Looks like today is your day. I hope you will get it without problems. I'm loving my Nexus 4 so far, especially with CyanogenMod, very smooth device.
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Looks my my nexus 4 seems to be affected by a buzzing earpiece. But I can only hear it when I press the earpiece onto my ear, is very faint and unnoticeable with normal usage. Just FYI.

Date	Time	Location	Status

20 Dec 2012	05:35:51	ROTHERHAM	Shipment loaded to vehicle.

20 Dec 2012	04:36:10	ROTHERHAM	Shipment received at destination depot.

COME ON!!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
Good morning and good luck to everyone still waiting.

Today, TNT's web-based tracking isn't even consistent with itself.

My package was "Please Call" for a day, then "Out for delivery" for ten hours, then "Please Call" again.

This morning, it is simultaneously "At delivery depot" and "Out for delivery".

Schrödinger and his cat (assuming an alive state) would be proud. :good:

Google say they are "currently conducting a thorough investigation with our shipping provider regarding the issue you've reported."

Update: I phoned TNT and they say it's definitely on the van. Not sure what happened yesterday but the driver probably ran out of time. Missed deliveries are given priority so it should come sooner rather than later. (Sigh, it should've been given priority yesterday as it was already a day late then.)
[Nexus 4 General] KidCold:
After 48 hours of ''please call'' my nexus is finally out for delivery :)

Good luck to the rest of you guys and gals
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
Same here, just checked after reading your post. Does this affect all devices or should I RMA it?
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
Out for delivery, but no one home... will have to depot that beast later!
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Credit card actually charged now (instead of approved), out for delivery, finally I expect to have the thing in my hands around lunchtime if the lorry is on a similar route to yesterday's abortive attempt ...
[Nexus 4 General] adamase:
Organised to depot collect it this morning, as I have to drive past the depot to get to some meetings.

Out for bloody delivery :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] Dave11:
It's on it's way! They've finally managed to get it to teesside depot, it was in Birmingham yesterday apparently.

Just need to sort this sim card out now.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using CM10.1
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
woohoo mine has arrived at the Glasgow Bellshill depot at 7:34am will be out for delivery today, super excited.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Crikey they work quick at the scanning wish my work (royal mail) was as quick lol, its now on the vehicle and will be delivered between 09:00 and 18:00
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
Just checked mine, it is buzzing too. Only can be heard when held to my ear.
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
After yesterday's "Please Call" status, today my Nexus is now 'Out for Delivery'. Huzzah!! Shame my micro-sim cutter is at home, its going to be a long day staring at the box and not being able to do anything with it :p
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Well my 2 orders (1 for wife) is being held at the depot and I need to call Google to get it released. I can't even collect it!
[Nexus 4 General] stu83:
Picked mine up from the depot yesterday...

Order date: Dec 4, 2012 5:06:09 PM GMT

Estimated Ship: 1-2 weeks

Now I just need to jazz up the homescreen!

It's a good Christmas :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
i think that the tracking page is correct.

The statuses you see on the bottom...are the previous statuses.

The status you see on top is actually the active status of your phone ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
My tracking yesterday went from...

1) In transit

2) Out for delivery

3) Please call (turns out Google didn't give TNT the package)

...and today is out for delivery. Hopefully it does actually get delivered today :)
[Nexus 4 General] darktheory:
you know you can use it without a sim, obviously wont be able to makes calls/texts but can do everything else
[Nexus 4 General] Tank-Montana:
Well my story didn't end yesterday unfortunately, I last night noticed a flaw in the screen of my phone. It's not a dead or stuck pixel, it appears whiter than the rest and still produces a similar colour to its surroundings, just a very washed out tone.

I called them up and they are sending out a replacement etc, I've just got to order the new device and so on.

As an FYI to people, he told me that for the festive return period, devices purchased between 12th November - 25th December, returns will be processed up to the 16th January, increasing it passed the normal 15 days.
[Nexus 4 General] roblorduk:
Well after I chased up about the tracking number to the Isle of Man I got this: -

"Hello Rob,

I have finally heard back from our team, and it seems that we do not actually ship to the Isle Of Man. It is a system error that allows the orders to proceed, but the shipping logistics break down at that point. Your order has been cancelled and fully refunded.

