I pretty much consider the situation, in it's current state, as Google has stolen ~400$ from me on the promise of delivering a product. They've broken their agreement of not charging until it ships, they've broken their statement of saying it actually shipped, and they are having the worst communication possible. Were this a small mom and pop shop, **** would be going down legally. But since it's the almighty Google, wtf can we do? Throw rocks at the rhino, which does nothing. Makes me want to drive up to Mountain View, and camp outside their headquarters until we all get our damn phones. It's flat out insulting how little Google seems to care.

Quite a few "2-3 weekers" people got their phones shipped today and will be receiving them tomorrow. It appears 2-3 weekers who ordered roughly from 3pm PST to 5-something pm PST had UPS provide them valid tracking numbers today (12/5/2012).

A few "1-2 weekers" (one in Mountain View/Sunnyvale,CA) claimed to get their phones yesterday without any change in the YGoD? status. Those who did seem to have ordered 2 phones (instead of 1).

Just curious if we can bound the YGoD? people by ordering times. I might be one of the earliest at 12:00:35pm PST. I think I saw another guy get in at 11:59 PST. If we can, it should be pretty simple for Google to find out who is in logistic purgatory; after all, they sent out all bogus tracking numbers and those emails also contained the order time.

Wondering if anybody who ordered from 12pm~3pm PST actually got a valid UPS tracking number or already got their phones...
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Steve:
What we need is someone to go through the posts in this thread so far and record all the ordering times and see if there is any pattern. The concept of it being those who ordered between 12pm-3pm seems to be a pretty accurate estimate so far.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Here's hoping that tomorrow is a brighter day for all of us!
[Nexus 4 General] inseconds99:
What I think needs to happen is if we don't get our devices or at least real tracking info by Tuesday, we need to get this information to the media. We need a well written letter documenting the reported cases and linking this post. I also think we need to get our banks/credit card companies involved for the false charges.
[Nexus 4 General] dyslexicpenguin:
I think the cut off time is slightly before 3pm. I ordered at 2:18pm PST, and saw people who ordered around 2:45pm PST (if I remember correctly) getting their shipping emails later, but having actual legitimate tracking status. To think if I had FAILED to get my phone for another hour, I'd actually get it tomorrow, is ****ing ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] shahram0:
Technically, we could bring a class action against them. Unfortunately, they take an enormous amount of time that I'm sure none of us have and the hassle for being given lousy compensation is really not worth it. Additionally, under the Terms and Sales of purchase, Google limits their liability to the amount paid by you to Google. In the course of a class action, Google will not be responsible in Contract as it is stated in their Waiver and in the unlikely event that there is success in a class action, Google will not pay out more than the value paid by us for the phones. Thus, we will not be given any consequential damages (i.e., damages for our time wasted or business lost without the phone).

Now in all absolutely unlikely circumstances, if all things lined up for a proper class action suit, Google would simply settle for peanuts. The lawyer will be reimbursed heavily and the name plaintiff (whoever brings the suit) will likely make away with a decent payout while all others represented would make away with $5 through the settlement.
[Nexus 4 General] dyslexicpenguin:
I believe a fellow named Chronus has been working on that exact sort of thing for a few hours now. He was even going through the large shipping thread finding posts to use as references. Not sure if he was going for a local attack, or trying to go national, but either way he was taking the right approach. If the news stations get a hold of this, Google is going to work a lot faster to rectify our situations.
[Nexus 4 General] DiNoise:
I also noticed this pattern in the main thread,

United States	11/29/2012	3:53 P.M.	Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I have spoken to Google support 3 times. Been told different things every-time. First I was told the item shipped Nov. 30th. But the system didn't have the tracking info updated.

Spoke to a supervisor yesterday and today. All they could do is tell me the issue has been sent to a supervisor. I am going away on vacation Saturday. Have told them this since Tuesday. They do nothing and are no help.

I am really thinking of filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau and also the the FTC. They have broken all rules of their agreement to not charge before shipping. And also have simply violated rules of the FTC by misrepresenting the item being sold as shipped and charged for when it has in fact obviously not shipped or else people would have their device.

Frankly this is completely and udderly ridiculous. Amazon ships 500,000+ packages every single day from different warehouses and I never have anything lost other then once a year maybe.
