Here is my story hopefully this makes its rounds on the internet. No company should EVER treat its customers this way...
I attempted to cancel my order using the cancel button on my order page and was told that I needed to contact the Google Play Help Center.
I called the Help Center and told the customer service representative that I wanted to cancel my order. The woman who answered the phone told me that she was unable to cancel my order as it had already been processed - even though the watches are not scheduled to leave the warehouse until 9/19. I asked to speak to her supervisor.
The customer service supervisor got on the phone and told me that they could not cancel my order as it had already been processed and the order was sent to the warehouse. I reminded him that my order was not even going to ship for another 7 days and therefore he should be able to cancel the order. He told me he was unable to do that. He told me I had to wait until the watches shipped, then refuse the package and AFTER they receive it back, I would be credited the $512. He also informed me that once it left Google, it could take 10 days for me to receive it, refuse it, and then another 10 days to send it back. That is a total of 27 days. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he refused. I asked for his name and at first, he did not want to give it to me. When I pressed him, he told me "David". I asked for his last name and he refused. I asked for an employee number or some other identifier that I could use when writing a letter. He again refused to give me anything. He told me my only option was to wait and refuse the package. He told me that the "leaves the warehouse" date on my order was a "no later than date" and that it could leave sooner. I asked him to tell me exactly what day my order was scheduled to ship - since it had already been processed and sent to the warehouse. David told me that he couldn't give me that information because "IT WAS BACKORDERED"! THEY DID NOT HAVE THE WATCH IN STOCK! They couldn't cancel an order on a watch they didn't physically have-I had to wait until they received a shipment, processed it, shipped it to me, and then refuse it and return it!! I told him that this was absolutely ridiculous and I wanted to speak to his supervisor. He told me he "just remembered" he could cancel an order if it wasn't in stock and he put me on hold. When he came back he told me he would transfer me to shipping and returns and Cassandra would help me. He transferred the call and told me she would be able to help me.
Cassandra told me that she was unable to cancel my order and that I would have to wait for it to arrive, refuse shipment, and allow it to be sent back. I told her that was unacceptable and I wanted to speak to her supervisor, she refused. She then informed me that I had ONE HOUR after placing my order in which to cancel it! ONE HOUR! I told her that was ridiculous and she told me that was their policy. I asked her why there is a cancel button attached to my order if I am not able to cancel it after one hour. She told me she couldn't answer that. I again told her that I should be able to cancel the order when the item is backordered. She told me she didn't know if the watches were backordered and so I asked her to transfer me to the warehouse where I could speak to someone who knew the current stock status. She told me that they don't have a phone in the warehouse!!!! I again asked for her supervisor and she refused. She said "I will pass on your feedback when we discuss customer feedback issues." I said that was unacceptable and she asked if she could help me with anything else. I told her she hasn't helped me at all. She said: "I'll pass on your feedback". End of conversation.
Wow! I didn't expect that from Google Play costumerservice! Like you said that's just ridiculous!! They should easily canceled it

Just went through the same damn thing....
It clearly says on their website that you can cancel as long as it hasnt shipped.
This is complete BULL****! Outright customer deception.
I had a terrible experience purchasing the first nexus 7 from google play. My unit was defective and getting a hold of someone was impossible. They had the balls to remove their contact phone number when tons of people started having issues with their devices and orders. Luckily some websites made a screenshot of their support page that still had their phone number listed. Even with the phone number I was not really being helped. Lots of run arounds and "I can't do that". That experience has left an extremely bitter taste in my mouth from ever ordering any kind of hardware from google play. I think they have gotten better since then but I have no interest in testing that out first hand.
really wow screw them see if you can file a chargeback or something
You got a bad CS rep and manager. Did you try calling back and another time? Every company has it's bad apples.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I was able to simply go to my google play account and cancel the order.
"Cancel or change your order. Please note that changes may not be possible after the first hour."
You get than in their email from google right away.

