New Nexus 4 purchase: Anyone get a shipping notification or tracking number?

[mlarco52]

They probably don't have anything left to send us even if they could find our orders.

That's exactly what it is, hoping they have enough stock to fill a bunch of orders by Monday.

 

[mlarco52]

It's plain and simple right now where everyone that has not received tracking info, Google has ran out of stock, they are getting more in as soon as possible (most likely by the end of the weekend I'm willing to bet) and will be shooting out new shipments right then. Maybe they already got the new stock in over these last few days and are organizing another wave of shipments to go out, guessing that wave will be initiated Monday.

 

[Fearless Freep]

Given the holiday it's quite likely we don't see our devices for another 8-10 days, if they can even get any.

I'm guessing there will be a very large batch(es) of shipments going out Monday. And received Wednesday, just before Thanksgiving... That would be their best move.

 

[mlarco52]

Google is literally a laughing stock, I'm betting Apple is laughing at them and pointing; and before I get flamed for this comment remember that Google did state their original shipping that people would have their phones in their hands in 3-5 business days. Google did not limit the number of orders nor did they account 1 order per 1 product in current available inventory. Apple although did take a couple weeks for orders, still told people that the couple week wait was happening and they limited orders, they also communicated...this is a sad time for Google.

Edit: just tried to access that Google doc spread sheet that was made...and got this instead....pathetic

Yeah, someone added 16,000 rows to the bottom and I don't think the spreadsheet was ready for that.

 

[mlarco52]

Makes sense, Google ran out of stock...on rows/columns in their spread sheet software. They are now stating they will have a new batch of spreadsheets available within the next 3 weeks!

Lol yes. It's boggled right now

 

[aricblunk]

Luckily I made a backup copy of the sheet a few minutes before the great row backorder, here's my copy:

Nexus 4 - spreading the FAIL.

If I ever see Larry Page walking around I'm gonna greet his face with my fist...

There's probably a Google Rep spying in on the whole thing and decided to crash it...

 

[gone down south]

The number of California orders in Limbo gives me hope that a whole plane-load of phones is making it's way to us right now!

I havent gotten tracking info, but was told my order has shipped. It wouldnt let me cancel the order because it has been shipped apparently. I think that theyre just too far behind to update everyone right away. Could get the phone before the tracking info

I wanna try cancelling, to see if I get that alert that I can't due to shipment... but I don't necessarily want to cancel the order yet in case it allows me to lol.

Exact same thing I want to do but I'm scared to be the guinea pig in this situation lol.

 

[aricblunk]

I cancelled less than an hour after I originally placed my order on the 13th and I got that exact same message (even though I'm backordered now), you have to email support with your order # if you actually want to cancel. So I don't think that "can't cancel" message really means anything.

Also, I managed to make a backup copy of the spreadsheet just as it died, so I re-shared it (fully editable):

And here's the graph that shows backorders seem to have started just before 8:55:

Ahhhhhhh just saw that Nexus commercial. RAGE!

 

[Richard Hoffman]

Understandable. I had assumed i was getting the backorder email, and im going off an unlocked sidekick right now so i had lost faith and was gonna buy my old phone back, but the cancellation didnt go through, and the email i got said that the phone is already been shipped, and the only way to get a refund is to refuse the package, or return it when it arrives. So Im guessing mines on its way saturday, or monday

I asked google anything...I asked "when will I get my nexus 4"...it responded with "LAWL YOU JUST GOT RICK ROLLED BY GOOGLE"....fml
