This is a win for the popular voice of India !!!
Two weeks after comboupdates (Cheated.... by Nestle and Google, ditches on the promise of first 1000 to get Nexus 2013 in India...gives Nexus 7 2012 1B032A) broke the story of how Nestle reneged on the promise of delivering Nexus 7 2013 to the Indian winners just like Google and Hershey did in the United States, Canada and other countries, Kitkat today did a about turn and announced that all winners including those who have already received the Nexus 7 2012 will be given the latest version of the tablet. This was the reply posted on Kitkat India Facebook page
We are delighted to announce that winners of ‘Android Kit Kat promotion’ will receive the new 2013 Nexus 7 tablet. If you have received an earlier version of the device, we will contact you separately to get it replaced. The delivery schedule for the new dispatches as well as the procedure to be followed for replacement will be communicated shortly.
Days of protest over here, including forming a group on Facebook of which I am admin, and reporting on various blogs, Indian and international has borne fruit. At the helm of the protests were winners like me whom I wish to personally thank through this post.
1.Manu Presannakumar
2.Emil Paul
3.Dev Vaikul
4.Vishal Vodro
5. Naveen Shetty
6. Dhairyadev Arora,
7. And lots of people including 134 members of the FB group including Anon and Unknown.

DeleteGreat job Vijay. Should I keep the tab sealed till I get the N7 13?
ReplyDeleteThanks bro, yep keept it sealed and give it to the courier guy who will take it back and give you the 2013 model
DeleteVijay you got it today so it might take more than a week to receive the new one so the winners upto oct might get the old model so we wait for Dhairyadev Arora and Manu Presannakumar to get their tab
ReplyDeleteI got my N7 2012 last Friday and already opened it and installed the apps.

Just reset your old nexus 7 to factory settings and pack everything to the box. nestle or agency will soon contact you on the procedure about replacement and new delivery of your nexus 7 (2013) !!

ReplyDeletereceived at 20 dec
I have recieved my parcel today, i have not yet opened it, so i din't know its an 2012 or 2013 version.
ReplyDeleteAnon congrats go on open it, its Nexus 7 2013. I received communique from Nestle that they have indeed started dispatching 2013 models. The ones who have already received 2012 models will have to wait a little longer.
DeleteAlso kindly post the date on which you won here so everybody could get information. :)
Thank u Vijay. I have won on 24/10/13.
DeleteDidn't you open the parcel yet? I won on 29/10/13 hope will get soon.
DeleteThrough which courier service they ship the tablet? Did they inform you the tracking details before dispatching? I didn't send NDC so there might be a different procedure I suppose.
DeleteYes Vijay you'r right i have recd an Nexus 2013.
ReplyDeleteYes some winners have started getting Nestle's first shipment of the Nexus 7 (2013) prizes starting Monday 23-DEC-2013. It looks like, Nestle is dispatching new tabs to winners who were not sent any old tab earlier.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the winners who had received old tab will have to wait a little bit in receiving the new tab and also replacement of the old tab.
Manu through which couier they r dispatching prizes what indentity we have to show
ReplyDeleteThey are delivering it through Overnite Express Couriers and keep anything handy, they dont ask for identification but be ready in any case
DeleteWhat if NDC is pending. Do they mail tracking details?
Deleteyes they are sending through OVERNITE EXPRESS courier next-day delivery package.
ReplyDelete@harisha: GroupM can give you POD/AWB no if you call them and ask. Otherwise right now they are not sending those nos to winners before dispatch.
Thank you.
DeleteGuys,
ReplyDeleteToday i have got a call from GroupM (Mob: 9555407784), asking for the shipment address to be sent via SMS to them. I am assuming Nexus will reach me by next Monday. :d
FYI I have won the contest on 10th Nov
oh no i won on November 9th don't know what happened :-( still haven't received any calls :-(
DeleteI won on Oct 29 but yet to receive the tablet. Yesterday I called GroupM, they told me that the prizes are being dispatched according to the audit clearance list, not according to the winning date!
DeleteI received email from kitkat on 20 dec that new tabs will be given within next four weeks when I will get the tab I also received audit cleared msg on 4th dec winning date 13th nov when did you received the audit cleared msg

ReplyDeletehi.
ReplyDeleteI won the capitation on 7-11-13. I am from a village in karnataka. I am still waiting for my prize. a month ago they called me and confirmed my address. after a week on 9-1-2014 I got an email saying
dear winner
we would like to inform you that your residing area will come under No service area by our courier service so we are trying to get the tab delivered to you personally and this would be done in next 2-3 weeks.
it's been four weeks since the email, still no sign of a tablet. what could be the reason? please help.
Anon dont worry, Nestle is shipping the Nexus 2013 via Speed Post to the No Service Areas. They have said that the delivery will happen in 2 to 3 weeks. I have a list of NSA winners and will make a post regarding the same.
DeleteThank you for the support sir. you are doing a great job. I hope they will not neglect people living in villages.
