[Poll] I successfully preordered mine on what day - Nexus 6 General

Just curious when everyone got their preorders in (or haven't). I wonder if google is periodically adding inventory now, or if that period of time is over.

Successfully completed my Preorder on Oct 29th
(Blue 32gb)

No fricken Nexus6 Inventory available on any of those days so far....

Preordered 32 gb Cloud White on Oct 29.

It looks like they probably aren't trickling them out, given the answers to the poll. I'm going to try to not obsess over it and grab one on Day-1, now.

The 32gb blue was available in the afternoon today for a minute and couple days ago at 3:30 am.

Pre-ordered 64gb white on 10/29

I ordered mines on the 29th and my bank has had a pending payment listed 10/29 and my order still says leaves warehouse 11/21

i have not been able to preroder and gave up finally...

I have been popping on to the play store site to check and see if there's activity at different times of the day and night and I have not seen any change....other than the removal of the 6 months free music reference. I'm hoping with the 2 week turnaround of the N9 from pre-order to available stock on the website the N6 will follow suit????

w00t! Snagged one about 30 minutes ago.
It's White. I preferred Midnight Blue but it'll do. Did get 64 GB though.

what a **** pre-order.!!!

If you don't mind me asking, what time of day in what time zone were you able to preorder?

4:09 pm EST today.

Thanks for that. Are you the guy with the python script or do you just do the refresh game at certain times of the day?

No. I just used page monitor. Nothing fancy. I clicked a lot of false alarms before I hit one.

got a ship date yet?

I've resigned to getting one from T-Mobile on the 12th. I check every now and then, but no dice.

Says 11/21 just like everyone else's. I think they'll ship this week though, or maybe Monday.

The ones that are briefly coming available are probably because a few people are canceling their pre-orders.

Just cancelled my order from 'Play' and ordered it from 'DeviceWire', should have it on Thursday woop woop.
Sweet. Had my pre-order in since 10th of November with devicewire.

Hi,
Just thought we'd pop in and give you a quick update.
All pre-orders have been shipped and orders placed before 4pm today were also shipped.
We do have a handful left at the time of writing this post, but don't expect them to be around long.
There is a 15 Day trial copilot included within the box and the full version that unlocks all features can be found here : http://www.devicewire.co.uk/brands/copilot
The reason for the stock figures increasing was due to our stock being booked in over an hour or so. As orders came in stock went down but as we booked in new stock the figure would have increased.
Hope that helps.

Ordered mine just in case I manage to sell my iphone 32gb... in two minds which one to keep.
I can always cancel the order from devicewire if I have a sudden change of heart.

Thrusday still bater then saturday, i paid £.19.99 to get on weekend (although refunded).
Also remember expansys wasn't even going to deliver by weekend.
Huzzah my DW HD2 is here. Off to open box now. Hopefully it is actually a HD2....
OMG, that really is a small box.
Edit: Out and playing with it now (the phone), quite quite different to my Kaiser.
UPS man still hasn't come even though tracking says it is out for delivery.
Biffy, aren't you supposed to charge the phone overnight to optomize battery before using it?
haha, wait all night before using the phone?! You're joking right?

Just ordered today. Overnight shipping?

I'm pumped as **** to get this sucker in my hands. Can I actually expect it to be shipped overnight and on my doorstep tomorrow? What have been your experiences with wait time between order and receipt?

I ordered mine on a Friday at like 3am in the morning, got it Monday, so it was technically overnight since they do not ship on weekends.

Depends on when you ordered, there is a thread about 30 pages long a search should bring up. And yes, it really is over night as long as you ordered in time for them to process it before the daily pick up.
What time did you order it?
Also, you will get an email update, and can check the status in your google checkout, it gets updated very quickly and accurately.

Tomorrow would be PERFECT. My wife just had surgery, so I'll be home all day watching over her, with plenty of time to root and get acquainted with my Nexus. If it comes Wednesday, instead, I'm screwed, as I will be back at work and in meetings from 8am-5pm.

Woohoooo! I just looked at the status page on Google Checkout, but it still says "Not Yet Shipped." Should I be concerned, or is it just that it hasn't been updated properly yet to reflect the true status of the order?
Hard to say... I would think it would have been updatede by now. IIRC, not only does the order have to be placed, but the payment has to clear as well. As well, I think the actual cut off is 12 noon for a "guarantee" since FedEx typically does large pick ups like that around 3ish... they make all deliveries by 3PM, then start on their pick ups.

Yeah, just check in the morning to make sure, but I am thinking you missed the window if it hasn't updated yet. Mine updated 30 minutes after FedEx did the initial scan.

