Their supplier is eFulfillment, in Northwest Michigan. The problem Gratis has been having is that vendors like eCost, who are also online stores, would not set aside the stock Gratis needed - or ship our orders on a timely matter.
So, Gratis switched to ordering directly from Apple. Turns out they weren't very prompt at shipping on an order-by-order basis. Also, from what I've heard, Apple is getting slow at sending out orders from their own site now.
Now, Gratis is with eFulfillment, which is a company that will store product for Gratis, and ship it out. Gratis orders a ton of iPods and Photo iPods from Apple, and they're all delivered to eFulfillment. Gratis then sends the individual orders to eFulfillment, who ships them out to the Gratis customers.
Definitely a good deal... Gratis still gets the bulk price from Apple, and they are finally with a company that can ship promptly.
I hope this answered your question )
so.... I take it this means they're gonna ship the first batch of people who've been STV for the photo iPod for a few days now very very soon. Right?
maybe even today? roll
or if they don't ship them soon, I hope for Gratis it means eFulfillment actually doesn't have any photo iPod in stock yet
[quote2223d4bd8b]Storage cost is $68.50 base fee plus $10.00 per 4x4x4 pallet per month or a per item storage fee based on your average number of items per pallet. For example, if your merchandise averages 500 items per pallet, we would charge $10.00 divided by 500 or $.02 per item per month for storage plus the $68.50 base fee. There are no setup fees, no receiving fees and no minimums.[/quote2223d4bd8b]
Just joking, it seems like a fair and affordable price.

Actually, Harry said that they shipped on Thursday... so licrosses fingersli I should have mine today.
I think this map might be of interest to quite a few people too. It illustrates shipping time from eFulfillment warehouse. I guess you should take it as just an indication

but you were still STV friday evening right? I didn't hear of anyone being shipped yet, so I guess that's why I'm asking.

Plus Karma for that. I just hope they give me at least a tracking number. I live in the projects, if my I pod is left out there it's gonna get jacked. In which case I will sue some one. =)
