I got my first ipod shuffle on Friday the 18th. Today (Monday the 21st) there was another ipod shuffle from efufillment waiting for me at my dorm!
Wooooooo! I turned my first shuffle into a mini. Now I'm going to return my mini for 200 - 10%=180 + 150 = 330
Should I spend that on an Ipod Photo or a normal Ipod? I'm leaning towards the photo.

yeah im gonna be in the next batch of shuffles and im worried that this is going to make my shipment get delayed tell forever so that they can figure out what went wrong. LoL these threads might be the first time they hear of this...

I did too...I am telling Gratis...I doubt they will ask for it back, and its the right thing to do...
Ask for it back? how can they?
"Please sir or madam. We flililied up. Please pay the $10 shipping to send back the shuffle that you may/may not have opened or used.
Spank you very much,
Gratis"

Obviously not. If they want it back, I need some sort of compensation, even if it's only the shipping charge.

I got two of them today as well- they have different tracking numbers. I'm just going to leave one alone for awhile and see what happens with it. Has anyone talked to Gratis about this?

HOLY CRAP! IM IN THE NEXT BATCH! HOPEFULLY I GET 2! SO EXCITED!
PS Im sure its a glitch or something, they dont ship the shuffles from Gratis directly, so maybe they accidentally sent 2 copies of the form and bought 2x the normal amount. They probably wont ask it back.
wow i'm supposed to get my first one tomorrow...That would be wierd if I got 2 of them.
gman225
21-03-2005 18:17:09

Question.. My iPod shuffle that i got today from freeipodshuffles shipped on the 18th. Think theres a chance they sent me a second one too?
If you search your refrence number and zip at DHL, does it come up with 2 shipments?

You know I got two shuffle as well. The right thing to do is Tell Gratis. They could suspend your other Gratis offers you are trying to achieve. Really it is the right thing to do. At first I wasn't going to say anything thinking I might have been the only one maybe two, but its obvious this is more of a wide spread problem. I emailed Gratis I offered them contact information and told them I would do what they wished within limitations. I won't pay to ship back their mistakes. I do think it could bite some of you in the ars, if you don't hold of a while and see what Gratis has to say about this whole issue first.
Good Times,

Im sorry, but how old are you guys?
Honestly...no...seriously...are you living in the real world?
If a major company makes a mistake and sends everyone 2x of something they paid $90 for...do you honestly believe they are going to ask you to send it back and threaten to put your other sites on hold?
I mean...COME ONNN
It's their mistake, and they have to deal with it...

I think if I get one I'll send them both back so they don't suspend my account - I'll also include my free minimac - I don't want to anger the almighty gratis! shock
Like wood said - go ahead and email them if it clears your consince (I don't know how to spell that) but the shuffles are yours to keeps - cheers

Nothing yet. I am hoping Honesty will pay off. I have always felt Honesty is the best practice. If I had mistakenly sent people too many products or $$ I would hope that people in this world would be honest. That's all I am trying to do. Has nothing to do with a conscious or warm fuzzies. Its just about doing whats right.

Life would be oh so very sweet if I got home and a 2nd one was waiting. Though mine shipped on the 18th and arrived yesterday. I'm thinking if I were to get 2, the first one would have shipped on the 16th.

The "Shipment No." is different between both of mine, but the "Billing Ref" is identical.

When I suspected I was getting two it was because I saw to distinct tracking number under my order # when I checked DHL.

lets get real is gratis really gonna say "your accounts are on hold because you have yet to return the extra shuffle we had accidentally shipped to you" ?
I'm pretty sure you guys also know how successful peter martin is with his company, i remember someone mentioning a range within the millions?
Anyway ,I'm sure gratis Internet is far from dell or Microsoft. But i believe their profit capital can cover this mistake. If your a business major I'm sure requesting customers to return a product that was due to company error is really not a good idea for the company.
By the way didn't an incident similar to this occur when gratis was first starting out, the change from apple to hp ipods when most people had their order delayed. What happened with that situation?

So there you have it.
Gratis[before being million dollar company]
ipod incident a 200-250 a piece loss.
Gratis[currently a million dollar company]
shuffle incident a 80-90 a piece loss.
the verdict on the situation im thinkin you guys get a extra shuffle.