^^ THIS!! Call your Bank or Credit company and explain to them that you have not receive the item, it is out of stock for an undetermined amount of time, and that they will not Cancel/refund you. Your Bank/Credit company will handle it from there. Once you Get your Money Refunded from your Bank/Credit company then File a Complaint with BBB and send an email to every Google Play's CS email you can find online with your BBB complaint/file number and story about "David". Mention that you would like them to contact you ASAP and watch the magic happen after that!

Sounds about status quo for Google. That particular NSA front is pretty bad at customer service.
Thank you, I won't buy any hardware from Google play after reading this!
I remember my Nexus 4 being delayed on the google play store...and then when it actually shipped I paid for the 2 day shipping but it took 4 business days to arrive. I contacted google support to at least get a shipping refund or credit, but they offered nothing except for an apology. Wouldn't use them again!
I ordered the G watch on release but canceled it within 10 minutes and had no problem.
All of you that say you'll never buy from the play store again must not use nexus devices.
Thanks God I have chosen Amazon to pre-order the EU version.
They are light-years forward when we talk about customer service!
Looks like my order shipped last night 2:30am eastern time!

I know another person has posted he/she got out of their contract....plenty have posted about credits ranging from $10-60
I was able to get $150 LOS of service credit and my upgrade back
This is sprint's fault as much as samsung and until I have a fully functional $500 phone that behaves as such, I won't stop relenting against sprint
they screwed the pooch...they should have properly tested this and they clearly didn't
I also have it notated in my account that if this issue is not resolved by the end of this month, I will be getting more credits on a rate of almost $3 per day
we all need to keep the pressure on sprint and force them to fix this issue. once they realize they are losing money by sending out new phones and giving credits, they will take this issue more seriously
Until then, they will just sweep it under the rug and hope we all forget about it
so please report back with what you have gotten
So far I got a $150 credit and upgrade back
ONLY SPEAK WITH ACCOUNT SERVICES. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO TRANSFER YOU SINCE IT GETS THEM OFF THE HOOK FOR THE SURVEY. ONCE THEY TRANSFER YOU, EXPECT THE CALL TO HANG UP....YES THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE TO GET RID OF YOU

Call technical support person have them note your account that this is a known issue. Then call account services since they probably don't have access to that information

Keep calling and your complaint automatically turns into presidential complaint after so many calls...When they say what do you want...be prepared to tell them exactly what you want. No hesitation as they will be more likely to honor your wish.. As the OP said, the more people who call and take money out of Sprint's hands the pressure will be put on WHOMEVER "Samsung/Sprint/" to come up with a solution.

Electronic Lemon Law varies by state but all states are under UCC
All 50 states have a Uniform Commercial Code, also known as the UCC, which governs the way manufacturers and retailers do business. The UCC also offer protection to consumers, including a sort of "lemon law" for certain, qualifying purchases. While the UCC is not the same as an electronics lemon law, it does help consumers recover their money if they end up with a defective product.

This will get you straight through to the employee line which handles customers accounts as well..Don't speak to them regarding issue. Tell them you need to cancel your service and only want to speak to someone who can cancel...They will transfer you to account services. This method is not straight through to account service main number, as it changes to often. You don't have go through prompts to speak to anyone though! 888-603-7981
A lady at sprint gave me $20 and told me that's out of courtesy. When I asked for more, she told me to call samsung and ask the rest from samsung! LOL! Called 3 different times and nobody seems to be aware the LOS bug on our ET4G.

Tip: When you ask to speak to a supervisor which is the only one who can authorize amounts over $30-$40 they will try to pass you to a escalations TEAM MEMBER. Ask them if there title at Sprint is supervisor? They have to say no, and will tell you they can have there supervisor call you in 30 minutes. Tell them you will keep calling till their supervisor calls back. Chances are they will put you on hold and hangup or get there supervisor. Calling back cost everyone at sprint money all the way down to the employee. They all feel it. Oh and be sure your in the right dept "account services"

