Begining to lose all faith in XDA Store. Ordered 8 days ago as "in stock". Not shipped. Emailed Richard yesterday. He responded they were expecting shipment today to fill all backorders and have extras. The day is now over, no email of shipment notice. Furthermore the Kaiser model has apparently been removed from their site. I can only believe Richard lied in his email. That they do not know when any kaisers will be received. Any shipment they would be recieving would have its own tracking, delivery date should not be suspect. XDA store fraudulently took my money and does not care the in the least about its customers. Richard knows exactly who is waiting for their paid merchandise and does not have the decency to tell them they have problems. Is any one else waiting for a shipment from XDA? All of you that received yours apparently were simply lucky. The Kaiser is available from other vendors (yes, at higher price) and he has prevented me from ordering elsewhere. VERY Low class outfit.
The day is not over for them as I was notified at 9 or 10PM the day mine shipped. I would email Richard again and just ask if they came in and did yours ship. Pretty simple.

this is what i received from him around 4pm EST:
yes, they came in just a while ago... over the cutoff time @ the
warehouse (1::30pm EDT) . I begged them to please process them and they
will do their best.
Good news is that they come with the TomTom and the US adapter for the
plug.

the latest update....at 8.30pm EST
seems like they were not able to ship them out as DHL already had done
their last pickup for the day. this means you will have it for sure have
it on Tuesday.

This sounds a bit harsh to me. I ordered from them just a few days ago. I haven’t received any info back from Richard yet but lets be realistic....this phone is a VERY hot item and I am sure he is inundated with requests like "I ordered 10 minutes ago....can you send me my tracking number..etc, etc,etc"
Getting items shipped to the U.S. like this is not just a piece of cake. It takes a bit of time and a bit more patience. I have no affiliation with store.xda in any way but just think that the assumption that someone lied to you because you haven’t received an email from them is a bit presumptuous. So is the assumption that other stores have them available to ship immediately.
"The key to everything is patience....You get the chicken by hatching the egg..not by smashing it"
just my 2cents.
thank you
My main business is a an investment advisor. I am held to very high service standards by government agencies (your investment results may vary oower). I can not tell people i have something, charge them for it and not give it to them and stay in business very long. Frankly the few dollars I saved was not worth it. Richard knew yesterday the shipment would not arrive in time to ship and should have said so. Frankly his lack of proactive damage control is very disappointing and it is very clear they simply do not care about customers. I do thank you for those last few posts with updates. At least I have been able to acquire all the immediate accessories while waiting (screen protectors, 6gb microSD etc.)
mjm,
Yes, there is no certainty that Richard would know exactly when his stock would arrive. When I asked him this same question yesterday -- about the stock he is expecting...he was candid..here is his reply:
Yes. Hopefully early enough so all can be processed for shipping out again
Regards,
Richard

Even AT&T stores could not forecast precisely when they would receive some of their stock... But I agree that he should have warned customers about stock issues before charging the accounts...

I ordered on Sep.30 (last sunday) so it's been 6 days since i ordered and i have yet to recieve news yet. When i asked him yesterday he told me what he told you guys, that a shipment was coming in on friday and that all the backorders will be fulfilled. Since i have not recieved a notice, im guessing that the shipment came late and they couldnt send out my kaiser, what sux more is that i live in canada so it'll take a week for me to get mine, so either next friday or the following monday
hmm... mjm2950,
why would there be any lying going on? The next shipment was coming in on Friday, as per the messages, and it did indeed come in on Friday, just not on time to be processed into inventory, prepared for shipping and sent out again. Actually, they were ready, but as you can read in the messages, there was no more DHL pickups at that time.
I feel that even with the issue that it appeared to be in stock (which was corrected), the communication has been great with anyone that mailed and that honest answers where provided. It is a p.i.t.a. to work around the scheduling mishaps with some suppliers and that is what happened with XDA receiving stock on this item.
If you were not happy with the wait, why didn't you just Cancel your order and go elsewhere and pay more? I am sure someone else sitting in the queue would be happy to receive that phone.......
PS: I heard that this issue with the stock of the phone will be fixed with a good and reliable supplier they found and also that they will offer the Tilt with contract sometime next week or so.
Mr Byte
Thank you for you input. I email twice, only one repsonse. The lying was when they sold a product they did not have and charged my card the day of order. Anyway we will never see eye to eye on the service issues. My standards are signifcanly higer across all three of my companies.

To be quite honest, i work in a very customer service driven enviroment, and i know how things work... I know that richard himself does not control the website, but is merely an employee of the company that does, richard has no control directly on the site, he may make requests to the people that do, but thats it... every company is that way..
Richard has provided by far the greatest customer service i have experienced in a long time, he is always prompt and polite when dealing with him, and also relays the information accurately as its given to him. As with any customer service representative we are all just merely puppets on a string...
As for you, you are a consumer, as a consumer you have the right to make a purchase with whomever you choose. If you feel that you have made an error in judgement then you do have the right to take your business elsewhere... Im sure that you could cancel your order and get your money back and perhaps buy one on ebay and have it shipped out right away..

I think I posted before - there were probably 5 email that I sent to get 2 back. I went as far as to go to the website and use their form just in case something was going whacky.
And like the other poster - the purchase posted mins after I made the purchase. A week later - and it was still not sent. And I got two email giving me the "it's almost here". It wasn't until I sent a "Cancel my Order" that my phone was ready to ship... :-|

The other interesting part to this is that I bought a XDA-Membership to go with this to lower the price. That wasn't refunded. I decided not to ask for it to be refunded because I want to support this site.

