Why wouldn't you expect it? You paid more money than the service actually costs... Id expect all expenses paid from them, car phone warehouse and a refusal on delivery from Google is looking more and more favorable.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
So my orders are now both shipped got one email at 08:32 (white 32gb) and another at 19:52 (black 32gb). Here's hoping for a Monday delivery!!
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Ordered mine at 5:45pm, it'll probably be cancelled! Not sure how they manage to do it at £295.
[Nexus 5 General] erp2:
no surprises there, £10 is an absolute rip-off considering that other european customers paid only 10 euros for cross-national UPS express service. £10 for something slower than Royal Mail is just taking the piss (they would have delivered on Saturday!).
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
I mean't going on previous posts I don't expect it.

Personally yes I would like Saturday delivery!

I've gone for 32GB so I don't have much choice, have you gone for 16GB?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Exactly Im going to phone and complain, ask for my delivery refunded and if not ill go to CPW
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
In confused.

If they do use express 24 - it will probably be delivered Saturday.

And looking at the price chart - all those prices are above what Google charged us.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing. lol
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
No, but im almost ready to go for the smaller storage just to get it sooner :/ I am very weak xD
[Nexus 5 General] daleski75:
Which forum was this? The main reason why I am asking is my Z1 is rubbish for making calls as the volume is way too low to the point I cannot hear anything people say in a slightly noisy area so will be very disappointed if the Nexus 5 is the same.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Express 24 has Saturday delivery for extra charge. £7.50 extra

If you login with an account its around £8 (i used my works account)
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
Does the £8 you are quoting take into account the cost of an outer box + someone to pack it and address it?

Also, the cost of shipping to further flung parts of the UK is likely to be higher, so they will average those costs out to keep the checkout process simple.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
But if it comes tomorrow.....

Its cheap. :)

I've still got hope. lol
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Over on AV Forums.

They weren't complaining about the actual earpiece speaker, they said that the other person could barely hear him on the other end.

Granted it could be a bad line unless he's tested it more than once.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
£8 including a grey standard postage bag.. Im sure if my tiny company gets £8 as a special offer google get much lower..

also confirmed no Saturday delivery
[Nexus 5 General] MrPhilo:
I think your overeating too much over a £2 difference.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Its a £2 for me, i guess google pay less than £5 for our delivery.. I dont care about the difference its just they should have paid for Saturday delivery for us.
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
I you feel like you've been ripped off for the £2 you should head to CPW. I'm sure someone else will be able to put your N5 to good use and pay the £2 premium ;)
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
If Google do get discounted rates - who's to say the tenner doesn't include Saturday aswell?

Let's wait & see.

It got despatched in less than a day - and ordering it was incident free aswell.

So far - everything has been done perfectly & fast.
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
Based on the Nexus 4 launch, you should count yourself lucky that you're getting it this year! I've never known any company give Saturday delivery away free, and someone is being paid to those boxes into the mail bags / outer box and hand them over to the delivery driver.

I hear CPW are suffering from their own problems... :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I think your missing my point, my point is £10 is acceptable delivery if we were treated fairly. Europe gets 10 euros for UPS.. why don't we get UPS? at the very least why don't we get parcel force with Saturday?

I did the whole nexus 4 limbo.. i just assumed Google would have learned
[Nexus 5 General] Drew474:
Hi guys/gals

Ordered mine on google play at 1830 31/10, got dispatched today at 1710. Am I right in guessing this will be a monday delivery? As stated above no delivery on saturday......
[Nexus 5 General] daleski75:
That could be a deal breaker for me as that guy is already considering sending his back already because people can hardly hear him.
[Nexus 5 General] FTMDan:
Order date: 31-Oct-2013 20:44:58 GMT

I can see the pending charge on my credit card. My account says 'Leaves warehouse by 8 November 2013.' and when I click on the order it says 'Pending'.
[Nexus 5 General] sevimlibrad:
ok i understood you

no idont know
[Nexus 5 General] therealbroxy:
I think it launched at 8am ish in the morning, I was on a flight that day and it landed late which made me miss out, I ran off the plane into the lounge dragging my laptop out but the servers were overloaded and I missed out on the first round.

I will be better prepared this time (I hope)
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Hey, I'm a UK student that will be studying abroad in the States from next January. Given that we won't likely see a release until the end of October, I thought I might as well wait and buy it at a much cheaper price in the States. However I would just like to know, based on the leaked FCC filings, can anyone tell me if there are any differences between the US and UK models? Mainly, my concern is that the LTE frequencies operates on a different spectrum to the UK model. When I bring the phone back to the UK, I would like for it to work with Three's 4G :)
[Nexus 5 General] Carzas:
Yes, there will be a difference on the models, D820 for USA and D821 for everywhere else.

