did your nano get stuck for "regulatory delays" in China?

lol.. same here.

I've contributed my money.

I got the same message when I tracked my nano! I can't believe its stuck in China! 😟

That stinks Alexis. Well that makes 3 of us now...

Three's a crowd.

Same here. Shipped on 16th, still in shenzhen, probably sitting next to your guys, drinking TsingTao and party hard...

Urrrgggghhhhh.....MY IPOD Nanos are stuck in Shenzhen too. I cannot reach ANYONE at Apple which is quite disappointing. I keep getting disconnected. FEDEX has been spectacular however. They have confirmed that it was a paperwork error on Apple's part and that Chinese customs would not release the mass shipment to FEDEX until this was cleared up. It is the 20th today and I ordered my IPODS on the 14th. They were due to be delivered today. This bites rocks. We should get some serious credit for Itunes for this screw-up.

Hi guys!

Well, mine got to Shanzhan today, I hope it won't want to have a nice time with the other iPods... I'd be really pleased if I got it soon.
Furthermore, maybe you all take comfort in knowing that I had to wait 6 weeks for my iPod mini last year (and that I finally got it 😉 ). So don't even start to wack out unless you're waiting for... well, a lot longer that some days 🙂

I feel with you, good luck for the journey of our iPods...

Have a nice evening.

So i'm a litte more than miffed about this whole thing, especially since I paid extra for the two day shipping. Have any of you tried to call Apple to request a refund for extra money paid to ship it sooner?

Mine says the same thing and i'm getting really aggrivated. Mine is also stuck in Chenhzen and ordered it on Thursday. I hope they get it fixed sometime soon, i just hope it dosen't turn out like that guy up there that waited 6 weeks for his mini.

My Nano was shipped on the 16th, it's the 20th now and it's still stuck in SHENZHEN. I ordered custom engraving as well.

I just called Apple Customer Service and they said that 90% of their calls today were for this issue.

For what it's worth, they're refunding my shipping.

Still no idea when it will arrive. . . .

Hey Robert, what number did you call? I need to do the same so I can get my money back for shipping.

I'm in the same "slow boat from China" and got the same info from FedEx. Today I called Apple, and they let me know that they are being held up in order to consolidate the shipment into a larger pool. Presumably this is to save freight costs.

So far, my nano has been delayed for six days. To make matters worse, I paid up for expedited shipping.

This is a total outrage - I could have bought mine down the street a week ago, but I went for the engraving and now I'm paying for it.

I have already requested a refund of my shipping costs - I suggest all those in my situation do the same, and send apple a complaint while you're at it. It's a shameful way to run a business.

Apple does not build the nano, a vendor does. The vendor declares the value of the shipment, not Apple. The vendor is relatively at this, and it will get better.

Hi Robert:

I called 800 676-2775
