Just got off the phone with CPW as i hadn't had the money taken or a second email.

They charged me over the phone but i haven't received the second email yet.

However the representative on the phone confirmed that they have enough stock for launch day and he seemed adamant that dec 1st was the date.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Hey someone called CPW and they got someone to take the money over the phone and was told that they have enough stock for launch day on 1st December. Might be an idea to call CPW this morning if you can unless you've had an updated email from them?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yea I literally just called them, they are checking with the warehouse to make sure my order is in place correctly, so fingers crossed!

Still haven't taken money from what I can see though
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool. Fingers crossed for you mate
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Just rang back.. Warehouse said that email was sent in error, but my order is absolutely fine and won't be cancelled... Confirmed it was a pre order and will be sent when it comes into stock

So yey! Looks to be all good
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Great stuff. Glad it's sorted now for you!
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:

Plus..I've just checked now and have about £600 of transactions waiting to be authorised. :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah that's the second email that is sent. You won't get another until they despatch the phone. Looking good!
[Nexus 6  General] timlad:
I have to ask are you guys not concerned that CPW and Amazon seem to have a unlimited supply of pre orders and play store sold out in 10 mins ?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Have to admit that it does look concerning that play store isn't open to pre ordering all variants of nexus 6 and that the 32gb midnight blue is flashing on and off. However, there could be a perfectly good reason for this, such as exclusivity like CPW being only one selling the white phone. Notice none of the networks have pre orders directly with them so this could be a perfect explanation for what's going on at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] timlad:
Far point we don't know yet just looks bit odd that they seem to have plenty of every variant where as Google and amazon only offered 32gb Blue, mobicity and CPW are offering all variants with limitless stock it would seem
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
It's been odd from the beginning really. Google didn't hold a press conference or event to release the nexus 6 and 9, they didn't send any form of communication in America ahead of opening pre orders on the US play store, the stock disappered very quickly and the networks there are either starting to take orders or pushing back their own release.

Exact same is happening here but I have an strong feeling about CPW exclusivity for all variants and colours. Not sure how MobiCity or handtec got it to be honest as handtec selling the 64gb for an extra £50 but searching on the MobiCity site shows coming soon so that could have been a preemptive release and all stock on handtec either is coming soon or out of stock.

It's been an absolute shambles, no communication from Google whatsoever, no press or blogs on the release in UK and Europe or any definite dates.

N6 + Moto 360 on Vodafone

I was all up to jump ship from my Vodafone at the end of my contract this month to get the N6 on all you-can-eat from Three (on or off contract didn't care) then Vodafone sprung a surprise: Blue 32Gb N6 with free Moto 360 with the first 500 orders. Got in there last night. Can't tell if they've gone past their 500 now but an adviser did confirm to me that I had qualified for the offer.

Be interesting to see if anyone else has managed to bag that deal.

D
[Nexus 6  General] timlad:
still its only a phone :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Quite a good deal to be honest. No advertising though so didn't know until you mentioned it.
[Nexus 6  General] dominicjh:
Typical Nexus stealth release although its been picked up by a few news feeds now and it has actually found its way onto Vodafone's front page..

It's all pre-orders though with delivery around 5th December.

D
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
See that's the weird thing as well, no one has the same release/despatch date as the other. Google play 3-4 weeks, Amazon 16th December, CPW 1st December and now Vodafone 5th December. Talk about confusing! All other manufacturers give a specific date for release and it works great but Google, no where to be seen!
[Nexus 6  General] dominicjh:
Well I guess that's the issue. Google ain't a manufacturer. They have contracted with Motorola to build the phone and if past experience is anything to go by they haven't signed up for a huge number at first. I could see a scenario where they want each vendor to have a reasonable supply when they got them so staggering release dates could make sense.

