Biohead Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Managed to snag one on release day from CPW in the UK. Pretty nice to have that launch day feeling :woot: Just waiting for 3 to rollout 4G now. That said 20mbps on 3G isn't bad at all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 3, 2013 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2013 I ordered a white 32GB model yesterday to replace my aging iPhone 4S, haven't used an Android phone for years but my Nexus 7 has improved my view of the OS a fair bit. Got a tracking number this afternoon, still isn't shipping for 2-3 weeks though, but at least I'll have something to check :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted November 3, 2013 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2013 Odd, you should get that sooner then. They can't give you a tracking number for something they haven't scanned which they do once the label is created. Hmm ... maybe I should jump on my 16GB then as it says 3-4 weeks now. I've been going over it with the wife but after missing out on the initial rush and now playing with 4.4 on my Nexus 4 I was planning to wait but man i'm a tech ###### and love new smelling gadgets! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 3, 2013 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2013 They've created the "label", but it still says 2-3 weeks until it ships. I'd love for an earlier ship (FedEx says Wednesday :laugh:), but I doubt it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I ordered at 2 pm (Eastern time) on launch, finally got my shipping email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for an earlier ship (FedEx says Wednesday :laugh:), but I doubt it'll happen. I'm pretty sure it will happen because its an unwritten rule for UPS (and i'm guessing all shipping companies) that you don't generate labels before you are at least close to ship. It makes them look bad that they took long to ship a package. Especially AIR packages which are guaranteed. If you ordered that now with air and they generate a label then they didn't ship for 3 weeks then that would show up on so many people's radar (I worked at UPS :p) They make a big stink about AIR packages being late even if people don't complain. I've driven packages in the back of my car from the hub to the airport/other hub in NJ, MD because they missed the scheduled driver with no other person with enough hours able to go. (Truck drivers are limited on driving hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Truck drivers are limited on driving hours). It's still in "limbo", it hasn't even been handed to FedEx, so it's not like it's sitting in a truck somewhere collecting dust. It's strange, but I assume it's done like this so they can separate the payment from the actual delivery, I know I wouldn't like having to keep the money for it sitting untouched in my account for the next half month waiting for them to ship it.

webeagle12 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I would order one now if I new it would work on Verizon. Anyone else have a clue? No its not capable with Verizon network and Google will not release Verizon version. Verizon users are out of luck on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted November 4, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not sure where mine is at the moment - I have the UPS tracking code, but all I get on the UPS tracking website so far is 'A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Mine arrived half an hour ago. :D Excuse the poor-quality picture; that was taken with my soon-to-be-no-longer iPhone 3GS. :P Depicus 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LogicalApex MVC Posted November 4, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 4, 2013 I snagged the 32GB Black within a half hour of launch to replace my Nexus 4 16GB also in black (the Nexus 4 goes to my wife). It is moving through the UPS system and should be in my hands tomorrow. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LogicalApex MVC Posted November 4, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 4, 2013 My device just shipped ... but from Louisville, KY ?? Louisville, KY, United States 11/01/2013 17:33 Origin Scan United States 11/01/2013 11:17 Order Processed: Ready for UPS :Facepalm: Not a shocker. UPS WorldPort is their main hub for the US (and I'm sure by extension Canada)... The phones are shipped from South Korea using UPS and UPS employees actually pull them out of the pallets and ship them to you. Keeping the cost for LG down (no need to have a US warehouse)... It is all apart of the UPS supply chain solutions related stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Gah, mine is on the truck for delivery still. I keep refreshing. Going to lunch with the team at 1 so I was hoping to sneak home and grab it before then. It's got about another hour to be delivered or it'll have to wait until after lunch. THE SUSPENSE!!!!

Lucky you. My UPS tracking has finally updated. It was scheduled for delivery on Wednesday, but now it's "early" delivery on Tuesday. I will be so tempted to make it my primary phone. But I think my HTC One is still going to be my daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
