Some hope for us Canadians re: ups refund - Nexus 7 General

If you ordered your Nexus 7 from Google Play, you paid $19.99 for 2-day shipping.
But many (if not all) Canadian customers had whose Nexus went out this week had their packages shipped UPS Standard.
I sent e-mails yesterday and today, and didn't hear back, so I finally called tonight. I had to wait 25 minutes to speak to someone, but when I did, he was friendly and nice. Looked into it, said it was a fluke, and told me they'd issue a refund.
A $10.50 refund just appeared in my Google Wallet account. Not exactly what I'd been expecting, but I suppose it's better than nothing.
If your package was shipped UPS Standard, I recommend calling.
The above was from another web site that someone else posted.
I called the main Google number, 1-855-83NEXUS and spoke to the front line worker who stated he knew nothing about the switch to standard delivery but created a ticket and forwarded it on to the powers that be. This is the same route the other person had happen. I will update later if i also get the credit.

A partial refund of the $20 Canadian shipping isn't acceptable when they've shipped weeks late to Canada.

how do you request a refund for shipping?

I just called and basically I told them that my shipping wasn't the 2 day shipping on the website and that it was UPS Standard instead.
Basically they said they'd put a request for reimbursement and said i'd hear back with them in about a week.

Not a word from them after the Initial call. Then received an email on the 4th day about the full refund. Email will not work as they do not reply to them, you have to call. They will ask you for your email account you used to order it from ie: gmail and will respond back to that account.

I was afraid of that... I think I'll wait for the rush to die down a bit then get on the phone

I just called that number and was told they couldn't refund as they had no tool to do so but they would put a note on my file. Was told to go to the play . Google . com and get to my order through Google wallet and ask for a refund of the shipping. Hope it works.

That's exactly right the front line worker can not do anything, he passes it on to the specialist and they look at it. Once it has been determined that there was a shipping error you will receive an email from them.

Well I just called Google Play and he pretty much said that they are aware of the issue and instantly started the process to credit my account. Good thing I saw this thread - I admit I was a little perturbed that I didn't get my 2 day shipping but I was going to let it slide. Now I'll get a small refund.

"aware of the issue" as in they'll start refunding all of us soon, or should I still call in?

the csr never forwarded me to any specialist just saying that he will put a request note for me..will try to call again to follow up next 3 days

Oh I doubt that they will retroactively go back and credit everyone....only for the people that actually call in and complain. So I definitely would place the call and request a refund of the difference. I had mentioned to the person that it shipped as UPS Standard and that I paid for 2 day (wasn't much of a choice when ordering) and he said that there was some glitch somewhere and started the refund process of the difference. Didn't have any issues.

I just called the hotline that OP posted and explained to them the same thing. They said they need to forward my issue to the "shipping team", and I'll get an e-mail in a few days with a final decision as to what they will do about my request for a refund (of the shipping).

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.

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.

To those who rejected their parcel - refunds?

Hi guys,
I know a fair few of us have rejected their parcels because we were unable to cancel orders via Google Play.
My order was returned to Computer 2000 (in the UK) and signed for by them on the 19th, however to date I have received no communication from them and no refund.
Have any of you that have rejected your parcels received your refund or any other communication from Google?
Thanks,
Chris

I never actually received mine as they messed up address label and TNT refused to let me tell them full address and then returned it before I had chance to go to depot to collect. I emailed Google at this point (through order page) on 20th and parcel was signed for by Computer 2000 on 24th so I emailed Google again on 27th, having heard nothing, and have no reply yet. I have managed to pick up a Nexus 7 in Curry's in the meantime so just want my money back.

Not great is it? Mine's been with them for 10 days now (weekend included) and I'd expect to have at least received an acknowledgment e-mail to say they'd received for the parcel.

Just phoned Google... They will not consider even looking at my case until the 8th August passes. Considering they received it back on the 19th July, I'd call it appalling service.
At least Amazon and the like acknowledge receipt of a returned parcel - Google's complete lack of communication has ruined the customer experience. I'll never order anything direct from them again.

