Pre-order through Sam's Club - Don't! - Nexus 7 General

If you pre-order from Sam's Club and then find/buy the Nexus 7 somewhere else, Sam's won't cancel your order!
Their "policy" is that you have one hour to cancel your order!
One hour is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I talked to a Sales Rep. who wouldn't do anything about my order but quote me their cancelation policy. I pre-ordered on 12 Jul with shipping to take place between 20 and 24 July. They probably don't have any in stock but they still won't cancel an order. They also put a hold on the funds with my bank!
Looks like I'll just have to refuse the delivery if they go that far!
Last time I'll ever order something through Sam's Club!

Still sounds much better than preordering from Google Play. No updates. No shipping confirmations. No cancellations other than perhaps refusing the delivery. So yeah, never again.

I preordered on the 28th and managed to cancel my order on the 10th july by sending an email request, then an order status request

This is no different than the Google Play policy.
I realized I accidently ordered the 8Gb model. Called 90 minutes afterwards and they said they couldn't cancel the order since it was over an hour. Even though I was on hold for at least 45 minutes.... I'd have to refuse shipping once it got to my house. So I have two of them coming tomorrow. One of them I have to send back then wait a few weeks for the money.

Are they out of them now? I got mine Friday from Sams Club and they had like 14?

I purchased three from Google but decided to pick three up from Sam's club and one out of the three has all kinds of problem,The screen has yellow bleeding, Dead pixels,The left side of the glass is really loose & the screen flickers really bad but the other two devics are fine. If you decide to go the Sam's club route I would check it out well. Sam's club has a good exchange and return policy so at least that's good and a 1/3 chance you'll get a defective unit are decent odds

Nope. They didn't even know what a one day pass was lol til I showed them their own website. Got lucky I guess. I did have to pay a 6 dollar ewaste fee for some reason.

Nexus 7 shipping in UK - some arrive by Tomorrow 7/13

Just saw this..
Nexus 7 reportedly shipping in the UK from Ebuyer, some orders scheduled to arrive on July 13th
http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/12/3...ly-shipping-in-the-uk-from-ebuyer-some-orders
"the product listing on the site confirms that if you buy within the next eight hours or so you can have it delivered this Friday"
Apparently mine is being picked now, so should hopefully get it tomorrow. Glad I ordered from Ebuyer now!
waiting......
I ordered mine the day after Google IO, seems like I have been waiting forever!
Im a little annoyed we (UK) wont be getting Play Magazines or able to purchase TV shows and Movies
Mine's been getting 'picked' for the last two hours, but the hopeful side of me is maintaining that they've already picked it, packed it, and are waiting for Parcelforce to turn up before they mark it shipped. My truly ridiculous side hopes that the Parcelforce driver will decide to make one last delivery today, just down the road in Hull, at my house, in about an hour:laugh:

Yeah, what that means is - your order number (1 of 25,000) is being picked from a hat to see if you get sent one of the 500 they had or the "sorry your item is out of stock" mail
I hope you do get it, but I have had personal experience with ebuyer and this sort of thing before.
Let us know how you get on later. If you have not had a delay or cancellation mail by midnight, you may be one of the lucky one's

Time will tell I guess! Since no-one else appears to have despatched theirs yet, it does make you think maybe someone pressed the wrong button at Ebuyer HQ as the stock as technically arrived, but possibly not allowed to ship yet.

Back to pre-order.
Mine still says being picked.
Super envious. I went for PC World due to a cashback offer (having previously had it "in basket" at Ebuyer). D'oh! and a thousand times D'Oh!
Oh well good luck to those getting it tomorrow I suppose!!!
Ebuyer dont usually change it from Picked to Shipped until like 9PM+ so if its still saying Picked at midnight then its probably not coming at all.
Mine is saying picked as well. I can't see it coming tomorrow to be honest but I'm happy they are doing the £15 free play credit as well

I'm just getting a stock warning message. Not cool. My impulse buy has given me the opportunity to cancel.

