random theory on people not getting shipping notices/etc in any sorta proper order..

<note completely made up numbers used for examples i have no idea how many sold/how many printers/etc>

they get 50,000 orders in at one shot.. they have 5 printers... each printer gets 10,000 slips to print.. printer # 1 gets orders #1-10,000 printer two gets order # 10,001 to 20,000 to print at the same time as printer 1. etc etc repeat for the other printers printing the packing labels.. staff start taking the slips off each printer as they come out to put on boxes and scan them for shipping.. so order #1 and order # 10,0001 and order # 20,001 all get put onto a package each at about the same time.. thus # 20,001 beats order # 5,000 out the door just because of how staff took the shipping papers to put onto boxes and scan them to get them into the system.

add in random errors like printer jams, toner low etc and some orders have to be re printed a the end of the print que.

*shrugs* just an idea on what may be going on...

think of it this way.. the later yours comes in.. the more likely it will have less defects from the manufacturer like yellow tinted glass/glue on the screen since they would of fine tuned the process more as time goes on in production.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
well if that's the case then a very poor performance by a muti billion dollar company. i wouldn't expect to get a needle from them in time even if only 10 people ordered it.
[Nexus 5 General] vseslija:
Has anyone ordered within last 2 days when it says shippin 3-5 weeks and got a shipping notice? I know its a long shot just wondering.

[Nexus 5 General] ah_long:
not sure how it happened

ordered a 32GB White on Nov 2nd 1:15:24EDT

got a shipping notice today and it should be here on by end of Thursday

It showed 3-4 weeks when I ordered it
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
its not the orders being made withing a short period of time that irks us. Its people who ordered many hours later, and even the next day, who have had their shipped and we have still had no notice.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

i tried to cancel mine and it wont let me because it says its being prepared for shipping. even with that, i would still be surprised if i get shipping notice tomorrow. but now i dont want it. there is no way i will get it in time. and my brother doesnt want to have to sell it for me.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
its 5th now. if they dont send me the shipment notice today then ill get the money to buy a case and screen protectors :P
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
It's still the 4th out in BC ;):)
[Nexus 5 General] cityukings:
finally received my email. :)
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
Good for ya.. Now the wait starts..
[Nexus 5 General] dj_aj:
Luck would have it that I left work a little late today and the nexus 5 was sold out in the Canadian play store.

I managed to order 1 through the US play store since I live on the border but would anyone happen to know if there's any difference in the network bands supported between the US and the Canadian Nexus 5?

I plan to use it on the Bell LTE network. Thanks folks!

Tip - For the people who aren't receiving order confirmations, I would cancel the order and try placing it again. ONLY if there are units that are available to be checked out..DO NOT cancel your order before checking the stock.
[Nexus 5 General] themielkman:
I was too late :( I couldn't put down what I was doing at work and come back half hour later and it's sold out... I really hope they get more stock in.
[Nexus 5 General] Kick-Ass Joe:
I missed it too
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
I still cant believe that after the nexus 4 debacle Google is making the same mistakes again.
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
I had the play store on auto-refresh and managed to get my order in by 2:06pm.

Got super lucky this time. Black, 32GB.

I think I'm going to miss having a micro-SD slot, but worth it for the specs of this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Sandman2749:
Don't give up hope. I knew they were sold out but was jumping sizes and colors and all of a sudden a 32GB white came up.

1st time - got it to the cart before it disappeared

2nd time - proceeded to checkout before it disappeared

3rd time's the charm and made it to the pay screen and my order went through.

Obviously a couple of phones are dripping into the Play store still. (cancellations I would guess)
[Nexus 5 General] TyroneLT:
I ordered the 32gb version. Coming on the 8th. I currently have a Galaxy Nexus. Will I be able to swap out the SIM card into the Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] filthygoat223996:
Grabbed mine 5 minutes before it sold out, refreshed until they were In stock
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
N5 is micro-sim. Galaxy Nexus is mini-sim. You will have to get a new sim from your carrier.
[Nexus 5 General] 08cherd4:
This wait for re-stock is going to be pure hell
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
Yeah. I didn't think any launch could be worse than the Nexus 4. First gen Nexus 7 is a close second. From the looks of things the Nexus 5 launch may be right up with those two. Seems like Canada had about 1000 phones worth of inventory lol
[Nexus 5 General] richport29:
Keep trying, I just ordered a 16gb black not 5 minutes ago. :)

Seems there coming in/out.
[Nexus 5 General] christx:
I ordered the 32gb in black right at 2:00pm and received my google play order receipt at 2:03pm.