I only actually got charged 4 days after my delivery refusal had returned to the depot somewhere in leicester (this was a separate charge to the other three or four pending charges that had fallen off my credit card) . I spoke to someone last Friday who said it would be sorted ASAP, he said it was the first time he had seen this happen, but nothing done since.
I got one from GameStop on the first day they were available. Google received my pre-order back on the 19th. I called Google & they said it could take up to 14 days to process the returned order & issue a refund. Still waiting...

You have to be refunded within 30 days of you notifying of the order cancellation, regardless of whether you have returned item or not.
http://oft.gov.uk/business-advice/treating-customers-fairly/dshome/dsrexplained
I am in the US and I refused the delivery about a week ago. I had ordered a case with it and still haven't gotten the case. Back before I had refused the shipment I had sent an email about being able to keep the case and just send the Nexus 7 back. But then I found a different case and decided I would just refused it all. Well then they split the order and the case is in limbo somewhere I guess. Anyway, I got an email a coupel of days ago with RMA instructions for the Nexus 7. It was in response to my question about opening the package and taking out the case. So I sent them back the tracking numbers what showed the refused delivery and acceptance back at the shipping origin. I also asked if they could just not send the case that is still pending and just issue me my refund. I haven't heard back.
It was easy to refuse delivery, I have the free MyUPS service. When I got the package shipment notification from UPS I went in and had them hold it at the location. Since I probably wouldn't be home when it was delivered I would have had to drive it there anyway. There wasn't any option to refuse. It seemed the day before or maybe it was the day it was it the location I looked at the delivery options and there was a "Refuse" option. I chose that and they sent it back. Didn't have to drive out of my way to the UPS location or anything. I plan on doing the same if they ever send me the case.

But it's not a cancelled order. You rejected their shipment. They can take as long as they please to "process it"
And for those of you thinking of filing with your credit card company or bank: good luck. Banks and credit card companies are notorious for providing extremely slow assistance for disputed claims. They will likely go to the retailer and give them like 60 days or something insane like that to respond before they do anything.
contact number for Google (UK)?
Sounds like I am just one of many who is experience a total lack of service or concern from Google?
TNT didn't manage to show up when I was home and wasn't allowed to deliver to the neighbour (although the package my misses got from TNT the same day was dropped off just fine); TNT failed to bring out the package when I arranged for redelivery (5 days after the initial drop-off) and only other option would have been a Saturday delivery, which turned out to be a no-go due to the Olympics (yes, I am located smack in the middle of London .. "yay").
Had no option but refuse delivery and have so far heard NOTHING!
Over the course of the last week I have used the google wallet email form 5 times and not received ANY response; I have tried the phone number on top of the page twice and gotten a fax/modem (+353 (1) 436 1001).
I am at this moment beyond pissed!
ANYONE have a valid (UK) number to contact these people?
I would have expected A LOT better service from a company like Google, but when (if?) I ever get my £209 back, I guess they've thoroughly proven to me that I'll be better off with an iPad - by the time the 7" iPad will be on the market anyway.
Oh well *sigh*

I was one of those over-enthusiastic individuals that made several duplicate orders when their website kept crashing. It was actually the Nexus 10 that I ordered three times, but it looks like my Nexus 4 is going to be delayed as a result. I see other people have had theirs shipped already.
Anyway, I've cancelled the dups and email them back asking how it'll effect my delivery date. If anyone else hears anything about this, it'd be good to know.
I got it too but when I called yesterday the rep said unless you cancelled within the hour you would need to refuse delivery. I don't think it means its delayed.....
i recieved this email this morning. i phoned google who said everything is fine & it was standard procedure
I got this too but it was titled 'Action Requested' which lead me to believe I'd have to actually do something to continue with my order so I called Google. The only action needed is if you want to cancel it, otherwise orders will be processed within 24 hrs.
I got a reply. Looks like we're just going to have to wait.

