Accoring to Gratis, I shipped Monday. With No DHL info, I thought I'd get it by Wednesday seeing as I live in Chicago, which is only about 6 hours from Efulfillment's warehouse.
While I'm waiting, my photo ipod gets ship notification Wednesday. And it just showed up at my door today, Thursday.
Sooooooo, if my shuffle really did ship, like I'm being told, I definately would have gotten it by now seeing as it should only take a day, 2 at the most, to get to my house.
Looks like Gratis is lying to some of us

I got a tracking number for my shuffle, and according to DHL, I should get it tomorrow. i'll let you guys know.
I'm more confused about the X-Boxes right now. National shortage. Odd communication from Gratis. No tracking from DHL. Bizarre.
Yeah, mine hasn't shipped yet either. They just marked our orders as shipped. They will ship eventually though. I wouldn't worry about it.

Here was my situation I was listed as "Shipped" for two full days and no tracking number was given. I knew nothing, other than I was "Shipped" according to Gratis. Then, I got a tracking number which wasn't recognized by DHL. Real helpful. Then yesterday, I tried the tracking number again, and it worked, showing I actually shipped out on the 16th. (I'm not sure if my dates are right but the idea is there).
Here is my guess of what Gratis/eFulfillment is doing They have a huge bunch of STV people. After awhile, they get some iPod Shuffles packaged and ready for shipment, then print up some address labels for some certain people who are in STV. Those people who get the address labels printed up are then listed as "Shipped" even though they haven't actually gone out the door with DHL. Then, after DHL picks up the packages (which may be after a couple days), a tracking number is given. DHL won't recognize the tracking information right away, however, until they update their systems, which is why the tracking number may not be recognized right away.
It's a guess, but who knows... could be something like that.

Whats strange is not everyone is getting a tracking number posted to their account on Gratis either. Some people who have already gotten their shuffles never saw a tracking number...just their reference number
