[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
I had an issue first, but i emailed google and told them refusing delivery is not an option. they cancelled the ordered after 2 days

Also, you MAY ask for change of shipping address to some US friend's address, if you have one. Change of address is possible, I had posted an email by them few pages back

At what time did you placed the order yesterday ?.Even i placed the order at around 8.00 PM but still it is stuck at pre-ordered stage :rolleyes:

BTW did your order moved from pre ordered >> Pending or directly shipped ?

There's one in Mumbai too :). PM if interested.
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Congrats!!. What time did you order? Please paste the time from your order mail
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
It doesnt depends on the Order time..

It depends upon the time it takes to go to Pending from Pre-Order..

If it's instant, it has more chances to ship.. IDK..

It's pure luck man!! ;)

another miracle delivery..!!!!

Hey Guys, after being fed up with the inconsistent replies from fake2india.com (yeah, sarcasm here) ,

I booked the N4 on Google Play store on 10/12/12 & volia...!!!!! :cowboy:

10/12/12 : Placed The Order, Status : Pre Order

11/12/12 : Status : Pending

12/12/12 : Shipped, with live tracking from UPS, right now out for delivery at my SNS a/c.:victory:

I just want some quick info from ppl who used the servises of SNS :-

1) do i need to contact SNS with the UPS tracking ?

2) How much charges should i expect to pay to SNS for their servises + Shipping ?

3) Do they provide insurance, is it affordable & viable ?

4) on arrival what was the custom duty payable & do they collect the same at time of delivery in India ?

5) What is the transit time for the shipment from USA to Mumbai ?

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
We should make a list of lucky guys and get our phone ordered from them :D
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Hahahaha
[Nexus 4 General] athani:
Congrats!

You don't need to contact SNS with the tracking number. They will forward it to you on receipt. But you will have to email the invoice to SNS India for customs clearance. Shipping is $10. Insurance would be $3. Customs duty would be 2.06% of assessed value+Rs. 100-150 customs clearance charges of SNS. They will collect these charges at the time of delivery. Shipping time 5-7 days.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Yup thats what I thought, Maybe depends on CC you used (AMEX,VISA) or if they were some "platinum or titanium or Signature series cards", Or maybe your Gmail ID is per-authenticated as a good customer. We will never know:angel::p

Nexus 4 India Release

This comes from a national distributor, who is very reliable.

LG nexus 4 is planned for a End-Jan / Early Feb release with a price tag of INR 32,999/-. ( The Optimus G will also launch a lil earlier for the same price but will have ear phones, case etc as an added stuff to lure some buyers from buying that too, and ofcourse a 13 MP camera. )

But apparently they were also given a disclaimer that if there are manufacturing delays or approval delays the date will be pushed further. ( unfortunately nokia and lg often face a lot of brunt with approvals from the gov. Lumias were delayed for the same reason, and HTC 8X isjust killing it before its launched here. )
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
You are right. Nexus S I9023 was first released with LCD and later I9020 was released with super amoled. I am still using my Nexus S.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
The AMOLED version never made it to India officially. And I9020 was first released in United States and other countries. I9023 was manufactured later with SLCD as Samsung was unable to produce enough AMOLEDs, as per news.

nexus 4 pre ordered

I had tried many times to order nexus 4 using my debit card earlier but it didn't work and i had to ask my friend to order for me using his amex credit card to deliver phone to address of a friend in US who is coming back to india on 18th jan. BUt as shipping estimate was 6-7 weeks i was in doubt.

SO after watching so many people out here to get their orders even after ordering it so late i tried my luck with address of hopshopgo.

And it worked. My ICICI VISA platinum debit card was immediately charged of Rs. 20559 and order status is showing pending.

Now hoping for order to ship with new shipping estimate which was showing 4-5 weeks.

Also plz can anyone tell me how will people at hopshopgo address come to know that this is my order and not of someone else? i have put my name o it but still.

my address was17146 NE Sandy Blvd

That's absolutely true bro either shipping should happen before Christmas or it will happen post Jan 1st (around 1st week of Jan)and they will receive on 2nd week of jan from Google and we will have it by 3rd week of jan 2013.Let c 'im planing to wait till Jan 2nd week max if i dnt get any info about shipping then its better to cancel it coz cannot wait for too long my old phone is already started loosing battery .As far a refund is concerned ebay will help you only till 45days not 90 as our bro said .

Anyone here ever got a nexus shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] rkaria1970:
My HDFC Cc was not going through initially because during normal charge, HDFC cc asks for additional password to process, Google Play was not asking for password, the last process in Google Play was CVV, hence the card kept rejecting. HDFC customer care suggested me to create a net safe card which is valid for 24 hours & for a fixed amount, after creating the same I was able to order & it is already shipped.

Only update in order history details is Google Inc. received your order :mad:.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Me and 2 of my colleagues used HDFC CC to order and our orders have gone in fine. One guy also got his phone delivered yesterday to him.

NetSafe card might be an issue. Google just puts a hold on the card and does actual charge when it ships the device.Your card is valid for only 24 hours so when the time comes to actually charge it, it will be declined as it will expire by that time.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
I did the same... Lets hope our order goes through.

You can check the transaction status on the Netsafe page in all account details. If the cards says 'In Use' then the transaction is placed.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

The 24hr limit is for the merchant to accept the card. The merchant can charge the card anytime between the expiry date of the card.

Look some post back in this thread. If the card says in use bu Google in the card status then no problem.

But still VCC can be a problem... Lets see. I hope my order gets through.. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Its been more than 15 hours since i placed the order. I got the confirmation mail as well but in the wallet its still not showing the "Google inc. received your order" part.

Why the hell they haven't received it although they have sent the receipt already?

Should i cancel this order as if they have not received it until now, they won't process it fast so i think its my bad luck that the order is stuck somewhere although pre authorization has also been taken from the card. What is happening?
[Nexus 4 General] khmohit:
Same thing happened for my first order which was placed via Credit card.

The new order which was done through debit card immidiately got updated and its showing "Google inc. received your order".

Courier details

Folks,

I have order my 16GB N4 on 10th. Its been 3 days and it is still in pending/pre-ordered status. I used a ICICI debit card and it shows google has received the order. I hope this is normal. I also wanted to know that if i get the N4 shipped to my friend in US, what are options i have to ship to india ( Courier/ sites hopshopgo)? There are chances that my friend wont travel end of next month. So i was wondering I may have to get the N4 couriered / or what are the other options i Have? How much would it cost me in that case ( inclusive of shipping/ customs/ courier charges)?
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
I added my HDFC Credit card just to test if it works and I was charged 50rps. I hope this will be returned back.

I am going to add this card to my Nexus 4 gmail account if VCC fails (Thinking of deleting the virtual card and add credit card just now but not sure if that will be ok).

Can I keep the same credit card at two Google accounts ?

or I'll have to delete the credit card from one account and then add to the Nexus4 order gmail account ?
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
No problems with the customs. They charged me 540 rupees/phone.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Have your friend courier it to you via FedEx / DHL. It will cost around 2-3k including customs (customs around 400 bucks). Check out FedEx/DHL site for rates. Package weight will be less than 1kg even if you're buying 2 phones.

FedEx/DHL will call you up a day before it arrives in India, and ask you if you want them to clear customs for you. Say yes. They'll clear everything themselves and collect the amount paid for customs clearance at the time of delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
This is happening to everyone. Most orders which were "pending" earlier has changed to "pre-ordered" in the playstore, but remains pending in wallet. Check out the official playstore thread - somebody spoke to google csr & got a reason for this too.
