The 8GB has just popped up on my Google Wallet site

I got an error the second I hit buy, so I'd be monitoring your Google Wallet like a hawk if you tried to purchase a few times with an error (you do not want bank charges for multiple purchases for example).

No email confirmations.
[Nexus 4 General] Baldyman1966:
Ok I have 2 orders showing as pending, but only 1 showed for me as completed. Looks like I'm getting a spare.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Ummm hai you guyz...

I just checked google wallet and I have:

I'm sure these went out of stock earlier. It charged me for shipping twice and I didn't even want the 8GB one. I'm sure I won't have any problem shifting them though.
[Nexus 4 General] phemark:
.....

Got into work at 9, and was able to order Nexus 10.... but nexus 4 were all gone.... damn....... shouldve gone 30 minutes earlier...

Any info on whether they will give more Nexuses today, or after a month?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
For people above like me who have one pending in their Google Wallet, check your Play Store orders - https://play.google.com/store/account

I have nothing there :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
My transaction isn't showing up on the Play Store but is in my Google Wallet and I've just had an email saying "You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped." I'm currently on hold with Google Wallet. However a really helpfully guy at Google customer care said that the transaction should have gone though and a confirmation e-mail can take up to an hour to come through.
[Nexus 4 General] kumqwat:
Exactly the same here. Had a few errors, but finally got to press the last button but was greeted with a large red box saying card could not be charged.

Google wallet says my order has been sent and received. Play store history says my Nexus 4 16GB is "Pre-ordered".

EDIT: Just received an email confirming my purchase and that my card will not be charged until my order has been shipped. Looks like we'll have to wait!
[Nexus 4 General] hospital349:
My pending order was just this moment emailed to me as a successful transaction!

It took about 40 minutes to receive it after making the purchase.
[Nexus 4 General] :
at the bottom of the page make sure you select 'English (united Knigdom)'

Mine was set to 'English USA' earlier for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] Eyeloose:
I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure - just a number of family members (all work in banking) recommend them over debit cards for additional protection should something go a bit pear shaped.

I know you can extend the warranty for free on the credit card I use. Not sure if it applies to every credit card or not. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
On the confirmation email, under Shipping Status - Delivered in 3-5 business days
[Nexus 4 General] Android001:
Did the playstore keep on putting a Nexus 7 in place of the Nexus 4 when it got to checkout for anyone else?

Took me about 5 attempts before it finally relented and placed a 4 in the cart!
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Ha . trying to screw people out of some cash huh
[Nexus 4 General] DaveDesire:
You ordered a second one to sell-on?
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Got a 16GB ordered, a few days after ordering an 8GB from ebay, d'oh!

Just worried that the estimated shipping has gone up from 1-2 weeks to 4-5 weeks on it...
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Quick question, I saw 1- 2 weeks estimate on the site when trying to add to cart for the 15th time so when i paid I assumed it was 1-2 weeks however my confirmation email says delivered in 3- 5 business days, is that the actual shipping time? That would be awesome if its only 5 days!.
[Nexus 4 General] kanay2000:
Google wallet says its "Pending" ... is that normal?
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
Because my first purchase was on ebay and I simply wanted to recoup my losses not make a profit.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Spare N4 16GB

I managed to pick a 16GB N4 via Play Store today, but I had already purchased one via Carphone Warehouse yesterday!! Paid the full retail of £389.95 and it will get delivered in store tomorrow.

The problem with buying in-store with CPW is that they don't do returns for refund. So now I have a spare N4 16GB (in hand) for £389.95. Any suggestions or any takers? :-/

PS* Delivery estimate for Play Store order is 1-2 weeks, so I am hopeful to receive the device before x-mas.
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:
Sorry but I really don't see your logic in buying a 2nd one.
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Mine says Completed, im only one person so not sure :P maybe your payment failed?
[Nexus 4 General] Android001:
Payment address has my town down twice; shipping only has it once.

Hoping Google don't make me problems..
[Nexus 4 General] DaveDesire:
People have 3-5 days in their confirmation email?!

I got my confirmation at 5:08 and it says 1-2 weeks.

Me too. A little concerned with the 8GB being 4-5 weeks from the off, that they intended to put the 16GB at 4-5 weeks as well.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
I had gone to CPW yesterday evening (03 Dec) - at that time, nobody knew when the UK Play Store would receive more stock. So out of frustration, I bought one yesterday.

Today, I ordered another one from Play Store (for the lower price of course!). So now I'm just looking to get rid of the one I bought from CPW. Not looking to make any profit..
[Nexus 4 General] madwyn:
Mine says pending as well. But I have received an email says:

Your Google Play Order Receipt from Dec 4, 2012

Thank you.

