I guess this would be a good place to mention to anyone who wants to buy hardware directly from Google: Create a separate account and purchase the device through it, that way if you have to do a charge-back because Google's customer service sucks, you can do so without them banning your main account. (This is not a victim-blame, just a suggestion on how to avoid becoming a victim. Google is definitely in the wrong when it comes to this.)
