Any definitive knowledge on GameStop? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've kept my eye on search on both XDA (i've searched my ass off) and Google - I can't find ANY intel on when GS is said to get their shipments.
The few people that got theirs from GS don't provide much info.
Is gamestop supposed to get a shipment soon, or am I DEFINITELY waiting til September 30th? (I *really* want to withdraw the $100 I put on it, and just buy it somewhere that has it, but I am getting a lot from trade-ins)
I ordered mine on the 22nd, and whenever I call in they have *no* idea what's going on with them.
Anyone know? O-o

I believe I saw they will be getting a shipment August 7th. I think I saw it on one of the major tech blog sites but I can't remember for sure.

I got mine at Gamestop on a walk-in that Saturday after they went on the website as shipping in 1 day then they went backordered. When I went in guy said he didn't even think his store would get one because nobody preordered it and they weren't expecting anything til August at the soonest. Now I heard September as well when I stopped in the other day thats pretty crazy

I preordered mine on the 17th of July on Gamestop and received my Nexus yesterday, and I was told that it would arrive on August 7th.

Cool! Glad to hear some people are getting theirs. My local gamestop just has no clue o-o
Maybe it will come tomorrow, maybe it will come in august!
I'm waiting for so many things, maybe it will all come at once and be like Christmas.
My nexus 7, a bag of holding from thinkgeek, an OTG cable, and my reddit arbitrary day gift xD

I pre ordered as part of the August 7 shipment and received mine two days ago.

How's the quality? Any defects?
It would be cool if this batch was better :3

If it makes you feel any better mine was purchased the 14th and is completely defect free

The quality is great. No defects so far. The only downside I have noticed is that it won't charge off anything except the charger that came with it.

That's weird. My old ipod touch used to do that.
Could it be a power thing? I'll experiment when I get it O;

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is an actual defect. Search around, and you'll see what i mean. If you can live with it, do so by all means..But i could see it getting annoying in the long run

Galaxy S II in India - shipped!!

Hi guys,
The availability and pricing in India for S II was announced and put up simultaneously for pre-order in collaboration with Samsung India on letsbuy.com on the 25th of May with ETA as 9th June.
While I was late to the party by around 10hrs, I placed the order straightway without a moment's delay. The offer was a great bargain as well, compared to the prices around the world. This is what I got:
Samsung Galaxy S II (with NFC chip confirmed!!)
MHL Adapter
Car Charger
Official Flip Case
Molife Fit to use case (??)
Screen Protector
And all of the above for just $725 or Rs32,830 in Indian currency!!!
But what has me jumping up and down right now with joy is that I just received an email from the letsbuy.com guys stating that my order has been shipped, tracking info et all...!! Should be on the doorstep by Monday morning... the wait is just killing me now.
So how many guys on the same boat as me?
I got the same Email too. What's going on?
Congratulations!! That is a good deal if your price conversion is correct & in U.S. currency
According to Letsbuy.com, they stated its a mistake and it will start shipping on 2Nd week of June.

Nopes, not a mistake. It's just that they now have more orders than the units they are going to receive.
The guys who were the first to pre-order had the Desktop Dock as a free gift along with the MHL adapter, Car Charger and Screen Protector. The response was obviously overwhelming and the pre-order page was put down and came up again after a few hrs. That is when I came to know about the pre-order and booked one for myself. The Dock had been removed though and replaced with a Molife Case.
The ETA was 9th June and now obviously the orders have been exhausted again and the ETA has been changed to a tentative 2nd week of June and the car charger has been replaced with a bluetooth headset.
So basically, not a mistake on their part. Gotta wait till Monday and see what comes in the parcel !!
I too have got an SMS and Email along with Tracking nos.
I hope they actually send the phone. Can't wait for Monday to come
Anyone was able to track their Docket No on Bluedart website?
Its probably too early to track. Maybe till tomorrow afternoon/evening it might get updated.
Anyways I wish they give the Dock instead of Molife case. I already bought this sexy looking official red case!
I think Monday is a sure shot date,my dealer has already confirmed regarding Monday availability,i will get it Monday itself

Looks like you haven't been following all the latest action. There apparently is not much that can be done, the flaw is in the hardware and the design.

According to other threads on this forums, this is supposedly a fake and not a genuine item. The 'S' in the original has a different font... chances are they do come out of the same factory though and are of identical quality.
And yeah... it's just a voucher on the way with at least another two weeks wait. Major bummer!!

Was Google Play efficient for N7 pre-orders?

I definitely want to pre-order the N4 as soon as possible, but I don't know how Google are with shipping etc.
Did they ship before release date? How fast was shipping and how much did it cost?
I want to make sure I get it quickly, otherwise I'm stuck with a backup phone for a while...

They got shipped late, there was too few to satisfy demand and at one point they decided to send newly placed orders before earlier orders.
Delivery was a standard 2 working days think it was £9.99. They changed to overnight delivery due to the delays.
If you are brave here is the preorder shipping thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737556
Based on the nexus 7 preorder I'd advise against it.
Edit
Forgot there was also problems in the UK with incorrect delivery address on a lot of them.

