Same here. Fucking Google.

EDIT: I ordered 1 phone.

Thanks for the edit.

What time of day did you order it?

 

[fluffydelusions]

just one phone guys

Did it have the "pending" in google wallet?

 

[navanman]

just one phone guys

I'm going to rage SO hard if its delayed by 3 weeks.

 

[KarmaCow]

If they're shipping phones that have been already ordered 3 weeks from now, the chances of them restocking any time soon is pretty much zero right? :/

Finally UPS updated tracking.

It's here as of 1:25PM
Louisville, KY, United States, Thursday, 11/15/2012

I'm in NYC. Not sure if I will get it tomorrow or what.

Yeah, I'm in NYC as well. No updates since this morning. It would be fantastic if it came tomorrow, but not holding my breathe.



I thought UPS 2nd Day Air delivers on Saturday? Anyone know?

They don't. I don't know why none of these companies deliver on Saturday

yep, i was just surprised cause i was actually one who ordered them quite early. guess im gonna cancel the order. right now i dont have a phone, and i dont wanna wait till its available.

 

[criesofthepast]

shit, just got an email from google. my nexus 4 will be shipped in the next three weeks

Wow. That's some bullshit.

Blablurn don't cancel yet! Don't you have a flip phone to use for a few more days just to see if they get their act together over the weekend into early next week?

Google Wallet says Order Date: November 13, 2012 8:22:25 AM UTC .

 

[Blimblim]

Got the 3 weeks delay email too, for France. They remove the shipping cost as a compensation, but it still sucks :/
Order date: November 13, 2012 12:54:47 AM UTC-8

 

[DeadFalling]

Hah. You'll be even lucky if you get it Monday. I'm betting mid-week now for a lot of us.

Yep... Bullshit that they had the nerve to charge $14 shipping for this bullshit.

edit:
Bullshit.

I guess this is the email you got. Others at xda getting the same thing

I was reading a Macrumors thread about those waiting for their iPhone 5 deliveries and many of them had success signing up for UPS My Choice and having it held at their local facility (not UPS Store. That requires an extra day for drop off) the day it arrives (hopefully tomorrow/Saturday) for pick-up.

F SAKE!! Was your card charged already? My order is showing as pending but my bank account has been charged already for the phone & bumper.

 

[Taco_Human]

classic family plan?

Yep. His upgrade was due back in August but I'm waiting for a decent phone. I was lucky this one came out.

 

[hitsugi]

We've known that whatever orders didn't go out until today wouldn't arrive until Mon-Tues.. It sucks, but at this point I'm just hoping I don't get one of those delayed emails. Kind of a bummer going from all this hype to delays to may not even get the phone this month

my account has been charged

It doesn't look like I've been charged yet, but my bank has a 24 hours delay between the actual charge and it being visible on their web site, so it might have been...

No, Germany. My account language is English though.

 

[abunai]

I'm actually sort of glad I didn't manage to get in on the first batch, this seems ridiculous.

guess im gonna buy a different phone then

Wow, that sucks big time. I feel for you, guys :/.

Well, if that is the only problem, there are adapters for that I believe (so you can use your Micro Sim as a regular Sim). Someone posted one a couple of pages ago. It was only like 1-2$.

 

[rc213]

I don't think I can survive on this iPhone 3GS for more than one week. Hope I don't get back ordered.

going to be a nervous wait for the rest of the day here now to see if I get the dreaded delay email.

lol. I'm going to call google the second it goes past the 3-5 days estimate and demand a refund on shipping.

In Canada here. Ordered at 11:44 am. Still pending on google wallet with funds held but charge not posted on my credit card.

Wow that fucking sucks :\ part of me is glad I didn't get an order in now.

I just chatted with a USP rep, and no dice. He said that option isn't available before the first delivery attempt, or while the package is in transition.

 

[The Faceless Master]

ask yourself this question: is saving $150 worth burning the upgrade?

the value of the upgrade can be more than that price depending on if you want a phone next year and what that phone is... or you could even get an expensive device with the upgrade and sell it for more than the entire cost of the Nexus 4, etc... how much are T-Mobile GS3s and Note2s going for on ebay?

 

[hitsugi]

I guess at this point our thread has turned into the "wait and see if you're on backorder" thread D: jeez.

 

[DeadFalling]

Yeah I'm stressed now since I've received no update past Order complete

 

[Chili]

So many elements of a cock up from Google I don't even know where to begin. I thought the whole point of not having a preorder was so that they don't oversell the number of devices they actually have. And they should have figured that out on Tuesday. "Oh, we have 2,000 orders but 1,500 phones. We should let the people know they won't be receiving their phones for a while." And, logic would dictate, that it would be the last 500 people who ordered. It seems they just started sending out orders randomly until they ran out and sent that email to everyone else. Ridiculous.

 

[The Faceless Master]

iirc, Fedex will hold, UPS won't until there's at least 1 attempt.

 

[Blablurn]

keep the order or not. the pressure. otherwise i would buy the xperia s now :/

 

[Marco1]

I have not received my 3 week notice yet but I now know it's coming.
I sold my galaxyS3 once I got my pre-order accepted in the knowledge that it would arrive this week.
How do these huge companies fuck up on things such as this, they should have this nailed down perfectly.

 

[Blimblim]

I really wonder if the Nexus 4 actually a much bigger success than anticipated, or if it's just Google wanting to put it on sell as soon as possible even though they had very little stock.
And if it's the second choice, why would they do that...

 

[Marco1]

keep the order or not. the pressure. otherwise i would buy the xperia s now :/

I will be cancelling if mine doesn't come through, my attitude is give my money to a company that deserves it.

 

[The Faceless Master]

even the launch is Beta!

[criesofthepast]

Why not just keep the nexus order, buy the Xperia from a local store today and then when you get the nexus you can return the Xperia? If the nexus is the phone you want then don't settle for another phone because of a 3 week wait. (as unfortunate as it is)

 

[Blablurn]

im the same right now, guess im just gonna cancel. get a cheaper xperia s... and buy the nexus 7 i wanted anyway.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I'd just keep it tbh. I mean when companies give some estimate like that it's usually the worse case scenario. I'm sure it will not take 3 weeks to get it.

 

[Shambles]

Gross, looks like I'll be lucky to have one by Christmas if they're already back ordered into December. :S

I don't think it mattered. Look at the Nexus 7 launch, good amount of devices but still fucked up the dispatch

I think what we are seeing here is a company who hasn't mastered the communication and logistics of selling hardware