You guys are lucky. After it was first released we all had to pay for overnight shipping when it took 3 or 4 days. Those were some of the most painful days...
I ordered mine today, but chose ground shipment, does anybody know how many days does this take? (why ground - there is no hurry , do not want N1 there tommorow)
I ordered from from Europe and shipped to california. (the tax was 51 $ - that's a lot) And a friend will bring it to me.
I hope it will arrive in less than a week!
by the way:
I sold G1 and now I went back to Windows mobile 6.1 on my old HTC p3300. Now I see that ANDROID is superior in any way. This Wmo SUCKS! Wha ta peace of SH*T!
Can not even thing I will ever go to another different OS.
Ordered mine at about 9pm cst on a Monday and it arrived the next day about 10am. I tracked it all night lol.

EVO Sells Out In-Store & Online

Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?

Every store in Houston sold out within 15 minutes. I was able to convince a best buy employee to give me some poor other guys preorder...

Here was the message
"Sorry, this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves.
Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!
i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Not sure how I did it to be honest. I'm told I come across as very intimidating.. but I was in no way upset, and understanding of the shortage. Next thing I know I see him go to the locked closet...grab one out of the stack and peel someones name off of it..

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday
Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!
Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)
its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!
Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.
I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.
Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.
argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.
how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery

[Q] How long was shipping for your Nexus 4?

Hi yall
I'm really interested in the Nexus 4 and I plan on getting one.
The thing is that it says it will arrive in 6-7 weeks. I just don't quite believe that because when I ordered my Nexus 7, it says that I had to wait 3-4 weeks for delivery, and this was in the first week it came out. I ordered it on Wednesday night around 830pm, got the shipping confirmation Thursday night at around 6pmish, and it arrived on my doorstep at around 3pm friday (~45 hours from ordering to delivery, pretty good considering it was the 2nd week it came out). So, since google lied to be before, I wanted to see how long it took you guys to actually get your Nexus 4s. Just put the date or time you ordered and the date and time it arrived. I just want to see whether or not it took a couple of weeks for people to get their Nexus 4.
tl;dr: Google lied to me about how long I had to wait for shipping before, so my question is: How long did it take for you to get your Nexus 4 from order to your doorstep?
UPDATE: So I ordered it on 12/2 and I got it around 1/7, so about 36 days or 5 weeks +1 day, so it's a bit faster than the 6-7 weeks that they said it would take, fyi im in LA. (btw, n4 is hands down, THE best phone available right now, just use dropbox or something to keep stuff on the cloud and you're set. Really awesome.)
Shipping statistics: Fastest: 2-3 days. Longest: ~8 weeks. Average: 4-5 weeks
Overall shipping conclusion: I guess it depends on where you live, some received theirs in 2-3 days while others 7-8 weeks, and I think they track your isp to get your approximate location to give you the ETA on how fast the shipping would be when you first see it available, but on average, expect it to arrive in about 5 weeks
Thanks and keep giving me the info and tell your friends to buy one too!!

I guess you didn't follow the hot mess that was the initial ordering process... either people got it in the estimated ship time of 3 - 5 days or they had to wait about 3 weeks for it to arrive even though when they ordered it listed 3 - 5 days.
My advise, assume google isn't lying to you, from what I can tell the estimated ship time from this last round of orders ranged from 1 - 2 weeks to 6 - 7, depending on when you ordered it.
I ordered mine on the 13th and received it on the 19th.

From what people have posted, it seems that the majority of people have gotten theirs in a reasonable amount of time, with the exception of FOXY ROXY, but UPS screwed that up.
Conclusion: Google lies, it's a good lie though.
I wonder if anyone really had to wait 3-5 weeks for theirs, but I guess those people haven't existed yet... since 3-5 weeks after the 13th would be this coming week? (at the earliest!)
We'll see!

Keep in mind, everyone who ordered before the 27th, had a 3 - 5 DAY waiting period quoted, not weeks. No one (i think) who has ordered it with a quoted time of 3-5 weeks have yet received it. Some people who got quoted 3-5 DAYS did wait 3 weeks. Like me.
Ordered it the 13th, received it the 29th. (3-5 day quote)
I did get the other one I ordered on the 13th on the 16th though. Also 3-5 quote.
Bought on November 13th received on 30th
Ordered 29 Nov. 4-5 weeks shipping time quoted.
Last night, I dreamed that my N4 had shipped. Then I woke up.
Ordered on the 13th and received it on the 29th. If they say 5-6 weeks they mean it, my confirmation email originally said ships in 3-5 days but then got an email saying up to 3 weeks. It took 2 weeks and 2 days. The soonest you're going to see one if you order today is the first week of January.
I ordered mine on the 27th was quoted 2-3 weeks, hasn't shipped yet as far as I know (no tracking info, nothing), but credit card has been authorized.

Wow. So I guess those who ordered earlier in the month got theirs already and then the N4 got back-ordered and delayed shipping for everyone else. So I guess i should probably expect a 3 weekish wait if I order today.
btw. It's available again, well the 16gb one is so I got me one.
Wish me luck! And Thanks for the input guys!

