Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.
Additionally, you can use MrRebates.com to get 2% cash-back.
Thanks for the heads up. But it doesn't tell me if they will charge me sales tax in California. If I don't know this then it's not worth pre-ordering through them. Can anyone tell me if they do based on past experience?

From the website:
1.5 Sales tax is also charged on all shipping charges for orders delivered in Illinois.

They don't charge you until you accept the cost once they get their shipment. No risk just pre-ordering and finding out if there's sales tax later
is there any benefit buying this from Expansys vs the Play store besides that you can pre order right now?
Looks like this is for the 8gb model, do they have pre-orders up for the 16gb model?

I ordered my Galaxy Nexus from them a few months ago. Wasn't charged tax or shipping to California on, at that time, a $400 purchase.

So no tax and free shipping correct?
How long did it take for you to get your phone from your previous order?
Very curious, as I might order from Expansys

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Just weary of putting my bank info out there if I don't have to so I like to know its a sure thing before pre-ordering.
Also want to make sure this comes with a U.S. 1-year warranty from Google. I'm used to Expansys being the place you order foreign phones from and if anything goes wrong you have to ship them over to Europe or whatnot to get them fixed
What do you guys think about the price on Expansys? Will it be much bigger than 300usd compare to the Google Store? If not, I would order it from EU.

Yeah, my order came out to no tax and no charge for shipping.
Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, was ready to ship by Saturday and got it 4 days later in a small box on my doorstep via FedEx Ground.
Great phone, but looking forward to the Nexus 4 and considering ordering it from them again to save on shipping/tax to California. Plus cash back is available at various sites.

Just going to see what a few other pre-order sites have to offer.

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.

1) Are you going to be able to pick up at the store with the pre-order because when i went to the store they said they will only ship it to you
2) If they are shipping to you, did they charge you a shipping fee?
3) When you traded in your phone did they say it'll be deferred trade in, meaning you are responsible for trading it in via mail? or did they do the trade in immediately for you and you traded it in on the spot?
I ask these questions because it sounds like to me that when you pre-order in store, they basically is just ordering it for you online for you and print you out the same documents that you can just print out yourself if you ordered it online yourself.
The note 4 will come to my house. I ship back my note 3 in the box they provide. Just like a warranty phone. They didn't charge me shipping.

Yes, they charged me 6.99 for shipping.
Also note even if you finance it (EIP) you still pay the tax up front.
So I had 45.41 in tax and 6.99 in shipping for total upfront of 52.40.

As I was signing up for new service, I decided to do it in store.
I'm not sure about the trade-in with the preorder at the same time.
But I assume you can do that online.
My receipt for this looks like a printed website. Though it is from handsetorder.internal.t-mobile.com so I assume it isn't a customer facing site.
I'm a new customer and ordered online on 9/24. All I got was the signed EIP email and another one saying they received my order, with only my name, order number, date and time of order, and a number that looks like the amount due, but it doesn't even have dollar sign.
The temporary charge has now disappeared from my credit card, so I hope everything is still okay and on track.

you should see a $1 tmobile hold after it goes away (maybe a day or two later) and they will charge it a couple days before the 17th (when they ship it too you). Im in california and they said they are shipping it on the 14-15th so i will receive it on the 17th.

Do T-mobile ship by UPS or Fedex?
If UPS, can you tell it to leave it at the distribution center and you can pick it up. It doesnt need to make one try at your home first.

UPS, and if you have myUPS, then I think you can.
Exactly, have to be a myups member. I love that feature cause the center is right down the street from me but my regular driver doesn't stop here till the end of his route... so by having them hold it, I can pick up my packages at 9am instead.
Can I still pre-order and take advantage off the $200 off.What I'm going to do is upgrade my phone line that I have now and pay T-Mobile $200 down and $23 a month for 24 months.If yes could you please explain how the process works. Thanks In advance!!!

I placed my order for the promotional charger/SD card on 9/5, the day I received my new Note 8 from Verizon. Order status showed "Shipping the week of 9/25." A week or so later, that updated to "Shipping the week of 10/2."
Sometime within the last few days, though (I haven't been checking every day), the status changed to "Shipping in 6 to 8 weeks." Is this true for everyone that ordered a carrier-branded phone?
It's a bit disappointing; I would have figured that being close to the head of the line on the promotion order would've given me a fairly predictable delivery date.
I read that another person who also got that package saw similar lead out times for shipping.
He called/contacted a Sammy rep and they stated the warehouse were out of SD cards, hence the reason for the delay.

They've apparently only been giving away 256GB cards so far ... and the promotion was for a 128GB card. Perhaps this is a sign that they'll be fulfilling all of the promotional orders with 256GB cards?
Maybe they have more orders than expected and run out and as far as I remember most promotions from past always stated allow 6-8 weeks for delivery and end up being 3-4. I didn't even check status of mine and I'm kind of jealous of lucky few who got 256GB instead, but it is after all free giveaway and I think not available outside US.
Originally the offer said 6-8 weeks.

Maybe a shortage on the memory card.
One of you should simply call in and ask samsung why the added delay. As I mentioned , someone stated they died just that and was told it was a back order on the Sd card.
Yep, mines said ships oct 8th now its 6-8weeks.
The other promos said the same 6-8wks also, but ship in 2.
I wish it was for them upgrading the card to 256gb. But we will see.
Ordered mine August 29th got my unlocked note 8 and the wireless charger on 12th but no SD card. Originally it said my phone wouldn’t ship till the week of the 25th , can’t find a ship date on my sdcard . Would be nice if it was a 256GB ?

The price is good, but my primary worry is that this phone won't have factory images available or be safe to root even if the bootloader gets unlocked after a sim unlock.
I also wouldn't expect any ability to convert to an international firmware even if the modem portions are retained.

First Pre orders should be shipping out Thursday and delivered Friday on launch day. Check your bank account. TMobile will charge your card once your phone is ready to ship out. My card was charged a few hrs ago and pre order was placed on the first day.

When they ship it to you the IMEI for that phone is assigned to your account. They won't let you check out another device until you receive the first one. It's a hassle. I paid for next day
UPS shipping notification, delivery Friday. Excited about this McLaren addition.
I ordered mine on Tuesday evening via T-Mobile help on Twitter. Even transferred money into my account in case it charged early. My card was charged late on the 3rd and transaction was completed on the 4th. Hopefully I will get an update from UPS later today and so get the email update from T-Mobile with my imei. My order is a JOD upgrade. I got overnight shipping. I would have went into a store but I have to work 10-8 tomorrow do I can't get to a store.
I sure hope they ship them out tonight.

Mine says 10:45 am to 1:45 pm. Good thing my wife works from home. She's even going to work in the living room so she can see the driver when he/she comes up on the porch. 99.9% of the time, they arrive sometime closer to 6 or 7 or later.
My daughter's iPhone on Halloween last year was supposed to arrive by 1:30, it got delivered at almost 9pm. I'm not paying $8 for the 2 hour delivery window, that from everything I have read and heard, also gets missed.
Once it arrives, I will be impatiently waiting for time to clock out and get home.
I really, really want this phone but the high chance of not being able to flash the international firmware is why I'm not going to do it.
I love my TMo to International OP7 Pro
