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.

Good luck!
Let us know if you still got charged!
I tried to cancel my order but Google rep told me it had to be done within 60 minutes. It was nor really an issue because after I had bought a 16gig N7 at Sam's (saving about $20) the monet was not there for them to charge my account.
I called my bank and they told me there would be no nsf fee. No problems as far as I am concerned.
Google should fulfill pre-orders before sending them to retail outlets

Steal N7? People have no morals or ethics. It's disgusting.
The Truth of the matter is Google specifically stated in their terms and conditions of sale that there were no cancellations. As you are unlikely to have cancelled by phone (because they wouldn't let you) you have probably just used the support web page and sent it in. That isn't valid, your order is still good.
Correct way to move forward now is to phone them and request a return which they have said they will do if you have not opened the package.
The important thing to realise is that right now you have the device you ordered. Google's card processing system is catching up. If you have not been charged you you will be soon.

I didn't think they're was a cancel online, I did mine by having them call me, and even the first rep didn't do that right.
Eventually I called back and a different rep said my request to cancel never happened even though the first rep days before said he did it.
Second rep did it again and sent it off to the appropriate people. 24-48 hours later, I received email confirmation including the order number, was cancelled.

In that case you have a good set of history to now request they come at their expense and pick it up and return your money (if charged).
It would be nicer if the delays were not 60 minutes ha as a result of the level of borkedness of this release! Good luck.
If it says it was cancelled, you will probably get a knock on the door from a UPS guy saying that you have a shipping request. You can either a) say no, keep the tablet, get charged or b) give it to him, wait 2 weeks, get a refund from google)
All you can do now is either return the package unopened to UPS (You have 5 days) or sell it on Ebay.

No way he can get less than what he paid for it, they're all selling for a profit now. plus he might get his money faster since google refund will take a couple of weeks. However if he doesn't sell it he's stuck with it.

Thanks for the reply
I contacted google last night and they said that they would send a email regarding shipping however, this has still not arrived. I then proceeded to put a complaint against google for ignoring my request for cancellation of the goods.
I bought this tablet in the UK so regarding googles policy it really does not matter if they stated "no Cancellations" as this wanders into the realms of "goods law" and statutory rights of the buyer.
I have told a friend at work that I have one for sale or return she stated that she wanted it at the cost £170. Shame, though it would have been nice to make enough extra on top for a cheeky pint!
Also forgot to mention I have already purchased the 16 gig variant through HMV at 190 quid. Also TESCO are selling these at 190 with the order number/discount voucher thing of TDX-KPHM if anyone else is interested.
If this is UK and you were charged, send it back under DSR within 7 days and they must refund you.

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

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.

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 my surprise and stupidity at the same time, i didnt realize that i should have called UPS and have them hold the item for me. Instead it was delivered at my house without anyone being there!
Next thing you know i get home and the phone is gone and a yellow pages book was on my porch.
I checked the tracking and to my surprise it said Delivered: Front porch.
Now i ask, shouldn't there be a signature confirmation on an expensive item like this and why did the damn UPS delivery guy dropped it at my porch instead of leaving a door tag.
The good thing is that i called Google right away and they will issue a refund and they are disabling the phone.

That sucks. That sucks. In my case, someone is usually around to pick it up when they leave it on the porch. My concern is the UPS guy trying to get a signature and no one at home can hear the door bell, leaving me to wait the next day or have to go to the depot later in the evening.
An AmazonLocker type arrangement is the best for those us without a front desk to take packages. In some areas the USPS has a similar locker in testing called GoPost and they now accept UPS packages; but I wouldn't know what to do if the package actually required a signature or some other snafu were to happen, so I haven't try it.
I hope you can get some recourse or compensation for the loss!
Bummer. My condolences. I dont see how other buyers can learn from this though....not much we can do differently. Either way, for this reason, google agrees to cover the cost of a replacement phone, and they fight it out with courier. Was same with nexus 7 shipping.

I was amazed when UPS left 2 different deliveries of N4's on my front porch plus a N7 all at different times without a door tag or sig. First time I've had an electronics delivery over 100.00 that was just left there like they did.. They really should require a sig or something.. Sorry to hear that happened to you.. I hope you go after the YP delivery people and get someone busted.
Its the drivers discretion to leave the package or leave a slip
I always stick a note on my door to call me before leaving the package at the door
Are you sure it was delivered to the right house? It's holiday time and there are a lot of temp drivers or drivers on new routes. I had this happen a few years ago and it turned out the new driver brought it to the wrong house. I actually stopped a UPS driver from bringing my S3 to a wrong house as well, luckily I went home on lunch and saw him walk with a box to my neighbors. I was like ***** that looks like mine! It was!!!!
Man, that sucks.
In the UK, we don't really have this culture of 'leaving it on the front porch'. Royal Mail, UPS etc either hold it and you collect it, organise a redelivery, or put it a safe, locked and secure place (if you organise one with the delivery man/company beforehand).
Hope you can get Google to send you another!

