US release date could be July 12th!

This is actually pretty simple as well. GS shouldn't have even received stock yet.

No, if you realize how those 'retailer' and 'manufacturer' relationship works, it is completely logical why GS stores have these devices prior to PS pre-orders. You see, because of promotions and etc, all stores receive product before hand about 3~4 days or even a week. After that, they sell those product. If you look at any games and consoles, same thing happens. When manufacturer or seller finally approves to sell, they release their stock.

You can conclude this by Staples and e-buyers and etc retailers are not releasing their stock to the public yet. :)
 
Congrats to all of those receiving their orders, still waiting for any movement on my end... I hope you have a safe and speedy delivery!
 
Please, for the love of God, someone post their 16g has been charged....pretty please?? I'll start relaxing a bit more then.....I ordered at 4:02 pm on June 28th and nothing yet!
 
Ok folks looks like the shipping is picking up speed...my Debit Card was just officially charged...I ordered the 16GB version right when the pre-order page went live on the 27th.
 
-Play Store Preorder
-16gb
-June 27th, 12:30pm-ish
-Opted out of preloading my account

Just had my CC charge come in for the first time. Has always been labeled as "Completed" in Google Wallet since I initially placed the order.
 
For what it is worth. I was just charged for my 16GB ordered at 1:30p EST on the 27th. Now I wonder how long until I actually get that money back.

I really love how Google screws their customers and then when they get fed up and decide to not give them their business Google decides to hold their money hostage. I can't cancel my order before I've been charged for it and I also can't get my money back until they get the package back and decide to process my return. That is a great way to keep loyal customers! I am just skipping this piece of garbage and sticking to my iPad.

I'm pretty sure that's the standard operating procedure for many orders online.

I recently ordered an item through PETCO and the post office was not able to deliver it due to the address not being specific enough (They auto-corrected my shipping address, which wiped out the suite number for my office, and I didn't notice). I saw on my tracking that it was going back to the sender, so I called both PETCO and USPS to get it intercepted and the address changed, but neither could do anything about it. I decided to have PETCO cancel the order, which they did, but they said they couldn't refund me until they physically get the package.

I think that's acceptable. People can't always be trusted.
 
Good to finally hear something really positive! Hopefully I can say the same thing real soon!
Agreed. And I'm glad Google has started to communicate something. With the automated message, the status on the Play Store and through G+. Now I just have to wait for it to ship and arrive, but it makes me feel good that it should be here next week.
 
I ordered a 16gb on June 27th and it was processed on June 28th, and i finally got a sign of hope

This is an Alert to help manage your account ending in XXXX.

A $279.42 debit card transaction to GOOGLE *DEVICES GOOG on 07/13/2012 3:13:27 PM EDT exceeded your $125.00 set Alert limit.

So finally got the change no tracking yet but atleast its something. Im still not happy with google because I still think they needed to send out an email instead of making people contact them but atleast I got my first sign of hope.
 
My Google Play orders page now shows the 16gb Nexus 7 up at the top of the list. Still says completed, as always. Guessing that's just automatic whenever the charge get's pushed through.

For those that had their charges or temp holds come in way early and/or disappear, it's likely because of a combination of what type of card you used as well as what bank you're with.
 
Finally got charged... woo-hoo! 16gb ordered on 6/27

For all those labeling some of us as whiners: I pre-ordered for the guarantee to get a tablet, not to be the first to have it in my hand. Still poor business practice on the part of Google, but hey better to have a great product than to have to wait even longer because the initial stockpile ran out.
 
Nothing here yet lol. Ordered a 8gb on the 28th. Wallet said complete 7/13 but no email. My credit card takes a few days to post sales so I know it won't show yet. Owell.

Yes, yes, we're all entitled and whiny and we should all have perspective because this isn't a big deal and blah, blah, blah. Because I'm sure the people saying that have never gotten a little agitated by what they thought was unfairness, no matter how minor.

Please.

I was going to write something to the people who are just too cool and have never gotten impatient over anything they were excited about. Then I realized I'm here in the forum for people like you. When I order gadgets (and I order too many) and "The Wait" ensues, I meet (mostly) great people who share my interests and have fun talking about the same stuff. Of course there?s always some who want to tell us to get a puppy, a pony, a girlfriend or to stop whining or to deal with it. That is the nature of the beast, or in this case, troll.
