That'd be an early Christmas for a few hundred people today then.. :D
[Nexus 4 General] abufaka:
they would have done that earlier, because they have a hold on your cc already.

PS:

also as addendum i don't get why people freak out weeks before their projected order date.

be happy if it ships earlier than projected. you all got the date at order time.

get a life, its just a phone albeit a good one as it seems. flooding google with unnececary letters will at most cause more hickups.

so your theory was so great. not. time to apologize.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

I also suspect LG as the main culprit. Google seems to keep their mouths shut cause it's tactful in businness relations not to point fingers. maybe LG didn't suspect the N4 to rival their phones and they kind of kept the production line short because of the business agreements allowing not as much profit as their other production phones (why would anyone buy a optimus right now if enough N4 would be in stock?), but that's mere speculation.

I am also a little bit astounished about googles failure with the order system, but it seems they will learn from it. I for myself think giving out the exact time of availability was a failure. they should have sticked to making preordering and start from there. and it seems like they are doing the exact thing right now.
[Nexus 4 General] scandalousk:
Just ordered two phones at the google play store, lets hope I am incredibly lucky and I get my phones before january. Although I think ordering two instead of one doesn't increase my chances. Does anyone know if it matters, or doesn't it matter at all?
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
The only known pattern so far is that there is no pattern. You might even get a shipment mail today; my theory says they're trying to get most of them out before Christmas.
[Nexus 4 General] virmitsui:
I am waiting for tomorrow... Media Markt, please gimme my device... ;)

[Nexus 4 General] ingbrzy:
Also waiting for MediaMarkt in Stuttgart tomorrow... preordered at 30.11...
[Nexus 4 General] virmitsui:
Mine preordered at 25 nov. Don't belive to get it tomorrow but maybe maybe...

Wysłane z mojego GT-I9070P
[Nexus 4 General] scandalousk:
Haha I know, that's why I'm hoping to be very lucky, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Although yesterday, I saw a guy mentioning that he ordered it yesterday and got the shipment mail 4 hours later, so anything is possible.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Anyone seen any changes under their shipment on the DHL website? It seems that it is stuck at 40%. Maybe they didn't collect the phones yet (as in, yesterday was just emailing customers & transmitting the jobs to DHL)?
[Nexus 4 General] siggdroid:
Mine is stuck at 0%, but i hope to get mine tomorrow. Shipping is faster than the Website. I saw it with my nexus 7 order, the shipping email and the device arrived on the same day

[Nexus 4 General] fieldinger:
mine arrived today at 8:05am. yay!
[Nexus 4 General] Testraindrop:
Any new shipping mails today? Or was everything they got send out yesterday? :(
[Nexus 4 General] srwcom:
Still I can not believe this. I was waiting from 16:00 (1 hour before the unit was available) just to make sure that I am gonna get the phone. After issues I managed to order it 17:03:49, which doesn't matter any more because many people, hours/days after me, got the phone and I am still refreshing my email account.

Lucky you guys. I am not mad with you, I am mad with google.
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Mine is 60%, probably will come today.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Mail yesterday & process at 40% the whole night? Where do you live, close to Feucht..?
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Ok, so there was movement. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
It really takes annoyingly long until they updates the status. Mine stuck until this morning at 0% and then I could see it was handled yesterday afternoon. So it will hopefully come today..

You have come so close, don't loose ya patience :D
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
No no, not losing my patience at all. Just wondering. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] Etihad:
My delivery status is at 80% since today morning 03:40.

[Nexus 4 General] fieldinger:
augsburg
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
I also got mine at 9am and the tracking is still at 60%... don't worry :D
[Nexus 4 General] dadonking:
There are still enough people who have ordered at 4.12 and still have not received anything, so keep calm. As far as i know, you should be happy and thank google, if you will get you device this year!
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
I know, it was a rage post :D Even if I'm so envyous of people who ordered yesterday and already got it shipped :D

09:25h

Status: "Voraussichtliches Versanddatum: 15. November 2012"

Still waiting for the shippment confirmation email.

