoop!

Shipping email received @ 18.06

Another NI user here, UTI/Techdata tracking number. Has anyone from NI received their's yet and if so what courier was used?

Many thanks. Over the moon :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] vlad1:
Finally picked up from the Park Royal TNT depot - it was quite interesting as they don't have a dedicated pickup facility and you have to get a visitor's jacket and use the same office all the couriers use. Anyway, thanks a lot guys for this thread
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Are you guys making sure you are clicking on the reference number option rather than the consignment number option?
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
Tmobile charge £10 for new sim, don't know about orange but i think its same....its hell easy to cut with scissors. already done it about 8-10 times in the last 2 years.
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
Just got another email - First one said Processing, it's now officially set to SHIPPED - Now my tracking ID is Not Found :D
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
Today is not a day late - you're given a shipping estimate - not a delivery estimate. :p
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
Got mine yesterday, if I hold it near my ear and shake it I can hear a little rattle, it doesn't bother me but is it something I should worry about ?
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:

shipping email

Got my shipping email, 16GB ordered 4th 17:07, can't wait. Best of luck to those still waiting!
[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
Got my phone today after a missed delivery yesterday, and I've got to say - this phone is amazing! Those of you still waiting will not be disappointed!
[Nexus 4 General] edge12345:
guys ..i guess all the 1-2 weeks ones have been shipped ....does anyone with 5-6 week got emails regarding the shipment ???
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Woohoo, got mine at just before six today. Any 3-5 day people got any info on the shipping refund?
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
I was just wondering if any 6-7 weekers had gotten their device. A friend of mine has his already? I ordered on 8th. On back order now. Contacted Google CS, to no avail, to see what was with the deliveries. Weren't very helpful. Guess I'll just have to wait, hopefully not until the 23rd or Jan. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
I got a micro sim free from Orange, just rang up and asked for one, told them I had bought a new phone. New one arrived in 3 days
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Very similar story for me. My shipping emails, yes both of them, were late yesterday evening and this morning my tracking had briefly shown in "transit" and also slightly later "out for delivery". Check it again an hour later and it was "Please call" and so I called my nearest depot and it was the same response you got, TNT don't have the package because Google didn't give it to them.

Hopefully TNT get it tonight so that I can have it tomorrow at some stage.
[Nexus 4 General] dijonemon:
FRAGILE. That is to say, I've read FAR too many horror stories whilst waiting for my phone to arrive. The glass feels great but it's just way too easy to drop or smack it into some furniture whilst its in your pocket.

If you don't have kids, then it could be fine. For me, it's a no-brainer to get a proper case and protectors. Mine should be with me in the next couple of days. Until then, it won't even go in my pocket.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
If I go to my local T-Mobile or EE store will they cut my current sim to micro for free? I'm half way through a contract so I gotta stick with em.
[Nexus 4 General] Littlemuff:
You can download a template online. Just google it. Print it out then cut along the lines.
[Nexus 4 General] teekaytk:
Three replaced my sim there and then but new sim took 24 hours to activate. I would rather go to a "mobile unlocking" shop and pay them to cut my sim . They usually have sim cutters. It looks like a stapler
[Nexus 4 General] arj154:
finally got my nexus 4 at 5pm today after a very interesting driver turned up. Loving it so far, already rooted it :P although i think im gonna keep it stock
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
well...i just cant relax with this nexus. My friend doesn't know if it can let the courier to pick up the package at his work. He will ask tomorrow at the security guys if he can. If he get a positive answer then i will call ups for a "nextday" on friday...otherwise i will have to wait until early january...

...my mind cant rest...i have to pray until tomorrow :(
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Has anyone new received their shipping email this evening?

I have this vision of all the dregs from last night (that are in "please call" or "short shipped" status) sitting in a lonely corner of C2K's warehouse and nobody telling TNT to come collect them if no new ones have gone out tonight ...
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
has anyone contacted google recently about them getting more stock ?
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
Several, including myself have.
[Nexus 4 General] sav_uk:
I'm such a thicko for cancelling my order.
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
I have at 730

[Nexus 4 General] kxuli:
FINALLY...ordered 4th Dec, changed to pre-ordered, then GP changed to 19th, and today at 18:30 shipped...hopefully it will arrive tomorrow ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
Just got an email from Google Play stating they've refunded £9.99 (the shipping costs). Anybody else had this yet?
[Nexus 4 General] ConnorPayne:
Just got in, Nexus arrived at 7pm so an hour after. Loving it already, such a big step up since my Galaxy Ace
[Nexus 4 General] adamase:
Yep, mine just came too.
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
Can't say for sure, but I'd guess they are getting things sorted and working out exactly what's going on before letting people know there's more.

