Bummer! I'm sure you'll get a refund on the shipping. It sounded to me like they were offering express shipping (for free) like it was candy.Puget Sound, Washington.
It went to 'in transit' two days ago and hasn't changed. The remote has been "Int'l shipment release" since mid day yesterday. They are somewhere...I'm sure of that.I'm just disappointed that my money for faster shipping resulted in none of it, so I will call Apple and get it refunded.