Ships by November 5, 2013.

:highfive:

Has anyone received a shipment notification yet, some in the states have.
[Nexus 5 General] thas5:
It seems I need to buy a new SIM card for my Nexus 5(like many, I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus). Does anyone know if Fido lets you use your FIdoDollars on a SIM card?
[Nexus 5 General] richport29:
More in stock, order fast!!
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
32GB, black, says "Dispatched from warehouse in 3 - 4 weeks".
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
Lol "leaves warehouse in 3 to 4 weeks"

Nice
[Nexus 5 General] thas5:
Am I right to assume that that's only for people who are ordering it now? Would hate for all orders to be delayed.

I ordered mine 32gb Black on 1st at around 1pm PST. I got my shipping notice this Sunday. Today my UPS tracking updated and it shows expected delivery 11/12/13 to my door. I had a logitech mouse sent from US with UPS and the expected delivery of UPS was very accurate... Looks like next Tuesday.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Damn. I ordered mine about an hour after you and it still says pending.
[Nexus 5 General] jaysim:
white nexus 32gb ordered on 1-Nov-2013 12:58:41 MDT PM

Original estimate was 3-4 weeks

got shipping confirmation today and tracking number.

Scheduled Delivery:

Thursday, 11/07/2013, By End of Day

Last Location:

Departed - Louisville, KY, United States, Tuesday, 11/05/2013

Louisville, KY, United States	11/05/2013	1:49	Departure Scan

Louisville, KY, United States	11/04/2013	19:41	Origin Scan

United States	11/04/2013	14:39	Order Processed: Ready for UPS

this is to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

likely to receive it before the end of this week after ordering it last friday (a day after initial launch).

I guess I got a bit lucky, seems like some first day order people are getting shafted?

elfdedus THE

This sucks man. I am also in Surrey, BC near Guildford mall. I was about to give up since everything was out of stock. I was just pumping the F5 button until I saw that $399 tab next to my "add to wish list". Hopefully yours ships soon. I just dont like that it ships from the US, have to wait a bit extra....
[Nexus 5 General] Robert Hodgson:
My confirmation email says my phone will ship from the Canadian Toronto office on the 26th My creditcard has been charged (still shows pending) hoping they ship earlier then 3 to 4 weeks
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
So its been 7 hours and counting at Lexington, KY. I guess its still waiting for more shipments from Louisville?
[Nexus 5 General] special.k:
My N5 just got to the boarder early this morning. I'm sure it will go through and make it's way to the GTA later today.
[Nexus 5 General] TheTommyD:
That's typical. My Nexus 4 was the same route and times in September.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Mines at Detroit almost there
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
So is mine! I just hope UPS delivers it in the morning while my wife is at home. Otherwise I'll have to wait for them to re-attempt the delivery on Thursday.
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
Likewise! Mine started out in the 3-4 weeks category, but it looks like they put mine on with your shipment!Nice :)

yipeee....
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
Oh man its moving very slowly.. Just at 2 hours drive ve for me and scheduled for tomorrow..
[Nexus 5 General] christx:
Yup, still waiting

Detroit, MI, United States	11/05/2013	4:14	Arrival Scan
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
So since 2:24 EST, there were no tracking info that came from UPS. Last status was at Lexington, OH at 11:55PM last night.

Maybe it moved around since then?
[Nexus 5 General] TheTommyD:
Oh man its moving very slowly.. Just at 2 hours drive for me and scheduled for tomorrow..

Yes, it takes a while at the Border. Toronto area will get them Tomorrow, then Ottawa area overnight Wednesday from Toronto, for Thursday Delivery!
[Nexus 5 General] Bergy37:
Check your 1Z number that you received from Google on the UPS page. Mine also says 3 to 4 weeks on the Google Play store, but UPS shows that it will be delivered by the end of the day Thursday.
[Nexus 5 General] mickliq:
So my UPS status hasn't changed since the weekend (still stuck in Lousiville, KY) and my delivery date (so far) has slipped to 7 Nov. Strange.
[Nexus 5 General] arimus:
I order two with in 30 minutes and one is on track for tomorrow the other for Thursday, the first one on the UPS tracking site was stuck no updates since Friday just got updated like many others its in Detroit and on track for tomorrow ( i'm in the GTA):D
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
Finally left Lexington and in transit to Maumee, OH. Looks like it's skipping Cincinnati, OH. Hopefully it heads to the border tonight.
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
From where do you get to know that where it is headed to?
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
So does anyone in Canada have one yet? :)
[Nexus 5 General] TheOneChristo:
Ordered mine on Nov-1st at 5pm.

