If they are releasing a new mini and that's the reason we are waiting, then this is totally worth it. Care to comment Jake? )

More mini mac rumors

This would be nice... Not sure when they would actually roll out and which model we would get, but it would definately explain the wait.

I'm guessing some distributors will still have some G4 minis for some time now. Of course I'm still working on a few greens for this offer so hopefully by the time I go green they'll be shipping Intel minis. It would be even better if they were core duo chips too. That'd be an easy way to dip my toe in the universal binary waters!

It would be sweet if they released a new macmini on tuesday and has them in adundant suppy so we get a new mini shipped out soon )

looks like a good chance for a new macmini today and they will have an initial stockpile of them

Hopefully this means we will get ours soon )
We are waiting for the official announcement before ordering our next batch....

... even with the new price points?

the standard option is 599 the same price as the one freepay was offering for the current mid level macmini.

I am still in Processing, have been for a whole week. How long does it usually take? And with this, it may take longer......

I've been STV for 6 weeks now... The new Macs sounded like a pretty good reason to wait, now I'm starting to get concerned.

Yea, I got approved on 2/1 so it has been awhile for me too. It looks like nothing has been shipped from freepay recently, maybe they dont' have any money and are delaying everyone? I just hope these macminis ship this week.

I would imagine they're a bit backlogged with mini shipments. hopefully now that the new ones are out and they can actually place a large order for them will mean they'll start moving them out. keep us posted on your progress.

Jake any update on when your shipment will be in?
It's on its way. I don't know when it will arrive yet but I know it's coming.
tramahound
06-03-2006 08:07:58
I thought you guys just shipped minis from a vendor not directly from Freepay.
Jake, are you at liberty to indicate approximately how back-logged you are with mini shipments?
stagim

Thats what I thought also

Someone else on another board who also went from STV to Processing said they submitted a ticket inquiring about the situation and got the following response
[quoteaf6fa29d54]We apologize for this delay however; we are currently reviewing certain completed offers in order to determine whether or not credit was properly awarded to those who legitimately signed up for them. We thank you for your continued patience in this matter.[/quoteaf6fa29d54]
This boilerplate response is starting to get really tiring. confused2

Yea, I have been approved for this site for over a month and a half and every week there is a different excuse, first they were waiting for the shipment to arrive, then strangely they were waiting for news from apple for the new product (don't know what happened to that shipment they were wiating for origionally?), now that the new products have been announced they are waiting for shipment again and now things like the AOL issue is coming up and blaming fraud, etc...

WOW! Went to check my status this morning, still STV.
Just checked 5 minutes ago and it says SHIPPED!
Went to track it, and the receptionist has already signed for it!!
Going to get it now. Weird thing is, the DHL trick wasn't working. Will post in brag bag when I get picks.
