Hi, quick update. my account went from processing to "sent to vendor, waiting on product" today.


So does that mean they're backordered? Can someone a little more experienced help me figure out that this means please?

Thanks,

We have placed your order, but are most likely waiting for inventory to arrive before we can ship it out.

^^^^^ from the "what does this mean" button

Thanks "ThatGuy"

I actually read that button, but thought maybe someone here could elaborate.

im stv too. ^_^

it'll take a couple of days, even if it says on stv, rather than shipped. like, i've had my photo ipod for a while and it still says stv for that one. haha

you can check if dhl shipped it by taking the order number and entering that into the DHL website under track by ref.

i just need 1 more green on freeipods. I am assuming that at least one of my 57 yellows has completed an offer that just takes awhile to credit so hopefully i am already done and will get to be in your shoes around the time of the next shipment.

thats a nice way to introduce yourself...the last batch of ipods that went out last week were STV on monday and shipped on tuesday...but i have read that gratis isnt the greatest on updating stv to shipped......so its not at all impossible to get it by now

hovigga

14-04-2005 13:07:38

the big thing is if your tracking number works on dhl-usa.com>track by reference. And mine doesnt yet. (

jhennson

damn why the harsh words....were all here for the same reason so lets all get along....

On the other hand...my GF is waiting for her last ref to go green, hopefully today and she can request to be approved....

gordyrock

14-04-2005 21:09:22

Hey guys,

Just checked the DHL.com site and my order is showing up! Track, then track by reference. Use your freeipods.com order number. Looks like we'll have our iPods on Monday?!?

I only live a little bit away from the warehouse so looks like I luckes out! I wont be there though, they will most likely drop it off though since im in a rural area )

oasisfan

15-04-2005 03:55:55

Yes! Mine is showing up on DHL as well. Supposed to be here Tuesday. hope it's sooner! )

I'm definitely going to trade up for the 30GB. I don't really have a need to store photos on it, but it would be nice for it to be in color...and I have so many MP3s, I need the extra space!

Is it really about a 22 difference if you trade in our 20gb ipods for a 30gb photoipod?? How much is the educational discount? 10%?
Does the educational discount apply to apple ipod official reseller stores like best buy or circuit city???


That's sounds pretty good but the photoipod is a bit thicker than a regular ipod... well see...

Getting mine on monday as well!!!
Another question. I live in virginia beach, virginia. Do yall think it will be here tomorrow and could i be able to pick it up myself?!!? Damn I'm just really hyped about getting my first free item!!!

oasisfan

18-04-2005 07:15:49

Ack! My estimated delivery is the 20th, but my tracking says it's with a courier right now! And no one is home (

Maybe I can go to DHL tonight & pick it up, swap it at Apple before the mall closes & be able to use my new 30GB tonight!

Here's hoping.

Also, I'm planning to say it was a gift (technically true!), that I'd like the 30Gb, and to use my student discount. Anyone see any problems with this? I'm not going to call first...I think it'll seem less sketch if I just show up.

Blink0731

ThatGuy

18-04-2005 09:20:34

Est. delivery for me is the 19th. Still says departing origin, I worked a half day today hoping to be here if it comes, and I'm off tomorrow, so no worries there. I do have a few things in the morning, but my father works 3rd so he said he'll stay up til I get home. I'm also gonna print my trackin slip out again, and hang it on the door.

dug1200

18-04-2005 09:41:10

my original day was today, but then it changed to the 19th like many others who were pushed back...but when i checked today they already made an attempt but no one was home...so i will be picking it up today after work and hopefully stopping by and getting a 30g
