shipping takes about two days to the US east coast, on average, i did a check of all the shipments coming here from shanghai. also, i got a question... now with the new 'bursts of shipment'... how long can we expect the time to go from STV to Shipped?

As xyclonez said, they're pulling names out of a hat so it's not possible to know that

You're right, but there's a rumor that for those who switched to the hpods, the shipment leaves Shangai on boats that sail south than west around India and Africa, then cross the Atlantic and reach the East Coast after a 23 days 1/2 journey (if not attacked by stv pirates). But it's just a rumor.

thanks guys,

I'm a 10/13 svt and new to the forum so I figured I'd better start out with a solid sense of humor...

And yet another STV for 10/13... so we should get our iPods sometime before Thanksgiving, based on the current status of who is being shipped now.

Well, 10/13 is also the day I placed my order, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. At least I didn't wait to become STV. But I guess too that it's everyone's case now. No?

Wow. that is cool. One day to go through approval, processing and then land STV is fast.

I spent 2 days in approval... 7 days in processing and now get to see how long STV will be. Like I've said in previous posts, a couple of days before Thanksgiving would be perfect for me. Would love to take it with me out of town for the turkey day weekend.

Sorry, I didn't take into account the approval of my referrals that took two days. Once I was done with that though and filled out all the shipping information, I became STV instantly. I've never seen a screen that said 'processing', not for a minute.

I'd like to hear from other people who just got their referrals approved. I'm wondering if this has just become a general rule (no more processing) or if processing is just displayed until an 'stv day' arrives for everyone who's been waiting. That would mean that really they're not processing anything and that I just happened to order on one of those lucky days. Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm still new to the whole thing.

That would certainly be cool. It sounds like they are getting more efficient there at Gratis.

Sup fellas. First post here on the forums for me. I am also a 10/13 stv. The free ipod by turkey day would be suh-weet! I think if that happened, I would have to celebrate by putting my Adam Sandler "Turkey Song" up on there. "love to eat turkey..."
