Seriously pee'd off

If people receive their nexus 7 before me, I pre'd on the 28th two weeks ago, I'll be cancelling my order with Google and purchasing from somewhere else. Not only did I/we pay more for pre order ( extra for shipping) were getting them after other people - yeah right Google, ebuyer can have my money!

I don't think Google guarantees that you will get it before anyone else

Thats what pre order means. You buy it early to get it early.

When you are among the first to order from the only place selling said device at said time, are you not expecting to be getting it before anyone else? When people complained about the shipping cost everyone said "well hey thats what you pay to get it before everyone else" and now those same people are arguing that their own logic doesnt make sense .Not going after you or your post here just using it as a jump off point.

People will get it a day or two before you, not weeks earlier. i can't believe someone would throw such a temper tantrum over something so ridiculous.

It could be worse. At least Google is allowing some choice for people to buy from other retailers. Although their execution of that seems pretty questionable. You were able to pay extra for shipping? I didn't know there was any other shipping choice on Google Play.
A lot of people want this tablet. Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things if your tablet arrives a few days later than someone else? Some people will have theirs tomorrow for sure. If you were able to cancel and then ordered somewhere else it would likely push your arrival date even further than if you just waited for it like everyone else who ordered from Google Play.
Just hang in there, man.

Have fun cancelling, i heard you're going to have to wait for the item to come, refuse shipment, then wait for it to credit back to your account

My issue is if Google is/was able to ship units off to retailers, then why can't they do the same with the preorders? Preorder shipments should have started back when they started shipping units to retailers.

I WANT IT NOW!!
Pre-order means that you reserve your copy so that you are guaranteed a order at release. Not I ordered it on the 28th so I deserve to be the first to get EVERYTHING!!
People always think people OWE them something.. ME ME ME ME ME.
And don't reply telling me that if you run a business how your customer service should be blah blah blah.. All in all google doesn't owe you anything when they haven't even released a date yet.. They said mid july, its not mid july yet, one more week.

They definitely didn't execute things very great. No defined street date which led to reseller confusion. Maybe they couldn't set one because they weren't sure of their own availability and the units they could sell on Google Play.

I would be annoyed if the company released a date when they were going to ship and everyone else's was "OFFICIALLY" shipped before mine..
No one has gotten their N7 yet, so until massive people start getting theirs before you do.. Then I can see to be a little frustrated, but just being mad because its not getting here as fast as you want is dumb.

I've ordered from Google but I also ordered yesterday from Ebuyer. The ebuyer should be delivered this morning as it an am delivery.

Thanks for approching the topic with a bit of respect for others situations, and putting logic first. You are right and ill clarify at least in my situation, my biggest thing is that Google has room to improve their Device Launch procedures ALOT. We all want google to succeed and have many more launches, the criticism is both warranted and neccesary to support the growth of the platform we all love. Am i MAD? NO, but i dont think theres anything wrong with honest criticism of the situation, naturally the people with a vested interest are going to be the ones doing the criticising.

I just got my payment credited back for the purchase of my N7. No communication, notice or email....nothing. So I don't even know if I'm gonna get one or not. Oh well....

To me honestly, I don't care if other stores get it before me, no matter where I pre-ordered. I just care about getting it quickly. Your guaranteed to get a copy plus you get free in store credit along with a movie the whole world has seen and doesn't want to see again :/ . You'll get it when you get it

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?

I purchased my N4 the first day (US), and received it the week later. I had some SIM card reader issues, eventually got around to activating a new SIM to confirm my issues..still didn't work, so I called Nexus support this Monday night. They filed an RMA. 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).

Yeah that'd really unlucky i got my RMA 3 days after I called. But at least u can hold onto the original till the replacement ships

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.

You may get trouble going to Google and they may refer you to LG.

Indeed! Keep in mind too that the warranty is only for the original buyer and not transferable.

I ordered an RMA replacement yesterday, just got my shipping confirmation and tracking number today.
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.

Nexus 5 confirmation?

So I've been having problems with my Nexus 4 device since I've received one, and now on my third. The usual over heating issues, screen blemishing, battery life issues, problems with people hearing me, etc. Have all been issues I've had with my replacements. So, I called today and told the young woman about my issues and I asked if LG has just dropped the ball on this product, in terms of manufacturing. It was a nice convo and she asked if I would like a refund. I said no, because I've had a Nexus 4 since November, and I felt it would be wrong to get my money back. She says let me put you on hold and I'll order a replacement. After about 30 seconds, she comes back on the phone and tells me I should do the refund. She said if I could wait a couple weeks with my phone and send it back, it would be "in my best interest". I jokingly said "ohhh so you're saying to get my money back and get the Nexus 5 next month!". Expecting the usual stating of ignorance on the subject, she just says, "yes, you can use the refund to get a new phone". I didn't want to get her in trouble so I basically said gotcha, thanked her, and now I'm getting a full refund. Google is so classy, and I wanted to share this with everyone.
So, the wait for the next release seems to be shorter than we expect (early October?). What do y'all think about this? Is this a sign of things to be soon?

All right, I'm going to be honest. I came into this thread expecting a link to some random website that "confirms" the Nexus 5. Thankfully, I was wrong.
That's really cool, man. I'm sure if she got found out, she could get in some serious trouble, so it's kind of cool to see a CSR looking out for a customer instead of staying quiet and keeping their head down. One thing to note though: I'm sure when you said "next month", the kind woman interpreted that as "around next month". I don't think she was actually quoting you a timeline, just kind of saying that it'll come out here soon so you should get a refund.