I recently purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store which I am extremely happy with.
My mother (who is in dire need of an upgraded device) was drooling over this phone when she first saw me with it. So, as a mothers day gift I purchased one for her and shipped it to her address.
She called me when she received the device (last thursday) and told me that the shipping packaging was completely sealed, but the nexus box inside had a broken seal and the device's plastic protectors were pealed off and stuck to the inside of the box.
My mother gave me a ring and asked me to contact Google and would not power on the device because wanted an unopened one.
I rang Google yesterday and informed them I received a device in an opened box with a broken seal. Google said that was a bit weird, but if the device is working properly they see no need in taking any action.
So, this was relayed to my mother and I had asked her to try the device for a day or so and report back. She called me this morning to tell me that the phone was constantly turning off when charging.
I immediately called Google back today and reported the issue and asked for a replacement device. They instructed me to contact the manufacturer to resolve any issues with the device.
Now - I'm at work and I wasn't able to scream my head off, so I kindly ended my conversation with the Google representative.
I have yet to contact Samsung, but I would imagine they would want to service the device.
My question to you is: should I continue to argue with Google about replacing my device or is it really something I'm going to have to deal with Samsung about?
I really don't think that if I purchased something from a store the seller should tell me to contact the manufacturer if the purchased merchandise was open and not functional upon receipt of that merchandise directly from the seller.
Should it not be a simple refund or exchange?
UPDATE: According to the Google representative I just spoke with, Google no longer handles exchanges as of Friday 4 May. They redirected my call to a Samsung representative for an exchange. Samsung took down my IMEI number and processed an RMA for the device. I must now wait up to 24 hours to be contacted by Samsung so that I may provide my credit card information in case I don't return the device within 30 days.
Ask for an RMA
Yes it should but Samsung is only going to tell you send in the device and they will fix it but I wouldn't want a refurbished device that was supposed to brand new

Do you know what that refund window is per chance?
EDIT: nevermind found it!
Returns
To seek a refund for all or part of your purchase within 14 days of delivery, contact our support team by phone. What to expect when you call:
Our support team will ask for the e-mail address associated with your Google Wallet account, or the IMEI number for the phone you're returning.
We send a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and a pre-paid UPS shipping label to your email address; two emails.
Print the RMA (attached to the email) and place the form inside of the return shipping box.
Print the pre-paid UPS shipping label and attach the label to the outside of the shipping box.
For information on preparing your phone for return, go here.
You can initiate a return within 14 days of delivery. Upon receipt of your returned device, we'll issue a refund to the original Google Wallet account minus a 15% restocking fee. We may waive the fee for an unopened box in perfect condition. For damaged units, customers may be charged additional restocking fees based on the state of your returned device.
Refunds for returned devices will be issued to the credit card used when making the original purchase with your Google Wallet account. You will not be refunded for the shipping cost of the original purchase.
Replacements
Within 14 days of delivery, if you happen to receive a defective device that you'd like to exchange for a functioning device, please contact our support team for further assistance.
If you have configured your phone as a virtual wallet, using Google Wallet as a form of payment, prepare to switch devices.
As a precondition of replacement, Google may remotely disable the damaged phone which is to be returned to Google, with the consent of the purchaser.

14 days but there is a restocking fee of 15% I believe. However, they should replace the phone by overnighting a new one. If they won't, call them back until you find someone who will.

I just think they're hesitant on giving me an RMA for a replacement because I've already replaced my first device due to a grainy discolored screen with a lot of ghosting.
The one I have now is great.
Hopefully they won't give any more troubles with the replacement of the second purchased device.

They shouldn't. The gnex you bought for your mom is a completely different order. Besides, if their policy is to replace it, that's what they'll do.

Updated OP with info on Google's new replacement policy, or lack thereof.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I suspected that if the majority of complaints were legit and were widespread beyond XDA perfectionists , that Google would be contacting Samsung and telling them 'this is your baby', because they were pissed that they were wasting as much resources answering calls, determining whether person merited a new unit, paying postage to return defective unit and send out new one, etc. I love my phone and am happy I got it, but until I know that quality control is better I'd be apprehensive recommending it to others. I know 400 US is a great price for a phone with these features, but it still is a lot of money and for that much people should have no remorse or fears that they're not getting exactly what they paid for.
This is what happens when people abuse returns process. Some people will never be happy and will return 4, 5, 6 devices. I don't blame Google to be honest.

