I don't mean to be rude, but how do you know this with such certainty? Are you going off the fact that it's already Monday in China? Or have you talked to a FedEx rep or something?
FedEx website says it. I called FedEx, they said it. Called Apple, they said that they have been contacted by FedEx informing them of all the calls complaining about this.
I have a couple of questions, I hope you guys don't think they are stupid.
First, what is "Int'l shipment release" mean? I got that at 12:44pm.
My next may be an obvious one. Do they ship on sundays? I would assume the answer is no, but I just wanted to ask to be certain.
Thanks!
Can anyone answer this? Thank you
Info Here for Multiple Relpies and Questions.
Ryan: There is a delay, and no more shipments will go out until atleast monday, but no one in domestic knew of the delay.
Mesmisis: No, they do not ship on Sunday, for sure, and Internation Shipment Release, means that this package is going through Customs, and is receiving clearance to travel into the US from China. This is normal and you should have no issues.
Of course me, I wont be getting mine for a while from the looks of it.
So, again calling Apple I go, pc out for the night guys
Ya I have had a bunch of different stories. I dont know what to beleive.v
OKay, one: Blurred, I talked to 8 FedEx REPS to be sure, and they all said that the last flight out for the weekend was at 11:15 Am, Sept 29th(as displayed on FedEx) So until maybe Sunday, or most defianmetly Monday morning, NO shipments are going out. But then on TOP of that, there is national holiday, and two reps confirmed a delay, but coul not tell me how long, and directed me to the IPD: International Priority Trace Dept.: 1-800-455-4588, and can be contacted Monday thru Friday, and never is answered by a machine. I am going to call Apple First thing tommorow and demand more compensation because I wont get it for like another week.

okay, well guys, looks like our little friends are split up. Shipment Exception in this case means that my ipod got to the airport after the aircraft left for Alaska, so, my ipod wil not ship until either Sunday evening, or Early monday morning. I forgot to ask how long it will take, but still, our little guys are split up now. I am sitting rotting in Shanghai, and you guys are already over the ocean. lol, well, actually, unless it doesnt update, then ur the same place, but I am assuming that since it updated at 11:15 and said left origin, that means that last night(the 29th in China) at 11:15, the last plane for the weekend for the mainland left. Thats why it says in transit for you guys. But since my ipod was picked up at 11:47, it missed the last plane out and will be stored at FedEx Shanghai until tommorow night or monday morning. So guys, it was fun while it lasted, but I am so frgging sad this happened. Apple is so retarded, I should call now and say since you shipped a day late it wont get here until after my scheduled time, and get compensated. But I hope you guys enjoy your ipod touches, I know you will, and I will send u guys a message when mine gets shipped in a few days. Tell me more about updates with ur guys' tho. It was fun, but no more......doesnt=
TechDude, that sucks man! I was hoping our iPods were gonna fly together, was kinda curious which would come quicker, Canada or NY. Guess now we'll never know. My iPod tried to stop the plane for his friends I tell ya! LOL Mine now shows on FedEx as arriving in Alaska at 1:58PM. Definitely call Apple and get some cash refunded for your trouble. I wonder if they're still gonna give me $50 back as they said they would. They never said it was a condition of it arriving by Oct 2nd but then again I'm not exactly due for a rebate if it arrives as scheduled. Then again, I ordered mine on launch day and lots of others got it weeks ago. Hmm... I guess we'll see.
Oh, I do not want to hear it. Mine is right down the road from me in Nashville, TN. Called asking if I could pick it up, they said they couldn't do that. It's not coming until Monday. Less than 5 miles away but so many hours away!
I feel sorry for all you guys with the delays. I am very anxious my self. I live in Nashville, TN. My Ipod is less than 5 miles away, but I am not getting it until Monday...so but seems so far!