I ordered the 16GB version.
[Nexus 4 General] TobiS87:
Same here.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
+1

Still no changes in Play Store status.

Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012

I'm in Berlin and I wonder if I'll get it by the end of the week.
[Nexus 4 General] chrizzk:
Same for me (Voraussichtliches Versanddatum: 15. November 2012) :/ My order is from 09:24, the 16GB one. Hope they didn't let more orders pass than they have phones?
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Hello everyone ;) its amazing! Haptic feedback feels like Zeus' wrath in your hands.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
I hate you.

Only kidding of course. Congratulations, let us know how it behaves! :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
You really like pissing people off, don't you? :laugh:

Peace
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:

Lucky one! Anyway... congratulations!
[Nexus 4 General] vrooden:
+3

Ordered 09:22 on 13.11., also 16GB version, "Voraussichtliches Versanddatum: 15. November 2012". Hope they'll ship today so I might get it before the weekend.

Where do they ship from? Order status says ordered at Google Ireland, Dublin. Do they REALLY ship from Ireland? If so, I think delivery will take 1-2 days more. *sigh*

EDIT: over-read it's shipping from kitzingen, oberfranken. At least a little hope.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Did anyone who got one get the bumper as well, or have the bumper shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] DerKiLLa:
Kitzingen

The time u ordered the Nexus 4 doesnt matter. A guy ordered it at 10:49 and got it yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] vrooden:
Okay, looked further back in the thread. Looks like delivery (confirmation) is around 18:00 to 21:00, that's the timespan others reported their confirmation. So it seems Google is only posting the confirmation when the packet is REALLY on it's way -- not like Amazon sending "sent"-mail with tracking ID at lunch, but tracking shows it really arrived at DHL only in the evening.

So in a few hours we'll know. Or maybe not. Damn!
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
I just emailed Google and got the quick automated response as soon as I clicked the submit button.

I asked them about the shopping times, as some of the German users already got their devices.

This is what the sent me:

Orders are shipped within two business days of placing your order, and will be delivered upon two additional business days of processing.

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of 15-11-2012.

Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. Please note that it might take up to 24 hours before the tracking number returns any information.

For more information on shipping and delivery, please see this article in our help center:

[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
i called google support again, this time i even had an english speaking guy on the phone. but just as i already thought they dont know anything. just that everything is okay.

thanks a lot google.

even my screen protector i bought at ebay which came in a simple envelope arrived the next day.
[Nexus 4 General] Martin_Ro:
when I read here, I start thinking that they first send out the 8GB Version (maybe because they have had them on stock)...
[Nexus 4 General] Oggy512:
hm. i don't think so. i ordered the 16gb version and it arrived today :)
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
what was your status? "shipping estimated..", "complete",....? thank you
[Nexus 4 General] Oggy512:
in google play "versandt", (yesterday there was "est. shipping on 15th nov.)

in gwallet "complete"
[Nexus 4 General] ganryugdm:
Hello guys...

I received the DHL number yesterday morning:

Nov 14 Google Commerce Ltd shipped your order.

Track DHL package #7054272790

But there is no info about that number... I sent email to DHL and they said theres nothing about that num er...

What can I do now?
[Nexus 4 General] aMpeX:
Mine just arrived as well, time to put my Optimus 2X to rest
[Nexus 4 General] rakludnet:
Congrats to the people who got/getting today.

I'm still waiting (4/12 17.05:09) for shipping mail :(
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Waiting for arrival! :P Already got an 8 gig though, just upgrading to a 16 gig. Maybe I'll post a picture of all three of my nexus 4s together ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Gryx:
Looks like there is really no shipping pattern. A friend of mine ordered on 10 Dec and got it shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
I want to correct myself. It seems like Google can indeed move your mails to recycle bin.

I just checked my recycle bin and next to the spam that goes there because of a filter there was a mail that my order was suspended because I hadn't enough money on my credit card.

I received this mail and I read it a few days ago, but I definitely didn't delete it (I never delete any mails).

This means Google moved it to recycle bin after the problem was solved by me.

