Shipping date speculation

According to a couple members in a thread over on XDA who claim to have recently spoken to Google via the 1-855-83NEXUS number, Google received more orders than anticipated and as a result will potentially ship them out in waves, with people who ordered before July 1st, potentially getting their N7's early next week, and those who ordered after getting them later next week or earlier the following week.

No idea on whether or not this is true, but its still an exciting possibility and I don't doubt that Google may be able to pull it off.

Shipped early next week as in this Monday? That would mean delivery around Wednesday, two weeks. If you mean next Monday that would make it three weeks. I'd love to sign for it this Wednesday but I'll be surprised if it happens.

Yes, so high hopes for next wednesday!!

im about to get pelted with rotten tomatoes but... i called them and they said its a load of bull

google fiollows these rumours too dude
I'm pretty sure what Asus is actually doing is manufacturing these 24/7 while shipping huge quantities of the tablet from China to the launch countries on ships, and that is guaranteed to take a while(About 12 days for the US). Add about 1-5 days for customs, then they gotta ship to warehouses around the country by truck so another day or two, and then distribution to your door, which is at about 2 days for US delivery. Gotta love logistics... So BEST case scenario is about 2 weeks for a tablet to get here. At this point Google hasn't even put peoples names on any yet so don't worry about being first or last in line. It's probably more of a regional distribution center thing than a country wide list

That explanation certainly doesn't make me the most happy, but it does certainly seem the most logical
