TNT lost my nexus - Nexus 7 General

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.

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

Thanks all managed to get through to Google tonight on the phone, and seemed genuinely sympathetic to me and have opened a support ticket and sent it to a specialist who will work directly with Tnt....let's see how we go

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.

For People Who Have Returned the Nexus 7 to Google Play

What is the procedure for returning the device? I'm about to order from the Play Store, but I'd like to ask a few questions in case I get a lemon and have to return it to Google.
Do they get a TNT courier to pick up the defective unit? Also, I read in another thread that they ship a new one out and then pick up the defective one so you at least have the defective unit until you get the new one. Is this correct? I'm in the UK if that matters.
Any insight into the process is appreciated! Thank you!
They send you a rma and shippong label you send it back ups. I called yesterday havent sent the email with rma yet. They also have this posted on the website.

Gamestop Returns

So my nexus 7 has a little bit of screen lift and also the screen flickering issue, so I think I may need to replace it. I bought it from Gamestop on July 17. Has anybody had any experience returning their Nexus 7 to Gamestop? How should I go about getting an exchange?
I bought from GS but no problem that I noticed thus far

Call them and they will get you one top priority. Google would do a mail exchange if you wish but gs will take care of you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yea definitely let them know. I let them know Wednesday in the morning and by Thursday morning google had already shipped them my new unit! a lot quicker than i thought it would take.
Thanks for the responses. So the way to go is to call GS?
Also, I have an XOSkin screen protector on it. I bought it from them based off the excellent customer service reviews they had, so is there any way I can get a new one from them? If I need to, I guess I can always pull it off and reapply?

Seeing as most gamestops don't have an exchange stock. You either have the manager at your local GameStop handle it. He speaks to his superiors and try to get an exchange sent out.
OR you call GameStop 1800 number and in my case they told ,e the district manager will call me in a few days to discuss options including getting a new tablet shipped from another GameStop in order to be able to conduct my exchange.
In both cases they were very clear in telling me that even if the 30 day exchange period passes they would still honor my exchange since there is no immediate stock available.
Hopefully the next wave of shipments hits in august. I remember my original receipt have a date of august 7.

Honestly my biggest concern is that I am a student and I am leaving to go back to school in a couple of weeks and I want to get that done before I move.
The store I purchased my Nexus 7 from told me no later than August 7. So my guess is that round 2 is coming on or before AUG 7.
I went to my gamestop 7 days after I bought it, on launch day, told them my issue and the guy first called around to other stores to see if they had any and when that failed he said he would "email the supplier and get one for me". That was Friday the 20th and on Wednesday afternoon he called and said that my replacement came in, so it took 5 days of which only 3 were "business days". Alot of people complain about Gamestop but I've had nothing but good experiences with them.
So I contacted my gamestop and they told me august 7.
I called google play customer service and they told me to call Asus or Gamestop.
I called asus and they told me that they would not replace the tablet, only fix it.
Anybody else know how I can get a replacement tablet ASAP?

Did you walk into the actual store?
I went to the store brought my nexus and told them whats up. He let me know that he didnt have any stock to exchange me with so they have to send an RMA to google. He did the request on the spot, and calls me 2 hours later letting me know google is sending me one asap. Then i get a call the next morning stating that I can exchange.
Thats it.
Easy as pie, no arguing.. (hell it was a wake and bake morning so i definitely was loopy.. :laugh: ) and my new one is a little bit newer based on serial number.. so it was all good.
Good luck

I just called the 800 number for gamestop a few days ago and got a call personally from the district manager today. She told me that they had none in stock in the area but for the next wave they'll be able to swap it for me which would be about august 12. She got my number down and will contact me as soon as either a) preorder isn't picked up or b) the next wave hits with extras for walk ins.
Either way going past the 30 day period will have no effect on your exchange policy wince they have no stock.
Btw the district manager herself has one on reserve and hasn't been able to get one yet.

I did walk into the store. Basically the guy told me that they have nothing in stock, and won't have any until August 7, so currently there is nothing to exchange it with. I'll have to go again and ask about an RMA to google.