You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped.

Does that confirms a good order?
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Thats unfortunate should have bought it online, atleast you know for the future!.

Best bet is to either EBAY it or sell it to CEX http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SLGE96016GBUNLA they buy it for £315, walk in one of their stores or send it in... I know you take the hit but it is better than nothing!.

Although i suppose you could just refuse the CPW delivery? Classed as canceling the order AFAIK.

In regard to the guys being told its PENDING, what time is the order on your email'? mine is Dec 4, 2012 5:07:48 PM GMT
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Mine was set to United States...does that make any difference besides page translation?
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Yep
[Nexus 4 General] DaveDesire:
If that's the case I'd refuse to buy anything from there. What a joke of a policy, and ought to be illegal.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
When do they take payment?
[Nexus 4 General] xxnoelziexx:
All looks good my end checking order status see below.

Order Date: 4 December 2012 17:07:24 UTC

4 Dec

Google Commerce Ltd received your order.

4 Dec

You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on 4 Dec. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to xxxxx

Email says

Estimated Ship:

1-2 weeks

Will be leaving for the Philippines from the 17th Dec to 8th Jan hope it comes before my trip I know it is cutting it fine.
[Nexus 4 General] Anon87:
strange, my email doesn't show any shipping status. I have 'Delivery status: Not yet Shipped'
[Nexus 4 General] ecj123:
done the same but when I went to the store to collect it today I told them I didn't want it anymore and they gave me a refund.
[Nexus 4 General] spoonboy:
LOL!

I caved in and bought a second hand G-Nex from ebay, which arrived today.

and guess what, the N4 comes back on sale.... just my bloody luck!!! Successfully managed to order a 16GB N4, super pumped now!
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
When they ship it
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Nice!! I can try that tomorrow and hopefully it works :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Caumen:
Atleast you can order it..

Been there trying to get it since 13th november and still no buy for me..

This is so frustrating.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
"Ships When Available" lol what a joke.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Unfortunately, it is true.

Read the third point in this link here. Officially from their website.

Hopefully I would be able to just refuse and return for a refund when I go to collect in-store tomorrow. Another forum member managed to do it. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 4 General] ecj123:
good luck. saved myself £100 :)
[Nexus 4 General] smokinjoe18:
Hi advice or answer required, Had issues with card failures in the end i've got 1 confirmation saying i've got a 16g nexus ships 1-2 weeks same on ggogle wallet 1 in pending (suppose it's there til shipped) with 1 order number BUT checking my bank account online it looks like they've charged x2 single £1.00 transactions to my account so my question is was the first £1 transaction just my first attempt at buying which was declined THx
[Nexus 4 General] 666fff:
Probably.
[Nexus 4 General] sindrefyrn:
Anyone else gets this error when trying to pay?
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
And you don't have the hassle of trying to flog your mates a telly you don't want, or having to buy your way out of a 24 month contract and delude yourself it's still worth it ...
[Nexus 4 General] Caumen:
Yes, all the time.
[Nexus 4 General] sindrefyrn:
Cheers. So should I just try again, or?
[Nexus 4 General] fremar:
Managed to get my order done after 20 minutes of that error when trying to pay. 16GB and 1-2 weeks, hope I get it to Sweden its available here.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Yea... Getting a 400£ TV for 100 is soooooo bad lol

[Nexus 4 General] whtever:
Any idea how long exactly will the shipping take? I'd like to get one unfortunately I'll be going back to my home country next week. Seems that some people claimed that they got 2-5 days delivery but mine says ships when available in the after proceed and then it says shipping (two day) at the checkout meanwhile it says ships in 4 - 5 weeks in the description box. Dont know which is correct??
[Nexus 4 General] b4d4bing:
hi im in hyndland in the westend of glasgow and bought an 8gb and 16gb one...i have a 4-5 week delivery and would be happy to give you the 8gb one at cost if you want?

[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
For you, dispatch is 4-5 weeks, and delivery is 2 days.

I got mine from O2. Total contract cost = £435.

Less the following

£100 O2 open discount

£250 LG television

Total cost to me £435 - £350 = £85!

Now who's deluded?

To top it off. I sold the N4 I ordered from Google Play for £360 one day after receiving it (28 Nov)earning myself a decent £80 profit. So in all my N4 cost me a mere £5

If we take into consideration that I sold my 23 month old Desire Z for £130, then I am quids in.
[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
got my order in 4-5 weeks delivery, taking the cpw one back tomorrow for a refund...i'll wait for a few weeks instead of paying an extra 100£
[Nexus 4 General] StuMcBill:
My order is timed 17:02:19 and it says shipping in 1-2 weeks??