D
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah that's what I read when it started in America but you'd think Google would say something. Motorola have said anything either. When Motorola put the nexus 6 on the US site it sold out within minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
Thanks I'll check to see if the money's gone or not.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
So the money still hasn't been taken from my account, but I think it's processing as my balance and 'available balance' differ by £549!
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
That's the same as mine.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
Let's keep everything crossed then! I've never been in a position where I want that much money to be taken from my bank account so much haha!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Checked with my bank too and yes there is a £499 from CPW on hold, but hasn't left the account yet
[Nexus 6  General] meletios:
How much stock did CPW/Amazon order ? really strange that there pre-orders pages are still up whereas Google/Vodafone are allowing limited pre-orders.

or else if its a question of provisioning stock based on pre-orders then why does Google Play limit pre-orders.

Barring the two scenarios above, its seems a really brave move if CPW did secure so much ( a lot?) stock so early in the game.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out, as in who starts the actual shipping first.

The only other item I ordered on the day of release was Nexus 10 via Google Play which I must say was delivered on time, also good customer service as well when I needed to replace the tablet at the time.

I ordered (blue/64) with CPW this time , just hope there are no nasty surprises.
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
I just rang CPW as I had a different second email to the some of the other people on here, they stated payment has been taken this morning and you will get the Nexus 6 when we first get them in. Strange how emails differ from e-orders!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Think of it this way it makes more sense to sell more of every colour and storage options through cpw as they deal with all the main carriers

Plus all the phones sold in cpw come unlocked as standard
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
I just rang Vodafone who I have been with for the last 16years, Due upgrade on Sim Only at present as used to have Nexus 5. They offered me nothing!

Sorry sir Nexus 6 is not in stock please ring back in a couple of weeks... :( How did you get this deal of Nexus 6 + moto360
[Nexus 6  General] Altrezia:
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/contracts-and-deals/google-nexus-6-4g

Here is the link for the 360 deal, matey.
[Nexus 6  General] FazCapone:
Just rang now and got the same message. Hopefully all is smooth and it comes on the 1st!
[Nexus 6  General] Scottatron:
Handtec are advising stock is arriving by the end of the month, to be sent in first week of December.
[Nexus 6  General] meletios:
Yes, I ordered the sim free version, should be unlocked by default.

Just the wait now.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah I'm sat twiddling my thumbs and watching paint dry for nearly 2 weeks too mate the wait is killing me :D
[Nexus 6  General] doodalon:
Anyone here order from CPW and had a delivery to a different address?

I placed mine and delivered it to a different address, I then got an email today stating that the order was cancelled.

I phoned them up trying to sort it out, though they said it's getting rejected internally, not due to a banking issue, because it's being sent to a different address to the billing.
[Nexus 6  General] jeux_1:
that is bs, I am getting mine delivered to my office. Anyway, what you do is get it delivered to your home address then cole in a week to get the address changed, I did that when I ordered something else few weeks ago. Maybe I got lucky but there you go. good luck.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
That's a bit strange. I phoned up after placing my order to change it to my work address and changed it over the phone with no issues so far.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Ordered yesterday and used office address to delivery, no problem at all.

Got a confirmation email and money are on hold.
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
Google play store still says 16th Dec, Surely Google would be the 1st to receive and ship out. Im just hoping its a placeholder date which would mean i get it at the same time as every one else
[Nexus 6  General] Yszero:
Just need to wait and we will see the result.:)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Coincidentally that's the same date that Amazon are giving which does make things even more confusing.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Actually Amazon says 15th, so each one has a different date lol
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
What is CW number to call for finding out order status?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I rang 0114 452 2000
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

This number aint working. I tried to call it and a recording plays saying "you were called by cw" and then disconnects.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
My bad , thats what they called me back on .. .this is the one i rang 0114 452 2999
[Nexus 6  General] FazCapone:
I rang this: 0370 111 6565

The guy found out my order status pretty much straight away
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Didn't receive the order acceptance email so I chased CW and they sent a confirmation immediately. So guys, if you are still waiting for the order acceptance email, call em and chase up.

