Launch day hasn't happened yet. My vote for most ignorant comment.

Okay MC511. Good for you. Iimagine you have your Nexus 7. No shipping costs, I guess. I will stay out or your wallet, if you will stay out of mine.

Im not in your wallet. Just your complaining about an issue thats silly. Listen, i have pre ordered alot of things online and even have tried to order some stuff thats rare. When i was younger like 10 my dad would let me order a rare star wars action figure online that wouldnt be in stores. I got some of them and didnt get some of them. When they sold out i was dissapointed but i never threw a fit. I got my money back. And i had to wait hell 3 months to see if it would ship. Talk about painful. Then i reached a certain age and started traveling. I have been to other countries and have seen people live in houses that barely have electricity. I have had beggers come up to me asking for money who would be lucky to get one decent meal!! I live in a middle class neighborhood and live right next to a very ty town. Seeing all this opens your eyes and makes you realize that you could be in a worse situation than not getting your precious tablet on time. There are worse things in life. Perhaps most of you who demand your $15 back for shipping should maybe give to the poor and less fortunate? Nah you wont.


Anyway please get over the first world syndrome and quickly. Too big of an ego for this forum.

I ordered from the play store on the 27th. I'll get it when I get it. Don't get me wrong I'm really excited to get this. But I'm to busy to worry or care if I'm getting this after people who pre-ordered a week ago. As long as it arrives and I'm content with it, it doesn't really matter.

Nope. Just talking to others about the tablet. I just see alot of complaining and whining threads.

Then don't tell people that its silly to worry about this stuff. When you are giving me my money, you can tell me how to feel about spending it.

Find a more legitimate claim. And stop posting about it.

Hold it right there son. Don't you dare try to tell me what I can and can't post about. I find it insulting that you feel as though you can talk to me like I'm below you.

I'm no kid. I earn every single dime I have. When I get the shaft on something that costs me money I didn't need to spend, I have EVERY RIGHT to be pissed off about it. You can come in with wise ass comments, but in the end you're just here to troll and laugh at those of us who happened to be unlucky enough to order early directly from Google.

My claim is just as legitimate as yours is. The only difference is I was never arrogant enough to tell you to stop posting about it.

How were you given the shaft considering that your device is still coming and you'll still receive it before the majority of any other buyers?

Awkward. You were just telling him how he should conduct his business on here, but whatever. Tomato tomato I suppose.

My claim is that those of us who preordered directly from Google were misled, either intentionally or unintentionally, that the Play Store would be the only place you could preorder from. Because of this, myself (and countless thousands of others) ordered from Google.

Fast forward a week or two, and all of a sudden you can now order from other retailers. Ok. That's cool. More choices are good. THEN the nonsense starts. We're stuck paying an extra $15 shipping. Ok, I guess I can live with that since I'll get mine as soon as they're available. Nope. Wrong again. You ordered yours FIVE days ago. I ordered mine seconds after the Keynote on day one ended. You have yours. I do not. I can not cancel my order, as Google will not allow it (and never would, people tried weeks ago). I can not afford to float two charges, so I can't exactly run out and find one on sale retail and then refuse delivery.

This whole situation was handled poorly on Google's part. In the end, I'd settle for just an honest explanation from Google. I give up on the money, as I know that's a lost cause. I just want to know how they dropped the ball as badly as they did, and what they'll do to fix it so it never happens again. I'm most certainly not the only person who feels this way. Search Google (ironic, right) for "Nexus 7 Launch fiasco" and see what comes up. Read threads at every single Android forum about how customers are angry. Google did not provide good customer service, and we, as customers, want Google to at least attempt to make things right, even if it's only a simple "Sorry, we screwed up. We apologize, and it won't happen again".

I did nothing of the sort. I called it like I saw it. I never, ever, told him what he should or shouldn't do (aside from telling him he shouldn't tell me I'm not allowed to speak my mind).

Re: Has Google Stated If They Will Compensate Play Store Pre-orde

MC511. You are making this personal. Do not for a second pretend that you know the circumstances of others. You've traveled the world and have seen poverty. Big deal. Most of us haven't had to travel the world to see poverty or despair. Let's keep this civil and on topic. This thread is a distraction for many of us who do deal with real world issues on a daily basis. I'm not here to compare life experiences with you. It's this simple. Google screwed up this launch. I am sure we will all get our tablets but that is not the point. We all preordered early from the Play Store to get the Nexus 7 on or before the launch. Google may not compensate me now but if I do not receive my tablet by Tuesday, they will refund my shipping costs. Two day shipping from Friday, when I was told it was shipped, means no later than Tuesday.

Re: Has Google Stated If They Will Compensate Play Store Pre-orde

And MC511, I apologize for calling you a troll. That wasn't called for. I'm just cranky. It's late, I'm out of beer, and I have to work in the morning.

Google never said it was exclusive. Idk where people got that info from. And as far as shipping costs, have you ever ordered anything online? Did google say free shipping? I never heard that.

Thats good that you settle for an explanation. I am sick of seeing refund this and refund that. I do think google should tell people what happened. But refund them shipping? no that goes too far.

That's just it, Google never said it was, but if you watched the Keynote live, that was the impression you got. I wasn't the only one. In hindsight, they never said it was a Google exclusive at launch, but that's sure how they made it sound. Ask anyone who ordered right after watching the Keynote. I'll bet, almost to a man, that they all tell you that was their impression. Obviously we were mistaken (or as I said, mislead, either intentionally or unintentionally).

And you have every right to get your refund if it doesnt arrive by tuesday. But if it does are you still gonna ask for google to refund it like this topic says? I hope not since you got what you paid for. Just be sure you point the finger at the right person. UPS could slip up.

And you dont need to travel the world to see poverty. Try asking people in your town who live pay check by pay check
