Ok, I had been aproved for an ipod from them since the beginning of this month, and I talked to the guy, and he said it would be shipped around the 20th, and I need it for sept 2 as my moms B-day gift. Well, Haven't recieved it and it still says processing, is there any better way to contact them?

You COULD buy an iPod from a store and just return the one you get or if you're getting paypal you'll make your money back. Good plan if you need it by september 2nd.

From MSNBC

[i6a52b58410]Police believe Allen would buy items, take them to his car, then return to the store with his receipt. He would select the same items, then take them to the store return desk and show the receipt from the first purchase. Using that method, he would receive credit for the second items on his credit cards, Burnett said.

Allen was allegedly seen Jan. 2 at a Target in Gaithersburg taking items off the shelf that he then took[/i6a52b58410] [to] [i6a52b58410]the return desk. He had a receipt for the merchandise, was given a refund and left.

The items he allegedly received fraudulent refunds for include clothing, a Bose theater system and stereo equipment. Some purchases were as little as $2.50.[/i6a52b58410]

I'm not advising that someone may acceptably return to a store an iPod got from elsewhere. I don't know the exact legality of that. But Allen's alleged acts deprived the stores of saleable property altogether.