Thanks. Do you think other retailers with have it available for pre-order?
Also on the subject, when they say "available for order" on the 13th, does that mean 12:01am?
I'm in California, and wouldn't mind staying up to get my order in :victory:
Not likely to have Preorder.
From what I understand, the actual release date is Nov 13. It doesn't look like google will be doing a preorder for this one. That said, the N7 preorder went well for me, I grabbed it early and got it on a friday, knew some others who didn't get theirs until after the weekend.
i did the pre order for the nexus 7 and it went pretty well over all. there was a bit of a delay due to high demand but i dont hold that against them. got mine when they said i would. in perfect condition and have no defects or problems.
Ordered my n7 on the first day of pre-orders, didnt recieve it for quite a while, people who ordered after me got it first. But it was worth the wait
Still not gunna stop me ordering this!
Waited about a month to get my Nexus 7 16GB, meanwhile all local stores had it in stock and I couldnt cancel. So, I wouldnt say they were very efficient.
If the N7 preorder was slow and delayed, I have to think that this one will be even worse, there's plenty of buzz for the phone.

Me too. I talked to five CSRs yesterday, three of them told me it's back ordered, one of them said it would ship yesterday, another one said it would ship today. Worst company I've ever seen.
Ya I am too. I've called multiple times and they keep saying that it "should" go out today and it never does. The shipping date keeps getting pushed back one day at a time.

I ordered a 64 GB developer edition on Saturday 4/20 at around 11 am and it has been in picking since. I selected 2 day shipping and the original expected delivery was today 4/24. Yesterday that was bumped to 4/25. Today it says 4/26.
I've gotten more patient over the years, and my current phone is serviceable so I'm just going to sit tight for now. The worst case seems to be 'end of April' which isn't too far away.
I preordered with them, it shipped on Friday and I got it on Saturday. That said, it did sit in "picking" for a couple days before it shipped, and the order also disappeared from their online tracker right beforehand.
Yep, still waiting. I just hope to get it before my trip this Fri

Same here. Ordered on Saturday (4/20) with 2 day shipping. Status has remained "picking" since Sunday. Original shipping date was Monday with delivery today. Has been incrementing each day. Now, it is supposed to ship today... we'll see.
Tried to call yesterday. Got cut off after staying on hold for just over two hours!
Waiting patiently... meanwhile, this post has me a little concerned. I plan to use the phone with prepaid plans on TMobile and AT&T for now... with other compatible international providers as needed. I use data a lot more than voice and so, value a good/fast data connection. Am concerned that the "generic" radio may be a hindrance. That said, if it is firmware related and not hardware, it should be fixable by flashing the appropriate firmware, ROM or radio. Waiting for the knowledgeable peeps to chime in.

Mine too. Ordered on the 12th, couldn't get an order status until yesterday, still in picking. Trying to decide whether to cancel or wait it out. My G2X is crap and I need something ASAP. It was either an HTC One or a GS4, and I wanted the One, but after this mess, it's probably gonna be whichever I can get first.
I ordered on the 12th but it has been "picking" for 5 days now I'm kind of disappointed that I (promised to!) shell out so much money and now I'm waiting considerably longer than carrier customers. I'm quite patient but I wish let's talk would be a bit more finite with their dates, there is no way they have been "picking" my phone for the better part of a week.
I will only be angry if I get the phone and it has hardware defects. I would imagine the RMA process with these guys would be terrible

So was mine, shipping today for 2 days...i called them and she said oh it's because we ran out of stock (thanks for that heads up). So I cancelled and went to AT&T, which i'm glad i did they gave me $150 off even though i wasn't due for any upgrade for a long time..
Ordered on 4/9 and it still shows picking status as well. This is definitely getting ridiculous.
I ordered two 64gb dev edition handsets on the 10th and I'm on back order. I called HTC and they said there next shipment is on the 29th.
I am having the same problem too, it remaied picking for almost a week and hopefully i could get this by the end of this April because i am gonna leave on May 2nd.
My status just changed from "picking" to "ready to be shipped". What does that mean?

I chose free (Royal Mail) shipping so can't complain with a 3-day service.
I ordered mine Saturday evening and it arrived today. Granted, I paid the 10euro surcharge for faster delivery.
was out of stock when i ordered but it got dispatched at 3am on friday and delivered at 10am on monday - free royal mail delivery.
You are so lucky.
I have to wait till it arrives in germany.
Bought on wednesday, 26.06, and was shipped on friday. But now since one day its not moving

I also paid for express shipping.

Yes, I received it yesterday, on monday.
It is really a great mobil phone and feels unbelievable valuable.
I am really sure that I made the right choice for me.
However, I have a problem with the screen, a group of six dead pixels, and I leave the country in a few days
for one month and don't have much time to make a replacement.
I contacted the support and they are willing to exchange the phone under warranty when I'm back,
not mainly because of the number of dead pixels, but also because they are located so near to each other.
So..the support is also very nice.
I'm sure that I want to stay with the Find 5.

No dead pixels on mine and, having read a few articles on the oppo find 5 both on these forums and other web pages, I've not heard anybody else mention anything about dead pixels/QC issues. Maybe just a one off and very unfortunate for the above member.

Only seen the odd report but it's reassuring to know you can get it replaced under warranty. Bit of a hassle of course but every product has some detective units.

Me too, I've been dying to have one since I/O it's a Nexus year for me wife and I. I already pre ordered the Nexus 9 32gb (white) and Nexus Player with controller. Now I'm waiting on my black Nexus 6 64gb . I just got rid of my Nexus 7 (2013) and I'm selling one of my G3's. I have been waiting a while for the Nexus phablet and now android TV. It's going to be a good year for android.
I wonder if it will support 3-4 controllers for multiplayer? That would be awesome then I could play mario kart SNES or N64 on my TV without pulling out those old consoles.
I Ordered mine on the same day it was released on the 17 Oct and I was able to order the Game Controller also I don't when I will get my stuff.
