We have heard that the first wave of Nexus 7 devices shipped on 7-13-2012.
NOTE of Afterthought: Remember that high-volume retail distribution is not a new business challenge. Thousands of organizations have already tackled this specific business challenge, and any one of them could have been consulted. My professional opinion is that Google failed due diligence, by being unprepared to distribute the Nexus 7 in high volumes. ( Google would have had warning and time to notify UPS given high pre-order volumes as well, so there is no good excuse for their lack of planning. )
My frustration is that an order placed on June 27th at 5:31pm PT did not ship on 7-13-2012, in the first wave of devices shipped. Google's agents expressed that they "hope" it will ship on Monday the 16th of July.
It does not even matter what the problem is on Google's end. There is no excuse good enough. I pre-ordered the very first day, and my device should have been one of the very first to ship via reasonable FIFO order fulfillment practices. As further insult I also cannot cancel the order, to buy a device that is already available locally.
As a resolution, I now expect Google to expedite my order immediately with overnight delivery. If they do not have expedited or high-priority order fulfillment, then Google can compensate me financially by refunding the charges for shipping as well as the accessory cover.
Whatever gains I could have expected by pre-ordering have been negated by Google's error. The issue is further aggravated because a host of buyers have received ship notifications, or even their devices today, Friday 13th of July, 2012.
I have a very reasonable expectation that ALL orders placed on June 27th should have been shipped on 7-13-2012's first wave. The only reason it would not have, is because Google made a human, system, programming, or logistics error.
Meanwhile, I have not been charged, nor have I received any ship notification for my device. I did everything I was supposed to do, but the implicit expectation for 'First in, First out' delivery of a pre-order was not met by Google. That leaves me questioning why exactly did I bother to pre-order from Google at all?
Even Google's own customer service agent and the service supervisor were surprised to see my order had not charged, nor shipped yet, given my order date.
One way or another, make this right Google, for everyone in the same boat! Chime in if you have had similar experiences or problems.
UPDATE - Google Reps Provide a "Reason"...
As of about 2:15am CT, Google did have a reason why my package had "not shipped":
According to Google Customer Service, the overwhelming volume of orders shipping today had exceeded UPS' ability to receive them.
While that seems a very reasonable explanation on the surface, it still leaves a lot to worry about.
Google has stated that they will ship all pre-orders over the next 3 business days. That is the 13th, 16th and 17th of July, 2012.
Given this explanation, UPS and Google have some catch-up to do for Day 1 already.
So how will Google get all remaining orders shipped in the next 2 business days if they could not even get all 'Day 1' packages received into UPS systems?
Seems to me like someone, or several people really screwed this up by failing to think ahead and prepare accordingly.
You could argue that Google never did retail distribution before, but:
Google has plenty of strategic retail partners they could have asked for advice. There are thousands of internet retailers out there that could have been used as a model for how to handle the high-volume logistics challenge. Google simply did not seek out the knowledge. Ironic behavior from a company that is all about smarter ways to use information and knowledge.
When you ordered it surely you knew it would ship mid July. Its not mid July until next week. I'm 100% positive you'll get yours before Thursday next week. Just have some patience, shipping was never an exact science and you don't know what exactly could have held back shipping (if even) . Just be happy you're getting one.

Let me post a scenario for you to consider:
If you are first in line for the most awesome ride at disney world, and they suddenly started pulling everyone from the back of the line, and putting them on ahead of you. How would you feel about that.
Now imagine Google just did the same thing by prepping and labeling pre-orders for shipping since 6-27-2012. As all the orders came in, the oldest orders are stocked "in the back' of a warehousing facility. Fast forward to 7-13-2012, and the packages that they can physically access to ship are the newest arriving orders, not the oldest ones that got there first.
It is a legitimate question of Google's business rules, practices, and logistics for a high-volume retail scenario. This is not a new business concept by any means, and should have been anticipated.
I think people need to seriously chill out about the whole thing. The internet has gone a little crazy over what will amount to having to wait an extra day or two for an electronic gadget. If that is the worst of the worries in your life then consider yourself very lucky.
There is a sticky for such discussions.

