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!

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
Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.
The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out.
Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.

Yes. Money is tight for me right now and $50 is enough that I want it back. It has nothing to do with being cheap.
What dya reckon the chances of getting a price match from Argos?
I purchased it in store, still have the reciept and everything.
Google told me to try it?

I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.
I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.
In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?

I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.
If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.
I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.
Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?
Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of
It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...
I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol
But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?

I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.
Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.

I saw the rumors but didn't start to really swirl until after the end of my 14 day return policy. It was the KFHD that got me into this mess, got one from amazon, didn't like it even after root but it wet my appetite to get a new toy
But in the end, it is what it is.
five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....

How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

This thread is a place for New Zealand Nexus 4 owners, or wanna-be owners to discuss/report/speculate on, or just chat about our phones. :laugh:
I've compiled a list of options showing where/how we can purchase the Nexus 4 in New Zealand...
Expert Infotech (Updated 15/7/2013)
16GB Black Nexus 4 $548.06 NZD
http://einfo.co.nz/shop/lg-nexus-e960-16gb-black-special-price-p-27320.html
2degrees Online Shop (Updated 22/7/2013)
16GB Black Nexus 4 $499 NZD
https://www.2degreesmobile.co.nz/sh...t__sorig=/SelectCat.do?catId=21&productId=290
Warehouse Stationary (Updated 15/7/2013)
16GB Black Nexus 4 $699 NZD

MobiCity NZ (Updated 15/7/2013)
16GB Black Nexus 4 $678.86NZD
http://www.mobicity.co.nz/lg-nexus-4-16gb.html
Here is the US GooglePlay Option...
Nexus 4 from Google Play USA (Updated 30/1/2013) This option involves using:
A VPN (recommend Tunnelbear), http://www.tunnelbear.com/
A parcel forwarding service in the US - NZ Post have YouShop http://www.nzpost.co.nz/products-services/online-shopping/youshop (It's worth noting that some members here have had a very mediocre experience with YouShop lately - One has even had his phone stolen after arriving in the YouShop warehouse! This is not indicative of everybody's dealings with them, but I would recommend caution with this option. There are plenty of other companies which may give you a better end result).
Setting up your Google Wallet with the YouShop address in the US (or whatever the address is of your Parcel Forwarding company)
I have read that some people have set up entirely new Google Accounts, so that may also help...
Finally you'll need a whole lot of luck - this seems to have worked for a few people, but not others.
16GB Black Nexus 4 (Ships in 1-2 weeks) $349 USD Shipping costs in the US $15 USD Shipping to NZ via Youshop $15 USD GST/DUTY $87 USD Total Cost $465 USD or $567 NZD
8GB Black Nexus 4 (Ships in 1-2 weeks) $299 USD Shipping costs in the US $15 USD Shipping to NZ via Youshop $15 USD GST/DUTY $0 Total Cost $329 USD or $401 NZD
The US Google Play Store is by far and away the cheapest option available, so if you can do this option, I would recommend you give it a go.
Here are some links to the cases and screen protectors I have on my Nexus 4...
Cases:
SF Matte Black - Rearth Ringke SLIM for LG Google Nexus 4 Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case - ECO Package [Revised Version] $9.99 USD Standard Shipping (averages 10-16 business days) $12.00 USD Total Cost $20.99 USD or $26 NZD (I have a white and a black one of these - seem pretty good so far. Light and slim. There's a minor fitment issue with the original batch of these, but the manufacturers have since revised it and they are replacing the defective ones for free)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A81H176/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A8YCUEQIOX5AP
Screen Protectors:
Google Nexus 4 Screen Protector Steinheil Dual $13.99 USD Shipping $5.04 USD Total $19.03 or $23 NZD (I have used SPG for all my phones screen protectors and they have been great. This one for the Nexus 4 has a front and back screen protector)

Good to know I am not the only one suffering. So far it seems you have already reached into most of the options, I also thought about YouPost but the amount of work required not to mention the added costs, I don't think its worth it. I am just hoping that stocks arrive at the parallel imported sites and the price isn't too hefty. I wish us kiwis weren't discriminated by Google, they have a lot of potential customers here in NZ.
Im also waiting impatiently. I guess we just have to wait, New zealand is such a tiny market compared to other countries. Im keeping an eye out for overseas stores that will ship here to get stock

Me too!!! We should hopefully know more about the price from the parallel imported stores in the next week or two. Google is potentilally missing out by not offering us (and other countries) these services (I guess it's us who ultimately miss out though)!. We may not have the biggest market, but we would be loyal! I'd also love to be able to buy my music from the playstore instead of itunes. I already have 4500 songs uploaded to google music in anticipation of having to downgrade storage on my phone from 16GB internal and 64GB external to the 16GB of the nexus 4, but I don't have the new phone to stream it on!

I reckon you would be best to hold out for the nexus 4. If you're willing to wait a little bit longer then it looks like sony might actually be bringing out a flagship model that will compete directly with the iphone 5 and SGS3 while still being very compatible with the custom rom community...that being said, I know I don't want to wait and I'd love to get my hands on a nexus 4 tomorrow!...

So I messaged LG and asked when they expected to be selling the device in NZ and the reply was they had no idea when or if they would be selling it here. That leaves this in the hands of parallel importers which will be random and pricey.
Started looking on eBay in US and Aus but it was all getting to hard but then as luck would have it I saw someone listing one on TradeMe for $735 and I just had to have it so I used the buy now lol I think this might end up being a good price for this device I just can't wait to get my hands on it.

