Shipping notification is not instant. I received my shipping notification around 11pm PST Thursday night despite that UPS is showing that it was ready to be picked up around 2:30pm CST Thursday (just 20 some minutes after I placed my order!) This is according to the UPS tracker.

The order was 'picked up' around 2:00pm on Friday which is when I was finally able to track it. I think (could always be wrong) that the inventory is stored directly at the UPS hub and UPS is really the ones fulfilling the orders at Google's request. My shipment shows arrival on Monday which would be two days from the ship date and not the pickup date too.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Your card was not charged. There is an authorization hold on your account from the Play Store for the full amount. It will be charged when it ships. And since you were given Nov 8th, I wouldn't expect shipment until mid to late next week.
[Nexus 5 General] Lancez:
got shipping notification email 2:00 (PDT) this morning, ordered on 31st 11:58:59 PDT.
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
or have it held for pickup from the UPS depot.
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
You ordered yours at literally the exactly same time I did, how ever I have no shipping notification yet :(

What did you get? Mines a white 32gb.

I think you're right - this is the first line in my tracking:

I wonder how many of yall's phones are in these UPS trailers I've been pulling around on freight trains this weekend!?
[Nexus 5 General] Lancez:
I've ordered same thing as you did, white 32G
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
You ordered 9 minutes after I did for the same phone. I haven't heard anything yet. I'd love to know the order their filing these orders because this defies logic.

Oh I know all about last year. I was among many that got heavily screwed over. I'm just happy the actual ordering process went a lot smoother this year.
[Nexus 5 General] Docavelli:
North side. No scans on my tracking as well. I went ground. I knew it was a one day point so even if it slowed a little it would be here in two at the latest.

I've never had to have a sig for anything I've ordered from Google. I'm cool with my regular drivers (Fed Ex and UPS) so they put stuff in a certain place for me if I'm not home.

Has anyone tried to call the UPS warehouse and manage to see WTF they are doing in there lol
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
I just spent about 30 minutes talking to a customer service rep about this. Essentially, no, orders are not being fulfilled in the order they were received. Apparently, due to the volume of orders this is not possible (which is bull****...but whatever). The rep I spoke with could not explain the process being used to fulfill orders, but apparently it is "logical." According to the shipping spreadsheet going around Reddit/XDA, there is absolutely no logic in the way they're shipping orders.

Google, once again, was not prepared for the launch. They're just doing a better job saving face this time around.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
The next device when Android 5.0 comes out, both Google and UPS better hire a crap load of temps to deal with this mess and have more people to handle these orders. No one wants to get screwed.
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
So if ground orders are arriving before 2air anyone think maybe refund on 2day? Free bumper :)
[Nexus 5 General] Docavelli:
Google never says they ship in the order of receipt. As a matter of fact, it's well known that they don't. All they say is we'll ship it by a certain date.

I'm certain your date has not been surpassed as the earliest I've seen is 11/5. So they have nothing to save face about.

[Nexus 5 General] ammarii:
Can anyone let me know the box dimensions and weight?? I need them for the shipping
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
Great. So that translates to people who ordered within hours after launch and haven't received shipping are screwed. But people who ordered hours /day after are golden and are getting their phones. This is my first Nexus phone and at this rate my last. This is ridiculous.

Sent from the other side of the Milky Way with my S4.
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
Of course they don't say that. No company says that. It is, however, SOP with a limited launch item, and is just good business practice

[Nexus 5 General] dinc4g:
Enough!

wrong thread
[Nexus 5 General] Letitride:
There's no point in freaking out about who's getting the shipping notices first and so forth - suffice to say, more than a few individuals worked on processing the orders, preparing the labels & putting together the packages, and scanning them ... to then notifying the receipients of the Tracking #'s for the shipment, and, thus far - all ahead of the initial "expected" leave warehouse dates on the Order Confirmation.

