So I have a pre order with Staples and they just called to tell me it is delayed until the first week of June!!??? Has anyone else experienced this? Apparently Best Buy and Futureshop have this problem as well...

If you are in eastern Canada than no.
if you are in western Canada, well i bought mine in the store in person, pre ordered it a week and a half in advance and walked in to memory express a week ago on the 3rd and picked it up.
They got the exclusive first from asus instead of NCIX.com the normal asus release partner in Canada. the other Canadian release partners that SHOULD have it by now are listed on asus's website for this tablet @ http://www.asustablets.us/. Last time i looked bestbuy, future shop and staples were not release partners with asus.
when my co worker checked today there was still plenty of stock and a sale on the version with the keyboard special for $519 i think which is what i paid.
www.memoryexpress.com delivery via them is pretty good, if you haven't heard of them they have been around for 10+ years in Alberta and have pretty much eliminated any small time computer shops via their buying power/size except the futureshop/bestbuy/staples type stores out here.
hope that helps.
kan.
and yes i love it so far, first tablet, 3rd android device of mine, (n1, htc amaze and now this)
Ordered mine from tigerdirect.ca. Got it last Monday

Update:
Just to let everyone know that I picked up my tablet yesterday and not June, as I was told. So call your local retailer now and you may be pleasantly surprised!

As the title states, I'm trying to figure out if I will be able to grab one at the store on the 30th or will it only be shipping on the 30th?

I think its only going to be in stock to order online on the 30th.
Pretty certain they said in stores on the 30th and available for online purchase (not preorder) on the 30th.
Most stores already have stock (thus how some were already able to get them from OfficeMax).

Yeah they are staying instock, and if true they should have the shipments either on the 24-26th in store and possibly on display on the 26th as the earliest. Just from what that note on officemax was sent out.
Its more of a question will you be able to get the 32Gig in store... I would hope so but I didn't want to chance it ordered from BB get my free shipping and delivery on the 30th
I think you had to pay for $15 express shipping to get it on the 30th. I'd do the same but I'm going to be out of town next week, so I'll have to buy it locally. I'm sure Best Buy and stuff will have both models. I can't see them leading with just type again.
We're getting very, very concerning news over here in Europe. Someone please say it'll also debut on Play store come next week, Germany, UK, Spain...

Discounted, Silver Member. Sorry was $6 for express.
Some stores now have it in stock; I picked up a 32GB from BestBuy in ATL at lunchtime.
As the person above stated some best buys already have them in stock. Look at the product page on best buy.com and put store pickup. Once you enter your zip it will tell you who does/doesn't have them

Will the in-store ones be Wi-Fi only? I was looking at getting one of the old 7's but I wanted data and they could only be ordered online...just curious
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if the data ones are available yet, online or otherwise. I picked up a 32gb one from Best Buy during lunch in New York. They're in stock at most NYC stores.
I bought the new nexus 7 today at Best Buy as well.
16GB WiFi model. $250 after taxes

Oddly, all the best buys in the bay area were out of stock as of last night except for Marin...
Got two at staples. $199, have had a tf700 for a while but it is for sale. Nexus 7 blows it away.

Game Stop has them, used my PUR points for $25 off coupon and some credit yesterday.
Got my 32gb from Best Buy on Friday, I was the only person I saw there buying one besides one other person. The guy said they had a crap load of them too. Sacramento btw.
Walmart had the 32G in stock yesterday at one local store.
Didn't check others.
You know what? I bet a lot of people are going to be pissed come Tuesday when they're supposed to be released and there are none available cause we bought them all.

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

I live in Belgium
Purchased mine from Ebuyer on Monday and it should arrive Wednesday. Cannot wait.
Just checked the Play Store out of curiosity - the new Nexus 7 is live. I presume it went live at midnight. Ordered mine from Ebuyer though, to get it on Thursday.
Any discount code from the retailers? Planning of getting the 32GB WiFi, but considering LTE.

I know it's not relevant but holy sh*t... the Nexus 4 is £199 now. On topic, my Nexus 7 should arrive in the next few hours. :good:

well ebay would be the only option for u atm pixel deals does delivery within eu. by the way if u have any friends living in uk ask them if they would send one out for you
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:
I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Yes but I only can buy with paypal and they don't work with that.
is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?
Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.
I placed my "pre order" for the 32GB white model on September 28th I think it was (from Samsung's online store). Still listed as being on backorder.
Anyone else order from Samsung? Have you received your device yet?

I pre-ordered my 32GB version from Samsung as well. A few days after the units began shipping, and hearing no word from Samsung, I canceled the pre-order and ordered one from Amazon. I had it the next day.

Hmmmm, I don't like the sound of that. I emailed them and was told that the item is on backorder. Not much of a pre order. I wanted to use bill me later 6 month deal, so I guess I will hold out....

HI all,
Got my G Pad from Newegg Tues. and am very pleased. No problems - no light bleed (used the light bleed app to test), no lines of any kind that I can see. My S/N started with 310 - white color, and the box was not sealed. As you can guess I did my research on this forum before buying. I love the size.
Bought it to replace Ipad mini retina which I had bought on black friday. Yes the mini has 1 big problem (which nobody ever seems to mention) - it keeps dropping my wifi signal.It also doesn't see many of my neighborhood wifi signals - it sees maybe 1 or 2. The G pad and my other android tablets see 8 or 9. By the way - I tried out 2 minis - both had the wifi problem.
My first (and probably last) Apple overpriced product. It is going back. I also got the opportunity to hate iTunes.
Cheers,
catapp
My S/N is a 310, and I just got my tablet from newegg also. Same, no problems here with mine.

LOL that seal does not look like it was applied at the factory. I'm guessing Newegg got the message and started sealing them in the warehouse. Which I don't see as a problem if it makes customers happy. Personally I bought mine from NE on Cyber Mon. and it didn't matter to me that it wasn't sealed. Sealed or not LG should be faulted for letting these leave the factory in less than pristine condition.

Both black and white models of the LG G Pad 8.3 are on sale at Newegg for $229.99
Great time to pick one up!
FYI, they come loaded with 4.2.2, if you don't want to deal with rooting and recovery in 4.4.2.
Added it to my cart, price went up $20 to $249.
Picked up a black one last week from Newegg. Loving it so far. FYI, I ordered it late Wednesday evening and paid a little extra for the 3-4 day shipping and I received it Friday morning.

That's The Final Nail In The Proverbial Coffin..
BestBuy has phased out the 8.3 completely on the U.S. West Coast.. There is ZERO supply available.
This makes the Newegg the sole supplier of V500 tablets in the U.S. and they are on "Fire Sale" there as well.
The Clock is Ticking.
I order mine and it will be this Tue.
Why is it on a fire sale? I am happy with the price and the black one is on sale again for same price.
I hope these sold well so LG will make a new one. I'm troubled by Samsung might be pushing out other manufacturers with their attack of the every size tablet. This is my first LG Android device and I like the lack of bloatware and smoothness it has. My only complaint is about the screen and the problem is software related (gamma) and not hardware related. LG could fix it by offering screen profiles like many LCD/TV manufacturers already do.
Went to Best Buy and they price matched it. I'm loving it.
