Right a nice bloke at TNT gave me a call back. They have finished their 3 day investigation and the device is definitely missing. Google have been messing me around by saying my package had shipped today/yesterday. Really not in the mood to call someone at Google Play and start the refund process on something they think is delivered. Tired of talking to the Californian robots.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Stolen perhaps? Thats the one thing I'm fearing with my orders
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Oh no.. Now you're in the same boat as I am. Google don't quiz you too much if you tell them TNT lost the phone, but getting them to send you the email to disable the phone is an effin nightmare. I had to call them three times before I got the email. And they most probably haven't even done anything about it. No reply or anything since. And I'm just so tired of calling them to chase things up. Those damn Californian robots LOL

Just found one person in my lecture class ordered at 17:51GMT 4th Dec and 1-2 weeks got delivery on the 6th December. They using it right now and I'm on 3-5 days no sign of shipping. FML

Sent from my Stock-Rooted 4.2.1 Nexus 7

Boot animation : OG PA android.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Another Google nightmare who would have thought? Surely they just issue a refund. Why do they need to send you emails about disabling the phone, it's not our fault.

I still don't see the logic in just not sending out another phone. Feels like we are punished and have to join the back of the queue. Got a lovely bumper and screen protector at home but no phone. Shame
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Google just keep going from strength to strength don't they..
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
You paid £84 for 2 bumpers ?
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
They send us emails asking for our consent for the phone to be disabled which is quite silly considering we don't even have the phone.

Logic isn't Google's forte. A CSR even laughed and asked me, "Who told you that?" when I told her it's not Google's policy to send out replacements for lost phones. The phone had better not be faulty. That's all I can say
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
yeah...i did it...i've explained this two times lol :D

i know...i'm mad. But i bought the phone...thanks to a favour of a friend of mine in London. I can't buy what i want whenever i want from the playstore...i can't bother my friend every time i feel the need to buy something from the store ;)

So...i've bought those two bumpers at the price which any other seller on ebay sell only one of them. I know it's a lot...but i do not even know if those cases would arrive in Italy, cause the phone will never be supplied here.

i could have asked someone here to buy me one when it turns back in stock...but i didn't...my fault :)
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
The way things have gone so far I should sell my bumper and skins and make a small profit and put the money aside to buy the next Nexus from a high street shop ;)

Nah I'll give them a ring tonight, ask for the only guy I know who has a clue at GP and try to get it cancelled then wait on my 6-7 week one to arrive. I'm out of the UK for 2 weeks over Xmas and it is bound to arrive then.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Grow up...

I have to say I'm finding this thread very depressing and a sad reflection on society.

The greed and impatience demonstrated here is astounding. It's like reading something written by a bunch of spoilt 12 year olds.

Here we are approaching Christmas, a time when we should be thinking of others less fortunate than ourselves, and people will spend £84 on some bumpers....why not wait, pay the normal price and send £60 to save a starving family in Africa?

Same goes for those who "couldn't wait...and spent £100s more to get it at O2 / CPW / etc.....

I'm honestly being put off this phone because I don't want to be associated with some of the infantile greed shown here.
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
That's OK, we are getting the ones that don't rattle, don't have earphone buzz and have the extra wire on the PCB to power OTG cables.. :good::good:
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
People will spend THEIR money however THEY want too.
[Nexus 4 General] ajsuk:
Bumper case just arrived!

Still showing as pending in my account, but kudos to the Google Reps that I spoke to over the last few weeks, it arrived within the time frame they promised me...

I can start taking my phone outside now :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Confused_Cheese:
Get off your high horse. I donate to charity already and I work hard for my money. When I spend it I expect a certain level of customer service which has been completely lacking on Google's part so far.

Don't come onto a forum about mobile phones if you don't want to read posts by people excited about receiving new hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] Nickedynick:
There's a difference between being excited and demanding things which haven't been promised.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
fyi interest...i'm a regular contributor of "save the children" by almost one year.

I don't know if i can say the same of you. ;)

You come here to speak your sentences...presuming that everyone here is just a child who cries for his phone. And then...i bet you get mad when your football team loose. Life is made also of little things ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Confused_Cheese:
The post I replied to mentioned nothing about demanding anything? They seemed to have more of a problem with someone spending extra money rather than waiting :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
could someone please update me on the current situation. has anyone received any emails today. i have received a re shipping confirmation but for another order (nexus 7) a few people seem to have received a re order comfirmation for their nexus 4s, by the way i am still waiting for the nexus 4 confirmation email. i am a 3-5 days
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Why bother to have Christmas at all? Send all the gifts to Africa.

