Just got an email from Google. The Nexus 4 will be available again today starting at 12PM PST! Hopefully I can get one before this batch sells out again.

Google limits nexus 4 purchases to 2 AWESOME

http://phandroid.com/2012/11/27/nexus-4-limit-2-units/
A person in the market thread posted his order and it showed he ordered 7 on the 13th he claims that they were for presents but who knows. Anyway after all the high priced ebay items i was hoping there would be a limit and google came through. It seems if you ordered 2 the first round you couldnt order the same variant 8 or 16 from the same account. So a single account could technically order 4 phones. Another article stated that those who ordered more than 2 would only be shipped 2. Has this happened to anyone? Did you really need more than 2? I for one hope a lot over ebayers got their plans foiled with this one.

Too little too late.

If they could get enough stock in the play store none of these greedy sellers would be able to mark up prices so much.

Call Google or they won't honor the credit on shipping

If you received a back order and you received your phone CALL GOOGLE, because they will not give you back the credit on shipping until you tell them to.
Thank you for your recent purchase on Google Play. Due to overwhelming demand, your Nexus 4 is on backorder and is expected to ship within three weeks. We’ll send you a notification when your order has shipped and will credit the shipping charges.
Don't forget to check your accounts for the credit!

Wow talking about customer service really google has a long long way to go they need to learn not from apple but at least from your small bricks and mortal shop

How do you know they won't do it until you tell them?
I just got my phone 2 days ago, maybe they are working through stuff.
If I don't see it soon I'll call but IMO it's too soon to say they won't do it unless you call.

Your Nexus 4 order is scheduled to ship this week. We’ll send you a notification, including tracking information, when it’s on the way.
Please note that your order will be charged in full when it ships. As a courtesy and to thank you for your patience, you’ll then receive a credit for the shipping charge within 7 business days.
Thanks again,
The Google Play Team

Google Says Nexus 4 Will Not Ship Until After Christmas 2012

Really Disappointing..
Google Says Nexus 4 Will Not Ship Until After Christmas 2012
It's official, many more lusting after the Nexus 4 will never get their hands on the Google handset this December, which the internet giant said is sold out for the holidays and will not ship until January, at the earliest, next year.
Attempts by Android fans to secure the 8GB model was greeted with this notice on Google's Play Store: "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon." And when it comes for the 16GB variant, buyers are advised that shipment can only be processed over the next five to six weeks.
Searches for possible available units online were generally met by notices of back orders but for the desperate, opportunistic eBay offerings await them, that is if they're willing to fork out as much as $700 for a handset that Google sells at a starting price of less than $300.
Computerworld blamed the problematic Google supply chain for the Nexus 4 retail hiccup, which only compounded the disastrous manner that Play Store has been handling the issue so far.
"Google's Play Store continues to show the Nexus 4 as being 'sold out' with no option to place an order or be notified when more units become available," Computerworld said in a report.
The Nexus 4 drought could last way into the last month of Q1 2013, according to ProductReviews.net, which would be the situation for those that were unable to place online orders, at least in the U.S. market.
For the lucky ones, they "are looking at around a 2-month wait before the smartphone delivers," the tech blog site said.
Yet the best effort seen from Google in remedying the situation was its Play Store at one time "randomly switching between showing the phone as available and showing it as coming soon," Computerworld complained.
This debacle seemed to prove that Google has a lot to learn from Apple in terms of efficient supply chain management, Phillip Elmer-Dewitt of Fortune said.
It was pity that the Nexus 4, which is the product of close collaboration between Google and LG, "has become an object lesson in how not to stage a roll-out in advance of the holidays," Mr Elmer-Dewitt said.
Despite encountering serious bumps in the Nexus 4 global push out, Google saw its shares value spiking by six per cent since the JellyBean-powered phone became commercially available in Nov 13, said a NASDAQ blog.
The stock kick-ups proved that the market and consumers responded positively with Google's decision to dip its fingers a little deeper on hardware business though crucial improvements remain wanting, analysts said.
With fewer issues attending the Nexus launch, the tech giant could have done much better in so short a time, they added.

That article is simply reading back to us what Google has listed on the Play Store and explaining to us that 5 to 6 weeks is, in fact, after Christmas.

Thank you! I didn't realize they had an expiration date.

I was supposed to look into this weeks ago but didn't. How was the Amazon promo sent to purchasers? I don't remember getting anything or was there a cutoff on that to?
Tried to contact Amazon about this but so far, one reply thought I was asking about the student price discount!!:crying:

Same here, didn't get any thing inside the retail box or email etc

Not 100% since I got all mine via Best Buy but looks like it was a separate email, just like it was for Best Buy.
The BBY email had subject "Your Complimentary Netflix Subscription Code" so check if maybe it got out in spam, bulk or junk.

Long gone by now!

Don't have my receipt handy but in store Best Buy purchases may have the code printed on the receipt as well. They were for the Google Play credit.

I got my Chromecast from Best Buy right when it first came out. My code for the 3 months of free NetFlix was printed directly on my Best Buy receipt. I'm a "Best Buy Rewards" member, so I don't know if that had any bearing on how I was presented my code, but the guy at Best Buy said something about me needing to check my email that I had associated with my Rewards account. I really can't remember why he mentioned that and I honestly don't remember even putting in my Rewards email for anything, but yea...it was printed right in the middle of my receipt.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm told it shouldn't matter whether you're a a My Best Buy member or not, aside from the system looking up your info.

Sometimes there's a grace period, though in this case my guess is that the Netflix employee that needs to turn it off has today off.