For anyone in the same boat as me. As expected;

Agree. The lack of customer service, lack of information, and utter disregard for their customers during the process, is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE.
I didn't even get a confirmation email, no updates, no status changes, nothing. I got my order in at 11:35:06am EST.

Apple did it for $30 bumpers + tax and shipping for something that really wasn't even an issue.
I think Google can do it... that is if they're not backordered :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I am very disappointed, I just called google play for the first time to ask about my order, the CSR had nothing to say, I placed my order 10:56 am CST and I am in limbo. I asked for a supervisor and he could not even cancel my order or provide any information. I have been an amazon customer for years and I have never had an issue, their amazon prime 2 day shipping works flawlessly and their customer service is amazing. I can't believe that google has such poor customer service.

Let's all keep in mind that the bumpers probably cost $0.50 to make and about $3 or $4 to ship.
And I disagree, it was a big issue for me and anyone who ever had to use their phones where they only had 1 or 2 bars of service. But this isn't the time or place.
I don't know about a public apology but they did botch this royally. I'm not some kid who just can't wait till it gets here. But the miscommunication is extreme. My bumper, might I add that I ordered fifteen minutes later has already shipped. My phone, well it's still pending.
And the supervisor I spoke with is speaking at sixty words a minute assuming he knows my issue and he assumes its that I'm just ready to get it (didn't listen to me at all). The truth is, I waited to call, read all of the help info but the problem is it's been the 2 business days and still it has not shipped. Yet my four hundred dollars had been in holding since Tuesday.
At this point it's not possible for it to arrive in the time frame they quoted when I placed the order. For that, all entitlement aside they failed. So they can't cancel the order, nor tell me when it will even ship. Lol, all they say is " if you don't get tracking today call us back". The SAME thing they said yesterday when I called to confirm my order.
The goal of telephone customer service is one call resolution, not to tell someone to call back and start over tomorrow.

Yes I do feel entitled to a little bit of information when I purchase product from one of the largest companies in the world and 72 hours later they have no idea if my order has shipped, sitting in some warehouse or back ordered. I had a 390 dollar hold placed on my account and no info as to what is going on.

Nexus 4/Google Play rant

So a month ago I ordered a nexus 4 8gb. The next day my friend decided he wanted to sell he's nexus 4 8gb. He said he will sell it to me for 300$ instead of 372$ from the play store. Of course I bought it. I wanted to cancel my order so went on my Google wallet account to cancel it. Surprise it doesn't work. Take note that the phone hasn't shipped yet. I call them and I explain to them that I will like to cancel my order. The lady tells me that my order has been processed and she can't cancel. She than tells me I have to wait until it comes and wen
UPS arrives at my door to return it to the sender. I asked if this was a joke. I never in my life heard of that. If an item hasn't shipped yet isn't it easier to stop it before it leaves ? I didn't make a big story and did what she said. I was charged the 372$. Tracked with UPS and when it was near my house, called UPS and said that I refuse the order and that they may send it back to the sender. Perfect they sent it back. And it arrived back to them the Friday, *02/15/2013 at*9:30. I emailed them to know when they will refund me.
They said : If your package is unopened, Google will issue a refund to the card originally charged within 2 weeks.
I'm OK with that no problem.
2 weeks pass. I call them starting to get annoyed.
Now they changed the 2 weeks to 14 businesses days :banghead:
But in the first email they sent they clearly said 2 weeks if package was unopened.
"Thank you for contacting Google Play Hardware Support.

If your package was opened, your returned device must first be inspected before determining the validity of the refund request. Results of the inspection will generally be available within 14 business days after your device is returned."
I remind you that my nexus 4 didn't even make it to my door. Emailed them and got the same message pasted again. Called them and wanted to talk to a supervisor. They said that 14 working days is their policies blabla and that they can't do anything for me.
I was really annoyed and decided to wait the 14 work days. Which was last Friday. I was supposed to get my refund, or at least it should appear on my Google wallet account, but again nothing.
Emailed them back and this is what they sent me back :
Hello,

I think I am about to explode. Google customer is the worst customer service I ever had.
Now my question is: what to do next ?
Never buying a device from the Google store, NEVER.

