HELP: Does amazon ship ipods in apple packaging?? If ordering from amazon, do the ipods come in pre-packaging from Apple, or does amazon unpack them and rewrap them in their own packaging?

I ordered mine on September 2nd and it hasn't shipped yet either. It was estimated to ship this week but still nothing.

Amazon always gives a generous blanket date on pre-released products. In my experience, they always ship within a week of Apple.

I'm sorry I did not see the packaging as it was shipped directly to my mother. I did not order as a gift and did not expect it to be "nicely" packaged. If you're concerned, I'd ship to yourself and put in a nice gift box before giving to someone. My experience with Amazon "gifts" is the note I write is on the shipping label and often the receiver didn't know it was from me. I usually follow up once I know it's been delivered to see if they liked it, and to let them know it was from me:)

Hello Kelly, I have purchase all of my apple products from Amazon (3 machines in the past 3 years). Luckily for me I have had no problems with them. Apple machines warranties could always be cover by taking your computer to the Apple store, and they should not take into account where you bought it from. If you buy it from Amazon you would be saving yourself the state taxes since they always ship out of state in most cases, besides, Amazon does have additional savings from time to time; and if you are a Amazon prime client, shipping is free. You can always buy extra guaranties from either Apple or Amazon at the time of purchase. In my case, I find them very reliable, and have not found a need for them.

I am considering paying full price at Apple Store because I don't know how to appeal to Amazon if I have problems with the iTouch. Also since this is my first iPod I already have a high learning curve and don't need to be loading additional applications.Can anyone tell me about Amazon guarantees?

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

Just get the frustration-free packaging. It's basically just the headphones in their (heavy duty) storage case, in an amazon box with some bubble wrap. I assume the standard packaging involves some plastic and clam shell packaging. Frustration-free is the way to go, as I notice it is cheaper. It is the way I got them. Also -- awesome headset, go for it.

I believe that stores other than the Apple stores won't have them for a while. I went to BestBuy and they told me they didnt think they would have them til December, which might explain why Amazon is on preorder

It is true that those of us who ordered from the Apple Store online have received our MacBook Air computers or they are in transit from Shanghai. But, we ordered within 48 hours of the introduction My local Apple Stores do not have demos yet. Mine will likely arrive before theirs. So, patience, folks. I am pleased to see pre-ordered MacBook Air computers already number 29 in Amazon Electronics.

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady

Amazon has improved packing the terrariums. A few weeks ago I received a terrarium and it was in a box inside another box plus bubble wrap. I have experienced also receiving a broken terrarium but was replaced quickly. Today the packing has improved tremendously!

Was not new. When it went out two months after I bought it, I took it to an Apple store and they me it had been previously sold from an Apple store in November 2012, so was outside their one year warranty. Neither Amazon or the seller would stand behind the product. Spend the extra $100.00 and buy from an Apple store.

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

I would guess it would be similar to pre-ordering dvds, books, etc. In my experience, they tend to ship out the same day of the official release... so when you get it would depend on how you had it shipped (a day or so after). If you must have it immediately... pick up a copy at an apple store the morning of the 26th.

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

I don't think you can get engraved ipods through Amazon. Getting an item engraved is usually pretty cheap at a jewlery shop, though.
