I know that feel. Last year, I ordered the Nexus 10 within minutes of sales going live. There were people who ordered their tablets DAYS after I did and received them in the mail before mine shipped.

I got the shipping confirmation email today for my Nexus 5. Probably ordered it within a couple hours of it going live. It had a status of "Leaves warehouse by November 8, 2013". I wasn't expecting it to ship until late next week so I'm fairly happy with this experience so far compared to last year.
[Nexus 5 General] donkeyhitman:
I think that the orders are randomly spread out to various employees for processing and we're ( I ordered my at 2:01:28 EDT) stuck with the slackers. :(
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
That's why this year, we're "The Shafted", damned for ordering first shot out of the gate.

Google: Oh, you placed an order in the first five minutes? Let me just move you to the back of the line...
[Nexus 5 General] hackdisk:
If it's of any help, my phone has been sitting in Louisville since Friday 1pm-ish :laugh:

But I opted for two-day and the eta is Monday, so I'm pretty sure it would come on Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] msponsler:
Mine is sitting in Philadelphia PA since Saturday afternoon....a mere 100 or so miles away... Delivery is set for Monday
[Nexus 5 General] Galactic2:
Ordered 413pm EST on launch day. Got a ship by Nov. 8 message. Received my shipping number at 842 am (EST) today. Hurrah. Probably wont get it till Tuesday or Wednesday.

Tracking hasn't been updated.
[Nexus 5 General] KerryWood34:
My phone just shipped. I placed my order on the 31st at around 2:30 pm CST (Wisconsin). Ordered the 32GB black version. It should be here Tuesday.
[Nexus 5 General] droid512:
Mine still says leaving the factory in 2-3 weeks :(

I ordered 32gb white yesterday. Moving from the skyrocket, owned G1>Nexus 1> xperia> Gnex
[Nexus 5 General] donkeyhitman:
I'm sure that you're aware of the silver lining in this right?

Just like last year, I also felt like that I got shafted cuz I saw people who ordered after me got their N4s before me. Knowing that fueled my anger cuz it was blantantly unfair. Then I realized that those who got their phones early couldn't really do anything with them anyway cuz developments were at the early stages. I have to keep reminding myself of that experience to keep me sane this time around.
[Nexus 5 General] ctbear:
I am not claiming to know how Google and UPS handle orders, but for this volume of orders (especially on the launch day) I can't imagine they are not using some sort of batch processing. Different batches are probably sent to UPS in parallel, meaning that while your order might be placed early, your batch might arrive at UPS at the same time as/later than other batches. I am talking about software here, not human effort.

I understand it can be frustrated seeing others getting their tracking info, but we just gotta be patient. This happens to any big launches, iPhone, Nexus, both the same.
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
Yeah that's a positive way of looking at it.

Honestly, I'm not hurting right now. I've got a Nexus 4 that works great running 4.4 right now. Some folks aren't so lucky though and they're getting shafted too. It's the principle that frustrates me, not the fact I don't have my phone, because waiting isn't a problem to me.

I feel that for a big launch like this, they should have put a priority on serving customers based on their order time. That's the logical way to handle it.

I feel really bad for the folks that might be in a similar situation that have already sold their phone and are using an old backup or are stuck on an old phone because they had their hopes on upgrading.
[Nexus 5 General] njnets123:
16 gig white, also leaving the wearhouse in 2–3 weeks
[Nexus 5 General] caribouxda:
You mean having this phone makes sense only if you just flash anything offered?
[Nexus 5 General] Sully6789:
Ordered my 32GB White a little late on the 31st, at 5:20 PM PST with a 3-4 week shipping time. Just got a shipping confirmation this morning. Much better than last year I have to say :D
[Nexus 5 General] ceo.mtcl:
Delete the image immediately. It has sensitive information about your order like shipping details and order number.

