Anyone have any idea how long it takes to go STV for freephotoipods? I've been processing for 7 business days now...

I got this reply from gratis. I think it's funny how theyh call themselves small guys. Yes, compared to walmart and best buy they are small guys. But I can think of a gazillion companies that are small guys compared to those giants. Anyways, just thought I'd pass along the news.

I am not sure exactly when your iPod photo will be shipped. We are working on fulfilling our next set of orders as we speak. We are sorry for these delays but sometimes it is a bit harder to procure these items than it may seem. When you are a little guy in the wholesaling world, no one cares about you. Thats why Walmart and Best Buy have everything you need when you need it. They promise to buy tens of thousands of units at a time and that gives them preferential treatment. Rest assured, your account has been approved and you will be receiving your free item as soon as we get it through our doors. We thank you for your continued patience in this matter.

Keep in mind, the CSR said little guys in the wholesaling world. Relative to others in the market for bulk purchases of goods, we are tiny.

Yeah I guess you're right Jake. I dunno it just seems like $8 million dollars of shipped out items over how many ever years gratis have been in existence doesn't really equate to a small guy. Guess I'm wrong (. It's really awesome that you're helping out here though and keep up the great work.

Hey everyone just a question/update. On my 11th business day (15th normal day) I checked my status for my freephotoipod and viola...
Order History
Order # Site Date/Time Status
Order # 48li3lili freephotoiPods.com 5/10/2005 54200 PM Sent to Vendor, Waiting on Product
they changed my status at Order # 48li3lili - 5/25/2005 112200 AM.
Now for the question. What are the odds of me recieving my ipod on next wednesday or before? I'm leaving to spain on thursday. If i don't get it I can just borrow my brother's 40 GB ipod, but i'd rather have my cool nifty photo ipod for spain. Let me know what you all think. And I hope everyone else on this post went STV too.

DHL just tried to deliver a 1 pound package to my house. I'm not expecting anything other than my photoipod. Could this be it???

27-05-2005 17:52:57
hey phillbus did you figure out if it was the ipod photo that DHL tried to deliver?
Phillbis
27-05-2005 18:01:55
Yes!!! I wnet to DHL after work and picked up the package. It was 2 pounds and the package was smaller than I though it would be. But I opened it and it was my photo ipod. I was STV on the 25th and they shipped the IPOD on the 26th. Got it today.
they moved fast on this one!!

Most of us will definitely have our stuff by Tuesday (I dont think DHL is delivering on Monday because of the Holiday).
Can't wait for the iPod D

is anyone able to see the shipping status on DHL.com yet?

27-05-2005 22:10:47
I got nothin'. But I bet I would if DHL would let us move the delivery date range past today. Which IMO, has got to be the dumbest thing ever...why would you want to look up a tracking number for something that's already been delivered or is going to be delivered today? rolls eyes

My status never changed. My wife called me at work and said that DHL left a note on the door. I called DHL and toild them I would pick up the package. DHL said the box was realy small and only weighed 1 pound. It actually weighed 2 pounds.
The Photoipod is very cool. Not much bigeer than the 4G 20GB. I like how it displays the album art work or the song ypu're playing.

Woo-hoo! My tracking information shows up now and it's scheduled to be delivered today (5/31)! It was shipped out on the 26th from E-Fulfillment in Grawn, MI using 2-day service to the Los Angeles area.
Edit And my status on freephotoipods still shows STV.

31-05-2005 08:20:24
yeah i'm still STV but i can see my status. It says it's with the delivery courier as of 810 AM. They shipped this out REAL fast. Actually if DHL was open on Saturday I could've gone to pick it up cus it was already there. Great job gratis.....COME ON DELIVERY COURIER.

06-06-2005 13:48:34
The wait is the hardest part,I've been processing since 6/1,I think the next stv might be around june 20th,since it seems like Gratis ships out sometime around the end of each month.
