Nexus 7 Shortage Ends as Google Promises to Ship All Orders Next Week

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has quickly weathered the tablet shortage storm that threatened to plague its highly anticipated device.

Tablet users are very familiar with the massive shortages that can occur when Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) releases a new iPad.

According to Google Play support page (via The Verge), all standalone Nexus 7 8GB orders have shipped. The company has also shipped all Nexus 7 16GB orders placed through July 11. Best of all, Google upgraded those orders to overnight shipping.

Consumers who ordered a Nexus 7 16GB after July 11 should receive their tablet by the end of next week, at which point Google plans to ship the devices with overnight shipping.

However, "If you ordered your tablet with a case, charger or Nexus Q, your Nexus 7 will ship this week with overnight shipping, in some cases ahead of the rest of your order," Google explained. "But don't worry, the rest of your order will be on its way soon."

Google has also shipped all Nexus 7 8GB orders in Canada, however, the 16GB model will not ship for another week or two.

In the United Kingdom, Google said that all 8GB tablets will ship by July 20. Similarly, consumers who ordered the 16GB edition should expect it to be shipped by June 30. Those who ordered the device after that will have to wait until next week for the tablet to ship.

Finally, Google said that all orders (for both the 8GB and 16GB model) should arrive in three to five days.
