'I've Ordered a Nexus 5' Thread! (Order & Shipping Discussion)

OK, so my order got bumped from Wednesday to Thursday, BUT at least it got "Origin Scan" this morning at 11:42am in Louisville. I hope that means that UPS has it in their hands now. I hate watching for the kettle to boil...

Awesome!! Oreo is where it's at I think haha. Can't wait for mine. Any initial thought on how the white will hold up or difficulty of keeping clean?

keep us posted..
 
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.

Complaining no...I meant checking the tracking status constantly was what meant by hording. I was saying it as a general statement for everyone based on my own experience.

Oh, I see what you mean. Hopefully it won't be that bad this time around. I think even though they prepared a few orders got slightly lost in their systems apparently. But I don't know if that means orders got passed over through error or they're shipping normally and just the notices are getting messed up. I got my shipping confirmation yesterday afternoon and initially it wasn't going to ship until November 22. I don't have a tracking number yet though.

I really hope it doesn't get so messed for you this time around.

Ordered 32GB Black at 11 minutes after site went active. Got a email my unit ship on Friday Nov 1st with UPS tracking that only said the "LABEL WAS CREATED" but UPS was clear they haven't picked up the package and put it in their system. It stayed that "LABEL WAS CREATED" status with UPS untill Monday noon when UPS did their first scan in Louisville, KY and will be shipped to my home in Florida Tuesday by end of day.

Looks like if you are on the East Coast you get your N5 shipped from Louisville, KY not Calf so that could be why some people got their shipped from Calf before people on the East coast that purchased their phone before some others on the West Coast.

Interesting. Saw several people who indicated that, according to UPS, a signature wouldn't be required. I've tried to override the signature requirement by setting delivery instructions. Hope that works.

32GB Black Ordered at 1:11 PM October 31
3-5 Day Shipping
Delivered 1:00 Today at work

:D
 
Ordered within first 10 minutes and worried a little but because I never got a shipping email. I ordered the 32 gb black with 2 day shipping. I just got my shipping confirmation. UPS' tracking says that it was originally scheduled for delivery on Wednesday but they are going to early deliver it tomorrow instead. Yeah!!!!

I'm pretty much at the end of the UPS route so it won't be until 6 or 7 tomorrow evening. Best of luck to those still waiting.

Hrm. I did some quick research and saw that the signature requirement can vary based on area. I would assume you'd be more likely to see that forced in an apartment complex versus a detached home, unless it's a sketchy neighborhood. I've set delivery instructions, as mentioned, and my driver usually does just leave packages. Guess I'll find out.

From the UPS website:

Note: The Authorize Shipment Release option will not be available from the UPS My Choice Preferences page if you live in an area where a driver typically releases your packages without a signature. Additionally, certain delivery change options may not be available due to the nature of the package and at the request of the shipper.

Ship by 8th
UPS tracking just came.
Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

I just got off the phone with UPS. On my package there is no signature required, but they said that it is in the driver's discretion if no one receives the package, whether to leave it or not. But if you leave a note with the tracking information on your door indicating that you would like it left, they are likely to do that.