I really hope Google Play is lying, because I ordered my LG Nexus 4 during the second run on Dec 2nd and it said it was going to take 6-7 weeks, two days later it shows 5-6... Hopefully I get by xmas. Please keep us updated!
Ordered on Dec 4, UPS tracking says Out for Delivery today, Dec 6.
However the one that I ordered on Nov 27 is not shipped yet.
I'm still waiting for mine

How long was the Nexus 4 sold out and when did you buy yours?

With the N5 coming soon, it's finally time to ditch my trusty old GNex. The G2 has most of the things I'm looking for in a phone (large, high quality screen, great battery life, excellent camera), but the $600 off-contract price and bloatware makes it a no go for me. The N5 looks really good on paper, but unfortunately it nerfs most of the things I like about the G2. I was hoping to wait for reviews and comparisons to come out first, but "waiting after release" for a Nexus product has it's own problems, in terms of actually being able to get one.
So I wanted to ask you guys for your experience with the N4. How long was it between being available at the Play Store and being sold out? Was it available for preorder and did it sell out even then? How long after selling out did it become available again? And when did you buy your N4 and how easy/hard it was to get?
If I recall correctly, the first batch was sold out within 15-20 mins.
And then a second batch was available after few weeks after.
And I think after 6~8 weeks most of the people who miss their chance with the 1st and 2nd batches got theirs.
I think after 2 or 3 months, they start having steady stock? Someone can correct this.
Google claims they did not anticipate that many buyers for the devices.
There wasn't a preorder on the release date,
but I'm sure they will have enough stock or preorder this time around.

i think your right but even after the 2 month there was still a 4-5 week waiting list
Well, I remember that I was mad at google on launch day because they started sales 30 minutes before it was supposed to go on sale, so by the time I was able to take out my phone in class to buy one, they were sold out. Then I had to wait until November 27th to buy one, that was when the second batch came out, and it arrived on Dec. 6th.

I'll add to this that on the first day, November 13th they did indeed sell out in the first 15 minutes which was 15 minutes before the official start time. I logged on at the correct time, noon pacific, and was still able to place an order but it was placed on backorder a day later, the system kept taking orders even though they were sold out throughout that first day. My backorder was filled on the 27th and arrived around the 6th some peoples backorders arrived weeks later and the system would periodically take new orders but they too would go into backorder. It took months to get it all sorted out.
I waited until January and I finally got too antsy and paid $415 for it on eBay. That's how impatient I am at times. Granted back then the markup I paid was only $115 (actually less since I didn't have to pay sales tax) since it was still price at $299 then. Was worth it to me.
Got it after tax refund in February

Well, I remember that I was mad at google on launch day because they started sales 30 minutes before it was supposed to go on sale, so by the time I was able to take out my phone in class to buy one, they were sold out. Then I had to wait until November 27th to buy one, that was when the second batch came out, and it arrived on Dec. 6th.

Well technically speaking, Google never specified a time that it would go on sale. They only specified a date, and nothing else. The fact that it would launch at different places within their respective time zones was also unknown to us (however somewhat known to the US people as it launched in places like Australia and the UK first).
Everyone only had conjectures about the times, and lots of people like me checked at every time possible, including 9 PM the night before, 10 PM the night before, 11 PM the night before, midnight the night before, 9 Am the next morning, etc. I think people expected it to come at 9 AM like Google's usual launches, yet it ended up actually launching at 8:27 AM PST or something near that. People who checked at 9 AM, such as yourselves I'm assuming, were already too late unfortunately. I for some reason was just paranoid about it and had been refreshing the page every five minutes since nearly 8 AM. Still, even at 8:30, the site was having major problems and I was only able to get my order through at 9:00ish, a few minutes before it sold out. Sort of the reason was because my Google Wallet stuff wasn't ready yet, so yes, when you do order, have that address + credit card ready beforehand as the default.
I was in the first 15 minutes to order. I used a chrome app to refresh the page for me and alert when there was a change. I was awake all night until it was purchased (granted I work nights so it was no big deal for me). However, I didn't get it for like 4 weeks. I had to call Google a few times and they kept giving different answers and stated that some were some how lost, but if they manually looked it up they could find your order. So, I was way behind when I should have got it.

I ordered first day. Woke up 10 minutes after it went online and it was sold out. But, around 2pm I bought one after class. Unfortunately, I got that dreadful backorder email later that night took about two weeks to get mine from the second batch

Bought mine the first day. I was online ready to order it the night before and then everyone found out they wouldn't be selling it till the next morning at 9 am PST.

I got mine at the second batch. Sold out in 3 minutes though...
So, good luck to all of us.
I got mine in about January. I couldn't get my hands on one in Europe until then.
Definitely worth the wait though :laugh:.
