Just to let everyone know ACI/Apple uses Ingram Micro for logistics so DONT get confused with your items coming from Ingram Micro, they ARNT. They are ACI stock.

I saw another user post an Ingram Micro price sheet. That was an Ingram Micro SKU and has nothing to do with current stock that apple has. They have different SKU's. Just because Ingram is sold out means absolutely nothing.

15-11-2004 11:54:23

I agree, it's a cool map, and nicely done, but how does knowing that I'm 7/23 shipped and received to MA help anyone at this point?

If OP was willing to do a map for every month and continuously update it that would be awesome for everyone, but I doubt that's likely to happen. I'm certain you could do a info dump someplace with 3 input boxes that would dump to a database and as the info was compiled, it would auto-update the map. Using that method, you'd just run a new map for each month, which would be very easy to do.

ario

15-11-2004 22:00:42

I do think this thread is worth stickying... I think an auto-updated map could be a good idea, but has more potential for abuse than this. I think people would be more likely to screw with something when they could automatically see it updated. I don't mind updating it myself, and also I keep a list of everyone who's contributed their info so I don't put something in twice. If someone wants to make the auto-map, though, feel free. As for this only being useful for the October STVs, that's true, but they're the only ones waiting right now. Once we get some November STV dates, me or someone else can make the map for that. BTW, I'll post the next map in an hour or so, after any 1 am shippings are posted.

ario

15-11-2004 22:24:50

Okay, here's the new map. I still can't really see much in the way of regional patterns. (Sigh) looks like no one new has shipped tonight. This map has some updates from new people posting their info, though.

CollidgeGraduit

Alphabetical by state? Your map shows that people from Tennessee have shipped, yet someone from Oklahoma is reporting that they did not ship. You're wasting your time.. drawing bullshit maps doesn't speed up the process.

chillywilly

16-11-2004 08:17:44

[quote1573a8c9ff="CollidgeGraduit"]Alphabetical by state? Your map shows that people from Tennessee have shipped, yet someone from Oklahoma is reporting that they did not ship.[/quote1573a8c9ff]
I agree that I don't think it's alphabetical by state. It's more various regions if anything.

And from regions, it may very well be based on the number of people from that area. Some like Boise, ID don't make sense unless there were a lot there that are not online out here.

Even still, I think the map helps to some degree... at least giving us a view of who's shipped or not.

ario

16-11-2004 08:59:58

I personally can only sort of see patterns, nothing concrete enough to predict who's next though. As for alphabetical... it sort is following that trend, yes, but not completely. There are also plenty of states that have had people shipped for over a week but still have others who haven't shipped.

ario

16-11-2004 09:01:25

Incidentally, is it quite appropriate for a moderator to be calling another user's helpful gesture "bullshit?" I know it doesn't speed up the process, but it doesn't really harm anything, now, does it? I like making the map, it doesn't take me long, and obviously people like looking at it. Why don't you just chill out, Yolanda.

My mistake, Blavitch. No new shippings, but here's the updated/corrected map anyway. States that have changed since the last map have been marked with a 'C'

Randyspawn

18-11-2004 02:14:07

Hey Ario,

Good idea on the map, but you really need to keep dates on it to notice any trends. Just from looking through lots of posts, it seems like the west was first (I know I saw a Seattle when Cali started shipping), followed by the south (some of TX definitely shipped a week after Cali), the east (some VAs shipped right before NJ), and then the northeast. Notice that for the most part, more commercialized states and areas are shipping relatively faster than the states around them, which I think has to do with how Fedex automatically piggybacks their shipments so that iPods with no deadlines will get there along with whatever else happens to be going that way and maybe with Apple shipping things regionally as their local distributors and retailers require them to.

I think the most useful thing to do would be for everyone to call their local Apple store to finf out when their last shipment came in and whne the next one will be, to see if it correlates with when they actually get their iPods.

ario

18-11-2004 09:34:36

Almost no one has been posting the date that their status changed to shipping, so I don't really know how to add that to the map. If you mean dates when people went STV, my data shows that has almost nothing to do with when you ship.

Randyspawn

18-11-2004 14:34:02

Yeah, lotsa people here just don't read, and it is obvious that STV dates don't mean jack so I don't know why everyone insists on posting them all over the place. To add dates you could just put colored dots representing individual dates, or groups of dates if it starts to get too crazy with the number of colors. Of course, getting people to post their shipping dates is kind of hard. Maybe you should request a simple format like this, telling ONLY the October STVs to post their shipping dates with NOTHING MORE and NOTHING LESS

I'm an october STV
I shipped on 11/15.