I knew Outlook has such a feature where you can move already sent mails to the recycle bin, but it seems like google can do the same. (What this means for you I cannot say)
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
Now, THIS really seems to be nonsense.
[Nexus 4 General] Jur1nator:
stuck at 20% since i got the shipping mail..

here in berlin =S :P
[Nexus 4 General] gendjo:
Hi , i want to ask if there is any diferences between Credit Card or Debit card to order N4. I could' nt order with my debit card. It say should be a CC.

I am already completely pissed off with all this phone ****...Google does'nt want to take my money, WTF ? ??
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Google only accepts credit cards (I don't know why the text on wallet says you could add a debit card, this is obviously not possible)
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I think at least in the US play store debit cards are accepted.
[Nexus 4 General] thunderger:
Mine was shipped today but I'm at work so I've to get it from my local postal office tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] DiggHead:
I got a DHL tracking number yesterday, Google Wallet says, that my package was shipped 13.12, but the tracking code still doesn't work, do I have to worry?
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
On the delivery vehicle! Pity the tracking lags behind 3 hours...
[Nexus 4 General] Jur1nator:
complete bs..

i used a debit visa credit card.. and so did my friend and we both got the order trough without a problem ( apart from the usual shipping fiasko :p)
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
maybe you mixed up something

Debit card is a card from your bank to pay things directly from your account etc.

a credit card is a card, with which you can buy things and pay later from your bank account.

i guess you meant a prepaid credit card
[Nexus 4 General] Svenmaster:
same for me ;d think it changes today :)
[Nexus 4 General] maisi:
I think there is a mix available at some banks, a normal bank account with a debit card however you can get an additional credit card using the same bank account. Usually the credit card company creates a new account just for the CC and gets the money from you after a certain amount of time.

This should in fact also work since it's handling like a conventional credit card.

Could be wrong though.
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
you call it a credit card yourself ...

A debit card is the card you get from your bank when you create an account (maestro or vpay).

@Topic:

Just ordered a Nexus 7, they could easily put a Nexus 4 in the same box, but they won't I guess ^^

The shipping costs really suck, 10€ for shipping a package inside Germany in a crappy cereal box? I don't even pay this much when I ship something in a different country and I'm not a billion dollar company ...
[Nexus 4 General] paparozzi:
Wow, so many people got lucky... I ordered at 17.14h on the 4th and haven't heard anything yet. On what page do you guys see, that your status changed to pre ordered? On your wallet account?
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Play Store (click on the gear in the upper right, "Meine Bestellungen und Einstellungen")
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
On Play Store, My Orders
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Lol, WTF?

Play Store even calls my Nexus 7 "pre-ordered". (No it's not the 3G version, just the 32GB WiFi which will be shipped in the next days, maybe even today)

Seems like everything is just set to pre-ordered, regardless on what it is :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] hachel:
hey guys, I ordered at 17:05:43 and didn't get any email yet. so i checked the sync-settings for gmail on my android (grasp any straw ;)) and found out that it was set to sync manually

so i checked for new mail just now and voila, got the email at 23:04 yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] mko000:
My Nexus 4 finally arrived on Wednesday. The delivery guy had it in his car since Friday though...he just forgot to deliver it.

I can laugh about it now, but I was furious the days before...
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
So no shipping emails today at all?
[Nexus 4 General] TylerDurden1999:
I asked this question and no1 replied.

Does the warranty is international?

If my phone is defect, i need to RMA it to Google Play, right?Cuz im buying it from there.
[Nexus 4 General] shyd:
Does anybody have in mind when the mailing started yesterday?

Hoped they would continue with nothern Germany today :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] DocWasted:
I got the mail yesterday at 1300
[Nexus 4 General] rakludnet:
Just called them. The lady on the otherside cant tell anything when I can expect shipping mail/device etc.

I told my shipping status was 1-2 weeks and by next Tuesday, I will cancel my order if I dont get anything.

She said we need to add extra 1-2 days for the sipping estimate and says I should get the device end of next week.

