Well we know from the forum that a number of those that ordered their Nexus 7 Tablets were a bit annoyed at the lack of information forthcoming early on from the company regarding when their tablets would arrive. However,It looks like the company has finally gotten wind of the discontent and is making a real effort to communicate to everyone how things are proceeding in their Nexus 7 shipments.
As you can see in the status update below from the Google Support site in the U.S. and Canada all standalone 8GB Nexus 7 orders have been shipped In the U.S. those with accessories such as cases, chargers or a Nexus Q included, your Nexus 7 Tablet will ship this week with overnight shipping but most likely your add-ons will follow shortly after. Those that ordered 16GB Nexus 7s through July 11 will have their tablets shipped by July 19th the latest again with overnight shipping. If you ordered after the 11th then your tablet will ship by the end of next week again with overnight shipping.
For further Canada, UK and Australia shipping details check out the quote below. It seems that 16GB Nexus 7 demand was very heavy and on the Google Play website there's a 3-4 week wait for them. 8GB models on the other hand are listed as 'in stock' so apparently demand for the $199 model was not as heavy or at least the company appears to have ordered more of them. All of this is of course subject to change as the company has updated their support page several times in the past day. Hit the link at the bottom to see the most up to date.
