Guys keep in mind that your shipping time will vary depending on where you live, in which province, what colour you ordered, etc.

It's not just on a first-come-first-serve basis since they most likely have to group a batch of shipments together, send it across the border so UPS ground can handle it in Canada, to a UPS hub closest to your location (probably in a major city), and then distribute it to individual UPS routes from there.

From what I've read, they're already shipping many of the SHIP BY 2-3 weeks right now, so they're already ahead of the game. There's absolutely no reason to complain unless you don't receive it after 2~7 business days, or at the very latest if it hasn't started shipping by the date which your order receipt said it would ship by.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
It actually shows the charge, not just reserving the funds. Considering my order went through 1-Nov-2013 3:37 EDT PM for a 32GB black Nexus 5, I am hoping I will get a shipping confirmation tomorrow or really soon.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
When I ordered it, my brother told me it would ship by the 5th. I had him order me one because I was not near a computer. It wasn't until later that I found it would would be STARTED shipping by the 5th. All the rumors I had seen were saying it would be coming from a Canadian warehouse also, which would have made shipping very fast. Even coming from the US, it was still likely it would arrive before the 9th. Most people who ordered early in Alberta ARE getting theirs before the 9th (most will get it on the 7th). I always figured I could cancel the order if it was not shipped out soon enough.

[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
ordered it 3 minutes before you did and still didn't receive my 16gb white either. maybe we should order it in the end next time :D since everyone after us got theirs :P
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
order both next time.

you can always cancel the order that does not ship first.
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
They are shipping left and right, I had 2 orders and one was supposed to ship nov 8th but it shipped on Friday but the one for Nov 5th shipment still didn't ship and showing preorder ( same white color) , why did they ship the second order which was placed after is the question, I am not complaining since they were supposed to start shipping Nov 5th and 8th but it should be first come first serve so if people ordered before me then they deserve to get it before.. common sense..
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
yes i know, there's no reason for me to complain if they ship it by 5th but it's just human nature. you spend 2 hours refreshing google chrome on your tablet's browser every 3 minutes just so you can order one before it gets sold out and you sold your old phone already to get money for this one and dont have any phone and really really want this phone bad and you manage to order it in first 7 minutes before it gets sold out and are proud of your accomplishment and that your hard work paid off in getting you one of the first orders hoping you'll be one of the first people to get this phone and you wait for 3 days and watch every person who ordered 4-5 or even 25 hours after you get theirs shipped , to be received on wednesday or even before that. just human nature.
[Nexus 5 General] Dizzi800:
My 32GB white just shipped. Ordered at around 13 minutes after it went on sale :D

Oddly enough, my UPS page says that they received the shipping notification the the fourth... But it's the THIRD... Hmmm
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
There is no logic or order to how they are shipping.

Its definitely not FIFO (fist in first out)

Its not by area

Its not by phone model

And its not a combination of the 3.

Many people who ordered early black 32gb in edmoton got their notice in the first batch. My brother didnt despite him ordering 30 seconds after the sale started.

I ordered a 32gb white, 19 minutes after sale started. And the email has not even come yet, despite many people with the same device who ordered long after me who have already received the email.

People keep trying to find patterns, but there are no patterns.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

That is because UPS doesnt work on sunday, so they wont start "their part" until tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] honeybunchie:
My shipping status says "Ships in 2-3 weeks" but I paid for Shipping(2-7 business days): $16.99.

I just received an email that says my order has been shipped, so is it coming in 2-3 weeks or 2-7 business days? :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
2-7 business days.
[Nexus 5 General] 850RPM:
hurray,

my phone has been shipped;

initial order was shipping in 2-3 weeks, but shipped after 3 days; way to go; ups tracking show delivery Wednesday
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
If your order has been shipped, you're in the final wait. It's entirely in the hands of UPS now.

Consider yourself fortunate since there are still people waiting for shipping who received an estimate of Nov 5.

Mine is en route ! 32 gig white ordered at 11:05!

Woot woot! Hope I will get it this week!
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
I think Google queues up the orders based on karma. The more someone wants it, the more delayed it will be. People who are relaxed and not paying attention because they are expecting to have to wait a month, get it much faster than normal.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
My guess on the order would be how fast the credit card company completes the order. The sooner they get paid, the sooner they can process it.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
i completely agree with you seeing that i dont have mine yet even when ordering at 11:07
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
lol, not in 2014. Credit card authorization is practically instant for all credit card providers. That is why when you buy something at the store you dont have to stand around for half an hour for the purchase to complete.
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
I'm sorry, it is weird and completely unexpected that they would jump. Hopefully for you it is just clerical and yours is on its way as well!
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
That's different for online though. With so many various companies, there are times the processing can take its sweet time. Especially if your credit card is being used with that vendor the first time.
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
Here's a "First World Problem" for ya:

I ordered mine when it said 2-3 weeks on purpose knowing I am leaving for vacation this coming Saturday for a week. I have since received my shipping notice WAY ahead of schedule! Here's to hoping that my shiny new device gets here before I leave for my cruise.

