The all-in-one Play Store orders/shipping/etc thread - Nexus 7 General

Please use this thread for all discussion relating to Play Store shipping dates etc.
(No insult intended to the original OP, this just seems to be about the largest thread on this subject and therefore the best candidate to be turned into a sticky)

Nexus 7s shipping early?
Is it possible that Google might be shipping these things out a little earlier than mid-July? When I did my preorder, it said my card wouldn't be charged until it ships, yet my card was charged today. Hmm...

I see the charge in there but you're right, it may just be an authorization. I guess I'll know if it expires in a few days. haha

I hope they come early. In leave on holiday on the 13th, would hate to know my new toy is at home while I'm away.

Christ, that's EXACTLY what I'm worried about. I'm on vacation all next week and if that thing were to come next week, however slim the chances may be, I may just explode. LOL

Can we all just cross our fingers and hope it comes in early? It's been too long already, am I right?

You are correct sir. It's the one thing that's a bit frustrating compared to Apple product launches. The RMBP was available on day 1 of it's launch.
I think the wait will be worth it for the N7 though.

I'm thinking the 2-3 week window was just a fail safe in the event there is a ridiculous amount of pre-orders and they can't fulfill all of them with the current stock they have on hand.
I'd expect to see these start shipping within a week.
I could also be telling myself this since I'll be going on vacation at the end of july and don't want to lug my laptop or 10 inch tablet around.

I just checked my card and it was charged for me too. $230.40
I hope they are going to be shipped soon!

Mine was charged instantly i checked my bank but it say card charged when dispatched?

I pulled the trigger on the 8gb about an hour ago but haven't been charged yet. I think what theneil said is probably accurate.

I doubt they would start taking orders on such a heavily anticipated item if they didn't have a large stock ready to go, even if they cant keep up with the pace. Many times pre-orders were opened up for some new and exciting item and then there were delays in manufacturing which turned into an endless wait and the company ended up with egg on their face and bad pr. Hopefully Google and Asus have planned accordingly.

They pre authorize you for the device. That secures you one during pre orders. Then charge will fall off. Then once its shipped you'll be charged again.

Nothing on my credit card yet after a midnight rollover. Are you guys that are seeing charges using debit cards?

Yep, a Mastercard debit card.

yep visa debit here money went strait away from my account when i ordered yesterday night but nothing has come back as stated above.

i was also charged as soon as i pre-ordered it yesterday. i hope this thing ships out next week!

Oh man, don't get our hopes up like that. Lol
My life for Aiur

Maybe the ones that have been charged now get it early and the ones who have not been charged get it mid july or later i think they must of had so many in stock and sold out big time.

n7 delivered and your credit card charged: if you have a copy of order cancelation, use it for a chargeback with your credit card company. keep n7.
n7 delivered and you're credit card NOT charged: keep n7.
Good luck!
Let us know if you still got charged!
I tried to cancel my order but Google rep told me it had to be done within 60 minutes. It was nor really an issue because after I had bought a 16gig N7 at Sam's (saving about $20) the monet was not there for them to charge my account.
I called my bank and they told me there would be no nsf fee. No problems as far as I am concerned.
Google should fulfill pre-orders before sending them to retail outlets

Steal N7? People have no morals or ethics. It's disgusting.
The Truth of the matter is Google specifically stated in their terms and conditions of sale that there were no cancellations. As you are unlikely to have cancelled by phone (because they wouldn't let you) you have probably just used the support web page and sent it in. That isn't valid, your order is still good.
Correct way to move forward now is to phone them and request a return which they have said they will do if you have not opened the package.
The important thing to realise is that right now you have the device you ordered. Google's card processing system is catching up. If you have not been charged you you will be soon.

I didn't think they're was a cancel online, I did mine by having them call me, and even the first rep didn't do that right.
Eventually I called back and a different rep said my request to cancel never happened even though the first rep days before said he did it.
Second rep did it again and sent it off to the appropriate people. 24-48 hours later, I received email confirmation including the order number, was cancelled.

In that case you have a good set of history to now request they come at their expense and pick it up and return your money (if charged).
It would be nicer if the delays were not 60 minutes ha as a result of the level of borkedness of this release! Good luck.
If it says it was cancelled, you will probably get a knock on the door from a UPS guy saying that you have a shipping request. You can either a) say no, keep the tablet, get charged or b) give it to him, wait 2 weeks, get a refund from google)
All you can do now is either return the package unopened to UPS (You have 5 days) or sell it on Ebay.

No way he can get less than what he paid for it, they're all selling for a profit now. plus he might get his money faster since google refund will take a couple of weeks. However if he doesn't sell it he's stuck with it.