Please do not reply to this email
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Hm i rang them and they said it was all good but didn't get that email
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Lol one day out!
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Demand it bro!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Your money been taken?
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Cannot see that on my card yet, but the email confirms it so I am hoping that the statement will show the payment eminently
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Did you use debit or credit card? Debit seems to have the funds taken from the available balance and put on hold for payment to complete when the order is despatched and it'll be at that point it will show on your statement but credit card will probably only show one the physical charge has been placed on the card which you'll see on your statement.
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Used American express. Can call them up later to confirm. Will confirm later.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah they should be able to confirm that charge. Just work differently on credit cards than on debit cards where the funds are taken straight away (on hold).
[Nexus 6  General] trashpants:
If it makes you feel better I'm exactly the same boat - I called them up asked for an email so I can have a paper trail and the guy on the end of the phone just told me that he couldn't force one through and that my order was definitely in place and secured. He said the next email I should get would be when they have picked the device and are ready to ship
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
I am not really worried to be honest. If I dont get it on the 1st of Dec, it will be soon after anyways. I am not anxious to be one of the first people in the world to use it. Its just a phone as someone said earlier in the thread :)
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
just called cpw too and asked for that email.. I don't think the email means anything.. wonder how many back orders they have..
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
All of them are in back order since they don't have it in stock
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Did ya get it?
[Nexus 6  General] Altrezia:
Just had my order cancelled from CPW - :(

I was a victim of identity fraud earlier in the year, and they claim that I cannot order from them now, despite being the victim and not the scammer. Urgh!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
That stinks mate I'd keep pestering them
[Nexus 6  General] dodgydave100:
Hi all. I'm waiting....and waiting for Google to put the white models up for sale but there's no indication if or when that will happen. I'm now looking to buy from CPW. I have a question that i hope someone can answer.....are the boxes that are despatched from CPW sealed or do they arrive with the seals broken like they do in the shop (i assume to check the contents are all present and correct). I have a thing about receiving stuff that has obviously been opened or tampered with in any way so i would prefer a properly sealed box. So, are the boxes from CPW sealed. Thanks for any help anyone can give.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Yup I did.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Oh I see. Makes sense
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I think as long as they have deducted the amount from your bank account's available balance or your credit card company can confirm the charge, you can rest knowing that your order was processed. Like CPW told me, when the stock arrives and your order has been allocated a phone, you'll get the despatch email.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

I got my galaxy s4 from CPW last year and had that delivered to my home address and it was sealed. They have unsealed boxes in store as sometimes they use the phone as extra models to show prospective customers. The model in the actual store sometimes has a demo on it or you can't test certain things so they open a brand new box. Also they could be boxes that have been sold and returned to the shop and they've kept the phone to sell on.
[Nexus 6  General] deaglecat:
I have a feeling that the CPW and Amazon pre-orders are pretty speculative.

the amazon one says that dates may change.

CPW are hardly known for customer service.

this all looks a bit like getting orders and then sorting out how to fulfil them later.

for that reason, amazon win for me... if the order is delayed then I can cancel with absolutely no hassle and don't have to deal with CPW customer service (or google's for that matter).

Deag
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
Been getting annoyed with CPW as I finally received my email saying my order had been accepted only for me to then receive an email saying there had been a problem with the payment. Yet I'd already checked earlier with them if it had gone through due to the lack of second email & was told the payment had.
[Nexus 6  General] jeux_1:
It will be sealed.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
CPW just sent me another email.. its the same as the one they sent me before when i requested it.. Seems its a bit different from the ones you guys are getting?....
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
I got this one, rang today and all is well. I would ring and check to be sure!
[Nexus 6  General] jonsmith709:
Just told them I wanted to pre order it, they didn't know I could but checked online. Then all sorted in 30 mins.
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
On the google play website midnight 32gb is out of stock so does that mean it came in stock and sold out? The white is coming soon. Has anyone successfully bought from play store?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah the 32gb midnight blue came in stock for like 5 minutes or less on 18th some point after 6pm but since then it's been flicking between our of stock and on sale for like a millisecond then back into out of stock. To be honest I don't think anyone would have managed to get one unless they were monitoring the site like a hawk. The other models, which are 64gb midnight blue and 32gb/64gb white have not come on sale at all and have stayed on "coming soon".

Most of us here have bought from Carphone Warehouse as they have both 32GB and 64gb models and in both colours for despatch on 1st December. Play store says 3-4 weeks and the few that did manage to purchase the 32gb midnight blue say the despatch given is 16th December.