I ordered it online on October 25, and today called ATT and they told me it's on back order. When will it ship? They don't know. Sounds familiar...
All the 3 phones in my plan are out of contract so I am free to choose any carrier. Been with ATT since 2004, a bit too long I guess.
So I am thinking of this: cancel my pre-order, and walk into BestBuy on Nov 9, and whoever has the Note II on the shelf will win the bid and become my next carrier.
Call them back... be extremely polite. If you get a script reader, just hangup and call back.
Eventually, you'll get a non-script person... Explain how this presents a hardship to you. Explain that you actually had to take a day off of work due to unreliable UPS/FedEx deliveries (or people stealing deliveries.. or whatever.) Chat with the customer service rep. Make them feel important.
Perhaps AT&T can give you a credit of $100 to help offset the time you are losing from work due to their error? (I'm not going to tell you how often this has worked for me.. )
Then, watch as your phone is delivered on the 9th anyway.
Oh, and they are all showing as "back-ordered" in their system until the moment they switch to "shipped." That tends to happen when you PRE-order a phone.
Take care
Gary
Thanks for the advice. It looked like I ran into a script reader in the first run. I will give it another try. If it still doesn't work I will tell them Verizon just called and I mean it LOL.

On the web pages for my order, it says "Processing", "Pending Shipment", and "Preorder Processing". It doesn't say "back-ordered". But maybe that's the term the customer support staff use.

I got the same info x2h but, i was also told 5000+ units have already arrived.
To clarify a bit, the order status for my Note 2 on the web page is "Preorder Processing". However when I called AT&T, the person said it's back ordered, meaning I will not get it on the November 9 date as previously announced.
So when will I get it? I asked.
"We will let you know".
Yeah right.
Don't give up hope. Keep following up on your order status via website. ATT customer service reps tend to make up things sometimes. Source - I'm an ex-att cust. service rep.
As horrible as it sounds, your forum members are right in telling you to rep shop (keep calling back to get the rep you want). ATT doesn't like this as it hogs up their queue, but sometimes it needs to be done to get the job done right.
Well heres the update. tried calling them two more times and I can't even get to a real person, after waiting forever. I am canceling it. Guess I will stick to my WM HD2 a little longer.

I pre-ordered over the phone on 11/5. Just checked my status and it shows shipped from Fort Worth, TX and will arrive by the 9th.
I ordered through premiere with a company discount if that makes any difference.
My phone is backordered also
Preordered 10/25
They originally stated shipping 11/06
The next person stated they ran out and it was a first come first serve basis. That was a lie. If you look at their own forum
on att's website, you will see people who ordered way after and their phone is shipping.
Now they state they will start shipping 11/09, and that just means they will start shipping more orders which doesn't guarantee mine.
They violated their own policy of "first come, first serve" as stated on their own site when you preorder.
AT&T customer service departments do not have integration at all. Their logistics execution is horrible.

I pre-ordered over the phone on 11/5. Just checked my status and it shows shipped from Fort Worth, TX and will arrive by the 9th.
I ordered through premiere with a company discount if that makes any difference.

I preordered 10/25 thru premiere with a company discount, and I am told mine is definitely backordered. Isn't that great.
Same for me, company discount, preordered on 10/25, and now it's backordered, so I canceled it.

Are you planning on purchasing in store on launch day? I would've asked for credit towards my future bills for the inconvenience.
I ordered early Nov and yesterday I was told the same thing about being backordered . I called and chatted about 10 times. The reps are completely clueless (I'm guessing its not their fault they just dont get good info). Well around 10pm my order went from processing to shipped and I will receive phone today (according to fedex tracking - i paid the $15 for overnight). I am happy now, but I was pissed all day yesterday. I need to get a life.
well here's the latest update again. I canceled my preorder online last night. this morning an email comes in that my cancel was "unsuccessful". and then another emails that says my phone has been shipped, with FedEx tracking number. it has just left the Texas wharehouse. Expected delivery Nov 9 by 4:40 pm.
I am going to return it and tell them to put it on backorder.
OK one last update. Took the advice of others and called AT&T one last time. And the result is surprising:

You mean to tell men you've been with ATT since 2004 and you haven't learned to not call their service and NEVER rely on their answers? Preorderd 10/25 and it got here 11/08 10am.
They are clueless and don't know any more than what their website tells them.
And to those in the thread that seem to think otherwise, November 6 was the *Estimated* ship date. Nowhere was that day written in stone.

