How is it being cheapskates?

It's not so much the price for shipping, it's the frustration and lack of communication through the whole process. Some folks received their orders yesterday, and now Google are telling people next week is a likely bet to others.
£10 for shipping seems fair to me, considering how cheap the product is. But that is the shipping cost - the actual dispatch process falls far short of expectations.

i dunno what's wrong with peeps nowadays, always taking shit from these corporations, i expect them to pay me £5 and deliver it the same day i ordered.

That quote belongs on an Apple ad lol
Well my experience with the ordering and shipping hasn't been as abysmal as I could have thought. I mean, I did struggle to order in the first place, but after that all's been fine. I got my shipping email last evening, the tracking number started working two hours after, and I was delivered the phone about roughly 48 hours after my order went through.
So yeah sure, one success doesn't mean they're company of the year, and the server issues were scandalous. But the actual shipping of the phone? Not going to complain.
edt: Also, I find the screen slightly yellowish. It's not appalling, but it's not "oh god my eyes is this the sun?" good at all.

I divide the shipping costs from the product price. Yes, the price of the Nexus 4 is a steal. But for domestic shipping I expect a fast delivery for 10. So I would liked it more if they would have sold the Nexus for 360 and waived the shipping costs. I know it's the same but still...
Enough with this.....NEXUS 4 NOW!
I know, I really wish that they partnered with Amazon for the online distribution. Amazon was the only online retailer who didn't fuck up ordering or website end up crashing. Once the product was allocated, thats it, no more orders, no overselling.

I just used the phone in the o2 store..GOD DAMN! I LOVE IT!
It crashed completely and had to reboot when I tried to use the camera app though- was kinda worrying!

Nope, I'd happily pay £10 for delivery if they did it in next day/1-2 days..anything over that should be cheaper or free
I pay £50 a year for Amazon Prime, so I will pay for good service when I need to

Where are they shipping from? CA?
On the email, it says "Purchased From", so I assume it was shipped from here as well:
Google, Inc.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View
CA
94043
United States

Despite some people in So Cal already having their orders shipped, mine still just has the shipping estimate of today. I would figure they're trying to get everything out through the day, and people will start receiving them early next week.
I've been reading various N4 threads and it doesn't seem that anyone up here has had it ship yet. We're totally getting this Monday/Tuesday, aren't we? =(
Same, still says pending on my discover website too. Ugh
Let's go down to yonge and dundas and kick google's doors in.

It is almost definitely Monday / Tuesday in our hands. Even if they ship out today, I'm pretty sure UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays unless you pay a fortune.. so 2 business days takes us to Monday.

I'd imagine they have a few different facilities based on the region the order originated.
Well this guy is probably feeling worse than us and our forgotten orders.

My phone has arrived, woooo!
But I'm at work still, boooooo!
Must be in Euroland I take it? I see a bunch of people there getting them now

Yeah, Google EU seems to know how to handle retail a bit better than across the pond. I'm guessing Monday/Tuesday for us since UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday

I really wish they would tell the consumers already when the next shipment is available ... digging through the net gives a huge range of possible dates ... tomorrow, within 2 weeks, mid-december, early january ...

I guess it doesn't apply to my order.
It's still marked as complete, I have absolutely no shipping estimation on the play store.
I also checked my bank account this afternoon, no charge from Google so no surprise shipping.

Try contacting Google support and ask them directly.

Eh, this was probably due to the lack of interest initially, but Google was really good with the Nexus One. I posted earlier, but their ordering process was seamless and they even did free overnight shipping at the time.

That is weird. My order was charged right away. I didn't even know mine went through till I called my bank. My page was just frozen and I never get sent a confirmation email or anything till like an hour later.
