Pre-order for 16GB available on Best Buy (Canada): http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/id/10261231.aspx?fullsite=true&cmp=fb
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks OrangeFever! I've updated the original post.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] slim94:
Interesting that there's no mention of the 32GB anywhere...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
There's a chance it may not be coming to Canada until a week or two after. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] slim94:
AHh, so i guess create as much a stir as you can and sell tons of 16GB then you get people that want 32GB suckered in weeks later.

Smart.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] p4rot:
I wonder if the canadian play store will sell the 16 gb the same price, more expensive or cheaper than the best buy price.

I tried to pre order one to check the price and it was 289$, well 251$ plus the taxes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
That price on best buy o.O. I think I would be better to buy it off b&h. (264$ with shipping to Quebec.)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] th3xeroeagle:
Even with duties and brokerage?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
My order for the 32 GB one just got shipped by B&H.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Macmee:
The 32GB will be out before you leave in a few months for sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] peacey8:
Is that just pure conjecture or do you have any reliable sources to back up that claim?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Macmee:
staples told me that
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sansp00:
NCIX Canada is taking orders for the new N7 32gb. Shipping date for the 5th of August.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KARNAG3:
Just ordered it from NCIX.ca (32Gb version). I bought my N7 16Gb yesterday...I hope I wont be one day without a tablet. If I'm lucky I will receive it before the 14 days trial from Futureshop! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sansp00:

Awesome device btw
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lizaSB:
Picked one up at my local best buy here in Vancouver today. I was shocked when they came back and told me that someone had already returned a perfectly good condition N7 (didn't even unwrap the shrink wrap from the accessories!) and could get an open box discount because someone didn't want it. All the sales people were drooling over it, too! Guess they haven't even gotten an opportunity to play with a demo unit yet

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
Possibly if they ship it from Toronto.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aa_chow:
Slight correction. Staples is $249, whereas Best buy and Future shop is $249.99. Staples is $1 cheaper.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:

Returned my 16GB Nexus after 2 days as I simply didn't have a need for it. Although I am intrigued by other tablets coming later this year such as the Kindle Fire HD 2 and Surface RT 2 possibly powered by Snapdragon 800. I also have android emulator on my PC to run android apps and games.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Curious about the Kindle Fire HD 8.9". That looks like a beast, hardware wise. I have no experience with kindle though, I'll have to research on how easy it is to root/install custom rom's or what not. It does cost a bit more though, so something else I need to consider.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Matrix_19:
NCIX is one of the best seller :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Except for doing returns for defective pixels. Takes 5 for them to exchange it, and restocking fee for return. Unlike futureshop/best buy/staples which will allow for exchanges with even one dead pixel, and no restocking fee within 14 days.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Yes NCIX is my favorite online seller for PC parts.

I'm still waiting for the 32gb to be available locally at a major retailer. I'm expecting dead pixels so I want to be able to return it repeatedly until I get a perfect display.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
I picked mine up at the Fredericton Futureshop on Thursday. They just got a batch in as I came in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gigabitex2:
Got mine at staples yesterday..first impressions are good. I'm really liking the size and feel of it. No build issues noticed yet. Staples extended 2yr warranty only allows an in store credit for amount of the device, not an upgrade to a current model but I'll live with that. Now we need chromecast!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jeffrey1027:
Great device coming from a blackberry playbook.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] talha746:
My order from NCIX is still processing, anybody else? Been over 2 days. Its at the credit card verification stage
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] moonlight09:
maybe because it is a weekend? idk :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] silverball.slayer:
Lots in stock here in Regina. Staples, Best Buy and Future Shop all have inventory (16gb).

For the time being I am using my old hipstreet N7 regular case which the new N7 does fit into. It doesn't have the right cutouts for camera or speakers, but it's better than nothing. I hope hipstreet releases a slim case like they did for the original because it was pretty good.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Hey people who has gotten their orders from B&H shipped, does your purolator tracking number works? It's been 3 days now and it still hasn't updated from my side? :confused: (I'm still new with purolator)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] talha746:
When ordering other things online it usually processes over the weekend lol, well who knows, it is a long weekend :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jathusanT:
I can confirm that my tracking number is working. Give it a few more days, it is the weekend after all. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dillinjer:
Yeah I'm in the same boat, I called purolator and they said the order can't be tracked until it passes customs, which will be Tuesday because of the long weekend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
There's an holiday on monday? o.O