So, I place my order on the 4th for Pixel XL 128g in black using Google financing option. Order was successful, so I thought. Never got a confirmation email or anything. After submitting the page landed on order history with "Canceled" in the header. Login to sysnchrony and all my available credit is gone and there is a pending payment for the amount of the whole order. Fast fw to today, still same pending amount..a rep at google finance tell me that it shows approved and I should contact google store to get shipment info and what not.
Google store has no history of my order and keep insisting I used the wrong email to place the order haha wtf ever. They can't find any damn trace of it. No trace of it in my order history either. So guess I'm not getting the Pixel!!
I went through the same thing....Google finance still says it's pending. Google doesn't show anything.

Were you able to reorder? Even if I ever get to reorder looks like they are out of stock for XL anyways.
Not with Google finance. I went ahead and just put it on my credit card. I tried Google finance again yesterday and it was declined because of the pending charge.
Gotcha. I'm going do the same once the XL is back to stock.
Got email from Google explaining that they had some technical difficulties on some orders, mine being one. Anyways, got $100 off promo code for my reorder when its back in stock.

I used the chat feature on the Google store. The chat agent then scheduled a call back to me from a higher level. When they called, their number didn't even show on phone. I called them back from the help feature chat or call. Don't remember the number off hand though.

Return it go a few days without a phone.
I was a victim of this as well. I called and was told that if I were to cancel my new XL 128gb pre-order and reorder with the promo code, I would have to wait likely another month before I receive the phone. I decided against it, but the rep was cool and added a ton of notes to my account so when I activate it, ill get some sort of credit towards my Fi account to compensate. He also confirmed that my device would def ship on the 21st.
My order was cancelled and the Google store is saying due to financial issues on my end but, the full amount was removed from my bank account (I purchased using the pay now option using my bank card which I used to purchase the Nexus 6 and 6P) . Google is still trying to tell me that my bank didnt approve the purchase but, you can clearly see the purchase amount has been paid to "Purchase authorization Google Devices" and yet, Im being told a different story from the Google support team. Cant ask for a supervisor bc they just tell you that they can only escalate the issue and have someone get back to me. I definitely want some sort of credit or something given I have been a Google faithful for years and have been on the Fi network for a year now too....

yeah, i havent had any response at all. And I have sent multiple emails w/screenshots of my acct information showing the purchase of the "Google Devices" in my acct balance history. It even has my monthly payment to project Fi right above that so called "declined purchase" . So they somehow can automatically take payment for my Fi service, send me my Nexus 6P and my Fi sim cards not to mention my Google cardboard etc.... several things have been purchased through the same acct with NO issues, now all the sudden Im having a bunch of problems... be serious Google....
Ive sent in 2 note 7's almost a month and a half ago to samsung, first i called them they sent me a box within a box within a box within a box times 2, sent them to texas they got them 3 days later said my check for 2 note 7's are being processed the check should get there no later than the 21st of OCT. well as time came no check showed up. called samsung again to see the status of it and they said "well we just started giving paper refunds a week ago yours has been processed but theres no ETA. Mind you i am on a cheap phone waiting for this check so i can buy a google pixel xl outright. has anyone in the same boat as me recieved their refund yet or are they just blowin smoke up my ass???
This whole process has been smoke blowing you know where.... Whoever thought of treating their most loyal customers this way should be fired! I have had multiple (for family members TOO) Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now note7. They should refund us to collect the phones. Then give us a temp s7 edge that we can exchange for the note 8 for no more than half price or something along those lines. THIS IS THE ONLY REASONABLE SOLUTION!!!! Even then we have to wait for our Ferrari for unknown time to get "out of the repair shop" so that aspect might be worth the $100 customer service credit but i lean to "not enough samsung" on that one too.
The google pixel is looking better and better. If google was smart they would make their version of the note 7 asap and release it because they will get all of samsungs currently pissed off customers.

