ipod nano recall - time to respond from apple

I called apple last week, and wa actually able to talk to a rep pretty quickly.

I told him that I had sent my ipod back about a month ago and that the staus still just shows "empty Box Sent" he said there were so many of these thinsg beingreturned hat hey are not able o keep up- VERY BELIVEABLE!

He said give it 6--8 weeks or so after I shiped and call again.

I really am not impressed with the ipods that they are using to replace with, but I had long since upgraded from the Nana I returned I wont complain!

Update.

Submitted my request 11/14.

UPS envelope rcvd 12/22.

Dropped nano off at UPS 12/23.

1/8, Rcvd email stating replacement small sq nano has shipped as of 1/7.

I received my 6th generation nano today. Three days after the email saying it was shipped. All in all, I'm impressed with the service.

Would be nice if anybody who makes a post, take a note from his country...
as I know some poeple getting get his new pods in UK and italy also.

I hope I dont have to wait here to much now in Hungary...otherwise here the APRs are handleing the sace, which I think makes it a bit more comlicated :S

I Juso checked the status of my return online and got good news, they evidently recieved my box but now according to the website : "January 6, 2012: Product replacement pending"

I should be getting it soon!

From Apple's site: "You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after we receive your current iPod nano (1st gen)."

Mine has been in the "Product replacement pending" status for 5 weeks, so hopefully I only have to wait another week or so.

Got my replacement today (1/10) in Seattle, WA after submitting a request back in November. Sixth-generation Nano, silver, looks like it might even be new. Screen and case both appear to be free from scratches and scuffs. So despite a bit of a wait and spotty communication, I can't really complain, getting a new (or like-new) Nano to replace an aging 1G.

11/14 to 1/11.

Got my 6th Gen today in MA, near Boston.

Had to be present to sign for FedEx. Could not be held at FedEx location.

Did the Sync, all set!

Also received a 8gb 6th Gen today. Considering I had a refurb 1st gen 2gb bought from ebay for £26, I am more than happy after the two month wait.....

According to an email I recied from apple last week, Fed-Ex shoul be a my door today with my replacemet. I must say to replace an item from I purchased 6 yrs ago Is a prettye sweet deal!

Go Apple!

Love the new tiny product.

Thanks everyone for posting their updates.

i'm from the Philippines. I personally brought my ipod nano to Power Mac, the authorized service center here. at first i was informed that it will ony take 6 weeks. then I came back and I was told that it will take up to 2 months. after 2 months I came back and was told that it will take up to 6 months. but that's not certain yet. it can take longer than that. the reason is that they are having difficulties looking for a replacement battery. and you guys got a 6th gen ipod nano? I envy you.

I sent my old ipod back in mid-December, I Recieved my replacemen two days ago. I applaud apple for their efforts to get all tese ipods relaced.

It took a litle while but was worth it!

I show that my ipod was received on Jan 12th but still no replacement (now Feb 2nd).