I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience in this matter.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information.

Cheers,

Scott

The Google Play Support"

Which I followed up with...

"I will be extremely annoyed if you have cancelled this order and not shipped to me - you do ship to the Isle of Man as I have bought two Nexus 7 device and also my girlfriend purchased a Nexus 4 which I have sat in my hand shipped to the Isle of Man. Escalate this immediately and get back to. You can ring me on 076********.

I am not happy at all."

Seriously hacked off! It wouldn't surprise me though if the device turned up today anyway with the way they work! Better still get it.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Called Google spoke the supervisor, he said he don't know why they saying that and he will escalate it to the shipping team where it may take 3 days to hear back from them.
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Hopefully that's not 3 working days because if they max out that estimate then it could be after boxing day!
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
20 Dec 2012	07:43:13	MANCHESTER	Out for delivery.

20 Dec 2012	05:04:37	MANCHESTER	Shipment received at destination depot.

20 Dec 2012	03:25:34	MANCHESTER	Please call

Guys sorry if been asked before...

Will TNT deliver to a neighbour? (assuming the driver's happy to do so) ie note on door... please deliver to number 16
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
I hope so as i have a hospital appointment at 11am! :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Wow. Sorry to hear about that, hope you work something out and get this problem solved ASAP. Good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
Oh yeah, I know that, but without wifi around I won't be able to do much with it really other than flick through menus.

Shame, as could've left it on downloading all my apps and any os updates that are available. Instead I guess I'll just charge it!
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
yeah need to go out at 1pm (back at 10)

I'm sure I read somewhere though it was against TNT's policy (agreement with customer) not to deliver anywhere else other than the shipping address
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus-Revolution:
Thanks very much, this helped a great deal!
[Nexus 4 General] snowmobile:
Mine was shipped last night and is out for delivery according to the TNT tracker :fingers-crossed:

Have any of the 3-5 dayers who were shipped last night received the automatic shipping refund yet. Do I need to request it with them or just wait? I have a feeling they won't pay me automatically as I didn't receive the standard apology email that was sent out earlier in the week.
[Nexus 4 General] vlad1:
When I called TNT yesterday they mentioned that google does not allow them to deliver to neighbours.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Any of us Irish still waiting - my tracking has updated. It's gone through GLS and is now with Parcelforce, even though the UTI tracking shows no change.

It says it's waiting in a Belfast Parcelforce depot... doesn't say out for delivery, but who knows, it's only 10am.

Edit: the GLS tracking is still going, as if it's treating Parcelforce as part of its delivery team or something. IT says out for delivery, with the exact same time (7:26), so let's just hope it delivers..

Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Damn! thought that might be the case...
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
After TNT fail to deliver later today, visit this afterwards and re-arrange it for another date...

http://www.tnt-redelivery.co.uk/

Hopefully you can arrange it for either tomorrow or Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] unitshift:
What was the last entry on your UTI tracking? Mine has the same info as someone elses earlier - saying (RED)19/12/12 - SHORT SHIPPED EX C2K - NOT SCANNED for 16:07 yesterday. I can't see a GLS no. either.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
"Transfer Manifest Sent" I think - their tracking page is really janky, so I don't know for sure.
[Nexus 4 General] snowmobile:
Mine has just arrived :D

Many thanks to Smadger for taking the initiative in leading a joint complaint. I am sure I would have been waiting until next year if it wasn't for that action :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] roblorduk:
Thanks! They've just replied and told me they've recently changed their shipping policy so wont ship here. So they've changed there shipping policy in the 10 hrs in between mine and my girlfriends device were shipped? A load of tosh! Also they say they will ship anywhere in the UK too on their site.
[Nexus 4 General] Josh98:
Anyone with long wait times still might want to look into this

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mob...ee/?olo=editorspick&google_editors_picks=true

Apparently Three are selling it for £299, not sure if it's 16gb or not but I'd presume so. Probably well worth paying the little extra to get it soon.