Just dropped from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 weeks.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I fall into the lucky bunch that have received shipping confirmation incredibly early.
[Nexus 5 General] Suhail24:
Getting mine delivered tomorrow hopefully. Currently in Detroit.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
type your UPS tracking number on PackageMapping.com
[Nexus 5 General] TheTommyD:
Mine cleared the Border much faster than this past September. It's already in Canada. At this rate it may arrive Wednesday instead of Thursday!
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
Same here.. Mine is in Windsor and scanned at exactly 9.50.. Ours are in same lot.. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Ashcunak:
hmm a small jump to fargo from minneapolis.. still has a big jump to go to calgary by thursday.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Mine also...but still says delivered by thursday...
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
I wish I get it Today as London will be the first destination for UPS truck.. I am ready for a pickup aswell.. :D

[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
Same here buds. 9:50 scan in at Windsor. Should make it to Waterloo by tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] custo:
In transit to Winnipeg. I wonder if that's the final stop before Edmonton
[Nexus 5 General] Ashcunak:
whoah thats neat, that packagemapping.com site thinks my package is heading to manitoba.. wonder if it really is..
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
So is mine!
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Ordered mine at 3:20 on November 1st, it has just been bumped from 4-5 weeks to 3-4 weeks :D
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
So this means that it will go to GTA and then come back to London.. Crazy.. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
Ya I never really understood that but as long as I get it tomorrow I'll be happy.
[Nexus 5 General] UberUrban:
3:20 am or pm? I ordered mine at 10:00pm (EST) Nov 1st and still have the status as pending :(
[Nexus 5 General] mafiaboy01:
It's because with world ease the phones come in one huge shipment so it's easier to clear customs. It then goes to Concord where they have their big processing center and the package is broken up into the individual phones and shipped to the house from there.
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
so, after concord it goes to Mississauga then heads to Ottawa...guessing I wouldn't get it a day early hahaha...
[Nexus 5 General] UberUrban:
Nexus 5 Spreadsheet

Alright, so since everyone is asking when they placed their order and if they have received any news from Google, I thought it'd make sense to have a spreadsheet collect all this data instead of everyone asking everywhere.

If you have placed an order, please fill out this form. Also, do post this URL on other forums as well. The more data we have, the more things will make sense.

If you would like me to change anything in the form, do let me know. :good:

EDIT: Fixed the date and time thingy. Please add response again if you already did. Sorry and thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
Cool! I put it my data.
[Nexus 5 General] Malarie:
Mu device has been shipped last Friday, i will receive it in Montreal Tomorrow.

http://imgur.com/YsGc7TS
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Time has to be in GMT aka London time right?
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
This is pretty cool, hopefully it gets a lot of responses. Just a note for people who ordered LATER than 4 PM PST (7 PM EST), the date you enter for GMT will be a day later since it will be past midnight. So if you ordered at 4 PM PST on October 31, it'll be 12:00 AM GMT November 1. Not that it REALLY matters, but thought I'd point that out.
[Nexus 5 General] ericchu94:
You have no idea how hard it was to fill that out, with daylight savings and everything...
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
Also, do you have a link to the responses/stats of the entries?
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
I agree, and based on the responses, so do a lot of others haha. I like the people who just screwed the time conversion and posted their local time. It would have been easier to convert all times to Pacific or Eastern or something.
[Nexus 5 General] THE_KINGDOM:
I ordered my device the second it showed up on Google Play using an auto refresh, and mine still says that only "the shipping label has been created", yet my brother who ordered slightly after me and received his "shipping label had been created" also after me, is now receiving transit messages, strange..

Nexus 5 white 32GB
[Nexus 5 General] UberUrban:
Responses in spreadsheet here. You wouldve seen the pretty graphs etc. when you completed the form.

I agree, converting to GMT is a pain, but that's the easiest one I think. If you have any helpful tools/websites that can quicken the conversion, then you could tell me and I'll post it next to the questions.
[Nexus 5 General] Ashcunak:
or mountain :P
[Nexus 5 General] stjs:
Same here. I bet they ship early.
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
Was supposed to get my package today! It shows its in the city ups warehouse! But nothing yet! I hope I do get it deleviered today or I might call them to pick it up!
[Nexus 5 General] spicydicy:
Can you do that?

Mine shows in transit to Winnipeg from Grand forks, which is 2 hours away. It left 2 hours ago. So it should arrive in town shortly.