Yea first time I called he mentioned I should call other gamestops in the area and if I still couldn't find one to call back to discuss options. I think next time you call you should mention that you have already checked local gamestops and they are all out of stock. Also mention that you are worried about the 30 day exchange period expiring.

I did exactly what you said. There were none available in the area. I spoke to a customer service manager and he said he was going to forward my info to a district manager.
I am pretty mad at GS's customer service at this point. They clearly do not know how to handle exchanges and have pretty terrible service. I was on the phone for an hour (not exaggerating) and was speaking to a person for probably only 20 min. The rest was on hold.
Anybody have any other tips/ideas for getting this exchanged fast? The district manager is supposed to call me by Wednesday, but I already know that it is going to be a mess since I will be at work, and I won't have access to my phone.

Their customer service has been great with me. Odd that you've had a bad experience. The issue at hand is that they don't have any in stock to exchange until the next wave. I was given the option of flat out returning it if I didn't want to wait but I don't mind sticking with GameStop especially how helpful they've been with me. If you are unhappy and truly want a new nexus 7 quickly I would suggest returning it and getting your money back then proceed to buy it elsewhere perhaps.

Well you can't blame them for it being a hot item and not having stock to swap it with. Just get your money back and order from the play store. Its what I did with Staples... Ordered Tuesday and delivered Thursday.
Staples do have 8gb in stock though.

I tried that, and the customer service rep quoted their return policy for tablets: No returns/refunds, exchanges only. I am just hoping when I get to speak with the district manager things go better.
If anyone is curious, or in the same situation as I am, just get in touch with the district manager ASAP. The customer service people on the 800 number from gamestop is worthless. The DM fixed everything.

To those who rejected their parcel - refunds?

Hi guys,
I know a fair few of us have rejected their parcels because we were unable to cancel orders via Google Play.
My order was returned to Computer 2000 (in the UK) and signed for by them on the 19th, however to date I have received no communication from them and no refund.
Have any of you that have rejected your parcels received your refund or any other communication from Google?
Thanks,
Chris

I never actually received mine as they messed up address label and TNT refused to let me tell them full address and then returned it before I had chance to go to depot to collect. I emailed Google at this point (through order page) on 20th and parcel was signed for by Computer 2000 on 24th so I emailed Google again on 27th, having heard nothing, and have no reply yet. I have managed to pick up a Nexus 7 in Curry's in the meantime so just want my money back.

Not great is it? Mine's been with them for 10 days now (weekend included) and I'd expect to have at least received an acknowledgment e-mail to say they'd received for the parcel.

Just phoned Google... They will not consider even looking at my case until the 8th August passes. Considering they received it back on the 19th July, I'd call it appalling service.
At least Amazon and the like acknowledge receipt of a returned parcel - Google's complete lack of communication has ruined the customer experience. I'll never order anything direct from them again.

Same situation here. I might just log a request with the credit card company anyway, force them to act.
I only actually got charged 4 days after my delivery refusal had returned to the depot somewhere in leicester (this was a separate charge to the other three or four pending charges that had fallen off my credit card) . I spoke to someone last Friday who said it would be sorted ASAP, he said it was the first time he had seen this happen, but nothing done since.
I got one from GameStop on the first day they were available. Google received my pre-order back on the 19th. I called Google & they said it could take up to 14 days to process the returned order & issue a refund. Still waiting...

You have to be refunded within 30 days of you notifying of the order cancellation, regardless of whether you have returned item or not.

I am in the US and I refused the delivery about a week ago. I had ordered a case with it and still haven't gotten the case. Back before I had refused the shipment I had sent an email about being able to keep the case and just send the Nexus 7 back. But then I found a different case and decided I would just refused it all. Well then they split the order and the case is in limbo somewhere I guess. Anyway, I got an email a coupel of days ago with RMA instructions for the Nexus 7. It was in response to my question about opening the package and taking out the case. So I sent them back the tracking numbers what showed the refused delivery and acceptance back at the shipping origin. I also asked if they could just not send the case that is still pending and just issue me my refund. I haven't heard back.
It was easy to refuse delivery, I have the free MyUPS service. When I got the package shipment notification from UPS I went in and had them hold it at the location. Since I probably wouldn't be home when it was delivered I would have had to drive it there anyway. There wasn't any option to refuse. It seemed the day before or maybe it was the day it was it the location I looked at the delivery options and there was a "Refuse" option. I chose that and they sent it back. Didn't have to drive out of my way to the UPS location or anything. I plan on doing the same if they ever send me the case.

