My status changed to STV today!!!

Yay! Anyone else?

Yeah, mine did too!! Been waiting about 2 weeks, but if finally changed.

Yah!!! I just went STV this is awesome. I hope i will get it by the end of the week. I am in michigan so if they are still using the same vendor which is in michigan i think i should have it in a few days. Is sent to vendor, waiting on product the normal status or does that mean it is on back order or something.

WOO f'n HOO!!!!!!

Im so stoked!

I am pretty sure this is the normal message that is displayed. I could be wrong though. Either way, we are all one step closer to getting our ipod!!!

Yeah, STV is the next step in the process. Basically, that means that Gratis' order has been sent in to their fulfillment supplier, and now they need to get them out the door. I'm in WI, so I'm hoping that it's soon for me (and everyone else out there that just went STV) too!

ya, hopefully they are not back ordered

Don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but when I completed back in January....

Approved 1/31/2005
STV 1/31/2005
Shipped 2/2/2005
Received 2/4/2005

Hope you guys see similar delivery times...

D

Me too, STV today!!!

Not bad at all, only 4 business days for me -- unlike some of you who've been waiting for weeks.

yep I also went stv today...I will be presently surprised if i have my ipod in the next week or so

congrats to all of you...if you could please tell me how long it took for you to get to that point, it would help me greatly.

i sent in my request for approval last monday (3/21) and i havnt seen anything yet..it still says congrats, blah blah blah...check back in 3-5 days....i sent in a CS ticket and their response was, we check individual basis please be patient...ok so i konw that im not the only person who completed their offer...but i was wondering how long does it take to get from where i am at to where you are at

it took me around 8 days, I email them once or twice, if it says 5 days that translates into a little over a week... @ least in my experiance

so on that time frame..hopefully tomorrow...i hope that i can get accepted and then stv and get in on the next batch that is being sent out

Mine is taking forever to get approved, considering the fact that this is my third time sending in, because of a screw up in their system. (

STV here as well.

Yay!!!!!! Finally STV!!!!!!!!!! Does "Sent to Vendor, Waiting on Product" mean it's on backorder?

I got a response to one of my CS inquiries (about being processing for such a long time) which read

Thanks for your email about your order. iPods are currently on backorder because of their very high demand. But, the good news is many will be shipped out from our vendor in the near future. Please be patient and understand we are doing everything in our power to get your order out the door and into your hands. You will receive your iPod, rest assured. Please get in touch in a little while if nothing changes.

when did you put your request in

mine went STV today after only 2 business days of processing!! im in PA so i hope i get it soon!!! congrats to everyone who got STV status!

I'm still waiting for approval as well ( its been like 11 days. Congrats to the batch of people that got STV.

I'm STV!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! ) How long before we're shipped.
It says "We have placed your order, but are most likely waiting for inventory to arrive before we can ship it out." I hope that doesn't take long. ( I had wanted it by my birthday tomorrow but oh well. I'm still getting a free item!

I guess it's backordered... but my CS ticket said it shouldn't take too long. That 4-6 week estimate is probably more accurate than I had hoped though..

Ohhh.. I didn't mean 4-6 weeks of backorder! I was referring to the 4-6 weeks it estimated for me to receive my ipod from the day I placed my order. Wednesday will be 3 weeks, so I can see another 1-3 weeks before I actually have the ipod in my possession.

congrats everone....hope u guys get it soon

omg scared me, cause i got STV yesterday and im moving(whole family moving out of state) in mid may ?

Well, I got my iPod from mp3players4free today.

Took about aa week from Order Placed to in my hands.

My status says shipped!!!! Anyone know how to get tracking information. I seem to remember someone saying that you have to email someone.

Hope everyones comes through ok!


liedit = I figured out to track the package

I got a tracking number link in my status page. Takes you to DHL's website. You'll need to copy and paste the actual number. They weren't in the system earlier, but they are now. EFulfillment is in Grawn, MI, which is, as the crow flies, about 100 miles from where I am, but there's the small matter of Lake Michigan in the way! It's nearly a level, straight shot too!

At any rate, it's shipped, so I should see it tomorrow!

Yep, mine shipped today too. Woot!!!

estimated delivery of 3/31!!! Unfortunately I had it shipped to my home address (to avoid the whole "campus box" issue -- even though someone is there to sign for packages in the mail room) but hopefully my mom will overnight it from work ;)

I'm looking at appx 3 months from start to finish (2 to complete the requirements, 1 one from submitting for approval to delivery). Not bad ;)
