Nexus 4 Play Store Pre-order -- Speculation time!

Okay, so lots of people are going on about the Nexus 4 and pre-ordering for it. Yeah, you can pre-order, but only from carriers or third-party sales companies at the moment, and that's generally either on contract or for a marked-up price, which none of us want to do/pay, even if we do get the phone two or three days earlier than everyone else.
However I have a theory. I live in the UK and Carphone Warehouse, a shop that sells phones either SIM-free or through several UK carriers, is doing pre-orders for the Nexus 4. Though they are only doing contract pre-orders, they do say that their expected delivery date is November 13th, the day the phone is going up for sale on the Google Play Store.
I imagine Google want to be the first people to sell the phone and get it out there before everyone else, however at this rate people will be able to order the phone from Carphone Warhouse and receive it before us Google Play-ers even order the phone, and there's no way Google will be able to process so many orders and get them all out on the road on the first day, let's be realistic here.
So my theory is this; based on everything here and my own logic, pre-orders should open next week after all the reviews come out on Friday. I reckon maybe Tuesday, a week before the release of the phone. Does that sound fair and realistic? On the other hand, my logic could be incredibly flawed!
tl;dr - a shop in Britain are doing pre-orders for the device saying the expected delivery date is November 13th. For some reason I don't think Google will let them get to it first, so surely there's likely to be a pre-order, right? (We can hope!)

I sure hope so!

I don't really care about pre-orders that much, I'm more concerned about how long it will take to ship, and to arrive...hopefully we can order "expedited 1 day shipping"

The only reason I want to preorder is so that it doesn't sell out!

I want to pre-order and get the one-day shipping. That way it can be dispatched on the Tuesday and arrive on the Wednesday.

While it might be a bit late for them to be doing the preorders, I think that sounds pretty reasonable. I really hope they can get their act together with this device this time though. We don't need another N7 crisis.

I just hope hope hope that they've learned from the Nexus 7 delays, there'll be a lot of demand for this phone, hopefully they'll be able to keep up.
One day delivery for the Wednesday would be sweet

Do you know anyone who could send you one from a country that does? It would surely be cheaper than the extra $200 it might be with the markup..
Ebay might be a good option to, for one that's brand new.

Well, all I know is that I preordered the Nexus 7 right when it was up for preorder... and go it later than some people who were able to buy it from Staples or some other store that "accidentally" sold it early. Many of us who preordered it got it later than those who bought it from third-party stores. Given Google's history, I wouldn't be surprised if the play store ships out the devices later than other places.

theres no national retailer selling the nexus 4 except t mobile...
Only third party online sites. So if they open up the preorder im sure devices will be shipped on the 13-14when its outlol

Big question on ordering, do we need a signature and proof of where you live to be able to berths package? Im sending it to a friends house.

Take my money Google!

If carphone warehouse offer SIM free before the 13th, ill order from them.
Its next day delivery, and free delivery aswell.
Google usually charge about £10 delivery, whilst delivering a day or 2 later than these stores. :/

UK shipping

I think we can all agree that the original "Play Store orders and shipping thread!" thread has gotten pretty out of hand.
I was lucky enough to have ordered the nexus 4 in the morning. And like most of you my play store thing says "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012"
Has anyone actually received any tracking information?
Also I see that the payment went to somewhere in Ireland. According to a Google rep, all devices will be shipped from America but some people are thinking that it would come from Ireland. Can someone with some tracking info clear that up?
I see that some people have bought the nexus 4 early from the various places already from the UK, but let's keep this for play store purchases.
Let's see who's the first forum member to receive the device in the UK as well!
Thanks

At least if it did ship to the UK from the US it would justify the ludicrous shipping price for 2 day delivery.

When I ordered my Nexus 7 from the Play store that was also £9.99 and said two day shipping. In reality though, they were all sent next day.
I'm pretty sure that is what will happen with the N4's. At least, that's what I am hoping.

I thought this would be the case as if you go here http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411789#GB it says that Google use TNT, who only have next day delivery options.
Yet if you go through the help section on a different page it says they use DHL who do have 2 day shipping http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&hlrm=en&answer=2715831
Complete miscommunication from Google for all of this, makes it really confusing for the customer.

It is quite ridiculous for a domestic shipment.

No shipping for me yet. And I really can't imagine them sending all devices from US, seems kinda silly. I think the money has to go each area's 'HQ' (in our case, Dublin) but I think it will be shipped from some random warehouse in the UK.

Don't really think this needed a new thread. Google doesn't ship to the UK from the US. They pay a distribution company manage the processing/sending out of orders.

Hmm that is confusing. On my order it says expected delivery 15th November, so hopefully it will arrive then or before.