What time are the 2-3 day'ers orders?
[Nexus 4 General] arj154:
mine says pending as the status, is there a possibility payment has failed? or does everyones say that?
[Nexus 4 General] Nickedynick:
The transaction is timed at 17:07 on my Wallet account, and the email says 3-5 business days. I think I may have gotten in earlier though because I added it to my cart, then the 'Proceed' button failed a few times before I could actually buy it.

Edit: It also says complete :)
[Nexus 4 General] StuMcBill:
Everyone's says that!
[Nexus 4 General] smokinjoe18:
Mines pending in my Google Wallet also but correct me if i'm wrong this shouldn't change until its shipped and charged then it should be complete
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
You would think so, mine is "Completed" and my card has been charged the full amount and since my email said 3 - 5 days delivered then I can only assume mine has actually been shipped or ready to be shipped :).

mine was at 7 minutes past but I did order it around 5.03 but couldnt pay till 07.
[Nexus 4 General] BobbySweetTooth:
Bamp.

I got through, authorized the purchase, updated the details and it got cancelled again, called Google was advised to place another order that's shipping in 4-5 weeks, not 1-2. :(

I call up Google again wondering if I updated the original order with X's details would I get the phone sooner than the second order, but the CSR I spoke to had no answer. I might try again tomorrow, but I doubt it 'cause then I'd have 2 orders.
[Nexus 4 General] kanay2000:
I don't know. When I ordered mine, it said payment failed - because stupid Halfiax did a random fraud protection c**p. Now its "pending" and under delivery status in my email it says

Oh well :/
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Same here, 17:05 still in pending
[Nexus 4 General] superleeds27:
Ordered mine about 20-25 minutes ago.

Won't get my hopes up too much!
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Guys google has charged me for two N4s!?!

What do i do?
[Nexus 4 General] madwyn:
Same 17:05, same pending.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
It's gone to 4-5 weeks. :/ not sure if I can be bothered anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I got the mail with delivery time 3-5 business day and my card looks charged with the right amount
[Nexus 4 General] knowlesy:
well orderd mine :) but no expected date etc at least the money isn't going out until its shipped :)
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
My email confirmation says 3-5 days shipping but wallet is pending though.
[Nexus 4 General] madwyn:
I believe yours is one of the very first shipment of the second batch.

Cos in the receipt email google says you only get charged when the phone is shipped, this suggests yours might be on the way! Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] kanay2000:
that font... eww
[Nexus 4 General] ilukecurtis:
If you go to your play orders you can cancel one of them, dont think you can do this through the mobile browser?
[Nexus 4 General] slm3:
I got the Thank You email with 4-5 week shipping time. But the money has been taken out already as my available balance has dropped by £290. Google wallet says pending so dont know what to believe.

Anyone know have an idea of what is correct? Is it shipping now as money is out or not :S
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I hope so, I just purchase the phone today and the differene between the current balance and the balance of yesterday night is 290£:)
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I can't see the attachment for some reason but if you have had 2 ordered then you should be able to go onto your account and cancel one or ring up and cancel one over the phone which they offered the first time round for people that accidentally had multiples added to their order. If they've charged twice with a single device then phone them.

They normally reserve the funds first before they actually charge you so what you're seeing is probably the reserved funds and you'll then be actually charged the day it ships or you receive and sign for your parcel, however they finalise it.
[Nexus 4 General] hrickards:
Your available balance drops as soon as you place the order; it's the current balance that will change when the device ships (at least that's what happened to me with the N10).
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
I can sell one that ships tomorrow if anyone wants
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
As said to the other guy in my post above they first reserve the funds which means that money is set aside by your bank for this purchase so it can't be used elsewhere. A pending transaction where funds are reserved generally has an expiry date in case there are issues so if your device hasn't been shipped in 7 - 10 days (average expiry for most banks) then the funds will return and Google will re-request the funds as and when it ships.

You can normally tell reserved funds by there being a difference between your balance and available on your account.
[Nexus 4 General] cellur:
wow nice! I will get it for a quid for whatever gigs you are selling!
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
I order 17:03 and got email for 1-2 weeks, just check my bank and its showing exact amount of £288.99 less balance under available balance.

I hope i get it before 21 dec as i'm going spain for 2 weeks holidays. would love to have nexus with me on holidays.
[Nexus 4 General] :
To clear a few things up (with my Nexus 7 order knowledge)

Pending in wallet:

This is perfectly normal. My Nexus 7 i pre-ordered before release was sat on pending for weeks. When yours is reading to ship that will change.