(Sorry if posted already - hard to keep up)
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
It's not on their website for PAYG...

http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Devices/LG/Nexus_4

...so it must be instore only. At this time of year the sales assistants will be pushing extra hard for contracts so good luck for those that want to stand their ground for PAYG :)
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
At the moment, Three are only selling the phone at £29 with a £35/month "one plan" contract.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Bloody typical! Id have gladly paid a tenner more than gone through this rigmarole..
[Nexus 4 General] Joachim Winter:
ITS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

18/12/2012	10:31	OXFORD	Delivered

18/12/2012	07:12	MILTON	Out for delivery

18/12/2012	05:37	MILTON	At delivery depot

Sadly I am in Amsterdam til Saturday, well something to look forward too :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] hittrans:
belfast

finally got mine. It was delivered to the office reception and they are off work, so I can only get it this morning. Cheers!:good:

--- Belfast, Northern Ireland. Ordered 17:10 04/12/2012, 16GB, delivered 0:32 19/12/2012, by UTi-> Parcel Force.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Congrats! When did it arrive? I'm not bang in Belfast, so expecting mine to be later on.
[Nexus 4 General] anmo:
Same problem here.

I phoned both UTI office in Birmingham and Dublin. The lady from Birmingham told me it was the problem of the supplier.

And the guy from Dublin is pretty helpful, he said it must be something wrong in c2000 or google, as "short shipped means" our didn't arrive Dublin.

He said short shipped orders usually come in the next day,so i hope I can see my phone soon.

c2000 said I m not their customer but google is, so i cannot get any information from them,F**K
[Nexus 4 General] kkh786:
Got my 16GB last night at 7pm! :)

Ordered: 04/12/2012 - 17.06.15 GMT - 1-2 weeks delivery (Birmingham)

People who have received it have you discovered any of the highlighted defects/perks?

Mine has the rattle.. everything else seems ok so far..

The speaker placement seems to be not optimum as flat down ringtones aren’t very loud (even on full setting).

Anyway, all the best to people waiting.. it’s worth it! :)
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
It sucks that they claim they can't ship yours when they have already shipped one to your G/F, but strictly speaking the Isle of Man

isn't

part of the UK, so you can't get them on that point ...
[Nexus 4 General] Pottrell:
It came! It's been sent by my mate so should be here tomorrow!
[Nexus 4 General] rbanaco:
I only see orders from 4th of December or early... Anyone from later then 4th have received?
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
I don' remember the name of the user that is still waiting for his nexus from th 13th november...did he get any updates?
[Nexus 4 General] roblorduk:
Yes I know, I agree about not strictly speaking being part of the UK. But I don't even think who I've been dealing with really knows where the Isle of Man is. Quite often IOM comes under UK shipping. I shall see what they say.

Latest response is that they are conducting a thorough investigation.
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Gonna pop down my local Three store on lunch, that's a nice deal right there! :D

EDIT: OK, would if there was one near work! Might pop into town this evening and see what they say...
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Really glad for all who got there phones for xmas :good: the fun and games is only just about to start for me as I will be ordering next couple of days - or whenever Google start selling them again :rolleyes:.

Currently sat on floor at St Pancras waiting for train for Sheffield see family for Xmas :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Roguestar:
Nice find. It's not on their site yet so much be instore only. Still, would have willingly paid a tenner rather than go through this nonsense... Does their stock come unlocked?
[Nexus 4 General] errukine:
If that's true I'll be cancelling my 8gb order and pay the extra £20 (£10 for phone, £10 top-up) to get it now. Need to pop into town to enquire about ordering a micro-sim for the girlfriend's phone, so will chat to someone in 3 on the way.
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
wait... I thought you already bought yours?
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Believe it or not, I am still waiting for any news on my order placed on Nov 13th.

Seriously this is unacceptable, I will demand full refund of the asking price of the device.
[Nexus 4 General] Josh98:
I imagine they do yeah, but you'll want to make sure.

