Lol...im thinking of a nextday with ups :)

Shipment loaded to vehicle.* - VAUXHALL - Dec 19, 2012 5:37:14 AM

Cmon go out for delivery :D
[Nexus 4 General] hartley95:
Yeah, I noticed that one has cgi. In front and that one still shows mine as please call. Doesn't help when that's the one you've been refreshing most of the night!
[Nexus 4 General] coleaj:
In Transit

At last its on its way, no timescale yet but in transit with TNT.:victory:

4 dec 17:50:52

3 - 5 day
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Absolute nightmare. I hope I haven't wasted my time staying up all night.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
But WTF!?!?!!

I didnt notice that i got another shipping email from google tonight wit the same tracking code! Lol!

Tnt site now says out for deliveryyyyy!!!! Yessssssss!

Guys i need a favour...can someone pm me the measures of the box as it arrives to you from tnt? Before open it...please take the measures and send me a pm :)

Thanks

[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
I'll be calling TNT in a few minutes to see what f*ck Google's dine wrong this time. Been up all night only to find it says Please Call in the end. So pissed off.
[Nexus 4 General] KidCold:
Let us know how it goes mate
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
Is this the measure of the package? Or of the original nexus box?
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
Mine also still says 'Please Call' and hasn't changed since yesterday morning.

Really have had enough of this. I wish I had paid extra to get the phone from a store. The hassle of dealing with Google's utter ineptitude is not worth £110.

Edit: Not worth a separate post, but SMS tracking says "Out for Delivery" which, along with MSI Afterburner's post below, is promising. Another day watching the door not being quite sure if anything will turn up.
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Just called TNT and a nice guy there said that I should be expecting it today despite the Please Call, which he said was probably issued in error. He even joked that he had a lot of shipments from Google today that have been scanned in. :p So people with Please call, hope may not be lost!
[Nexus 4 General] Motogp1:
The box , it comes in a plastic bag which I have thrown away ,if you fold the bag around the box id imagine it wouldn't be much bigger.
[Nexus 4 General] doodle moo:
Awwwwwh crap, I was hoping to wake up to a lovely shipping email but greeted with an empty Gmail :crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Deeko1:
Me too. Glad a lot of people are now getting them but I've heard nothing on my 17:08:54 order. I thought the N4 ordering couldn't be as bad as the the N7 but boy, was I wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Orders now bumped from the 4th to the 19th and funds ring-fenced once again
[Nexus 4 General] RetepNamenots:
Me too. 17:05:52, updated wallet status on 15th, and absolutely nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] Littlemuff:
I received my shipping email yesterday 4am but the tracking hasn't worked until recently. I previously got the message "not found" which was worrisome.

19 Dec 2012	03:26:41	BARKING	Shipment loaded to vehicle.

19 Dec 2012	02:41:04	BARKING	Shipment received at destination depot.

I was under the impression that i would receive another email but that hasn't happened. Oh well, just glad my phone exists even if i do have to pick it up from the depot tomorrow...
[Nexus 4 General] Platnumyoda:
Tracker saying please call for me too. Tried the text tracking and it says out for delivery!
[Nexus 4 General] dijonemon:
If you don't want to wait, call your local depot and ask them if they can hold the package at the depot if it hasn't actually gone out for delivery yet. Might be a bit late now, but worth a try. I was going to do that myself, but figured I can wait as I'll be at home today.
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
My order has now been bumped too, hopefully this means shipping within the next day. Of course, there are plenty of people with a change to status from the 15th with no shipping so, this could mean nothing for us.
[Nexus 4 General] mjb1975:
Ooh, movement! :o

4 Dec, 1707, 16gb, 1-2 weeks, had no movement at all to this point. Order now moved to top of play store list with 19 Dec date.

Checked bank account and funds are pending by the looks of things.

Finally getting somewhere. Hope us 'forgotten' ones see the same today.
[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
So, I had a Nexus 4 for a couple of weeks, but it was very faulty. I bought it from CPW and returned it. When I returned it CPW had no stock so the refunded me, brilliant, no hassle. I missed the 1st Google Play round because I caught my train to work a little after 8am and arrived at 9am thinking they would go on sale at 9am - SOLD OUT.