I have same experience for Nexus 7 8GB in July. I am just lucky to trace the delivery and call my friend to ask her to test the tablet for me but she said she did not receive the tablet. She run downstair and find my Nexus 7 is on door porch too. UPS guy did not do any call my friend. This is very poor service of UPS.

Make sure someone is at the delivery address on the day that the package is arriving. If no one can call them up and tell them to hold the package till another day or change the delivery address to where someone can receive it (if they let you do that).

If you sign up for UPS MyChoice you are able to leave special instructions for the driver. They have no clue what they are delivering, nor it's value and it's sad that they use their own discretion to leave it or not. I live in a large apartment complex and have seen packages just left at peoples doors, where anyone could just walk by and pick it up.

I was required to sign, too. Actually, they didn't even ring the intercom, and just left the note. Called UPS and made them come back with my N4 xD
People must not order many things online, that is how UPS/Fedex works, it is up to the driver to deem your neighborhood safe enough to leave packages at the door.
Signature confirmation is an extra charge and Ive never ordered anything that had it, because its a bad idea, packages are delivered when most people are at work so things will get returned all the time as undeliverable. The only ones who do that are ebay sellers to protect themselves, not you.
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.
I make it a point to never buy from eBayers that do not accept returns.

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.

So i ordered a Nexus 5 on the 20th of January. Google promptly shipped it out. I was supposed to receive it on the 24th of January, the tracker showed Out for delivery by today (Coming out of Concord, ON). I waited all day at home, no package. I called UPS to find out whats going on, the rep informed me that the package will be delivered on Monday January 27th, I would receive an "assurance" call on January 27 from UPS to assure me that my package will be delivered that day, I did not get that assurance call. On Monday, the tracker showed the same thing Out for delivery (Coming out of Concord, ON), the entire day passes, and still no package.
If UPS had lost my package they should inform me, they have all my information on hand, but they never bothered to do so. OK, so I call UPS and explain the situation to the customer service rep, who informs that they don't know where my package is, last known location was Concord ON on January 24th and to get my shipper to open a lost package investigation with UPS.
At this point, I called Google to inform them of the situation who proceeded with opening an "investigation" with UPS to figure out where my package is. I was given 2 options from Google
(1) one is to open an investigation to figure out where my Nexus 5
(2) cancel my order and re-order with Google (which I can't do because the Nexus 5 16GB model is out of stock on their website)
http://postimg.org/image/u1w55itzv/
tl;dr : UPS lost/stole my Nexus 5. The last known location is Concord, ON. They do not know where my package is beyond that.
While that does suck, Google has SUPERB customer service and you have nothing to worry about; except a slightly longer wait than you might have desired. UPS also is usually really good, so if a theft/loss did occur on their part, I'm sure they'll take care of you as well.
I know how you feel. Ordered mines on the 18th and it finally came in yesterday, box was ripped up, phone gone. stupid ups. The best of luck to you!

... I'm in exactly, and I mean exactly the same boat. My Nexus was supposed to be delivered on the 28th. It made it to Concord Ontario no problem then sat there.
The tracking said it was on the truck and would be delivered today, the 29th. That was in the morning. It's now after 9pm and tracking still says the same... I'm worried now.

Had this happen with USPS many times with ordering stuff online. The tracking will say "delivered" however was not in my mailbox. I eventually get my package however one time I bought g2x from eBay gave em my old shipping address by mistake. As my old address was default by paypal. Called USPS and they said they personally held my package. And that it was being sent to out to me. Well that never happened and in hindsite glad I didn't get that phone as it turns out that was a POS phone lol. Still sucked to pay $150 and nothing usps or eBay/paypal could do for me except say sorry. Of course the seller didn't insure my package

That is really crappy man, sorry to say so, but chances are your phone is also missing. Give UPS a call to confirm, don't leave it to chance. The tracker keeps saying the package will be delivered today, until you report it missing.
To make the best of a crappy situation Google customer service is pretty good. If UPS says missing, launch an investigation with Google. They will refund your order if you choose to go that route.
I'm still waiting on an answer from Google to see what they found from their investigation.

... Ok, so phoning UPS is definitely the first step right? Even though they won't do anything, they need to confirm that it's missing. Only after its confirmed missing, phone Google.
Will start the process in the morning I guess. Sheesh... What a let down.

Yes. Call ups to confirm missing/stolen phone. Then call Google and launch a missing phone investigation.

Contact UPS, then contact Google. Google should have insured the package for its worth
