I don't think Google involves in anything after the item has shipped, it's up to the UPS to take care of everything from then on. Yeah, a very bad weather situation might be the reason(if it was there) but this same damn thing happened to me in another item from Amazon(UPS itself) they have put up initial updates on Saturday morning, till now same thing is being displayed. Because of these both reasons, I asked how UPS works(because I don't know them well although got few items shipped through them).
I think some how you are misunderstanding my posts that I'm complaining about Google-UPS process but instead I'm asking about how UPS system works and why would I complain about Google, if they have already shipped my item. Now it's nothing to do about Google.
I don't know the exact meaning of hoarding in that sentence, but if you are asking me to stop complaining every second about Google & shipping, then you are getting it all wrong again. First of all, I hardly post here, unless it absolutely necessary for me. And secondly, I'm not all complaining about Google(again, why would I complain about Google now that they have shipped my item), all I was asking in my last two posts(especially second last post to which you replied with your tracking information) is how UPS system works. It's not only with this shipment but same thing happened with another shipment of an item that I bought at Amazon & which shipped through UPS. And finally, for you & me it's easy to ask others to not to complain about it, etc,..etc,.. but people like SmartPhoneDude, (who has ordered the item with in 9 minutes of launch haven't got any shipping information of his item, while people who have ordered much later than him & got shipping estimation 2-3 weeks, already have their items being shipped through them, does it make any sense?), have all the right in the world to ask questions about the system. It's not about their phones haven't shipped, if there is delay then there is delay for every one and every one can deal with it. But why or how some, have theirs already been shipped although they have ordered much later than others who ordered just within few minutes of Nexus availability. That system is completely wrong. It's ok if you are trying to group items that are going in a particular direction or particular area, but first process the orders in the order and once specific numbers of items have reached that are to be shipped to a particular location, ship them at once. There will be no complaints at all. But it's not what happening.
