Some Chinese factory just after the last coat of lead-based paint has dried.
Seriously though, I thought it was Shanghi?
Lucky you as well, you got tnt, UPS are ****ing useless.

Yeah they certainly are.
Nearly EVERY apple product we have had shipped via UPS has managed to spend 5 or 6 days lost in transit.
Our last macbook, spent 10 days flying between UK / Germany / Ireland back and forth before they finally got the right airport in Ireland....
It was brain wrecking...

lol.
My Apple keyboard was the last thing that got shipped via UPS. I missed them, so I rang the number it told me to and arranged to pick it up the following business day (This happened to be monday) since they don't work weekends.
I got to the depot on Monday evening (turns out you can only pick it up between 5-7pm) to find they had no record of me, no one had faxed any details through since Thursday and they had just sent it back out on a van to my house.
Of course, as I was there trying to collect it there was no one home. I flipped and the delivery driver waited at my house 30mins until I got home to sign for it. 🙂
Hope the same guy doesn't deliver my touch. He'll prolly kick it up my drive. 😱

New iPods are leaving from Shanghai, China.
I'd rather have UPS deliver my stuff than FedEx any day (but I'm in the states). FedEx annoys the hell out of me - they'll let my package sent in a facility for 5 days and then bring it half way across the country in 12 hours. They never deliver ahead of schedule.
I ordered my iPod classic after the keynote and it came in Friday. UPS rocks. Also, UPS tends to deliver well ahead of their scheduled delivery date. But like I said, I'm in the states so maybe it's different elsewhere.
