Finally! I got notification from Apple this evening that they will be replacing my 1st gen nano. I had to verify serial number, but other than that they said they will send me packing materials and instructions to send it back and they will send me a replacement. They didn't say what they would replace it with (refurbish 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen...). Anyone have an inkling?
iPod nano
My wife just got her replacement, it is a 6th generation Ipod Nano and it is very nice.
My replacement has been shipped and I think it will arrive today, however they sent me a tracking number, 10 digits but not where I can track it, nor does it say what company will ship it. Any clues?
What country are you in? They seem to be using UPS in the UK, Ireland and the States
In Italy, Spain and Germany it seems they are using normal mail and not UPS anymore.
In Switzerland they use UPS, but I would prefer standard mail system as the UPS guy may come between 09:00 and 19:00... So I don't want to take a day off for that because I work from 08:00 to 19:00...
Well I'll see if he try to come today and I hope he was smart enough to put it in the "milk" box just under the mailbox...
Crossing my fingers :)
they have your mobile number, so they can call you and ask you if they can leave the package on the mailbox. crossing also my fingers for you!
Submitted my request 11/14.
UPS envelope rcvd 12/22.
Dropped nano off at UPS 12/23.
On 1/8, Rcvd email stating replacement small sq nano has shipped as of 1/7.

Sweden, I sent my ipod with UPS but I have no clue what it will arrive with. Probably UPS aswell.
I checked my old tracking number from and it doesn't match the new one, but then I saw: my old tracking number (and all other from UPS it seems) start with 1Z(Letter)(Digit)(Letter)(Digit) this followed by 10 digits, those 10 digits begin with an 8 which both my old and new tracking number got. So it's for example 1ZA1B28111111111. They just didn't send the first part before the 10 digits. Just some theorycrafting π
Ah nice, then there's still a chance my ipod can arrive today if they deliver from 0900 - 1900!
Wll folks I finally got my Nano back.. just over six weeks but I got a shiny new 8gb Nano touch.. Result.
Ours was finally shipped back to us, approx 8 weeks after shipping the original one back to Apple.
We recieved a 6th Gen Nano back instead of the 1st Gen we submitted. This is admirable of Apple to replace with the newest available, but the products are very different!
My fiance had a rake of accessories (all Apple original), such as cases, arm band etc and None of these will fit the 6th Gen model. In addition, it will no longer charge in the iPod dock we use, and when sitting in the cradle for this, its so small that half the screen is covered up.
Apple usually have great customer service, so I called them up to talk about the cases (I can live with the dock). We were basically told to "get stuffed", and "be grateful". Not exactly what I was expecting.
11/14 to 1/11, Rcvd 6th Gen via FedEx, outside of Boston, MA.
(glad I did not have any accessories for the 1st Gen; just plugs)
I got my replacement nano today. It's an 8GB silver Nano 6th gen! I'm stoked. Thanks, Apple! I love it.