lucky. just in case none of your read my earlier posts, this si the story:
my ipod was being brought among many otehr ipods. Turns out something happend. Itdidn't move outside of Kunshan, and it didnt say left origin, oh, lucky me, it said shippin exception!
called FedEx, guy didnt know anything. called a diff guy. this guy knew a lot.
it turns out that thanks to Apple being late with giving the palet with my ipod on it to the FedEx truck, oh, about 20 minutes later then scheduled pick up, my ipod got to the airport 20 MINUTEES AFTER THE LAST FRIGGING PLANE LEFT FOR THE US. AND ON TOP OF NOT BEING ABLE TO LEAVE CHINA TIL MONDAY, IT AINT GUNNA LEAVE TIL MAYBEEEEEEEE THURSDAY, BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE IS CHINESE NATIONAL HOLIDAY. I was already compensated once for confusion and Apple's fault in giving it to FedEx late, but I NEED TO CALL AGAIN BECAUSE OF STUPID APPLE, I AIN'T GETTING MY IPOD TIL MUCH AFTER THE DELIVERY DATE, WHICH I WOULD GET IT ON, EVEN THO IT DIDNT LEAVE CHINA YET, BECAUSE OF FRIGGIN HOLIDAY!!! Apple is gunna pay, and they are going to pay big, ill keep posted what occurs, I am going to call in a few hours, once I get my errands done.
If anyone thinks what happened is bs, and I should be compensated, let me know!
I'm in the exact same boat as you man. I appreciate all of you taking the time to call FedEx and find out what's really going on. And yes, I definitely think you, and all of us who have been screwed over so royally by Apple should be compensated in some way. They may be a multi-billion dollar company, but that doesn't change the fact that they're treating their loyal customers like s*** with this iPod touch release.
Mine was about an hour and a half away in Indiana and this morning i go to the site and its in Tennesse WTF. I'm sure there's an obvious explanation for this, I just wish I knew what it was.
Mine is currently in Tennessee also! I am pretty happy cause I am not that far away from Tennessee!
Although, before, it said estimated Ship Date: Oct 1-2. I called Fed Ex and the voice recorder said Oct. 8th. I talked to an actual person, they said they didn't know why it said the 8th and that it will be delivered by the 2nd. I just checked my track and it says the 8th...Who should I believe!?

Holy freaking crap, techdude13, give it a rest. You've got every other post on this stupid thread to begin with, and the fact that you type IN ALL CAPS doesn't help get your message across. All caps, aside from the sans-serif font, makes these posts a nightmare to read anyways. Just calm down, stop getting pissed off, and wait.
That goes for you, everyone else. You can't speed up your order, calling Apple isn't going to make the plane from China fly faster, and you're not going to file a lawsuit or anything because there was a typhoon that Apple couldn't control going on. Just be patient!!

It was nothing to do with a typhoon. It's that Apple didn't make a good product to start with and therefore held things up remedying their mistakes(ie bad screen). Now they didn't have the foresight to look ahead at their calendars to see that there is a holiday in China holding these iPods up even more. Therefore, we're mad that we were told we're getting a product that we're paying $100's of dollars for, late!
You can't be serious. First of all, the screen thing was easily remedied by a software update, if you read any thread but this one. Second, Apple releases products when the products are ready. Think of what would have happened if Apple waited until after the holiday to ship the Touches. Oh, you people all would've been squirming in your computer chairs... And you got your shipping money back if you paid for it, and even so, the Touches weren't even supposed to ship until the 28th, so you're going to get yours right on time anyways. By the way, $400 really isn't a lot of money if you think about it. Not in the long run.
Sorry, and my update, and last long post, (sry bout the long ones)
Okay, well, i understand, i was just p.o. thats why I used CAPS. btw, my status online says the 8th too now. yes, it shipped about 30 minutes ago from shanghai(I am very happy cus it wasnt supposed to ship til tommorow) I am going to call and confirm the delivery. I got compensation for the reason that Apple was late in giving my shipment to FedEx. The man looked it up on record and saw the delivery truck to Shanghai was on time, but Apple gave them the palet late. So, Apple gave me $50 online credit. As of now, my order is shipping, I am happy, and I am sure everyone else is too. The IPT is a great product, it was jsut Apple that screwed some stuff up, so, if anything, it isn't FedEx's fault. i am sorry for the long posts, this should be me last of the long ones. As of now, this is my current status, and again, calling about the delivery date:

Does this mean that it has not gotten on a plane for the US yet?
mine is in transit from indianapolis, but no update since sat at 4pm. anyone think it will get to new york by mon or later?
Absolutely right; to those denying there is a typhoon, look at any weather site..that typhoon stopped FedEx's planes from leaving China a week ago, and the delays in moving cargo have resulted in some iPods taking a few days to ship. If you check flight records from Friday, you'll see that FedEx flew 5 planes from Shanghai to Anchorage - up from their normal 2 per day. FedEx and Apple have been working hard to resolve these problems, even though a typhoon isn't under their control. I agree that it is annoying to wait so long for your touch, but everyone needs to remain calm and look at the big picture. Apple isn't even obligated to give most of us shipping refunds and credits; most of our orders did ship by the 28th anyway. Every Apple rep I've dealt with has been very friendly and professional, and I've never waited more than 5 minutes on hold waiting for a rep. Compare Apple's service to that of other computer makers, and then complain about it.