Glad you got all working now, with a deprecated Kaiser though
Yea I don't think they were doing any big time investments with your 700 bucks in those 48 hours. Hey they did you a favor you saved what 600 bucks and got the Barbie phone....Good luck with that. There certainly are alot more happy campers with XDA than not. I am certainly very happy ATT was so customer oriented for you and I think you made the right choice in phone for you,,,,,,...... )

rec'd Kaiser today, but not accessories
Came home to my phone today. YEAH, It is very nice. But XDA did not ship the car charger I ordered with it. Plenty of room in DHL box. Just emailed them to check on it. Now I will be up late playing with it.
Congrats your going to love it.....

If you ordered your Nexus 7 from Google Play, you paid $19.99 for 2-day shipping.
But many (if not all) Canadian customers had whose Nexus went out this week had their packages shipped UPS Standard.
I sent e-mails yesterday and today, and didn't hear back, so I finally called tonight. I had to wait 25 minutes to speak to someone, but when I did, he was friendly and nice. Looked into it, said it was a fluke, and told me they'd issue a refund.
A $10.50 refund just appeared in my Google Wallet account. Not exactly what I'd been expecting, but I suppose it's better than nothing.
If your package was shipped UPS Standard, I recommend calling.
The above was from another web site that someone else posted.
I called the main Google number, 1-855-83NEXUS and spoke to the front line worker who stated he knew nothing about the switch to standard delivery but created a ticket and forwarded it on to the powers that be. This is the same route the other person had happen. I will update later if i also get the credit.
A partial refund of the $20 Canadian shipping isn't acceptable when they've shipped weeks late to Canada.

how do you request a refund for shipping?
I just called and basically I told them that my shipping wasn't the 2 day shipping on the website and that it was UPS Standard instead.
Basically they said they'd put a request for reimbursement and said i'd hear back with them in about a week.

Not a word from them after the Initial call. Then received an email on the 4th day about the full refund. Email will not work as they do not reply to them, you have to call. They will ask you for your email account you used to order it from ie: gmail and will respond back to that account.

That's exactly right the front line worker can not do anything, he passes it on to the specialist and they look at it. Once it has been determined that there was a shipping error you will receive an email from them.
Well I just called Google Play and he pretty much said that they are aware of the issue and instantly started the process to credit my account. Good thing I saw this thread - I admit I was a little perturbed that I didn't get my 2 day shipping but I was going to let it slide. Now I'll get a small refund.

Oh I doubt that they will retroactively go back and credit everyone....only for the people that actually call in and complain. So I definitely would place the call and request a refund of the difference. I had mentioned to the person that it shipped as UPS Standard and that I paid for 2 day (wasn't much of a choice when ordering) and he said that there was some glitch somewhere and started the refund process of the difference. Didn't have any issues.
I just called the hotline that OP posted and explained to them the same thing. They said they need to forward my issue to the "shipping team", and I'll get an e-mail in a few days with a final decision as to what they will do about my request for a refund (of the shipping).

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.

Mine has also been back with Google for over a week and no word. If my phone call to them is in event full I will just file a claim with my bank.

Yes I too am having problems getting a refund they have had mine back for a week this can't be write they better get my money back soon or gonna speak to my bank.
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.
http://oft.gov.uk/business-advice/treating-customers-fairly/dshome/dsrexplained
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*
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

Hopefully its still there next week when I get paid.

This may be a stupid questions - Are we sure it would work well with the M8? Wonder why they'd give such a deep discount for a product that's ALSO compatible as an accessory with their new flagship device.
Update -
So I confirm that was a dumb questions to ask (apologies).. went and confirmed on HTC's website.
Now here's some new info though - I tried to place the order online three times and every time I got an error message that said "something went wrong"... lmao... I'n not joking... screenshot attached... So I finally picked up the phone and placed an order on phone which presented it's only challenges since the lady wasn't willing to give me a discount initially.. she said it was a web only offer.. and then I had to explain to her that my preference was to purchase it over the web except their system wouldnt let me and so finally she had to match the online offer... yay! :highfive:
It's $19.99 + $6.50 for 4 day shipping + some $2 and change in taxes...
I have one, i couldn't even get it to connect after the first time lol. Compression is also pretty noticeable compared to wired mhl.

I just ordered my Media Link HD and ran into the same problem as you.
Tried it four times via the website and each time "We're sorry, Something happened while processing your order. Please try again."
So I called the 'Order by phone' number, this number for me -> 1 866 866-7509
I explained that I am not a Sprint customer, but I was trying to purchase the accessory and got an error.
The gentleman went through and got all my information, but at the recap of the order he told me the shipping was $12.50.
I asked if there were other shipping options, as the website told me 6.50 for shipping. He told me this was the only option and recapped the order again. I was about to stop him, when he said "So with the accessory, the local tax, and shipping the total will be $21.67."
I was confused and thought he forget the shipping in the math, but I didn't care and just let it go through.
Well, I just got the confirmation email, I paid a total of $21.67. Somehow I got free shipping.
Checked the bank to confirm. Guess I got lucky somehow!
Thanks for the tip OP! I've been wanting one of these since I got my One X!

I am curious as to whether or not it's going to work this way, but for the HTC One X and the HTC One it did screen mirroring. I don't think the chromecast does that, but I could be wrong.
i sold my chromecast screw that thing!!! media link for the win....and with media link...ya dont need wifi..it can hook up to the phone over 3g 4g...
this is awesome, now i can chuck that crappy mhl cable out the window
