How long it takes from the purchasing til I receive it?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Sold my s3 last week to get an N4, thankfully a have a galaxy 3 and an N7 to play around with.

I placed my order on the 6th, have delivery date of 21st, hoping I get it by Tuesday though. I'm so desperate to use it.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
wow tha'ts a bloody long shipping date! If mines the same I'm gonna cry!
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Check the date in your confirmation email.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
I ordered mine on 8th mine also is estimated on the 21st
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
It's bs, I don't even see why they charge us for shipping with those crappy times.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
I know its madness,nobody knows what when or why,keep us informed you never know yours could come today,think I'll have to wait another couple of days at least. only ordered mine friday.
[Nexus 4 General] ktz84:
Got the sim sorted Friday by popping into the 02 shop. They didn't even suggest charging me for it so was up and running in a few mins :D
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
I can't wait anymore, I'm always checking Google wallet see if they have made the transaction.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
Me too mate,I've never had a top phone using a desire s but I've got a nexus 7 as well,keep us posted on your order I will do the same

[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
I guess we all have 21st as the date. I used my debit card, I've not been charged, but the bank has taken the money. So it's like I've paid.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
Same here
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
ah man, had some hope that the shipping would only take a few days and not the full 2 weeks. Guess I'm gonna have to try and get hold of another phone. No way I can go without a phone for 2 weeks!
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
They say 2 weeks, but there have been people who received it the following day they charged the card.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
Yea I've heard about that, apparently the order goes through quicker if you don't link google wallet to your google account or something like that. Don't know how true that is though.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
I don't even know why I linked my account :banghead:

I sold my s3, and now I'm really dependent on my N7. Can't wait to enjoy pure android on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
Same, I'm really looking forward to it as it will be the first non HTC smartphone I've owned. Cyanogen mod is good but it won't be as good as the real thing :). I linked my google account to google wallet so don't worry, we're all in the same boat :).
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
Does anyone know the average time from order to delivery lately
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
I've just checked my credit card balance online.

Taking the current balance plus my available credit off my full credit limit, and then subtracting the transactions that I have receipts for but haven't yet shown up online... leaves me with a difference of £289.99. In other words a £1 "test for validity" authorisation and either an authorisation or a charge (can't tell which yet) for the phone's cost (inc. delivery).
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
It's pretty impossible to say really. Some people have been getting theirs within 5 days of ordering but many of us our getting the full 2 week estimate. Whether our devices come earlier I don't know. I guess you'll just have to keep checking this thread until we get ours.
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Not bad! I'll expect it on Wednesday...

11 Feb Google Commerce Ltd charged your VISA xxx-XXXX for £288.99. "GOOGLE *Google Play" will appear on your billing statement.

[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Did you link it to your account? I wonder how Google does their orders. I placed mine on the 6th and I'm still waiting.

I have lectures tomorrow and the rest of the week, so I'm hoping I get a response during the time I'm actually free.
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Yes, I did link it to my account.
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
As theguitarman said it's difficult to accurately guess, but both mine and a friend's came within 2 days of order. Mine actually came the day afterwards.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
uh oh. The play store for the UK is now saying 2-3 weeks. Even though I ordered mine at 1-2 weeks I doubt that means anything so I'll probably be waiting longer. DAMN! I need a phone :'(
[Nexus 4 General] 666fff:
Help!

Hi, anyone got a bumper (official) they fancy selling?

[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Did you use a debit or credit card? I used debit card.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
The 8gb is still at 1-2 weeks though

Edit now at less than a week
[Nexus 4 General] john306:
I ordered mine when it last said 2-3 weeks and got it 2 days later
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
Did you get a shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
This thread is just fueling my anger at Google. I want to just call them and give them a piece of my mind.
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Credit card... and according to TNT tracking it's out for delivery today.
[Nexus 4 General] David !:
So i called google yesterday and asked bout my order, since 31st Jannuary on pending/pre-ordered, and the guy thought it was odd and couldnt give me a reason without internal investigation. Waiting for an email :(
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus 4:
I got the shipping email yesterday! Come on google, do your best now!
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
When did you make the order?
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
How the hell are you guys getting such quick shipping? I still haven't got the google received your order message! So irritating.
[Nexus 4 General] banny7000:
Doesn't look like its first come first served
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Delivered at 11am. It's a bit cold from being in the van. I'll wait a few minutes for the condensation to go off it before powering up.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Something's wrong then, the "Google received your order" bit should happen instantly.
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Probably payment difficulties. It may be that the card authorization failed.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
I thought that but the guy at support said that it should be delivered within 2 weeks. Should I cancel it?

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

But surely there would be a system in place that would tell me that instead of leaving me thinking my order is fine?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr Paul:
Ordered Sunday, out for delivery today :)
[Nexus 4 General] Restorer:
+1 :D

Though its a shame TNT can't do better in this day and age than give you a 9 hour time frame. Been ordering a lot of stuff from Scan recently and gotten real spoilt by DHD's 1 hour window.
[Nexus 4 General] daugirdas:
mine shipped withing 2-3 days, but had some issues with TNT delivery. I had to collect from their depot 20+ miles away after 8PM (8-23pm to be specific) and I live pretty much close to Bristol centre. The parcel was in a very bad shape, but the box and phone were OK. I checked before signing for it.