Thanks for the reply
I contacted google last night and they said that they would send a email regarding shipping however, this has still not arrived. I then proceeded to put a complaint against google for ignoring my request for cancellation of the goods.
I bought this tablet in the UK so regarding googles policy it really does not matter if they stated "no Cancellations" as this wanders into the realms of "goods law" and statutory rights of the buyer.
I have told a friend at work that I have one for sale or return she stated that she wanted it at the cost £170. Shame, though it would have been nice to make enough extra on top for a cheeky pint!
Also forgot to mention I have already purchased the 16 gig variant through HMV at 190 quid. Also TESCO are selling these at 190 with the order number/discount voucher thing of TDX-KPHM if anyone else is interested.
If this is UK and you were charged, send it back under DSR within 7 days and they must refund you.

The worst experience/service I've ever had in my life from Google Play Store

Hey guys just passing along my horror story from the Google Play Store. So I pre-ordered my Nex7 on June 29th cool, got it on July 17th. Opened it up and started charging it. It doesn't accept a charge from the included charger, or so I tried 3 other chargers no go, tried from my computer to the tablet and it lets me access the internal storage like it should but alas, no charging. Factory reset no go, long story short I'm not a Android noob my any means and tried everything because honestly who wants to mail back their new toy? Called support waited on hold for a little over an hour which was expected because I'm sure a ton of people were calling asking where theirs as at so it is what it is. So it gets sent to the "Internal" team for RMA and exchange and they will Email me my UPS stuff. So 4 days later I get the email (July 21st) and I ship it back on the following Monday (July 23rd) and order the new one the same day which the pre-authorized my card for the 249.99 in case I never send back my original makes sense ok. Normally the new one is mailed out in 3 days or so. So Thursday (July 26th) rolls around and Google gets my old tablet and mine still hasn't shipped. So finally on Monday (July 29th) I call to ask if something is wrong or whatever because I still haven't seen anything on my replacement tablet and I get the explanation of it's "Stuck" and the "Internal" team is looking into it. So at that point I'm curious what stuck actually is? I've sent in my old one and it was received and I've ordered my new one with was pre-authorized. She didn't know but assured me I'd get an email VERY soon on it. So fast forward to today (August 13th) I've called once a week to inquire about it and I'm still being polite about it because I've had to work customer service when I was younger and I know these poor people get freaked out on by tons of callers even though they didn't do anything wrong. Today I was told that apparently the ENTIRE internal team was in a meeting until noon today (Right?) and the CSR I talked to today would personally talk to a few of them because it's been 3 weeks since I put in my order for a replacement and it SHOULD take roughly 3 day (I'm not holding my breath).
So basically I'm failing to see the problem here. They received my old one, they've charged me for a new one, but it hasn't been sent. I'm not understanding why it takes 3 weeks to solve this problem on my it's "Stuck" when it should take about 30 seconds to look at my account and see everything is as it should be and send the new one.
On a side note I never activated it on my account so it's not like there's a $20 credit they're trying to sort out or anything it's all about as strait forward of an exchange as you can get. I've already purchased a Nexus 7 from Sams Club (Before mine ever came in the mail) and this one was suppose to be for my girl friend and now she's mad because she loves mine and wants her own. I doubt even if this gets resolved today I'll ever buy from them again and if it doesn't get resolved I guess I'll return it and drive 10 minutes to Walmart and buy one.
Sorry if it seems like a rant but I figured I'd just share my current experience with the Play Store.

he'll wait a long, long time for his money back if he does that. Day 15(in terms of business/working days) since i refused delivery of my tablet and still no refund in sight.
Check this out I have been submitting a return request every monday or tuesday for 3 straight weeks. Absolutely nothing. I hate waiting on the phone but I guess I will have to. Why do they have the form there when they never answer the requests? I'm not picky about customer service but this is terrible.

Ten_fold is correct, it will take 2 weeks to get my money back even though they've had my original device in their hands for a "Pending" exchange for almost a month now. I'm not really picky or anything but this whole thing is pretty nuts. Honestly at my job if I did stuff like this I'm pretty sure I'd be fired pretty quick especially since this isn't even anything special just mail the Fing thing out.

I'm not super stressed about it, but having £168 of my money taken away from me for almost a month, for an item i technically never even received is beyond a joke really.
I refused my order from the Play Store as instructed by Google when they wouldn't let me cancel. A month on and I'm still waiting for my refund.

It's the Google Wallet transaction page.
I had a very similar experience with Logitech, and after I sent a formal written complaint they sent me a free G700 gaming mouse ($100 value).
I'd recommend actually reaching out to Google in a formal and professional manner. See if you can find the email address for a customer service member, or someone a little higher up the food chain.

[Official] Play Store orders & shipping thread!

Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
Below is specific only to the orders from the first day the Nexus 4 was live.
Limbo 1 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 2 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 3 order fulfillment: ~91% (the majority of orders fall into this category)
"fulfillment" = shipped
Above is my educated guess on the status of the shipments that have been going out. I'm constantly tracking this and several other sources for continuing information.
Current status of orders and shipments:
Points below are confirmed:
First major batch shipped Nov 19 (upgraded to Next Day Air).
All orders that took place on the 13th that were back-ordered will be upgraded to Next Day Air for free.
Play Store Customer Service do not have any relevant information about your order. Calling them is nothing short of a complete waste of time.
Orders have not been shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. There is no pattern to the shipments, it is seemingly random. We have indisputable evidence of this.
Addendum to above: It is believed that we are finally going in order. Some of the later orders were shipped first due to an incomplete manifest.
Many people have noticed the last updated date on the Play orders page has changed. No one is certain yet what this might mean.
Points below are likely:
Logistics have been outsourced to UPS.
Order mechanics "slid" during the initial rush of the first few minutes of the product going live. This caused several issues (including an incomplete manifest sent to UPS).
Status of your order (limbos):
1) Order placed. No e-mail of any kind (including order confirmation) received.
2) Order placed. Order confirmation received. No other e-mail of any kind received.
3) Order placed. Order confirmation received. Back-order e-mail received.

Tentative US order time: 09:00AM PST
Changed "confirmed" to "tentative". 09:00AM PST is most likely, but you should be watching out regardless.
These are some of my favorite threads here! We all heard that the Nexus 4 is now official but I'd wager that a lot of us are waiting for preorders to open up on the Play Store.
Post the usual "I ordered!" "It shipped!" etc. here! I, personally, cannot wait for this guy. Just sold my S3 for it.
I did call Google to ask if they were going to open pre-orders for the device. Doesn't look like it this time around, but I was told that you will be able to purchase on November 13th and that stock would start shipping "either on the 13th or the 17th," whatever that means.
Current information (as of Nov 12):
No one knows what time the purchase will go live.
Best guesses are sometime in the morning of the 13th (office hours), or at 00:00 PST. I'm personally leaning toward the former. (NEW: see below)
There will be no pre-order on the Play Store.
Check here for specific country availability.
Check here for more information on shipping and handling for your country.
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.
Taxable charges, if any, depend on what state you're ordering from.
We do not know what shipping options will be available. Right now, only 2-day shipping is confirmed. We are hopeful for an overnight option at launch.
News added Nov 10:
Android Police got a little clarification from Google-- the rep said pretty much exactly what we've been assuming for the past couple of weeks. They also agree with me that the button will be more likely to go live in the morning sometime, rather than at midnight. See source here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/
News added Nov 13:
A German Google employee has revealed that the Nexus 4 should be selling at "around breakfast time" in Germany. He also mentioned that would be about 8-9AM. This would lead us to believe that the order form will go live at 0:00PST as originally anticipated. Germany is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time-- aka, 2AM Central, 3AM EST.[/url]
im guessing on nov 13th but they really didnt say.
From the Play Store:
Coming soon!
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.
I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.

It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.

Anyone else receive a FREE Nexus 4?

I purchased my device on the 13th like everyone else. They charged my account and took the money out. I got my shipping info and tracking info. The phone is currently on it's way to me.
.... but the charges were canceled on my bank account and the money was returned.
Free Nexus 4? Anyone else have this happen to them? Should I have just kept my mouth shut and not let people know? lol

Oh yeaaahhhh sureeee, I can imagine that conversation right now.
ME: "uh, hi Google. You forgot to charge me for the Nexus 4 but you shipped it out to me anyways"
Google: "thanks, we must of missed it. Let me go ahead and charge your account $400"
ME: "thanks!"
Dude, it's just that the authorization timed out. They WILL charge you again for the package. I really doubt that they would give away a free N4 just because they failed to meet the November 15 shipping estimate.
I've also received a tracking number, and no charges are on my card. Is there anyway I can tell if there were pending charges on my credit card that were removed?

Not sure, but for me I had my account charged and the money taken out when I ordered on the 13th. Now that money has been returned and I can't see any history of google charging me or giving me the money back.
It's possible it could of timed out like the person said. But I could be mean and take the money out, then deny googles charges indefinitely to my bank.

You were never charged. It was an authorization HOLD. Your money was on hold (and thus unusable), but was never taken out of your account.
If Google does not take the money out within a certain amount of time (varies from bank to bank; my bank debit card is a couple of days, but my Amex credit card is a full week), that authorization hold expires. Money was not returned to your account because it was never removed from your account. This is perfectly normal, and all that it means is that your bank's authorization hold period is short.
Google will charge your account (and take your money out), probably a few days after shipment.

Not sure, but for me I had my account charged and the money taken out when I ordered on the 13th. Now that money has been returned and I can't see any history of google charging me or giving me the money back.
It's possible it could of timed out like the person said. But I could be mean and take the money out, then deny googles charges indefinitely to my bank.

If they shipped the phone to you, you'll lose that fight.