I've never had any of the issues stated. Maybe it's just bad parts or bad timing. But I'd never give up on my Nexus 4. I love that phone and I'd support it all the way.

Thanks for the positive replies. She probably did mean October in terms of month, not actually 30 days, but still, I thought you all would like this info. Still I didn't release her name to protect her, but she was a very nice girl who understood my issues, and even confirmed that they existed. I get about 6 hours of usage. I probably use my phone less than average. I worm for VZW and use the GS4 more, due to LTE being faster than Net10. Anyone know a better prepaid service for the $? Net10 has been kind of slow recently... Google Now takes a while to interpret with 3 bars HSPA+. Proxy maybe the problem?

Wait, this is a conversation you had with Google customer service, or your wireless carrier? If it was Google, I can only assume that (since they are discontinuing the Nexus 4), the only way to refund or give you a "replacement" would be with a new model. T-Mobile does this all the time. If you have a phone under current warranty and they discontinue, they will give you the next "better" phone in line.
As for your Google Now, is that only when you use voice to text?

It's not necessarily the best phone in line. They give you something of similar price or similar specs. But nothing better in those terms. I've also had to deal with them in terms of this and was told on a few occasions they rarely or never do this anymore. They will keep sending you the same device. Only time they won't is if the device is out of stock or discontinued. Even then you won't like the options and its not something you can pick.

Very true that you can't pick. Maybe you had some bad luck. My friend just returned his HTC One S and T-Mo offered him a Nexus 4. Seems like a better phone to me. Also, Google usually only has one phone to offer; and, in this case, I know I would like the option.

I can only imagine how big the "Nexus 5 order and shipping thread" will be this time. Everyone is going to be so worried about getting their new phone and contemplating reasons with everyone as to why it does not ship right away, or any other problems we all had during the 4 release lol. I hope this release goes smooth and that Google has upgraded their website servers since then...

Why do you say that? Apple stores still carry iPhone 3gs' for replacements. Usually they will ramp down production but are still able to produce enough warranty phones for quite some time.

I don't know a ton about Apple's returns, especially on a 3gs. It seems crazy that Googlr would continue buying Nexus 4s and stop selling them. It's not like Apple who produces their own product. Also, I'd imagine those replacement 3gs are probably refurbs, not new.
Anyway, I hope the OP keeps us updated with what happens. I'm curious to find out why they would say it is in his best interest to wait.

My Nexus 5 stolen by UPS

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.

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.

Local Sprint store on the campus of the Sprint World Headquarters has the M8 for sale. What a nice phone! Too bad I have to wait until the 28th to get it because I'm on someone's employee plan.

Picked mine up in-store yesterday, it's probably the only good experience I've ever had in a Sprint store. This after trying for a week to buy online/through telesales with their bull**** shuffling between departments Easy Pay problems. I happened to call the store telesales had sent me to originally that had told me there was no such phone. Now they had them in, but after further reflection I decided they were so clueless the last time that I should try another store so I called the other one in town. First girl said they didnt have them in, but I called back and talked to a second person at that location and confirmed they they had them and that he'd done Easy Pay upgrades with that handset already.
Had to wait 20 minutes to be seen by someone, which is annoying but not their fault if they're that busy. Once I got to talk to a rep everythign was great, done in 10 or 15 minutes.

How much did you guys pay in store to get the m8 with easypay?

No payment, just the activation fee. Didn't bother trying to have that waived, that used to be easier but not so much anymore. (I chose to pay activation in-store, but it's usually just added to your upcoming months bill.)

You didn't have to pay sales tax or first month?

I had to pay 100 down plus the sales tax on the retail cost. Came up to about 150

I got mine yesterday from BB. I wanted to get it from Sprint, but they wouldn't let me use my upgrade! They told me easy-pay only with them...no upgrades! They really should re-think that as HTC can use all of the sales they can get. Would have been nice if they released it on all carriers 3/25/14, I would have got it then. No way am I gonna order online, I have no patience to wait! Love HTC and always buy their flagship phones, and that really skewed their sales numbers. Anyways, this phone is an absolute beast!!

Went online just to check. Apparently for an upgrade it's 100 down and a new customer 0 down. What bs. I'd just pay the extra and take my 2 year contract.

Yeah, I used my upgrade and they also bought my M7 (which was actually submerged in a mud puddle last month and still worked perfectly) for $125! Hell yeah, got out of BB paying about $87 with tax...not bad. Great build quality on these things!

I got mine in store Friday paid sales tax and 20 for casemate case

A working used M7 is worth more than twice that, you were robbed.

Well, I guess I get robbed every time I sell back my old phone for the maximum buyback allowed! I'm ok with it, I don't have time to try to sell my phone to someone for top dollar, especially knowing it was submerged in water. I'm not comfortable trying to rob anyone. I was just happy about getting the max! Plus a couple of the corners were banged up.

Got mine today. The guy at the Sprint store said it depends on your credit/whether you have a spending limit on your account or not. After checking some paperwork, he said it would be $100 down, but when he checked my account, he said I wouldn't have to make a down payment. Just had to pay the taxes.
