Nexus 7 Shipping Dates for Canada
While I am eagerly awaiting my Nexus 7 shipping directly from Google, there is still no 100% confirmed shipping date from them (1-2 weeks). There are three retailers in Canada that are also selling the Nexus 7 and their shipping/arrival dates are all online.
Staples - July 23rd
Future Shop - August 10th
Best Buy - August 10th
All three of these Canadian retailers offer free shipping plus most locations should have some stock available in the stores. It should be noted that all three locations are only offering the 16GB model for $259. While this is the same price that Google is selling it for on their website, you do not have the option to purchase the 8GB model ($209) and you also don't get the "$25 of credit to spend in the Play store, as well as some great free content ...". Then again Google is charging $20 for shipping, so all you're really saving is $5. I just wanted the 8GB model so Google was the only option for me anyways.
