Backorder Thread (Nov 20th and onwards)

got this email an hour ago (apparently it's a email going out to other backorders too)

Hello Mike,

I appreciate your patience with me. I was experiencing a little difficulty on today.

If you ordered on 11/13, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today.

However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Thanks,

Lynn

UPS hasn't come to my complex yet today. Vacation time at home maybe worked out perfectly. Hopefully I see mine today or tomorrow!

That's the template they're sending out. Canned message to deal with the overload of people bombarding them.

I'm convinced they don't even read the emails anymore.. Just send out the form letter
 
I'd rather get a canned email than being ignored all week

What you think there not gonna come today or tomorrow? I highly doubt they would send this email and not be true.
 
The email is poorly written. "I was experiencing a little difficulty on today." What does that even mean? My guess is that the following line refers to people that had pending orders, but did not receive a backorder email:

"If you ordered on 11/13, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow."

Has anyone that received the backorder email gotten shipping information?

Not sure.. we'll find out in the next 5 or 6 hours if another wave of shipments are on the way

Still waiting on a shipping confirmation email. CSRs have told me that they're trying to ship within the 3 week time frame and they don't know when mine will ship.

Not that I've seen. We're SOL.
 
Here's where I am:

?Ordered 16gb at 3:34p EST, received email confirmation
?Got backorder email 11/15
?Play order history shows "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012", order last updated 11/20
?Wallet shows pending order
?No pending CC charges, Funds returned to my bank account on 11/16

I called and spoke with Frazier in Google Play Store support today and he advised my order was with UPS and that he could not promise anything but that tracking numbers are going out throughout today and this week and I can expect to receive the item soon. I asked if it could take up to the original three weeks as stated in the backorder email he said that was highly unlikely but he could not make any promises on an exact time.

Some people have gotten lucky and received shipping confirmation even when they've received a BO email earlier. CSR just said they're working through the long queue of people who ordered phones and there's quite a few who are BO'd. So just gotta wait... and they'll ship "within 3 weeks"
 
Ordered - November 13
BO Email - November 15
