Shipping date speculation

We've been Scroogled!

I think you made me tear

I could be wrong, that is just an educated guess. I know folks that work in the USPS processing centers and they are essentially 24-7 operations.

Google Nexus 7 pre-order buyers miffed retailers selling Android tablets first

I am echoing the same sentiment - google will never get my money directly for something they have on the playstore. Seems apple simply has better business planning then them! Anyway even if I get the galaxy nexus it will be from some third party at the same or lower price but never from google.

Amen and amen. Google simply can't be trusted with physical goods. Ever. Digital stuff is fine as they always have it in stock and delivery is immediate. Physical stuff, no thanks.

Ordered on the 6th. Sounds like I probably won't be charged till the beginning of next week with the order arriving by week's end?

Not true I ordered mine the 4th and it finalized on the 6th I just got charged for it but havnt gotten a tracking number yet I know its not to authorize my card because that went through last week.

I am wondering if I should wait the 45 minutes on the phone to call google just to yell at them and get this off my chest. I do have unlimited minutes on my account so that really should not be a problem.

What do you guys suggest?

No...I talked to one rep...he sounded like he's been through hell already and enough people have already done it. Nexus Support isn't running Google and not controlling their business decisions. Don't put the reps through anymore, it isn't their fault and they don't deserve it

Same here

Was actually planning to call google themselves and ask for a refund on the shipping charge since they are incompetent. And yes my best friend got one from Sams club! How nice is that? LOL google LOL

Florian Mueller ‏@FOSSpatents Nexus 7 now shipping. First buyers to include various patent lawyers purchasing it for immediate infringement analysis.

Was just charged

 

[andoird213]

Bite your tongue!!

 

[Claghorn]

Ah-HA! Text message from my bank that the charge from GOOGLE*Devices hit my card! No change in my Google Wallet account page yet though. (I ordered on the 27th around 3pm eastern in case anyone wonders).

It has nothing to do with tech and everything to do with the piss poor customer service that Google is providing. I'm sorry, but if you put your product up for pre-order it's not unreasonable for your customer to expect it in a reasonable amount of time. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever order a device from Google again. Ever. Apparently a company breaking their promises to their consumers and treating their customers like they don't even matter doesn't matter to your, but it does to me.

I'll be honest and say that the launch wasn't the smoothest, and there will be anxious people, even irate folks.
But people (not necessarily here, but over at xda) are talking boycotting Google products and even lawsuits. A bit much don't you think?

And yes, for me personally, a day or 5 late doesn't matter to me. I don't care if someone walks into GS and out with a N7 today while I'm still waiting for GP to ship. I lived my whole life without a tablet, I'm sure I'll survive.

I now have a pending charge from GOOGLE DEVICES.

Don't do it. The guys on the line are pretty cool but probably tired of explaining it all over and over. Not their fault, devices on the way. No harm done.
As I said earlier, when I mentioned to the guy I spoke to that Google should have said something, he just gave a little sigh and agreed.

A lawsuit is too much. A boycott of Google devices doesn't seem extreme to me. Why would you order a device from Google again? You can pre-order the same device from Gamestop and you'll get the same Play Store credit, you'll get it sooner and you won't have to pay shipping. Why in the would would you do business with Google. There is no advantage. You'll be charged more and get your device later.
