OK, So It shipped from Adorama! (No Nans)

Sorry if this should be in another thread but I think it is important to know as some people may have done what I did...
So I ordered through the Play store when the Nexus first went up on the 27th and I got the 8Gb. At this point, I still have received no communication or final charge from Google. So that sucks!
Anyway, today I saw the Verge post about Adorama getting stock so I figured I take a flyer and place an order for a 16Gb (which is probably better to have than just the 8Gb) and choose overnight shipping - which was like $27 but there was no tax because Adorama is an NY Co and I am in PA. I emailed them to ask if there was any chance it would ship today and I would get it tomorrow, but I never received a reply from their customer service.
I did, however, receive an email that (I think) they sent to everyone who ordered online saying that the Nexus 7 was backordered for 10-14 days and I could cancel, or wait and not be charged until it shipped etc. Well I paid via Google checkout and I was charged immediately after the order and the charge was never removed.
So I figured I would give until tomorrow to see if I hear back from them, so I haven't cancelled the order.
So finally a few moments ago I went to the Adorama site to check on my order status and to my surprise it has SHIPPED! They attached a tracking number and the package is already in route in NJ and should be hear by tomorrow at 10:30AM!!!
What is weird is that I have received no email from Adorama with the tracking info nor has my google checkout (wallet) been updated with the tracking info - it still says "order not shipped."
The moral of the story: If you ordered from Adorama check your order on their website ASAP. And it is every possible that Google Play orders may be shipped already but the Google Wallet info has not been updated.
I won't be on here for long so I cannot answer many questions or post Screenies, but Good Luck and Good Night! :fingers-crossed:

ok

Good luck!

one more thing...
and now I have received and email confirmation from Adorama and by Google Checkout has been updated with the tracking. So it is all going smoothly.... as of now.

Same thing here says it shipped. I will have it by 10:30 am tomorrow....
I did get the back ordered email earlier.

I was also super surprised after hearing it was back ordered. I order my camera equipment from amorama so I am glad they didn't give me a reason to shop elsewhere...

All Nexus 7 tabs will get the $25 credit no matter where you get it, but ONLY the first gmail account that logs into will get the credit.

The question is, how long will this promo last? Google stated (or so I thought) "limited time only"

why is dont have status?

I'm very tempted to cancel my order and get this right now. I have to play an extra $25 for tax cause google is located in california on top of the unexpected 50$ price jump to for the 16gb and I still haven't recieved anything from them eventhough i ordered on the 27th.

Shipment coming Monday possibly Tuesday

Well I got my shipping info yesterday, and have yet to receive any update on ups of it being actually shipped.
So I call ups and asked what was going on, and why would they say delivery date of the 16th if I have seen it ship yet.
The rep said once it ships the delivery date will update to most likely to Tuesday.
Sorry to bring bad news but I just wanted to give a heads up.

I am pissed I could have bought it from Sam club cheaper and no shipping cost. I wish Google would have said retail stores would have it same time. This makes we want to dump Google and go to Apple and iOS full time.

Don't be so dramatic. Ordering from Google didn't guarantee that you get yours before anyone else. If you're getting angry over having to wait a couple of extra days, then Android is probably better off without you.
(For the record, I'm still likely to get mine even later than you get yours)

I ordered way back on the 27th from the Play store but still ran out yesterday and picked one up from a b+m store anyways. Wanted to be able to play with it over the weekend. When mine comes from Play, I'll either return this one or sell it to a buddy.
It will be worth the wait, I can assure you. This thing is all sorts of amazing.

I don't mind the wait that doesn't upset me I am upset because if they had stated retail stores would have it same week I would have bought it from there and saved shipping costs even if it was same price and now Sams club has it 20 bucks cheaper and with tax that is 40 bucks or so off.

