Now if only they could post charges a bit quicker...

So you were able to purchase the case? I've tried a few times but just says coming soon and prompts me to enter my email so I can be notified.

Ok this is different... I ordered on the 29th, and just right now I get some new progress on my credit card statement. I see an order from Google, for the exact amount I paid for the tablet ($285.12), but right next to it, it also says ROVIO (as in the Angry Birds developer) and it is counted as being credited, not charged, to my account. So strange.

I had ordered mine on the 4th and when I check my statements the account balance shows no money was taken out but the available balance shows it was, which is weird, I don't mind though since I don't have to worry about having the money when it ships.

Just to clarify, so you're saying you now have 285$ in your angry birds game??? lol,wut

I wonder how many mighty eagles you can buy with that kind of money

I ordered on the 27th as well, but also will be out of town 7/14-19 for business. If it doesnt come on the 13th I guess I will have to wait a week.

Even if you could, the Googleplex is in Mountain View, CA which is about 300 miles north of Los Angeles in the South SF bay area.

Google Inc
340 Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90291

It seems like they have a building right about where I'll be. It's only 40 minutes away. Dunno if they sell N7s there however.

I kind of doubt that you will be able to make purchases at that location.

Use Google Maps, input the address. Use satellite, shows a parking lot with a cafe and another building that could be Google, Inc. but doesn't look like retailer to me.

Ya, there's also a funky building that looks like a pair of binoculars right next to it. You're probably right, just wishful thinking on my part.

Would be great

Interesting. Mine was originally Google if I recall correctly. Then later said comixOlogy (or whatever it is). Now it isn't even there at all.

**luke31** · 07-07-2012, 04:00 PM

This is a screenshot of my pending transactions from my online statement. The parenthesis means "credit," not charge. And my remaining balance is actually higher than my limit because of it lol.

**Chorazin** · 07-07-2012, 07:01 PM

Well, the pending charge finally dropped from my AMEX, man they take forever.

Really wish Google would release a statement about when they're actually going to ship!

I've heard the reason Google isn't announcing a set in stone shipping date is because of the reputation of android devices being delayed. It sure would ease my nerves with an actual date though. (also stupid vacation planning on my part as well

)
So can we reasonably say that people who ordered before June 30th will get their devices before Wednesday July 18?

Well there were now three dates thrown about...the 12th, which would be there by then, the 17th, which probably wouldn't be there by then, and the 19th, which definitely wouldn't.

I hope I don't get penalized for jumping the gun. I preordered in that 20 min span that it was available but not announced lol

Google has said they will honor the orders placed when they prematurely opened the site.

Shipping on the 12th is what I'm hoping for.
Where did you find the data about the 17th?
And shipping on the 19th is for UK customers. (I think)

Just in the hubbub of frantic Googling since I placed my order.

No doubt they'll honor it, I just hope I don't get punished by a delayed shipping date

Good point.

**CarlGalgano** · 07-07-2012, 08:15 PM

If the date is the 12th, it would be really nice if that is the day they showed up rather than the day they shipped. But..... they will show up when they show up.

Nah.... never. Go enjoy your vacation. Your new tablet will be waiting for you when you get home. Not a bad way to end vacation.

**michael13162** · 07-07-2012, 08:46 PM

I just called customer service. He said he predicts the tabs will arrive in 2 weeks. (Let's hope that isn't true) However, when I asked him about switching to the 16gb version, he said it was too late to change the order. <<< What does that tell us? Not much... But maybe they are already being prepped for shipping

One thing we've all learned over time is that a customer rep of anything (be it carrier, manufacturer, etc.) is absolutely clueless about when the device will get released. One rep is saying next week, another two weeks, then you have staples saying it could be this week OR next week... it's just all too much guessing. I will be convinced when:

a) Google announces the actual date of shipment.
b) I get a shipping notification via email.

That said, I really do hope they ship out this coming week.
