Ah the joy of pre ordering is a sensation I had not known before.  It feels like being stabbed in the neck.

Yeah I got the we shipped your order email on Friday - I guess the meant that we actually haven't shipped your order yet but we are about to...

Why the *#$% didn't they let us cancel our orders??  I tried to ten days ago and they said that it was too late.

If you can't see any info on the ups site its because they haven't received your package thus only the label was created.

Just like many of you I have been following these forum threads like a crack addict.

I preordered the 27th of June and have been impatiently waiting since...  I called Google and waited for a long time to get the answers from them I was expecting for the most part.  I begged the guy to speculate or wish or pick a number from 14 - 21 just to give some inkling of when the pre-orderers can expect their product??!!  This guy was to smart to answer any speculation questions however so I also asked the following...

 People have been calling Google for many days and being told that they "cannot cancel their order".  When I attempted the same I also added that Google has not charged my card yet, so I may have my bank decline the charge from Google, I asked if Google is still going to send me a Nexus 7 if I decline the charges?  In essence canceling my preorder so I can walk over to Staples in a few days... 

He said that he could look into that but the point is that we all need to take into consideration that Google has not charged our accounts yet because the items haven't shipped, so if anyone is serious about not wanting to wait on a preorder when retail stores have them readily available this may be a route to take. 

Google should at least let the consumers know what the status is if they feel that they can lock us into a no way out deal.
