I'd say im Limbo level 10 as I ordered one yesterday and got backordered didnt receive a mail i just called today to ask and got owned.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
In a limbo right that it's off the Richter Scale.
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
DANG!
[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Didn't the site say ships within x number of weeks when you ordered? That's what I saw when I went on there to check for the bumper. If that's the case you would not be in limbo you know what to expect however I agree Google sucks at communication. If it did not say that I am sorry it happened to you too.

Out For Delivery ......................Hope you guys who waiting will receive it soon
[Nexus 4 General] nomadism:
So now it looks like I'm a new Limbo Level 3.1342352452490209810934190348019348290358... No, seriously, I got a UPS tracking number, but it still reads that

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

For the last 18Hs. So is this something like a rare occasion that I'm facing a shipping accident? :(
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I have the same thing, don't worry about it. It will be there tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] Nburnes:
Got my shipping email this morning at 3:04am PST. Tracking hasn't become live though, so I bet I get it tomorrow. Fantastic surprise if it arrives later tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
Have the samething, was about to cancel my order yesterday as well. Decided I was going to pass on the nexus 4 and buy a new gun. Few days playing nexus 4 may change my mind, if not its going to be sold
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I have the same thing too. They will probably just overnight it tonight :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] demosthen3s:
Same here. Honestly all I want at this point is for them to update my stupid shipping information.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
What gun you looking at instead?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
The not knowing is killing me!
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
OK. I still haven't gotten an email with a tracking number or shipment notice. Am I the last one? Who else is in my boat?
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
No did not say that. He just told me that my Nexus 4 will come but when he doesn't know. ****ty google.
[Nexus 4 General] umaru:
Same here.....
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah same here all mine says is, "Order Processed: Ready for UPS." I hate to complain because I actually did get a shipping notice.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
The text i got comforts me a little, but i just want to see some confirmation from my tracking :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] drak0:
Same...
[Nexus 4 General] dbolot1:
Same here...:mad:
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah same heren I would like to known its actually moving.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Me too! Limbo 3 Roll call!
[Nexus 4 General] Emama:
Got my phone already!!

2day shipping but got it next day before 11pm, crazy
[Nexus 4 General] jc monkeyballs:
same boat as you guys now. I wouldn't be surprised either by it showing up on my doorstep within the next 5 minutes or by it leaving KY today and not arriving until Friday. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
According to the rep I spoke to, my order has been processed and I should still be within the 3 weeks (did not tell me when it should ship), despite the lack of updates on the play store and wallet. The "specialist" is supposedly in the process of figuring out why I'm on backorder and never received any emails besides the initial confirmation, like that helps.
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
M&p, sig, glock
[Nexus 4 General] to0:
My phone is out for delivery today. I'm in Denver if anyone's curious.

Order date: Nov 13, 2012 10:56:39 AM PST

My micro SIM better get here today too; can't wait to dump this stupid Cliq!
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Called the rep... She told me that it should ship this week and that I still had two days to see shipping notice... Then i mentioned that someone who ordered yesterday already got shipping info and I was wondering if there was a credit card issue.

So she put me on hold for 10 mins to look into it... came back talking about it appears as if my credit card has placed a hold on the funds and that I should contact them to see why....
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Look at the springfield XD series too if you get a chance, I am looking at those for a carry gun, great to shoot, fairly cheap as well.
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
I have , don't like feel of it. Enjoy my glocks, and m&p .
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Hmm, alright you're the first person I think I have ever talked to about it that hasn't liked it. But everyone has a personal preference.
[Nexus 4 General] Skenzin:
Own several M&Ps in 40. Shot a glock Gen4 this past weekend and did not like it at all. Recoil to me seemed double.The Berreta Px4 line is very nice as well. Sig 226/229 is my new dream gun.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I like the sigs. I'm not sure why. there is just something about them.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Are you guys planning a raid on Googletown?
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
Let's not get it side-tracked too much with this offtopic.

Limbo level 3 completed successfully with 2 phones delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] kenjiwing:
My bumper is still in pending from the 13th..

:(
[Nexus 4 General] Skenzin:
lol. no, in the grand scheme of things waiting a few days for phone that none of us will care about in a year is not that bad.
[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
Mine as well, after 2 phone calls and 5 emails later this is the best information I could get:

"I see your bumper is still in our backorders. Your bumper should be shipped to you within 1-2 weeks. I'm sorry for the delay and if you have any other questions please reply back to this email."

Pathetic.

Shipping Limbo

I received my tracking number about 24 hours ago but it still just says "a shipping label has been created...".