Just hope the article is right for anyone looking to pop to a store :) Know I would if I had 5-6 week+ wait time.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
i feel for you...it's unbelievable...

try to contact dan cobley on Google+. I mean...probably it will change nothing...but...at least you can say that you've tried
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Thats shocking. I would be telling them where to shove their phone. Have you got any news about your order from them?
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
I keep reading in various online forums that people always mentioned that their contract and PAYG (£399) Nexus 4 phones from CPW and O2 have always come unlocked. Let's hope Three continue that trend.
[Nexus 4 General] beljohn:
It was next-day for me.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
WOW! Mines due today but need to go out a 1pm so I called TNT to ask, could I collect it from the depot tomorrow? Guy said hang on ill call the driver... driver said I'll do a bit of a divert and be there around 1230

How goods that!? Good on you TNT cheers
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Mine just arrived.. woot! Good luck everyone!
[Nexus 4 General] DesolateEgo:
Yep just got mine 20 minutes ago! Having to push my will power to the limits to not open it - it's supposed to be for my Christmas :P Ordered on the 4th December, was updated to 15th December and changed to "pre-ordered" they shipped it on the 19th and it arrived just now! Good luck to everyone else still waiting, hope it's not too long.
[Nexus 4 General] errukine:
Checked at a 3 brick'n'mortar and they're selling it for £450, plus £15 top-up :confused:

Seems that the article is incorrect, and they're selling it for more than CPW.
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
The 3 contract on the one plan is cheaper than buy from Google and doing the one plan sim only for 2 years (and you get the phone now) did this for my son (snd the phone is unlocked)
[Nexus 4 General] jayehwhy:
Probably my last post here.. Received the phone yesterday, well worth the wait!

Waited the whole of Tuesday to have it delivered to see that the TNT tracking page say 'time constraint prevented delivery'!

Complaining to TNT did absolutely nothing so I cheekily emailed Google about the 'ludicrous' shipping charge and TNT's poor service at their busiest time of year - given that it is probably also their most profitable they should ensure deliveries actually get delivered!

Got a reply saying that the matter had been forwarded to a specialist and received a shipping refund this morning.

The best thing about it is that I am a 1-2 weeker!

Just thought I'd say thanks for all the help, it has been fun refreshing this thread with a twinge of apprehensiveness over the last couple of weeks. :D
[Nexus 4 General] kxuli:
Just arrived!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Not a single update. So I called CS yesterday they kept apologising to me and had said the a specialist had been contacted to investigate why my order hasn't shipped yet.

Same old bs. Tried contacting Dan, no response.

Anyone be willing to help me create a formal letter to a PR? I would very much appreciate it.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
No m8 - just been following thread to help out with situation for you guys - this thread has been a credit to all of us supporting each other and doing what google CANNOT !
[Nexus 4 General] cigarillos:
Where is this deal? I can only find a two year contract at £35 a month + £29 for the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] InkZ:
still no sign off my 3-5day 8GB but money still ringfenced :(
[Nexus 4 General] alwynj:
Originally ordered 8 GB on 4th at 17.07 , 3-5 days for delivery.

I received the shipping email and refund yesterday night and got the 16 GB version , looks like they ran out of 8 GB models but still intend on fulfilling all the orders that had 3-5 days predicted.
[Nexus 4 General] Harv.!:
Hi Guys,

Last post...just wanted to say thanks to all for helping through the madness that was the Nexus 4 launch.

After finally receiving a phone yesterday, which turned out to be damaged, I'm now in the middle of an equally frustrating process of trying to send google their phone back. I had intended to let Google send me a replacement, but after being sent from one customer services rep to another for 30 mins I gave up...I was sick of hearing about specialists, supervisors, TNT, RMAs and all the other crap. After several calls and being promised emails that didn't turn up I demaned a full refund...I didn't want the Nexus 4 anymore.

When you do get your phones have a really good look at them for any damage or defects. I know one other person here posted a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, my sparkly rear glass layer was damaged...I hope Google aren't sending out defective products just to meet their shipping deadlines, knowing fine well they'd be returned ?

Anyway, hope your Nexus 4 experience is better than mine, and have a cool Christmas and New Year.

Thanks again for all your help.

Harv.!

