It is pretty bad I know. I went through the same thing. Had to make many calls to get my phone shipped and even then they shipped it out on the day many people already got their phones. and the worst part is that the supervisors act ignorant and tell you that it's first come first serve and refuse to listen to you when you tell them other people got their orders shipped first. i feel your pain. just hang in there. you still might get it sooner than expected. good luck !
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
Congrats ! at least now u know they didn't lose your phone and you know when to expect it!
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Ha ha, Bell doesn't even have plain old boring LTE in winnipeg yet :P and i doubt youll notice much of a difference. unless you have an unlimited LTE max plan with which you download movies on your phone with super high speeds. i will be using wifi mostly. but yes, it's always good to have a future proof phone.

Exactly ! I hope you get yours by tomorrow without any troubles. I'm sure your nexus 5 case and screen protectors feel lonely :P
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
haha I KNOW! I need some good video tutorial on how to apply the screen protector without bubbles! I always screw it up!
[Nexus 5 General] TyroneLT:
When is "end of day" for UPS? I'm just east of Toronto and mine is set to be delivered by the end of today.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Oh the trick is simple. Turn on the hot shower in your bathroom and then apply your screen protector in your bathroom itself. No annoying lint or dust particles. There are video tutorials of it too on YouTube . plenty of them
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
My White 32GB arrived today. Just charging it atm and deciding how much I should use it completely nekid like this. Hopefully stores have some accessories tomorrow when carriers are to start selling them.

Also it was ordered late at night Nov. 1st when it said 3-4 weeks. It arrived 6 days later so I'm very happy about that. :)
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
They say they usually deliver till 7pm and even later sometimes to residential areas.

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

There are plenty of good affordable options available online. I never buy accessories from stores . amazon mostly
[Nexus 5 General] custo:
Isn't Monday a holiday?
[Nexus 5 General] offwiththeface:
Mine has been in Richmond since this morning around 5 am but nothing has happened since
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Its not a stat holiday so the delivery business should continue as usual
[Nexus 5 General] nick323:
Remembrance Day- November 11, 2013 (Monday) - UPS will be closed in the provinces of British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and all Territories
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Yes and it will still be open in manitoba where I live. So they should deliver
[Nexus 5 General] radeon_x:
Well, my last update was still departing Spokane yesterday. Hopefully UPS comes through on tomorrow's delivery date... Otherwise it's going to be a really looong weekend.

If I had known my order was going to ship from the US, I would have just ordered on the US Play Store and shipped to my Blaine address. Would have had the phone days ago and paid less too!
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
Can be anywhere from 7am to 7pm
[Nexus 5 General] chug:
Same here. If both of our phones fell off the truck on their way to Richmond then at least we're in this together buddy.
[Nexus 5 General] radeon_x:
I'm imaging two Nexus 5 boxes sitting on the side if the I5 now... so sad... Good luck man

On another note, has anyone seen any Qi chargers for sale in or around the lower mainland. I can't find anything...
[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Droid:
I've decided to keel my ultra.

I have a 32gb white on hand looking to sell at cost. Anyone interested pm me I'll be in Mississauga area tomorrow. You have to pick up though
[Nexus 5 General] ericchu94:
Just got mine. The guy made me sign for it. He also knew what it was.

I am also around that area. It should be soon :)
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
Anyone try to change their sim card online for bell? Just curious how long it takes to activate the new one. hoping it's instant
[Nexus 5 General] BrandonPrice31:
This is BS.

The expected delivery is the 11th, however if you ask them if UPS picked it up, they say no.

Clearly our phones have not been picked up or scanned.
[Nexus 5 General] custo:
Should be instant to a few minutes.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
then I suggest we just continue on with our stuff and wait. either way, it's not coming before Monday. hopefully we will get it soon .
[Nexus 5 General] :
Just left Spokane, off to redmond i'm assuming then to richmond! :D
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
Google reps do not know jack ****, trust me! I called UPS and they actually told me exactly where it is
[Nexus 5 General] BrandonPrice31:
UPS told me this.....
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
Call again man, maybe you got a bad rep..I called twice to confirm lol
[Nexus 5 General] Jayowend:
Kinda funny to see all this drama and hype over a phone LOL, tempted me into joining it.

I'm a student and I ordered during class today haha.

Was refreshing at 10am PDT and then stopped checking just as it started selling at 11am PDT.

Checked back at 11:20am-ish and all of the models showed Sold out.

Thought I was too late and was frantically checking XDA forums for updates on whether they actually sold out or were pushing units out on a rolling basis, and turns it out was the latter.

