I have just been approved by Trainn for my first freebie. I placed my order for a white 30 gb video ipod and they gave me a shipping estimate of Feb. 26. I just wanted to ask people who have already received their ipods how close to their estimate their ipod got shipped.
Thanx

well as you should know they use that as a time that they will try to have it shipped, i got mine the day of the estimated shipping. But so far they have been getting better about it, they do a good job, and then you will get a tracking number and everything, i love mine, i hope you enjoy -)

I got my iPod from YFVi last Friday and it took about 3 days for me after changing to "Shipped". I think FlashiPods is faster than YFVi for some reason though. I never got a tracking number either shrug Congrats!

I got my iPod 1 day before the est. Shipping date. Trainn sends their stuff thru Amazon. It might also depend on how close you live to an Amazon shipping facility also.

My estimated shipping date is Feb. 24th but I'm in Canada.. it won't take longer, will it? ( I'm hoping to have it before the end of the week... that would rock.

I'm sure since your in Canada it should take a bit longer. But if it says the 24th then you should have it by then. If not Monday.

Ah, well it's the 23rd and my status is still "Shipping Soon" so I'm pretty sure hopes of having it tommorrow just went out the window.. maybe by Friday or early next week though, really looking forward to it.

they said that shipping soon means it will be shipped with in 48 hours or status change

Well it has said "Shipping Soon" since I got approved a while ago, and still hasn't shipped. Hopefully they shipped it this afternoon because I know they do work on Wednesdays and just didn't update it with a tracking number, hopefully anyways... I wanted my iPod for the weekend.

Now it says shipped on my status page. How long will it take to be on my doorstep now?

jdjohnson3

23-02-2006 05:37:55

well with in a few hours you'll get a tracking number i think its 2 day so about 3 days, the tracking number will be on the status page as a UPS logo and click o it and there you go

My status says Shipped now too but I'm in Canada so maybe they don't supply me with a tracking number? Well, hopefully I end up getting it today or Monday even if they don't post a tracking number.

just send a support ticket and ask Alan i know a few people had the same problem

acer1478

23-02-2006 19:11:05

They take forever replying to the support tickets though. By the time Alan replies i'll probably have the ipod.

23-02-2006 19:27:28

um sometimes its fast, i get replies in a few hours sometimes a day, never had to wait any longer than that and ive sent about 25 or so of them

Well it's early Monday morning and didn't receive it on Friday so I'm like praying that it'll come today because I haven't received a tracking number from Trainn, I'll just hope I suppose.
