I just got word that my digital camera shipped today via DHL, and I noticed two things

1) The reference number is NOT the order number from freedigitalcameras...it's a much larger number

2) The shipper is not located at 49637 (Grawn, MI).

It is now liP C CONNECTION SERVICES in Wilmington, OH 45177

Anyways, WOOHOO for free camera )

You weren't shipped yesterday right? So there is hope I am (will be) shipped, but my status isn't changed yet.
Congrats!

What reference number did you use to track it then? Where did you find this "much larger" number?

Ok, when I checked my freedigitalcameras status, I was shipped with a tracking number. When I looked up that info on DHL's site (track by number) it brought up all the shipping info, and in that information, they always also tell you the reference number.

From there, if you try looking for your shipment the old way (track by reference) you can't get it to come up using the order number issued by Gratis...only that larger reference number that DHL has on the site.

Hopefully that makes sense )

CORRECTION

It does appear that this trick still works for freeipods.com

I'm not sure about some of the others I haven't mentioned

Thie might only affect the Sony t7. New camera, new vendor, different internal reference number?

Mine came yesterday. D

Strange...maybe it's a location thing?

Ive noticed that if you just click on your order # on the status page it brings you to a screen that has the tracking # on it.

Really simple with gratis just click the order # and youll have the link to all the info you need.

Note these are the actual tracking #'s and should be copied and pasted when brought to the shipping companys home page.

Jake if your reading this I think you should have the gratis folks include this information in the status page.