I called UPS and they said they have not received the package yet and that the shipping labels are printed many times before the package is in their possession. They also said I should call the seller and see what the status is on sending UPS the product.

I really hope this doesn't mean that mine will not ship. Unless they overnight at this point I don't see how the two-day air is going to get to me by tomorrow which is the estimated delivery date. I am in Arlington, VA.
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
Mine read the same till about a hour or so ago, delivery for tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] Ranguvar:
Mine was also just a label, updated at 11:36AM today in Louisville, KY.

Coming tomorrow!
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Oh. My. God.

I just called Google Play Support about my order. The rep, who was quite nice, said that they tried to charge my card Monday and haven't gotten a response. I called Amex (card). They said they haven't gotten anything from Google since the 13th of Nov. I'm screwed....
[Nexus 4 General] galuquetta:
I just got this message in the UPS Tracking:

Anyone knows what it means?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
That means you, or someone with a My UPS account at your address asked for the package not to be delivered on the original date and asked for it to be rescheduled to a later one.
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
That really sucks :( I hope they get everything worked out for you quickly!
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
Wow, it seems that they have NO idea what is going on at all. I'm also still pending due to the bumper in my order. Today I've seen at least 5 forum members reporting that they have received shipping email for their orders containing N4 + bumper in 3 different markets - US, Canada and Germany. I really hope they ship all our orders this week (I'm in the UK).
[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
I may cancel soon, I already purchased and received a cheap TPU case from Ebay anyhow.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Same thing is happening to me... my visa credit line is saying that they never even attempted to charge the card since the 13th... Dammmnnit... we are never getting out of limbo
[Nexus 4 General] Slimgym20:
My phone is here finally! Was an LL3.
[Nexus 4 General] abhipati:
Got one order today .next one tommow. Was in l3 ,happy for everyone who made it
[Nexus 4 General] JohnMiroki:
Same here
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
A question for the people who got their N4 today: If you ordered just one phone with no accessories, what are the dimensions of the shipping box that it came in? Thanks!

(I'm asking because my N4 is being delivered tomorrow to an address that I am no longer at, so I need to prepare a shipping label to have it shipped to my current location.)
[Nexus 4 General] AKfortyseven:
Got tracking info at like 4 am and origin scan around 2pm ish i think

package in CT and should be here 11-3 tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
It is 7.5" long by 4.25" wide by 2.25" deep, and UPS had it at 1.1lbs
[Nexus 4 General] zippyijk:
Can People please NOT post in here unless you are actually still in LL3 or if you are LL3 and you are posting to say you received shipping from this moment on.

It's very hard to know who is actually left waiting as LL3'ers from before are using here to post info that could be posted elsewhere.

PS don't mean to be b1tchy at you old LL3'ers but we want to keep this area for those really in limbo.

ZippyIJK - UK Play store - N4 16gb + bumper - ordered Nov 13th 08:26:16 GMT
[Nexus 4 General] Chinese281:
It was a great adventure with you guys. I officially received mine and I hope you all good luck and see you t the next nexus XD
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I'm starting to go through the stages of grief with this whole experience... I sold my primary Atrix HD, had to switch back to my buggy moto defy, I had decided to switch to tmobile 4G plan for my nexus 4 and my old contract with simple mobile expired today... so now I have no phone service whatsoever and Im trying to come to the acceptance that I probably wont see my nexus 4 order get fulfilled for another week.
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
So it looks like there are some Limbo 3's yet to be notified of shipping, and backordered Limbo 2's who never received the "shipping this week" notice who are still waiting as well. Any of you guys able to get a solid answer out of Google on when the next shipment is coming/what's going on?

And since it's looking bleak that we'll be receiving our phones within the 3 week deadline, are you guys going to be looking for extra compensation?
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Called googleplay again... this rep swears that the my credit card situation is just fine on their end and I should receive tracking by tomorrow and my phone by monday. I imagine this is the last time im going to call google or care about this until the nexus 4 shows up on my door step, I've spent too much energy on this and there is clearly more to life.

And while i would love some "Free Bumper" consolation.. Seeing how google operates and treats its customers Im not expecting or asking anything from those jerks.
[Nexus 4 General] dbolot1:
LL3 here, no shipping notification yet. Got a phone call from Google play this evening, a woman told me that she has my phone and was trying to charge my credit card but the charge did not go through, she told me to update my information on wallet. I went back to the wallet and realized that between the 13th and now my actual credit card was updated with a new expiration date. So I updated the card and called Google play to make sure that they can process the order. A csr was surprised that some one had called me because she thought that everything is supposed to be done via email. Then she said that she does not see anything wrong with the account and the oder will ship as promised this week. Basically I got the impression that I should have just asked my cat and would have gotten more useful information. Anyway, my credit card now shows a $1 pending charge by Google, so I guess the ball is rolling.

