Were you issued a new tracking # this morning? You can find out by tracking via reference number. If you get a "Unique Match not Found", change the date to Nov. 3.

Is that a yes? I'm just wondering, because there was one sent to my Zip (not me, unfortunately) yesterday that got the dreaded .CHOPurl==http://=http:///url error, and this morning, there is another package coming to my zip. I'm just wondering if that's the new tracking # for yesterday's package or not... the only reason I don't want to call, is because I did yesterday morning and I don't want to piss them off lol
I did that and found one that looks like mine! Thanks for the tip.

fyi, just checked with fedex, since changing the ship date to nov 3 shows one going to my zip code. fedex hasnt processed the shipment entirely into the system yet. they said if i check later on today they should have more precise info on ship-to address

Okay, thanks.. since you got a new tracking #, that means that the new one for my zip is most likely for that other lucky bastard in my city..

I think I have you beat.. this is the 4TH iPod in the last month to come to my zip that isn't mine. I live in a town of 10,000 - and that drops to 7,000 when college isn't in session.

Did you ask them directly using the number you found? I.e. "I have this tracking number, can you please check if it is going to my address, which is xxxx xxxx ?"

I said I had a tracking number and needed to confirm I had the write one. I had to tell them the tracking number and they gave me the name and address.

no personal experiences but from seeing when people have shipped on here, it looks like its been taking 2 days from left cn to arrival. hopefully this is true because ill have it this weekend (im at school) otherwise i might have to wait a little longer, with it sitting at my house (
either way im in this same boat, except i havent called fedex, i just assume its mine because i switched to shipped, and had the .CHOPurl==http://=http:///url error, and now this new resent one just fits in. we'll see everyone keep us updated with any news. Thanks

I just called FedEx, and took advantage of having a not very common name. I told them to check if the package, that I found using the Nov. 3 date was supposed to be for me. Yes it was! Yeah!) Gave them the tracking number, spelled my name to check if it is in fact mine (because of "name was not spelled correctly many times before"), and the nice lady told me that it is coming on October 25th) Which in fact should be Friday. However, I will have to wait until Monday to get it( ANyway, congrats to everyone who is shipped, and other people - don't lose faith!) It will come ... eventually. It looks like Gratis really is doing very well on the orders (except this fucked-up random shipment thing, which is keeping many 8/Xs from being shipped).

Also...
When I check it on the site, it says my Ipod is due to be delivered on the 25th of the month. When I called Fedex, the rep said it was scheduled to be delivered on the 22nd. You can probably expect it sooner than what the site says.

i got a question guys. Im a 8/17 and im still STV on the site but i did the fedex reference tracking method using NOV 3, and theres a package that was shipped on the 19th. Could it be mine? because most of you guys have your package in alaska already. I hope its mine because i dont know anyone else who would be in my town who actually completed freeipods.com. everyone, and i mean EVERYONE in my town is skeptical of it. especially because its been 2 months since i've been saying i'd get it.
EDIT what was i smoking, its in Alaska.

Mine's in Indianapolis, IN now! I'm in Michigan.