You should check out the LTE-band thread a couple of pages back and see if they fit your carriers bands.
[Nexus 5 General] caiiostylle:
Prices really should be relevant to the Nexus 5, but the vast majority of countries think the prices will be good, since I live in the country where that is the Brazil I can not wait for exorbitant prices :(
[Nexus 5 General] dazza_84:
Phoned Google tech team to swap my broken nexus 4, I said I would wait till the new update comes out to see if it fixes the problem I'm having, I asked casually when the new update is coming out lol he said he couldn't reveal that information looool a part of me died inside haha
[Nexus 5 General] krakersik:
Chyba go kupie :).
[Nexus 5 General] Ajfink:
How long will you be in the US? If it's six months to a year, I would get the UK model and grab a $30 T-Mobile plan (check out the thread for this in this forum) and live with HSPA+, unless you'll be in a more rural area, in which case Aio/Smart Talk would be better bets. If longer, just buy the US version and sell it before you leave or live with HSPA+ in the UK.

US telecoms and UK telecoms are using completely different bands for LTE. With how awesomely inter-operable GSM is, it's a damn shame how fragmented LTE became.
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
Petrol is 10p a litre cheaper (Asda)

Bread is 30p a loaf cheaper (hovis)

Milk is 70p per 4 litres cheaper (Asda)

Electricity, well you got me there but then again they are robbing bastards.

PS4 at launch is cheaper than the PS3 was.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
See post above mine. You're way off track.

"Newer, better, technology so it costs more"? Huh? Games consoles from the 80s and 90s were relatively more expensive then than they are now. Same with games. Same with computers. Family PC's used to cost about £2500 in mid 90's. So I have no idea what you are talking about. The price should go down, if anything.
[Nexus 5 General] lininjim:
In 2004, I bought a brand new Toyota Prius T-Spirit, it cost me around about £21,500.

In 2010 I replaced it with the new model from that year, it cost me £24,500, same trim, (T-Spirit), same car (Toyota Prius) but it was newer tech the cost was higher.

Current model, same spec £25,640.

Something else?

How much was iPad mini when it came out last year ? £299 (I’m only guessing that I don’t tend to follow apple pricing so please correct me if I’m wrong), how much is the current one? from £319.

Prices do go down when the tech becomes second tier, an iPad mini now that is the previous gen is £249.

When Nexus 5 goes on sale IF they continue to sell Nexus 4 it will be at a reduced price compared to when it was new.

It’s all about making profit, when they can sell it cheaper and if the market allows products reduce (or to shift stock!)

I wish it was always cheaper being as my wages are significantly higher now than in 2004, hence I have more buying power so it appears cheaper, at this time.

That said I’ll be buying the N5 as soon as I can anyway.

Peace out :)
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Thanks dude. Very helpful post. I will be in North Carolina for 6 months so I guess it makes sense I just buy in the UK. I was unaware that the US and the UK have different bands for LTE, I assumed it would be standard frequencies like GSM :/

Hey guys, I've asked previously on this thread and I'm trying to reconfirm something.

I come from Malaysia and I am currently in the UK. I have a debit card and a UK address( a place which I'm going to be staying for the next 9 months).

Can I just simply set up google wallet and then purchase the upcoming nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Maybe he has a defective unit?
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Hopefully its just his phone!
[Nexus 5 General] Drew474:
Might have been dispatched already mate, just havent got your confirmation. I never got my email until a few hours after it was collected from google.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
I purchased my Nexus 5 at 3:26pm today, however, my debit card hasn't been charged yet. Is this cause for concern, or "normal"?
[Nexus 5 General] erp2:
When most companies are able to send for free with purchases over a certain amount, I find it hard to believe that the best Google has managed to negotiate for the UK is £10 delivery with parcelforce. They've managed to negotiate cross-national express UPS service for most european countires at 10 euros (the retail cost for this is way over 10 euros, nearer to 40-50), so it's not like they're unable to negotiate decent delivery deals. As always, it boils down to two things in the end: incompetency, on whoever negotiated this deal for the UK or malice, making a neat little profit with extortionate deliveries.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I completely agree. We should have had UPS in the UK as well.

People who say maybe google paid for the express24 with Saturday delivery, they didnt, I checked with parcel force and its a bogstandard next day.. (or because google are stupid next monday)
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Either way we are going to pay it
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
Because it costs more than £10 and there is no way to know at order time if you will be getting a dispatch on Friday, Saturday, or Monday?

