It should work IF YOU'RE SHIPPED. I was STV on my Mini for a week before it actually shipped....

What about OC? I have a tracking number from them, but where do I go to use it? Lol, this is my first OC item. I know I already asked this in the OC forum but I'm getting antsy and want to know where my camera is. Plus I'm not making a new topic, just hijacking D

Try UPS, that's where all of my OC orders have shipped from (iPod and Nintendo DS).

AHH! Oh my goodness, it's not only shipped but it's supposed to arrive today! Jeez, a good thing I emailed OC otherwise I wouldn't have found this out at all. Thanks guys. I wonder what time it will get here... it's already 2 pm EST.

Google the tracking number;) Copy-paste it, and it should recognise it as a tracking number and send you to the correct page)

Yeah, when OC STVs, you're usually shipped. Basically, the week after you place the order, you should receive it that Tuesday-Thursday.

So, when gratis STV's it might not be shipped yet?

That's correct, I was STV for a week on MiniMacs before I showed up on DHL.

Good to know... I'll just keep checking DHL. Got the page and settings bookmarked.... he he

Damn PC.. had to replace a power supply in it last night... it knows the Mac is coming very soon.

Hehe. My PC is still sitting here, and I use both. I should get a KVM Switch, it's a pain in the ass to switch the monitor cables and keyboards between both. I figured out that I could fit 20 Mac Minis into my Sony PC ). It's small. My ONLY complaint is that the SuperDrive is so DAMNED LOUD. The computer is whisper-quiet, my PC is like a jet or prop plane, and my Mini sounds like you're riding in the cabin of a luxury car (i.e. no noise). Then the superdrive sounds up and ruins everything (.

I was going to do the superdrive upgrade, but I'm looking at getting an external firewire DVD burner. That way I'll have a DVD reader and a DVD burner to make "archival backups" of my DVDs.

Same with an external drive... looking at getting a 300gb here this summer. Wish i could afford it now, but getting other stuff for this will eat up some money.

I still think it's cool you were able to do the upgrade... way nice!

I'm getting so anxious. I know that with DHL, they do the business deliveries in the morning because they /have/ to be there by either 1030am or Noon. Then most normal customers receive their packages from 1-3pm. I've never received a shipment from UPS before but I think their setup would be similar. That's why I'm getting anxious about my camera not being here yet! Argh. Just ignore this if it bothers you, I needed to vent.

Watch it come here 10 minutes after I post this p

so you put your order number in the "Shipping Reference" field on DHL...click the "Receiver" radio button...and enter your zip? then search?

that's what i've been doing, but I noticed the Customer Number field, just wondering if that is where u are supposed to put the order #.

No, it's not on DHL it's on UPS, that's my whole point.