OK, So It shipped from Adorama! (No Nans)

Sorry if this should be in another thread but I think it is important to know as some people may have done what I did...
So I ordered through the Play store when the Nexus first went up on the 27th and I got the 8Gb. At this point, I still have received no communication or final charge from Google. So that sucks!
Anyway, today I saw the Verge post about Adorama getting stock so I figured I take a flyer and place an order for a 16Gb (which is probably better to have than just the 8Gb) and choose overnight shipping - which was like $27 but there was no tax because Adorama is an NY Co and I am in PA. I emailed them to ask if there was any chance it would ship today and I would get it tomorrow, but I never received a reply from their customer service.
I did, however, receive an email that (I think) they sent to everyone who ordered online saying that the Nexus 7 was backordered for 10-14 days and I could cancel, or wait and not be charged until it shipped etc. Well I paid via Google checkout and I was charged immediately after the order and the charge was never removed.
So I figured I would give until tomorrow to see if I hear back from them, so I haven't cancelled the order.
So finally a few moments ago I went to the Adorama site to check on my order status and to my surprise it has SHIPPED! They attached a tracking number and the package is already in route in NJ and should be hear by tomorrow at 10:30AM!!!
What is weird is that I have received no email from Adorama with the tracking info nor has my google checkout (wallet) been updated with the tracking info - it still says "order not shipped."
The moral of the story: If you ordered from Adorama check your order on their website ASAP. And it is every possible that Google Play orders may be shipped already but the Google Wallet info has not been updated.
I won't be on here for long so I cannot answer many questions or post Screenies, but Good Luck and Good Night! :fingers-crossed:
ok
Good luck!
one more thing...
and now I have received and email confirmation from Adorama and by Google Checkout has been updated with the tracking. So it is all going smoothly.... as of now.
Same thing here says it shipped. I will have it by 10:30 am tomorrow....
I did get the back ordered email earlier.

I'm very tempted to cancel my order and get this right now. I have to play an extra $25 for tax cause google is located in california on top of the unexpected 50$ price jump to for the 16gb and I still haven't recieved anything from them eventhough i ordered on the 27th.

Called Google Play - Unreal!!!!!

I called Google Play store and after 45 mins on hold I got through. The guy checked my account and told me that everything looks OK on his end and he does not know why my order was not shipped yet. All I ordered was the Nexus 7, so not sure about the hold up. He said "thank you so much for being patient with us, and I understand the frustration but all pre-orders should be shipped out by wednesday this week. Please be patient and you will get a shipping notice." I asked him if he could somehow push my order through so it gets shipped, he said "no sorry, I can not do that on my end". So now it is just a waiting game. PATHETIC!
I also asked him if he has heard anyhting about pre-order customers getting some sort of a credit for the $20 shipping we paid on our playstore order, he said "that is for the Google upper levels to decide". Very helpful. PATHETIC!!!

It's all caps level "pathetic" that a helldesk phone jokey isn't able to push your order past all the others that are backed up too? Seriously?
Thank you for creating you're own thread for a story we've read over and over. Hopefully things work out for you after Wednesday..seeing how many people have yet to get their pre-orders shipped and most won't recieve it a whole day before wednesday. But I took the time to read your rant. I'm not mad that you wanted to be heard...

8gb or 16gb?
I ordered 16gb on 7/7. Got the same email tonight.
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
Oh, and here is to hope that I actually get it. I noticed after I ordered that the shipping address was different than my billing address but only the city / zip were different. When i first moved in to our home and up to a couple years ago our postal address was one city / zip (we live in the county outside of any city limits). and then a couple years ago the postal service changed us to a different city / zip. One that is technically closer. I immediately contacted google via email and told them of the problem. Street is right, city / zip is wrong. Well, they can't change it. Even though it hasn't shipped yet, and this is what the guy actually said.
Hey Will,
Are you going to be able to retrieve the package from that address. because we can't change the shipping address on that order so we would have to stop the shipment on it.
Regards,
XXXXXX
The Google Play Team
Uh, what part of that address doesn't exist because that street address is NOT in that City / Zip did he not understand?
Sigh, I can only hope UPS is smart enough. Of course I could walk in to staples 5 miles away and buy one tonight if I wanted. With no shipping.
Ordered before July 11th and got this email a moment ago.

Deeeeefinitely not worth the price tag. I would say keep it in the box until they become available, but due to most 30 day polices and all these defects, I'd just as soon hold off on purchasing the device until it's all available at once like it should have been from the beginning.

Just ordered mine too, and i didn't get no notification either! but happy to buy one.
Quick, order 100 and post it on ebay!
They are available in the play store for $20.
Unfortunately the shipping is $10 and you might have to pay tax ($2.17 - GA) for me.
I am disappointed in you google!