To me, it's a more "civilized" system vs. camping out in front of the brick-n-mortar stores for 1 or 2 or 3 days just to fight for bragging rights that one was in front of others - Google's order processing system isn't perfect but it surely improved over the N4 release last year. And, if speculations are true - part of it being outscourced to UPS at the warehouse distribution center, so it's reasonable to believe that they have some sort of systems in place to do it (you and I might lived with it while others will feel cheated - but maybe the system is pure organized chaos.) It is what it is - get over it, please. :angel:

Given the retail values/costs of the N5's - I highly doubt that Google would waive signature on delivery, even for UPS My Choice. It's easy for the small boxes on the front porch & under the shades to be picked up by someone else & walk away with it.

32GB Black ships by Nov 8th
[Nexus 5 General] GoogleFan:
I ordered around 4pm eastern time and it said that they were having trouble processing and would send me a confirmation email within 15mins.2 days later still no email and order status says pending. But they took my money Thursday and still haven't put it back. Yet they say they don't charge till its shipped? Any clues?
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
I got my shipping information last night at 5:30 am and now this is what it says on UPS

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

Still hoping to get it on Monday or Tuesday.

[Nexus 5 General] phatpaw:
I'm in the same boat. Based on the "will ship by the 5th" original note, I figured I wouldn't see it till the 6th or 7th anyhow. Now I'm optimistic I might actually see it on the 5th. I think my N4 will survive until then. :)
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
There is no signature required on my Nexus 5 from UPS. Are you seeing it on yours?
[Nexus 5 General] johninsf:
Order date: Oct 31, 2013 1:53:44 PM PDT

Google Play says "Leaves warehouse by November 8, 2013."

Went with Black 32GB..looks like white are moving faster to shipping.

Just chillin' though...reading up and looking from an ultra slim case - not too many options yet.

Remain calm and carry on. :)
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
You should definitely give them a call. They're open 24/7. Ask why you have yet to receive a confirmation email, even though Google has already placed a hold against your account.

And before the "authorized hold" lackeys come in here: the money is still gone. For all intents and purposes, Google has his money. It's not money that he can spend, because it's "on hold." It is part-and-parcel no different than being "charged," unless you intend to cancel the order.
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
Mine says "Leaves warehouse in 3 - 4 weeks." Is this just an bad estimate or will it actually take a few weeks?
[Nexus 5 General] MkVsTheWorld:
Getting mine on Monday...
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
I have actually read that 2 weekers have gotten shipping confirmations. Could get luck bud.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
I'm a 2 weeker as of now. Still says leaving in 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping that Google will get it out sooner.
[Nexus 5 General] deck82:
I went with this one for now, mainly because it was $9.99. Also got good reviews and should work until there are more options.

somebody else?
[Nexus 5 General] aindow:
Mine has shipped today according to an email I've received. It was originally dated to ship by 8 November so I bought one from a local carphone warehouse with the intention of cancelling the play store order. Now I'll end up with two as it wouldn't let me cancel the play store order.
[Nexus 5 General] casonswag:
Same exact case i ordered
[Nexus 5 General] moonrock:
Google doesn't have his money, nobody does but the bank. Google basically said "hey bank, does this money exist in the account?" and your bank put a hold on that money in case Google wants to make the charge, but they do NOT have the money. If you want the hold removed, you need to call the bank. Google has no ability to remove the hold.

I got this one too; the clear plastic scratches a little too easily for my tastes.
[Nexus 5 General] M6sterChief:
Nice case, I usually carry my device naked but if I get one, it will be something minimalist like this one. Wonder if they have a transparent one.
[Nexus 5 General] deck82:
Did you remove both thin plastic fills form the clear back part? I wondered how "scratch resistant" it would be. Still seems like more protection than bumpers and you can still see the back of the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
mine still says pending and i ordered it on the 31st!
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
On order page it will keep saying pending. To see estimate you need to check your MY ORDERS page in google play by clicking the gear icon.

If I click on the order, even mine says pending.

It was same for new N7 when they changed to this new layout.

2day shipping, and it's supposed to be here Monday

Anybody have similar issue?

