Pure speculation and wishful thinking
i think they will start shipping this wednesday. google said at i/o it would be 2-3 weeks, this wednesday will be 2 weeks to the day. staples also mentioned the 12-19 which follows the 2-3 week time frame google mentioned.
hopefully i am wrong and they ship today, but i have a feeling wednesday is the day.

Same here.
I feel like I'm "stepping up" and finally getting into some "real" hardware and a better user experience by getting a Nexus...anything.
I've had my share of heartaches playing with a couple of cheap Chinese tablets and thought merely switching to a name-branded one would do the trick.
My A500 from Acer has been okay, but the performance is only so-so, and the ICS update has left it buggy. That and the 10-inch form factor means that it usually stays at home.
I'm hoping that with a little work getting it connected to my home server for media that the Nexus 7 will become a TRUE daily driver for me.

No charges to my CC yet. In the past though, I've never really looked at my CC for a sign that things are shipping from Google. No. I'm jumping every single time I get a notification on my phone hoping it is the shipping/final charge email. 
So far, I'm just disappointed because it is all friends just texting. I think they're messing with me on purpose.

I was so sure I would get a tracking number today. :bawling:
Don't give up yet. My shipping email for my GNex dock pinged through at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night. I think I ordered it on the 30th of May, got the email very, very early in the AM on the 31st and if I remember right, had the dock in hand on the 1st of June. I ordered my GNex on the 24th of April, got the shipping email just after midinght (so early on the 25th) and had the item in hand the 26th if I remember right. So it seems the shipping emails go out pretty late but by the time you see it, the device is already on its journey.
Just got my cancelation confirmed, so I've renewed my order. The address is definitely correct this time

Good luck and hope you don't end up at the end of the line.
What were you asking them about?

Jellybean is now AOSP, and though it may seem unrelated to some, I see this is as a strong hint that our N7s will be arriving soon, as they were both due in "mid-July"
That's equally exciting for the fact that now custom rom devs have the Jellybean source to work with

Still no charges showing up on my credit card
Pending charges appear as soon as you place an order. What you want to look out for is when the charge actually goes through.
:motz: Buzz-kill! LOL
That's what I thought, but before today, there were no pending charges on the account.
Just trying to get some positive mojo going here. :hmmmm:

Took a peek at the xda thread that has the same function as this one...someone asked a Staples rep who said Google is shipping the 12th...now what that doesn't tell us is whether that means they're shipping it earlier to customers and that's the retailer date (which, imo would make sense since they would want those who got it directly from them receiving it first) or if that's the date they send out all shipments, which would mean the 13th the earliest but most likely the 15th-18th. So the way I see it folks, if we don't get it by or on the 12th, those will be the dates we're looking at.
Sorry, must have been a typo. I meant to say that they're probably shipping it out of the door as we speak
Where did you get the BB info? I cannot even find it for sale through them. I wanted to get it from them so that I can use my card and get the 6 month interest free financing.
Ordered June 29th... My pending charge is still missing
It was there for a few days, then went away - and it's still not back

Ah, I realize what I did. I didn't realize that the Canada was applied to the others as well, I thought it was just Future Shop Canada. Clicked on the Best Buy source link; bestbuy.ca. Sorry folks

Keep an eye on that. I had to switch cards as well, and couldn't figure out how to cancel two previous orders. Meaning Google thought I wanted to buy six tablets.
I got a call from my c.c. who thought it might be fraud. I spent some time on the phone with Google and everything worked out in the end. But I say, Google Wallet really needs to add a "cancel" button.