I told her there is no pattern of first come first serve and she says its the way we are doing it :angry:

I gave some examples from this thread and she acted as surprised to know :D

She asked if I can take part in customer feedback program. I said NO becuase Im unsatisfied.
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Google allows me to give the device to someone else as present, and there is no limitation on the country stated. So I would say this shouldn't be a problem.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Good luck then next week or maybe they get some more out today! :)

If I were you I would have asked for her supervisor. I know the people on the phone are not responsible for the total BS that is going on I would try to drive an escalation as far as possible by myself.
[Nexus 4 General] rakludnet:
I should have done that. Neverthless, wait n wait :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
So, for the ones that have it: was it worth all the hassle..? :p
[Nexus 4 General] mko000:
That's very subjective of course...but YES :). It's a joy everytime you touch it. Sounds weird...;).
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Yes, I love this device (although I still wait for a fix for the washed out colors (see this thread))
[Nexus 4 General] smadger:
I have been advising others in the UK that if you are asked about a survey, take it, especially if you are unsatisfied, otherwise how will Google know how to improve?

Also, just as a side note, try not to get angry with the CSR, They want to help - it's their job - but have little info to go on. Take a look here...

https://sites.google.com/site/nexus4cr/calling-google
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
Absolutely :thumbup:

Don't know which devices you've had before, I had a one x.. It's like HTC desire to sensation for me. So speedy, responsive and amazing built quality. I absolutely enjoy being on the pure android. This phone is worth every minute! And I know the most of us are still waiting a lot minutes :(

Conclusion. It is worth all the drama

Cheers Pete
[Nexus 4 General] rakludnet:
I was never angry with CSR. I just said I dont want to take part in survey. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
Every single word is like a sword through my chest!

Hope I'll get it by the end of the year, as someone said :)
[Nexus 4 General] DiggHead:
That's the point, I called Google and have to say, altought her german wasn't really good and she refused to talk english (because she HAS to speak german on a german service line), the phonelady was very polite and she really tried to help.

So I had to answer to all questions with "yes", SHE was (our would be) able to help me out, but Google as a corp. fuc*ed it up. :)

Anyways, where can I add my Nexus 4 (16GB)-delivery experience to that google docs table we had in this thread?

Order: 04.12.12 at 17:05:30

Estimated time: 1-2 Weeks

Shipping confirmation: 13.12.12 at 15:03

Tracking is at 60% today, it's in my Zielpaketzentrum since 10:37, it was in Feucht (Start-Paketzentrum) at 19:34 yesterday, maybe it will be here tomorrow.

I payed using my wallet creditcard (VISA, regular one I used to pay for Apps before).
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
My yesterdays order changed to pre ordered today..is that good so far?:):)
[Nexus 4 General] DarkFire1985:
You can't really assume anything from it.

My order changed to pre-order 2 days ago and nothing so far happened.
[Nexus 4 General] Testraindrop:
Good news everybody, apparantly they are sending out today also :D

Got my shipping mail, ordered 17:47:46, 4.12.

[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
Oh for god sake ! Anyways keepin my hopes high :D
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:

Got my shipping confirmation yesterday and received my phone today at around 14:00 :)
[Nexus 4 General] Hallucinogen775:
Hi guys...

after going crazy and using bad-mouth-words yesterday I want to give you an update:

Got shipping mail at 20:05 (08:05 PM). Device was delivered to Eschweiler, NRW at about 11:30 (AM). It is waiting for me when I get home. I think I will make "Feierabend" really soon... ;)
[Nexus 4 General] biandtlp:
good news! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] egezhang:
great to know. mine was ordered just 3 minutes later than yours (17:50:49, 4.12), still waiting for shipping.

If your stupid Nexus 4 deliverys prevent them from shipping my Nexus 7 today: f*ck you all :D:p

[Nexus 4 General] timyyy:
Anyone have an idea how many pieces Saturn & Mediamarkt gonna receive in January?
[Nexus 4 General] shyd:
I was in Saturn some weeks ago. The guy told me they had 5 preorders - now imagine how many phones they'll get... 4 at all

All I did was laughing :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Etihad:
Yes, yes, yes!!! Finally received my Nexus 4 15 minutes ago.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz852:
OH MY GOOOD !!!

