My google experience
I pre ordered the google nexus 7 on the day the went on sale. One week after they started shipping i sent google a email asking them when mine would ship. I was told within a week. Two weeks later i call them to see what is up. As at this point my account was charged for the device. They tell me shipping any day. Two days later i see on my wallet account as google nexus 16 gb ORDER CANCELED BY SELLER.
So i call google back and ask what is up. they said it was a computer issue. And that i would have to reorder. At this time they where backorderd for up to 4-6 weeks on the 8 gb . OUT OF STOCK ON 16. So i ordered the 8 gb version. After a week i received it. Two weeks later i start seeing lines on the screen when you hold it on the left side of the screen as well as the screen moving.
I CALL GOOGLE BACK . they tell me that I can send it back and DO A advance replacmeent exchange. I tell them im not having my money put on hold. I will send it back in a few weeks and just reorder another device when they receive it.
So i decided to just order the device and send this back into them when i receive the new device. .
Its now the end of Aug the new device comes in the mail . It comes in with a CRACKED SCREEN . SO not 30 minutes after usp drops the device off i call GOOGLE YET AGAIN. TO GET A RMA for the brand new replacement device. I GET THAT JUST FINE.Send google this device that i only had for 30 minutes in my posession. still at this time holding on the original device as its still working . you just cant push on the left side of screen. GOOGLE Recieved the device on the 5th of september. Since then i have had several phone calls and exchange of emails. Being told that the device i sent them back was the original device and they WOULD NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR REPLACE THE DEVICE. STATING THAT i would have to prove what device i sent in. They have it so i have no way of doing so . Other then they can see what device is being used and connected to my google wallet. They understand and can see this so im told. But still refuse to help me in any way. So now today on 9/27 I contact them for the last time and demand i get a RMA to send the original device back to them as proof that it was not the one they keep saying they have. SO NOW GOOGLE HAS ALL OF MY MONEY BOTH OF MY DEVICES . AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME AS A CUSTOMER :(:(

I'm sorry about your adverse experience with Google CS, I truly am! But, maybe you should read the advice in your signature. I mean, you have told your story in pretty much every thread in the General/Question sections.

Hopefully everything will work out to your satisfaction. Good luck to you.

You've already made posts here saying that the screen on that particular nexus didn't come cracked, but it somehow ~crumbled~ under your thumb when you were using it. Remember ?

I had it in my hand about 30 minutes. checking it out letting google do its thing before unlocking it.No screen lift or movement at all on the left side.. so im thinking great.. So then im holding the tablet in my left hand with fingers behind the device thumb in the front right below the home key . I kinda grip Not pushing hard and the screen crumbles under mt thumb.. It looks as thou i thru a brick thru it ..
Also, do you see anyone else here typing in caps? .. don't you think there's a reason for that?

I think you mean Google could NOT care less about you. If they, as you say, could care less about you, then their disregard for you is yet to plunge to greater depths.

This has nothing to do with the device breaking or working perfectly.. This is about there whole shopping refund situation..As far as those with the screen cracking . Google and asus knows this is a issue in certain situations. Asus sent me a email re-guarding the screen crack on my tablet and explained there was a metal shaving under the glass.
The issue is about them tying to say i sent them back the wrong tablet . a 8 gb version and trying to claim a refund on 16 gb version.. As far as spaming every post . this is the first time i posted about a refund issues. First time i posted about GOOGLE Outright telling me NO WE are not issuing a refund and we WILL NOT send you the device back or replace it...

I know this really does not belong on a development forum. But there are so many others as well that do not belong here.I can see how people who have had a perfect experience with google will just look over this thread or spam it as i see several have done. My whole experience with buying this device has been one hassle after another.Something you will not get from say Amazon.
Yes i created this thread to blow off some steam and also because i know Google is reading this Forum.

People have a right to know what Could happen to them... Thats all..

so i will say one more time . there is no issue with how the device was damaged . the issue is them claiming im trying to steal from them.
I do not think its google its the google Device store and there policy.There are many post all over about issues this is not the first...

Erica I suggest you buy an Ipad next time.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Why a ipad .. the issue is with the google play devices store . Not Android or google development . Sometimes its not what you buy something but where you buy it that can damage the experience.. Things will break issues will come up. Its how a company handles them that count.. Thanks for the advice thou.

Thanks . yes i know we all get carried away over a issue we feel so strongly to make known . But this is not something i have been posting in every thread . On the threads of similar issues with Google Device Customers. People have a right to know. I had to send them back a Perfect working device to prove to them they did not have it. I think people have a right to know

Thanks again..