Google could screw up 100 times over and I still would not jump over to Apple. Yes I'm pissed that I pre-ordered early from the Play store and yes GameStop pre-orders are already in their grubby hands but I will have my tablet by mid next week. Do I want to trade a few days waiting or jump over to sue happy Apple? Apple would rather kill everyone then release new/better products. The next iPhone will have the same design for 2 years minimum and the same screen size for another 5 years. And I'm not giving those bastards 30% of my app purchases just to blow it in the court room. I sold my iPad 3 two weeks ago and I have no regrets in doing so.

There's absolutely no need for yet another thread about orders/deliveries - there are stickies where you can discuss such matters.

Pre-order through Sam's Club - Don't!

If you pre-order from Sam's Club and then find/buy the Nexus 7 somewhere else, Sam's won't cancel your order!
Their "policy" is that you have one hour to cancel your order!
One hour is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I talked to a Sales Rep. who wouldn't do anything about my order but quote me their cancelation policy. I pre-ordered on 12 Jul with shipping to take place between 20 and 24 July. They probably don't have any in stock but they still won't cancel an order. They also put a hold on the funds with my bank!
Looks like I'll just have to refuse the delivery if they go that far!
Last time I'll ever order something through Sam's Club!

Still sounds much better than preordering from Google Play. No updates. No shipping confirmations. No cancellations other than perhaps refusing the delivery. So yeah, never again.

I preordered on the 28th and managed to cancel my order on the 10th july by sending an email request, then an order status request

This is no different than the Google Play policy.
I realized I accidently ordered the 8Gb model. Called 90 minutes afterwards and they said they couldn't cancel the order since it was over an hour. Even though I was on hold for at least 45 minutes.... I'd have to refuse shipping once it got to my house. So I have two of them coming tomorrow. One of them I have to send back then wait a few weeks for the money.

Are they out of them now? I got mine Friday from Sams Club and they had like 14?

I purchased three from Google but decided to pick three up from Sam's club and one out of the three has all kinds of problem,The screen has yellow bleeding, Dead pixels,The left side of the glass is really loose & the screen flickers really bad but the other two devics are fine. If you decide to go the Sam's club route I would check it out well. Sam's club has a good exchange and return policy so at least that's good and a 1/3 chance you'll get a defective unit are decent odds

Called Google Play - Unreal!!!!!

I called Google Play store and after 45 mins on hold I got through. The guy checked my account and told me that everything looks OK on his end and he does not know why my order was not shipped yet. All I ordered was the Nexus 7, so not sure about the hold up. He said "thank you so much for being patient with us, and I understand the frustration but all pre-orders should be shipped out by wednesday this week. Please be patient and you will get a shipping notice." I asked him if he could somehow push my order through so it gets shipped, he said "no sorry, I can not do that on my end". So now it is just a waiting game. PATHETIC!
I also asked him if he has heard anyhting about pre-order customers getting some sort of a credit for the $20 shipping we paid on our playstore order, he said "that is for the Google upper levels to decide". Very helpful. PATHETIC!!!

It's all caps level "pathetic" that a helldesk phone jokey isn't able to push your order past all the others that are backed up too? Seriously?

Thank you for creating you're own thread for a story we've read over and over. Hopefully things work out for you after Wednesday..seeing how many people have yet to get their pre-orders shipped and most won't recieve it a whole day before wednesday. But I took the time to read your rant. I'm not mad that you wanted to be heard...

Shout it out your window, instead of posting it on the forum and wasting other people's time.

Nothing ridiculous at all. It shpped mid-july like they said. And you agreed to paying shipping. If you're that upset cancel your order and wait longer.

Deeeeefinitely not worth the price tag. I would say keep it in the box until they become available, but due to most 30 day polices and all these defects, I'd just as soon hold off on purchasing the device until it's all available at once like it should have been from the beginning.

Just ordered mine too, and i didn't get no notification either! but happy to buy one.

Quick, order 100 and post it on ebay!

They are available in the play store for $20.
Unfortunately the shipping is $10 and you might have to pay tax ($2.17 - GA) for me.
I am disappointed in you google!