In fact why bother to have a large Christmas meal - surely you could starve for one day and send all the food to Africa?

In fact why bother staying in the country - why not go across to Africa and cuddle the starving children and show them some compassion?

We can all play that game - don't forget to pop down to you local shopping centre and stop anyone going in to buy anything because their money would be much better spent in Africa. Oh - but wait - that's right - when we don't spend the money in this country, this country rapidly becomes bankrupt, and people become homeless and starving. If you don't agree with the the way the economy works - go and do something about it - but winging about it to people who are perfectly happily with the way the economy works will get you no where.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Nope, none so far today. If they do send out shipping emails, it'll either be tonight or tomorrow night. Probably the latter.

The latest "update" is that those in the 3-5 days group who sent emails to google have not received any form of reply, while those with other estimated shipping times have got automated replies with actual shipping dates calculated based on estimated shipping times.

Sorry if that was a bit confusing
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
Absolutely no change since Day 1 (4th December) when I got the confirmation email saying 3-5 days.

Still no activity on my credit card (this is worrying me the most since most people seem to have at least had the money reserved at one point)

Still Complete in Google Play and Pending in Google Wallet

Still no shipping email.

Still no reply to two emails to Google Play.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Please don't make any assumptions or suggestions about what I may or may not do. Don't assume everyone has your standards.

Merry Christmas and enjoy your phones, everyone.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Yeah sorry my bad - it took my a while to read the 8 pages catching up from last night :silly:

Anyway hope you get your stuff in time for the w/end m8 and have a happy xmas.
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
Hear hear!!
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
And don't try to impose yours on others
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
You've been the first to assume...i'm only replying to your sentence. I do not have high standards...i can assure you. I make sacrifices like every other hi tech addicted that want to buy something new. I've just explained why i've spent so much. The last thing i need is someone who teaches me the real meaning of christmas on a forum ;)

after this...ot closed...no rancour ;)

im mad i know :D
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
3-5 days - money in and out of acocun

Is anybody else in the 3-5 days (even though my receipt/transaction shows shipping as 2 days!), ordered 4 December 2012 17:06:17, had the money taken straight from their bank, and then mysteriously put back in on Friday?

I have sent over 15 messages to Play since Friday about various things, and have had one response, effectively telling me it should be here today, which wasn't what I was asking.

Getting really worried they have screwed up.
[Nexus 4 General] stormyuk:
Mine is not complete in either store or wallet and whats interesting is the money was reserved on my credit card on the 4th December when I ordered, the reservation of that cash has now gone on my credit card account.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
I asked the same question a few pages back. It's nothing to worry about. Google put a hold on your funds until they reach the time limit which is 5 days. They then release the funds until they ship your order. But wait.. you got a reply saying it should be here today?? That's slightly amusing
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
To the trolls turning up and flaming, we're not actually annoyed that our phones haven't arrived yet. We're annoyed that after waiting patiently and making sure that we got our orders in early (trying to guarantee early delivery of the phone for ourselves), Google have for some reason dispatched phones that should be ours to people who ordered anything up to 24 hours later than us.

Imagine you're standing in a queue at a shop. You don't mind being there if everybody waits their turn and it is fair. Now imagine people start pushing in at the start of the queue, making you and everybody else wait longer. Seems a bit unfair and will rightly upset you, yes? Now imagine the shop assistants start calling people from the back of the queue to be served, and then close up shop - telling you absolutely nothing about when they'll open again and whether or not you'll be there a really long time.
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
Yeah, seemed like they completely ignored the questions about money and my account and what was going on, and just fed me some BS about it being delivered (after doing the mats and taking into account business days :) ) by today to keep me happy, which is why I'm worried my order got messed up and I'll be waiting 2 months for it to be sorted out.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I'm in the 3-5 days group.

No changes on playstore or wallet but in my bank account, the money are still held from google. I'm with Barcalys.

Btw according to the maximum 5 days plus 2 for delivery we still have to wait max until Thursday so I'm not so worried!
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
Or imagine going in to a shop, asking for a phone, they say "Ok, that's £290 pounds I'll be back in a minute" take your money, then disappear, lock up the shop and wont answer your emails! Which leaves us saying, "wait, wtf???"
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
So far, how many phones have gone missing from TNT? I'm looking around and it seems to be a worrying amount...
[Nexus 4 General] chowster:
I'm also in the 3-5 day shipping group and have had no update from an email I sent google. Play store says complete but google wallet says pending. Order placed at 17:07 on the 4th of December.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
AFAIK, 2 including mine
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
I paid £130 extra to o2 3 weeks ago for my n4. My free (£400) TV comes this week. I'm not sending it to Africa.