I also got this email today... . I ordered black 32 gb @ 2 or 3 pm cst on 31st with original ship date of 8th Nov. Shipped today.
[Nexus 5 General] killakarl:
Was a little bit later around 8:30 and still at 2-3 weeks. In Pittsburgh.
[Nexus 5 General] touchfan:
Same for me, ordered a 32 GB Black around 7:00 PM CST said 2-3 weeks on the order page. Just got a shipping confirmation today.
[Nexus 5 General] untalented893:
Frustrating, still on ships by the 8th and no shipping info. They're not even going by the groupings they setup let alone the order people placed their orders
[Nexus 5 General] lafester:
Really thats not logical at all. With thousands of orders they need to ship them in batches based on where ups is going next. Ups is not going to pick up a trailer full of product going all over the us at one time... that would slow everyones delivery time significantly. On top of that you have payment issues, computer issues, human error and stock availability to deal with.

Really anyone complaining at this point BEFORE their expected ship date is just being juvenile. Google deserves a ton of credit for getting these things out EARLY and not making us wait a month after announcing to even begin the process.
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
I'm guessing you've received your shipping confirmation then?
[Nexus 5 General] bilbo6209:
Ordered 3:58 on 10/31 2day shipping, just got shipping confirmation (not in ups system yet, but it is Sunday ;)) so I'm hoping to have my phone in hand Wednesday evening :)
[Nexus 5 General] jaypr9:
If it worth anything....

Order date: Oct 31, 2013 2:17:43 PM EDT

Got a tracking # late Friday night. I chose reg shipping so it should be here by Wednesday heading to Northeast.
[Nexus 5 General] larryg2k3:
I ordered black and white 32GB, on different orders (white later in the day since I decided I wanted to see both to decide which I wanted). White shipped...nothing about black. Grr.
[Nexus 5 General] markwebb:
My experience with UPS is they usually update their tracking info very very late Sunday night into early AM Monday.

Like everyone else, am anxious but knows it will come.

In the meantime, I have been using my spare time reading all of the Nexus 5 threads, reviews, commentaries etc to familiarize myself with the phone ahead of time and prepare for when the phone does arrive so I know how to root, etc.

Patience! :)
[Nexus 5 General] bilbo6209:
Well being that I used to work at UPS as an unloader and as a package sorter, yes they do get trailers full of packages going all over the county/world at once. I used to unload a 52' trailer a few times a week from a wail order company and the packages would be going to every state in the US.
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
You know he did otherwise he'd be saying the same as you and everyone else who is getting shafted.

Sent from the other side of the Milky Way with my S4.
[Nexus 5 General] Cotw:
Ordered 10 minutes after launch, 32gb white plus a gray cover. Confirmation email received almost instantly, order still pending, no shipping email. I chose standard shipping though (no 2-day shipping).

Same issue as last year with the N4. First orders are processed last, it seems. I don't mind too much though. As long as I get it before Christmas it's fine by me.
[Nexus 5 General] tongjia19:
Ordered 2 Black 32G 10 mins within launch, still haven't even got a confirmation email!! Yes, not even the order receipt!! Contacted Google support but they've been as powerless as they can be.. This is so sad and frustrating.....
[Nexus 5 General] steezc:
I ordered the 32gb white on Oct 31st at 730pm. Just received am email this morning that it has been shipped. Got to check tomorrow morning to see what the stats...
[Nexus 5 General] lafester:
Were these trailers from one company sending out thousands of the same item?
[Nexus 5 General] TheDudeAbides:
Couldn't resist to purchase through Sprint. Just super pissed sprint isn't offering the 32gb yet.
[Nexus 5 General] killakarl:
Update: just got shipping email...they are on it. Was 3-4 weeks got bumped to 2-3 weeks and shipping email today.
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Sweet! When did you order it?
[Nexus 5 General] killakarl:
Halloween at 8:30pm.
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Ah OK. I'm just wondering if I were to order mine today, I would have similar fate.
[Nexus 5 General] killakarl:
I wish you the best. You're a flashaholic anyways. You will pass the time quickly. I've seen you in all the s4 threads....lol.
[Nexus 5 General] rayoubi:
yay mine shipped.
[Nexus 5 General] Bombn:
Ordered 12:39:50 PM PDT 10/31 .

White 32gig.

Initially stated ships by Nov 8th.