On a side note, seeing shipping refund receipt emails going out, which again is great news and positive action!!!
[Nexus 4 General] doodle moo:
Ordered 17:07:59 4th and had to update my payment on the 16th and finally received my shipping email!!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Let's assume that al the 3 - 5 day and 1 - 2 week people have got there phone (I know they all haven't but this is just a question) what do you think would be the next batch, would it be 2 - 3, or 2 - 3 AND 3 - 4 (assuming they're doing it it doubles) I know it sounds stupid and people will probably moan at me for doing it but it's just nice to ask.
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
5-6 weeks here and no emails. I called yet again too see why there was a discrepancy in my account. I paid on the 4th yet the payment didn't clear until the 6th. CSR of course had no clue. Said he would put in a note to escalate it to check what happened there... blah blah blah.

Gives me time to look for case and screen protector (on the bright side).
[Nexus 4 General] ozzjim:
I am a 5-6 weeker, but worried we will go through what the 1-2 weekers did!

I am hoping that there will have been a fairly large tail off in ordering when the delivery estimates went over 4-5 weeks, so we might be sorted all in 1 go that have back ordered, but some kind of assurance that they will be able to get the stock after the scarce and erratic comment is concerning.

I am scouring ebay now people are getting them to see if I can get one at an odd time close to cost.
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
Just got that too. Refund done. All sorted at my end. I guess something will show up on my credit card for the first time in this whole process.
[Nexus 4 General] timtime:
Just got my shipping refund email too- not been charged yet though so I am currently +£9.99 and a nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
So I've got my shipping email - anyone know when I should expect it? Tomorrow? Friday? If so, is there any sorta pattern as to the time of day? (Friend who is staying at the address where it's getting shipped to wants to know when he needs to wake up :P)
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
Same here. No credit card activity at all.
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
i'd like actual shipping, let alone a shipping refund. :)

I left angry/sarcastic screeds with both Google and TNT support. Couldn't help it. This situation is a joke. Now into day 3 of "shipping" limbo.

TNT's system now seems as confused as Google's (probably as a result of Google feeding it bogus data), and their tracking is useless (different tracking methods contradict each other, and anything unusual turns into "Please Call" instead of at least explaining the situation in the status message like any reasonable system would).

Neither company properly investigates or confirms anything. If their computer says something they claim it's true even when the other company's computer -- and reality itself -- contradicts it. If there's a problem it has to fester for days before they'll take it seriously & actually do anything (assuming they ever will).

I'm not even sure who has my package for real at the moment. I'm not even sure there IS a package. Maybe there's just a shipping label sitting in a warehouse or going around London in the back of a van. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Roguestar:
4th December, 17:12, Play status pre-ordered, date bumped to '19th December', no further emails.

Just got off the phone to a rather helpful CSR called Jason. He claims that I phoned at a time when my order was being updated so despite no shipping email, my order has been processed and payment has been taken. He told me there was a tracking number attached too, and while on the phone I looked up my Wallet account and transaction says 'Shipped', with payment taken and tracking number attached. Still no email, but perhaps that'll come through shortly.

Progress!

Edit:

UTI Tracking (N. Ireland) shows this:

Origin Branch	Destination Branch	Mode	Date Booked

BIRMINGHAM	DUBLIN	TRUCK	19DEC12
[Nexus 4 General] Screaming Chief:
Curious as to whether it's just 3-5 dayers or also 1-2 weekers that are receiving shipping refunds ?

Cheers.
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
I got a shipping refund email, 3-5 days.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Like what? Get their phones on time? Is that a worry :confused:

I'm a 5-6 weeker. Expecting mine sometime around 14th Jan, give or take a week.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
TNT failed to deliver today when it was loaded in their van at 8am. Called them and woman said she will get them to deliver tomorrow. Now status changed the awaiting customer to collect. Called them as I didn't arrange this and also asked If I can collect and they said Google have asked to resend queries to them. The incompetency is amazing.
[Nexus 4 General] beljohn:
I had mine delivered to Belfast yesterday, if yours is anything like mine the routing is a little odd as they use a few different couriers to get the parcel to your house.

UTI->GLS->Parcelforce

If you look on the UTI shipping page (the one thats in your shipping mail) you should see a Client Reference, DIR 21101xxxxx.

You can use that reference on the GLS shipping page here: https://gls-group.eu/EU/en/home

When the parcel hits GLS you'll get a page which will eventually also show the Parcel Force parcel number, EC45xxxxxxGB.

