someone said that they heard in the next couple of weeks, and that was last week. So, who knows...
I'd like to contact gratis about it, but i don't have any kind of contact information.

It seems like every week that the next shipment will be in "the next couple of weeks". Does anyone have specific dates of when the next shipment will be?

Probably no. There were no clues about the first batch until pretty much right before it happened anyways.

Requested approval this morning. Hoping for approval this week or at least by next Monday.
It would be cool if this went as fast as my Shuffle did... 2 days for approval, STV for 2 days and shipping in 4 days.
Don't have the keyboard, mouse or monitor yet, but plan on buying them once this goes into STV.

^^^ canned response. Pretty much expected.
Thanks for the post, stavros.
Guess we just have to wait. Aof course, we know they come in batches. Hoping for sometime next week. Hate to be in approval for so long.

today was business day 6 for me... so i sent an email.
gratis representative "jake" responded saying i had only 9 referrals (when i had ten)... i asked him to double check and he did and realized he made a mistake (he also added that it was "friday afternoon, you know how it is"...i laughed)... and then things were cleared up but i'm still waiting to be approved.
i hope this comes through quickly. my damn computer just keeps getting worse and worse )

I asked for approval on Mon 4/4, still nothing yet, I am hoping to be approved by next Mon. If I don't by Wed I will send an email.

So on day #10, still waiting for approval. I gave them until tomorrow to approve it... I won't send an message to them, but still.... this is getting pretty uncalled for.
I know they are busy, but it looks like Shuffle and iPod get more priority than the popular Mac minis.

I am with you Willy, I requested approval on 4/4 and nothing yet. I just want to place my order and be done with it until I get the email saying it has shipped a month later.

omg what is up with gratis and OC lately, nothing seems to be going right. requested approval for mini mac on 3/31, still nothing. it's been a half a month for crying out loud!
whenrabbisattack
14-04-2005 14:56:17
at least there's a large group of people with problems and not just a few singled out people.
i hope gratis straightens things out.. soon.
i probably won't get my mac before the semester is over...
i'm thinking of getting a paintjob on my mac mini or ipod... www.colorwarepc.com ...or a skin from www.skinit.com

I'll have to check in an hour or so.

15-04-2005 13:17:31
Yep.. all nice and approved... I had 11 greens (just in case someone wasn't legit).... which means, that deadheart was legit since they didn't DQ his referral.
Anyway... now to sit back and wait for this thing to get here.
Relief... now to head home and enjoy the weekend.

Another 11 greens... wow. Gratis got a couple of extras from us.
They got two offers from me when I first started the site in February.
Oh well... it will be worth it.
And I've already told my daughter-in-law no sodas are allowed on this computer..... I'm not going to pay $30 to have sticky ass soda being spilled on it.... maybe I should get one of those iSkin keyboard things to protect it.