Yadda yadda yadda. Same old **** in this thread. If you come here expecting anything else you are as deluded as the person you take exception to. Checking in on this thread is just hilarious...

Btw, I've got another 2 on order (1-2 weeks) to sell on eBay/gumtree for a cold, small and quick profit. Because I can. Pick the bones out of that.

Sent from a Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
This has to be one of the dumbest things I have read on the internet! :mad:

Why stop at critisizing others for spending their own money the way they wish. Why not ask yourself why you spend any money on clothes, why not pick up what you need from Oxfam. Why use broadband when dial up will do. Why try to buy a Nexus 4 (at Google's discounted price even) when a 3310 of Ebay will do. And you can send all the money you save to starving kids in Palestine
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
You should stop buying phones in tescos car park fella.

Can't complain about paying the extra £140 from o2 this guy has moaned about people paying though, most folks who did it are getting a free TV, £140 well spent I'd say
[Nexus 4 General] muttly:
Buzzer just rang, looked out window and saw a man wearing a red TNT jumper. Got excited and ran down, opened the door and he asks for the tenant staying at the flat below me. I could have cried...
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
HAHA! It was LIDL.

Seriously, you guys got free TVs from CW? Or was it just O2?
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Why buy a phone when we can donate the £270 to Africa?

Why buy an internet subcription when you can donate to Africa?

Why eat food everyday when we can just send it to Africa?

Why sit in front of a computer typing forum posts when you can be in Africa helping childern?

I'm sorry, but as bad as the situation is in Africa, people still need money to satisfy themselves.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
HAHA! i mean.. *pats shoulder*
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Just o2. With the 2 year contract or comes to something like £420 for the nexus TV and awful contract that nobody is actually using
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
Just to add to teh confusion just seen LG confrim there is a shortage of N4s according to ZDNET Uk

Looks like it could be a long wait

(I am 1-2 weeks)
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
The article on ZDNet was based on this.

LG were just commenting on the supply situation as a whole since the phone was launched on nov 13th
[Nexus 4 General] xilefian:
Just as a heads up about play store hardware orders, i bought a nexus 7 on the 5th, pending play and wallet account until the 7th, which was the day it arrived!

But what is really weird is that I never got a shipped confirmation email, I only have an order receipt, so I never got a tracking number from TNT.

On top of that, the money in my bank account has been pending until TODAY (The 10th), so for 5 days I've had a nexus 7 without Google taking my money.

I'd expect a similar thing could happen to nexus 4 users, your phone might suddenly turn up with no shipping confirmation email or tracking number (It was also very late in the evening when my 7 turned up) and money might not removed from your account for a further 5 days after you received your phone.

Very odd. I am also waiting for a nexus 4 however I'm not desperately excited about it arriving, I ordered a 16GB on the 4th at 10.30pm with 5-6 weeks estimation so I'm not expecting it until new years.
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
I have an order in, but didnt even get the order confirmation email. It is showing as pending in my wallet, so i should be ok? Hard to tell with a 6-7 week delivery estimate.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Well, I'm doing one last reply....because I'm not a "Troll".

There are many posts here which are along the lines :

- Mine said 2 weeks, his said 5...he got his before me, boo hoo hoo :crying:

As an adult, you learn life isn't fair.

- I dont' care how much it costs...I WANT IT NOW!!!

No further explanation required :rolleyes:

I knew I'd get responses such as yours...I'm not advocating a socialist utopia, or saying people shouldn't spend their money on things they want.

But I was saddened by some of the behaviour demonstrated here :(

Look, let's just enjoy our phones. By the way, if any of you want me to queue for the iPhone 6, I'm available at £100 an hour :p
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
I can understand what you mean though. The shipping delay is clearly shown before the buyer buys it. But people get mad when some one with a longer delay gets their's first. And some goes for people who get excited and can't wait to get their hands on it.
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
We also need to learn that, whilst we know life isn't always fair, accepting complete incompetence from any large company only results is these situations continuing in future and more people getting screwed over.

If it is accepted as the norm nothing improves.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Fair point. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Forum Harmony at last!
[Nexus 4 General] Lawliet:
I'd undercut your rate by offering £75.

But in all seriousness, people are excited. And the internet is a good avenue to vent that excitement when it isn't really right to do so in real life to someone else.
[Nexus 4 General] palexr:
Yep. I ordered mine on the 4th at 23:45, it clearly said 5-6 weeks wait, the forums were full of reports of supply shortages, not sure why I would get hot under the collar?
[Nexus 4 General] Fysi:
If you estimate was 1-2 weeks, then you have no right to complain as it's not even a week since the orders went up yet.

