Will contacting Google do any good? Initially ordered on 2nd but payment was declined, updated payment info on 4th and my card was charged. But my order is still pending with no news of shipping. Shipping estimate is December 3rd, and Google Play status still says declined when I look in My Orders...
[Nexus 5 General] U Flippin Idiot:
I just ordered my third for my son. 32 GB white night before last and will have it tomorrow. Got my 32gb black and white ones ordered on launch day 2 days ago. Paid for expedited shipping on all 3
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
Looks like I'm going to get my Spigen Case before my phone ( I ordered the case yesterday and the phone on the 1st). Sigh... I'm disappointed in Google and hope they put the phone on Amazon already so I can race the shipping times ( I need 2 phones anyway ).
[Nexus 5 General] bricky23:
I would order the white one in hopes of getting it sooner. But with my luck, I would get both, and not be able to cancel the black one. :(
[Nexus 5 General] bhyde:
I believe this is true, i ordered a white 32gb Nov 4th 5:55pm and it is in my hand right now Nov 7th...unbelievable how this shipping is working out. My order said the phone wasn't shipping until Nov 22nd
[Nexus 5 General] Salviikiddd:
Gave in and ordered the 32gb white. Let's see how fast that shipping notification comes in now...
[Nexus 5 General] qckndrty:
Much less demand for the white it appears
[Nexus 5 General] bricky23:
Me to. What the heck.:)
[Nexus 5 General] venelar:
Yep! 32gb was $408 :)
[Nexus 5 General] sids911:
I ordered 1st of November, 32 GB black and I have just received it now. It was a 5-7 business days ground shipping - so basically they kept their date.

Now on to the packaging oddities

- The white box that it came in had double stickers on one side (sticker over sticker) which makes me believe they (?) opened the box and repacked it.

- The phone inside came with many dust/cardboard speckles. Not sure why - it looks like it was not packed in a "clean" environment

- There were TWO safety and warranty information booklets (both same) - someone put in two instead of one.

- I believe instead of two safety and warranty booklets, I should have gotten one safety and warranty booklet and one user manual (what all booklets everyone else is getting?)

Any comments?
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
They want you to be extra careful ;)
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Wow lucky my 16 GB cost 387 because of tax
[Nexus 5 General] Fataldesain:
This may upset some people but I ordered 4 32gb nexus 5 Halloween night at like 11:30pm eastern. It said 2-3 weeks and would ship 11/15. Got all four on wed this week. I used two different Google accounts. I don't even want a 32gb as its too much storage.

Now what's upsetting is all the people are Craig's list selling for only a few bucks more. Last year I was selling nexus 4's for 600 and doing RMA to get more.

Last Google has and will not charge me for all the RMA phones which total over 2000 dollars. Google sucks are this ordering thing I guess
[Nexus 5 General] banshee28:
I also ordered on the 1st. I ordered a White 32G and Black 32G. I have called twice and each time told it will ship by the 22nd. However on my play store page, it shows the black "Pre-ordered" and the White "Leaves warehouse in 2 - 3 weeks."!!

Not sure why the difference but they have not been able to tell me why this is the case, only that everything is ok and it will ship soon. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] cssacropolis:
LOL. I am really really tempted to do that at this point. 11/22, really Google??
[Nexus 5 General] :
My spigen case just came but i still don't have my device.. :(
[Nexus 5 General] larryg2k3:
Have two black 32gb if anyone is interested up on swappa.
[Nexus 5 General] riggs170:
I am finally on it ooooohhh snap
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
What do you mean by RMA to get more? You mean scam? Notntryjng to jump to conclusions butbifnyoy are buying in bulk to sell and RMA to get more to sell how is this not hurting those who want to buy to keep and not sell?
[Nexus 5 General] Fataldesain:
Yeah that was last year but people were willing to pay it I live in Miami so a lot of guys don't care they sell it for more in overseas. Anyway you can't do that now it will take weeks to get it last year you could RMA pay no tax and get in three days. Worst part is Google has yet to charge me for one RMA and that was a year ago.
[Nexus 5 General] bricky23:
Ordered the black on Nov.3 Just now ordered the white. Both say ship 11/22 :crying: Oh well, 11/22 not that far away. I will cancel one and just wait for the other.
[Nexus 5 General] iletired:
2 days late... FINALLY ships. With the weekend and holiday on Monday, doubt I'll get it until Tuesday, a full week late.

