[Official] Play Store orders & shipping thread!

Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
Below is specific only to the orders from the first day the Nexus 4 was live.
Limbo 1 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 2 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 3 order fulfillment: ~91% (the majority of orders fall into this category)
"fulfillment" = shipped
Above is my educated guess on the status of the shipments that have been going out. I'm constantly tracking this and several other sources for continuing information.
Current status of orders and shipments:
Points below are confirmed:
First major batch shipped Nov 19 (upgraded to Next Day Air).
All orders that took place on the 13th that were back-ordered will be upgraded to Next Day Air for free.
Play Store Customer Service do not have any relevant information about your order. Calling them is nothing short of a complete waste of time.
Orders have not been shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. There is no pattern to the shipments, it is seemingly random. We have indisputable evidence of this.
Addendum to above: It is believed that we are finally going in order. Some of the later orders were shipped first due to an incomplete manifest.
Many people have noticed the last updated date on the Play orders page has changed. No one is certain yet what this might mean.
Points below are likely:
Logistics have been outsourced to UPS.
Order mechanics "slid" during the initial rush of the first few minutes of the product going live. This caused several issues (including an incomplete manifest sent to UPS).
Status of your order (limbos):
1) Order placed. No e-mail of any kind (including order confirmation) received.
2) Order placed. Order confirmation received. No other e-mail of any kind received.
3) Order placed. Order confirmation received. Back-order e-mail received.

Tentative US order time: 09:00AM PST
Changed "confirmed" to "tentative". 09:00AM PST is most likely, but you should be watching out regardless.
These are some of my favorite threads here! We all heard that the Nexus 4 is now official but I'd wager that a lot of us are waiting for preorders to open up on the Play Store.
Post the usual "I ordered!" "It shipped!" etc. here! I, personally, cannot wait for this guy. Just sold my S3 for it.
I did call Google to ask if they were going to open pre-orders for the device. Doesn't look like it this time around, but I was told that you will be able to purchase on November 13th and that stock would start shipping "either on the 13th or the 17th," whatever that means.
Current information (as of Nov 12):
No one knows what time the purchase will go live.
Best guesses are sometime in the morning of the 13th (office hours), or at 00:00 PST. I'm personally leaning toward the former. (NEW: see below)
There will be no pre-order on the Play Store.
Check here for specific country availability.
Check here for more information on shipping and handling for your country.
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.
Taxable charges, if any, depend on what state you're ordering from.
We do not know what shipping options will be available. Right now, only 2-day shipping is confirmed. We are hopeful for an overnight option at launch.
News added Nov 10:
Android Police got a little clarification from Google-- the rep said pretty much exactly what we've been assuming for the past couple of weeks. They also agree with me that the button will be more likely to go live in the morning sometime, rather than at midnight. See source here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/
News added Nov 13:
A German Google employee has revealed that the Nexus 4 should be selling at "around breakfast time" in Germany. He also mentioned that would be about 8-9AM. This would lead us to believe that the order form will go live at 0:00PST as originally anticipated. Germany is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time-- aka, 2AM Central, 3AM EST.[/url]

im guessing on nov 13th but they really didnt say.

From the Play Store:
Coming soon!
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.

I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included

hello guys , i am from montenegro.

+1 I want to be first in line

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the wireless dock is not available for quite a while.

Here's to hoping they do same day delivery this time around which may explain no pre order date...

It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.

In a similar fashion to the Surface RT, I believe.
I like this watch a lot. But I like a lot of first gen, poorly received consumer electronics.

What fashion was that? They didn't sell out of surface RTs, did they? .
I hope you are wrong. I really would love to see this take off.

Yes, Microsoft "sells out" of the Surfaces. Microsoft did the same things with Zunes.

I currently own a Surface Pro. (It's fantastic.) I used to own a Zune. (It was the best PMP.)
The things I really like always seem to flop.

My buddy had a zune and loved it

That is really poor customer service and very Un-Customer like from the "UnCarrier". I would honstly email the CEO of T-Mobile and see what he says.

exactly! This is unacceptable. T-Mobile should honor all of the purchases. I wouldn't mind waiting a month if I came to me at the 209.99 promo price. I placed my order tonight using some new promo for 30pct off, Card has been charged and order confirmed. I hope I get mine!

Unless Samsung only manufactured a limited amount of these things and carriers will not be replenishing their stocks. On the launch day of the Note 3, the store I went to only had two. I was not looking to get one anyway because I have heard mixed reviews but if they pursue a second generation version of the watch maybe this time they will get it right.

Trying to preorder but keep getting a processing error. and the site is awfully slow. For those that were able to complete the process, whats the shopping time on the devices? I know tmobile stores have them in stock but just not releasing to the public.

Disappointing gold is not available yet so I ordered White.

When you get to the payment breakdown screen, look at the top right and there are 2 tabs, you will be on the "monthly payments" tab (I think), just switch that over to the "one payment" tab.

I bought mine over the phone since I was having issues with my address on the website and the rep confirmed that if you pick over night shipping you will get it by Monday night (3/30) the latest.

have to get ready for work soon. the site keeps crashing. :-/. this sucks

Download the Shop Samsung app in the Samsung store and hit the Promotions link on the left side menu. From the Note 8 of course.