Point of this story - check your payment info to see if anything has changed between 13th and now.
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
I can't confirm this as my credit card doesn't update immediately and I use it to spend on small items often, but it looks like my limit dropped by $1.
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
Well I will kind of be leaving you since I will only be a limbo level 0.2 later on, well possibly.

Got my shipping email yesterday. Checked it all night using the TNT reference.

The number Google sent was indeed, as mentioned a reference number not a consignment number so make sure you select the reference number option when tracking.

It won't show anything until its been scanned at your local depo. Mine said in transit. Then it arrived at my local depo at just after 7 I called them right away to say I would just pick it up as I'm working today and thats easier.

They were very good and said it will be put aside for collection. Bring ID and it will be avail between 8-10 with my depo which is ideal. Its great to have the option of picking it up late at night as most people work past 6pm these days.

Anyway once I get it and give it the once over and all is good then I'll be out of LL3.

My bumper which I ordered separately but only 10mins apart from the phone on the 13th, is still pending.

What the hell is going on with these bumpers. How can they be in stock yet not being sent out.

I know its 3-5 working days delivery but it was ordered on the 13th, its showing in stock so why are the bumpers still not shipping out. I get no where with cs as we all know, they know nothing so its strange.

I refuse to use the nexus 4 without a case and back + front glass protection.

So all being well tonight I will be leaving you all. I wish all my fellow LL3ers the best in getting your N4 before Xmas and sooner rather than latter you have all made the waiting just the bit easier with some great banter so thank you all and good luck.

[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I got this same message however via email like the CSR told you. I found this especially peculiar because the 8gb version charges i ended up canceling the same day on the 13th showed up on the same credit card i used for this pending 16gb nexus 4.. But anyways i deleted the card and redid all the info and sent them a followback email comfirming i did this. Just to make sure I also called google play and also I felt like my cat had more sense about the situation than the CSR I talked too.. She told me she it was pending.. and I told her I had just updated the payment method and then she admitted she was looking at old information.. So I told her I realize you can't really help me with this I will just continue waiting for updates and hung up.
[Nexus 4 General] dbolot1:
Do you see a $1 authorization on your credit card from GOOGLE *MARKETPLACE?
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
I had the same issue with the credit card, updated it, called back to make sure everything was all good and it was. That was last night though and I got the pleasant surprise of waking up this morning to an email from Google saying my order was cancelled for security reasons.. Called back, Bryon said everything looked fine on his end. I'll be livid if they cancel it.
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
Finally, I've just received my N10 + N4 placed in a single order. I also have a bumper in that order but I'm happy that Google decided to ship it separately whenever it becomes available. The strange thing is, that I have not received any shipped emails, and the status in Play and Wallet accounts is still pending. This is the case with at least 3-4 other UK forum members, so let's hope that today you all waiting your multiple items orders will receive your toys :)

So I'm leaving limboland now, good luck to you all, it seems that Google is trying to keep their promise to ship the backordered items this week :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Nope still waiting. Im willing to bet that I will probably be the last on this forum to receive any positive news
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
I'm with you on that one man, don't think I could have worse luck with all of this. I updated my info as asked, called, they said it was all good. Then got a cancellation email this morning, called, said it was pending on their end. Called again today and spoke to the supervisor as I said. I'm just worried after all this they're going to say that it got cancelled and there is nothing I can do..
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
At this point everyone who is left seems to be a special case, I would call a few times if you had the time to just in case you got any mixed information.

Hoping anyone else out there still in Limbo can help provide us with some info.
[Nexus 4 General] zippyijk:
Right I'm out of LL3 my phone arrived tonight with no shipping mail received and still showing as pending in my play account.

My bumper was not with it, I'm presuming that will be sent later.

I'm still in limbo for my n10 though.

Good luck to the rest of you, I hope you get sorted soon.
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
Wow really? so you received nothing and it showed up? Here's hoping that might happen to the rest of us hahahaah
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
Did your CC get charged, and what was your location?
[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
Just received email confirmation with tracking for my bumper. Thank the lord. Hope you guys get your stuff, don't give up!
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
So I called for about the fifth time and the lady was semi helpful. Good news is, my dad checked his CC statement and the full charge of the device is listed. Note his card was the one I replaced the other one with, so now I'm assuming they got the update and have transfered the payment to his card, meaning I should get it shipped soon. Here's hoping. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] umaru:
What did the lady say? You're from Canada right?