Hi if anyone else here has ordered from the Currys store in uk please discuss it here shipping and dispatch confirmations etc so far Currys is stating 19th July as arrival date.
I ordered from Currys.
Mine is still showing as
Delivery within 3-5 working days Thu 19/07
Got it at a bargain price of £189.99 Delivered
I'm hoping they'll deliver faster than 3-5 days
I don't see 3-5 days, just expected 19/7.

Mine doesn't, ordered on the 28th, Currys better not screw this up :fingers-crossed:
Mine also says "Your items will be dispatched as soon as stock is available".
Ordered mine on the 1st of July. Also got the £10 discount :laugh:
I don't know why but I have 2 nexus 7 tablets showing on my order page. One of them is showing the delivery date and the other is showing the same thing as your picture. I have only been charged once though. I ordered on the 29th
The same thing happened when I ordered the Xoom from them.

I have 'Your items will be dispatched as soon as stock is available' ordered on the 30th :good:
Weird,
Thought I'd just check mine. and I have a second 'ghost' order.. (
They've taken the money already for the order I have e-mail confirmation of and it's delivery status is "Your items will be dispatched as soon as stock is available"
The second order (it's # is 96 on from the other order) shows as "Delivery within 3-5 working days Thu 19/07"
Bit miffed they took the money from my account so early, and obviously might have the hassle of having to return a bogus order..
Still £189 (and I whopping £2.37 tracking in quidco) is good enough, I can always let a mate have one at cost , £189 ain't bad..
Plus I have a Google order I made within a couple of hours of launch, I'm hoping that comes next week!
I ordered mine on the 1st but I haven't checked my order confirmation yet. The Currys website says expected 19/7 but I will check my order confirmation for the 'ghost' order and expected arrival date on there.
Also shouldn't this be in the general section?
Am I right in saying that Currys is only selling the 16GB version, same as Carphone Whorehouse?
I don't suppose anyone knows a UK retailer that's selling the 8GB version besides Google Play?

I have 3 orders showing and to be honest I have no idea how their system works. 1 showing 'delivery soon as stock etc..' and the other two states '3-5 working days 19/07'. I called them a day after I found out. Chap on the phone said it should only show 1, asked him to cancel the two dormant ones. He said he did, but they were still there. However I was assured only one payment was taken.
The whole thing just seems like a shambles, we shall see.

Anyone preorder real early and still not have shipping info? I preordered at 1130 cst, June 27 (before the play store was taken down) and still have no shipping email. My wallet account is unchanged, though it does show my order. I've seen several reports including a friend of mine who ordered days after me getting their shipping emails. Does Google not ship their product's in the order they received? Anyone who ordered that first day early not have their shipping info?

I'm on the same boat ordered the 27th, and still no shipping email. My friend ordered 3 days after me and has his shipping email. Whack!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
At least, when you call their hotline, they answer your call in the order in which it was received!! Not sure how shipping the newest orders first is a good business practice. (Based off the thread with all the order information, I believe there is a clear pattern to shipments)
Ordered just minutes after the keynote announcement. No email. No wallet changes. No charges. No shipping. No communication!
No. I'm not frustrated that some ordered after me and already got all of the above. Good for you!
I'm frustrated because I'm not allowed to cancel an order that was not charged. Was not shipped. Was not communicated. Is it not clear to all that they dropped the ball with LIFO shipping??
This is NOT about the set expectation of 2 to 3 weeks! That is completely understood! This is about how things in life work! Waiting in line for concert tickets before they sell out comes to mind. You get them based on your position in the line! If they sell out then sorry... Rather than waiting a week to order, some people were sitting and waiting for the ability to order first!
This is about Ricky Bobby! If you're not first, you're last!
There were plenty of people watching the keynote. Google fans, press, and competition. As fans which ordered their device as soon as the order site came up, why are we being made to wait at the back of the line??? And people that were slow to pull the trigger are getting all their shipping info first??? Am I missing something? Is this bizzaro ordering???
I ordered on the 27th at noon and got my email Friday night that it shipped.
16GB no case.
..........
You aren't alone my friend.
Ordered a 8GB during the keynote on the 27th + ordered the gray case. No information received yet. I already picked up a 16GB model at Sam's so I am going to return the 8GB to Google Play... but I would love the case!
I ordered on the 28th and I haven't been charged or seen shipping.
I also ordered the case, so maybe that's holding up my status change.
I was late to the game compared to some of you other guys. I preordered the evening of the 10th. A day later I was charged, which told me maybe it has shipped? I've received nothing though, and I can't seem to find a way within Google Wallet to check the status of the order number.
I can't argue though, since a lot of you guys ordered far before me and are still waiting. But I share equal curiosity in regard to having some sort of further notification on the subject.
Play store on June 27th. Got tracking # on Saturday. 16gb. No case.

