But you have to give them back the old one eventually, right? :confused:

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.

Well my replacement was ordered on Thursday 29th and arrived today 2nd - that took 5 days including a weekend! It is perfect no scratches or marks on the front - now its charging. I am very impressed with the speed that Apple have sorted this out for me and can't wait to get using my new iPod :D

I forgot to mention, the first one that i got had been opened by customs. However I thought they had just opened the brown outer cardboard box. When my new iPod arrived today I took it out the brown box and the actual iPod packaging was shrink wrapped - my first one was not! This makes me wonder what customs actually did with my first iPod and maybe they broke to click wheel! or maybe the first one just wasn't shrink wrapped?
 
Well I am in Canada and mine got delayed as I mentioned earlier. I called and they said it would ship in 5 to 7 business days.

I went away for the weekend to find that it has been shipped and I should receive it on Wed. I am excited.

I wonder if anyone else from canada who has also been experiencing the delays has had theirs shipped now?

exact same thing happened to me... expecting it on Wednesday as well... hopefully it doesn't come all scratched up...
 
Yeah i really hope it dosn't as well. I was away for the weekend and missed all the recent news. I take it this has been happening to people?

Same with mine. When mine got delayed the third time I called up to cancel, but they told me I couldn't because the order was being processed, which usually means its going out soon. The guy gave me a discount instead, to $374CAD so I said I would wait.

Finally, it should be here tommorow. :rolleyes: Hope after all this our iPods don't come damaged!!!
 
My CompUSA in Reno has them too!

BOOYA I got mine!

Canceled the online order cuz my local store had em. I love it!!


I just picked up a 20 Gb model from the CompUSA in Reno. My brother is still waiting for the one he ordered from Apple. HA HA! :D I was extremely lucky to be able to nab one of the Airport Express Base Stations as well. I don't know if there are any more available for sale. The new iPod and Airport Express rock! I need to get some sleep since I've stayed up late playing with my new toys. Later.
 
Whoo it arrived this morning, on the same truck as the brand new version of Swift 3d Version 4 that I won in April haha.

The first thing I did is start charging the ipod, is this right? I was going to wait till I had a full 100% charge before loading it w/ tunes.

Since my music collection is on my pc, I will probably hook it up to that for music transfer so i know I should be doing this on a fat32 partition. Will the ipod software automatically do this when I install it on a pc or is it something i have to reconfigure on the ipod itself.

I hope the Cheat and discomonkey got theirs as well.

It arrived with no scratches, well there was a light one on the back but I hard to shine it in the light to kinda see it, I wouldnt really call it a scratch. There was another imperfection on the front but it was just some sticky glue stuff from the wrapper around it, it came off with some goo gone and looks perfect, so I was happy :D
 
Ordered 2 August with original ship date of 4th August

4th August receive email and ship date pushed back to 6th

Check apple online stores order status and ship date is 8th




woo!
 
WOW. I'm really impressed with Apple right now. After obsessing over which iPod--if any--to buy, I took the plunge and ordered one yesterday (Friday, August 6) around 4 pm PST. By the time I got home from work at 10, I found an email was in my inbox confirming that the order was being processed.

And this morning, I got an email around 9:45 am PST saying my personalized iPod shipped today! We'll see how long the beaut takes to arrive, but I've got a pat-on-the-back for Apple no matter what. Shipped in less than 24 hours!