ON ANOTHER NOTE : Where are Canadians ordering their cases from??? I have checked out the accessories sub-forum and all of those companies offer ridiculous shipping to Canada! Any local suppliers ???
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
Charging your credit doesn't take more time, they issue an authorization for the order amount and they hold it, then the money is held in the creditcard by Google, they can charge you anytime within seconds , Visa doesn't have the option to show what is an actual charge and what is an authorization, as far as I know Mastercard has this option so you can see it online using your bank account

For example I called TD and they said Google has charged me already but I know that CS reps will tell you any information without knowing if its true or no..

eBay for spigen neo hybrid is $30 including shipping. Spigen also has a amazon.ca if you want the 3 screen protectors(cheaper on amazon.ca than ebay!)

[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
Awesome thank you!!
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
I actually use TD also and I have had things arrive before the charges sshow up or even count against my credit limit. TD is actually the worst here in Canada for online transactions in my opinion. When I use my US Bank Visa, charges and transactions are instantanious for the most part. When I talked to TD Visa about it, they said it's just the way their system is.
[Nexus 5 General] Dizzi800:
I'm waiting for another paycheque to get any protection (Scary thought! ha ha ha)

but spigen has a canadian branch, and they sell glass screen protectors that seem to work pretty damned well.
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
I have actually called TD just to see what they will say, I have 2 orders..one already shipped and the other one is pending, they said that the one that shipped (based on the amount) is an actual charge but the one that is pending is still an auth, on Friday I've called them and they said both were charges lol so I dunno which one is right but their CS is crap..I have to agree with you that they are the WORST :)
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
As of 2 weeks ago I would be inclined to agree with you. That is, until I pull my 5 month old Galaxy S4 our of my pocket to fin the LCD cracked!
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
There are so many factors involved in ecommerce and fulfillment that speculation regarding how the orders are being processed is pointless. If we're told our order will be shipped by a given date, then that is all we're entitled to.

Last year my Nexus 4 order became backordered. Because the order was not fulfilled in the time that was originally specified, I requested credit for the shipping cost. That's about the best you can expect to get.

[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
A good example from my experience is Domino's here in Canada. I can order from them and I don't see the charge or impact on my balance for days. It's a good thing I keep track of it. I have also ordered stuff from Amazon.com and had it arrive before I even saw it appear on my card and impact my balance but yet Amazon sends me invoices that say paid before it even ships. :p I don't get what the issue is with TD but I like things to be current and there isn't any excuse that I have heard that is reasonable as to why it isn't. Hopefully you get your Nexus 5's soon!
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
Hahaha be careful!! As i previously said, I have had some BAD luck with devices lately ( Galaxy s4 LCD cracked in my pocket ) with no case. I plan on getting the heaviest case that I possible can for my N5!
[Nexus 5 General] Djkilljoy:
Looks like my order was charged to my card as well but my order status says 'Pending' while it says 'Pre-ordered' for the N5. I also have a N7 on the order as well...
[Nexus 5 General] anthonyly:
well mine was suppose to get shipped by november 8th! But it just got shipped!

32gb white
[Nexus 5 General] Tangentm:
If this were true then mine would be shipping next year. My Galaxy S (i900M) is crying for a high score in S.M.T.H.

N5 will be here Wednesday...as long as UPS doesn't drop the ball as they have been known to do where I live.

Ordered Nov 1 8pm 3-4 weeks deliery

It has been a fun with Google. Never expected to get shipping information that fast, however, on the email itself still says 2-3 weeks delivery. Nothing amuses me anymore. Last year, in the hype of selling N4, I cancelled my orders which I put in the first day (mind you I had two months to wait) and put orders for a few units. One of them "caught" and Google sent me shipping info within an hour. I am wondering what would happen now. They charged me already and the email says "shipped", we will see.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
I would love to get wind but they have no coverage here in Winnipeg. I'm sure there are many people here who would love to get their cheap unlimited plans

And its kinda heartbreaking to see everyone getting their orders shipped ha ha. Should've waited an hour before ordering mine seeing that everyone who ordered after me got theirs shipped.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
For Canada, I am on Rogers. My plan is unlimited anytime calling anywhere in Canada and the U.S., call display, call waiting, voice mail, unlimited texting with picture and video messaging in Canada and the U.S., no roaming charges anywhere in Canada, and 10GB of data for $70 including taxes. I had to fight with Rogers Office of the President for that plan though as they know I can easily just roam on to them with my T-Mobile plan and use my unlimited data all I want on their network and not have to pay them a dime.
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
Yeah, there's a lot of people who were late ordering, got the 2-3 week shipping notice and have got emails saying that its already been shipped.