Tell me about it. My cousin is on standby to buy this phone for me. Only problem would be if stock runs out again or it doesnt ship to her by the 21 december for the flight back to nz. I will uterly pissed if either of those situations occur. I already gave her the money for it

First this might be a nice reminder for anyone still having some credits left over, like me.
Second, I thought it would be nice to hear some recommendations for good apps/games that are a must have.
Is this just the $25 promotion for new Nexus 7's? Or does everyones credit expire, because I find that hard to believe.
Shame. I need to spend $10 quickly if this is true.

Thanks for the reminder. Used most of my $15 for rare/hard to get songs. $4.65 left to go for some more songs.
Darn I thought that was when the promo expired last year on September 30 2012, didn't know I had to use the credit within a # of days. Oh well got about $22 left lol.
Am hoping for a few sales today and tomorrow, with Android's 5th anniversary to burn my remaining credit.
Good thing I saw this, I still have $19 left.
Really?
Sorry, but where did you get this information from?
I don't think it would be smart of Google to offer credits to people for buying a device, then taking them away if you didn't finish spending them before a certain time. Plus I never received an email message from Google stating they'd be taking my credits away by a certain date.
As of today, Oct 4, 2013, I still have $16 on my account.
They have it in their Play Store help page.
Not sure why it haven expired yet though.

I'm sorry but where exactly is this offer? I haven't heard anything.

Just called tmo and was able to get a $50 credit due to the price drop and having bought the gs6 in the last 30 days. Give them a call if you recently picked up the phone before the price drop. Good luck.

Yeah but for all of us who bought it the first week and paid way more than we should have. We all get shafted. Nothing. No appreciation. A big fat one for us. Thanks T mobile.

What are you talking about? That's what happens when you early adopt... at least you got a free year of netflix.

That's not exactly true... I've received $200 in TMO credit, $100 in Visa gift cards, three new phones, due to all the crediting, and four years of Netflix. Not to mention a 128GB device when I originally bought a 64GB one. You just need to be polite and they'll do anything for you. If one representative says no, hang up and call again.
Yes, I did adopt early. Preordered and had it delivered the very next day, on Friday.
I did not get netflix it was online only. I chose to get it at a store and no I did not get $100 Visa card or and upgrade to 128gb. Because I got mine full price the wee it came out. I even tried the $50 rebate for memorial day and was declined. I personally did not get one single promotional offer.

Oh and I was very polite but I was not persistant enough. Maybe if I had more time I could have gotten something.

You should have tried the Netflix promo because it worked for any s6 within a time frame. They said it was only for pre-orders but it worked for both my phones I bought in store.

Samsungs had a website that you gave your imei and mac adress to verify your had a activated s6. After verification they emailed a Netflix code that put over a hundred dollar credit to your account.

Well to be fair it was supposed to be only for pre-orders and they got a insert with the promo info. It just happened to work with non pre-ordered phones. I think it was worded like the first 50,000 pre orders get the Netflix promo.

lucky them!
I bought my S6 on release day in a T-Mobile store. I got the Netflix deal with no problem. My wife upgraded from the Note 4 to the S6 Edge about 2 weeks before the price drop ? I called and they took $100 from the overall EIP. I'm cool with that!

to all those who got the phones on the first week of the launch
i was the first one to get the phone from a store on the launch day april 11
i was rejected for the $50 memorial day gift as it wasnt in their time frame for purchase on top of that people who got the phone a month later got the 64gb s6 for the price of 32 gb
so overall we were fools to get this phone on the first week
i wrote a letter to the customer relations @ Tmobile and they responded in a week saying the do understand the situation but cannot change the terms in the promotion , however they still went ahead and gave me a $50 credit on my bill

Some of you might have been fools for buying within the first week but I can tell you right now I was not. I knew I was not going to get the best price and miss out on alot of deals by buying the first week, I just wanted the phone and didn't want to wait.

Are you really upset because you paid top dollar and bought it the very week it came out? Are you new to buying -anything-? That's how EVERYTHING works. when something new and shiny comes out it's expensive as crap, after the initial few weeks it slowly starts dropping in price until its outdated and massively cheap or not even on the market anymore. How is someone having to explain this to you?

I would -LOVE- for you to break down how all this occurred in a step by step format so others could benefit from your way of handling their customer service in the future if you'd be so kind please. Due to various issues with Tmobile screwing me over and me finally figuring it out (related to their "warranty" that doesnt warranty -anything-) and ongoing issues within my account, I was given a MASSIVE discount on the S6, 2 free phones and 200 dollars credit, but again that was mostly due to me realizing theyve been screwing me over for a -long- while, then not giving in until they evened the score properly. (Also got the netflix promo, but that was unrelated to their compensation)

The netflix promotion was available for any and all S6/Edges during the promo timeframe, I got mine in-store the day it came out and was able to use the online promo for netflix without issue

I'm all for trying to get freebies and do it myself regularly, but if you are -honestly- upset that you got "screwed" over because you didn't get a cheaper price or special goodies on an initial release purchase, you're just being silly. that's how EVERYTHING works. the early adopters get the highest price and often buggy product in return for being "The first of the first". how does anyone not get that? It happens with quite literally everything, with technology being a leader in example.