If it wasn't TNT the experience would be much better. I dread even thinking about returns/repairs as mine could do with better 3g/wifi reception
[Nexus 4 General] kennynguyen20:
i had the same problem with TNT, they told me they couldnt find my address and i live in LONDON. i told them TNT delivered to me before but they said it depends on the driver, what a ridiculous excuse, paid £9 for delivery and ended up going all the way to their depot in Croydon to collect it. should have ask for a delivery refund from google.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
I ordered mine last night after resisting a lot of temptation .

Quick question guys even though your phone came early...did the play store estimate delivery at a later date?..eg 2weeks time?

I don't mind waiting really since my sensation XE is doing fine right now.

Ordered on 30th still pending. I'm sitting quiet for more two days and then I start bombarding support with emails. At least I will get shipping refund.

[Nexus 4 General] Mr Paul:
Said 1~2 weeks when I ordered, but arrived in 2 days.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Fired off an email making a complaint and saying I'll cancel soon.

Got a message few hours later that it's been shipped!

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

So this is what I sent

Hi,

Frankly don't think this response is good enough, I know and have heard of people are having their phones shipped to them then on the very next day. Some have ordered after me and received a tracking number.

I think it's unfair to use a time estimate if you won't stick to it. You are charging for delivery yet getting the phone even shipped is now taking nearly week.

I'm really considering cancelling my order, you cannot treat customers like this, you give no information except a generic message. You should bear in mind people who will purchase a nexus phone directly from Google are not your average android user.

I hope I will receive a prompt positive response.

Regards

Then I got this

Hey Kofi,

Thank you so much for taking your time to contact Google, I greatly appreciated it. I understand you are concerned with the shipping status of your order. I can relate to the*issue you are going through, as it is very frustrating.*

Unfortunately, your order has not been shipped. The estimated shipping date does say 1-2 weeks. I know it may seem unfair that some customers are receiving their order before you, I apologize for that. Rest assure your order will ship soon.*

When your order has shipped, you will receive a follow up email with a tracking number. You can use this tracking number to track your *package and get an accurate*delivery*date. You will also not be charged until your order is shipped.

If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to reply, I would be more than welcome to assist you.

Regards,

2 hours later I got this

Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
This my second order i will be waiting patiently and other was December but arrived 2 days after time quoted...Don't be so quick to complain Google..if they are late with shipping they refund you so quick without issues..I didn't even write an email and I was refunded the next day but you gotta make sure its after time quoted eg 2-3 weeks if you want to complain.

I do understand we are an angry bunch considering how hard it was to get specially in November/December haha

So now I have 2 bullet points.

Unlimited texts

Unlimited internet (truly unlimited with no fair usage, £10 a month instead for only 1gb)

Unlimited free calls and texts to other GiffGaff numbers for 3 months each time you top up (so top up 1 month and get these free calls and texts for 3 months)

If you order a sim from the link you should get £5 free credit.

Should i call in again or just make a new account/order?

It will be a good idea to find out from them. Make up an excuse, because I doubt they'll let you use their line for free.

I'm still waiting for my N4, tnt are terrible, the depot was pretty close to me I expected it the whole day.

Hoping I get a nice surprise when I get home. Refreshing the tracking page constantly.

Well its 6pm and tracking says it's not delivered. Is there any chance I could go home and it will be there?
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Well with three I do not get good indoor signal in my house and my work place too so I was thinking to leave three but as I have got a nexus 4 I am thinking to get a pay and go sim. O2 have very good coverage in my area so either giffgaff or tesco I was looking for as they both run on o2. I'm currently with giffgaff they have some very cheap plan for 15 quid I get 400 mins unlimited text and unlimited data however I do not need unlimited data my average data usage would be 2gb a month. Tesco does a deal for 15 quid 1000 mins unlimited text and 2 GB data and I heard tesco offers good customer service and their data speed is better than giffgaff.

That's why I wanted to use tesco sim for a month to make sure I would happy enough with them. But as you said I will be charged by three for using sim after contract has ended I will move my number as soon as I can. By the way do you know how much they might charge me?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Well I called tnt up and they said it actually want even sent out. Have to wait until tomorrow. Ffff sake!

I'm confused with tnt, I called them and they said it wasn't despatched, then I check my tracking at 8pm and it says I was not around.

I wish they could just give a smaller time frame to deliver.

Cut sim

Hello,

I just bought N4 8G from google play but my old phone is htc wildfire which sis using the normal sim. As you guys know N4 is using micro sim, my service provider is with T-mobile. I checked with their customer service, I need to pay £10 for a new sim.

Just wondering any of you guys cut the sim by urself? Or all of you guys requested the new sim from your SP? I googled around, some of the forum were complaining N4 doesn't like the 'cut sim'. Is that true?

Damn t-mobile, charging me for the freaking expensive replacement sim.

Thx.
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
After ordering my N4, I found out that it needs a micro SIM, rather than standard SIM being used in my old phone.

I contacted my provider, and they said it would cost 9 Euros for a new (micro) SIM card - and it would take 2 days to arrive.

In the meantime, as soon as they initiated the process to send a new SIM card, then my old card would be invalidated ... and so I would have no phone.

After some searching on the net, I found many sites showing how to cut down a regular card to make it micro sized, most showed you how to do this by using another micro SIM as a pattern, but as I didn't have a micro-sized card I searched a bit more, and I did find a nice template, which I share here: Micro SIM template

Using a ruler, Stanley knife and my wife's nail file - the job was quite simple - and the cut-down original SIM works fine, both saving me a few Euros and saving me from being without any phone.

Note I am not affiliated to the people selling micro SIM adapters (nor have I bought one)