Anyone find a power bank they can recommend? I'm debating on a high capacity no name or a medium capacity name brand. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] Chromium:
Nice. I was previously on a telus corporate plan as well.

$20 for unlimited texting, 200 minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends. It recently ended so I've now switched to rogers prepaid 1 year plan. Its $85 upfront for the whole year and you get unlimited texting, 100 minutes for the year. I don't call much so its an amazing deal.

Yeah winds pricing looks great and very tempting, but here in Toronto (Richmond hill specifically) their coverage is said to be crap. Anyone have any actual experience with them in the GTA?

They call it HST now (the two rolled in to one) so you have to pay more taxes on things that used to be PST exampt, like milk, diapers, and other necessities.

I am a programmer and have implemented credit card processing for a number of web applications and it is practically instant.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
Depending on your carrier, companies like WIND, Telus, and Rogers/Fido are also taking pre-orders for the Nexus 5. Rogers/Fido are only starting with the 16GB versions for now and you can preorder them through their sites if you are logged in to their respective account managers. From what I was told by Rogers, the 32GB models will arrive a couple of weeks later.

You need to pay TD/Canada Trust a visit then.

Nice! I am usually in the greater D.C. area or in northern VA and south WV areas.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
if you ordered two devices, they probably shipped together, therefore only one tracking number. even if you paid the full shipping fee times two, they will ship them together to save money if possible.

personally, i have found TD support to be the best of all banks. charges do take a long time to show up to your online statement, but the support reps can see everything instantly.

the reason TD VISA makes charges take a few days to show up is so that they can mess with the order so they can charge you overdraft fees and such. ALWAYS if i make a payment, then 2 days later buy something, the purchase ALWAYS shows up and is processed before the payment if it will go over the limit so they can charge me a fee. Always. I do my payments by transferring from one bank account to my VISA, and the amount shows up instantly in the "available credit". They are required to process them in the order they actually happen in, but they figure most people wont call in to have it fixed. I have had to call soooo many times. but they always fix it. its not the support reps that are doing this shady practice, it is the company. sometimes its even almost a week they will delay a payment so they can charge a fee.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
I know what that's like. I pay my balance off every month in full and they did that to me once with a charge and then tried to charge me $25 for going over my limit. I threatened to take my accounts and credit else where and they quickly waived the charge and apologized.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
UPS has been known to do that everywhere. I despise UPS. They have the worst reliability, worst customer service, worst fees. I avoid them wherever possible.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I dont have to do any threats to get it fixed, they just look at the time of transaction and fix it. But its super annoying I have to call in all the time. I keep my card close to my limit so when it gets stolen they cant spend very much. My card has been copied 3 times in the last 5 years. damn gas pumps!
[Nexus 5 General] bonenza:
alex00725, we are in the same boat. We keep in touch.
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
I've only had that happen once and it was at a GameStop/EB Games here in Toronto at Shoppers World Danforth. TD didn't even tell me. A couple of weeks later, i got a letter saying my card had been suspected of being copied and was cancelled. I had to call them to get a replacement. They have some ridiculous ways of doing things. I would have bene furious if I had needed to use my curd during that time.

Can someone clarify what the LTE bands situation is for "Canadian N5's"? I'm on Fido (Rogers). I've read in comments on some reviews that there is no 2600 band support yet Rogers/Fido have announced the N5. I'd be surprised that Rogers is introducing a device now that doesn't have 2600 support? It's all academic to me anyway, whilst I'm often on LTE, my speeds are nowhere near 2600 levels, just curious.

In Richmond Hill, when I was there, I got limited reception, but I was also using a Nexus 4 which I've heard has a bad antenna/poor reception compared to other phones.

Otherwise, I get full bars with my phone and have no issues streaming Netflix videos. $40/month unlimited data is awesome. There will be frustrations, but you'll save a lot of money and never worry about how you're using your phone again. I also support Wind, as we need much more competitive prices in Canada... purchasing sim cards in other countries on vacation has showed me exactly how screwed we get by Rogers, Bell and Telus.