EDIT: Looks like there's a civil holiday in august I didn't realise because they don't even recognize it in QC.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] talha746:
So it looks like I spoke too soon, the money has finally been taken out of the credit card and that stage is complete but still another order processing stage and shipping stage to go. Hopefully doesn't take too long.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jeffrey1027:
It'll be worth the wait ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] talha746:
aha yeah looking forward to it :cool: got a nice deal for canada too, $260 with tax and everything, cheapest i could find (others are around $284)

Same here, although I'm dissapointed there's no HDMI out, this was one of my favorite features of the Playbook.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Anyone have any information when Canadian retailers will have the 32GB in stock? Bestbuy, staples, and futureshop don't have any pre-order information.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jathusanT:
Unfortunately, information on the availability of the 32 GB model isn't available from those retailers yet. In Canada, the only options you have for the 32 GB model are NCIX, Newegg, Memory Express or B&H (US) as far as I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] matthewr87:
Staples stores in London still have a bunch in stock. Picked mine up yesterday.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Thanks for the info. I'd prefer to buy in-store as I'm expecting a few returns for dead pixels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] watership:
I had the same problem.. but it eventually completed, except for shipping. It sat there for a few days, and no shipping yet.

I called them just now, and they're trying to tell me it's back ordered. I explained "I ordered it Friday morning. It was "IN-STOCK". I wouldn't have ordered it at all if it as back ordered." And they fed me some line about it might be a delay in the processing and it was actually back ordered at the time. Great. :eek:

Did you get a notification or shipping yet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jonhy25:
I'm in the same situation as you... I ordered it Friday morning and still waiting... :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ubltech:
Hello.

Same situation, I ordered August 02 and the statut of the order is still (Order Processed ) no shipping yet.

I contact the NCIX customers services and receive this reply :

"This item is currently back ordered as listed on our website. We are constantly refreshing our stock for this item. Once available, we will have your order shipped out. "

No informations, no details about the shipping date. It's frustrating!

Very dissapointed , it's my first order and probably my last with this store ! :(

******************

:):):):):):)

GOOD NEWS !

I received this e-mail today from NCIX : August 07, 2013 17:36 Fully Shipped

Your order was fully shipped. You will be receiving an e-mail with a tracking number from us soon.:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dr Zoidberg:
Every time I order a Nexus product, I do so in good faith when the website shows "in stock", only to find out days later that it's back ordered. Yes, the last time was a Nexus 4 - which turned out to be back ordered for 3 weeks.

When I ordered from NCIX, it said "in stock". Alas, like most people, my order is stalled. The term "in stock" must mean something different to them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Thread updated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] watership:
Yes, I've used NCIX before and they've been good, but if this turns out to be a ploy to generate pre-orders, and they did not have enough stock...I'll not be ordering from them again. This is what crappy small online retailers do. The order support person I spoke to made it seem that I knew it was back ordered, which frustrates the situation, it was clearly in stock. They have a warning message if the device is even LOW on stock. So that was bull****.

Just so you guys know, back-ordering can takes many weeks. So it's possible that if it doesn't ship soon, you'll be able to find it in Best Buy and Staples before you get it from NCIX. Very disappointing. :(

Dear All,

I'm waiting for Aug 13 to place order on Google Playstore. I hope NCIX has it available when Google starts taking orders so everyone that ordered from NCIX can get them in ASAP. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
I am doubting that article in terms of the pricing. It's not $229 in Canada for the 16GB as it is now at any retailer unless they are charging a $20 premium for it? I'm happy to be wrong and would be ordering a 32GB as soon as it comes into stock locally at BB/FS/Staples.:D

Or everyone can cancel their NCIX orders to get it from Google. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jathusanT:
Mine arrived yesterday from B&H. No dead pixels or any sort of issue! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tangentm:
In the same boat, If they were monkeying with inventory I'll be really disappointed, been ordering from NCIX for years and would be the first time they have let me down. I checked the "stock" every now and again after ordering and it was bouncing up and down as if someone was monkeying with it to attract orders but we'll see. For now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as orders placed on long weekends tend to take an extra day to be shipped.

Edit: Update-> just got my shipping notice looks like they came through as always. Now hope it doesn't have the wonky touch screen like others are reporting. :)

You guys should check out the closest Memory Express. I just picked up my 32GB model at the one in Richmond on Monday.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] oldtimer42:
Well... Memory Express went from 4 stars to 1 today. I have been a loyal customer of theirs since they were in a small 10 foot wide store near Chinook Mall in Calgary. Over 20 years ago....

Their customer service has always been excellent and the support amazing.