But it's not a cancelled order. You rejected their shipment. They can take as long as they please to "process it"
And for those of you thinking of filing with your credit card company or bank: good luck. Banks and credit card companies are notorious for providing extremely slow assistance for disputed claims. They will likely go to the retailer and give them like 60 days or something insane like that to respond before they do anything.
contact number for Google (UK)?
Sounds like I am just one of many who is experience a total lack of service or concern from Google?
TNT didn't manage to show up when I was home and wasn't allowed to deliver to the neighbour (although the package my misses got from TNT the same day was dropped off just fine); TNT failed to bring out the package when I arranged for redelivery (5 days after the initial drop-off) and only other option would have been a Saturday delivery, which turned out to be a no-go due to the Olympics (yes, I am located smack in the middle of London .. "yay").
Had no option but refuse delivery and have so far heard NOTHING!
Over the course of the last week I have used the google wallet email form 5 times and not received ANY response; I have tried the phone number on top of the page twice and gotten a fax/modem (+353 (1) 436 1001).
I am at this moment beyond pissed!
ANYONE have a valid (UK) number to contact these people?
I would have expected A LOT better service from a company like Google, but when (if?) I ever get my £209 back, I guess they've thoroughly proven to me that I'll be better off with an iPad - by the time the 7" iPad will be on the market anyway.
Oh well *sigh*

Bad news for anyone who is waiting for a warranty exchange on their Nexus 4.

As I know there are many of us out there with defective handsets I thought I should pass this on. I originally received my nexus 4 on 11/29 (defective of course), I called the next day to order a warranty replacement and was told the process and that the estimated ship date was less than one week. This was actually stated on my receipt as well. After receiving no information by 12/7 I called to check on my exchanges status only to be told an error was made on my exchange request but they corrected it and it would ship at the latest by Tuesday, 12/11.
Soooo, I call today since still no word and I was told a specialist would research my order and update me directly within 48 hours. Now the clincher, this is what the specialist sent me:
"Hi again D____ ,
I've received a response from the specialist. Due to high demand, replacements for the Nexus 4 are being delayed in shipping out. The current estimate is that they will ship in 3-5 weeks.*I'm sincerely sorry for the inconvenience."
So, how do you like them apples?

The phone was shipped out Tuesday morning via 2-day air and arrived today. I am shipping my old one back tomorrow.
I hate to say it, but I think you got unlucky (I was very afraid I was going to have to wait weeks as well).

When you do the rma, do they charge you for the second until they get the defect back? I really need to send mine in due to the charger port working maybe 50% of the time but can't have another 400$ tied up with Google that long again.

no, they will not do that. once ups gets it, google is informed.
OP if you check your nexus 4 status it'll say preorder. I got the same issue as you. Still waiting on Google to ship. I called them up asking about the the 21 days to return the defective unit if I don't receive my replacement in time. They said I'll still be charged even if they can't send it out in time. Her name isf Emily ( or Emilia ).
It's because of some idiots doing exchanges for stupid reasons. Know a guy who did one because he has a scratch on the back of the phone

OK a bit off topic..I ordered a N4 off ebay(unused/factory sealed) and should be here tomorrow.If, heavens forbid, the phone is defective am i still covered by google?/ in that case who do i contact for a warranty exchange??!
Seller doesn't accept returns and says under the product description "if there is any problem with the phone you go deal with google directly"
I called Monday about starting an RMA, was told by the CSR (Katie) that I would receive an email about it. I thought it was strange she didn't ask me to do a survey, and she was pretty much uninterested the entire call. I gave it till today, then decided to phone back in and see if I had indeed been started with an RMA. Shocker, I had not. Morgan, who was quite helpful, started up the RMA right away. I got my email and the cart to order the RMA, etc. If Google thinks they're holding a $349 authorization charge on my card for 3-5 weeks, they're ****ing high.
Let us know if you get any updated info.