Got shipped email and tracking number at 5 AM this morning (Sunday, Nov 3) I picked 2 day shipping. No info yet on ups tracking site but have tracking number.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
Have you guys read the first impressions on battery life? It's not as good as the G2. I wonder if many people will regret buying this phone?
[Nexus 5 General] WhackyPlague:
Anyone who was expecting battery life to be as good as the G2 wasn't paying attention.
[Nexus 5 General] trebills:
I'm using a Verizon gnex with a cracked screen and it gets about 2.5 hrs of battery life per full charge. Is it better than that? El oh el.
[Nexus 5 General] Galactic2:
For people that ordered OEM bumpers from the Google Play store... are they shipping as of yet?
[Nexus 5 General] bilbo6209:
The specific trailers I remember were from Department 56,they were all little ceramic light up houses alot of people use for x-mas deco, so the boxes were pretty much the same exact size and shape and going every where in one trailer.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Hopefully people will read the reviews and cancel their orders. Helping me get mine faster than 2-3 weeks lol.
[Nexus 5 General] KerryWood34:
The G2 has a 3000maH battery while the Nexus 5 has a 2300maH battery. I am hoping that the improvements made in KitKat and the Snapdragon 800 chip helps with the battery life. Will find out some time this week when I receive my phone and am able to use it a couple of days.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
Well, they both have the same processor and the battery size on the N5 is smaller than the G2 so I thought battery life would be slightly inferior. G2 has a kind of heavy ui skin on top of Android 4.2.2 so I assumed the lack of bloat on the N5 would make battery life somewhat equal.
[Nexus 5 General] larryg2k3:
Sweet - just got my second shipment notification. Ordered a Spigen Ultra Hybrid to go with the color I like best when they arrive :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Wow Incredible! :) Shipped notice!! 1x16gb black. Pending originally said 3-4 weeks, then said 2-3 weeks, and now its shipped!!! :cool:

shipped

Just got my shipping notice...Ordered two; one 16gb black and 16gb white (wifey+me). I ordered 1:43PM Central time. Usually when I get shipping notice from Google, I get stuff delivered following day so maybe tomorrow is a possibility. If not, Tuesday than. I paid 3-5 business days, live in Chicago suburb. I was getting pissed all weekend because I keep seeing people getting their shipping notices but mine finally came through. Be patient my friends :) Also, my play store account still shows black as leaving by Nov 8th and white as pre-ordered, lol. But when I click on details, both showing as shipped. Already got screen protector, case coming on Thu..in the meantime, phone is on house lockdown and wi-fi, rocking my N4 (both of us) and my old gangsta HD2 running, well probably close to its 50th ROM :)
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Alright. I caved and ordered mine today. I'll update everyone on shipping updates. I'm crossing my fingers that is less than 2 weeks.

[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Has anyone else placed an order and had their phone shipped to an address other than the billing address? I'm trying to get mine delivered to my office instead of my home as I won't be there to sign for it. Sometimes vendors can be a PITA in regards to doing this.
[Nexus 5 General] mkenya4t:
Doesnt seem like there's any luck for the most of the 32 GB Black orders, especially those after 1:30 CDT. :crying::crying:
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Nice!
[Nexus 5 General] guapinoy:
Got my shipped email too! White 32 GB ordered 11/1.
[Nexus 5 General] markwebb:
Yes..with amex and no issues.
[Nexus 5 General] rjyanj:
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm doing and I've received my shipping confirmation. Funny, I actually used an incorrect (old) billing address for my Visa, but it still went through without a hitch (so it seems.)

This is how I do all of my Amazon Prime purchases and I've never had an issue, FWIW.
[Nexus 5 General] Monk4Life:
Ordered my 16gb black at 230 CDT on launch day with standard shipping and just received my shipping notification.

White 16GB ordered 10/31 (47 minutes after launch); 2 day shipping

Got a shipping notice at 5AM (no tracking label yet)

I'm under the impression that the 2 day shipping folks might get their phones tomorrow
[Nexus 5 General] kd8cgo:
16GB Black back in stock for the Nov. 8th shipping date - cool! Still no SIM card size in the official spec though, maybe they should put a link to the Reddit AMA... :o

Guys are your order status showing as pending, does that mean that the order was successful ? I can see the delivery date from the warehouse to be 5/11 ... Is this of a concern ?
[Nexus 5 General] stuartmc:
I would agree with you except the fact that my account shows pre-authorizations by showing a difference between my "current balance" and "available balance." If current balance was $386.81 higher than my available balance (the exact amount for my delivered N5), that would mean that Google has a pre-authorization hold on that amount. That is not, however, the case. The amounts are the same, so the funds have left the building just like Elvis.