The 2nd round of sales on Google Play I missed as I had the device. now SOLD OUT

I have had an N4 and now don't, and I want to wait for the stock to return to Google play, while I had a hassle free return at the shop that refunded me, I had tried another store and frankly wanted to punch the sales person. They sold me the device and were all smiles, but talk returns and they turn into fire breathing douche bags. Lesson here is, don't try and return to a Central London CPW store, return to a small town store where the people act more responsibly about what they do.

So anyway, thanks for listening!

So has anyone heard when Google Play will have stock again? Smadger, you have a direct line to Dan, any way you can petition him for some details for those of us still in waiting?

Oh and for those whose device is just arriving, enjoy, it's a damn fine device that I've missed every moment since we were separated.
[Nexus 4 General] adamase:
So, email was this morning at 7 - it's just changed to out for delivery (between 9 and 6), and the first scan in their system is my local depot! Must've missed being scanned out properly by Google.

600km to drive - can I beat the TNT man? :D
[Nexus 4 General] perrywhite:
Got my shipping email overnight - 3-5 dayer. Checked on TNT and its out for delivery today. Good luck to those still waiting on shipping emails
[Nexus 4 General] bengrendon:
O2 have a return.policy of 7 working days if.you decide.you don't.want it anymore and would honour a replacement for up to 28 days if the device were to develop a fault.

Mine is currently winging its way to my house and I unfortunately am speeding the other direction to go to work.Home time cannot come quickly enough for me today. I now just need to decide if this is gong to be my work or personal phone?

To those getting theirs today enjoy as we have all been waiting for long enough.
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
I hope so too dude. Today and tomorrow are the only real days left for a good chance at shipment arriving before xmas.
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
Same here, first entry on the tracking is at the local hub, although status is "Please Call". Used the text tracking service and it says out for delivery, so who knows what to believe!

Still, TNT truck tends to come around my office estate pretty early as we're right the middle of Cardiff Docks Industrial Estate, so always lots of deliveries around here. Here's hoping he stops in the office car park today!
[Nexus 4 General] errukine:
Same here, although it still says pre-ordered. I assume that this is the wave of mid-week fulfilments hinted at by Dan in his statement. There might still be hope for a delivery on 24th after all!
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Grrr, now status is 'please call', did anyone who was on 'please call' get delivered yesterday?

Or is 'please call' always code for Google didn't give yours to TNT?

-- EDIT --

Just phoned TNT, item not scanned at originating or destination hubs, they're going to phone back when they know more,

guess I'm not getting it today ...
[Nexus 4 General] hunnymonster:
Its either that they didn't give it *in time* to be shipped to the delivery depot, or didn't give it all all.

Tomorrow is onlyyyyyyyy a dayyyyyyy awayyyyyyy.....
[Nexus 4 General] Platnumyoda:
Pretty much. My email from google was about 130am yesterday and it was in transit then please call. Still shows Please Call this morning, but when I called TNT they confirmed it has been loaded to the van and is out for delivery.

Clearly Google processed it for delivery but did not give it to TNT in time.
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Yep, no point hanging around for delivery today, phoned TNT they haven't scanned the parcel yet, odd that the SMS message said out for delivery ...
[Nexus 4 General] rbanaco:
Just to confirm... none 11th December order receiving shipment notice right?
[Nexus 4 General] s4vva:
Looks like I missed this batch too

1-2 weeker, ordered on the 4th 17:07 and still waiting for a shipping email, still shows as pending in Google Wallet. Anyone else in my situation?
[Nexus 4 General] smcgirr:
1-2 week - Shipping email received yesterday.

Just took delivery of my phone.

Hopefully others will start to get them coming through the door soon.

I feel for all that have still not heard from Google regarding shipping emails - it's not good enough.

