iPod Still haven't received replacement box

Same here....the confirmation email states boxes should arrive in 2 days. Guess its time to call Apple? Usually recalls are seamless...
Thats crazy that they'd run out of boxes so quick, back on topic I haven't received my box either and I applied for a replacement on day one.
Apple gave me the option to take the ipods to UPS and allow them to box it.
(I called them)
I did and mine were sent and charged to Apple's UPS account.
They cancelled the shipping boxes but they still arrived.
I have had one "Product replacement pending" since Nov. 19th.
Just FYI.

So funny that Apple is making such a big deal about how the Nano is shipped and why they prefer we use their shipping materials. Yet I would bet most of us had used our Nano's during activities like jogging or biking, so I think the Nano can handle being shipped without "special" packing procedures besides some bubble wrap and a shipping envelope.
My status has been saying "Empty box shipped" for a while but I've yet to receive anything. I realise there's a shortage and stuff but is anyone experiencing the same thing?
Finding it difficult getting through to Apple to talk to a human being so not going to waste anymore time or cost in 0844 charges.

I initiated the replacement request on November 15th, and just received the replacement packaging a few days ago. It wasn't a box at all; it was a yellow padded envelope with a UPS shipping label and a ziploc-type bag inside.
So Apple is actually replacing these with refurbished 1st Gen Nano's? Isn't it more expensive for Apple to refurbish the 1st Gen Nano, instead of just giving us a current Nano?
An 8GB Nano costs less than the 1st Gen 4GB Nano did. Apple would save money and we would get more storage and better features.

Never mind. My status just went to step 3 "Product replacement pending" so all is well.

Look on the homepage of this site. You'll clearly see that 6 gen Nano's are being delivered, and there are posts in this very forum about it.

I just found this, but thanks. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/apple-reportedly-swapping-recalled-ipod-nanos-for-six-gen-counte/
How are they deciding what color we get? I'm sending in a black Nano and really don't want pink in return.

I talked to a gentleman from Apple on the phone and he said they will either ship out silver or black. So far people are getting silver. He said they likely won't send any other color because black and silver are good for both sexes. He didn't explicitly say that it wouldn't be good for both sexes, but he was definitely implying it.
