I have the same deal as most of you. Just left KY, should be here by end of tomorrow!
This is to DC if it matters to any of you East Coast folks.

Thanks for the update; I'm hoping to see mine process out of KY with the same schedule. To Baltimore.

First post, but some movement on the Canadian front. My nexus is now complete at the top of my Google play orders, but nothing for wallet or email.

drbugsmn · Jul 16, 2012

just got the notice that it was scanned, in KY now, due tomorrow. Looks like things are starting to move out now. woot!

Finally..

This has been so much fun. I'll never forget July 2012. This is just one of the signs pointing to the Mayan calender ending.

The ones in the B&M store do include the pre-order goodies (Pre-loaded content and $25 credit) and the ones from the Play store are 4-5 days behind and cost more money. To me it's a perfectly legit reason to be upset and to not order a device from the Play store again.

For me, I'll just pay the shipping to guarantee a copy before even knowing availability (at first I didn't even know it was going to have these B&M's selling it). And, having it on my doorstep waiting for me to get back from work is nice - whenever that comes.

I don't mind it being a few days later, I don't have to go through the crazy retail pre-order / find a store with stock craziness... I did that for my $99 HP TouchPad, and the $20 is saving me that search I really didn't enjoy last time.

For a lot of people, it's a thrill to find the newest product for the lowest price in the shortest amount of time possible. I'm unfortunately not one of those people (the HP TouchPad experience was pretty miserable for me to see them in stock, then out of stock, then camping out, phone calls, etc.)

But, since I've been in this thread awhile, I do enjoy following the speculation and news

I honestly say this thread was fun. Sort of.

Welcome to Android Forums jimany.

We're glad to have you.

homegeek · Jul 16, 2012

It's funny! Google keeps saying when you call them that all preorders are shipping today and for the next 3 business days. It said the same thing on Friday. If they don't change the message then you will never know when they are done.

MassacrMan · Jul 16, 2012

Still no charge or indication that Google has even shipped mine yet.

Xyro · Jul 16, 2012

My friend, who ordered on the 28th, has just told me he has been charged. No email yet. So that's some progress for us in the UK, at least.

VeNoMzRevenge · Jul 16, 2012

Know what also sucks a little? Staples had a small window on sunday for orders.

I ordered 2 from them. It will also be here tuesday :/

CGdroid · Jul 16, 2012

Ordered on 6/27 to Baltimore,MD. The UPS tracking info has been updated an hour ago and now it says the ETA will be Tuesday, 07/17/2012, By End of Day. Current location is Louisville, KY.

stang9779 · Jul 16, 2012

Mines is in KY too. To be delivered tomorrow. I'm not sure why it's in KY if it's coming from CA and I'm in CO. I wonder if someone else is doing the shipping and distribution for google.

Yep, mine's identical - also Baltimore, MD.

It may be coming from asus, through the KY UPS distribution center. But that's all just a random guess.

Still odd since Asus HQ is CA also. Perhaps manufacturing plant elsewhere, or international?

If it was outsourced that could be the problem with the shipping.

All UPS packages go through KY to the regional processing centers IIRC. You purchased from a company or companies in California but it doesn't mean that Google had pallets of N7's sitting on their campus. Chances are they passed through CA to a 3rd party fulfillment processor via rail or tractor trailor and the midwest to be close to UPS's main package processing center or were sent directly to UPS as part their own logistics services. Shipping a package for Google or Amazon or any large company is far different than what you or I do.

Does anyone know if these UPS packages are going to require a signature? I wonder if there is a 'working remote' day in my near future...

I don't believe so. You can get around the "Adult Signature Required" by printing out a copy of the tracking sheet, sign it, and write that you authorize the driver to leave the package and use the signed sheet as an authorized signature.

This is what I did with my Galaxy Nexus. I should note that I live in an area / neighborhood where I have no qualms about a package being left on my doorstep. So there is that.

If you're concerned about it, you can request they hold the package at the distribution center and pick it up when you have time. This is a free service if you sign up for UPS MyChoice.
