yeww! what would this hosting have to offer lol? currently i get 10GB of space + 100GB of traffic free per month! not that i use that much, having a server on home turf would give a nice performance improvement!

I can't really say in here mate, the admins will boot me for advertising. Check the website, for plans, but we usually just make up what ever the person wants / needs. Most of our plans are aimed at the average user who only ever uses like 20mb of their space anyway. Not many peeps ever use more than that. Nerds yes, average peeps, no.

We don't oversell our space or bandwidth hence we don't offer crazy plans where - "I've gone crazy, all disk space and bandwidth must go! Due to a shipping error, I have too much disk space and bandwidth, and I am smashing prices. Its all gotta go!"

P.S - The servers are in the states anyway.

Or - we would show you your website, but there is a worldwide shortage of video cards so you cant see it until sometime in January.

Hi Guys, So I've returned my i7 27" with the yellow tinge. Apple has received it. Does anyone know what happens now? Is a new order for the replacement machine created for me or am I supposed to do something? I'll call Apple in the morning but thought I'd check with you guys in the meantime. :confused:

thanks for alllowing me to bring this thread back on topic... :D

I also returned mine at the start of the week. Initially they told me it gets processed within 24hrs and a new one ordered. I called them after they received it but got told "we have received it and will forward the request to the ordering team". She seemed to suggest that I will get an email when it ships but her tone didn't fill me with confidence and she had such a strong accent I could barely understand her...

Things sometimes just take the wrong turn.
I cancelled my brilliantly discounted Myer order, went with Apple, got a dud iMac and sent it back and while I wait for replacement the original Myer orders seem to be shipping earlier than expected...bummer

Bugger! Hope you get one of the later build machines and it works out.. Im guessing Apple have a lot of refurbing to do with all th emachines coming back... probably choking up the airport aswell with incoming logistics!
 
I have just got off the phone talking to Apple re my order. The lady somewhat reluctantly agreed to look up where my ordered i7 qc was located - still not
received in Oz yet - expected early next week.
I asked about the tracking number given me by  and she said it didn't mean anything to her. (possibly given as some form of tracking to Oz).
She thought my machine would be going to Victoria (thats Myers ordering office in Melb) and then via TNT to Adel.

Having been shipped on 14th dec I'm beginning to wonder if this is not some
ruse to quieten down all the negative comments.

Crikey, when i called them they rudley told me to call DJ's...

Yep, they seem to enjoy over estimating times, that way you get a good feeling when it comes earlier. They are kind of like the inlaws who think it would be a "special suprise that you would enjoy" if they turned up on your doorstep to stay with you for a few weeks, leaving you no time to pick up all your dacks and pornos let alone stock the fridge..

It's cool, I spoke to Apple this morning and they said my replacement is on the way. They gave me a TNT tracking number, but that isn't in the system yet.
Due to arrive on the 23/12. Fingers crossed that this one is yellow free :cool:

Big iMac, do you mind telling me how long elapsed between you sending the machine back to them and Apple shipping you the replacement?

I've logged in to my Apple Order status (they've now had the machine for 2 days) and it still reads "Returns Pending"...it doesn't even acknowledge they have received the old machine even though the rep yesterday said they had.

Have PM'd you. BTW, I have never received an email advising me that my replacement had shipped. Just going by what I was told over the phone by Apple.
 
Apple's customer care line continues to amaze me...:(

Just called to check the progress of my replacement (sent to them on Monday/received Tuesday). The guy says I can expect my replacement to ship in....January!!!

Afrter I pushed and said last week I was told replacements are treated as "priority" and won't wait long and that others here have had theirs processed and shipped within 24hrs he kept saying in broken English that "there is high demand".

Funnily enough he offered to maybe cancel my replacement and place a new order as that might come quicker! But even then he couldn't commit...

Seriously Apple, love your products but this is my first contact with your customer care and I'm sick of it already..

I recently filled in an apple questionnaire, and I absolutely blasted them on their customer support, and they deserved everything I wrote too. I love apple products, and would never switch, but this last round of contact with them has been very very disappointing.

A little OT i know, but the one thing id like to know is - is tigers missus up for grabs yet? I reakon id like to tap that with my 3 wood..

Whirlpool forums saying reseller imacs havnt made it down under yet but when they do we might see a new tracking number in our status. Maybe not this week, but next week more than likely. Im on holidays for 3 weeks anyway so ill have my mobile rubberbanded to the side of my head.

:eek:Sounds like that dude had no idea! Did you mention that you knew someone who had returned theirs on Wednesday and has already received shipping info of the replacement?

Yep I did and he just kept reading his script.."there is very high demand sir"....honestly these overseas call centres seem to be the same crap no matter if you're dealing with Dell or Apple.

He promised to "check" after I pushed that I was not happy and call me back. He has now called to say the dates he gave were wrong and it "should be built and shipped in a few days".

Frankly I'm not sure if I should believe it or whether he thought by telling me what I wanted to hear I would rest my case for now.
 
So I have the "Connection Delay. Recovery Actions Underway" on tracking and got this email today from Crapple.

Crapple said:
Dear Apple Customer,

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Online Store.

Due to overwhelming demand, the delivery of your order has been delayed. We anticipate that TNT will deliver your order on 22 December.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay.

Thank you for choosing Apple!

I actually rang tnt before this and that is what they told me as well.

I now have this:

17 Dec 2009 14:03:34 Pudong International Airport Shipment In Transit.

So fingers crossed for Tuesday!
