Nexus 4 ordering process

I'm in the same situation. I really thought something would happen today but nothing! Even if I got a cancellation at least it would be an update.

Me too. I ordered at 1.14 am on January 31st. (For some reason, Google Wallet shows it in PST as "January 30, 2013 5:14:09 PM UTC-8".). Within minutes they had sent me an email "Order Receipt", and Google Wallet showed a transaction with "Your order has been sent to Google Commerce Ltd." A "Debit Card Transaction" showed up on my bank account (though the bank tells me that it's strictly speaking a "reservation" at this stage.)

Since then, not a word. No further emails, no updates to the transaction in Google Wallet. No refund on the bank transaction.

So, it seems my order is taking longer than many others to be processed. Even allowing for the fact that it's not "first come, first served", I'm thinking there's probably some reason for such a long delay.

My order was submitted using a brand-new Google account created just for this, and using a debit card that was never used before with Google Wallet. I'm wondering, is the lack of history on the account something that may have singled it out for special scrutiny?

Has anyone here actually succeeded in ordering a Nexus 4 with a brand new Google account that had no transaction history? Thanks in advance, for any replies....

I'm in the same spot, ordered late 30th/early 31st of January and I'm on the pre-order stage still. Better than being cancelled and when the shipping estimate was 1-2 weeks going in I'm not about to get worked up about it just yet. You can't really read anything into the delay when you factor in how Google are servicing their orders list.

Just picked mine up from my parcel motel, shipping status says its still in the uk, so tracking really isn't that good.

JAMM222 · 05-02-2013 01:05PM

very quiet here today lads! any updates?

Boxfresh · 05-02-2013 01:06PM

Still waiting for something to happen, since Thursday last.

Mine is showing as in Dublin on the tracking but there is a weird line in red at the end:

(RED)1 PCE SHORT AS PER COLIN -0 PCES SCANNED 04/02

Perhaps that means that the order is missing a piece. I did order 2 Nexus 4's.

Danger781 · 05-02-2013 01:13PM

Mine arrived todaaaaaay

Same for me, so it seems less likely that a piece has gone missing.

Just the 4 months then, not so bad.

Hah :rolleyes:

I'm waiting on a delivery too (N.Ireland here). Googled after I seen the tracking in Dublin with the "(RED) 1 PCE SHORT AS PER COLIN" message and found this thread. Just registered to let you guys know I'm in the same boat too, so even more unlikely our gear has gone walkies. Probably a system problem. (read: Hopefully a system problem

)

Danger781 · 05-02-2013 02:11PM

Also for the record the shipping information is terrible. Apparently the phone I have here in front of me is still in Dublin.

Hi,

91 pages - arggg

I have just come to this thread and am thinking of trying to order a 4 from either UK (parcel motel) or Spain (family connection).

Could someone summarise the current state of play (no pun intended!)?

1. Play Store
Have overplay vpn, assume this will get me onto the UK site? Anyone know the availability on UK site as of today? (In work, can't get onto my VPN).

2. Payment
UK accepts Google Wallet with Irish Credit Card? Do I need to get up a new account with a UK address?

3. Delivery
Assume UK delivery only? So Parcel Motel to NI?

I'd appreciate if someone who has been through the process recently could help

Thanks,
C

Unless this Colin fella has them all stuck up ebay ... :P

MiCr0 · 05-02-2013 02:52PM

is it worth adding a poll for those who've ordered and those who've recievied their devices?
we could separate it between first batch and second batch of devices

Maybe a spreadsheet that people can update once they've gotten their phone?

Ah Jaysus Colin, now there are 2 red lines on my tracking page

04FEB13/1417 (RED)AS PER COLIN 1 PCE SHORT -0 PCES SCANNED 04/02
05FEB13/1502 (RED)AS PER COLIN 1 PCE OVER -1 PCES SCANNED 05/02

Slaanesh · 05-02-2013 04:21PM

Haha, me too. Colin is really ****ing with our orders.

thegrieve · 05-02-2013 04:28PM

Yep, 2nd red line for me too. Colin doesn't have a clue how many pieces I'm supposed to have.

Answered your own question there.

fredotf2 · 05-02-2013 06:00PM

For those who were cancelled using debit cards, have you been refunded yet and if so how long did it take?