IIRC UPS charge more for Saturday delivery in the UK as well.

Have you cancelled your order yet? :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Nope, people in europe got free UPS with saturday delivery,

and no i cant i have to refuse delivery when it arrives
[Nexus 5 General] enfxuevsi:
Ordered: 31 Oct 2013 20:56

Was a little worried having cancelled a few orders prior to my final one, watched it sat on pending ever since. Just got the email with tracking, HYPE. Finally dumping my iPhone 4 after 3 years :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
But do UPS charge extra for Saturday delivery in Europe? In fact, maybe they're just cheaper all round?

Personally, I think you should write to your MP.

If not the Prime Minister.

Google you charge you £2 more postage, and Samsung will mark up their phones by £200.

I know which bothers me least.
[Nexus 5 General] MinhBao92:
I live in Sunderland, I ordered yesterday at 18:15 and now I got the shipping email at 19:21 today. I think yours may be tonight.

Stop making an arse of yourself. Its not about the £2 its about everyone else getting better service for less money. all about the principal..

shipped :D

32 gb black

ordered 31oct 18:42
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
thats the way i look at it. im stoked to have such an awesome phone for just £349 delivered.

I want the phone as soon as possible, sure... im like a kid at xmas, i always am when i get a new phone... ive previously done the hunting around for where to buy from to get it the quickest, cancelling orders when i find other places where you can get it sooner etc.... this time i had 1 single plan:

I knew which version i wanted... black 32gb, and I wanted to buy it from the play store, which i did. i knew it would incur a wait, I actually thought id have to wait for it to come from the US... and i thought id be paying customs charges. I didn't care. I knew there would be many others with the device in hand before me, but you know what? this has been one of my best buying experiences ever. Why?

I loved how it launched... the run up was intense, so many leaks and rumours... absolutely jack from the big G, everyone rabid to get more information, scouring the web for the next glimmer of intel as to when we could order... and then boom, from nowhere it hits the play store. Everything I was watching on the net blew up with the news that it had arrived. And now? im calm in the knowledge that mine is on its way... Im waiting, but im enjoying every minute of the anticipation, and this really is the best bit... its as good as it gets, because the reality is, its just another phone, and once you have experienced it, that feeling has gone... until the next time.

The best feature of this nexus, is the community.... all of you, xda, we all create this... its the no. 1 reason i bought the phone straight off, to share in the whole experience with you people from the beginning
[Nexus 5 General] Lewey22B:
Yep you guys were right, got the e-mail there saying it's shipped.

Can't wait! :D
[Nexus 5 General] zen123:
Tried to cancel my order but it won't let me. Says its being readied for dispatch. Don't want to lose £10 on the shipping....pain in the butt

[Nexus 5 General] bisto321:
I tried clicking the cancel button this afternoon too and got the cancel error message.

Called google and asked why I could not cancel, as my order was still pending and no charge had been made to my card? initially she gave me the line about getting ready for dispatch and I would have to just refuse the delivery!

When I pushed her a bit more she found a note indicating that I had pushed the cancel button and the order was being cancelled but could take up to 48hrs for the mail to arrive! What a bunch of nonsense from a billion dollar company - she then went on to say that it might still arrive, but it might not, she didn't know.

Also, the cheeky feckers charge an additional £3 for the case delivery, so my delivery charge was £12.99. I am surprised that don't charge 0.00001p more for the 32GB version because the memory weighs more!

Looks like a nice phone, but i played with the LG G2 and decided to get that for a few quid more.

changing IMEI is old skool and probably never done now. Its easier and less risky to just change the board out of a phone. If your done changing an IMEI its jail time so never worth it. Should have just shown him the back of your hand for being a arsey about it. Wish you luck on your adventure at another CEX tomorrow

It is done. Stealing phone is potentially a jail term. If someone is ready for that he's ready to risk it with Imei. Quite possibly that in Nexus Imei change is one simple line in fastboot (not going to post it here).

oh yeah I know about it but why would you especially to sell to cex where you have to have an account and given ID. If it were me and i was up for ID fraud, mobile theft and changing an IMEI with the potential jail time i think i would invest my time else where.

From ParcelFarce:

All parcels received in our depot during Friday night and Saturday morning will be loaded to our delivery vehicles, and show this status, whether they are due for delivery on Saturday or Monday.

When the sender has chosen and paid for the Saturday delivery service, we will deliver your parcel today. Deliveries on a Saturday are between 7am and 2pm. However, if the sender has not chosen the Saturday delivery service, then we will deliver your parcel on Monday (except for Bank Holidays / Public Holidays).
