This thread is for people who ordered from the play store and have recieved their orders but cancelled and did not get charged. Do we have any lucky buggers that have managed to net one free because the way google are handling things i wouldnt be suprised if a few hundred slip through their pathetic delivery tracking system.
I doubt that will happen.

I would not be surprised if those people get an invoice and return shipping label in the mail. And then have to choose return or pay. Let alone if it was cancelled and the purchase does not say cancelled in Play store then technically Google covered the terms of the sale and could charge the credit card on file since they could show delivery of said product. Plus in its term of sale it states the cancellation period.
This thread will just bait people to debate. Seems trollish.

Is that for UK only? Also, isn't it somewhat solicited since one had ordered it and attempted to cancel after the specified cancellation period?
This thread is going to cause arguments for sure. Not as bad as the thread about retail FRAUD though...

Agreed. I thought the same thing about the retail fraud one with the guy having a play store and Sam's club tab, inspecting them and just returning whichever one he doesn't want to Sam's club. I think it's actually a felony.
Shame.

So buy 12 and return 11? Whats different about that?
Lol a free tablet is a free tablet ....like Google doesn't have more money then they will ever need . And not to mention I'm pretty sure Google is constantly stealing/viewing or information that's why u get ads similar to the things you talk about in your emails. Ppl just over look these things because they make great products

Correct, you are not a lawyer.
The "unsolicited goods" laws in some countries (USA for example, which is handled by the FTC) is explicitly written to cover receiving unordered products. It is not for "haha! you sent me something after I cancelled my order so I get to keep it for free!" type scenarios.
So, for example, if you signed up for a free product and they sent you something more with a bill/invoice. Or if you never ordered anything to begin with, but they sent you something and wanted you to pay for it. Or if you receive something (again, not ordered) and it was due to an honest shipping mistake*.
To the latter, you are still supposed to contact the merchant to let them know of the mistake, and give them an opportunity to correct it at zero cost to you (ie: paying for return shipping) within a reasonable amount of time. You can also make it clear that if they don't contact you about it within that time, you will dispose of the product in any manner you see fit.
While this part of it might be a stretch, it could possibly apply here. So if you did actually get an N7 by mistake after cancelling your order, and want to keep it with little risk, I would suggest sending a certified letter to Google with the content above. If they respond back saying to send it to them using a prepaid shipping method, you should do so. Otherwise, while it wouldn't be considered "fraud" since it was their mistake, it could be considered theft of goods, since you did in fact order the product, they still sent it to you due to an honest mistake, they later tried to get it corrected, and you refused.
Or, you could just stay quiet and hope they don't contact you about it - if you are so inclined.
But in the end, if they do contact you to return the merchandise, I would recommend doing so.
On the invoice I received with my order, it had the device's serial number. They knew the device's serial number too, when I rang up and started the RMA process. Google know where each device has been shipped to, so I doubt very much that they'll do nothing and let people keep free tablets. Also, as stated on the support pages, they can remotely disable devices.
I can't wait to fast forward a couple of months, and the "Google just charged my credit card for a tablet I didn't return " threads start.

So long story short, I ordered a Nexus from GPuk but was delayed far too long for me as I was going to be out of the country when it was likely to be delivered so purchased mine from pc world UK tried to cancel the gp one no luck so allowed it to eventually be delivered so I could refuse delivery to get the refund from Google. This was recommended to me by a gp rep, as TNT require a signature I was advised to call them to tell them the that I wanted to refuse delivery. I did this as soon as I got my tracking number but while out of the country checked the tracking from TNT only to discover it had been delivered and signed for by an unknown person to an unknown location. Furious was not the word.
So i called TNT eventually they understood and apologised and accepted that I wanted to refuse delivery but also accepted they didn't give me the opportunity to and could not tell me where it had been delivered but would speak to the local depot and driver and get back to me. Que 5 or so calls only for the customer support team to tell me they still don't know where it has been delivered to but assured me that they will pick it up and return to sender with no more interaction needed from me. That was last Wednesday and have nothing more, in the meantime I have tried to contact gpuk to explain they have charged me for something I don't have. I I have tried explaining that I don't have it and what TNT have done but no matter what I try I am getting no return from Google to my many emails on this. What concerns me is that TNT have delivered it to someone else at a different address than the one supplied and can only assume that it looks delivered successfully to Google.
Where do I stand? I currently I am £208.99 out of pocket for a nexus I didn't want, and that's apparently been delivered but not to me....

