If you haven't preordered... $234 for 16GB at JR

JR.com has the 16GB version available for pre order, with free shipping. If you use the code JULY4 you will get an extra $15 off so $234 total for the 16GB version. Pretty good deal!

now you tell us..lol. damn.. is it a reputable site? my total for ordering through Google play was $275. that difference saved could've been the money for the case once it releases. oh well..lmao

Hmmm, I wonder how much it would cost me to ship this to Canada? Cause right now off Google Play + shipping and tax I'm looking at $312 for the 16gb...
Also, can you give us the direct link to the Nexus 7 on their site? I can't seem to find it... under tablet brands I don't see it under ASUS or Google nor does it come up when I search "Nexus 7" or "Nexus Tablet".

I just cancelled my order for the 8GB and bought the 16GB from JR.com. Since I live in NY (damn you tax!) it came out to around $254, but that's still a really good price.
I've only dealt with JR the brick and mortar store in NYC and they seemed pretty good. Like your typical Nobody Beats the Wiz and PC Richards and Sons with a bigger music section. I haven't dealt with their online part yet, but it can't be that bad right? http://www.resellerratings.com/store/J_R_Computers

It is I ordered my laptop from them about 1 year ago I got it within 1 week and everything was good

This doesn't come with the 25 play store credit does it?

It looks like its gone from their website.
Edit: Durr. Never mind.

I am not a fan of that company, FWIW.

Yeah it does seem gone now... I put an order in and cancelled my google play preorder. I hope JR does not say it was some sort of mistake and I get hosed.
I would guess the play store ones might ship faster, but a couple days to save $50 is worth it to me.
Play store was $250 + 14 shipping + 20 tax $284
JR 250 -discount = $234
So that is $50, but if it does not have the $25 play store deal, then is $25 better... then again it's going to be shipped to NY then back to CA..
As long as I get it about the same time it's a good deal.

Also got it before it disappear, hopefully it went through

Google didn't even know JR.com was selling them or at least the google rep on the phone didn't when I canceled my preorder from the play store.

Well if it's $234 + tax and no $25 credit then you're paying about the same

FYI: Canadian preorders (possibly more) can get shipping waived...

After reading the news that I am still to wait 1-2 weeks for my 16 GB device to ship, I immediately called Google and waited 45 minutes to speak with Chris. I voiced my frustrations over the fact that this had been my SEVENTH call to Google since Thursday and that I want to cancel my order.
He put me on hold, and came back with some interesting news:
1) They have no problem cancelling because of my particular situation (ordered on the 27th, spoke to them 7 times, got different answers...)
2) I can still keep the shipment, refuse it at the door or accept it and then return it within 15 days INCLUDING a full refund to the shipping
3) If I choose to keep it, again because of my specific circumstance, they would be willing to waive the shipping charge on delivery
They also explained to me that Australia is getting their 16 GB devices before Canada because of the SKUs on their specific devices; they ordered these devices specific to each country and they can't rightly send Canadians Australian devices (bull****? I'm not sure...)
Hello Ricky,
Thank you for contacting Google. It was a pleasure getting to speak with
you today. As promised, I have submitted a request to have your shipping
charge waived due to the unexpected delay.
In the meantime, if you have any additional feedback that you'd like to
pass along, please feel free to reply to this email. Your responses will
automatically go to the specialist looking at your case.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
Regards,
Chris
The Google Play Team

So I'm going to keep the shipment and start looking around Montreal to find a 16 GB one. If I don't, I'll accept the package and get the shipping waived. If I can find one, I'll just return it free of charge.
One last thing: he also said he'd be VERY surprised if the people who bought from the Play store don't get something else as a courtesy as a result of this mishap...

Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

No mention of when they may have stock either. I'll wait and get it from the Play store thanks.

Yea i think if you live in a country with access to Play store go with it ^_^ and if you live in a country where u cant get it from there you have to go with handtec or clove i think

Actually, considering the price that will be in Belgium, ordering from this website is not that expensive.
Luckly for me, a French friend will order it for me

I beleive this is targeted at people in European countries without the Playstore. Handtec arent new to gray imports, they sold me an Asian/Middle Eastern TyTN II about 4 years ago.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

As mentioned this is more for those who can't get it via Play Store, and anyone outside of the EU can benefit by getting it VAT free.

Just spoke on line chat to Handtec....
Mark says:
Hi, You have the LG/Google Nexus 4 (16GB, SIM Free/Unlocked) listed as available shortly, can you give me a timeline as to exactly what 'shortly' means?
Naomi says:
We are awaiting full confirmation of dates etc from our suppliers, we should have more info later this week
Naomi says:
this will be placed on the web page as soon as we have the information
Mark says:
ok, I know that it's going to be available on google play from the 13, are you likely to have them soon after that?
Naomi says:
we certainly hope to, but currently have no confirmation. I understand Google Play will begin taking orders tomorrow, but they may not ship immediately

Yes, last week they told me they would start shipping the devices in the end of November.
EDIT: I just talked to them once again and this time they told me that the phone most likely will be available for purchase next week. I might actually order it there as it's the cheapest option I could find. (living an EU country with no Play store).
Another option would be to use Forward2me's personal shopper feature and get it shipped from there but it would cost the same as just ordering from Handtec (350 UK pounds)

Massively overpriced. Play Store is the only way to go if you have any common sense.

