Google updates Nexus 7 shipping details via Google Play support page

Waiting can be a tough, especially when you are talking about Google’s Nexus 7 tablet. Now, we’ve pretty much covered the news surrounding the shipments of the Jelly Bean tablet, beginning with the announcement of shipments in the U.S. and U.K. and up to the recent shipments to Canada and Australia. Still, we’re receiving tons of complaints about the delay of the arrival. In a move to settle the questions once and for all, Google has updated its Google Play support page for questions about Nexus 7 orders and delivery, complete with shipping dates. You can check out the updated page after the break.

We’ve had incredible demand for our new Nexus 7 tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. When your device ships you will receive a notification from Google Play with a shipping tracking number. We will have all orders placed through July 13 processed and shipped soon. Orders placed after July 13 will ship according to the quoted timeframe when you purchased and we will update you with a tracking number when we’ve shipped. Thanks for your patience.

Below are more specific details by country for devices ordered through July 13. If the below information is not true for you, and you ordered on or before July 13, please reach out to our support team so we can investigate.

In the US:

We’ve shipped all standalone Nexus 7 8GB orders (e.g.: those without a case, charger or Nexus Q).

We will process the remaining standalone Nexus 7 16GB orders by the end of next week with overnight shipping.