No gripes about Veterans Day! Thanks Vets!
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Judging by what he is saying, that is exactly what he means. He bought a bunch of Nexus 4's last year. Sold them all for a profit on craigslist and then had Google send him RMA devices for each one. He sold the original phones instead of sending them back to Google so Google charged him full price for the RMA devices as well. But it didn't matter because he made additional profit on each one anyway. So in the end he probably made a good amount of cash.

I want to hate on him for it, but the reality is it is smart (I'm ashamed to admit). Google is still making their full asking price on every phone so they don't care. He's just profiting off those who initially got screwed by Google in the first place and were willing to pay extra to get their phone immediately from Craigslist. It's tough to truly hate good business sense, I suppose.
[Nexus 5 General] Salviikiddd:
I decided to do it after my order went from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 weeks back to 3-4 then to leaves warehouse on November 26 to December 3rd.

I said screw it, let's test my luck with the 32gb panda lol
[Nexus 5 General] derukun:
Y'all are tempting me to do the same now haha.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Panda's seem to be shipping quicker and have less defects from what I can see. The codename for this phone should have been Panda.
[Nexus 5 General] :
No thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
And to top it off, the only two big differences are the backing being white and the sides being polished black instead of matte black. You could get a white one and just get a black back plate later. Then you'd essentially have the black one with polished sides, which arguably looks even better than the all flat black version.
[Nexus 5 General] kepapas:
Small box what I remember
[Nexus 5 General] Exel:
It was a shipping box that the phone box fit perfectly in.
[Nexus 5 General] htowngator:
Mine was at 11:02am pst with expensive ship and still no tracking.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Lol oh man those were fun days in retrospect. That thread was going like two pages a minute for days.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Same, but shipping emails could go out all night.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Hey now...I complained when folks were getting their N4 days in advance when I was among the first orders (before Play went live it was already live). Turns out KY is shipping them to the closer ZIPs, and the first batch went out on the same day, doesn't mean they'll hit every locale the same time. :)
[Nexus 5 General] nickmv:
I assume all of you ordered the 16GB black version?

The white 32GB didnt even go on sale til about 11:11 AM PT
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
I was in the same boat last year brother; trust me, I remember the pain and frustration well. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Still, N4 was smooth compared to the N1! LOL!
[Nexus 5 General] wngmv:
I remember that. I never bother to sign up for notification. It was pretty obvious to me that xda is gonna be faster than email.

Last year I was in the US and stayed up for the Europe release as well. When N4 were sold out in EU in something like 5 minutes AND crashed EU site, I kinda sensed we were in trouble. I started refreshing around 11:00EST and went to take a brief break around 11:15. Came back at 11:40 and saw the thread all over the forum and panicked. I started trying to put an order in on both my laptop (chrome) and my iPad (safari). Finally got my order in with my iPad at 11:42EST.....In comparison this year we are in heaven.
[Nexus 5 General] htowngator:
Negative

32gb black
[Nexus 5 General] hlaalu:
Ouch, now it says orders won't leave the warehouse for 2-3 weeks!
[Nexus 5 General] FiveOhFour:
I know this is a bit of a crapshoot but is there any insight as to which color has a higher availability in 32Gb? I know that's nearly impossible to discern accurately barring one selling out much quicker or something like that but I haven't been on the cutting edge of reports today so looking for any info out there even if its just that there is no such Info to be had currently. I have a 32Gb white and black on order currently and will be canceling one but figured I'd check first. Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
During the initial rush, it appeared White was less popular, based on OOS reports. The stuff gradually returned in stock.
[Nexus 5 General] techfanatic9:
I remember getting the UPS shipping label email at around 11PM on the same day as buying the Nexus 4, hope same thing happens with Nexus 5!! :D:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Exel:
I really hope something like this happens to me this time.