I purchased my device on the 13th like everyone else. They charged my account and took the money out. I got my shipping info and tracking info. The phone is currently on it's way to me.
.... but the charges were canceled on my bank account and the money was returned.
Free Nexus 4? Anyone else have this happen to them? Should I have just kept my mouth shut and not let people know? lol

Don't worry. No matter how ****ed up this whole process, tons of things ignored, Google will not forget to take money out from your account.

I just called them and told them some orders were not billed. They were grateful for the heads up and said they'd go through all the shipped orders and charge the ones they missed.
For people with long hold periods (or who didn't have to wait as long for shipping), the process will look like this:
1) Order placed.
2) Account authorized, and money is put on hold, unusable.
3) Order ships.
4) Account is charged, the money is sent out, and the transaction is converted from "hold" to "posted".
For people with hold periods shorter than the time it took to ship and charge, it will look like this:
1) Order placed.
2) Account authorized, and money is put on hold, unusable.
3) Hold expires, giving you the false ILLUSION that you are off the hook.
4) Order ships.
5) Account is charged, the money is sent out, and a new transaction appears, but as a completed, posted transaction, not as a pending hold.
Tried this once. Happily spent the money while thinking they are morons. Month later I had debt collectors on my door. Still paying the ****. Got many threatening letters for courts. So dont make this mistake.

A quote from http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411741#US
Shipment lost or stolen
If your device fails to arrive or you suspect it was stolen before you received the package, please email us so we can remotely disable the device and issue a replacement. Google pursues loss claims directly with UPS.

I wonder what that means. IMEI blacklist for accessing Google Play? I'm imagining they won't be trying to blacklist it with TMO/ATT.
I'm assuming if somehow the charge didn't go through for some reason and it's enroute, it'll get "disabled" if you kill that card number before they potentially try to charge it again. Or if they try to charge you before it gets delivered and it fails, they'll have UPS send it back.
They refunded me 2x for my nexus 7 an after that deal pre-order i keep it.

Tmobile online now taking orders

Go to tmobile website and put gear vr in search box and click on gear vr option and order it for 99.99. They did not even advertise that it was available for order. I just ordered mine. I'm thinking first come first serve hopefully, it's sold out everywhere else and tmobile told everyone that they wasn't taking orders till November 27 so order asap.

Any update on your order? I ordered mine on Saturday around 1pm EST, and my order status is still "Being Processed".
Is Best Buy selling these in store? I see it is not available for in store pickup on their website...

Awesome. My order does not even say "shipped" from T-Mobile...it just says "Being Processed" which makes me a little concerned that maybe they got a ton of orders and I won't be getting one any time soon. We'll see.
Did you pick regular shipping, or did you pay for next day shipping? I picked the free 2-4 day shipping.
I noticed that the Gear VR is now listed as out of stock the T-Mobile's website.

I picked next day overnight because the lady offered it for free, so why not? LOL.
Then, the next day (sat) I made a follow up, and for the inconvenience, they gave me a $30. credit!
On top of that, I complained to Best Buy last week because when I went to the store to get more information on the unit, none of the Samsung reps knew anything about it, or would make any effort to look into it in the computer. 3 different reps gave me 3 different "possible" dates.... I say "Possible" because they didn't want to bother looking at the computer. All I wanted to do was place an order in store if possible because I prefer to have my CC scanned in person and not have the number sent off to cyberspace.... all they had to do was take my money and they didn't want to, so I said screw it and called corporate and complained (took 5 minutes) and they sent me a $25. gift card LOL. So, essentially this thing will cost me about $45. in the end.
Mine is still being processed as well, now it's back available for ordering when it said out of stock last night...this tells me there system is screwing up so we may not have anything shipping anytime soon ...chatting now with tmobile specialist...will fill u guys in

Thanks for doing some leg work and looking in to this. I keep hoping for an email with a tracking number, but still nothing.
I did online chat with T-Mobile earlier today, and they assured me I should have it in 24-48 hours, but I am still feeling skeptical. When I look at T-Mobile's website it is still showing as out of stock for me.

So, did you get yours yesterday? If so, what do you think?? Which phone are you using with it?
Starting to feel like tmobile doesn't have anymore stock, no shipping notification yet?

Nope...still no shipping notification. The online chat people are useless too. They just keep telling me I should receive it by the end of the week (i.e 2-4 business days)...but since I ordered it on Saturday, you would think it would have shipped yesterday. That leads me to believe T-Mobile F'd this one up.
Wish I did one day shipping now...maybe it would have helped...but Samsung USA online store said they will be shipping back orders on 30th...I have one with them too...so if both come I will sell one for double on eBay

Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. They sadly just confirmed that it is backordered with no anticipated ship date. What a crock.
The girl said they can get shipments on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that really doesn't help at all.
What a bunch of BS.
