My Nexus 4 shipped on the 20th. It was supposed to be delivered on the 22nd, but UPS' website said it would be delivered on the 21st. It didn't arrive until the 26th.
Granted, we had a snowstorm that began the evening of the 21st, but according to UPS' website, it was out for delivery on the 21st and 25th. UPS explained that it couldn't be delivered because not all of the roads were clear, although they were clear enough for trash/recycling, mail and the newspaper to get to my house. Even though Google forced me to pay for 2nd day air, UPS wouldn't deliver it on Saturday the 23. The only reason I got it on Tuesday the 26th is because I complained to UPS for the second time.
Google won't refund my the shipping charges. That's BS. They need to work it out with UPS, which by now ought to have procedures for catching up on storm-related backlog faster. Maybe UPS will reimburse Google. Maybe it won't. But the bottom line is that Google forced me to pay a premium for two-day shipping, which I didn't receive.
Any suggestions for convincing Google to issue a refund? Not sure if complaining to the BBB would do any good. I know that my state attorney general office won't help. They won't even respond to complaints about do-not-call violations.
