Google: Your Nexus 7 will ship this week or next
I can't remember being as anxious to receive a new gadget as I am to get my Nexus 7 tablet. Word has started hitting the social networks that some are receiving their Nexus 7 already, while others are hearing nothing.
I just received this welcome news from Google about my shipment:
Hello,
We wanted to send you an update on your Nexus 7 pre-order. We’ve had incredible demand for the new tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. If you placed your order by July 11, it will ship this week and we’ve upgraded to overnight shipping so it arrives sooner. Orders placed after July 11, will ship next week with overnight shipping.
If you’d like more detailed information on device shipments, please reference our online Help Center http://support.google.com/
Thanks for your patience. Your Nexus 7 will be on its way soon.

From the Google site referenced above, here's how order fulfillment will go for other countries:
