I never really care much for Apple product since the Apple II, but twice recently they proved me wrong.

2. Dec 14, the ipod delivered to my door.

Apple +2 : iGas 0

I have sent things over seas in the past (air service), and it normally take any where from 2~7 weeks to get there. And, Apple amazed me by moving it from China-US-Canada to me in 5 days.

You should be impressed by FedEx, not Apple.

 

[darkxshade]

Shouldn't you be more impressed with Fedex than Apple?

 

[masterxfob]

this. apple still sucks.

 

[lxskllr]

I get stuff from Sweden all the time within 5days, no Apple required. UK is generally a touch longer, taking around 7 days.

 

[waggy]

so apple shipped it?

 

[iGas]

so apple shipped it?

Yes, Apple shipped it.

And, yes I'm impressed by FedEx as well.

I am not impressed that the op is impressed.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Yes, Apple shipped it.

And, yes I'm impressed by FedEx as well.

But...you're more impressed by Apple...because FedEx shipped a product from Shen Zhen to Victoria in 4 days...?

 

[WelshBloke]

I am not impressed that the op is impressed.

I'm quite impressed that you're not impressed that the op is impressed.

Steve Jobs' magic that is added by Chinese workers to each apple product rubbed off onto Fedex and made them deliver his ipod so fast.

Boeing makes some of the planes that allowed Fedex to fully deploy that magic.


And the pilot, he was at 100% after a complete breakfast.

Thank Breakfast!

Music is the magic that makes the world go round. The iPod flew to you so fast because there was a lack of music, a vacuum the iPod came to fill.

I'm not a huge fan of Apple's products, and I hate their software, but I do like that they contribute to the american israel political action committee. You're a fan too, right iGas?

 

[Tweak155]

I like Apple iPod's its just the songs that rip you off.

 

[olds]

I'm quite impressed that you're not impressed that the op is impressed.

I'm unimpressed that you're quite impressed that boat is not impressed that the op is impressed.

I love you guys. You know how to play the game.

This whole ipod deal was obviously a pressing issue.

Sorry, my bad.

weird, dp.

 

[Terzo]

Sorry, my bad.

Eh, I shouldn't be making fun. I feel like over half of my recent posts have had some sort of obvious error. I blame being tired and being too lazy to proof read.

lolwut

We have these two companies called FedEx and UPS.. They deliver packages around the world..

They have two main levels of international service:

UPS Worldwide Expedited, which is a 3-5 day service
UPS Worldwide Saver, which is a 1-3 day service
FedEx International Economy, which is a 3-5 day service
FedEx International Priority, which is a 1-3 day service

At work, we have factories in China, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, India, Argentina, etc.. and we operate with a very tight timeline. We rely on these guarantees, both sending and receiving, on nearly a daily basis. If our shit isn't there by 10:30AM on the 3rd or 5th day its due, depending on the service, the shipment is free(unless the delay is due to custom's issues).:thumbsup:

Edit: Ah, I didn't realize that you mentioned FedEx in your original post. If they had used UPS, and they sent it via WorldEase so it went through Kentucky instead of Alaska, you probably would have gotten it a day earlier.

I'm unimpressed that you're quite impressed that boat is not impressed that the op is impressed.

I'm extremely impressed with the fact that you are unimpressed with him being quite impressed that Olds is not impressed that the OP is impressed.