so for those who have bad experience with wirefly and are looking for a cheap alternative for pre-ordering the HTC One newegg is doing a pretty decent pre-order for new/upgrades in both black and silver variants.
http://wireless.newegg.com/ecommerce/phones/?filterbybrand=208&referringdomain=newegg
in retrospect its a slight price difference being 129.99(newegg) vs 119.99(wirefly)
with their TEP versions being similar pricing
newegg -
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
$7.49 - Platinum Device and Data PLUS Protection - billed monthly View Details
wirefly-
$6.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed monthly View Details
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
additionally newegg does include free next day shipping vs wirefly's free standard
I for one will likely to go with the newegg route pending they are still offering it this friday. as i've had some issues in the past with wirefly.
Already wrote this in another thread, but I just wanted to throw this out there. Newegg Wireless and Wirefly are both run by Simplicity LLC, so you will be dealing directly with Simplicity by pre-ordering through either site. Newegg doesn't actually run through own "wireless" site. Simplicity technically "owns" the site, uses their name, and probably gives them x percentage for using their name and advertising. You can find more information on both websites.

damn thanks for that bit of information, it seemed weird the pre-order looked almost exactly like each other but that makes far more sense
Pre-ordered from newegg earlier today (don't know if im going to keep it over my note 2).. and now my order status says awaiting inventory... don't know if thats normal or they're low on stock.. guess I'll wait and see if it updates as it gets closer to release
So these are supposed to ship on the 19'th, correct? If that's the case, the 'next day' delivery service isn't going to mean much, as the 19'th is a Friday and the next business day is the 22'nd.

They have actually since changed their policy to read "ships when available" instead.
If they do ship on 4/19 though, next day service means you would receive your phone on Monday, while their standard 2-3 (business) day shipping would mean you could receive your phone as late as Wednesday. So it's still technically an improvement!
I ordered the 32GB black and it's since changed from "Ships When Available" to "When Pigs Fly". /s
Anyone else notice the black version isn't even listed any more? I'll be glad if I get it by the end of the month if not by the end of summer. Meanwhile, I will keep checking this thread and lurking in the main HTC One forum.
Edit: Just got an email right after I posted this from whereismyorder.com that the Black is delayed. They will switch me to Silver if I reply. Not sure what I am going to do.
This cache can be cleared, but you must do it manually. This bug can only be fixed with an update from HTC, will they release one?
Great Find!
Thanks OP! Ordered mine yesterday. I originally placed my order on 4/6 through the email that I got from htc, which was actually through Letstalk.com, but I cancelled it as soon as I saw this from Newegg.
I even got the Otterbox Commuter Case and it was still about $30 cheaper than going directly through htc. Great find, thanks!

I asked Newegg support when I might expect to see it ship. They said they are expecting them to arrive at Newegg on the 19 and ship from their warehouse within 24hrs. Not sure how accurate this is, you'd think they'll want customers to be able to get the device when it launches...

Talked to a supervisor and they are waiting on the shipment.
Once they receive the phones it takes about an hour to ship out.

