I don't know why everyone is waiting for there 16gb n7. I got one last week at staples and another for my buddy this week. I still got my Google play credit and my free content and the free Google wallet money. Go to staples.

Yea, because Staples doesn't sell out. Never.

+1 for staples, got mine yesterday at one in Goleta, CA. They were out of the 16gb (which is fine because I wanted the 8 anyway), but it surprised me that they even had them at all when the best buy across the street from them was telling me it would be a few weeks before they got any in stock.

+1 Just checked for a 100 mi radias and found two locations selling the 8gb only.
If you are in San Antonio, head over to the RIM shoppes and in Austin at
1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd Suite 700
Austin TX 78723
100 mile check around my area=none. I got the last one on Friday
I don't think many people is waiting now .. but my local staples never stock up on crap besides office supplies

Staples last week- 16 gb. North Jersey. When it says not sold in this store on the internet, keep checking. That just means they are out of stock. It will change to In stock when they get a delivery.
On Thursday, I got my 16 GB from Staples about 30 miles away, it was the last one there. Definitely the only Nexus in my area too, Haha I had been searching and it finally crossed my mind to call there
Edit: should note that they did not have the 8 GB at my Staples. They were also kind enough to hold it for 3 hours until I got off from work despite it being their only one

I just got my 8gb from Staples today, I called four different locations by me and they were all sold out of the 16gb versions.

Uh, the Staples down here in TX were all empty of 16s, and most didn't even carry 8s. The Walmarts are getting 16s in a lot of areas, though. They have tons up around Dallas (where I go to school), but are out around Austin (where I'm spending the summer). Another place to check (just don't buy them all before I get up there for mine!)

I agree, Staples all over are getting stock! If it says "Low Stock" online...hurry!
It depends on location... here in CT all staples sold out.

I tried calling my local Staples earlier, they didn't answer...
In any case, I'll call them up tomorrow and see how their stock is. Hopefully they have the 16GB in stock.
Does anyone have any experience with RMA's and Staples?

Yep my first one had a dead pixel. You have 14 days to get a replacement and it's really easy. Walk in, have your tablet and receipt/order number and get a new one.

Staples had neither the 16 or 8 in stock. The sales person was kind enough to tell me some guy just bought the last dozen!!! to sell online for a profit....??!
No estimate for next shipment, nothing....seriously? Called CS, no help, they asked if the sales person suggested I preorder one...I wasn't informed of the option.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't rub stuff like that in someone's face. Yes the lucky customer is entitled to do as he pleases but I feel strongly a product like this should have purchase quantity limits.
I may stop shopping at staples unless I have to go there in a 911... I sold my gift card.
Better believe I'm going to Google I/O 2013. Hopefully freebies will still exist (I would NEVER re sell mine,let alone the day of like some people did)...I'd be crazy not go go with my student discount. Just a matter of luck getting tickets I guess!

Just received an email from Google Play about my replacement. Didn't see any similar threads pop up but just in case, here is some info for anyone who wants to get theirs replaced:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=2693239&from=2693239&rd=1
I literally filled that out yesterday and got my UPS return label, RMA slip, and replacement cart link a about 10 minutes ago. They want the old device back within 21 days and put a $249 authorization hold on your card until they receive it. They have a shopping cart setup for you so you just click the link and place the replacement order.
Sorry if this is a duplicate, mods can take this down if they want.

That thread gives no useful information on a RMA order, it just talks about those who already or are going to replace.
Yea, the turn arounds are getting faster and faster. My first replacement took a week. My second, half that. Hopefully, I don't have to see how long a third takes...
I got the email to order replacement twice. Just clicked on link in one email but curious if people got it twice too.

Are they shipping these expedited or the same method as a brand new order? And was the second replacement for the same issue? Cause that scares me, haha.
Edit: Looked through the post linked above. Guess some got it over a couple days some a little longer. Oh well as long as its coming!

They also said limited quantities.
I looked at their Twitter feed and they are telling those of us who got a confirmation number, that not to worry. They will honor it and that confirmation emails are taking around 2 hours to process.

