[Nexus 7 (2013) General] optimi:
I received my device yesterday and accepted the second OTA. So far no GPS (not extensively tested) or multi-touch issues. A tad of blacklight bleed on the top of the screen.

One thing I did notice though is there is a rattle coming from the device, as if something small is loose inside. I noticed it once I picked up the tablet once and have since been able to replicate it by lightly tapping around the "S" on the back. Anyone else notice this? It is seems like not a big deal, but I did just drop ~300$ on this thing; would appreciate it to not have something loose inside.

Edit: Looks like others have experienced the same:

Asked for a new one anyhow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Looks like best buy meant it when they said by 21st... Still hasn't shipped so likely tomorrow.

First world problems.... :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Did you give up trying to find one locally? I'm still debating about getting one locally (instore) or just ordering online.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
Anyone running TWN (The Weather Network)? It comes up in Phone mode instead of Tablet mode, which is annoying.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] timpayne:
Always has on the 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] smelenchuk:
It's here!!!

Testing to follow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
a quick call to best buy's customer service line says that the status of the product is on back order... and I called this past after noon . . .
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Kinda. Because of my ore-order i have about 25% faith that warehouse stock will ship to pre-order customers before general store inventory... Then again I know better. Will probably keep calling.

Lovely. Tempted to order off pay store and screw best buy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cmscritic:
Got mine at memory express
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
My order status shows the item as in stock. Hasn't shipped yet but it should today given that update.

I may try and get local stock too just to make sure I don't get a lemon (or) at least try and avoid lemon. Return the online order in store if the local stock is fine. We'll see if they even have any.

Yay.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
same !

10 minutes ago, the order would not load, however now, my card has been charged + it shows up as in stock. great great
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Shipped ground delivery today. No estimate on delivery date. And because it's Canada Post the tracking number doesn't work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
Same, once again
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Typical Canada Post. It will start working after you receive it.

Are you going to try to price protect it against the google playstore?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
I already price-matched it while it was in pre-order status. Saved around 12.09 + tax.

Btw, the tracking numbers should work (based on mine working)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Tracking info updated. Accepted in Mississauga. Expected delivery listed as tomorrow.

I am going to try and price match. Did you just call during pre-order? I may do that at work tomorrow. Did they give you a hard time at all?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Futureshop has finally shipped me the 32gb. Should have it soon!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
Yeah, I called and they gave me no trouble. He just had to verify it was the same item and was sold in CA dollars.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Awesome. Will call them this morning.

Item is listed as processed locally :beer:

Just ordered 16GB from BB. Will PM with Google Play store once I have it in my hands and verify it's a good version . With USB OTG, the only thing I need to worry about are the kids videos but they won't care too much about being lower quality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Well my wife's unit has 1 dead pixel mostly out of the way but no other apparent problems.

Mine on the other hand has 2... 1 of which is glaringly obvious on bright screens (ie anything other than black) and it's just left of the middle of the screen so it's extremely irritating. Will be returning that one so who knows when I'll get my toy. Sigh.

Doing settings -> factory reset is good enough to wipe all my data right? No residual left behind?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
That sucks.

Factory reset will wipe your data.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hashim71:
Wow, reading some of the stories on here I feel like I got really lucky. I got mine about 2 weeks back I think, I just randomly checked the stocks at the nearest best buys, and while I was on the road one of the Best Buy's in Mississauga at Heartland just happened to have some. So I got there at 8:57 just before they closed... and found out that the last two units had been sold but then I noticed they had an Open Box one so i decided to look at it and it was still sealed and everything. Got a great deal on it for 237 + Tax... Although I could have waited til I got back to Alberta and bought it there for even cheaper because of the tax difference. But I wont lie, I am glad I paid the extra 10$ now because I absolutely love this tablet. I got the JSS15J one 16GB. The screen is absolutely gorgeous, battery life is much better than I had expected with that screen and its an absolute pleasure to hold. Best tablet I have bought so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Man, I am one impatient person. I hate waiting for shipping. Canada Post is going to do the same thing they always do to me, say it is expected deliver today and then make me wait until next week.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
I actually had no problem with the shipping. Once it updated the first time it was giving me what seemed like real time updates.

Also... Wife said she barely noticed the pixel that was pissing me off so she swapped with me. To be fair I'm pretty picky about displays but still. Anyway all set up now. Just trying to figure out some battery and WiFi issues now.

Let me know how it goes when you get yours goofball.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
mine is in my mailbox to be picked up. I'll get it later tonight after dinner. I'm hoping perfect as my first N7 2012 was.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rpr69:
I ordered mine from the Play Store last Friday, got it yesterday. Unlocked, rooted and installed CM10.2 within hours... :) While on stock ROM, I had 3 random reboots, since installing CM, none.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
All good so far.