Now, just realised I need a micro-sim so need to see about getting my current SIM cut somewhere :)
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Well yesterday's delivery status of "please call" has changed to "Goods loaded onto van" \o/ happy days..... providing they actually deliver it before they run out time tonight.Carlisle (Depot) is a long long way away!
[Nexus 4 General] Tank-Montana:
In a strange turn of events, I also this morning (3:32am) received the shipping notification for my Nexus 7 order, which look to be in transit with my Nexus 4.

Looks like Google managed to pull their finger our for about 4-5 seconds before firmly reinserting. I still have hope for you guys who haven't received anything, it will happen!
[Nexus 4 General] Jaroki:
17:09 here, and yes. Upon my last enquiry into my shipping status I was informed that it would ship by the evening of the 19th. If I don't see any progress today, I'll be ringing up and speaking with a CSR tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Seriously feel like looting all TNT vans coming my way!
[Nexus 4 General] fremar:
When TNT have deliverd the package does the tracking update right away that it have been deliverd? So I know when to start bugging Borderlinx to register and prepare it for shipping again.
[Nexus 4 General] snowmobile:
My order has just been updated this morning to the 19th in the play store, pending on credit card too.

At last things seem to be moving but as a 3-5 dayer I'm not impressed that it missed the 1st 'early week' batch. Google still don't seem to have a clue how to sort by order time.

I really hope the shipping emails go out tonight for all of us who are still waiting :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
lol we are in similar situation...i'm waiting the package to arrive at my mate's house...after then i will set up a pick up with ups for tomorrow and delivery friday :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
I am with you mate. One of the forgotten 17:06:20 GMT (04 Dec) 16GB N4 orders here. Money ring-fenced in CC and PS status updated to 15th Dec (Pre-Ordered). Wallet currently Pending. Delivery address on PS for Central London (my work address, W1 postcode).

I am among the unfortunate ones who are yet to receive a shipping notification. I called the PS CSR last night around 0100hrs. She confirmed that my order has been passed to TNT - but due to unknown reasons it has not actually shipped (as If I didn't know that?). She has offered to escalate my case to a 'Shipping Specialist' (I hope they make some difference) to expedite my order since it has now passed it initial 1-2 weeks estimated ship date. I have not received any update since and will be following up now. Will let you know how it goes.
[Nexus 4 General] ConnorPayne:
19 Dec 2012	08:04:18	DURHAM	Out for delivery.

Don't think I can wait much longer..
[Nexus 4 General] DannyDroid:
Got my number at 11:00 PM last night.

Got "please call"

Been told it will be here tomorrow.

....
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
Mine now has changed from "out for delivery" to "shipment in transit"...it's normal?
[Nexus 4 General] Crundy:
Yup.
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
My 830ish pm yesterday shipping has this morning gone from "Out for delivery" to "Please call" so I called them. Much like one or two others so far today, TNT said they haven't received the package yet so definitely no phone for me today.

Judging from wkd2639's experience...

...it looks like I will get mine tomorrow instead.
[Nexus 4 General] Demented-Idiot:
i had my shipping email last night at 10:00 and the TNT website says for me "Please call" :(
[Nexus 4 General] ConnorPayne:
Mine said in transit initially while it drove to the nearest depot
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
and what does it mean? my mate's house is near the VAUXHALL depot...
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Heh, I got Tesco to swap my miniSIM for a microSIM before the November ordering day, and have been using it in a micro to mini adapter ...
[Nexus 4 General] Crundy:
Oh, just noticed that my order date in the play store has finally changed ("December 19, 2012") and the funds have been reserved on my credit card. I just hope they have more stock to allocate tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] spewkee:
Yesss phone delivered this morning, was originally ordered just after 17:00 on the 4th with 1-2 week shipping estimate

Merry xmas all, this thread was a great source of comfort during the waiting period!
[Nexus 4 General] Dave11:
Shipped!

Finally got shipping e-mail for my second order (02:32), happy days!

Lets see if there competant enough to actually get the right postcode this time and not just the same named street 2 minutes away.
[Nexus 4 General] KidCold:
I've been on 'Please Call' since yesterday at around 04:30. Contacted TNT again this morning and they said they still have received the shipment from Google to begin delivering it to me.