Ugh. I'm not activating it till tomorrow. I tried using my note 3 but it wouldn't work.

Kind of unrelated but when I went to that Samsung app it showed an option to purchase a s8 plus for 11.99 total price. I tried to do it but then it popped up to 899. Luckily I took a screen shot, wonder if I can press this and get a second phone for $12 ?

I registered for the camera gift yesterday evening. It shipped this evening and I should have it on Monday per FedEx tracking, woot!

You need to do it from your Note 8 even though the web site says you can do it via the web. It would just link me to the Samsung app. Once I opened that it recognized my Note 8 and asked me the basic questions and then I made my choice. I took a picture of the receipt and within an hour I got the "Congratulations" email. They are supposed to ship around 9/25 based on what the Samsung app said.

If you order direct from Samsung everything comes together. If you order from a carrier, you have to send in documentation before they ship the gifts to you.

Note sure what to say. I could understand that if Samsung was shipping early and the free items came with it but I don't believe Samsung is shipping yet. The only carrier I know for sure has shipped is VZW and since this is a an offer direct from Samsung, not sure how anyone in the US would have received their gifts yet.

I'm with Sprint and got mine Tuesday around noon. Went to Best buy for a case and they had to go in the back to bring them out, so I got a case and screen protector. The girl who sold me them looked all "butt-hurt" because her Note8 wasn't coming till Wednesday or Thursday. Ordered my 360 camera and it was processed and shipped on Thursday, should be here Saturday or Monday. And I got $200 off the phone too! Battery life is AMAZING and the Gearvr that shipped with the S8+ works great too...phone stays cool and zero lag

Almond variant global waiting room

Just thought I'd create a thread for those of us that ordered the Almond color. Ordered mine the day it dropped on the site and it appears it'll ship around the 24th. I really thought this one was worth waiting for. You guys who ordered it like I did please chime in here.

I received it last Sunday. It looks class. Gonna rock a clear case with it which is arriving today.

Yes, I did. Will be here next Wednesday.

I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

And I guess this thread is pointless clutter since there's already a waiting room thread made weeks ago...... But that's how xda is no one uses the threads already created so we just end up with clutter... Just because it's a different color doesn't mean it needs it's own thread.... There's already a waiting room....

Hmm, I just did a search for the waiting room thread, can't find it anywhere in my searches. Since the Almond was not released at the same time and is a limited edition, I think a separate thread is well warranted. So I suppose the only thing that could be clutter is someone who is not waiting for this color of phone.
But what do I know? I've only been around these sites for 10+ years.

When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

Oh I am as well. Finally got shipping info and I'll have mine Tuesday or hopefully sooner. Can't wait to see that beauty. I feel your pain man, it seems as if every darn company goes across the globe for service center workers which is seriously annoying. While I am sympathetic to OP in lieu of some fast growth they should have thought more about the reps talking to the world and having some good English knowledge. Thanks for sharing your smartphone walk here. In my case I started with the LG G3 (BLACK), went to Note 5 (black), S8 (black), note 8b(black), so (blue for 30 days then sold it). Op5t (black), op6 (black then red), 6t (mirror black), stint with a Mi8 (blue sold after 2 months - wanted to try Xiaomi), gotbq P2XL (black)b my current 2 dailys are P2XL AND OP6T. Looking forward to a limited edition 7 Pro myself ??

I'm going to have mine Monday according to the tracking info I have now. I will post some pics as soon as I have it up and running the way I want. Or sooner, lol.
Suffer me this. My smartphone 'walk' actually started with the Motorola A4500, code named Napoleon, also known as the Q9n. It was a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that we had to hack to unlock the GPS chip for third party apps. It was probably this first phone to really run google maps on Verizon. It was never released, maybe about 200 or so were 'leaked' out to the public. It was cool because it said "Engineering Release Only" on one side and "Not for the Public" on the other.
My Android walk was the A855, then the Galaxy Nexus, toyed with the Motorola razrM just because I got one that the bootloader could be unlocked on, then the HTC One M8 because it could be unlocked as well and the Gnex was getting old. Samsung doesn't make phones to last IMHO. Then Motorola with the Nexus 6. Motorola makes phones. I didn't see anything with what I wanted in a phone that would outdo the Nexus 6 until the Oneplus 6T, four years later. And here I am now. The 6T has been a finicky beast when it comes to flashing ROM's and such. For me, especially restoring Nandroids. So when I got soft bricked recently, I saw the 7 Pro and then in Almond and figured, I'll get that one, rock it, root it, rom it, and then just enjoy it for a few years. Screw all the updates. I learned on the A855 that although being able to run the latest on it is not always the greatest as the hardware was pretty much designed for the software available at the time. It might go one or two steps, but then your performance is going to fall off. That's why my Nexus lasted four years. It's still on Lolipop 5.1.1 and running well as it is again my daily driver while I wait to get this one.

Well, its here. I'm on my nexus 6 right now so I hope I can figure out how to post the one picture. The almond back is sort of pearlish and I really like the gold outer band. I've got it charged and now to go full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes and unlock the bootloader etc.
