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.

Just that
I'll be until next Monday in the US, I decided to go with Nexus 7 16GB but ordering now I'm not sure if there is enough time to get it before I leave.
I'm in Seattle WA and I wonder if the location from where the N7 is sent affects the time of shipping? where is that location?
Best Regards!
It ships from ASUS' factory in China.
I'm in the same area and both of my 8GB Nexus 7's have been coming from Kentucky. It doesn't really matter where they come from, they always use 2-day shipping within the US. The only thing you have to worry about is the extra few days it might take them to process it, but based on my experience last week I would say if you ordered today most likely you'll get the tablet on Friday.

I'm just curious as to why Google is not offering pre orders? Are they planning on pushing the release date back last minute? To me it doesn't make sense. With how many hundreds of thousands of people all trying to purchase one of these at midnight the minute it becomes available, I can for see the Google play store being overloaded and Google not being able to process orders efficiently. A pre order makes sense to me.

The same thing would happen no matter what date they put on it. If they started accepting preorders tomorrow, there would be the exact same situation then as on the 13th.
I think it'll take a couple of days for them to get the initial orders shipped out.
I'm expecting a logistics fail just like the N7. My guess is they just don't want it to be as bad, so they are pulling pre-order out of the equation.
I'm going to wait till after thanksgiving and save myself the headache of wondering if/when it'll ship and if I'll actually be around or not to sign for it.
One reason..... Nexus Q.
In theory, if needed, Google could push the release another month, and nobody could gripe.

I kind of hoping they will use the signup for notification as a kind of tool to reduce the rush. Maybe when they contactus that the Nexus 4 is available then they will include some kind of code that will place our order in line with when we showed interest. Any that did not show interest will have to wait until after they fill the interested request. At least I would like something like that.

Not quite. If they put pre orders up today, they would have until the 13th to get it all straightened out. So even if the play store crashed right now, they at least have 5 days to process any orders already in there. Waiting until the 13th to accept any payments is a recipe for disaster.

And really they could have all these orders processed and ready to ship. Software update would be pushed ota as soon as the customer turns on the phone and sets up their Google account.
Not sure why Google wouldn't do the background work ahead of time like taking orders.

To be honest I am not surprised and am pleased google realized the nexus 7 pre order was a disaster. If they can not handle the volume like apple, stop the pre order so that they can honestly forecast when they will ship. I know many of you will not like my opinion but I was not happy with my nexus 7 pre order process. I will gladly wait until launch date for the nexus 4.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
But what I'm trying to say is if say 300,000 people all place an order as soon as they can which will overload the play store, wouldn't it make more sense to have it overloaded BEFORE launch date? That way they have a few days to get it up and running again? If 300,000 people placing an order at once crashes the play store, why would u want it to happen on launch day? For arguments sake, say it takes 3 days to restore the servers and get up and running again. I would rather those 3 days be Friday Saturday and Sunday, not Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. To me its a no brainer. Preorders always make sense to me IMO.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Google play customer support told me the only reason why they would have pre orders is to have an estimate of how many units to manufacture but the nexus 4 is already in mass production and should be ready to meet consumer needs. Only downfall is we'll probably prove them wrong lol

Wow... people really whine about not being able to order an item before its for sale?
Its like crying for not being able to pay for something earlier with no effect on how quick I'll get it. It wouldn't be faster, there's a reason why they take orders the 13th of November instead of the 11 or 12th. You pre-order wouldn't be "sitting in boxes" waiting for a date to flip for the sake of it.
They start taking orders the 13th. Don't expect to get it the 14th either
Probably 3-5 processing days. And processing isn t just sorting boxes, it can just as much be that they don't get the actual device for a few more days.
Anyways, I really hope that you don't cry at your landlord that you would like to pay for your rent in advance.

I dont think you read my post. A pre order option does absolutely NO HARM. I work in sales and deal with purchase orders on an every day basis. I know for a fact that if I want to ship material out on the 13th, I would like to have the purchase order BEFORE HAND. Its called being prepared. You make sure you have the inventory. You make sure you have the payment. You make sure you have the shipping address. You make sure you have the order correct. Its called the background work. Contract Review. If a customer issued a purchase order to me on the 13th wanting their purchase to ship on the 13th, it is most likely not going to happen. ESPECIALLY when how many hundreds of thousands of people are issuing their purchase orders ALL AT ONCE. If Google wants to say the 13th is the release date for shipping, then having a preorder option is the best solution. If they want to say the 13th is when they start accepting payment, then really that is just a preorder itself. Because I can assure you that everyone who places an order on the 13th will not have their phone shipped that day. Yes I am aware of processing times and everything. What I am trying to say is you have the processing time taking place before the phone is set to ship. You have your orders in place, payment accepted, an understanding of how many devices are going out and to where and when. That kind of stuff can be done before the phone is even ready to ship. Its not rocket science. So take a minute and think logically about what you are saying before you reply.