This is a very difficult endeavor though, I tried to start a thread doing something similar a few weeks ago and lots of people for some reason just don't follow the directions. roll

it seems that gratis is choosing big cities where they have a lot of customers waiting to deliver to first, maybe state has less to do with how many peole from each specific area were ordering? ario lemme know what you think, you have been in contact with this info for a while so you would prolly know if i'm just being opppositional

ario

20-11-2004 15:05:30

That seems possible, to an extent. I don't have access to much more data than you--all I've got is a non-random sample of whoever was willing to give their info, and I've mostly got states only, no cities or anything. It also seems weird that Texas would be entirely unshipped if they were shipping areas with lots of people at the same time. Hopefully that means that Texas is soon. That would make some sense, though. I can send you my Excel file which has percentages by state and STV date, if you want.

Okay, here's the new map, changes marked with a 'C.' Washington DC is only 2x2 pixels in this map, but it is now green

https//webspace.utexas.edu/ans368/shippedmap11-21.gif[" alt=""/img8ef63f0247]

In a few minutes I'm going to post the percentages shipped by state and STV. I think there is a relatively clear pattern.

ario

20-11-2004 23:38:05

Here is the breakdown percentagewise by state and STV

https//webspace.utexas.edu/ans368/state.gif[" alt=""/img1477526f27]

Obviously this is not scientific or total.. this is only people who have reported their information to me or whose information I have recorded from their posts in other threads. While the pattern is not absolute, it does strongly appear that they are shipping alphabetically by state, with stronger emphasis on earlier STV dates. I believe a few 10/28 STV's have shipped, but none have reported any of their information to me. I have no data at all for 10/6 STV's so they are not shown on here.

r2d2_unit

21-11-2004 01:59:12

according to that no 10/28's have shipped at all. damn maybe i'm longer to wait then i thought... this sucks, if anyone is stv 10/28 and shipped please post your info it could save a young child's life!

ario

21-11-2004 02:02:52

Notice, though, that I only have the info for four 10/28's on there, all of them in states that have only partially shipped or not at all for other dates.

Hey ario, can you keep posting the percentage data sheet as things change? Now that a pattern is developing, I think it's a bit more helpful than the map.

ario

Thanks, ario, and thanks for feeding our obsession.

Of course. I want my iPod just as badly as anyone else. My girlfriend pointed out that spending all this time on a map won't make it come any faster. She's right. I have no defense. Oh well.

Blavitch

21-11-2004 18:09:02

Does anyone know how fast they ship out? It's obvious that they are shipping alphabetically by state. How quick are they moving through?

Cheers,

I'm a 10/13 in VA who has not received his yet...still STV. I noted that there is no one down on the percentage chart for this.

TinLemon

22-11-2004 09:11:42

I am also a 10/13 STV in VA who has not been shipped. VA is marked as not shipped in the Oct 22 column.. the zero is for 0% shipped. I guess they can add another 0 to the 10/13 column though too.

The Jawa

22-11-2004 09:33:03

i'm also a 10/13 stv in VA whose numbers haven't been recorded.
i ordered on 10/5, went stv on the 13th, and as of noon on 11/22 still haven't shipped.

i'm hoping i end up like bebe and just get a surprise.
i also hope that my random roomate doesn't steal my ipod since i'm home on break.

chillywilly

22-11-2004 11:51:48

thanks for the hope, bebe.

I would venture to guess that based on ario's charts and maps, they are shipping alphabetically, which would mean if that is the case, Texas people will get their ipods before us Utah people get ours... then VA people will get theirs about the same time or a bit later than Utah.

Now the only question left is how soon will they ship to states that start with O and P?

yeft

22-11-2004 11:55:53

lets hope real soon

stuthemonkey

22-11-2004 12:36:04

22-11-2004 16:10:56

Guess who's the new proud owner of an iPod? Yup, sitting on my desk when I got home, 2 days early too!

We are more than half way through the alphabet now on states that shipped.

Until I see Texas shipping, I've decided not to check my FiP account Too frustrating seeing the same message.

But again, thanks to ario, it's nice to see a pattern that makes sense and that gives those us us in the N-W states hope.

There are lots of thoughts on this issue in the other thread, but I'm hoping the theory that turns out true is that they switched to a better vendor and we were all put on the list... THEN.... we get shipped by the first week of December. Again... that's just a theory. Only time will tell.

This is getting bad. Last night, I had a dream about all of us getting our ipods. It was great. It happened like this...doodaloo doodaloo doodaloo (Wayne's World Dream Noise)


I got back from class around 2pm...I checked my email and I had twenty of those "Bar of soap" emails...I linked to the site and I literally watched Ario's map turn green state by state. I rushed out the door to my campus mail room and saw that it had arrived. I got my package, rushed home, started charging the ipod, took a picture with my digital camera, and posted it on the forum."


Then I woke up and had to deal with the fact that I still don't have my ipod. Well, it was nice while it lasted. Next, I will be dreaming of a white christmas...HA! I wonder which will come first.