Still waiting from Oct 24th. Was told I would receive check end of this week still no check
Has ANYONE received a check back from Samsung? I am now over a month and this is ridiculous!
Anyone get there check yet? I sent in Quite a few Note 7 the same way in a box they sent me to ship to Texas, which is where I reside as well. I have received no check yet for any of them. It has been over 2 weeks on the first 5 I sent to them for a refund in the form of a check. I just wanted to see if anyone has got paid back yet. Please keep everyone updated if you do get your check so the rest of us have high hopes. Lol

No check yet, but a lot of us did receive an email stating that the check is coming via UPS but yet I have no tracking number and STILL no check... They need to quit bull****tin!
I wonder why they would not send a tracking number if it's coming UPS? I'm am very disappointed in the way they are handling these returns. It seems very unorganized.
Tl; dr:
Should've just saved yourselves what seems to be never ending stress and kept your Note 7's.
Oh well, we live and learn…
That is a nice thought and all, but you aren't letting us... thanks phone company!!!! =(

I was just told today that they are not coming UPS and instead they are coming via the post office ( snail mail ). I was told several times before this that the checks would be sent out via UPS overnight, but apparently that was a lie too... Agent told me that if I did not receive the check by next week Tuesday that I should call back in and they would re-process the check, whatever that means?
Same old story

It's been about 22 business days since they have received my phone and I've called multiple times. If I don't get it by X date call back so I have, this time it was on a Sunday and I spoke to someone claiming he was 2 stories above the refund team but would solve all my problems by emailing the manager of that floor which should contact me back within 72hrs. It's now five days later no call, no check, and no reason to call them again since you never can get a real answer for where's my check? I'm done calling them hopefully a fellow xda member will post when they receive their's. If a class action lawsuit over this refund check situation I will definitely be signing up. Stuck using my son's BLU phone for the past month.

I just don't understand how they can send a check for about a thousand dollars right through the mail and NOT have some type of tracking number!!?? It's CRAZY to me.... On top of that, they had NO record of the tracking number for the Note 7 that I sent to Stericycle, so therefore they could not give me any info on that either. This has got to be the WORST customer service I have dealt with in quite some time! I will post my check as soon as it comes so that others know I received it. Take care and good luck...

Thanks bro, I'm wondering if Stericycle was the right choice for this. The lack of information between them and Samsung is ridiculous. I also had to provide my tracking number to Sammy and they put it in my notes. You would think it would be as simple as open, check imei, forward approved list to Sammy and put check in the mail. Even if my check was late but I had the ability to check the status of my return on a simple website, I wouldn't be as aggravated over it. The lack of answers after I send off a $900 phone in good faith has swayed me from buying anther product from them.
Maybe Stericycle is just overwhelmed by the amount of N7s coming in that it's taking them a week to even open the box once they receive it. But come on Samsung make a statement and tell your customers whats really going on.

LMAO !! You know I am so pissed that I decided to call in AGAIN just now. So now I am told by a supervisor that the checks are indeed being sent via UPS and NOT USPS like I was told on my last call (yesterday). And I have a service called "UPS My Choice" , which is a service that immediately notifies me if anyone has addressed a package to me and when that specific package is scheduled to be delivered. Guess what? There are NO packages scheduled to be delivered to me, so that means that the check has not even been sent out of their building yet. So the email that everyone received on Tuesday letting them know that the checks are on their way and will take 2-3 business days to arrive, was BULL****!! Just one more lie to the MANY lies they have already told us... I hate Samsung SOOOOOO much right now!
Yup got mychoice email for the return box, nothing for a check. I'd be happy to get the bs email. What did it say?