I checked online inventory which showed stock of the 32 gig unit and purchased ordered it for local pickup. Got in my car to receive an email on the way there that it was out of stock and would I like to still order one with a 2 week wait.

I didnt order one... I purchased one and they broke their commitment to deliver it to me.

I turned the car around and went home to calm down as this was a bush league completely frustrating mickey mouse situation by a formerly reputable company and store.

I spoke with the manager who apologised and said the point of sales software doesn't sync with the web inventory often enough. WOW ... Why offer an inventory check online if it is not accurate. "He would try to find me one"

Go elsewhere... They cant be trusted any more.

They have lost a 20+ year customer who has spec'd many PCs, built many using them as a supplier and steered a huge amount of business to them.

Good luck with your search for your new tablet.

Be Wary of NCXI

My good Canadian friends,

I don't mean to say anything bad about NCIX, they are excellent for purchasing computers and whatnot but when it comes to simple things such as a tablet I HIGHLY recommend you avoid them. Their return policy has a 15% stocking fee and the only way to get rid of that fee is if THEY feel that the device is faulty. if YOU feel there is too much back light bleed or that the build quality isn't up to date but THEY feel it is. You will pay a 15% fee if you want to return or replace.

Im sticking with future shop at the moment. Better policy...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] millicent:
I received yesterday my new n732 from bh. The device is just amazing, everything's great, especially display..

Otherwise, otg doesn't seem to work, sound is not in the same league as my HTC one, but still OK.

However, big dilemma : bought this for my wife mostly as an upgrade from her hp tp, and anyways she was using my ipad2 most of the times. I am really considering giving her the much bulkier and heavier ipad.. would that make me a bad person?.. ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Hmm, now I face a dilemma. Should I order from the USA Play Store or Amazon.com and ship to my cousin who is coming to Canada on Aug 20th or wait to see if the Canadian Play Store will indeed start selling it on Aug 13?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KARNAG3:
Hi everyone! :laugh: I received my Nexus 7 32Gb yesterday after ordering it last friday from NCIX.ca. It was FAST! I checked for dead pixel and problem such as NFC not working and everything is really good! Plus, compared to my purchase of the Nexus 7 16Gb at Futureshop, it cost only 20$ more (tx included) to get 16 more Gb! I can say now that I am complete!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tangentm:
Is the input wonkey at all? Registering multiple key presses or phantom keypresses? And have you applied the latest update?

Should be getting mine from NCIX today, should have had it shipped to the office it's gonna kill me all day.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
I'm waiting for Canadian Play Store. Just in case there's anything wrong with the initial units...

Thing is, we don't know if the Play Store will have the 32GB available immediately...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Looks like one of the futureshops in Ottawa got 3 of the 32gb units this morning. Have one on hold. Will let you know later tonight whether it worked out!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] caspik:
the 32 gb version is not listed on futureshop website. how did you find out about availability?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Futureshop deliveries in Ottawa seem to be Tuesday and Thursday. I've just been calling incessantly.

I believe Best Buy is Wed/Fri - the only best buy near me didn't have any in today, but the lady suggested calling tomorrow.

Are you sure OTG isn't working? This is a major feature with this and other tablets and it should be working. Please report results.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
So turns out my inner skeptic was right. I didn't have to wait to get to the store! No 32's in stock. Most of the salespeople I've spoken to with respect to stock levels really have no idea what they're doing when it comes to this device (to the point where I'm sure most of them don't even know what the new nexus 7 is).

My issue with using the website for stock levels is that my local stores got stock several days before the website showed the 16gb model.

Oh well, the hunt continues!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
That's good to know. Would suck if you ended up with one that had a defect though, since getting a replacement would probably not happen right away. Hard to be teased by such a device!

Which futureshop store is local to you?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tara1:
32G gen2 Ottawa

Which FS?

I called the Gloucester, Bank south, and Merivale locations. None have it. And yes, as others have stated, they hardly know what you're talking about when you call.

The Merivale location initially said they had one -- until we clarified they were mixing it up with a Gen1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
My recommendation (and what I'll be doing from now on) for people calling stores, is get them to look it up by model number (2b32). They're just scanning their system for nexus 7 32gb and going "yep we have it", even when you ask them to verify it's the new model.

Using the model number should bring them to the correct item. But who knows.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Was Merivale. Asked her to verify several times it was the new one and she said yes, until she ended up calling back 45 to an hour later sayign she made a mistake.

I've also tried Barrhaven, and Kanata, as well as the Merivale BestBuy. My phone is getting tired :P
