There should be a code on the box, it will be something like this 1A739FTUW4N the part that tells you the week is highlighted, this information will also be on your invoice from apple
 
Just got this email from apple:

Dear Apple Store Customer,

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store.

We are happy to advise you that your order is now in transit, however, we are experiencing a short delay. We now expect to deliver your order by 11/10/2007.

Your business is very important to us and we regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Kind regards,

The Apple Store

Thanks for telling me something I already know.

Well since the 1.1.1 update even the week 36 and 37’s (ones with the bad screen issue) have apparently been fixed, but I don’t think anyone reported problems with the week 38’s so be happy and enjoy your Touch m8ty!

Also if you look for problems or read threads on here about others peoples problems or suspected problems you will start to notice small defects in your own, so my advice is try and avoid those types of threads :)
 
Yeah, lucky for them I'm off work tomorrow anyway. Still don't have a clue who is delivering it.

Here’s something you can try, go to apple.com (the US site not the UK one) and log in to your account on there, click on “Order Status” and you might have a tracking number on that page, it wont be of much use because it will just be a pre-assigned tracking number and not linked to any item yet but it should give you an idea of who will be bringing your iPod Touch, if you get stuck just ask :)

Yeah I've tried that already, it still says:

In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly

Apple?

Crapple, more like :rolleyes:

Ah yeah, I've got one of those numbers. What do I do from there?

Well is the number like mine (18 digits?) if so that means you items is shipping with UPS 1Zw7V176 (apples account number) 68 (service level) 57689766 (package number), service level 68 is “Standard” I think,

If its not an 18 Digit number then its not shipping through UPS

Yeah it is a similar number to that, cheers.
 
hmm weird ... mine is going through TNT international express :S ... or does it change to UPS when it gets to the UK ... although the TNT website says its delivering it to my delivery city (Liverpool)

I think TNT seem to deliver any direct orders, whereas UPS deal with any orders that have 2 or more parts to merge together in the UK.

Could be wrong though.

ah well .... at least its not royal mail ! ....

btw mine was dispatched on monday/tuesday and is supposed to get to me by friday :O

is this even possible lol ? .... i do know that TNT have a warehouse in Liverpool though. (i checked on their website)
 
Awesome. Had to enable Personal Web Sharing under the FireWall tab before it worked. Shame that it's WEP only and no WPA.

Thanks for the tips! Now all I've got to do is get hold of a Touch :)

You need to share your internet connection (from within System Preferences). I told my Mac Pro to share Ethernet #2 (which is plugged in to my cable modem, via a router) and made sure that the "Airport" option was selected. Make sure you have an Airport network set up and you should see it from within the Wi-fi settings on your touch.

You can use the same method to share the connection with a Nintendo Wii.
 
Has anyone got an Apple shipped iPod yet ?

I ordered mine from Apple who say it shipped on the 30th (via Walsh Western Ltd) and is estimated between the 17th and 23rd of October - I don't understand why it's to spend nearly a month in the back of a Transit van.
 
Is anyone having problems getting status from Argos? they tell me that it might be delivered on Friday but if not then I will get a phone call. Aren't they meant to call you beforehand to confirm delivery date? not just to hang around waiting on the off chance that they 'might' deliver. The letter says delivery by 12th October. I'll hit the roof if I get a call of another delay as it's my birthday on the 13th.

Hi mate.

Mine is due tomorrow, so will let you know if it arrives. Mine was shipped on the 29th also by walsh western. However i contacted walsh western and they said they do not ship apple products? So i dont know about that.

With the long delivery times, remember its shipping from China and they just had a Golden Week holiday, so everything is delayed. I hope you get your touch soon :)

Nice to hear that the iMac’s and Touches that were ordered together are starting to arrive, did apple update your shipping information or are you just using the tracking number from the “order status” page?

You’ve get me all excited now, think I will go check mine :D

Nope no update with mine, looks like im still waiting for the 15th/16th to roll round

hey i ordered my touch last friday night, but i just want to know which delivery date should i trust... because i got emails saying it shouldnt of even been dispacted till 16-19th of october and shipped to me by the 22nd i think. But when i log into the apple online account i get a message saying its arriving on friday :S... i have the tracking information by TNT and it shows that its already left the factory and is on the way :S

Hey, nope nothing updated on my page but i did receive an e-mail telling me that the delivery would be later than the expected 9-10th which only came last night so bit obvious. To check i just put my order no. in UPS's tracking system.

I really hope it comes tmoz, got busy day but free all day Friday so i can do my review too, check out on youtube i guess. Ill do a imac/touch review which i can use for my media production course so shud be good hopes! Ill post the link once im sorted! Excited to get my hands on imovie 8 too.

Start looking at getting a new camcorder once this arrives, thinking of the sony hdr-sr1, hopefully pricedrops this year so ya neva kno!

Anyway shall update soon, wish me luck!

i would say any date is possible with apple, i've got an e-mail saying it will arrive on the 14th (a Sunday) when i'm sure all currier services are closed, if you did get information saying it would be later rather then earlier take that as the date m8ty (my info on the apple site still says the 9th-10th for delivery too).
