Sure, put down the store that has the greatest customer service in the world, with amazing prices. Put down the store that got the brand new iPod video, to my door on the 12th day, after Steve announced it? Put down the store that will replace your computer, if you get a single dead pixel? Put down one of Apple's biggest retailers? You would be blown away how many iPods and Macintosh computers are sold through Amazon. I spend lots of money with them, and I am never disappointed. To be honest, you're the first person I have ever heard say something negative about Amazon. However, if you had a bad experience with them, I feel for you, and I'm sorry it happened, but most think they do a great job.

I heartily agree...Amazon is, handsdown, the best internet store. I'm awaiting my black ipod from them which is scheduled to ship 11/31 (I just ordered it yesterday to boot) and most of the time they ship ahead of schedule even when you use the free shipping option.
 
YES.

I have a friend who lives in Dallas. We were talking on Adium today, and he told me he was going in to the Apple store to pick up his Powerbook that had been repaired. I called the store, and they had plenty of 30 gigs in stock, either color.

So he bought one for me, and is overnighting it to me tomorrow. MacMall order cancelled.

Barring a Fed-Ex screw up, I should have it by Friday afternoon.
 
Amazon got the 30 and 60 GB White.

I just placed my order for the 60( lol….very excited). they still don’t have the black Vipod yet.
 
Shipping

Does anybody know how long the "Preparing Shipment" part takes when ordering it from the online apple store.
 
Okay, need some advice.

Here's the situation: bought a new 60GB 4G Photo iPod something like two weeks before the new ones were announced... felt like a schmuck. Got it at Best Buy with the service plan.

Then, last Saturday, it up and died on me. That day marked 30 days since I purchased it. I went in with a smile. They confirmed that it was dead and offered to send it in for service. I nodded and explained that since I was within the 30 days of purchase and wasn't feeling too good about that particular unit, I'd be much more comfortable exchanging it for a new one. They agreed. Hurray!

The catch: They, of course, did not have the 5G ones in stock. So, I got a gift card for the entire amount of the purchase that I can use at bestbuy.com. And here's what stinks: they only have the white ones available at bb.com, and I'm jonesing for a black one. They don't even have them on back order... it just has an icon that says "COMING SOON".

I'm dying over here without my new iPod! Should I keep holding out and waiting for the black one, or just say to hell with it and order a white one?

I faced the same problem in choosing which color, but en the end, I went with the white.

Its apples trademark color, and to me, the black might be a little more prone to scratches.
I don’t know:confused: …….good luck.
 
Yes:

Well, here's the depressing update...

Out of patience, I finally gave in and ordered the white 60GB 5G on Friday from bestbuy.com. Sunday morning, lo and behold, they had the black ones available. Doh!

I called to see if I could switch the order-- it was too late, it was already "in the shipping process". It finally shipped out Monday morning via UPS and will arrive on Wednesday.

Here's the real kicker-- not only do they have the black ones at bb.com, they now have them AT MY BEST BUY STORE! Double doh!

I can take my white one in and exchange it for a black (I was gonna go in anyway to get the service plan), if they last till the white one gets here, but I'm antsy and mad! I'm waiting on one to arrive, and I could go down to the store and pick up the one that I want.

I guess patience is a virtue. Whatever.

BB is USUALLY pretty flexable. Don't open it and go there and ask. The worse they can do is say no.

PS. Amazon STILL does not have black 60GB in stock!!!!!