"**HTC One Preorder Update** We’re as excited as everyone about the launch of the new HTC One!!! Just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve got our order in and will begin shipping the Glacial Silver model as soon as they are arrive at our distribution facility. As always, we’ll ship the phones out in the order in which they were placed.
We still don’t have confirmation when Sprint will be releasing the Stealth Black model. We’re in contact with them daily and will let everyone know what we know as soon as we know it. If you’ve preordered the Stealth Black model from us and want to switch to the Glacial Silver, simply contact customer service and they’ll gladly make that change. Thanks again for shopping with us.

If I had to bet money I'd say early customers will get an email tonight with their shipping info.

I ordered on the 5th.
I just called Wirefly and talked to Maria, she couldn't give me any date or timeframe for when they'd be getting their inventory. Thought I'd try my luck and demand that the activation fee be waived since the Best Buy in my town shows it's in stock at the store and I have the $50 off any phone deal there, but she wouldn't waive the activation fee no matter what. I ended up cancelling my order and I'm gonna head down to Best Buy right now, good luck to you all!

**HTC One Preorder Update #2** We hate it when things don’t go according to plan. To all of our wonderful Wirefly customers who placed a preorder for the HTC One: We are sorry, but we didn’t receive our shipment today as we had hoped. We expect them early next week and will be shipping them to preorder customers immediately upon arrival in the order in which we received the orders.
To make up for this inconvenience, we will be sending a $20 Visa Gift Card to all preorder customers that ordered before Friday 4/19 and are active. The card will be shipped separately within 10 days of the date your phone ships.
We apologize for this inconvenience. This is a highly anticipated phone and the phone is constrained nationwide. We thank you again for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate your business.

That's what I figured.
Not bad though. I got the phone for $119 -$100 HTC rebate = $19. Now with the $20 G.C.. I get paid $1 for the phone.

NIce! Now, if we can just get the Newegg orders to do the same...
Contacted them today and they are giving a $20 gift card or the ability to upgrade your shipping, but not both.
They should get it early next week.
I tried going to 2 Best Buy, but they can't price match mobile phones.
I got 2 on order on Amazon, but does anyone know when they'll come in?

Well amazon was letting you order them the whole time. I bet the ones placed last week ship much sooner thant the ones placed today. Also I wouldn't be surprised if they're overstating it to look good when they do ship. However maybe I shouldn't get his hopes up...
EDIT Just noticed they've removed the sentence "Chrome cast orders .... two to three months" from the page
I had placed a order for one when it has JUST become soldout on amazon since I was the idiot forgetting how google stuff sells like wildfire. My friend had made his order that night around midnight. I got a notice on the 30th from amazon that mine had shipped and thanks to my prime shipping it may show up today(saturday) if not monday the latest. His on the other hand had not shipped yet as of Friday.
I ordered mine on July 25th, just received an email with the expected delivery date of August 21st... Crap.

I guess orders dropped significantly when people saw they had to wait 2-3 months, so they removed it. I think the time window they stated is still accurate.
Ordered from Amazon the 26th, just got email saying August 20th, sigh

Ordered on July 24th... and estimated delivery is Aug 21st... 1 month wait...
I order mine the 24th from Amazon. Got an email 2 days ago that said it would be delivered on August the 6th.
Mine was ordered on the 24th and will arrive on the 5th

I'm sure the 21st is the latest it's going to arrive, and they probably gave the date to everyone who ordered it regardless of when they ordered it, and the August 21st date is only for the people towards the end of the queue. Either that, or that's when their second batch of Chromecasts are arriving. Lets hope it's the former.
I ordered mine on July 24th, and it's supposed to arrive today (Aug 5). I guess I was one of the lucky few to get the Netflix deal as well!
I've been waiting for something like this for a very long time, since the Nexus 7 has no HDMI out, and I've had a few Google Play movies that I would like to watch on the big screen. I've been using AirParrot with my 2008-vintage MacBook and Apple TV, and the video playback for Hulu and other websites is pretty poor. I'm really interested to see how Chromecast does.
Updates tomorrow.
Over the weekend, I got an e-mail with an estimated delevery of late august. Today I got another e-mail with no delevery estimate.
