A Mini Mac shipment went out about a week and a half ago, so I thought I'd start this new thread for people hoping to catch the next wave.
I originally submitted my Mini Mac a long time ago, but two refs were denied and I just got around to finishing it. I submitted for approval on Thursday, May 19th. Anyone have recent experience with how long this takes?

I submited mine last week as well; around the 18th I believe. I guess we can wait around together.

I'll check as soon as I got home, but congrats on your first one being ordered. probably a few weeks before the next STV, i believe there was one about 1.5 weeks ago, but from what I've read on here, they go STV and arrive just a few days later!

Alright! Approved and order placed! Looks like last STV was 5/11 so we shouldn't have to wait more than a week or so for the next hopefully. 2 tops i guess.

How do you check when the last STV was? Are they shipping out the Minis normally now? Like I remember reading that it took a long time.

i just checked the past posts, and a bunch of people posted that they were stv on the 11th, and then a bunch posted a few days later that they had received them.
chrisFWC
25-05-2005 09:40:47
So there are specific days when they (Gratis) send all of their orders over to the vendor? I wonder what the duration is between those days?
I just went STV today on freeminimacs.

wow, that was fast. I'll have to check when I get home.
Try going to DHL and track by your reference number (aka your order number on your order status page)
put it in as the Shippers reference, and then put in your zip code and you can track your package if DHL has put it in the system already.
hehehhehe

Damnit I just requested approval today...

I was STV yesterday as well, but its not showing up in DHL yet.

Is that for sure who they use to ship?

Ya they use dhl for shipping. I'm hoping minimac will arrive by early next week at the latest, but that may be wishful thinking. I still can't believe that we went stv so quickly! I was anticipating at least 1-2 weeks wait.
[quote077469a8a8="willietanner"]wow, that was fast. I'll have to check when I get home.

I got my Mini Mac today.
The reference isn't filled out in my tracking on the website.
It's in the shipping label though.

Does anybody know how they would deliver for apartments? Cause neither my wife or myself are home during the day to sign for it. Has anybody had "free stuff" delivered to their apartment?

What do you mean, "schedule a pickup"? Like schedule a time for them to come drop it off? Or schedule a time to go pick it up somewhere. If so, where?

If I were you I would just call DHL to find out what your options are. I'm sure they have a place you can pick your package up from.
Try calling them at 1-800-225-5345

My wife just called me to let me know that they tried to deliver something this morning but no one was home. I wonder which one it was; my Mini or my DS...
hehehhehe
31-05-2005 11:17:28
I just submitted for approval last Thursday and I am already approved (took 2 business days). Hope I don't have to wait long for STV...

awesome, i got mine this morning but i'm sad to say it doesn't look like it has tiger included. I haven't booted it up yet, but it came with panther disks, so i guess i'll just have to go buy it
Let me know if any of you got your mini with tiger included
chrisFWC
31-05-2005 14:18:08
I'm not expecting Tiger in mine. I'll know tonight.