So a month ago I ordered a nexus 4 8gb. The next day my friend decided he wanted to sell he's nexus 4 8gb. He said he will sell it to me for 300$ instead of 372$ from the play store. Of course I bought it. I wanted to cancel my order so went on my Google wallet account to cancel it. Surprise it doesn't work. Take note that the phone hasn't shipped yet.

First thing is that I always call when I need a customer service instead of sending e-mails. I think you can call them again, and ask why tyou still
haven't get the refund because it's already been 28 days. Call with friendly attitude will help you a lot although I know you are angry and
frustrated. If I'm a customer service support, and I have a customer angry at me for no reason ( since I'm not the one who will issue you a
refund...), I will probably mess up your order again, and make you even more frustrated....This is just my thought.
Good Luck.
I called 2 times and was very polite both times, but it still didn't help.

Then the ugly truth is that you still have to call them until you get your money back because "you want the money back". so you gotta do what you
gotta do....
Yeah, keep calling if you have to. I did the same thing on an RMA and got too busy at work to follow up, but never got my refund after a couple of months. By then I decided I wanted to try the device again, had to call a few times but I got it resolved. Not the same thing as getting a refund though.

Hmmmm
Called them and they said they are having issues with their returns because they are using a new automated return service. It's been 26 working days and still not a single trace of a refund. I personally think it's a joke.
If any one has the same problems please let me know on G+: https://plus.google.com/113646711037636263033/posts

If they forewarded to a specialist, then it should be done soon....
I had to RMA my nexus 10 like 5 times so i had like 5 charges on my card for 399$, until it was forwarded to a "specialist" then they took all the charges off....
After my fifth RMA they just refunded my nexus 10... after having one since launch date...
So if you want a refund just keep doing RMA but don't order a new device? just kidding just kidding don't do it, it will not work

In short, you bought something in error, and it's somebody else's fault.

I dunno, so far so good with their support for me. I'm in the middle of an RMA for a Nexus 4 because it won't read any SIM cards (hmm perhaps jamming my old nano sized cut up non-sanded SIM into it half way to see if it would work out of curiosity was not a good idea) and I've had to call once, and send a few emails and they've been quick and polite so far.
I work in customer service too and unfortunately things can slip through the cracks. It's sad but when it happens it's very hard to get it back out. Usually when a rep finally is able to resolve your issue after a lot of BS, they'll provide some sort of credit or bonus to make you happy for having to put up with it, because it really isn't your fault. especially if you make it clear you've been very frustrated and inconvenienced. In this case, their response of "we're switching to a new system" sounds plausible. Just keep following up with them, and ask for a supervisor each time you call so some nice heavy duty supervisor notes get left on your ticket as it crawls its way through the system.
That's why I never returned the faulty device back cause after getting RMA device the money that Google holds until I send my faulty device back got expired and my bank put that money back to my account and never sent the faulty one back. Screw up Google

How did it cost you 372 for the 8 GB? Outside US? And I know your pain- as soon as you get charged the order is almost impossible to cancel.

Exactly why I got mine from TMO(obviously have to live in the US to do so). I was able to get my N4 16Gb for less than $200, got lucky and was able to get it on release for TMO. That unit had terrible light bleeding and received my replacement within 2 days of calling it in.
Before anyone says anything about a contract I have been with TMO for over 10 years, I have 3 lines and all have unlimited data 5GB and I pay less than $190 a month after all fees and taxes. So doing an upgrade does not bother me, plus they always help me out when I want a new phone.

I'd be careful. I'd be scared of google randomly coming after me for another $300+ charge to get that money back. probly just when the cell bill is due too!

I'm not trying to be that guy but since you were bragging about price... You could get straight talk tmobile service with same unlimited service for 3 lines 135 a month. Or if you don't talk much use the 30 dollar tmobile prepaid plan. But I have no problem if you choose your route. Just saying.

You're not a mod. Shut the hell up.
To OP. I don't see anything out of the norm for a typical online retailer. You sound very impatient.