First, to the mods:
I would first like to make the case for the existence of a separate thread for RMA's. It is now well known that Google has always maintained a separate stock of N4 units that (if I'm not mistaken) also ship out from a separate location, and therefore the entire shipping situation for these is distinctly different/separate from that of all other standard Play Store orders, with posts for which obviously belonging in the main shipping thread. For those of us either posting and/or seeking information regarding only RMA's, it makes it rather difficult and confusing trying to find that particular information in the main thread. That is why I am hoping we can keep this thread, again specifically for RMA shipping and status.
Thanks!
(by the way, fellow N4 RMA folks please feel free to chime in and back me up on this )

Thank you my fellow RMA grunts!
And to add to this from my part, I have an RMA that I put in for my 16gb on 12/13, listed as Pre-order, and at that time I was given a 2-3 week quote, but since all I've heard from everyone else has been 3-5 weeks, I'm now inclined to believe the latter. In my situation, I'm just hoping to have this replacement by the time we go away on vacation on Jan 11th, but I'm not holding out too much hope on that. Then there's the LG warranty option, but because I'm not the "original purchaser" then I can see that process getting rather hairy. I mean did dig up an old slider phone that I could "use" in the meantime if I had to send this in, but right now I'm at a loss.
By the way to give a bit of background, I originally purchased an N4 back on 11/23, but had to send that one back due to screen issues. At the time I just assumed there were no replacements with everything being sold out, so I just went with a straight refund. I then purchased my current phone as an unopened/sealed unit on eBay, but now this one has major earpiece speaker issues. So rather than go through the craziness of sending this one back to the eBay seller, have him get an RMA, etc. etc., I just thought I'd try to change my original Play Store "refund" into a "replacement" (refund for my returned phone hadn't hit yet), since I'd learned that Google had a separate RMA stock. Well of course as well all now know, even the RMA stock is wiped out, so I'm currently 1) sitting on an RMA replacement with Google that is in "pre-order" status, and 2) rocking an N4 (the one from eBay) with a bum speaker. And THAT is my effing N4 story. :victory:

My rma story, which I'm sure y'all have heard before, but for the new comers who will be joining us the story is I ordered the phone on 11/13, received my N4 on the 28th, right out the box the speaker was funky, crackling and popping. It blew two days later, no sound at all and no calls. Called for the rma on the 1st and was told rma stock is different than regular stock and that I would get it in 3-5 days. They finally told me last Thursday that they are out of rma stock and it'll be 3-5 weeks. I'm not taking this lightly as I call periodically, at least once a week, to get some kind of update. I've talked to managers and they all give the same spiel, "I'll escalate it to a shipping specialist". No choice but to wait, although I am contemplating sending it in to LG, would rather fix it myself though. No parts out there. :banghead:

Here's my story. Ordered RMA on Dec 4th thinking I would have it in 3-5 business days. Had to cancel that one and order a new RMA because Google wouldn't let me change my shipping address without making a new order. New order date is Dec 16th.

Yeah and actually, my plan would be (assuming I stuck with the RMA route) to receive the RMA phone, then simply do a swap of the earpiece speaker components (which looks to be quite easy to do) and then just send the RMA unit back to Google as defective. Of course I can only do this because of my unique eBay-phone situation, as described above

Well he told me, take it with a grain of salt, that when they get new orders the computer automatically prints the shipping label. So once you order it can't be changed. How hard is it to print a new shipping label? Seriously, Google.

i had the same problem when i order my replacement it end up being under my old address they wouldn't let me change it, so i end up cancel the order..and went to ebay, got very lucky bought one on Friday for $415 with free shipping witch i think is not a bad deal, i receive it today.so far everything good, no problem at all.. im glad i cancel my order would have to wait 3 weeks
What would really suck is if I don't get it at the new address by Jan 14th I would have to cancel and make yet another new RMA order. Let's hope it doesn't come down to that...

"We're sorry, there was a problem with your request. Please contact your carrier directly for assistance."
I then call Sprint, let them know exactly whats going on, and I'm going through BB because they have an exclusive on Amber Gold. They check my account for issues and say everything is good and there is no errors on there end. BB doesn't seem to know why and keeps sending me to Sprint.
I just want to get the thing in Amber Gold before April 10th.
My cart would clear out if I didn't checkout as a guest. As for the last screen I was getting an error about the order being complete but it was due to me typing in a piece of the account info wrong.

I ordered a gold one from BB. Also had errors when logged into my account. Had to checkout as guest and it went through just fine.
