Ordering this phone in Chicago... - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I live in India and I'm asking a friend to get me the Nexus 4. But here is the catch :
This friend is leaving from there on the twenty first of November. So the phone must reach her before that. Will it?
Assuming she orders the phone on the 13th at around 10-11 AM, how many hours will Google take to process the order?
Also on their site it says shipping won't take more than 2 days for shipping + another 2 days for processing the order (correct me on this if I'm wrong) but are there chances of it taking longer? Either because they receive more orders they can handle or something?
Also, if she orders by 11 AM, which is a full eleven hours after you're actually allowed to, will the phone be sold out by then?
If the phone reaches her a day or two in advance then that's brilliant because she has the time to check it for defects or at least check if it's not DOA.
Oh, she lives in some suburb of Chicago.

I hope too but can anyone confirm, or at least give me some sort of information about this?
Someone reply, please.

When Nexus 7 was open to order I did the over nigjt shipping and i got the Tab on the 3rd day or placing the order. So I am sure it will be the same.

How much was the price difference between overnight shipping and regular shipping? And how much will the time difference be?

Was a 10 dollar difference and regular shipping could take upto 7 days for it to get to u. So if you dont want to risk it I would do over night shipping.

Where are nexus 7 shipping from?

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.

Done, I just ordered it, the confirmation email says that I wont be charged until is shipped, I Think could cancel the order if its not shipped at the end of tomorrow to avoid the risk dont you think?
I ordered mine today around 2 EST and I seen they took the money out of my account. No shipping info yet. Hopefully I get it by the weekend or I'll kill myself

Should be 2 days via UPS

I don't want to get it and then they release a new one where the back is not glass because everyone cried about the back cracking.
The iPhones are like this and people love it, though.

Definitely first day. I've been using this BlackBerry 9700 for six days and I can't take it anymore. I need some Android back in my life.
I was going to buy at 00:01, but hen decided to wait a few weeks to see about reported battery issues, etc. But after reading http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/21287/google-nexus-4-buy-or-not-buy I'm back to waking up early and hitting "buy now"!
CC in hand and waiting:good:

well, every half hour here in Australia I was refreshing the nex4 16gb store page, every half hour didnt really seem to be enough, because the 16gb version was sold out here in less than 20 minutes. what its going to be like for the rest of you guys, im not sure.
also for anyone that was relying on the email going out to notify you that its availabe, dont, I never got one!
just some info there for you guys.
Frustrated that i dont have a Nexus 4 though
Hmm. Maybe I should buy two and flip. Lol.

Maybe someone made them available too early and they are not really sold out and everyone is running around with their heads cut off.
Lets see what happens in 3 hours..

Like Tescos. Damn it.
time?
what time did it go on sale in Australia? 12am or 8am?
Around 12.15 pm Sydney time. That'll be +11 GMT. Strange time if you ask me.
so i guess the sale starts around 12pm local time everywhere. would be better if people from other parts of the world can confirm the sale time.
Yeah someone please confirm the time !
Nov 13 isn't coming soon enough!
Was lucky enough to pick up a 16GB Nexus 4
Checked my phone at 12.03pm Adelaide Time or 12.33pm Sydney time and saw the "Add to Cart"
Now just gotta wait for it to get shipped. ^^
I am in Melbourne Australia, I doubt the nexus 4 sold out. Here is what I think happened:
Someoen made them available too early for us AUstralians by mistake and went 'woops' later and put it back to coming soon.
This could well be true because:
1. 12:15 PM for available release time is weird
2. Not a lot of Australians know about the nexus 4 as most Australians are iSheeps and they wouldn't know about this availability on november 13th unless they were reading android news.
3. And with not that much people knowing about it, and just in general tit would be impossible for them to run out of stock in less than half an hour, even the iphones which is marketed profesionally isnt even able to do that (get sold out in less than 30 mins)
4. Many people have called google and they have said that there will be no seperate times, 12 AM PST
5. 1 more hour and 15 minutes until 12 AM PST guys lets keep our hopes up

But the 8GB version was available for a longer period of time. If what you assume is true, they would have fixed all accidents at once...

Then how did Sparky_boi order one genius, you were too slow, I gotta wait until next month to ship it from States via a relative and wanna make sure it comes with a case and screen protector so its gonna be a LOOONG wait
I tried to order N4 and N10 and added them to my cart and tried to checkout but google just gave me an error and deleted my cart.
After repeating the precedure 5 times the devices eventually got sold out.
Any word ontwhen the next batch will be released, or even guesses?
Theyre already on ebay for 450+ for the 8gb version.. ewwww
Haha, one of the local kijiji ads have one for 1000 bucks :S
Went on sale at 11:40 exact on EST here in New York. Snagged one just in time, and my order went through and I got a confirmation email so now I am awaiting for it to be shipped!

So... What now?

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.
least I have time to buy a qi wireless charger and hopefully find a case that isn't the crappy bumber

I wanted to by one in the morning but arrived at work at 8.50 am and all N4s were already sold out. Bummer. Maybe it was a sign I got anyway already scared after all the bad benchmarks and the thermal throttling. I bought now the HTC OneX+ for 199 bucks and it has Jellybean. At least I have LTE and it will work fine. Still have my GNex to play with 4.2.
Waiting for a Nexus 5 with LTE

I just called customer support because I too got this email, but my account says its still expected to be shipped by today and the representative told me that everyone who ordered a Nexus 4 got this email. He said that only the people who ordered 2+ devices could be waiting, but those who ordered 1 aren't likely to be backordered.

I only ordered 1 Nexus 4 16GB but i got that backorder email. I just talked to a google REP also and he said, its on backorder. I also had a Nexus 10 16GB in the same order and he said, since the order is bundled, I now have to wait for my Nexus 10 until the Nexus 4 becomes available to ship even though the Nexus 10 16GB is available right now. I asked for a request for my Nexus 10 to be shipped separately earlier and REP said, it can't be done as they are in same bundled order. Lame lol would have been nice if I could have at least had my Nexus 10 earlier. Oh well, it is what it is.

You do realize that google does not manufacture devices. Period. If you want to be mad, be mad at lg. Also if your last couple of devices didn't sell all that well to begin with would you really stock up on a bunch of hardware that has the potential to not sell on top of selling at a minimal gain or slight loss?
Stop whining and be glad that you're getting an extremely underpriced phone out of contract.

Just got off the phone with Google Order Support. They confirmed that anyone that received the email will be placed on back order. Anyone who ordered who has not received the email will have theirs shipped this evening and that all the back order emails had gone out. So if yours is still processing, you will get your shipping confirmation later this evening with 1-2 day shipping.
Please don't kill the messenger.
