So i ordered the Nexus at about 1 a.m. this morning. Got the email confirmation and at 4:15 p.m. i received my tracking number.

It says expected delivery is Monday the 19th by 7 p.m. Are you f'n kidding me?

I called up a rep and he said that as long as it shipped by 4:30 p.m. i would receive next day shipping but he wouldn't go as far as to gurantee it.

If i get it on Monday i'm going to go through the roof, wtf is the purpose of ordering it online if i have to wait 4 days?

Same here! I ordered online this morning, and was even promised free overnight shipping by online chat rep. Tracking email from FedEx says Monday. Not happy.

So cancel it and go to the store to get one.

Copied from the tracking thread, possible to explain the delay:

Just got off the phone with a rep. This info might be pertinent to anyone who hasn't a received a tracking number as of yet:

A rep has informed me that tracking info won't be populated until late tonight/early tomorrow morning possibly. She said that there has been a huge demand for the Nexus, and in order to discourage fraud, some orders are randomly chosen to be put on a "24-hour hold" status. This is to verify that the information given upon ordering is indeed legit due to device being considered one of their top-tier smartphones. The rep I spoke with said that there is no way to really tell who gets the hold and who doesn't, and for new accounts at least, has nothing to do with credit checks or anything. It's just a very random sample of people who's orders will be withheld for a 24-hour period of time. In my case at least, the rep told me there is nothing on her end to indicate whether my order has been selected for this extra step. Rep also mentioned that supply is starting to become an issue and they were told to tell potential customers upon ordering that there might be a possible delay with receiving the devices.

Again, it could be possible that I receive my tracking info tonight and get it tomorrow, or it would ship out first thing in the morning and get here Monday. They just don't know yet.

Hope this helps anyone who was curious