With my N4 purchase, I was back-ordered. /:
[Nexus 5 General] niceuser:
Not Nelly but facing a dillema

Hi everyone.

Like most of you I am counting the seconds till I get my new nexus. However, due to a glitch in the play store website I ordered two devices (white 32gb) in separate orders. Both show as leaving the warehouse by 11/5 under their statuses although the order is still pending.

Do you think I should keep the order and try to sell the device online or just cancel the second order? It seems Google is doing a better job this time around with regards to making the device available so I don't think there will be much advantage in trying to resell it, but if I cancel one order and they change the delivery date on the other I will not be happy at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Will any stores carry the nexus 5 like samsclub or Walmart because as sad as it sounds I'm just short that I cant pay the shipping and tax. If one of my local stores gets them then at least I won't have to worry about shipping just the tax.
[Nexus 5 General] DroidRC1:
has anyone with a shipping email called to make sure it shipped?
[Nexus 5 General] 1lazysheep:
32GB Black. says shipping on Nov 8th, but the order is still "Pending" even though i placed it at 2pm CST
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
As has been mentioned many times before, it will say it's pending until it ships.

Remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's number one rule: DON'T PANIC
[Nexus 5 General] derukun:
Okay I made up my mind lol, cancelling the 16 GB black and getting the 32 GB white. $50 for double the memory is something I can't complain about, and I'm thinking it'll arrive faster than the black.

Knowing my luck though right when I order the white one, I won't get it til December. Lol

Right after clicking buy, it says leaving warehouse on 11/26. Still one week better than 12/3
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Nexus five is in Vernon ca! It's getting close!
[Nexus 5 General] BoltActionWaffle:
Ugh, I'm not sure if I should cancel my 32gb Black order and get a 32gb Panda. December 3rd is a stupidly long wait for it to leave the warehouse when I ordered Nov 1 in the Morning, But Black looks much nicer imo.
[Nexus 5 General] M4dRefluX:
It isn't ethical. We wouldn't have to wait if they didn't buy so many in bulk with no intentions in actually using their devices.

Then there are the people who buy from them and pay marked up prices for phones because they don't want to wait. If there wasn't then the scalpers wouldn't bother taking the risk.

I don't care if it doesn't come until January. I would buy an iPhone before I'd buy from a scalper.
[Nexus 5 General] DeXel55:
Good luck with yours! My device that was also in Vernon was stolen :(. Or rather the box was ripped open, and I have everything else besides the phone. Screw UPS!
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Thanks for boosting my confidence in ups :'( lol. I hope I get mine
[Nexus 5 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I found a BNIB 32GB black Nexus 5 on craigslist for $470. So much easier than waiting several weeks.
[Nexus 5 General] DeXel55:
Sorry for messing up your mood :(. I'm very frustrated. Google seems to be good about this though.
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Nah it didn't mess up my mood lol, I hope you get it resolved! Pm me if you ever get a replacement nexus!
[Nexus 5 General] DeXel55:
Make sure that it's not black listed. I just consented to Google's email that I did not receive my phone. Apparently, all phones reported stolen get blacklisted (IMEI?)

I sure will! I guess I'll have to use my i777 for few more weeks...
[Nexus 5 General] FlashedBlaze:
I think ours was on the same shipping order. Is your ETA for tomorrow?
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
That sucks, its horrible that we can't buy anything online without worrying whether or not we will get our package that we spent our hard earned cash on. And from looking at these threads it seems like something needs to be done about it.
[Nexus 5 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
The seller is giving me a copy of the receipt tomorrow morning
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Yeah its for tomorrow:) I can't wait, I'm going to sleep early tonight lol
[Nexus 5 General] iamhacked:
I called Google on why my order appears as declined in my Google Play order status. I got this email response afterwards.

