They should just do what Google does, stick a sign out that says they have them and they'll ship to your house in 2 days. Then completely ignore you and send you no information what so ever once you've ordered.

I feel like I ordered my Nexus out of the back of some dude's pickup with cash and "the mans word that I get my device".

I didn't get a confirmation email, I didn't get any status updates, nothing has changed. Hell I wouldn't even think I placed an order if i didn't still have pending funds and a Play Store order to look at it.
[Nexus 4 General] sjberlyant:
I am truly concerned at this point. I ordered my Nexus 4 16 gig on Nov 13 8:56:59 AM PST and received by BO yesterday (fun). After calling Google multiple times getting different results someone finally explained to me that my nexus "was finished processing and going to be shipped out ASAP, I only got the email because it was not delivered on the day stated." Today I noticed my Bank of America account shows the Play order as no longer pending, like it never happened. I don't know what to make of this. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] One3OneKing:
Any backorders get their shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] adamhlj:
Things only stay in a pending mode on your bank account for so long. But it will reappear as soon as the device ships.
[Nexus 4 General] derocka06:
Ordered my 8gb at 10:30am PST in Washington State. Just received shipping confirmation and tracking number.
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
how come an order of a phone+bumper weights .6 lbs more than 2xPhones
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
I too would like to know if any backorders get a shipping email.

Im beginning to think it will be unlikely for us backordered folks getting it with this "1st batch".

I ordered my phone around 1pm EST and bumper was ordered at 1:10 EST. My google play info still says Shipping Est Nov 15, and Wallet pending. My credit card is still pending. I got the backorder email yesterday at 3:01pm EST

A lot of folks getting their tracking numbers today have been within 30min of opening sales (also been in limbo)... 8:30am - 9:00am Pacific or 1130am - 12pm EST.

O well. I will have to use my T-Mobile G2X for another couple of weeks... worst phone... ever...
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
some people on the following thread who received the BOE have gotten the shipment email: Play Store orders and shipping thread!
[Nexus 4 General] kola2121:
Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package UPS #............ Note that it may take 24 hours for your tracking number to return any information.

.......Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! N4 8gig ( am from new jersey ) ..placd my order on 11/13/12 after 1pm
[Nexus 4 General] moh230:
NEW JERSEEYYYY, PHILLYY ALL F****ING DAY! ( sorry im bored) , happy for you dude :)
[Nexus 4 General] echaru:
Still nothin. Why are you doing this to me Google? What have I ever done to you?
[Nexus 4 General] ohhdavid:
I was told that if I did not get a backorder email then my order was fine and that I should get it "no later than Monday." This seems accurate since this afternoon (around 1205 eastern) I got a shipping email.

Sadly, I am not one of the very lucky who will get it before the weekend but I will get it on Monday.

For the Google haters, you guys need to cool your jets a bit. Could this all have gone smoother? Probably. However, Google kept their word to me and I bet almost every single one of you all. Are some of you backordered? Yup, that sucks but with the number of orders that got processed in just a few minutes there will no doubt be some hiccups and at least they alerted you about the BO and are trying to throw you a bone. Everyone else who isn't backordered should get theirs today or Monday.

Find something to occupy your time until then and remember that there are probably other things you should be doing other than constantly refreshing xda ;) Although I'm sure I'll still have my eye here too.
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
my two day shipping is going to take 4 days.

why couldnt they have released the phone monday...
[Nexus 4 General] echaru:
Please Google, I'll be a good boy. Take me out of this limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] erikiksaz:
[whine]

Why couldn't they have processed them first come first serve is what I'm wondering.

Anyways, I ordered at 834 and my 2 16GB N4s and 32GB N10 shipped. Stupid tracking info is not live yet, which means I have no hope of getting it today, on my day off. ****ing google.

[/whine]
[Nexus 4 General] phixional:
You probably used Ad Blocker Google hates that app
[Nexus 4 General] Ameri-CAIN:
I ordered at the same time as you. I too am still in Limbo. I ordered one 16GB N4, no bumbers, SoCal. I am not mad either, just anxious! I've been glued to these shipping threads for the past two days. Its good to see so many people were interested in this phone. Even with the delays and backorders this phone is going to be wildly popular. A big user base means a big developer base her on XDA, and that my friends is an awesome thing! :D
[Nexus 4 General] dantheman_:
I'm beginning to think that I've sinned against Google. I've tried to be their biggest proponent, but somewhere along the line, I must have transgressed. Google! I'm sorry for whatever I've done to offend you. Pretty please with sugar on top, ship the phone I ordered... please?
[Nexus 4 General] aaronkalb:
Ditto. I was up at midnight EST, 3:00 AM EST, watched all morning and then got my order in at 8:36 PST. I have no issues with a delay due to volume, but shipping by anything other than FIFO is super lame, especially if I'm forced to pay for 2 day shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] echaru:
This thread slowed down a lot. What happened? Everybody else got the N4 but me?

