Google has not yet made a formal announcement about the launch date for its Nexus 7 tablet, but according to retailer Staples, that launch is scheduled for next week.
The Google Nexus 7 will begin shipping from Staples between July 12 and 17, according to the tablet's retail product page.
Customers who pre-order the Nexus 7 by July 10 can expect a tablet delivery within one to three business days, arriving no earlier than July 13.
Only the 16GB version of the tablet seems to be available for pre-order on the site for $249. Both the 16BG and an 8GB, $199 version can be set aside in Google Play.
When asked about the Staples listing, a Google spokesperson said the company has not yet revealed an official release date. "We have only said mid-July so far," Google said, which is consistent with the Staples listing.
Staples did not immediately return requests for comment.
Electronista reported that warehouse devices are getting tagged and are ready to ship to people who ordered the tablet on or before June 29. The blog also said Google mistakenly offered a pre-order page a bit early last month, resulting in almost 400 pre-orders that Google will honour.

Did you order on or before June 29?
Interesting but not worth making a new thread, use this one instead
Also I call fake, or mostly fake, since the main source of information took down their article/blog post (Got a copy of the page via screenshot here: http://d.pr/i/q529). I do believe they will ship this week but doubt that it's all set in stone like that.
When are people going to read....

There are currently two retailers online for pre-ordering the Nexus 7
There are two parts to this guide.
PART 1 : Ordering
PHYSICALLY
-Gamestop
Check if your country has a Gamestop outlet and you could pre-order from there (Correct me if I am wrong)
ONLINE
-Play Store(For 8GB and 16GB models) (VPN/Proxy NEEDED)
Currently you can only get this from the U.S.A. but by using a vpn to access the play store on your computer you can see the page for ordering the Nexus 7. Google how to use vpns.
-Gamestop Online Store (For 16GB Model ONLY)
You can order the Nexus 7 16 GB only from here but the website works in most countries. Here is the link to order the Nexus 7: LINK
-JR.com (16 GB Model)
There is a Promotion which allows you to get the tablet for 234 USD only, for the 16 GB model. Thanks to the forum post here and the OP
Part 2: Shipping
To ship the Nexus 7 from the U.S.A you can use any shipping forwarder, for example Vpost, Comgateway, or Borderlinx.
Vpost is mostly in Asia.
Comgateway ships to many countries and so does Borderlinx.
Borderlinx is the best forwarder IMO but requires you to have a citibank card. If anyone has other forwarder recommendations please post below
After making an account on either site, you will get a US address which you would need to put for the address that Gamestop or the Play Store will be shipping to. Comgateway/Vpost/Borderlinx will then from that address ship it to you wherever you are.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful
There is already a sticky covering different places to buy the Nexus 7 from, continue all further discussion there.

I'm one of the folks who ordered the N7 during the $234 sale they had a week ago. I've been wondering if our orders would be on the same schedule as Staples/PlayStore/etc. but I'm not so sure. Yesterday, I received this email.
"We are sorry to inform you that the following item(s) you ordered
are currently not in stock. We have these on order with the manufacturer,
and hope to have them available shortly. We sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause you. Please be assured that we are doing our
best to obtain these for you as quickly as possible. If this is a "special
order" or a "pre-order" item, please be aware that this email is
automatically sent on all orders that are waiting for stock to arrive.
There is no need to contact us for a substitution on pre-orders or special
orders. If you would like to contact us, please use the information below."
Anybody else get this? Has anyone heard anything else from J&R?
Read the Slickdeals thread it was a standard email for preorders
Same with me. Though I bet J&R will get them from Google when Google ships theirs to consumers. So say next week. Then there will be waves because of the ridiculous amount of people that used that option. Then it will talk 1-2 weeks to reach your door.
Basically, expect it next month. Although you could buy some cheap iPod touches locally on Craig's list and trade them in to gamestop for a profit. Then you can get the nexus next week for about $150 total

Originally posted this in the deal section but since this is only for the Nexus 7 so figured I'll post here again and hope help more N7 buyers.
I am just listing some online vendor that sells N7 along with available coupon/disounts.
Then Staples currently shows out of stock - Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)
But you can first get this $7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card and use to pre-order or buy it later when it's in stock.
Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.
Office Depot - showing pre-sale but according to the staff, they'll start shipping next week. My order placed on the 11th just marked as shipped today.
here are some free item coupon you can add to the cart at checkout. (not sure if you can combine them all)
336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit
823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies
156437297 - Free Mystery Gift
595897257 - $15 Gas card
Below places also sells N7 and you can use bigcrumbs.com to get some cash back. For those who doesn't know about this site, its like Fat Wallet but it offers more cash back with faster payout.
N7 @ Office Depot - up to 4.2%
N7 @ Adorama - up to 2.8%
N7 @ GameStop - up to 3.5%
If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.
There is a sticky for such discussions.

I posted this over on Google+ but thought I'd share it over here too. Here's my original post on Google+. Hopefully this wasn't already covered in one of the existing threads, if it was, my apologies.
Still waiting for +Google Play to charge you for your #Nexus7 order and provide shipping details? Did you include the #Nexus7Cover with your pre-order? Read on...
After waiting an hour and a half in the call queue to Customer Support (with an awful infinite loop of a single song), I finally got to speak to a CSR. He looked at my order and explained why I haven't been charged or received any shipping details. As it turns out, they don't have enough stock of the Nexus 7 Cover to fulfill orders. He also mentioned that his personal order looks almost exactly like mine and he just was charged / received his shipping info today. As for when I might receive my details, he mentioned he didn't want to provide me a date (understandable), but that I should be charged/receive shipping details in the next day or two...and ultimately receive my tablet by early next week.
I asked about the possibility of removing the cover from my order to have the tablet shipped out sooner, but he explained that the only way to remove a line item is to cancel the entire order and resubmit it (and I'm not willing to go to the back of the queue).
While I'm disappointed the cover is the reason for the delay, I can say that I'm very happy to know what's going on and that my order wasn't forgotten about.
Please post a comment below if you also pre-ordered the cover and whether or not your Nexus 7 has shipped.

Hi Guys,
Just got an email from Samsung about a Blue Box Sale for one day only October 1st, went to the site and it showing a clock count down which was at 9 hours, so not sure if thats the time left or the time before it starts ( being as October 1st isn't here yet in UK time zone )
My email stated 10% of everything but when I put the Note 4 in my cart it still showed at the same price so not sure what gives,
The good news is it's also still show the free Gear fit if you pre order. but it doesn't show in the cart
Now I can't copy the email but the same deal is posted HERE
Personally I think if they are giving discount and or a free gift it should show in your cart, didn't want to hit the button without some form of verification

I had the same thought too... And after initially seeing the free gear fit if you preorder i noticed it was no longer showing... not sure what to do now
Not sure what time zone they are using, counter is showing 9+ hours. and for me in the UK October 1st isn't here yet
Couple of minutes left till 1st October.

Looks like they're going to start it at 9am, not midnight. Also, I would be very surprised to see the Note 4 pre-order to be discounted as part of this.