At one point I had the 16GB and 32GB Black in shopping cart, but I accidentally removed them (or they just disappeared because of overwhelming site traffic glitching the system out..) and I was so mad haha.

But then I figured they were rolling out or refreshing stock every 5 minutes or so and checked back at 11:50am and ordered the 32GB Black.

Second batch, November 8th shipping, but hey it could have been worse..

Could've probably waited a few more weeks or until local retailers/Amazon stocks up, but mehh where's the fun in that LOL.

Anyway, I read through so many threads today I thought I wanted to do a summary thing too, but saw your thread first.

From what I gathered, here's the approximate timeline for Canadian orders:

11:00am (PDT/Pacific Time)

- First batch available (Ships by November 5th, 2013)

11:13am

- First batch with shipping date pushed (Ships by November 8th, 2013)

11:20am ~ 11:50am

- Peroidic availability every ~5 minutes or so

11:50am ~ 12:00pm

- Second batch available (Ships by November 8th, 2013)

12:00pm ~ 1:14pm

- Periodic availability

1:14pm

- Third batch available (Leaves warehouse/Ships by November 22nd, 2013; November 28th, 2013; or in 3-4 weeks)

Any time after that until now 9:00pm (PDT) October 31st. 2013, availability is just based on luck and periodic checking.

Other notes:

Google Play Store automatically detects your country, and there isn't a noticeable indication of being on US or CANADA store except if you check the the Devices Terms Of Sale, it will mention Canada or US.

You are not charged until the device has shipped. (shows Pending)

Although some users have reported they've been charged already. Could be just authorization / holding charge though..

I was told earlier this month by CSR that Google Play ships via UPS Standard with World Ease (no brokerage/customs/duty at doorstep) for Canadian orders, but given that the only shipping option stated 2~7 days business days, it could vary. Either way, you most likely won't need to pay any extra fees when it arrives.

boooyaaa I'm back....for my yearly Canada thread ritual. I missed you guys. 16gb black . Alberta. due to ship by the 8th.
[Nexus 5 General] nolook:
managed to get 1 for Nov 5 leaving warehouse...had anyone from Canada got a shipping notice already?

hope it's ups and not FedEx... planning on using on mobilicity while they are still around...
[Nexus 5 General] tmac15:
Ordered 2 16GB black versions at around 2:07pm, got confirmation email at 2:10pm saying that they should leave the warehouse by Nov 5th, 2013...I guess that falls in line with about 1-2business days.

Anyways pretty excited about this phone, looks like a huge upgrade in both quality and performance as compared to the Nexus 4, hopefully it doesn't have some of the nuances that the 4 did have.

Feels like last year all over again, and hopefully soon we get some tracking numbers! Glad to see my fellow Canadians on another Nexus thread!

I don't think any of the Canadian orders got a shipping confirmation yet. Anyone?
[Nexus 5 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Hi can i just confirm the LTE Bands for the canadian version? Wanna order ASAP so just wanna confirm. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
Its raining shipping emails in US..

Canadians want some love now..
[Nexus 5 General] morfy50:
If this is like the other Google device sales then shipping is US first, UK second and Canada third :(

Hope we get something soon but Google's not known for speedy deliveries.
[Nexus 5 General] richport29:
My order went from ships from warehouse in 3-4 weeks to 2-3.

Sooner the better :)
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
I managed to get two orders in, a White 16GB and 32GB, shipping Nov 8th.
[Nexus 5 General] anthonyly:
just now ahah? thats crazy
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
No yesterday around 4:30.
[Nexus 5 General] force70:
Mine went from leaving warehouse in 3 to 4 to 2 to 3 overnight.
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
Yeah same here. Maybe they decided to be conservative with the shipping estimates to prevent any disappointment. If they provided a short shipping interval and it was delayed then people would be upset.
[Nexus 5 General] haxxo:
so it went from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 and to overnight? cuz mine change to 2-3 this morning. hopefully ill get the overnight soon. when did u order?
[Nexus 5 General] Croptop:
I got my order in for a 32 GB (Black) around 1500hrs EST yesterday. That put me in the "Ships on 8 Nov" bucket. All-in-all, things went *slightly* smoother than last year's Nexus 4 launch but not much.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this phone in the next couple of weeks. I've even lined up a buyer for my 16 GB Nexus 4 already.