It's not impossible that the 13th is only the start of the pre-orders, though that would be really mean of Google. As their site very vaguely states,
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Explain to me exactly what part in there tells you "shipping"?
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th.
My point is... their PLAN is probably not to start SHIPPING the 13th, probably the 14th or 15th. That is the best wording you could use for that purpose.
I doubt it is pre-order starting the 13th though. But no reason to expect getting a device before the 20th or so.
Well it was hard work but I finally managed to get my order though for the Nexus 10.
How was everyone else's experience? Did you have problems with the Google Play site like I did?
Still having problems, trying to order Nexus 4 16gb with bumper and nexus 10 32 gb in one basket but even they appears and disappears very quickly. Now none from nexus 4 devices is available, also there is no option to buy bumper for nexus 4 and only available option is to buy nexus 10 16gb... cant wait to buy them all

sure did!

Managed to get it after an hour hitting refresh and putting it in and out of the basket. The 16GB N10
yeah, N7 and N10 16gb is available for sale, but rest of nexuses are sold out :/
So is this even going to be available in the us by the time they allow us to order it or is it just going to be sold out in the us. I set two alarms and got no sleep to find out I don't even have a chance to purchase it.

Well UK orders are being shipped from Ireland therefore I would imagine US orders will be shipped from the US therefore they will all still be in stock for you guys. Everything was available to purchase from around 8:30am on the 13th so ppl from the US have a few hours to wait yet I guess...
I managed to get a 32gb version after some teething issues with the site. Looking forward to the weekend now if it arrives as promised.
When you guys ordered where there any options such as a charger or cover available?
Thanks
Ordered the 32GB. There were no accessory options. Took me two goes after getting online at 8:30am before it went through. By the time I packed up and got to work (~20 mins later) it was all sold out.
Delivery was £9.99 and states "two day" delivery.
Hopefully this means we'll have them on Thursday.
Im in Canada and it never became on sale still tells me to notify. I never got any email and I checked every hour thru the night
The times posted were for European (and before that Austrailia), it probably hasn't made it to America yet, and by extension, Canada.

Current EST time is 9:50am correct? If so everything should be available to purchase now providing it hasn't sold out already. Everything in the UK was available from 8:30am onwards.
So I'm one of the unlucky people who could not get a Nexus 4. So what now?
When are we waiting till? When will it come back in stock? What's going to happen now? Should I kill myself?
I am in the same boat. I don't have my own credit card (Use paypal for everything) and was getting the info sent to me at 11:50, which was SUPPOSED to be before the sale. Someone jumped the gun *cough*Google*cough*
Saw the sale start, I had a 16GB N4 in my cart, at the final order process, but couldn't fill out CC info and watched them all sell before my eyes. It has been a sad day.
Oh well, best we can do now is wait it out and see when they start stocking more. I am curious to see how people review it once they start getting it tomorrow, and am looking to see if battery life meets Optimus G levels. Also this gives us time to buy accessories / wait for more to come out (Anyone else hoping for an OTG Micro SD integrated case)
I couldn't buy an N4 this morning. I have my GNex listed on ebay, sale is ending any second now. Maybe I should cancel it. Pretty frustrating.
Gonna look at trying again. Don't know why but I've not been getting any luck with the website.

By restocking do you mean the 'restocking fee'.
The only reason why I am waiting for the phone is because of the restocking fee.
As soon as it goes away, I will order the nexus 4. I cant risk that might make me pay $50.
I think it will go away in 2 weeks. If it goes away in a week or this friday, it will be the best thing.

The restocking fee is part of their standard policy, and it applies to all the devices that google sells, provided you don't live in the EU or Australia. If you're in the US, its not going away.

Wait, what? The restocking fee is applied to opened and returned that aren't defective. It's nominally a charge for the repackaging they have to do. It has nothing to do with them having the phone in stock or not.

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.

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.

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.

I won't care too much about the htc reply. It is obviously from a tech-idiot.

Thank you! I suspected that, but, don't know enough about the phones to be sure.

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

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.

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?