Amazon have the 32gb midnight blue only for despatch on 15th December.

Carphone Warehouse apparently have exclusivity to the white models.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Checked my bank account , money has actually left the account now it looks like
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
No one should be given exclusivity. Just seems so wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I know but it happens and with Carphone Warehouse having access to all networks for contracts purchases or upgrades would have probably been the thing that tipped in their favour when talking to Google.
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
Is there a pushbullet or another service that exclusively monitors the 64GB?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah it's at this link:

https://www.pushbullet.com/channel?tag=uknexus6stockcheck

It monitors both the nexus 6 models and colours on the Google play store
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
I have now received both emails from CPW and the money has been lifted out of my credit card! I am all good to go for the 64gb white version. Very happy man I am. :D :D :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
Thanks, I have that, but it seems to only be triggered by the 32GB stock. At least these are the notifications I've been receiving.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I still haven't had the 2nd email so I've just phoned again order has definitely gone through money taken and next email sent will be to say that the phone is on it's way

So don't worry too much if you don't get that 2nd e-mail
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah i wouldn't worry about the 2nd email , i haven't got it either but the money (£499) is no longer in my account.... Kinda funny how we are all so excited to see £400-£550 leave our accounts isn't it lol
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
I got two emails confirming the order is accepted. Money take for one phone though. Fingers crossed
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I know what you mean mate relieved but at the same time disappointed to see it disappear lol

I'd better start saving for the next one lol
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah the 32gb midnight blue version is the only one that has had any change in status on the play store. The others have stayed as "coming soon" since they were listed on the play store. There's been no change in those options. That's why the push bullet alert had only alerted you on the 32gb
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
That's what I thought I knew as well but I read somewhere that the 64GB was put on sale for like a minute. Someone got probably confused.
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
Does everyone who has preordered through CW believe that they will meet Dec 1st?

I just find the whole thing very vague and will be really surprised if those who preordered will have what they ordered come Dec 1st.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah none of the other ever came on sale, which is quite confusing really. Like others have mentioned, you'd think Google play store would release all the variants at the same time rather than trickling one variant. Notably, Motorola doesn't have any mention of the nexus 6 on their UK site!
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
It is quite confusing isn't it especially that the 64GB sold out in a few European countries already like Spain, Germany and Italy according to some articles I read and to http://storechecker.io/?type=n6_64gb_blue. They also had the 32GB white version on sale as well. It may have to do with stock logistics as I think last year there were two warehouses the N5 was shipping from, one was in Ireland and the other in the Netherlands. It could also have to do with the distribution networks available in each country and hence these differences. Anyway and as usual things will happen and we'll never know the reasons.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I read that too. And yes you're right, we will never know what Google are thinking. The logistics of it all is embarrassing really but yet we will still buy and use the phone when we get them. I know Google aren't the manufacturers but surely they would work closely with Motorola to ensure sufficient stock of each variant is available in each warehouse rather than scattering them like you would do with pebbles when you throw them up in the air and they drop where they drop. Why can't Motorola ensure sufficient stock and why would Google allow this to happen? Wouldn't it be in their contract to ensure a certain amount of stock is available for pre order and release? Again, questions we'll never know the answers to. Does Google not learn from previous years? The nexus phones aren't new phones where you would quite rightly be cautious about how many phones are built to allow you to test the market. Couldn't Google look at sales from last year to present and see how many nexus 5's were sold to calculate the bare minimum stock for the nexus 6? I mean OK, Amazon made a right mess of their phone and built loads of stock which are now all sat in the warehouses and they've lost millions, but Google's nexus is tried and tested and likeable to many across the globe. Hmm, very very confusing.
[Nexus 6  General] nc35:
The more I think about it Google may be playing the same game as the poison fruit company. Create a demand through hype and "selling out" in moments. All makes for good headlines for their new "premium" device.

Or it could just be Motorola with the Lenovo switch has complicated the release.

I still wonder if the LG G3 was actually designed as the N6 until Lenovo with their considerable wealth acquired Motorola with their version of the N6 as the sweetener.

But we may never know.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Or CPW have a two week exclusivity deal which could explain the difference in shipping dates?
