UK Backordered Thread

[c_hri_s]

I'm interested in hearing from people in the UK who have received the back-ordered email if/when they get any updates.

I know there are existing threads, but I'm going out of my mind trying to match everyone's responses to their geographic location. Good luck to you all ... but I only really care when they start shifting some kit to the UK folk waiting for orders

Perhaps fellow Brits could join together in this thread and share any news.

I ordered at November 13, 2012 12:24:03 AM UTC-8 (08:24:03).
http://google.com/play still says "Delivery estimate 15 November 2012" if UK is selected or "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012" is US language is selected.
My Google Wallet receipt just says "Nov 13 Google Commerce Ltd received your order."

I have the same information as yourself, delivery estimated for November 15th and my order placed just a couple of minutes just after you're one.
Have emailed sent a couple of mails but just get the automated replay telling me to check my Google Wallet which is clearly not being updated.

Was annoyed at first, but hey it was a popular phone and at least I know I have one coming

Just received this - doesn't really tell us much more, but at least they're working on it - I queried why all my delivery dates showed last week.

That's basically the same think I got when I spoke to them. Back to being politely patient. When the American emails started going out I got excited!

Anyone else woken up to "pending"?

 

[c_hri_s]

Ah, same here.

Now says 'Pending' instead of Delivery/Shipping 15th November.

 

[dubnerr]

Reading the XDA forums, this generally means were now in a queue waiting for stock.
I spoke to CSR and was told that the orders were being shipped on when the order was placed. This doesn't appear to be true My colleague at work ordered 10 minutes after me and got his on Friday ( 16th )

And yes my order is now sitting at "Pending"

 

[c_hri_s]

I'm just happy it's changed to *something*. Staring at a page that told me my phone would be delivered six days ago wasn't giving me much confidence they were on top of things.

Still not confident that they are, but hey ho

same here

 

[peejay1977]

Mine says Pending and the pre auth'd amount on my card has disappeared as it passed the time period for claiming the money.

Upgrading from the Gnex, so I ordered 50 sec's after you "pending"

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Android Central Forums

Well, here was me hoping for some movement on Black Friday .. but no such luck.

Order still pending, device still out of stock.

Black Friday means nothing to those outside the US so why would it affect us with the Nexus 4?

 

[c_hri_s]

Certainly it may have started as a US event, but it's international now.

Amazon.co.uk's are running a (week long) black friday sale, Apple are running one today, etc.