No dead/stuck pixels found using the dead pixel test, haven't seen any multitouch issues yet. Don't care about GPS much since I don't intend to use it. Build is JWR66N, might just reflash it with the JSS15Q image.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] obk88:
Best buy Canada on their website have 20 nexus 7 2013 32gb model avaliable as I type this out!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
just ordered mine from B&H. With bestbuy, the total comes down to 284 after taxes... it's a pre order will be shipped on 30 July.

waiting for a tracking number says.. I will get an email when it's shipped with tracking number.[/QUOTE]

Yeah this is why I didn't want to buy off bestbuy. I want to buy it as cheap as possible and with BH it costs 264$ (after shipping/duties). (compared to bestbuy which costs 289$ after taxes)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] notoriouspk:
my only concern ordering from B H would be... say if I have to exchange it for any reason then I gotta send it back to US...on the other hand ordering from bestbuy canada I can always walk in the store and get it done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Yeah this is not nice if something like this happens. I guess it's up to you, either buy it from canada or buy it from the US for cheap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] th3xeroeagle:
Finally bought it from Best Buy with the free samplers lol as I always end up having some kind of problem with my stuff and there's a BB 15 minute walk away from me! :) Can't wait woo.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
The Nexus 7 isn't selling as fast as I thought it would. Look at the pre-order stock that's left on the BestBuy.ca page. 4 hours ago it was at 90 and now there is still 17.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Well there's now 15. Don't forget that they made staples out of stock, there's future shop and some are probably ordering off B&H as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Staples never had stock to begin with. It was never available for ordering AFAIK.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
Just pre-ordered the 32 GB model from B&H to Alberta. I didn't have to pay any taxes on the order. The shipping options were: $9.60 for 2-6 days Purolator Ground, $28.51 for 2-4 days UPS Worldwide Expedited, $30.75 for 1-2 days UPS Worldwide Saver, $61.42 for 2-4 days FedEx Economy, and $76.40 for 1-2 days FedEx Priority.

I chose the UPS Worldwide Saver for a total of $299.75. I don't see any estimated date of when they get the stock on the site though, so I really do hope it is by July 31st!

Edit: I do expect to pay an extra ~$40 on duty charges for UPS.

Edit 2: I called customer service and switched to Purolator which B&H handles the duty charges for themselves. The total came to $304.16 including taxes and duties. $9.60 for the shipping charges + $25.56 for the duties and taxes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
UPS is going to ding you when you receive it. It's called collect on delivery and there is a brokerage charge for it. I doubt that there is no taxes for a $300 order. B&H offers customs clearance for your convenience and that's what will happen when you opt out of it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
You might be right on the duties. I have ordered things from UPS before and had to pay at the door. As for the custom clearance, there was never an option to opt out when I ordered through B&H. If it's opt out, then it should be by default. Unless of course, choosing UPS somehow opts me out without my approval.

Worst case scenario, I expect the duties to be around $30 + the 5% tax of $15. This brings the total up to $345 if that's the case. Well, **** me, that's a large additional amount.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
You could potentially save a lot more money with Purolator since B&H has an agreement with them that allows them to charge less for brokerage in advance. I chose Alberta and UPS delivery as a test and it did let me select their customs clearance option. It's ~$40 for UPS clearance so expect to pay that amount when it comes to your door.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
Did you do that on the mobile version of the website of the desktop version? I did it on the mobile version and maybe that's why I didn't see any option for it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Ahh I see. That makes a lot of sense. Yes I am on the desktop site.

On another note, BestBuy.ca is now out of stock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
When you choose the bh custom clearance method, you've already paid all the duties so you should have no problems when it arrive. That said, it's possible that you may have to pay something though I think the chances for so are low.

Pre-ordered from BB last night as well!

Although a little disappointed that there is no 32gb version available just yet.

Can't wait!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MaesterB:
Well, I'm going to walk into my local Staples on the 31st at 8am, and see if they have any stock of the 16GB.

Way I look at it, I have all my stuff on Dropbox or I might be able to stream through Plex, or listen to everything through Google Music.

And I have lots of external drives kicking around that I'm sure I can stream from a USB drive using an OTG cable.