Time to start impatiently watching for the shipping notification.
[Nexus 5 General] donkeyhitman:
What I learned from last year's experience was that Google ain't going to surprise you and ship the phones earlier than originally promised. Try to ignore what you're seeing in the U.S. N5 threads as that will just raise false hopes. Until Google is late with their shipping promise, don't get your knickers in a twist. Just be patient and appreciate the fact that we got to order the phones in the first place. I know, easier said than done.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
So no Canadian got shipping notification? Maybe Monday we will
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
I think he means that the shipping time switched from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 weeks and that this change occurred overnight.
[Nexus 5 General] gloppe:
Beautiful! So to sum it up, if you are are late to the party and order late at night, you get your phone 6 days later.

If you order just 4h after launch, Google doesn't even deem it necessary to ship your package to UPS let alone start the actual shipping process, after 7 days.
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
It's here it's here!! Just after 7:00! Good luck to everyone else, hopefully they are workin OT tonight!
[Nexus 5 General] ST24085:
In for the luls. This is actually ridiculous. I basically conducted the same experiment as two other users:

Ordered a black 16 gb on Nov 1 noon MDT. Shipping changed from pending to Nov 26 just like everyone else. Got fed up and:

Ordered a 32 gb white last night (Nov 6) at around 7 pm MDT.

Received my shipping notification for the white 32 GB today at 3:30 pm MDT.

Located in Edmonton.
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
Yeah I called Google and asked about it. They have no clue what they are talking about. I am in the state of mind that I may not even get mine.
[Nexus 5 General] offwiththeface:
I know I thought of that too but we would get hit with duty and tax
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
So I ordered two phones right after one another, so not the same order. The 16gb one got here today but the 32gb only has the shipping label printed. I was hoping they were coming together but I guess not. At least I have one to play with until the 32gb one shows up.

BTW both tracking numbers got sent to me within minutes of each other.
[Nexus 5 General] chug:
Looks like my package made it to Richmond and I have a destination scan. Should be good to go for tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Guys were your ups box sealed?
[Nexus 5 General] thegregulator:
I had an arrival scan at 3:30 this morning in Richmond and just got an import scan. Despite my wishful thinking UPS would get off their asses and deliver my phone today, I will have to wait until tomorrow. Oh well, first world problems.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
Just a piece of tape covering the opening on mine. What I'm not really happy about was they left my package at my porch. Some guy who was delivering newspaper or putting ads on my doorstep might notice the box and walk away with it.

Good thing it wasn't stolen and I'm now a proud Nexus 5 owner :D
[Nexus 5 General] iamhacked:
Ordered on 2nd, payment was initially declined so updated payment info on the 4th, but my order is still pending ever since. The estimate says Dec 3rd, actually. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] donkeyhitman:
Not mine, but the important thing was that the LG box was sealed.
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
Just tape, Nexus box was sealed.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
I got an estimate of Dec. 3rd today as well. It seems that anyone who ordered when it said "4-5 weeks" ends up in the Dec. 3rd batch. One month to go on my Galaxy Nexus! I should count how many times something crashes due to a lack of RAM.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Yeah my nexus box was sealed only ups box wasn't ...seemed kind of weird.but it doesn't matter
[Nexus 5 General] iamhacked:
Hmm, when I look in "My Orders" in Google Play it still says declined too. Wonder if I would have any better luck if I reorder...
[Nexus 5 General] maln:
I'm a bit worried.. it's been two days and it still says my phone's in Hodgkins...
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
I'm debating whether I should try and reorder or just wait for Google to figure out where the phone is.
[Nexus 5 General] xpirozx:
Mine was left the same way... sitting on my front door step... They could of at least put it in the mailbox so it wouldve been out of sight.. but *Shrugs* ... Must be the UPS way... luckily it was only out there for about an hour....

Spent the last few hours setting it up and rooting backing up my old phone and moving stuff to new one... Im quite happy with the nexus so far..

Coming from a SGS 3 I thought Id have issues with the screen but I find it looks just as good if not better than my old...
[Nexus 5 General] force70:
Mines going back..nice device just not for me or I may see if I hook up a local trade for a white G2 I think thats more my speed.

Nice device just not for me.

sent from my S4, Note 3 or nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] gr3gg0:
Got mine around 3pm today, been toying with it since.