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Look, I want to get my N4 before the world ends, next month
[Nexus 4 General] adamhlj:
Lol oh yeah, thats right! I forgot about that :)
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah a lot of us that got the back order email have since left, I'm not sure why I still look, just torturing myself.
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
You guys need to have hope I got a BO letter too and got shipping info its in Kentucky right now and apparently it was processed last night at 730 pm and I didn't even know about it
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
I'd leave but I enjoy b***hing with the rest of us left in limbo with no f***ing info from Google. Disappointed to say the least.
[Nexus 4 General] duane1221:
My wife just hollered I had a package delivered form UPS in Kentucky. My heart rate quickened, only to find it was something else I had ordered....

Still in Limbo, no communication except the initial order confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
when did u get shipping confirmation last night? I was told they're fulfilling backorders in the order the phones were bought. I'm sure they're getting more shipments as we speak the 3 weeks is just to cover their basis to make sure everyone backordered right now will have a device before they open the play store for new orders. Hope mine ships next week
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
DOH! I hear ya my heart races every time I get an email hoping I finally am getting some acknowledgment from Google (you know, like I'm a customer).
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Another hr passes, in what seems eternity in google limboland..
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
Tell me about it. This is ridiculous. I figured I would probably get a shipping email since everyone else has been, but nope. I am still secretly holding out hope that mine will just show up today.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Same, hoping it will show up today, expecting to get a backorder email sometime between now and monday.
[Nexus 4 General] mb3030:
I posted this on the general thread, but i thought maybe the US specific people would like to know about it too:

Just wanted to chime in:

Ordered 8GB with bumper and clicked the box for linking to account at: November 13, 2012 9:06:53 AM UTC-8

I also ordered a 16GB no bumper at: November 13, 2012 11:26:28 AM UTC-8

I did receive the BO email- but not detailing for which order.

5 minutes ago (11:35am est) i got shipping information for the 8GB and it moved my status to complete on Google wallet.

My 16GB order is still pending etc...

I assume the BO applies to the 16 and i'll get the 8 on Monday.

BTW i live in NY.
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
Oh the deceit! How disappointing :(
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
why I didn't get shipping email whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Nexus 4 General] camaao:
Still in limbo. Ordered within the first 5 minutes of orders being open in the US. If I wasn't bed ridden from a recent surgery I'm sure I'd be less annoyed.

[Nexus 4 General] dcarpenter85:
My Nexus 4 was just delivered!. Originated in Louisville KY yesterday morning, traveled to Columbus, OH last night. Out for delivery this morning, and in my hands as we speak. I'm a happy man!

My order was placed at 11:34am EST Tuesday, no confirmation email but play store said ship date of the 15th and wallet said pending. Got tracking information yesterday morning at 4:38am at which time play store changed to shipped and wallet went from pending to complete.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Congrats, bro! Enjoy your new baby.

You know, as bad as all this sucks, maybe Google will learn from it and the next go around will be smooth. As long as they are learning from their mistakes and striving to make it better in the future I'm happy.
[Nexus 4 General] grubbster:
I got the BO email and while disappointing is ok. I don't NEED the phone this minute and can wait a few weeks. What has me concerned is that now I don't trust them and wonder if the 3 weeks is nothing but BS. I will wait up to 3 weeks to get my phone but if I get another email in 3 weeks I will be pissed!

[Nexus 4 General] Chinese281:
For those that are in the limbo, the pending charge on your card, is it $1 or the full amount?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Mine is full amount.

Wallet says pending, Play says delivery estimate today and I got a back order email.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Full amount and its been past 72 hours and is still pending.
[Nexus 4 General] dantheman_:
Well, my Nexus 10 was delivered. I'm hoping that when I get home, there are two boxes magically waiting for me.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
What's your address, I'll come check it out for you..
[Nexus 4 General] steelydano:
Just got my shipping confirmation, be here Monday. A day late on the shipping notice but its coming. I ordered 8gb no bumper, order placed at 12:48 EST.
[Nexus 4 General] Jin486:
No I didn't get a back order email. My status was just pending for a while
[Nexus 4 General] camaao:
Both Full Charge and the $1. Though I think that has to do with me adding a new credit card to google wallet.
[Nexus 4 General] duane1221:
I have no charge on my card at all. I had an existing wallet account setup. Although my credit limit is about $400 less than it should be, so maybe there is a hold but just not showing online...
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
full amount still pending and still in the limbo

Mine just came at my house. It is sitting outside of the door waiting for me. Need to find an excuse to leave early from work and go home. This is my first android phone that's why I'm very excited. I'm a ruby developer and took this phone only to start doing some android development.