I could go to their warehouse here in Winnipeg and pick it up today then?
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
You have to contact UPS and make sure that they know you're going to them to pick it up, or else it'll get put on a delivery truck and you'll be SOL if you show up to the warehouse.
[Nexus 5 General] dav94:
I ordered a white 32 gb Nexus 5 at 2:07:33 PM EST and I still have not received a shipping notification. I ordered 2 black 16 gb few minutes after that and they are already shipped. My current plan is about to finish in 8 days and I need my white nexus 5 in order to switch to a new plan. Ive seen people order much later than me and have it shipped already. Is anyone else having the same issue?

[Nexus 5 General] BrandonPrice31:
My 31st 8 minutes after launch order has not shipped.

WTF?
[Nexus 5 General] dav94:
People ordered a day after and had theirs shipped already. I ordered mine right when it was released. In Canada, it was release at like 2:06 and it took me like 1 minute to order it and its not shipped.
[Nexus 5 General] Ashcunak:
Pembina.. its at the border? maybe?
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
call and complain...before you get the shipping email

ask them to send it to a shipping specialist

they might give you a refund on the shipping because people who ordered it much later are getting it much sooner.

i called because i want to cancel because i wont be around to pick it up since it hasnt even started shipping yet

tho they wont cancel it because its "supposed to" ship today

but they said they would send it to a shipping specialist and try to do something for me
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
That's a stop before Winnipeg..

My order is at either Maumee, OH or Detroit, MI. Hopefully it goes through the border tonight so it can process at the border for the day just in time for delivery on Thursday.. I hope..
[Nexus 5 General] dav94:
Yea, I was going to call them today if i didnt get the email.

But I do think calling and complaining before I get the email is a good idea.

I think Ill give them a call, thanks
[Nexus 5 General] custo:
Mine was destined for Winnipeg but is in Pembina now. Should enter Canada shortly!
[Nexus 5 General] kmckmc:
My 32gb black is heading to Maumee since 11:53AM local time..

The scheduled delivery is 11/6 to GTA, and somehow I have a feeling that it can be late at this rate (hope I'm wrong)..

I ordered another phone 16g black at about 8PM EST launch day, and that one is sitting at Cincinnati since 10:34AM today. This one's scheduled delivery is 11/7.

[Nexus 5 General] flar2:
If any of you guys in Ottawa get your N5 soon and want to help me out with development, drop me a pm. I'm anxious to start development on the ElementalX kernel but I'm reluctant to release anything without trying it out first. There are a few things about this phone I want to see firsthand. For reference, check out my work on the HTC One or new Nexus 7.

My N5 won't be arriving for a while yet (leaves warehouse in 2-3 weeks). I figure I'll get it around the beginning of December.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
So there's people with theirs that's scheduled for today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday shipping for this week?

Can we designate which delivery batches we're in?

Delivery Batch #1 - Wednesday, 6 November 2013

Delivery Batch #2 - Thursday, 7 November 2013

Delivery Batch #3 - Friday, 8 November 2013

and so on and so forth...?

So for me, I'm in batch #3 in the GTA for Thursday End of Day.

If it makes things easier?

EDIT: Maybe classifying by Date Shipping Email received would be easier?
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
No one is scheduled for Today in CANADA..

So it will be like this:

Delivery Batch #1 - Wednesday, 6 November 2013

Delivery Batch #2 - Thursday, 7 November 2013

Delivery Batch #3 - Friday, 8 November 2013

So mine is #1
[Nexus 5 General] DeusInvictus7:
Batch #2 for me. Coming to Waterloo :) so stoked! Since it's already in Cincinnati, is there an chance that it may get to Concord by the morning?
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
They are useless, i called them 5 times n each time one of them tells me something, my order showed nov 5th ship date and yesterday it changed to pending, i ordered 5 mins after they went live
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
Ah okay thanks :D

I thought I read a post that had someone's shipment within their area today so assumed someone had an expected delivery today.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
there was at least one post from a person who said they expected delivery today. whether they were right or not is another question.
[Nexus 5 General] THE_KINGDOM:
still showing "A UPS shipping label has been created." no update :(
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
i think their policy when someone complains about it not shipping is to tell them they are in the "3-4 weeks group". thats what they told me the last time, despite my email showing the 5th, and another agent confirmed it was the 5th. after i told her my email says the 5th, she stopped trying to say otherwise.

the lady told me they would probably send it by 2 day delivery. tho i dont think she is right....she may have been confusing US orders that are much faster. or maybe because i told them i wont be around to receive it, they might make it faster. but i doubt that. they dont really care.

for some reason my wallet and play details have never shown a ship by date. only the email. that text other people say they see on their play store info doesnt appear in mine.
