New Nexus 4 Batch Shipping Out

Published

on

It appears that a fresh new wave of Nexus 4 orders have shipped out today, a great sign for those who ordered the new Nexus smartphone, and a sign that Google and LG might be making progress in ironing out their supply issues that have plagued the device since November.

According to Android Central, it seems a new batch of Nexus 4 orders has started to ship out to customers who ordered the device when it was available through Google’s Play Store.

Some owners, who ordered as far back as November 30th, are evidently receiving shipping information today, just before the the New Years holiday. Google uses two day shipping so while it’s possible that some orders may arrive tomorrow ahead of the new year, it could be that many of them don’t arrive until Wednesday of next week. Others who ordered the Nexus 4, and specifically those in the early part of December, are saying that they have not received any sort of shipment indication from Google.

The Nexus 4 remains sold out though Google managed to ship a new wave of orders out today.

So while this isn’t a clear indication that more stock of the Nexus 4 is on the way, it does seem like it could be a bit of progress in regards to the Nexus 4’s inevitable return to the Google Play Store.

Since the end of November, the Nexus 4 has been dealing with shipping issues that at first, pushed its shipping dates all the way into 2013. Shortly after that, the Nexus 4 8GB sold out completely and several weeks later, the 16GB Nexus 4 model followed suit. As it stands, the device is currently unavailable through Google’s website leaving third-party websites like eBay and Craigslist as the only places where customers can find it for sale.

Those websites though offer prices that are far more expensive than the ones that are being offered through Google’s website, making the Google Play Store the place that most people have ordered from.

And until Google and LG can figure out the supply issues, issues that the companies have seemingly blamed on each other, these will be the only places that buyers will be able to find the unlocked Nexus 4.

      I received my Nexus 4 a few business days after my bank account got charged.

      Be patient, it is well worth the wait. Good Luck!

    I ordered on November 27th and have received no such notice that mine will be shipping? @Nere did you order 8gb or 16gb? it may be because i ordered a 16gb nexus 4.

    • Nere

      12/28/2012 at 3:04 pm

      I ordered the N4 16gb, but haven’t received tracking number yet :( . But my order date changed to Dec 28th

    I ordered the 8gb on november 27th as well and am yet to receive any notification whatsoever. No changes have been made since i placed the order. Google is playing games with its customers. How is it that some people ordered on december and are already getting shipping notifications while those that ordered as far back as november are still left out? First come first served google, note that

    I ordered mine November 27th with a 2-3 week ship date. Received it on the 10th of December. They(Google) withdrew money from my bank and put the money back in, then withdrew again. I didn’t understand the point, but I didn’t care, because I had the phone in my hand a few days later.

      Ray did you order 8 or 16 GB? It seems the long waits have been for the 8gb.

    • Chuck

      12/28/2012 at 8:47 pm

      Same with me. I ordered the 16gb model. It is nuts that some people who ordered earlier still haven’t received shipping info yet and some who ordered way later have the phone already. I even ordered and received the bumper,too.

    Just received E-mail from Google PLAY my N4 had been shipped out! I think this round of stock would full fill all order before December. If you haven’t received info, I think you will get it soon!

    Orderded Nexus 4 16 GB on Dec 12 (UK), supposingly one of the last to be available! I always here from people ordering first days of Dec of the end of Nov, the latest was Dec 4. Any late order having received shipment info at least?

    Just received my shipping notice this morning (Jan 3rd). Ordered on Dec 3rd and got charged on Dec 28th. Tried calling Google a couple of times this week to find out why there was such a delay between charge and shipment. They answered right away but were of no use. They just regurgitated what was on Google Wallet. It was also the first time in a long while that I had to spell my first name “A-N-D-Y” to a person who spoke perfect English. Anyway, ETA is 1/4 end of day.

      I got the tracking number 1 day after I got charged and it had no tracking info until 2 days later. It took 4 days to get it after that, but because there was a weekend and a holiday in between.

    I ordered my Nexus 4 on 12/02 and got it on 1/02 (US) and I am very happy with it. I activated my line with a prepaid plan on Solavei. Here is a video if you want to see it in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsgcXsZOhyM
