Pending in the google's terms mean, your order hasn't been processed yet by google. Which actually means, there are lot more orders placed before yours. If you go to Options -> orders & settings in play store, it would show pre-ordered.. So, nothing to worry..
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
For me its pending in wallet and Feb 13 2013 in play store
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Great thanx for that... But will there be any issues if it tries to charge in later stage??? Because my card was declined by bank on 29th as security measure & i called them to clear it up & now updated the order... So, previously it showed me a declined & now, after i updated it says "successfully updated & google may charge & fullfill your order"... I mean, I don't have to call my bank once again for this, right??? Google will take care of it by itself when shipped, right???

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

What??? Why??? Mine says Pending in wallet & pre order in playstore... But both shows 29th Jan only...

Re : PPO Address Issue

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I was not able to cancel the order through GooglePlay nor via CC. I got a hold of PPO cc and was informed that if I could provide the tracking number soon, they might be able to map it to my account. All I can do is cross my fingers & hope for the best. I have received a notification from Google about my items being shipped & have updated the same to my PPO accnt. Its making me nervous rather than calming me down. I'll just have to wait & see. Nothing I can do now.

Using my N4 without any case or bumper for a month now. Recently ordered the bumper mentioned in link below. It's already shipped and I should have it in few days.

For those whose are planning to use PPOBOX

For those whose are planning to use PPOBOX

I have ordered N4 16GB on 29th Jan (Now Shipped) used PPOBOX, as I was unable to create package identification number because it was asking "Order No. on Item invoice" as mandatory field, so I just ordered without creating, in address I did not put any package identification number. After placing order I created the same.

Today I spoke to PPOBOX Mumbai number and asked the same problem, he told it is helpful to them if you create the package identification number before placing the order and use the same in address, then I inquired without placing the order no seller gives invoice number, shipping company detail so he replied, While creating your Id no. just randomly select any shipping company and in "Order No. on Item invoice" field fill "NA", and get your package identification number, use the same as your shipping address, after getting the detail from seller you can edit and update both field.

if you don't get shipping mail from google at least two days (or three days to be safe) before tour chacha is coming to india, you can cancel the order.

note that google does not refund the money instantly. it takes some days.

Also, i don't know availability of N4 in australia. if you think you may get phone before 7th then buy it.

Plz. help me get my Nexus 4 in India from US

My brother ordered Nexus 4 for me through play store yesterday. Now the question arises "How to bring it to India?"!!

I saw people using HSG, PPObox, MyUS, Borderlinx etc.

Can someone plz. suggest me which is the most reliable shipping company that could help me get mine asap without any customs-hassle.

The things i want in short are:

Reliability, Fast delivery & No customs related inconvenience.

Thanks. :)
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
They charge 10% for Buy For Me services. Plus you need to pay HSG before it ships anyway. So don't see the point. And their shipping includes insurance - so why worry about paying in advance?

Any coupon code required? Plz share.
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
That was me. No coupon code required. In fact PayPal is the only payment method HSG accepts. The discount is thus based on comGateway shipping charges. HSG is a partnership between comGateway & PayPal.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:

and am i supposed to use the same shipping address for amazon as well?
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
It's been answered numerous times on this thread. Research! Otherwise you can follow the link on my signature for a compilation of info from this thread, and all my other research on this :) HSG is the most used among people on this forum at least ... some PPO Box & Borderlinx as well.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

well my UPS shipping tracker says 1.0 lbs, which translates to 0.45 kg. So I don't plan to pay for more than 0.5 kg! Moreover, I'll opt for Standard Shipping and save a few bucks and rather receive it 3-4 days later :) I think once you have the package, then you can see the discount :)
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
HSG will store your shipments for free up to 30 days. You can consolidate your shipments and ship as you wish.

Yes, same HSG address in Amazon.

There is a minor catch there. Even I'm OK with getting it a week later or so. But if you opt for Standard shipping, HSG will ship via Fedex and ppl have reported issues with that. Express will go thro DHL. And lets see if the discount applies.

1. How much will I have to pay to the customs for the phone and bumper?

2. How many days will PPObox take to send it to me after they receive it?

3. I used an ICICI Debit card to pay. But my account hasn't been charged yet. Will my account be charged twice at the time of shipping?

HDFC credit card charged , shipping through PPOBOX

Hello,

I booked nexus 4(16gb) yester i.e 31st Jan at around 7.30 ist using indian HDFC Credit card. Immediately after booking I got a message from bank saying I am charged abt 21k for device purchase from google. Is this normal?

After it been charged, I checked the status in google play store - its saying approx shipping date as 13th Feb. And in google wallet its under Pending section in My transactions

So i thought we wont be charged untill the device is shipped? Did this similar behavior happen to anybody else?

Just 1 question to those who had ordered and got the phone shipped.. When you order from play store, the amount will be deducted from your credit limit, but the card will not be charged until the product is actually shipped.. And when the product is shipped, do they charge the same amount that had been reserved earlier or do they charge something more?? I ask this bcoz my current credit limit in around Rs.1k.. So, I am worried tat if they charge something more, my payment might decline :(.. Some insight on this would be helpful..
[Nexus 4 General] rodeo_calling:
No option required actually. any card with a visa/maestro label will do when you are asked to enter your card info (has your ICICI bank international debit card got extra 3 digits on the back, if so you should be alright) .And if you don't know what Google wallet is, maybe you shouldn't buy or at least use Google to research a little....

Well, tbh, I've already gone through the link, but still having lots of doubts.

It would be really great if rodeo_calling could clarify these:

1. So, basically, adding any Indian credit card works to your google account?

From the thread there, it seems, google checks whether ur shipping address and billing address for the credit card are from the same country and otherwise rejects the order.

How did you get around this? [ Create a new google account, with shipping address in US and link indian cc to the google wallet account?]

2. Can you suggest a free and reliable vpn (which you used)?

[ Tor requires lots of workarounds, doesn't seem to be working for me in Windows 8; or maybe i don't know much]

[ unodns seems to be a good suggestion. but only 8-day trial, by which time unlikely that it will be listed]

21317 is the total with actual conversion rate. The 500 extra is their currency conversion charge.

No, actual weight was 0.44 kg. Volumentric was 0.23 kg. And it's already night at Portland. I'm not expecting shipping details before today evening. But I believe all their standard shipping are via Fedex.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

The initial SMS is for blocking an approx amount based on that day's rate. However, final charges are based on the exchange rate of the day claim the money from your bank (usually shipping day or next) + 3.5% forex charges + 12.36% service tax on forex charges. And that makes the difference.