Does anyone know if this will be stuck at the same yellow screen for another week, just like usual? Or does it actually ship?
If you're lucky it gets updated the same day, as I've seen. If you're unlucky you may get it tomorrow, or get lost in the abyss. Here's to hoping for you.

Ordered a Nexus 5 on Oct 31st and tracking showed it was out for delivery today. Could not wait to get it! At 6:15 pm there was a knock on the door and when I opened the door I saw the UPS driver walking back to his truck. I picked up the package and called "thank you" to the driver. Once inside I opened the brown shipping box and removed the inside retail Nexus 5 box. The retail box appeared to have some damage. The blue outer sleeve was torn back on one end and the end flaps of the inner white box were also torn. Inside the box was the documentation, wall charger, USB cord, and SIM removal tool, but the Nexus 5 phone was missing! I looked back at the brown outer shipping box and then could see that someone had torn the end flap on it as well. Once they had removed the Nexus 5 phone they used packing tape to seal the shipping box and that is how it was delivered this evening to me.
The worst part is that since I could see by the tracking info that the package was out for delivery today, I went ahead and listed my current phone on eBay with a buy it now price. I figured it would take a few days to sell, but no, it sold within a few hours. so now I must send off my current phone to the buyer who has already paid me and I have no new phone. Called Google and was told that they would open an investigation and would refund the full amount of my order, but that I would have to place a new order on the Play store if I wanted to replace the stolen Nexus 5. Of course the Play store is now out of stock and new orders are having to wait 3-4 weeks for it to ship.
Update:
I ordered my replacement Nexus 5 on Nov. 7th and this time selected 2 day shipping. Play Store said it would "leave the warehouse on Nov. 22". Got an email on Nov. 11th saying it had shipped and I received it on Tuesday the 12th. Using 2 day shipping the package did not go through the Vernon, CA hub as the one that was stolen did. I received a full refund from Google for the stolen phone 8 days after reporting it. It was a pain to have this happen, but all is good now and I am loving the Nexus 5!
That's terrible.. Same thing happen to me with USPS. Had to take a hit and yell Out screw you universe!!!

Wow thats horrible! In my opinion thats worst then them loosing your package! Like you know your all excited it finally arrived and you get ripped apart emotionally because your upset! Hopefully everything works out for you!
I am really sorry to hear that. Such a ****ty situation.
If it's any consolation, it does look like those ordering this week with "2-3 week" and "3-4 week" shipping are actually seeing their packages ship immediately. So turn around time will probably be quicker than you think. It all still sucks, nonetheless.
this is some upside-down bs right here.
sorry dude. you have the imei on the box. i wonder if anyone can see where that N5 (imei) activates and starts pinging...
After reporting the incident to Google, I was sent an email asking for my consent authorizing Google to remotely disable the device with the IMEI/SERIAL number of the phone that was shipped to me. Of course I replied yes!
Oh you too man! I feel your pain. Here is my post.
BTW you should have replied I CONSENT.

Well, at least that douche won't be able to use the phone now, just a small consolation, but I guess in a situation like this you have to take what you can get :-/
somehow they knew there was a phone in that box

It is the same box as Nexus4's was. And it also had the same address from Kentucky. It's not hard to guess what's inside...

No. Should I? This is the first time I get screwed. I doubt they can do anything. It's up to sender (Google) to open insurance claim and etc.

This and file a police report!
I once lost my video card "delivered." To date I haven't figured out who the thief is!
you serously didn't call UPS yet to report the driver? tell them the time of delivery they'll know exactly who was on shift
even if it wasnt the driver, you need to report this, this is UPS losing credibility, comeonnow
Exactly. The more time you wait the note it looks like something else happened. Also. In thinking those with stolen phone should send pics and your stories to android police blog and other blogs so not publicity can be made. If thief's know people are aware there is an issue they may not rus riskh it.