The launch went much much smoother than Nexus 4. Good job Google! :)

Nexus 5 Order

Ordered my 32 GB Black. Got my email. Chose 2 day shipping. Maybe Google will ship tomorrow, or by Monday. It does say ship by Nov. 5,2013. Now wish they get the Desktop charger, Car Mount like the Moto X. At least bring back the Wireless charging orb, did not see it. The Nexus 5 cases look nice .

Black 32GB ordered 5 minutes after launch w/ 2 day shipping. Received shipping notification email at 10 pm on 10/31. My UPS status updated this morning showing my device in AZ and is on schedule for delivery tomorrow!

[Nexus 5 General] V.Dragos:
ordered mine (32gb black) trough a friend of a friend of my brother after a facebook post requesting help in buying the phone. Will ship 22nov and will arrive to it's new home somewhere in december.. it sucks not having play store devices in your own country.
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
That's my frustration too...
[Nexus 5 General] mssam:
Wow. This is unbelievable. I just got my shipping notification. Ordered the 32gb black on Oct 31 @ 430pm cst. Only difference here is mine ships by Nov 15th with 3-5 business days. I wonder if this means the orders placed later in the afternoon or evening are starting to ship?
[Nexus 5 General] duckied:
I order my Nexus 5 at 3:20 Central Time on 31st, received my shipping email this morning at 7am going to Chicago.
[Nexus 5 General] HRodMusic:
naw i was one of the first people to order on release, Nov 8th batch... no confirmation nothing, its stressful.

i just got off the line with a google rep, they told me my phone was getting ready to get shipped tomorrow, so im expecting a delivery by no later than Nov 6 since i chose the best shipping possible. lady said i should receive my email by tomorrow, she almost guaranteed it. so hopefully this helps some of you.
[Nexus 5 General] cas8180:

It will get there. Keep the faith.

OK just got ups update: says label created today which now means delivery is probably Wednesday since the confirmation originally said it would leave by 11/5. I chose 2 day delivery.

I had mine shipped to my office even though the billing address on the card I used with Google Wallet is tied to my home address. I didn't have any issues with this last year with the Nexus 4 and didn't have any issues with it this year wit the Nexus 5. Just received my shipping email today too!
[Nexus 5 General] thebz1:
I ordered on 10/31 2:26pm EST and I got my shipping confirmation on Saturday morning at around 5am and the UPS website just updated to "Order Processed: Ready for UPS." It also says, "Label Created On: 11/04/13" which is a little weird considering that it's only the 3rd...
[Nexus 5 General] noobdeagle:
So annoyed ordered two nexus 5's one 16gb and one 32gb. both were available when i ordered and said the same for shipping 1-2 d days, yet the 16gb says pre-order and the 32gb says ships by 5th.

called google about it said that they have no stock left of 16gb and the 32gb wont go out till the 16gb is ready WTF! sat up all night and ordered before a friend and his comes tomorrow and mine has not even shipped yet. not very happy.

hopefully ill get shipping in the next couple days.
[Nexus 5 General] Battleship:
Heh! That's what it says for me, too.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, trying to keep it together but don't understand why I have received nothing yet.

[Nexus 5 General] GSLEON3:
My first order was for 2 black 32 GB, 2 White 32 GB & 2 black 16 GB. It was 3 minutes after launch & all. Shipped on the 31st. My second order was 2 white 16 GB & 2 black 16 GB, 43 minutes after launch. Those had a "leave by Nov 8" date, yet they left on Nov. 1st. Ground on the first to Dallas Tx & 2 day on the second order, all are shipped with a Tuesday Nov. 5th delivery schedule. Go figure.

I had a script running to check sites & notify me of release, only 3 are for me, rest are family and Xmas gifts.