Since all the nexus7 devices are shipped and returned to the UK there would be no reason for it to ship from the US. My nexus7 came from Ireland so my bet is it will be the same for the n4.

well if it looks like they're shipping from Ireland doesn't that mean that they should've atleast done some orders today by now? Did any of you get shipping details?

Oh ok, I wonder how TNT/whoever are going to handle shipping. I wont be in tomorrow, wonder if they will leave it outside my door for it to be stolen, give it to my neighbour or bring it to the DEPO which is a good 30min drive from me, and I dont drive ):

So are any of you expecting it tomorrow?

Why would it arrive tomorrow?
Have people had shipped notices yet?

Google operate their business out of Ireland for tax reasons, I think its exceptionally unlikely that they would also operate their stock and shipping from there.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20288077 - Bottom of this article briefly mentions the reason behind the "Ireland" location.

The community builds an enormous hype over a phone that has not been announced and expects Google to have demand for everyone on the first day. Don't blame google.

Still available here in Australia. All versions and colours
Ships on the 5th of November!

Shipping in 2-3 weeks. USA

Some stock just popped back in for Canada for a few minutes. But now it says "leaves warehouse in 3 to 4 weeks" lol

maybe you could get it here?
Still available in the US on Google Play! wooo hooo

In the US, black 32GB says shipping in 2-3 weeks. All others say 3-4 weeks.

Italy black is sould out, white 32gb is ok

Moto Site Release Date?

Has anyone heard any rumors as to when Moto will sell the Nexus 6 through their site? I would love to use my moto credit and take advantage of no interest financing. Thanks!

I would like to know the same thing. I was sort of expecting the Play Store and Motorola to both do the pre-ordering today. I really can't afford to drop $650.00 all at once, so I wanted to use Motorolas financing like you said. There is nothing indicating any pre-sale or release date.

Ditto I'd like to know. Hopefully we'll know something by this wknd

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/10/29/...loveTechnologysBlog+(Clove+Technology's+Blog)

I wonder what is going on I mean even the N5 was up for a few hours on its first pre-order day.

That link is for the UK. It doesn't mean it is the same for the US

I really hope they let more than a handful of people get the device before the holidays. Let's see what happens next. Had anyone see heard about t mobile removing their release date of November 12?

I heard this rumor today, but I'm not sure if it's true. I really hope T-mobile will sell it on November 12th. I'm jealous of the few people who were able to pre-order the Nexus 6 from Google. So, if T-Mobile has it on the 12th, I can get the last laugh because the pre-sale devices won't be shipped until the 21st.

The 21st is a place holder. It will be shipped well before that. The purchase is pending on our cards. Most banks don't allow pending for more than 5 days without being canceled. So expect to see shipment posts in the next few days. Most likely the 3rd with the N9. It's not like they have a bunch to ship out anyway.

As others have said it's most likely going to ship sooner than the 21st...keep in mind unless you have a T-Mobile Account most stores will not sell you a device outright.

Pre-order receiving date?

For people that pre ordered on Samsung.com that says " shipping by march 8th, does that mean Samsung ships it out by the 8th or we receive our phones on the 8th? Thanks

I was thinking that no later than that date, meaning any time before and up to that date.

When I pre-ordered the S8+ from Samsung it said "Will ship by April 20th" and it arrived on the 19th. I was probably in the first wave to pre-order the S8+, and I assume I was for the S10+ as well. So, depending on how early you pre-ordered, it may be a deliver by date or a ship by date.

Back in my Note 8 days I received my phone 2 weeks before the release date when I pre ordered. Walking into TMobile (my carrier who I ordered from) or Best buy employees always asked how I got it and if it was real. But sadly still no shipping on the new S10+ yet

Sounds good thanks for the clarity guys

I preordered on the day preorders opened.
So here's hoping!

I've done three pre-orders from Samsung US and I've always received them earlier than the receiving date.
With the Note 8, I literally had it a week before it launched in stores.
With the Note 7 and S8 +, it was three days before.

My assumption is that Samsung might start shipping phones this coming Monday, the 4th or Wednesday

Yup.
When it changed to that the day after I preordered and my deposit was paid, I was beside myself with excitement.
That is now tempered with it saying the same thing for 8 days.
Ship date still says 7th March.
Edit:
Soz replied to a question that wasn't aimed at me

mine just says Ships 7th March - so i imagine if the curries doesnt **** up again this time (I wonder who they are using this year) it should arrive Fri 8th - i think is next day delivery - i remember it asked when i ordered if I wanted next day delivery - free or Sat Delivery - which was £15 extra

Thanks. Mine still has the March 15 shipping date, and there has been no update on my order I really hope that I can get the phone by next week.

I ordered on the 21st and my cancel button is now gone. And and says "EXPECTED SHIP DATE -- Will ship by Mar 8th 2019". Even before it was available for pre-order it always said March 8th for me and perhaps the one day difference some are seeing is due to different countries?
