Check your Google wallet.
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Bro, just chill. Google will not take your money and run :silly:.

If they actually debited twice, then definitely they will credit it back to you, so dont worry. Just call them and get the status.

I actually got 3 sms regarding debit, but they debited once only.
[Nexus 4 General] sumy08:
No actually I am concerned about shipping only, just confirming if my shipping process have started or not as signs suggest so
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Only worry should be customs, if you are lucky you will be charged less.:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
I think the first charge was just a hold put on ur cc. And second was the actual charge. Now u can expect a shipping mail anytime.

They won't charge u twice unless it's a debit card
[Nexus 4 General] sumy08:
Wallet is the same as well with shipping estimate 1st march

hope luck goes in my favor, anyways with what should i go normal or expedited shipping (hopshopgo) & if i can get package unopened in any of them :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Go with express shipping, I had gone with HSG and customs were 1703 and box opened.

I had bought some other items with borderlinx and customs were paid at the time of shipping and box was not opened. And the best part was, customs clearance done immediately. The items were received in flat 4 days, less than a week.:cool:

Hi All,

Ordered my phone on Feb 16,

One bullet till Feb 19. Called up Google, They sent me a followup email for my call asking me to wait 48 hours.

Got my 2nd bullet by yesterday(Feb 20). Shipping Estimate is March 1, 2013 in Google Play.

Used HDFC CC and PPOBOX address. Fingers crossed. :)
[Nexus 4 General] akhz99:
I got the second bullet in the morning... then i got the second msg from citi about abother transaction.. called the bank they said its not the old one being claimed but a new unclaimed charge.. should i call google or wait?
[Nexus 4 General] chintan.y.t@gmail.com:
both 8th gb as well as 16 gb have their time reduced to 1-2 weeks in playstore.
[Nexus 4 General] sagarmangla:
Let google charge.

Sometimes u would get charged 3 times from google and sometime 2 times.

Your order would ship soon after the charge.

Atlast!

Google charged my card today (only once since the order), I was going to withdraw the money and cancel my order as I had been waiting for 3 weeks now. I ordered on the 30th, got a failed charge attempt on 7th (unlucky!) and nothing else until this morning's charge. Google wallet shows "Google Inc. received your order".

No shipping mail yet. Just waiting for it.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:

Problem Clarify someone plz

Hi Guys,

I placed the order for my Nexus 4 on the 15th of feb. It took 2 days for the order to be recieved by Google but after that the status has been stuck there and has been no progress. After snooping around i came across this.

Check out the attached image.

I am really worried right now. I know they will not charge me but the fact that i might not get the nexus 4 saddens me. Can any clarify or has an idea about this situation please let me know.

:crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Rekursion:
Hey! I ordered yesterday evening using HDFC CC and immediately got two 'bullets' in my Google Wallet account. Within seconds HDFC informed me of 21.4k being deducted. Why did it take so long for you? Or is this your second deduction?

Cheers!:good:
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Yeah all of us who ordered from the US have Summer homes there.
[Nexus 4 General] AkshayHegde:
No clue

I used PPox for shipping. Dunno why its taking so long for me. Just seems like they havent moved forward after receiving the order. Since there is no way of cancelling the order and starting again I guess i will have to wait the 1-2 weeks out.

Any other way i can go about this?
[Nexus 4 General] akhz99:
If i use comgateway.. does express shipping mean less customs or is it a myth?
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
Express Shipping just means early delivery. Nothing connected to customs.

Shipping cost involved in importing two nexus 4

hi folks, I've been silently following this thread for past 2 months and finally decided to order a nexus 4 for me my friend. I'd really appreciate if some one can suggest me the best forwarding agent. just so you know, I stay in Gurgaon. does ordering two handsets helps in reducing shipping cost? thanks and spare me if I've asked silly question :)
[Nexus 4 General] vikasverma:
I ordered through HSG, its good but delhi custom is lil high as compare to other cities. HSG provides mandatory insurance as well, so it is fine.

on the other hand ppobox is more hassle free, it has prepaid custom...Now you decide....both are good anyway... :) And I dnt think ordering two phone would save your money..

hi i purchased 8 gb from US Play store on 6 feb still no update from google....anyone around 6 feb got update?plz help me ..if it is not going to delivered soon i have to cancel.
[Nexus 4 General] ShankyJain:
Use eBay for cases... U get good ones for around 300 n for screen protector use XtremeGuard. Search thread for their 70% disc code. You can have the screen guard for abt $2 + $1 shipping. I personally had a very good experience of their cust service. I had to change my shipping address. They did that even though shipping was already initiated. Though it will take about 15-20 days for u to receive.

actually i am from Delhi and i ordered through ishopinternational.com they are handling my purchase i paid them on 6 feb and they mailed me of successful purchase..they are not willing to share more info but only saying that they are waiting it to be delivered them in US...i want to know that is it normal that US 8 gb purchase on 6 feb is taking so much time?
[Nexus 4 General] indianets:
I made the second purchase for my bro. Same card (HDFC NetSafe) same address, everything was ditto.

But this time, as the order processing took more time(8 days) than the last time(1 day), I got a mail from Google Play saying my card has no enough money, though this was for 20K, I added another NetSafe and they processed the order. Now, I see Double Charge, both of my cards were charged and money deducted from my account. But, this is complicated - in the transaction list the charges from Google *Devices is 0.00 and status is In Use, while the new card's status is Charged and actual amount is shown (Rs. 17574.46), so I believe they have just "Authorized" the first card and have blocked amount on that. I have removed the cards from Google Wallet but still it says In Use. Anyone else got the same issue and any idea to get the money back faster (Unltimately it will get back as I believe when the card expires, no?).