Thats the final reference you need to see the Parcelforce status, it was a Parcelforce van that delivered mine, you can check the status of that here:

http://www.parcelforce.com/track-trace

I had phoned the UTI office in Dublin yesterday to find out how it was being routed.
[Nexus 4 General] Roguestar:
Thanks for the details mate! :good:

I'm a bit worry about the short shipped thing, any ideas whats happening?
[Nexus 4 General] Roguestar:
Means Google didn't actually send it to them, according to earlier in this thread, have a read back a few pages - other people having the same issue.
[Nexus 4 General] anmo:
but the tracking history said "Freight Received", so it is fake? Did the earlier thread also shipped by UTI?

anyway,thanks:) It would be easier if it is google's fault.
[Nexus 4 General] useless123:
Guys just thought I would post this for the benefit of any Irish members trying to track their "UTI" numbers.

Clicking the link in your email offers no information, however if you query it on the actual UTi Worldwide website the tracking details are available.

http://www.go2uti.com/

Just pop the number into the Track a Shipment box up the top right and bob's your uncle ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Thanks for the info. Those boys must have had so many calls from us.

What sort of timescale does it transfer from GLS to Parcelforce, do you know? Mine is still in Dub, hasn't hit GLS yet, but the guy said I would have it "tomorrow" i.e. Thurs.
[Nexus 4 General] FTMDan:
Got my N4 today (3-5 dayer), just checked my online banking account and the £288.99 has been refunded?
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I have:

Order Date: 13 November 2012 00:23:16 UTC-8

And I'm still pending, money been taken out though.
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
They took my money (or I managed to order 150 USB OTG wires) around 10AM, I ordered 08:32:40 UTC and I still dont have it
[Nexus 4 General] :
No money been taking from my account yet, well it doesnt show up yet so could have.. google wallet doesnt tell me that they have done so.
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I ordered one extra by mistake and they sent me an email allowing me to cancel it which was great. But still have the other pending.

I wish they would hurry and give some insight into this.

I hate new product launches.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Wait! What was the F5 method?
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
It all depends on the bank. Mine deducts pre-authorizations off the balance. But I know some banks don't so if you called the bank and asked I think everyone would find the money is still there.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
With those stock rumours, however, everyone and their mothers are going to be spamming their F5 keys all day. Either stock could disappear just as quick or the servers will die again.. or both.

Either way, I'm certainly hoping I'll get a device. If not, I'm sure I can wait another two weeks or so. If I have to pay an extra £20 to get a 16GB there and then, say from Carphone Warehouse, I will.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
I heard some people in the UK have received their Nexus 4s from Google already.... anyone on here get theirs? Did you get shipping confirmation email or did it just arrive?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
2 or 3 people have, and all of them seemed to get a dispatched email last night at around 6pm from Google/TNT.
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
My credit card has a discrepancy of £305 which is what i paid for the 16GB + Bumper + Delivery, so looks like my order is OK. Hasn't moved since the original "pending" state though.

Hopefully arrives tomorrow so i can pick it up on Friday, otherwise i'll have to wait all weekend.

/apologies for useless post :)
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
Are you kidding? "Z" here...
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
the f5 method was to constantly hit the f5 key so that it refreshed and sometimes, the page would go from notify me to add to cart. then you had a chance to get one

apprently its still working in the US...
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
I ordered yesterday at 8:23:26 AM UTC, I got the order confirmation yesterday around 10am. Since then I got nothing. Order is listed as Pending in Google Wallet. In the Google Wallet information for the transaction it says:

I checked my Natwest account online and the transaction doesnt appear in the list but the difference between the "Balance" and "Available" is £289.05.

Is this the same for most of you?
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
Same here also with NatWest.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Same with my HSBC MasterCard balance.
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
Actually, for a £10 delivery it is:

13th - 8am: Order

13th till 8pm: Shipment

14th: Delivery
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
yup my barclaycard shows a pending transaction for the phone and case. I hope we all get our delivery notifications updated after 6pm and put our minds at ease!
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
They pre-authorise the amount to check it is available before they begin processing the purchase. They don't actually take the money until they ship. For some banks/credit cards this shows as deducted straight away while others show the transaction as pending.

They do this so they can raise and clear any issues before they've picked and packed your phone. Otherwise they might have your phone all boxed and labelled only for you to be unable to pay, wasting time and money.
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
Seems they've actually taken mine - don't have a cleared/available funds difference. Got a POS transaction for £248.99 which is exactly what the 8Gb costs. NatWest here.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Thanks.

My order for the Nexus 4 says complete, bumper case and Nexus 10 say est.15th. Today I got an e-mail from Google asking me to confirm my orders so they can be processed. I replied saying the orders were correct and no errors were made. Now the waiting game...