Someone released the order list of the first 600 customers not too long ago. I found my order at 194 of the list and said completed for payment, so I doubted I was backordered from that.
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Hope to see some of ur development when soap is ready.

[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
3-5 days TO THE DOOR. Even if they ship it next day air I doubt I'll have it in the 5 business days. If they do make it on time? By all means I'll drop the complaint. I'm just pissed people ordered after me and already have their devices, while I'm sitting on a 3-week backorder email.

...Especially since they confirmed they would ship mine yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Do you by any chance know where I could find that list? I havent seen it here

HELLO! :o
[Nexus 4 General] babluc:
I'm in the exact same boat. I have no clue whats going on. Google also told me the same thing, about it being shipped soon, also no shipping charge cause its late. BOA has no charge or pending. :confused::mad:
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Yet another hr with nothing from google.....
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Right. But afaik they won't ship things out on Saturday... and at this point I doubt they're gonna ship it today. Which means they would have to next-day it on Monday, which they won't do.

Also might wanna check out my edits. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Right. With the N7 they did pre-orders. Had they not realized it was a bust, the Nexus 4 would have been identical. The fact that they changed the order process means they saw a need. Now that it has blown up in their face, hopefully they will see a need to completely revamp it. That was my point. I assumed it was obvious. Perhaps either a.) It was not, or b.) I'm too optimistic.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Yay so my mofi pouch i was gonna use for my nexus seems like it will be here before my nexus is..and it was shipping from china...
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Completely asinine. Mine shipped on the 15th. It' getting here in a few hours.

WAIT: You actually got a shipping confirmation and you still filed a BBB complaint on the 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
My UPS Tracking:good:
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
No what he is saying is they told him they would ship his yesterday but never did, that is why he is waiting on the back order list.
[Nexus 4 General] flucks:
Mine came in today!!! I really don't know if I am going to stick with it or revert back to my S3, The LCD just isn't that great to be honest. Also, no physical buttons kinda sucks. Oh well, we will see.

Where did you find this list at?
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
most of us were told the same thing....some got pushed to backorder and some like me are still in limbo because we havent officially been back ordered, but are still being told they're still processing orders...its like they only have 1 monkey processing this stuff..

[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
...Seriously? This kind of **** is the reason the BBB exists. They obviously found it valid. Google lied about stock, and took more orders than they could fulfill. They then confirmed shipping dates which they could not fulfill.

If you check my prior posts, I've been defending Google quite a bit.

I didn't file the complaint until nearly midnight the 15th, when it was clear they would not be shipping by the date they expressly gave me. This is not some Ebay seller, it is a corporation.

[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
you JUST got it now??
[Nexus 4 General] echaru:
I'm thinking Google is manipulating the stock market. They intentionally not produce enough Nexus 4 so that the demand is way higher than supplies. This will rocket their stock price, because every is wanting one. Once the supply and demand is equal or more supply than demand, then the stock will stop rising. So they intentionally keep the supply low, so investors will send them more money.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
I honestly think they didn't have any idea how big this device was going to be. You gotta remember the vast majority of press pre-release was "No LTE = No Buy". People weren't thrilled about it being an LG. The reviews were average.
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
I've been fine with patiently waiting.... But I've noticed more and more people are getting their tracking info, even though I ordered before them. Ordered at 11:44am EST. Emailed google, will be interesting to see what they say. Only difference is that it appears maybe because I ordered more than 1; but shouldn't matter. Dozens of those could have made up my order.

I'm in the same place too. I ordered only one 16GB, have no new notifications or updates, and people who ordered well after me are receiving theirs now. It's frustrating. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's a complete fail of their notification system and that it's coming today. :)

*limbos with the rest of you*
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
LOL i just emailed a guy who supposedly has 1 16gb but we'll see if he really does.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
The complaint won't do anything. Google will reply back to the BBB with a clause from the terms you agreed to that will most likely invalidate your complaint and show that google can do this, in the terms there is probably a "Subject to availability"..

That's exactly how this will go down.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
So "IN STOCK" now means "we may or may not have any", and "We will ship your order on the 15th" means "We'll ship it whenever we feel like it"?
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
Did you get a backorder email? I did yesterday.
