Reason for shuffle delay..

I had a good chuckle over this, but this is the reason we're waiting - and it's not Gratis's fault!

The Shuffles were scheduled to ship today-- they've been with eFulfillment
for a while, but (if you've sent he boxes before, not a standard shape) they
didn't have the shipping boxes they needed to pack them with DHL-- that's
what has been causing the delay.[/quote37078febf8]

They should go out tomorrow or Friday I'd think. They're probably getting their boxes from Uline in Chicago.

Sorry for the delay. Please understand that demand for ipod shuffles is extremely high and at this juncture, we can not give you a definite time frame due to Apple's dynamic production schedule. Please be patient with us during this time. When it is ready to be shipped, you will receive an email to verify your shipping information. Thank you for your patience.

I'm sure that your information, coming from a new customer who just got their approval yesterday, is certainly relevant to a thread started by a long term customer and forum member based on the information that he got from a personal contact at Gratis.
I don't understand why people with the most minor, insignificant details or theories need to chime in when a definitive word on the matter has already been delivered by an authority on the matter.
Thanks CG, keep up the good work.
sorry if i seem overly negative, but it is hard for people to get straight answers when people post irrelevant stuff.

and it had nothing to do with the helpful info CG posted that was the topic of this thread.

yes it did, since this was the reply to my question to them about the shipping and oddly shaped boxes. I wanted to pull more information from them.

Alrighty. Seems like my Shuffle and iPod might be coming at exactly the same time, if Gratis sticks to their shipping time pattern...Thanks CG!

Yeah, at least my thread contained an actual human response in regards to when the would ship. You just posted the canned response we've all been getting over the last 2 months.

god damnit, will u stop? i dont fucking know what you got over the past 2 months, I pasted a reply that was sent to me to the relevant question. If you don't find it useful, then ignore it and leave me the fuck alone.

Well, for one thing, I don't know if you noticed or not but I'm female. So, the "bastard" thing doesn't really apply. But yes, my fiance and I met on the internet and dated long distance for about 9 months till he moved cross country to be with me D

I finally got it all figured out - I'm returning mine to the Apple Store and getting store credit; then I'm buying a 60GB iPod Photo with the student discount using the store credit. THEN I'm going to sell my 20GB iPod plus the skins I have for it on eBay and hopefully get $250-$300 for it. I may even do a Buy It Now bonus with the dock to get the right amount of money from the sale...
I just have so much music now (almost 40GB) since I started using i2hub, and there's no reason to constrain myself when I have the opportunity to do this. D
I just wish I could rassle up the 10 refs for a free Photo iPod...
