Post in here if you're waiting for your ipod. As far as I know, the 10/13's, us 10/22's, and 10/28's are the only ones not shipped. D'ya think Gratis is waiting for enough STV's, and then gonna ship us all? Just post your thoughts here, and especially things we can do to get our mind off of it. Because I'm checking my account every 30 min. at school. I'm getting paranoid. It's in my head! Ahhh!

Thanks for your email about your order. IPods are currently on backorder because of their very high demand. But, the good news is many will be shipped out from our vendor in the near future. Please be patient and understand we are doing everything in our power to get your order out the door and into your hands. Let me also explain what our different order statuses mean. “Pending” means we are working on processing your order. This usually takes 3 to 5 business days, but can take more time due to high volume or account verification. “In Progress” (1, 2, and 3 are all the same) means that your order has been sent to our vendor and we are awaiting shipment status. Again, iPods are on backorder, so many users have had an order in pending for several days. Once an order has shipped your status will change to “Shipped” and you should receive the item in approximately 3 to 5 business days. We do not currently provide tracking numbers for orders placed on our website. We are working on adding this functionality. Please only contact us if your order has been marked shipped for over a week, and we can follow up with tracking it down. liliCurrently, your order is in progress. You should receive shipment with a Fedex tracking number in as little as two but no more than three weekslili Thanks for your patience


So it looks like we'll be shipped within 3 weeks. 10/13's should be any day now, according to that.

by the looks of that email, i think it'd be safe to say that they might be shipping the 10/13's with the 10/22 mid november, i hope they get to the 10/28's too, but i doubt it. now i'm just hoping i get mine before christmas

What is your STV date. And should RECIEVE no more than 3 weeks so figure about 2 weeks to ship. Also Why are they saying people have been waiting several days. Its been several weeks. And that message is just a copy and paste.

My STV date is 10/22. And YES, it's a copy and paste from the message Gratis sent me through my freeipods.com account. What's your point?

just trying to give a little of hope for a faster ship. but they prob will ship all new orders out at once, since they are dealing with the company direct their price for each unit is more but the requirment for a bulk order is also higher.

10/13 here, im starting to get pissed off, i did my end of the deal, what about theirs?

brywalker

05 baby.

05.

Also, I think the backorder thing is BS. You are telling me right now that if I went to the Apple site and ordered one it would be backordered for months.

Nope.

I bet Gratis get paid from their sponsors monthly, and are waiting for the next set of checks to place the orders.

Exactly, I got the same thing. BTW, if you guys watch TSS on G4TV, I was Caller #4 for the random phone calls thing!!!! According to Kevin and Alex, AMD is better than Intel. Yay, a little bit of excitement while waiting for my ipod.