I got a delivery notice!!!!!!!

DHL rang my bell and I was not at home. They put it to the local DHL shop so I can pick it up tommorow!

The thing is, I didn´t get any Delivery confirmation or tracking number and my Playstore and Wallet both didn´t change yet?!?? What happened there O.o
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
I just mailed google and got the automatic mail back saying that my phone will be delivered on the evening of 31.01.2013. WTF GOOGLE
[Nexus 4 General] shyd:
Are you sure it's your N4? Hopefully it is ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
What address did you write to? I tried but got no reply.
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
Ive opened up my confirmation email and on the bottom you can see Contact us, this will link you to google play where you can choose whether you want to know your order status or something else. I picked order status and was linked to a contact from. 5 seconds later I got that email.
[Nexus 4 General] timyyy:
And how can i preorder a nexus 4? I'm from Belgium, can i call Saturn in Cologne to pre-order one?
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
You probably can, yes. Mediamarkt also takes pre orders.
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
I want to see your face when you open the package and it's something else you forgot about :D

[Nexus 4 General] siata05:
just came from work and found DHL note, that there is a package for me (I am waiting only for Nexus 4), however I didn't get shipping notification at all and in my Google Play it's still Pre-ordered.

Ordered at 17:04:12 with 1-2 weeks shipment, charged from my CC on 12.12.

Can't wait till tomorrow :)

P.S. I still don't like you Google ;)
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
Well I think everyone gets that message. People already had that message and got their phones delivered 2 days after order. Even with 6-7 weeks estimate LOL.
[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
Also wrote an inquity mail....

meh...
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
Sucks ass doesnt it?
[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
It isnt really the wait time that makes me mad, I agreed to that when ordering.

But when the system prioritizes people that bought the phone several DAYS after I did, and they already have their phone something is wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] timyyy:
Ok, Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] Gryx:
You better order at play store. More chance of getting one.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Anybody else got the problem, that his package stucks @ 40%?

My colleague received his shipping mail @ 10.30 pm and his nexus was deliverd @ 11 am. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Can't order from Belgium..
[Nexus 4 General] gubshi:
I ordered on dec 4. 17:07 and got mine today :)

got the mail with the dhl tracking number yesterday and now I'm allready playing with my new toy - FINALLY.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Any good? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Gryx:
Yes you can. Download and install cyberghost and run it. Go to play store and order nexus 4. Create an account at mailboxde.com. Use that address for your cc billing address and delivery address.
[Nexus 4 General] sert89:
hey guys, anybody bought nexus from mediamarkt? if so what is the order process? you order online and go to shop and pick up one? how long does it take for you to pick it up? thanks a lot in advance :)
[Nexus 4 General] -Gerto-:
That's exactly how I did it & I'm from Belgium as well; I was able to order.

Only ordered on the 10th so haven't received my phone yet though.
[Nexus 4 General] sorcio46:
Arrived here in Berlin :D

Ordered @ 04/12/12 17:08:07 CET
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Wow, that's great!

Is this known? You should start a new thread about it once you've received your phone and it's confirmed it worked!
[Nexus 4 General] philidor:
I too buy in German play store... but I'm not living in Germany ... actually you can buy n4 only from uk , De e USA so a lot of people are buying from these countries....
[Nexus 4 General] shyd:
I did. On Nov. 22nd. I just got a confirmation mail, nothing more. Yes, you order online and pick it up at your local store you selected during checkout. When I ordered it should be in my store tomorrow. I will call them tomorrow to see what's going on and what about 15.12.12/15.01.13 shipping delay.

Of course I will inform you guys! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] qtekker:
I pre ordered the N4 at media markt in november. Delivery has changed to january.

Saturn shows 1-2 weeks delivery. But at Saturn I have to pay in advance, while at media markt I can pay when I pick up the purchase.

Is there a possibility to pre order it at Saturn and pay at pick up? I want to take the one with the fastest delivery and cancel the other.
