Just got off the phone with Fedex. They have a package coming to me that is supposed to arrive 10/20.

The freeipods site still lists me as STV.

Me Too. I'm 9/8. I was actually expecting mine around halloween when I first placed my order. We shall see about that.

matpic. Did the track by reference show the one coming to your zip code? I'd assume so. I'm an STV 8/24 and still not showing anything with track by reference - discouraging. But it just increases the story I'll have to tell to my grandchildren...

It is showing up on a reference seach using "M9282LL/A" and my zip code.

It was shipped today from Shanghai. Estimated Delivery is the 20th.

Here is what is in the tracking info

Oct 14, 2004
440 PM Package data transmitted to FedEx
149 PM Left origin SHANGHAI CN
110 PM Picked up SHANGHAI CN

if u get unique match not found should i call up and find out whats coming to my house ?

mapStuart

14-10-2004 12:28:19

If you get a unique match not found its possible to find the different ones as long as they were shipped on different dates. To do so you need to increment the date up by one, until you either only get one match or "No Match Found" - if no match found then they were shipped on the same day and you can't find out the individual tracking numbers. However, if you do get one then you'll have that one's tracking number and date shipped. Then subtract 16 from that date and search on that new date and you should get the other one as well...

mapStuart

14-10-2004 12:29:32

of course, this is assuming there are only two shipments heading to your zip - if there's more than 2, then you might be able to find the first and last one (as long as they're unique shipping dates from the others), but there could potentially be some in the middle you won't be able to track.

I got "Unique match not found" on FedEx when I track by reference. So I called them up and tried to get some information out of them and they say that nothing is coming to my address, name, or even my ZIP code for that matter. Is this a bunch of crap? How can I get "Unique match not found" if there is no shipments coming to my ZIP code? Now I really do think that they're lying to me...

gljvd

14-10-2004 12:35:55

anyone care to help me out with this , my zip is 07604 but I'm having trouble getting down past no unique match found . I'm trying diffrent dates but nothing is changing

mapStuart

14-10-2004 12:49:44

gljvd - sorry man, no luck. Looks like 2 or more were shipped on the 12th. Not much way to find out their unique tracking numbers since they were on the same date (unless you call FedEx).

I'm getting a unique match found...how would I go about findout it's mine...I called a fedex number from their website but I couldn't get past the automated service...please help I may have shipped!

matpic

14-10-2004 13:27:55

During automated service, simply say "Rep" -- then you'll get to talk to a real person.

OMG. YOU SHIPPED?!

blah fuck. nothing to my zip code.

14-10-2004 14:15:21

The rep said they couldn't look up my package without a tracking number. Just using my address wouldn't work. I didn't know the ref number off the top of my head so couldn't ask her about that way either. Dumb wench.

-inspecta, 8/13

Link -- don't worry you'll be any day now.... they are catching up.

They aren't catching up in a very crazy chaotic way, but they are catching up nonetheless...

matpic matpic matpic matpic

i think i shipped too! although i'm still stv, apparently.

i just used alternate ref. checking on fedex to see my zip code like on 10/27 or whatever.. since i think it says.. "within 15 days"

and i get a match!

i used to not get a match, whereas when i'd leave the date a lone (i think meaning it'd be "TODAY'S" date) it'd say unique match not found. which i think was an ipod or two that have already been shipped and that weren't mine. or something. D W

i'm too scared to call fedex tho
b/c i d on't want to find out that it might not be mine >_<;

matpic

14-10-2004 16:28:04

DarkTemplar.

Just do it! Call them up. I was scared too -- didn't want the dissapointment but I was so thrilled to find out it was actually shipped!

Oh, by the way they are already in Alaska! Looks like they might even be here by tomorrow! Monday at the latest!

YEAH!!!

[quote40256344a7="Lunarpancake"]anyone got work about any Septembers being shipped?.... im 9/8[/quote40256344a7]

Yeah, at least one 9/8 has shipped.

However, many 8's still haven't shipped. I'm a 9/1 that's not shipped. In other words, you may get treated like you're an 8 that's coming up and will get it soon, or you may get treated like someone who will order next month and may still have a long wait. They say they will have all 8 and 9 orders resolved after next week, but I'm skeptical.

I called fedex last night and they were like "you have packages coming from shangai... just shipped today... delivery on the 20th"

I'm not even shitting you one day later it is on the truck for delivery. Fedex kicks the ass, always.

I'm stoked.

TheStarr

15-10-2004 11:14:25

and then with skill and precision, i missed the fedex man by 4 minutes.

STV 8/13

i would just like to briefly comment on how crazy it is to me that these things go through Alaska. Living in Alaska (as I did at one point) one would never imagine that the happiness of so many people was sitting at the airport.

15-10-2004 12:07:53

Hello Friends.

I've recieved my Ipod. I'm holding it in my hands right now.

I can't believe how fast FEDEX moves.

Anyway, I'll post some pics tonight.

I'm leaving this forum forever now. But y'all can catch me in the flatscreen one -- thats my next project....

how can u tell the address a package is coming to if u looked it up by refer. #. I see that there is a package coming to my zip code on the 20th but i dunno if its mine.

AngryBrotha

15-10-2004 12:34:36

I checked my zip code and there was a package attempted to be delivered but no one was home. I hope that was my ipod!
