I ordered my iPod the morning it came out, and it was due to ship on the 21st. It got pushed back to the 26th, but thankfully it shipped yesterday (the 23rd). I have a feeling that the Canadians are getting pushed back.. or am I just dillusional. Most of the ppl on here saying there orders were pushed back seem to be CAnadian eh.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah that is the way it seems, I hope it ships at least on monday. At least yours got shipped before the 26th.
It was werid cause my pb shipped out so fast, but heres the frustrating thing. It left for Winipeg last night and I know the next city it goes to is my city, Mississauga. However it has not checked in. So I am guessing it will check in on monday, sit around within my city for a day, then ship to me on tuesday. Three more days seems so lonnng.
I guess I could get my new network set up for its arrival in the meantime.

well, the 22nd has come and gone... and so has the 23rd (the first rescheduled date). it now says the on or before the 27th for me. (in canada... you may be right about canadians getting shafted here).
not that upset though because the ipod mini that i ordered for my gf that was supposed to ship on the 26 of august (7 days after her birthday) has now been shipped already, so i'll be able to get it to her in time for her b-day. woohoo! and my PB was also shipped a week earlier than initally planned.

stupid question
Does the wheel light up like the "old" buttons did cause i liked that in the dark you could read the buttons?

Well, I got screwed for a second time. Ship date got pushed back AGAIN to the 29th, from the 26th, originally from the 22nd.
Someone at customer service is going to get an earful tommorow.

That sucks, i fear something like that will happen to me. My status has been open since wed.
Ahh well My powerbook arrived today.
Get this, here is a story for you all:
Excited, i wake up this morning. Now FedEx estimated the delivery for Tuesday. However, I had a feeling it could possibly ship today, as i knew it was in my city. So sure enough business day starts up, i check the website and its in my city. So i call Fedex.
They tell me it will most likely ship today but theres no gurantee it could be tomorrow.
So anyways I am imptatient and i wait around till 1, and on the fedEx website it hasn't left for delivery, so i figure its not coming but decide to call again, I knoew the Fed Ex place in my city is only a 5 min drive for me.
The lady tells me I will not get it until tomorrow because the package isnt in my city and it has not cleared customs. I had already given her my tracking number, and I told her look at the tracking, it has arrived in my city, how can you say it hasn't. Oh well it still has to clear customs. Look at the tracking results, it cleared in Winnipeg when it came into the country, look at the comment right beside that scan. Hangs up in my face.
Of course I call back and and another lady says i probably won't get it today and there is no way i can pick it up. 10 minutes later the package shows up at my door.
FedEx needs a better tracking system
Well I have something to fool around with until the ipod arrives so this should keep me busy. I hope us Canadians score some luck with the ipod shipping.

well, got another email from apple - date's been pushed back again! originally from the 22nd, to the 23rd, then to the 27th and now to the 30th. it's starting to annoy me... good thing i have the ipod mini and powerbook to keep me busy... but i'd still really like to get my ipod. boo urns.
Awesome!!!! Yet another notice from Apple. My ipod will ship on or before August 8th! The second delay.
I will be calling them first thing tomorrow, this is ridiculus. Im sure my phone call won't do anything about it tho.

Holy crap! This IS getting rediculous! I've already had mine pushed back twice, and if it doesn't ship by tonight, it will have been the third time. Judging by the huge delay you got, I wouldn't be surprised if I get a similar email!
As for calling them, I have done this twice, each time my order was pushed back. It probably does nothing, but I figure I gotta let someone hear about it. The people on the phone aren't helpful at all, they just keep repeating the same stuff over and over like they are reading a script..."we apologize for the delay. The demand has been overwhelming..." etc., etc. What they can't explain is why my order keeps getting pushed back despite the fact I ordered it within an hours of the release, meanwhile people everywhere have already received theirs despite ordered later than I have!!! To top it off, the Canadian Apple Store still lists 1-2 business days as the estimated ship date!!! I mentioned this to them both times, and said they would look into it, but of course it hasn't changed last I looked.
Thank you Apple Canada.
July 19: Ordered custom engraved 40 GB iPid

Just called them, just as I expected "we afre currently exerperiencing a delay with that item, there is nothing we can do at the moment but we will be trying to get your order out in the next 5 to 7 buisness days"
I just dont understand how people ordering theirs after have gotten theirs first, abpple obviously dosn't "fill orders in the same order that they recieve them". Ahh well I hope it ships soon.
After reading TheCheat's post I brought up the 1-2 days thing as well, and they just repeated themselves and didn't seem to care.

I read on thinksecret that people are getting smeared and scratched 4G iPods out of the box. Did any of you had any such experience?

sounds like you're one of the lucky ones... but just check your order status from the apple store website - you can even track the shipment.
btw - a few friends of mine have recieved their 4G with scratches on them too - beginning to scare me.
As I predicted, delayed for the third time. Original ship date of the 22nd, then the 27th, then the 29th, now: August 10th!
I even saw a guy in my Political Theory class today with a 4G which is a slap in the face because I'm usually the guy with the brand new toy, before everyone else catches on and buys one.
I bet I could easily walk down to the local Apple re-seller just down the street and pick one up - the only thing holding me back is that I'm a student so I'm getting the discount from Apple, meaning its only costing me $389 rather than the $429 I'd pay in the store. I have a sneaking suspision its the fact I am getting this discount that my order keeps getting pushed back
Right now I'm on the verge of just calling up, cancelling my order and telling them I'm just going to buy a Dell jukebox instead. (wouldn't happen in a million years, but maybe that will get them to buy me off with a free dock or something)

)Well mine arrived on Wednesday 28th only 5 days after ordering online from the Apple Store, it has an estimate of 2 weeks because I ordered the dock aswell so I was really shocked when I got the shipping notice email.
However it arrived with a strange mark on the front almost like a water mark on the white just under the screen and slightly on the screen, I have read on ipodding.com others with the same problem, also the click wheel was slightly raised at the bottom and not flush with the iPod.
Apple have been great, a replacement was shipped the next day (yesterday) they didnt have to wait to get my old one back first which i expected. So if this one takes the same length of time it should be here Monday or Tuesday with hopefully no defects.

But you have to give them back the old one eventually, right?
Anyway, when you get them, can you post of any physical defects, scratches, and marks on the iPod? I want to go to my AppleCentre store and get one, but I want to know my approximate odds of getting a mark or something on mine. I don't care if there is a slight scratch. I'll probably scratch it heaps, and I don't care for cases to "protect it" because it makes the player thick, and I want to put it in my pant pocket. And besides, there's no point buying something nice if you're going to cover it up.
However, if its a strange watermark, then it'll be visible to me all the time, I'm thinking, so that to me is a big deal.

Yeah the old one has to go back but im still waiting for TNT to call and arrange a pick up date. I will post when I get the new one - hopefully i will be saying "its perfect" BTW there were no scratches on the front or the back of the one I recieved. The water mark was very obvious, I tried gently rubbing it off but it looked like it was underneath. I havnt seen anyone write about that on this site only on ipodding.com where there were a few with these marks on them, so i dont think it can be that big a problem.
I loved the look of the new iPod, go and get one mate. If you have any marks on it you can take it back. There are more people posting that they have arrive and are 100% pleased with them, so i'm sure you won't be unlucky like me!

When they say 7-10 days, do they mean 7-10 weekdays or just 7-10 days? Because I ordered mine on Tuesday the 20th and I'm getting a little worried.