"After reviewing your account, I can confirm that your order has shipped" Is this part of a generic response or is he actually confirming that my order has been shipped?
[Nexus 5 General] Salviikiddd:
Well it seems the 32gb panda really is the way to go. After over a week of waiting for my 16gb, I cancelled my order and ordered the 32gb not even 3 hours ago. My BoA app just gave me a notification for a $437 charge. If I recall correctly, Google states they will not charge me until my nexus has been shipped, correct? I expect a shipping email notification soon lol :D
[Nexus 5 General] DroidDavi:
There's replacement back covers on eBay for 20 bucks so anyone who switched to the panda can still make it black .
[Nexus 5 General] cssacropolis:
Now, If only someone told Google about this during the phone design......I'd be getting my device at same time as the stormtrooper owners.
[Nexus 5 General] njnets123:
How would I get an ETA from UPS for when my phone should come to me
[Nexus 5 General] el_plebillo:
I just ordered a Storm Trooper 32GB, after placing an order on oct 31st, my black one has a "leaves the warehouse by nov 22" estimate, I'll see which one ships sooner and I'll cancel the other.
[Nexus 5 General] teambestyrandy:
Guys chill! Patient is key. Just got mine shipped. Long story short, ordered Nov 1st got email saying I will not be charged until shipped. Today my hold is gone. This morning i checked, it said ships 11/26 2-3 weeks but now i just received an email with tracking number. Be patient grasshoppers!:)
[Nexus 5 General] M4dRefluX:
Which one did you buy?
[Nexus 5 General] :
No luck for me still. :(
[Nexus 5 General] teambestyrandy:
Got the 16gb black location Los Angeles California :)
[Nexus 5 General] Salviikiddd:
Patience?
[Nexus 5 General] Bxsteez:
Are there any remaining first day orders that haven't been shipped?
[Nexus 5 General] erniev:
Haha I did the exact same thing, for the exact same reasons.
[Nexus 5 General] Angrymonster:
16gb white ordered november 5th. Will leave warehouse 12/3/13.... Really Google? It will take you more than a month to process my order? So crazy lol
[Nexus 5 General] erniev:
I'd hate to burst your bubble, but it could just be the hold they put on your card. But here's to hoping that it's not.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
I really hope they release a second batch so these people that buy in bulk can eat their phones for causing us all such delays like these.
[Nexus 5 General] Wilson Leo:

[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
^lol
[Nexus 5 General] M4dRefluX:
I went ahead and canceled the black 32gb order I had on the 3rd as soon as the preauth disappeared, and ordered the white 32gb. Hopefully I'll get lucky but I've might have been a few days too late once it was discovered the white ones didn't sell out.
[Nexus 5 General] k0p4n:
cancelled my black 16gb. buying a nexus7 for my baby sister's grad
[Nexus 5 General] Angrymonster:
For all the people canceling and replacing orders.... It could be your fault for everyone having to wait! Lol jk. Just a thought though, if Google is so backed up with processing orders I'm sure people who cancel and place another order doesn't help the situation. Just something to think about. Google should of been prepared for this. Hopefully mine doesn't actually leave the warehouse on 12/3/13.... Happy waiting everyone!
[Nexus 5 General] can6rxw:
Got mine yesterday morning! Wow... Nice phone! The camera is actually very good, better than any I've used before with nexus.

...sorry for the sideways view. Never realized that till afterwards.
[Nexus 5 General] pens87pgh:
the 32gb version is still there and ships within a day... i figured if they were going to release a new one they would of w/ the N5.

