Submitted for approval late last night, or early this morning, depends on how you look at it. I was approved within 3 business days for my iPod earlier this month, are the shuffles moving along yet?

That's tough to say. I submitted for approval last Thursday and I've still not heard anything.

I'm sure there are exceptions, though.

But, they've been having some minor site screw-ups recently. The double sending of iPod Shuffles and the disappearance of the Cameras site might imply that they are rather busy right now.

I submitted for approval sometime early this week, Monday maybe? Haven't heard anyhting yet, but I'm at work and don't check my status here.

My guess would be end of the week - Friday. I got my Gaming System last week, and the processing time for that was exactly 5 business days. We'll see, though.

Today is my fifth business day, so I'm hoping to see some sort of change tonight or tomorrow.

I'm guessing there is a bit of backlog, what with all of the problems they had double-shipping shuffles.

Another night turns into day and I'm still not approved. Oh well.

Patience is the key with this. That, and staying distracted.

I submitted for approval this morning. Looks like I should just check the account sometime next week and not worry about it for now, based on the lack of what others are going through.

I expect it will take at least a month to get the Shuffle. It took 2 months to get my iPod last year, but had heard they were doing quicker shipments. Maybe that applies to other free items besides the iPod... would be nice.

Just happy to have this site done. Now to get to the other ones.

Another week of waiting begins. I am beginning to worry.

no one is getting approved so I wouln't worry about it being something wrong with your account.

Yeah. Seems like they are just being lazy at Gratis.

I expect it will be another week. Then processing for 2 weeks. Then STV for another 1-2 weeks.

My guess is that with the recent double sending of shuffles, they are a bit backed up.

That could be some issues, but I would guess it's more with Gratis than with eFulfillment.

Good point. I hadn't considered that the double-shipping was E-Fulfillment's problem, not Gratis'.

I guess I'm just a tad concerned. Here it is, business day 7, and I've not heard anything. Oh well.

A week waiting for approval is something to be concerned about, but it looks like most of the people here are in the same boat (as I expect to be). Gratis just needs to be more on top of these things.

I mean, 10 greens to approve could take a bit of time. But 3 greens??? They should breeze through these.

Approved! Now following the other thread. That is all.
