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

[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.

that doesn't sound too bad, if I'm assuming you mean November 13th and 19th?
I think it was a 3-5 week waiting period back then. It's good to see your answers.
I'd like to see what other people's wait times were!

Ordered - 13th November
Arrived - 20th November

Ordered on the 13th and received mine on the 21st. ( it was supposed to be the 20th but UPS screwed up )

Ordered on the 13th
Got in on the 16th, early afternoon.
Seems to be more lucky than most?
Edit: Maybe someone in Kentucky even got it on the 15th

Dang! that's quick!
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!
Thanks for all your posts!!

I ordered on the 13th and have yet to receive my N4 from Google play. No tracking yet either.

uhh... I'm kinda confused.
"Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app"?
"Sent From My Buttery Smooth LG Nexus 4"
BUT I'LL TRUST YOU! And that sucks bro.
Just checking, but have you received any emails regarding order confirmation?

Bought on November 13th received on 29th

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

Another one joins the clan.

So, I bought a N4 since it's by far the best bang for the buck. Even though I have a feeling they're going to drop the 8 and intro a 32 (an assumption) just so they can compete... you just can't beat the phone price to feature ratio.
Anyhow, I was wondering how written in stone the shipping estimate was? I'm just anxious to get it...I'm on this ****ty iPhone 4 (work phone) and I can't wait. I've read some say that it could be a few days and some have waited the full length.

It really could be anywhere in that time frame. I know the waiting is tough but you'll be happy when you get it

Suppose to be two day shipping no? I got mines within 2-3 business days...
Also since I had one of the first batches and was super eager to get my hands on item...I went to ups online and asked them to hold the package for me to pick up instead of constantly missing the guy.
And one last thing...WELCOME!

The shipping days should be based on the place you have lived.Maybe two days maybe a week, but whatever, it shouldn't take a long time if you have ordered the phone.

I ordered mine Sunday evening. Got a mail with an estimaetd delivery for friday. So 5 days. Tuesday morning: ding dong. So these infos are not very reliable

Hah, of course I post this and I wake up this morning to an email saying my order has been shipped. The order was placed Monday evening. I. Can't. Wait!!

Congratz... Your going to enjoy this awesome device!

Nexus 4 pre-ordered ?

I have placed an order last night for 16GB device and received email saying order is processing.
In my account status the order shows up as PRE-ORDERED.
What does it mean ? In the play store the device is listed with 3-5 days for delivery.

If they have stock u will recieve it in 3-5 days for sure. If they are out of stock u won't. When I ordered mine, it said they had stock, but it last 2 weeks to arrive. Follow ur order in Chronoexpress if u recieved ur id number, if not, u can just wait...

The Play store still shows the N4 is in stock with 3-5 days delivery. I wonder why they would lie about having stock and lure people to order
and then not ship for 2 weeks. Can I still cancel the order if it status shows as PRE-ORDERED ?

Be patient. You placed an order just yesterday. There are people here who had to wait 2 months for their n4. You are lucky to get it in 3 to 5 days.

It has nothing to do with patience. I need to travel on April 17 and thought I'd get the phone by then.
Wouldn't have ordered it if I knew they won't deliver as promised.
There is something called "Truth in Advertising" and I thought Google knew about that.

I ordered mine on Thursday last week and I only just got a dispatched email (10 minutes ago).
took them 5 days to process my purchase. hopefully its here tomorrow.

what did customer service say?
despite the many brilliant minds here Google is the only one that can give you answers... until then no one has lied

I will call today and find out what the real status of the order is.

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 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:.