Then again, most of us thought we'd have our Nexus 5 by now....now thats funny!
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Got my UPS out for delivery notification this morning. Gonna be wearing out the F5 button on the MyUPS site today and jet home right quick from work as soon as I get a noticed it was dropped off. Got my SIM 2 days ago and my case and screen protectors arrive today too. Great start for the weekend.

Ordered my black 32gb the 1st or 2nd updated to leaving warehouse the 22nd today, hopefully it comes sooner

Hi everyone!I'm from Italy, Me and my friend ordered a 16 GB black and a 16 GB white nexus 5 on november the 4th, our order says "leaving by the 22nd", do you think we'll have to wait so long before shipping?
[Nexus 5 General] fleabeard:
I have two orders in right now, a 32GB black ordered on 11/4 and a 32GB white ordered 11/7. They both say Leaves on the 22nd.

Maybe if enough people rage quit and cancel their orders, ours will ship sooner! :D:D
[Nexus 5 General] pens87pgh:
Sounds like you'll be getting a shipping notification soon...
[Nexus 5 General] Angelakaro:
Eheheh i think you'll have yours sooner than me, the 32 GB ones have been less ordered than the 16 GB! However i'm wasting my data by refreshing my order page and by watching reviews and news about nexus 5 lol

[Nexus 5 General] pens87pgh:
A quick tip for everyone still waiting for any shipping notification - go to UPS's website and sign up for MyUPS. It's free, and you get instant notifications when a shipping label is created that matches your address. I often get these several hours before i ever see anything from the merchant i bought from. Would especially be helpful now with Google lagging behind getting their system updated to reflect a change in your order status.

After a few phone calls and emails mine finally switched from 2-3 weeks to ship by 11/22. Still far out I'm just glad to see progress
[Nexus 5 General] EfrainTrejo:
Me too actually I ordered two hours after but it says it'll leave the warehouse hoping it will.
[Nexus 5 General] DroidDavi:
Well it looks like alot of us are moving to 11/22 Im just going to ride of out it I don't like white phones and I don't need 32 GB since I live in the cloud and play games on my N7. I got a chance yo play with on yesterday . The few min I had makes me think the wait will be worth it

[Nexus 5 General] #define:
Hola everybody!!

Mine is shipping on 22nd of November according to Google..
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
The names come from vendors and devs in Google Play...they cannot place a preauthorization on an account twice with the same name. In the N4 launch this was determined to be great news and meant your order is preparing to ship!
[Nexus 5 General] ecdy:
Earlier than expected

Delivered earlier than expected, no shipping confirmation had been sent so it was a pleasant surprise..

Ordered 16Gb Black about 8pm Oct. 31, first confirmation said est. del. 3-4 weeks, next day that went down to 2-3 weeks; but last night the device arrived on my doorstep: one week. Surprise! Also a nice surprise that the black N5 is pretty elegant, the matte finish on the back and the curvature of the sides being particularly pleasing; I had expected less from LG.

Happily my inductive charging station (eBay $15) arrived the same day. It works, amazing. Unhappily my case and screen protectors (also eBay) have not yet arrived, so my daily driver is still my One S.

BUT: Pinch to zoom doesn't seem to work--is there a way to turn it on? I know Dolphin has a bug that's preventing it from working in KitKat but I also have problems with GMail and Gallery, so I'm thinking I toggled a hidden or incomprehensible switch somewhere. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] aarif_ziaee:
My status is showing Dispatched from warehouse on 26/11/2013

and pending

what does that mean ????
[Nexus 5 General] johninsf:
This is my situation...I am hopeful that mine will be picked up today by UPS.

Google Shipping Specialist has been a complete joke...giving canned responses and non-answers. The worst is that I don't think he reviewed my order history at all.

When does Google really consider something an issue? Will they act any differently once today is past? (Since it was the "leaves warehouse" date)

UPDATE: Just received UPS shipping update showing Monday 11NOV delivery. UPS label scan took 5 days from creation...Google obviously stuck my label to a phone on the back side of the palette. :)

Onward...