P.S. If you're a photographer come and say hi on my blog harvindersunila.tumblr.com
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I'm not sure how anyone managed to get an 8GB with 3-5 day estimate. I was crtl+f5ing and the second they appeared about 17:03 they immediately said 4-5weeks, I can only assume it changed for a couple of minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] cigarillos:
Aside, I wish TNT would make up their minds what's going on with my parcel. One minutes it's out for delivery, then I have to call them, then my tracking number doesn't work at all.
[Nexus 4 General] InkZ:
My order was placed at Dec 4, 2012 5:09:12 PM GMT and I got 3-5days so looks that way.
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
It's the standard deal on the 3 website
[Nexus 4 General] stiggy2012:
It is, but the one plan is excessive for some (including me) anyway.

On contract for the one plan: £29 + (35*24) = £869.

Buying 16GB from play, plus one plan: £289 + £10 del + (24*25) = £899.

My intended package:

Buying 8GB from play, plus "Ultimate Internet SIM 600": £239 + £10 del + (24*15.90)=£630.60 - with the only difference being 600 mins/month rather than 2000 normal + 5000 3-to-3.

Horses for courses.
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
That's what I'm doing, got my son the phone on the one contract. Bear in mind the ultimate does not allow tethering
[Nexus 4 General] Doohicky:
hey belfasties!!!

My and gfs phone has arrived. wooooo. taking getting used to after my S2
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Sweet!

Google have refunded my shipping fee, despite the phone turning up two days after I ordered it (on release day).
[Nexus 4 General] sav_uk:
Just checked with my local Three Store and they are not selling the Nexus 4 on PAYG, she said that as far as she is concerned no Three Store is selling them PAYG.
[Nexus 4 General] TwistedSanity666:
Mine arrived two weeks to the day from order? Uber excited... gonna open it now

Sent from my Ice Cold DHD
[Nexus 4 General] WibblyW:
I have a 4-5 week order from 4th Dec 17:48 still showing as pre-ordered and possible to cancel. 5 weeks takes me to Tues 8th Jan.

Anyone currently have any different status on a 4-5 week-er?
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
The latest thrilling instalment of my continuing saga:

I just phoned TNT who now say the driver could not find my house yesterday.

A) Your drivers should get smart phones.

B) Your drivers should call if they need directions.

C) Arrrrrgh.

D) Why did nobody think to tell me this until now?

I was promised that TNT's support team would actually respond to my email from last night and reply with an ETA of the delivery today. I also asked them to pass on the name of the road my road is off.

(To be fair, the person who answered the call -- Susan, I think -- was lovely, and none of this is her fault. Wish I could say the same for the rest of TNT's operation, or Google's. I've still not had a proper reply from Google for days now. They have their heads in the sand.)

Feels like every part of this phone order has to get stuck by ineptitude and will not progress until someone outside the process steps in, which is only allowed to happen when each stage has been delayed enough that there is undeniably a problem. Each mistake costs another day or more, and there are so many mistakes.

Again, arrrrgh.

Hope I can enjoy the phone when/if it arrives, after the month+ long process of obtaining the thing has left such a bad taste in my mouth.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
LOL! Were you a 4-5 weeker? Glad to know that Google's incompetence is costing them
[Nexus 4 General] Crundy:
I'm really worried about this. I'm on a new build estate which isn't on most satnavs. Most deliveries get to me fine, but I have a bad feeling. I've also got to go to a funeral tomorrow and won't be back until late saturday, so if I don't get it today I may not get it until the new year :(

Good luck and I hope you get your phone soon.
[Nexus 4 General] spvnexus:
Well the bad boy has finally arrived and its perfect :)

Many thanks for all the support this thread has given during this somewhat trying period!!

See ya around
[Nexus 4 General] Motogp1:
Anyone know of a otter box defender type case available in the UK I really need one asap .

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Nope, I ordered on 13/11/12, delivery was estimated to be the 15/11/12 and that's when it turned up. Everything went dead smooth for me.

It did take them two weeks for them to send the shipping email and charge me, though.
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
Just got mine....woohoo
[Nexus 4 General] Crundy:
w00t! Mine just arrived. The TNT guy said "I'm glad you're home". I felt like saying "I'm more glad you're here" and then sticking my tounge down his throat.

Anyway, seems to be in good nick with no cracks or scratches that I can see (although I haven't turned it on yet), so thanks to everyone in this thread for the invaluable info and moral support.

*goes off to run SIM card through a cutter
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
HAHA thanks for a good laugh