First things first, don't just email Google, call them. They're much better if you speak to them directly (so I've heard).
Second, if you purchased this on a credit card, most credit cards have methods of recourse for situations like these, so I'd speak to your bank.
Third, call TNT and ask for verification from them that you could present Google with in order to help facilitate a refund process.
-Ara
Might be worth contacting your bank and saying you have paid for something but not received it and thus want to claim the money back

when you speak to google again, ask them to disable the one that was supposed to have been sent to you and then to send you a new one. they will then recover the cost from courier.

If you want your information stolen, hacked, or get scammed then you should try it and let us know. Trust me I learned the hard way and I wasn't pleasant. If it is too good to be true than it probably is. :silly:
If you do decide to order then here is what my prediction is going to be. After completing the order (this is after they get all your info), you receive and email saying they are out of stock and they'll have to cancel your order. You'll be like darn but go with your life. Weeks or months later down the road, BAM! your credit cards gets an unauthorized charge and the nightmare begins. One advice I can give you from my ordeal is that you should never trust online retailers no matter how authentic it looks (the website looks way fishier compared to the one the got me) and should only stick with proven vendors like Amazon, Google Play Store,Staples, Office Depot, etc.

Yeah, registered by some French lady in April this year, so only 4 months old.
Ok well im certainly not buying this one im 16 and dont have the money to risk. I looked at some website saftey site and it said that it was 47 percent safe. To me that sounds like there is a 50 percent chance that i would actually get a nexus 7 if i ordered it from there.

HAHAHAH! This is hilarious. First of all, the tablet pictured there is basically a perfect square, not to mention the lack of any credible contact information. I say go for it. If anything, you'll learn a valuable lesson (about $175 worth of a lesson).
There is no checkout button to begin with!

Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Don't you love how they offer you a 'deal' for preordering but 2 weeks later they offer a better deal you don't qualify for?
Anyway, I ordered one for my dad 2 days ago which will be delivered today and here I discover this promotion that starts today. I emailed them asking if he can qualify because this offer will buy his EVO 3D for 100 bucks, which is more than I expect him to get from craigslist.
I went to the HTC site and put in my old phone details so I could see how much I would get. I used the promo code "HTC100" as directed. I put in all my info for the trade in phone and it said I could save the info and they would send an email with a link to get back and finish the process after buying the phone.
After I went and got the ONE, I got the email and it had a personal ID # and a link to continue but it just takes me back to the original site that wants me to input all the info again. The instructions in the email say that the link is supposed to take you to a page where you can input the personal ID# that they sent me. I don't see anyplace to do this and unfortunately the HTC100 code only works once so I can't even start over.
Anyone else have any experience with this?

When you say they gave you $100 for your old ppc6800 mogul, are you implying that you already received the visa card in the mail? I shipped my phone out 2 weeks ago and the status online says there are still waiting to receive it
Hello T-mobilers. We, Sprinters, have very small community when it comes here in XDA Website and that's why I need help from you guys
Now, let me hit my question.
Sprint sent me a contract peppers which they said it is for a device that you already got few months ago. So technically I haven't gotten any copy of this contract before. I have'nt signed it either. The date of the contract is 10/03/2014 but they sent to me on 12/05/2014.
The contract says that I got a lease of a device which is an Iphone 6 plus on 10/03/2014 at sprint corporate store, but the funny part is that I didn't sign the agreement and my signature is not there because I never been at the store on that day! But wait, I got another contract agreement yesterday but this one has a signature on it! This is not my signature, they just typed my name in the signature place using computer.
Normally if I want to lease a deviceat the store, I have to literally sign the original document using electronic pen and drawing or writing in a small display. But this new agreement which I received yesterday is completely misleading, in fact it's a fraud. They just typed my first name in there!
So what do you guys think about this issue. Should I sue sprint? Should I just call manager or supervisor about the issue?. Or what other steps I should take? Have you ever had this kind of experience from your companies?
Can sprint sign on behalf of me? is this is a fraud? Thanks a lot guys.
I don't think there is any reason to sue them ( yet at least ). It looks like your identity may have be compromised and someone leased phone using your name. Contact store, explain situation and depends on their actions ( if they remove that contract from your name quickly or not ) contact police and report the crime. Without your signature is not a valid contract.

THanks sir. I think the corporate store is the one who did this. No one else for sure. And as you mentioned I won't sue them but I'm curious about the reason they put me on a contract which I've never signed it.