- stock launcher is awful - buttons are huge

- power button wiggles more than volume..meh not a big deal

- there is a rattle in the phone somewhere...kind of. it's not noticeable until you shake it

- hangouts is cumbersome, textra or w/e saved me.

biggest gripe:

- vibration feels very 'deep' coming from a Sammy Galaxy II, and it is quite loud when typing as well

love:

- big screen

- the texture of the back

- front facing camera is amazing

- light

- quick to boot

- easy to root
[Nexus 5 General] sith78:
Got mine around 1 p.m
[Nexus 5 General] JordanRulz:
If you take a look at the iFixit teardown of the N5, they have said that LG used less glue on the N5 battery than what other manufacturers use. The rattle could be your battery coming slightly loose.
[Nexus 5 General] BoltActionWaffle:
Ugh, I'm not sure if I should cancel my 32gb Black and order a 32gb Panda to see if I get a earlier "Leaves Warehouse" dates than December 3rd.... I ordered Nov 1 In the Morn..
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
Yeah, I am just going to cancel my order if it does not ship out next week. I am a tad annoyed that people who ordered on Monday and Tuesday have had theirs shipped already. I will just wait until this giant mess is over before I order again.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
despite what they say, you cant actually cancel your order except for within like half an hour after you placed the order.

even if its a long ways from shipping, google refuses to cancel it.
[Nexus 5 General] iamhacked:
Okay, so I called Google about why my order shows as declined and got this response. "After reviewing your account, I can confirm that the order has shipped." Is this what I think it means?
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
That's when I call my credit card company and have them deny the order.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
The two common rattles that I'm reading about are the camera (they all rattle a bit apparently) and the power button (depending on how much wiggle there is)

(I can only read about them... my 5 hasn't arrived yet... it's in town, at the couriers warehouse, but I'm not allowed to go get it.. I have to wait for them to bring it to me tomorrow... )
[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Droid:
Any local Toronto Mississauga folks want one tomorrow. 32gb white at cost

Sealed brand new.

Pm me
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
Well canceled my order. I am going to wait until 1. A new revision comes out 2. They fix this stock issue.

You should definitely try. I ordered a white 32gb on November 3. I was not expecting it until the end of the month and it was shipped the next day. ETA is tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] norbakr:
Iam in the same boat with you guys,I ordered my white 16 G at 11:00 pm on nov,2nd , and it said will live warehouse from4-5 weeks and today morning changed to dec,3rd !!! too long , will come from toronto and Iam living in Calgary, i hope thats not the real time and will arrive early:crying:
[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
Yeah see what's really bothered me on Galaxy Nexus is a complete breakdown in Android memory management. The OS used to know how to clear enough memory to make any foreground app usable. Now it just seems to aggressively close very recently used apps because something I used four hours ago had a memory leak.
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
Well Google told me that they're treating my phone as lost and that they'll have to do a trace on it with UPS. Not sure what UPS can do since the tracking shows they haven't even received the phone yet. On the brighter side if it does ship today I'll get free shipping.
[Nexus 5 General] Dizzi800:
It's on the truck! :D

Here in Halifax, NS. Anyone else in the same situation?
[Nexus 5 General] Grondinm:
Lucky you. When did you order?
[Nexus 5 General] Dizzi800:
13 minutes after the release. White, 32GB. I wish there were more shipping options but I was only given 2-7 business day :(
[Nexus 5 General] TyroneLT:
Finally got mine last night. A word of warning. Make sure somebody is home when UPS arrives. My mother was home and by the time she got to the door after the doorbell rang the UPS truck was leaving and my Nexus was lodged in the screen door!
[Nexus 5 General] bmilleker:
Received my white 16gb N5 yesterday. I ordered on the first day rather quickly when they became available. Original ship date was November 8th.

There are a few dead pixels on the screen. Very hard to notice without running a pixel test. I phoned Google last night, had a real person on the line in 2 minutes, and had an RMA go through in about 3 more. I didn't wait on the line at all. The service was better than I have received from any company. I should have a new phone coming out to me while I use the current N5 I have.

Onto the N5.. I am not 100% happy with how much plastic is on the phone. I like the build materials of the N4 more. The N5 feels light and like its going to slip out of my hand. With that being said, there is no way I could go back to an N4. The speed is just unbelievable, camera is miles above the N4, LTE, and the amazing screen.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
I'm perfectly happy with my display on mine. After running Display Tester, I don't see any dead pixels and they light bleed doesn't bother me as much as my Nexus 4.

This phone is beast! :D
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
My N5 is out for delivery in Calgary, so I'm very anxious to get home. Coming from the N4 with only HSPA+, will LTE kick in automatically once I put my microSIM into my N5? Or do I have to enable it through Rogers somehow?

Glad most of us are receiving our new phones and are more or less satisfied!
[Nexus 5 General] Leegalaxy:
You'll need an LTE enabled Sim. Then just make sure your plan has LTE and you're good to go.
[Nexus 5 General] Caddish:
Does anyone know if the nexus 5 from Bell is sim-locked to bell and if so can I unlock it. I'd like to sell it to pay for my videotron termination fee.

Also does anyone know if Bell and the other carrier plan to offer the nexus 5 32GB ?