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!

Guys this is my story

Im from Cape Town South Africa("I know this is the wrong thread but i cant find a SA thread,lol")

I orderd the nexus 4 on the 8th of Feb,i waited until the 20th of Feb and my order got cancelled and wallet blocked.

I created another account today and i called in to check if everything was OK,and the lady from wallet support said that my Google does not deliver to post box's !!!

Why are they not verifying my account and posting to my post box address and everyone else is doing it??

As on 21st Feb my estimate date has been updated to March 7th. Wondering about whether google ships on estimated date only or does it get pre- poned also :laugh: (i know preponed isn't a word, but we Indians invented it :p)

shipping charges for two nexus 4

Thanks angad619 for your quickie! that means I'll definitely save on shipping charges :) However I'm only concerned about Delhi customs. I just fail to understand why the custom rates differ so much in Delhi and Bangalore (just so you know, Delhi charges Rs 1600 which is twice of Bangalore custom charges.
[Nexus 4 General] Abhi_9:
Would be helpful if you could share the format of your post box address (not exact address) so that it can be compared to the addressed used by the people of this thread.

Also, did you ensure that the shipping address was the same as your wallet's address?
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
@Rekursion shouldn't have a problem as you're seeing the Shipping estimate.I'm guessing you'll soon(within 48 hours) receive the "Google has received your order" email along with your second bullet point in wallet.After that they USUALLY ship the phone within 5-7 days. So hopefully you'll receive your device earlier than expected.

@ashish2199 you should call up Play Support and insist to speak to the Google Wallet dept. to check your wallet status,if you dont receive the 2nd bullet point in your wallet account nor the Shipping estimate in Google Orders and settings, cause more likely than not you might have a hold placed on your Google Wallet account. Google never notifies about holds placed on Wallet accounts which is pretty crappy and you end up waiting till your shipping estimate is crossed and then they wake up to check your wallet account. Search the thread and you'll see quite a few Wallets blocked for unknown reasons. Avoid precious weeks wasted and just get your Wallet status checked.

Hello all....

I had purchased 2 Skinomi Techskin for Nexus 4 from their site, i purchased them on a discount of 60% off, but in their invoice they have not mentioned anywhere the price, im shipping them through HSG, now i have to declare the package value on HSG before they can ship it. Now my question is what package value should i declare the one after discount or the original one.....im asking this from customs point of view, will they consider the original price or the one after discount. Any help or suggestions guys?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
If the invoice does not have the price, customs will consider the standard value of the item or the approximate value. Which would result it more customs duty....

Keep us posted how much did you actually pay once you get the item...

[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
The bullets everyone's talking about is seen in your Google Wallet. When you click on Orders and Settings at the bottom of the page in your play store account, youll see your phone and the day it was ordered.If you click on 'Info' next to your Shipping Estimate/Preorder status youll be taken to your Wallet account.First Bullet is "Your order has been sent to Google" whereas 2nd is "Google received your order". Ideally you should have atleast 2 bullet points within 3-4days of ordering.If you don't,get in touch with wallet.

My Nexus 4 is shipped(Feb 21). Just got my email 30 minutes back(A day of delay with email from google though). :) :) :)
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
Reconnect to your WiFi network. Your WiFi bars are greyed out signifying no internet conection.Also I'd recommend you call from a PC cause sometimes the PlayStore Techsupport call quality is crap and volume is very low. Atleast on your pc you can turn up the speaker volume. When you wait for 15mins on hold to be transferred to a supervisor and you cant hear the person, having to disconnect is a pain.

[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
Planning to order two N4 phones.

A bit of a dilemma.

HopShopGo or PPO box?

PPO box customer support is at Mumabi and guaranteeing only 2.3% customs duty (Rs 500 or so for $349-Nexus4) and a sealed delivery to Hyderabad. also they say no octroi will be charged as Iam in Hyderabad even though they are clearing in Mumbai and sending it thro Bluedart.

Only problem USA sales tax :crying:!! Those who used PPO to their NY address -what is the sales tax % or $ wise on N4 16gb ($ 349) ??

HSG deliveries are sometimes opened by customs it seems.

Also customs duty to bangalore delivery looks cheap (800 including courier service charges) where as some posters here for delivery to Hyderabad have paid rs 1500+ as duty.:confused:

The only saving grace is no sales tax levied for delivery to their Oregon address.

I have a ShopN Ship account account also lying unused (in wife's name).

Their office is in NY city or so. so sales tax will be there. %??

any one used them here recently? Do they charge octroi too?

Freight looks slightly cheaper.

Planning to use ICICI credit card.thanks

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

If I use HSG which option is better custom clearing wise in India ------ as for as higher/lower Customs duty & Open box/sealed box issue?:confused:

Express shipment handled by DHL or

Normal shipment handled by UPS/Fedex ??

I may wrong in all my assumptions ....I did read 10-20 pages.... members who have gone thro this ...Kindly suggest...

Thanks

Hey guys, i ordered my nexus 4 on 18th feb and today got an email with a tracking no. that my device has been shipped.:o

I used a HDFC netsafe virtual credit card. I have updated my ppobox account with the tracking id. Can anyone using ppobox tell me , what next should i do? Should i just wait some more time or get in contact with ppobox. Thanks in advance.:)