I'm assuming Google just lied to me that it has shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] InkZ:
I take it no sign of the 8GBs yet? :(
[Nexus 4 General] veef13:
anyone else get two shipping emails? got one around 6pm and one at 12am, they really cant organize a piss up in a brewery can they :cowboy: oh well, same ref numbers etc and its on the van so to speak. so hope i can collect from depot tonight as wont be in for delivery :cool:

good luck to all 3-5 and 1-2 weekers still expecting shipping emails, really hope you will get yours today :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
Ordered 4th dec at 17:20 still nothing apart from blocked off the funds twice.

gettin fed up of it all really. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] Roguestar:
Same here. 17:12 on 4th December, no update until now except for Play status changing to 'pre-order'. Date of order in Play just got bumped to 19th and funds marked in CC but no emails. Here's hoping.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] narcist:
Anyone know what this means, taken from TNT site

Shipment held in warehouse. Follow up actions underway

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Find your nearest depot...

http://cgi.tnt.co.uk/depotlocator/depotlocator.asp

...and give them a call to find out. It will be an 01 or 02 number so it will be "free" if you have inclusive minutes on your contract/payg sim. Remember to have your Consignment number ready to give to them.
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
Whats worrying me is the amount of people who ordered 8GB models are receiving 16GB models!!! :rolleyes:

I wish i could just get what i ordered. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] sighdroid:
I picked mine up from my local depot last night. I called TNT customer support beforehand to arrange it and aside from waiting around for about 5 mins (some people there had been waiting nearly an hour), they sorted me out pretty quickly.

If thats not ideal, you can always call them and try to re-arrange delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
the 8gb arrived fast...

...i'm wondering why this time it's still "in transit"....hope that there's no problems
[Nexus 4 General] narcist:
OK Looks like this means that although I have a tracking number, TNT don't have anything to deliver to me, guy said it will prob come tomorrow :(
[Nexus 4 General] Demented-Idiot:
Just called TNT

Google dont appear to have given my phone to them :(
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:
Dont worry, it just means youll get it tomorrow instead of today. Im in the same boat.
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Same situation - assuming the second email was generated automatically when the package was actually picked up by TNT as we all seem to have got them within a 30 minute or so window.
[Nexus 4 General] KidCold:
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but that's what they told me when i received my tracking early yesterday morning. Still in the same boat with TNT saying they still haven't received anything :(
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
I'm also in my second "Please Call" day. I just got this back from TNT via email:

I don't know what to do anymore. Google's CSRs will just lie to me again and tell me it's TNT's fault. TNT do not have the parcel so they can't do anything.

1-2 day shipping? Google can't even reliably give the parcels to TNT within 2 days of "shipping" let alone get the parcel to me.

I am never ordering another device from this shower of ****s again.
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
On the other side of the coin - it's also worth noting that plenty of us were at "Please Call" yesterday and today we are at "Goods out for delivery".

Did you get a second shipping email between midnight and 2am?
[Nexus 4 General] Confused_Cheese:
My phone that was "shipped" at 4.36 am the evening before last is finally tracking and is "out for delivery". Was my last day in work yesterday so need to make an extra trip in when it hopefully arrives later but its a small price to pay to put an end to this saga :)
[Nexus 4 General] NabeShogun:
Bit of a weird question...

But for those of you that have received your devices ... I remember watching reviewers unbox them and as well as the plastic cover on the screen and back there were loads of other bits on the sides covering the chrome, etc.

Well do you guys have them on yours?

Because mine doesn't. And I'm wondering if I got one someone previously RTMed and they just slapped the front and back protectors on again ...

Called me paranoid but if that is the case I don't really want one that someone else found buggy for whatever reason, even if it has been fixed now ... was checking it for banding but I can't really tell without having one to compare it to, if that's what it might have been.
[Nexus 4 General] tom619:
Does anyone know if one of these will work for a nano to micro sim in the n4?
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Order Date: 13 November 2012 08:47:47 UTC

lol, I put the wrong expiry date in and it rejected. I tried to update but my bank had froze my card! had to call them and update details then I resubmitted the order.