Wish me luck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ponts:
As far as I have read up on ups worldwide saver on ups site it includes custom clearance to Canada all you will owe is gst.

http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shipping/cost/zones/customs_clearance.html
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
It's included for worldwide express saver, not worldwide saver, which would cost 47$ by judging from their website.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
That's what I did. I ended up calling customer service and switching it to Purolator. The total is now $304 including duties, taxes, and shipping charges. A much better price than UPS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dillinjer:
Just ordered a 16Gig from B&H, shipping was only $9.60 (I don't mind waiting) , Duties and VAT $33.27. Order processed through my card at about $287. Not sure if Purolator will charge me anything extra, kind of assume B&H took care of it all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Don't worry. You've basically prepaid for any fees. You will not be charged for anything extra.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] phazerorg:
Just pre-ordered mine from Future Shop. They're still showing 62 remaining now. I don't mind the extra $20 to be able to return it to a local store if I have any trouble... but the main reason I went with Future Shop is because I used my RBC Visa rewards points to get $275 worth of Future Shop e-gift cards to use for it... so all I'm paying is the remaining $14 :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Now it's only $35.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Thread updated. Both Best Buy and Futureshop have now run out of stock. These sites will have stock show up intermittently as people cancel their orders. Staples is scheduled to allow web ordering on their website beginning July 31st.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Just to clear some things up. There will NOT be a 16GB version of the Nexus 7 2nd Gen available for retail in Canada at launch. Only the 16GB model will be released. There is still no ETA for the 32GB model. If you're told otherwise then that is not true.

Your only option of purchasing the 32GB model is through B&H which is an American online store.

Yeah i'm starting to think this is the best route at the moment. I'm just going to wait til I try one out in hand first, and then place my order i guess. Wonder how back-ordered B&H will be? :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] p4rot:
Like other people are saying, i hope i wont have to pay anything extra ordering from B H .

Thats what i had to pay ( its a copy paste of the receipt) : Sub Total:$229,00

Shipping:$9,60

Sales Tax:$0,00

Landed Cost:$16,00

Total:$254,60

I live in quebec btw.

I say that because here in Quebec it's around 15% of taxes so 229×0.15= 34 dollars something and I don't see that on the B H receipt.

does anybody know if i will have to pay any additional custom charges if i'll order a nexus 7 at tigerdirect.com?

the product is shipped by ups worldwide an it costs 70$ for international shipment.

because i dont wanna get a surprise! thats why i ask you :laugh:

and i dont wanna wait until the nexus 7 is officially announced in Europe
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
This should come clear without any thinking , Ups = brokerage fees. Plus they're the masters in it! (you can pay more than 40$ considering you live in Europe) you can still try bh but maybe they'll use Ups to ship it to you. However you will see all the fees you'll have to pay prior ordering the nexus.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] whassp:
thanks for the fast answer!

i've already tried bh but they ask 44$ for the shipment and 80 additional $ for duties and taxes.

and they also ship with ups worldwide.

but the question i ask is if they still have a stock or if they are already all reserved by pre-order?

i think i'll try my luck tomorrow when the nexus is available.

None of the canadian stores seem to have a listing for the 32 gig model. Anyone see a listing for the 32 gig model?

If you're a first time nexus buyer, trust me, 16 gig ain't enough. Not making that mistake again.

And I mean retail stores, not ordering online.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Nope it doesn't seem to have a listing for the 16 gb indeed. I'm not a first time nexus buyer, I do have the first generation n7 and I was able to use it up to 7gb left so I will still go with a 16gb. All depends from your actual usage. Also if I'm missing some place, I still have that Otg cable that can help me. ;)

It's available online at Staples. They also claim that all but one stores in Toronto have them in stock, but call them first and ask - I've checked one 20 min ago and while they were perfectly happy to take pre-order they had none in stock (and not because they sold out, I've asked).

Of course, living in the city that rhymes with fun, shipping routes for this kind of thing somehow bypass us or we get the tail-end of any shipments. I call shenanigans.

Calgary Stock

Already sold out at the only Staples that said they had stock online in Calgary - and the other one I called said they weren't getting them until today, selling tomorrow.

I reserved in store for Future Shop - I, too, will zip over at lunch. I can't wait.

Good to hear Future Shop is getting them today. I have my pre-order in, but as of a few minutes ago it still says "In progress" and "Out of stock" even though the other day they said the expected date was today. If your store got them in today, hopefully that means the online pre-orders will be going out today too!

Local staples is getting it today, but supposedly not selling it until Wednesday. Best Buy doesn't have any yet, but they'll be selling them on Thursday.

Phone Future Shop, they said we have a couple of 16GB AND 32GB. :confused: So, ask to have a 32GB held for me, knowing full well that it SHOULDN'T exist. Sure enough, they didn't have the new models. Computer guy is "Yeah...I know nothing about this stuff". :rolleyes:

However, they're getting 10, and they'll either have them out tomorrow or Thursday. I put a hold on one (we'll see if they stick to that).

So...either I'll swing by Staples on my way to work tomorrow and pick one up first thing OR get one at Future Shop.

All your base are belong to us!:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Etyl:
Not true. I've asked at Staples yesterday - they said they already have them and they started selling them today. They didn't get many: in Toronto it was between 5 and 20 per store.

I've already got mine (at downtown Toronto Staples, 2h ago) and it was the last one they had in store.
