New Nexus 4 purchase: Anyone get a shipping notification or tracking number?

How's that?

I'm practical. You don't just conjure up devices out of no where and get them to show up at doorsteps, especially in Toronto.

Plus, if these devices were already on their way, why wouldn't Google say that earlier? Would have solved everything.

Literally just got off the phone with Google Play Support (they're open 24/7 btw not just until 8pm) with Chertessa. She told me that people who have NOT received the BO email are set to get shipping numbers late tonight or early tomorrow morning. I did repeat several times that many support workers had told me the same thing since last week and she reassured me by telling me that they have all received an email from corporate today stating what she told me. I also brought up the fact that 16.99 shipping is no long appropriate for such a long shipping time and she promptly told me that we will be refunded so I am guessing that's what they have all been instructed to tell us. I am still doubtful but we'll see tomorrow morning, hopefully I get a tracking number. I'm in Ottawa, Ontario btw.
 
I got this email today from Google Play support. I was one of people who ordered within minutes of go live.

Thank you for writing back and for your patients. At this time I still do not see anything regarding the tracking information. I have been updated on some information with this issue though. Any order that didn't receive the backorder email will be receiving their device's tomorrow. Just for safety measures I sent this over to a specialists in the shipping department to take a look into this.

In the meantime, if you come across any other information that you'd like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email. Your responses will automatically go to the specialist working on your case.
 
To add to the story here, I just got off the phone with customer service. The gentleman repeated most of what was said here - that they're having problems getting tracking information out to customers and that I should expect the Nexus 4 by tomorrow or Wednesday. Yes, Wednesday. The customer service representative mentioned that there's a chance I won't receive my tracking information tonight and that it could ship out sometime tomorrow, receiving it on Wednesday. Also worth mentioning, and this was interesting, he referenced an email he received just an hour ago. When I asked the representative how likely it was that I would receive the package tomorrow, he said, "pretty good". So, take that at face value. I'm not getting my hopes up but, as I'm planning on leaving early Wednesday for vacation, I was hoping to take the Nexus 4 with me. Such a hard, hard life we live, isn't it?

INFO: Purchased on 11/13 from NY USA, have not received tracking information or a backordered email.
 
I just can't help but think this is a tactic to get them to Thanksgiving. Lord I hope I'm wrong, but not getting my hopes up.

ah. Yea i defiantly hear ya there. I too am more than a bit skeptical. I'm really excited to get this phone so i really want to believe but have to keep telling myself not to buy into this 100% or even 50% b/c than if it doesn't happen i will be really disappointed.
 
I got a back order email....So guess I won't be seeing it for a while..... Who got theirs shipped with BO email?
 
Just got a shipping notification at 5:32 PM PST. I would wager that others should be receiving them as well over the course of the next few hours.
 
Ah yea! Im getting excited lol. Haven't got a email yet but im getting more and more hopeful

I got the Backorder email... I ordered November 13, 2012 11:55:13 AM UTC-6. Guess I barely missed the train...
 
Oh boy. Two shipping notifications have been received.

The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last.

+1 for the Willy Wonka reference :) I just received the shipping update and tracking number. It's not in UPS's system quite yet, so I don't know whether it's shipping 2-day or overnight, but I'll post back once I get an update.