I placed my order, how long do you think it'll take for them to send it here?

ffs, thinking about ordering it from handtec to denmark, does any1 know any possible problems with that? i saw some ppl complaining about their services :/

You can't now. They closed pre-orders. Only problem I encountered was the fact that shipping address had to be the same as the address and information on the card. Make sure that fits and you'll be fine.

Fuuc, im getting crazy over here, they said 2 weeks ago that last week they would supposedly get a confirmation date from their supplier/LG.
But im waiting, and no date yet..
Starting to loose my mind.
Hopefully sooon. Or i might consider a suicide. Im joking.

google cancelled my dec. 6 order wtf? no reasons why...

no reasons were stated, they just cancelled my order without my knowing or asking...wtf is this. i was waiting badly for this phone since i sold my other nexus 4. it was supposed to comes 6-7 weeks which is basically this week or next week and they cancel it? GG, never shopping with them again.

ofc i will....this post was just to inform others of google's shady shopping and customer service routines.

they did the same thing to me. no explanation. no info given on who cancelled it. nothing. of course I did receive the notice of cancelation right as one of their employees emailed me to let me know he was looking into my order issues. I'm assuming he did it, but no proof. call in and ask to speak with a level 2 person. the supervisor I tried didn't even know how the play store works

Let us know. Maybe they ran out

How bizarre. Out of interest, had you received the updated payment email yesterday and get the charge held over in your bank account?

Could be they went to charge your account again before they shipped it and you had insufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction. They re-charged my account 3 days before they shipped it in November after being backordered for 2 weeks.

lmao they've been out of supplies weeks though. but i thought they would put my order as a backorder until they get more supplies, not cancel it. i just called google and dude says he don't know what happened and why. i'ma call again and try to talk to someone else, and then a supervisor. this is BS. this means that google playstore must really not have any supplies coming soon.

what are you talking about? they only charge your account when they are about to send it out. first of all, they charged the account for my first order in november and when my credit card refused, google play send me a message stating the issue and i called my credit card and fixed it. but that was the first order. this second order i didn't use credit card and the payment option i chose has more than enough funds in it. and also, if there was a problem, they should have informed me, not just cancel it.

Chromecast now comes with a free $6 Google Play movie rental

According to the Best Buy and Amazon websites, part of their Black Friday promotions includes getting a $6 Google Play movie rental when one purchases a Google Chromecast. As of right now, the Chromecast is selling for $35 on the Best Buy website, as well as $35 on the Amazon website, but according to "cmendonc2," that price will soon drop to $29.99 on Black Friday! I'm not really sure if this promotion will be offered after Black Friday, but at least for right now you're guaranteed the free movie rental valued at up to $6 when you purchase it from either of these retailers. According to the fine print at the bottom of the "Amazon.com: Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player $6 Google Play Promo Credit Offer" page, this deal is only valid up through December 7th, 2013. I know it's certainly not as exciting as the initial 3 months of free Netflix promotion, but I guess a free $6 movie rental is better than nothing at all! lol
If you go check out the Google Chromecast on the Best Buy website, you'll see the terms for the $6 Google Play movie rental if you click on the Special Offers link titled "Free Google Play Movie Rental: See How"( <----- This link directs you to the same place as going to the Best Buy website and clicking on it there instead.)

For those who want to secure a unit now, this promotion is active in-store at Best Buy, at least here in OR.
If you're after a rootable unit and are near the Tanasbourne (Hillsboro, OR) location, check the right-most row of Chromecasts in the TV/Home Theater (not Magnolia) area - that's where I left the stash that I sorted out from the majority of 3As.

I just bought a Chromecast two days ago and haven't gotten one. How do you get the promo in-store?

It'll ask for your email at checkout. I'm pretty sure it wasn't active on the weekend. I think it went live yesterday (Monday) with the Black Friday preview, or perhaps today (Tuesday).

Pretty weak really. Roku just offered all Roku owners two free movie rentals (up to $12 value) to promote their latest software update.

very nice

ordered it yesterday off amazon.com, got 2 day freeshipping and got the $6 promo code. zero tax on amazon too.

I got my Chromecast yesterday and I didn't get the promo code. I got it at Best Buy. Looked all over my sales slip. Nothing. Guess I missed out.

I don't see it on the site either. It may have only been active for the "Black Friday preview" or it might simply have been a mistake that was since corrected. Sorry.

Well, it definitely wasn't a mistake.. and both sites indicated that this particular promo would be running up through December 7th. They must be experiencing some kinda glitch or problem with their system. Maybe "Pre-Black Friday" systems overload...lol

Dammit, if I had only waited two more days before buying one...

In all reality, 6 bucks did not go a long ways for me. Their movie selection wasn't that good and it cost me $6 to watch a semi new release in HD. Definitely not worth it unless you have a promo code.