So if it says: shipping by 22 november, how much earlier would it ship? My nexus 4 also shipped 5 days earlier than the estimated date.
[Nexus 5 General] cral:
Just checking in because I still haven't received an email shipping confirmation. I just called them and they basically told me what it says in my order page that it should ship by mid next week and that I will get an email when it does. He said both phones will ship together next week.
[Nexus 5 General] koriflame:
So anyone that got a shipping confirmation this morning, has it gotten beyond the status "Ready for UPS" with the yellow box that says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

I'm just hoping UPS got it before the end of friday so it can get here tuesday. :)

[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Yes, and it still looks like it's got a bunch of scuffs and stuff in it already. I got it for the same reason that you did and I will withhold my final judgment until I get my phone and see it in the case, but I am as of now pretty unimpressed with how scuffed it is already.
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
What day was the UPS shipping label created? If it is anything like mine, it would be two days from that day if you paid for two day shipping.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Mine also hasn't left the facility (or they didn't scan it properly or something) but I'm in San Antonio. Not stressing about it or anything, just something I noticed.
[Nexus 5 General] koriflame:
November 1st
[Nexus 5 General] elementaldragon:
Generally, 2nd day shipping doesn't really count the first day unless actual progress was made. If you got the tracking number, and it was scanned late but hasn't gone anywhere, then it's still not technically "shipped".

And... ordered mine on the 31st at about 2:15 P.M., got my shipping confirmation w/ tracking number at about 4:30 A.M. today. So... probably not seeing mine till Wednesday. Which isn't ALL bad, seeing as I actually start late at work that day.

[Nexus 5 General] Docavelli:
No one can give people estimates on when your phone will ship. I know it's hard to wait seeing others get their phone shipped but if your email says a date or time then you should really be patient and wait until that date or time has passed to freak out. There is no help to be given and no one knows the secret shipping formula.

Calling Google is also useless until it gets past your shipping estimate.

[Nexus 5 General] dhoshman:
Just to let all of my fellow eager N5 owners in waiting know. I ordered my N5 Oct 31st at 3:17pm eastern and I'm still stuck in pending. I contacted Google and talked to the very helpful Jaronda who filled me in on a few things. First of which is that "supposedly" when your order is pending its the same as processing and all orders stay in processing for 1-2 days. Next, my order confirmation email says shipping by Nov 8th. Jaronda let me know that this is a "maximum" time frame a worst case scenario type of thing. She informed me everything looks great and I will receive a shipping confirmation whenever my order ships "up to and including the 8th". I'm eager just like you guys and just wanted to fill you in with the hopes that my situation eases this ride for any of you. Hopefully Jaronda knows her ish and everything works out as she said. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I'm just baffled at how Google,,, a company with all the money and intelligence they have,,, has supply and demand issues happen with just about every single hardware launch they pull off. At this point I just assume it's done purposely. There simply is not one other explanation that makes sense. 2-3 weeks I wait. =(
[Nexus 5 General] elementaldragon:
Maybe because you can't accurately pinpoint demand for a phone, especially with no system of actually pre-ordering the phone and they say "Ok, we need at least x amount of units to cover the pre-orders, and some extra for those last minute buyers". Even WITH pre-orders, you almost never see it hit perfectly. Mostly because i don't think there's a single company that wants to have an overstock of devices sitting around. stagnant stock = lost money.

[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
I got the same information from a very nice CSR also.

Honestly, we can either take them at their word or realize that that's a scripted response because they really don't have any information regarding shipping.

I'm inclined to believe the latter, considering so many have already got their shipping confirmations and most of them placed an order well after I placed an order.

I've been a paying My UPS customer for well over a year and I always get prompt shipping info if the ball is in their court. In this case I'm inclined to believe it is not.

Misinformation is just as bad as no information as far as I'm concerned. I'm annoyed, but I'm reserving final judgment until Nov 5th, which is when my ordered is saying it's expected to ship by.

[Nexus 5 General] Docavelli:
Yep but I've been on the other side a couple of times. There's no sense in getting oneself, or others, worked up about something that really isn't a problem until after they miss the shipping window.

It looks like Google is keeping to their ship by dates so far. People are just getting worked up about the orders going out in some order that was never promised. I like the back and fourth and sharing of info but a lot of us know how this works and if we can help diffuse useless hostility in the thread, I think we should. At least until there is a good reason to be hostile then I say, let'em have it.