I also received an email saying my cc was declined. I called visa last night, there was no problem. Called Google right after, the guy says he'll send this case to a specialist. I re-inputted my cc info on wallet and called Google again about an hour ago, to see if they can manually process the order. they transferred me to Google wallet. The CSR says there was nothing wrong with my cc. It never showed up as declined. He also told me that starting last night, he was getting a lot of calls about receiving 'cc declined' emails, but when he would check their accounts, he would not see any red flags saying it was declined...so he told me that he honestly doesn't know what's going on, and that the email might have been sent in error.

And from what he sees on my account, he says ups is probably just waiting to receive my device so that they can process it and formulate a tracking number...so he said just to expect shipping info by the end of the week if I got the email saying it'll ship this week.

Who would've thought ordering a phone online could be so difficult....
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
What the hell, man? I just want my phone. Is that so hard?
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
I've been talking to them all day pretty much. All said that it was fine on their end, which I didn't really buy and then I checked the CC statement and it was charged so I called again, lady said that if it shows up on the card then everything should be fine. I then received another email from a rep I was going back and forth with and it said they reviewed my account and can confirm that I successfully placed the order and it is now authorized and successfully charged, so I assume I'm just waiting on a UPS number.
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
The rep who emailed me said they were contacting the shipping provider (presumably UPS) to find out if they have the package, which means they sent out the phone if he's correct.

My CC hasn't been charged besides the $1, and Play/Wallet are still pending from the 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Thank you all and good luck ... Stay positive! Let's keep this open for the new group of Limbos. I don't think you guys will wait as long as we did.(original L3)
[Nexus 4 General] zippyijk:
Nope not a thing. Still haven't. Everything is still in pending on Google play too.

The money came back out of my account on the 27th but not a single word from Google.

I'm in Ireland...ordered from the UK Play store. There are about 6-7 people who ordered from the UK store who had the same as me, no email etc.

Good luck to you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
You guys waited 2 and a half weeks? Some phones seem to be saying 7 to 8 weeks for shipping now... Trust me, you guys are lucky to have gotten in first. ;) New purchasers might end up waiting much longer!
[Nexus 4 General] Sully6789:
I definitely think this is gonna be the case. I don't see it getting better anytime soon for any of us from here on out. I ordered a 16GB on the 27th, it said 1-2 weeks when I purchased it. By the time my order went through, and I received my confirmation email 3 minutes later, it said 6-7 weeks. Estimated shipping date: Jan 2nd.

W. T. F. :screwy:

Everyone says it worth it. To just stick it out, and hang in there. But I know me. I will be checking the order status everyday, multiple times a day, until I see a change and the anxiety and anticipation will only grow until it arrives. Yet, I will be here. Waiting. Enduring this self inflicted Limbo until its over.

I need to find a new hobby :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] cphancock1:
Le

Exactly forget the LL3s lets move on to new orders. Stop it hasnt been that long and most ll3s should have never been able to order anyway. They should have waited anyway
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
This is not true. Pretty much all of the LL3 peeps left including myself placed orders within the first 30mins of launch and received confirmation just to find that people who ordered up to hours after us received their phones while we we banished to limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Not true look at the official release/shipping thread numerous ppl that ordered on the 27th already got shipping confirmation.that pisses me off cuz all limbo3 should have a phone shipped first. I'm lucky I got mine today and hopefully the rest of the l3s can too
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Level 3 from the 13th in the UK. Not heard anything since it will ship this week email. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
I ordered 6 minutes after launch, wasn't originally in LL3, so I was supposed to receive my phone last week, then Google decided to bump me into backorder. According to the other thread, some of us who are remaining are already being skipped over in favour of new orders.
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
Indeed, but that's a whole other battle with Google. The point is, you guys might have your phone sooner than most. And there's the UK/Aus/Canada/US factor to key in also. Wave 2 people in the US are getting them, but how many are left in L3 from the US? We're not 100% sure about those numbers... The only people who could inform us are Google.

I do agree that their ordering process really needed to be FIFO and not RAND(*) though. But most orders from first wave seemed to be fulfilled, even if it was chaotic... The people who are still waiting are either ones that have a botched order or were forgotten... Wish I knew the percentage though.
[Nexus 4 General] ATnTdude:
People seem to not really understand FIFO from a business perspective. It's never 1:1 order time to point in line. It's by batch (often by day) and by where your order sheet ended up in the picking sheet pile. When it comes to shipping, it's often by location by well (by regional hub, not your actual place of residence). Throw in the fact that the site crashed hard, and they clearly had to reconstruct a lot of orders from server records (perhaps all of them), and there was probably a lot more order than you might think. It was not random. You just don't have all of the information to see the pattern.