If it was 3-5 days, and if you don't have it by tomorrow, feel free to start a **** storm.
[Nexus 4 General] donothurtme:
3-5 day estimate here, leave town on Sunday morning so need it by Friday.

Plan to start a **** storm today in itself. Why? 3-5 days delivered, which means it had to be dispatched today to have it by Tuesday, 5 days after the order was placed.

I'm tired of Google being so incompetent, but I'm even more tired of them shirking responsibility and/or not even being there to take a complaint!
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Technically they could ship the thing tonight and it'd get to you by tomorrow, within the 3-5 day window they quoted. Google's shipping emails typically come at night it seems so this is still a possibility.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
You can still get your shipping mail this night, so wait tomorrow for the storm:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] EdZ:
Remember that it's likely 3-5 business days, plus an additional 2 for delivery (assuming timely dispatch emails are still borked). Thursday is the day to start raising a stink for the 3-5 day camp.
[Nexus 4 General] Confused_Cheese:
Still, I don't understand why you bothered to post about it? If you're saddened by reading this thread then well, stop reading it. Don't invest even more of your time in bothering to moan at others moaning? It was really never going to change anything. Never mind. :)
[Nexus 4 General] donothurtme:
Again, the email did say 3-5 business days delivered rather than dispatched :) so I'm going to start whining tomorrow hahaha :P

But thank you to the above two members who pointed out that I could technically still get a dispatch email tonight. Anyone know what time frame is normal for TNT Central London deliveries?

Thanks a bunch guys, despite a lot of negativity this thread has been an awesome help to everyone! We're awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] snowmobile:
No the email says 'Delivered in 3-5 business days'.
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
So nothing huh... Come on google, i still haven't lost hope
[Nexus 4 General] munkimatt:
I've only just noticed it does in fact say delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Going on last week as an example, you could get a shipping email anytime from 6pm to 6am I'm afraid :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] perrywhite:
Agree - the 3-5 day email clearly talks about the phone being delivered in 3-5 business days. My bigger concern is whether they will respond if it isn't delivered tomorrow - scanning the forum, I can't see that anyone with a 3-5 day email getting any response from Google when they query the status (I've not had any response to my emails).

At the end, I'm not too fussed if its going to be an extra week (really would like it before Christmas though) but its the not knowing that is frustrating (or worse the niggling thought that the 3-5 dayers are somehow forgotten or an anomaly)

If the 3-5 day deliveries don't go out today (or worst tomorrow), I guess there'll be a lot more moaning on this thread.
[Nexus 4 General] Android001:
Shipping email received!

...for my screen protectors -.-
[Nexus 4 General] Rozza C:
Haha! At least you got something! ;)

In other news...GMail isn't working for me...

Maybe it broke trying to send out all of our Shipping Emails!?!? =O
[Nexus 4 General] BadMonkey:
My GMail is busted too
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
Yeah I think GMail is down. They must have handed over the management of the servers to Computer2000.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
My GMail is working fine...

EDIT: now is dead :)
[Nexus 4 General] donothurtme:
Haha I see, thank you! But what I meant was the actual delivery :P

Also, again have to agree with the people above. It's not so much not having it within 3-5 days as it is not knowing when it will come. I really need mine before I leave town on Sunday!
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
gmail not working also for me
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I think there's something wrong in the google servers...I'm getting an 502 error using google maps api....
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
mine's still ok!? :confused:

I'm using a UK @gmail.com address
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
Use the mobile version. It's working fine
[Nexus 4 General] snowmobile:
I think that all of the shipping emails must have brought down gmail and the Google servers ;)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Gmail is down with a few other Google services.

Chrome keeps crashing for me and many others

[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
Well, my bumper arrived today - and though it's just a bumper, it sure is purdy in and of itself.

Now I'm just counting down the days until I can officially complain that my 1-2 week order is late. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Ah so thats why my Chrome was crashing!
[Nexus 4 General] Dharms:
For those interested I just received shipping email for my bumper which was ordered on the 28th November, just need to get one for the phone now.
[Nexus 4 General] sageandonion:
Yes its simple to re lock back to stock. :cool:

Just got my delivery email for my bumper ordered on the 13th. Horay.
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
So they've started firing out shipping emails - let's hope tonight is the night for us 3-5 day'ers at least! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
And hopefully us 1-2 weekers also!!

Cmon google!! Dont let us down again!!?
[Nexus 4 General] fro5tie:
What exactly is the "link my phone to my account" all about, and also what was the default option during checkout, as I don't remember changing anything
