Well I went shipped for laptops today, but I have checked the status with UPS, and it says that the package is 1.10 Lbs. The Macbook is about 5 Lbs. How does this work?

Freepay has skill[b42b77292ff]z[/b42b77292ff]. Don't be too worried about it, maybe they just made an error or the tracking information is wrong.

Maybe they sent you a shirt or clock too.

Or perhaps it's just a [i2f5478f7a1]picture[/i2f5478f7a1] of the Macbook...

HAHA. Yeah, with my experience with them, I wouldn't be surprised if any of those were true.

I just can't wait to get this from them. I will have received a 60GB iPod and this, so I think I'm done with them now.

well tomorrow's the big day! UPS says that it finally arrived in denver today and will be delivered tomorrow. We'll see if it really is the actual laptop... hahaha

Good luck, chief. Hopefully it's not a box full of rotton pig gonadslili.






liliFresh pig gonads are a pleasant treat, so it'd be a shame if they had gone bad during shipment.[/sizedb6ab6036d]

I"M EXTREMELY TICKED!!!

I get the package today, and what's inside? An 80GB Apple Ibook Hard drive. JUST the hard drive. WHAT THE HECK???

Obviously, I"m not settling for a 70 dollar item. I want my MacBook. I already called PC Mall and told them the problem, but they told me to contact Freepay. I emailed Freepay, but know that they won't respond.

What should I do?

I bet it's just a mistake when they ordered it, keep emailing them and they will fix it. just might take a little bit of time.

I was once shipped a 20GB iPod instead of a 60GB. I contacted Gratis, and they said as long as I didn't open the iPod box, to just reseal the outer box, and hand it back to a driver from the same carrier, telling them it's a mistake, and to return it to sender.

I'm not saying to just do that though. Contact them first.

so you didn't have to pay for shipping? you just gave it back to the carrier?


also, is there any way that I should be emailing or contacting freepay that will get them to respond faster?

Okay, maybe I'm a sadistic blistard, but I have to say that I laughed a little when reading this.

I'd contact freepay directly to resolve this. An email will probably work, but may take some time as they are not the most responsive bunch. A few other posts around here reference how to contact via phone.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Sincerely,
A sadistic blistard

Absolutely. I was told to do that by Gratis after they declined to pay for return shipping.

A support ticket might be enough, but my correspondence was email based. I'm uncertain whether or not it's "cool" to post Gratis email addresses here, though.

That's ok. I know that later I'll think this is funny too, it's just so annoying, because I know it's going to take weeks to sort this out.

Guess what?

I called the CEO of Freepay yesterday, and WHAT A SURPRISE!!! This morning first thing, I get a response to ALL of my support tickets. They've already sent my MacBook and gave me a new tracking number... this time with a weight of 9 LBS!!! lol
