Subject Peter, please help.

Peter,

We've spoken before about my ipod situation, (about a month ago). I ordered my ipod 2 months ago and still haven't seen it. People that have ordered their ipods as recent as oct. are now showing up as shipped.

I'm not trying to look a gifthorse in the mouth man, but this is just getting to be downright unfair and myself and a few other people in my situation are just starting to lose hope with this situation. We did our part for Gratis, now someone somewhere at your company needs to hold up to their end of the bargain.

My order number is 455lilili. The email adress I signed up with is suicidenationlililili@yahoo.com.

According to Gratis, I should wait 6-8 weeks for shipping..... tomorrow is 2 months exactly, and no sign of an ipod. If you can't do me a favor and figure this out, please please direct me to someone who can.

Thank you in advance and I do appreciate your help.


Sincerely,
Jason M. Bradley

Who has been marked shipped?

I don’t think that’s true.

A huge batch is shipping simultaneously

Yours is in that batch

Should be any day now.



MY REPLY
On the freeipodsguide.com forums people are posting their shipping dates all over the place. People that ordered in sept. and oct. are posting that they have shipped.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully you're right about me being in the batch that's being shipped.

I apreciate your help

So 8's, are we finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel? Let's hope Peter @ Gratis isn't blowing smoke up my ass.

hope this helps!

Oh, and after my last reply, he shot back another email and said this.


"I think that batch was originally meant to go out within a few days, but its taking longer, and is being sent slightly out of order.

So yours will ship very soon. That’s all I can say".

So actually it doesn't look as good as I thought.

hmm, not really what I would have liked to have heard from them...

"I think that batch was originally meant to go out within a few days, but its taking longer, and is being sent out of order."

So, that means us 8's weren't sent to Apple till later (if even yet)!? I'd like more clarification personally. It just seems like more of the same from Gratis - "sit and wait - it'll eventually happen..." Just sucks for us that have been doing so patiently for 2 months while folks who've waited 2 weeks and PREDICTED they'd ship Oct 20 and get shipped on the 19th! Come on.

That was very encouraging news there Jasonb
at least they responded to you...


That it kinda crazy how they are sending them out in a random order.

I shipped to HP so that adds another variable to the mix to confuse things...


WHO's The Oldest 8/X here who still hasn't shipped????

I'm from GearLive.. never posted before here.. but yeh.. I'm an 8/17 STV and I'm getting pretty darn impatient. I'm glad all you 9/x's and 10/x's are getting yours, but us 8/x's are the people that showed you the site, we're like your grandparents, so Gratis should show us some respect.

I buy that email reply more than that chat transcript from the other day.

We shall see if there's a large shipment... it will be very evident if it happens.

hemingway2

19-10-2004 17:57:11

we know theres a large shipment, so many people are posting there received or shipped. the question is, why arent the 8's and early 9's in it!

hemingway2

20-10-2004 09:42:58

holy fuck, i think i just found my tracking number. i called fedex, but they said they dont have the details yet for each individual manifest.

find out soon(tommorow?).

8/28. and pulling for you other 8's. and hating you late 9's and 10's.
cheers.