I'm pretty confident I'm up there with the last people to place an order in the UK :D
[Nexus 4 General] silverwings2008:
I got mine by refreshing after the initial sellout. My order never had a delivery estimate, but it went straight to completed in the Google store. It showed as pending till last night in Google wallet and then completed once it got shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Stop crying FFS! You'll get it tomorrow.... IT'S ONLY A MOBILE PHONE!

Hilarious on here at times...: Absolute drama queens...:o
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Mine was 08:52 I think
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Confirmed, TNT only have one van in the entire country, that can hold only one nexus 4 at a time, looking at the evidence so far :D
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
No. Far from it:

Am I one of the last ones? I assume I must be :)
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
What the huh? How did you managed to order when the site was back to coming soon?
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
Are you serious!!!!:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] :
Order date: Nov 13, 2012 9:56:06 AM GMT
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Actually, I believe there were random opportunities on the store up till 12pm. It kept changing status before going to sold out for good.
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
He's right, we should stop worrying about this and get back to fixing climate change! :P

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Very good effort :D
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Damn people. Every time someone posts here I think it's back in Stock. There are still a lot of people that didn't get it.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Order date: Nov 13, 2012 10:34:50 AM GMT

Was anyone here able to order after me? And if so, have you got your despatch email yet? Just want to have an idea when it will be arriving as obviously I have to make sure I'm in the house on that day! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
TGhe most amusing part of this for me is technically I already have one. I've actually had it for over a week.

It's in work but I'm at home with a broken leg haha! :D
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Ordered a 16GB at 0937. Had many opportunities to order an 8GB but why buy something you are not really happy with.

Order still pending :(
[Nexus 4 General] :
Ordered 40 mins before you with no despatch email.

Play shows completed order and wallet show pending. Money has been taken out of my account.

Anyone else got pending on wallet yet completed on play?
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Order Date: 13 November 2012 02:52:46 UTC-8

Not sure why it says UTC-8, but that time is 10:52:46 AM GMT

I've yet to get a dispatch e-mail, and my status says 'Complete'.
[Nexus 4 General] D33KK:
Is it worth constantly refreshing the page a lot just in case it will temporary be in stock again?

Or is this pointless optimism?
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
I think they are properly gone now until the next batch is released. Of course no-one knows when that will actually be (thanks for that Google) so you should probably check back every so often. Probably don't need to do it every few minutes any more though
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I'm trying to do the same for the whole day but nothing's changed
[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
Mine came with no side covering, and it was part of the early batch
[Nexus 4 General] Androll79:
No mine was the same, just front and back covers. Be warned tho my back glass has hair line scratches on it so bought a case to protect it.

sent from my nexus 4 using google mind control
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
As far as we know, these are direct from the manufacturer. Don't forget that Review devices are quite often not the final shipping product.
[Nexus 4 General] KidCold:
Agreed. Google's customer support will no doubt continue to spin their web of lies.

Nope only the first shipping email in the early hours of the 18th.
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
I can't be completely certain - but I believe that those of us who received second shipping emails are the ones whose device missed shipping the night before.

Has anyone who had "Please Call" yesterday NOT received a second shipping email but has "Out for delivery" today?
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
No side covers on mine.

I got a cheap case off eBay and left the back plastic on. Extra free protection I thought.

I might peel the imei number off though.
[Nexus 4 General] RetepNamenots:
Well I just received mine (out of the blue). Ordered 4th December 17:05:52, no updates, changed to 15th December, no shipping email or anything.

It just arrived now.
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
Just sent this to Google:
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
Seriously??? was the money taken from your account or just showing as blocked still??
[Nexus 4 General] NabeShogun:
Thanks guys, that definitely put my mind at ease.

Oh and yeah I have a case coming (Ionic Guardian) but even from amazon.co.uk they come from the US and it was late in dispatching so I don't think I'll see it till January... just taking it easy until then,...
[Nexus 4 General] rank_bajin:
Please call yesterday, out for delivery today.

Only 1 shipping email.

cheers
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
I hope you get it! You paid for 2 day shipping, it's now missed the window.