Bank account Charged:

If your bank account is changed this mean nothing. Google can charge you and then refund you. It's something to do with putting a hold on that money. (to check you have enough money in the first place to for-fill the order)

When yours is ready to be sent you will be charged for real.

Also just because it says 'Ships within 1-2 weeks' don't hold your breath. It could be any time. Google didn't for-fill the ship time on N7's and some N4's.
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Ordered at 5:07, and 1-2 weeks shipping and still pending in Google wallet! Hoping it will be a week and not 2!
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Let me know how you get on with the refund. I also bought a 16GB N4 from CPW (£389.95), but I had placed the order in store. Apparently they have different return policies for devices bought in store, and the ones bought online.
[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:
Money for 8gb and 16 gb already taken out of my account by google.
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
forgot to uncheck link to google account, ordered at 17.04, - 1-2 weeks shipping est

might of got 3-5 days if i remembered
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Ordered the 16GB model today, "Ships in 1-2 weeks" What do you guys think my chances of getting this before Christmas are? Just glad I ordered it to be honest.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
What's the problem if you uncheck it?

I forgot to do...
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
I think they open it and put your google account username on it
[Nexus 4 General] chistery:
They do not open it. They just link that phone to your google account so when you connect it talks back to Google and automatically fills in your user ID. Google know what phone you were sold based on box scans and other info passed back from TNT. It doesn't delay your order at all.
[Nexus 4 General] hunnymonster:
Indeed. Boaktastic.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Would you be from NI? ;)

Btw is the difference between the 1-2 weeks and the 3-5 days just because of the 'attach this device to my google account' thing?

Accidentally didn't uncheck that....
[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
i checked with an adviser on the phone before placing the order online he confirmed i could take it to a local store within 14 days for a refund..i got mine delivered abt 2 hrs ago..it's really hard to resist but i'm not going to open it and will take it back first thing tomorrow. will update how that went
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
I forgot to uncheck it because I was rushing to buy it. Ordered at 5:05, shipping email said delivered in 3-5 days whereas the store at that time said 1-2 weeks. I have emailed to ask, but as of yet no reply. I can wait 2 weeks, no issue there, but I would like to know :good:

Also it is nice to just have an order in after trying for an hour (8-9am) on the 13th and being stuck with a samsung slider phone after I had two defective S3s! Plus my 3 UK sim won't work in my slider as they don't support 2G, so I am stuck with a temp number with Tesco! :P
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Ordered at 5.07pm, my email says 3-5 business days, and I did not uncheck the "link to account" box. So i don't think it has anything to do with that
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
Exciting stuff!

I initially hit add to basket as soon as was possible (I had all my colleagues hitting refresh around me). Order actually went through at 17:07, and I must've been one of the last lucky people who managed to get 3-5 days as their estimate!

FYI, I did check the button to link it to my Google account. Will keep posting back if anything changes!
[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:
Anyone else been charged for the phones already despite just ordering?
[Nexus 4 General] hunnymonster:
Nope. Although I understand it is a term used in Ulster Scots too (and no, not Scottish either) :D
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
No sign that that's happened on my account yet (3-5 days estimate).

They did decline my credit card though, which is weird as there's more than enough left to cover it on there.
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
Yeah i don't think it makes any difference to shipping whether the device is linked or not. I ordered mine at 15.07, unchecked the link, and I've got shipping in 1-2 weeks!
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
ffs....someone just bought my extra one off ebay then deleted their account. wtf???

I hate eBay with a passion. Use Gumtree and try find someone local as that's what I've done for my last 2 phones I've had and always found a buyer. This being a popular phone you should still find someone and if you don't you've lost nothing as it's a free ad.

Do I need a micro SIM cutter? Any advice on that? would a pair of scissors do?

Can't wait for my contract to end so I can be free of O2! Then I will get a giffgaff micro sim but it doesn't end till July 2013.
[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
I would try popping into an outlet of your mobile operator and they should hopefully be able to cut it with a punch then and there.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I got my own cutter off eBay, and it came with two little adapters. It's kinda handy to have around if I need to use it again or if someone else needs their sim card cut.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
cool I will try that when/if the phone turns up :o

Cpw will cut it for free, they did mine for me. U guys are gonna love the nexus 4. Its rocks:D
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
i took a pair of scissors to mine, traced around my new o2 one and hacked away, it didnt work at first but i hadn't aligned the chip right, so a snip off one side and lining it up and it worked, i ordered a replacement just in case though and that's working fine. That said i'm now planning on ditching tesco as theyv'e just text me to say my "unlimited" plan is anything but, ordered a free three sim to test the reception here but will order a free giffgaff one too as i know o2 as a network works here, so if anyone wants me to click their referral send it my way, i'll just go with the first one i get :good:
