iPod Replacement

[Private_Shon]

My iPod had a problem with the hard-drive and i took it to the apple store, they said their going to give me a new one for free becuase it wasen't worth fixing. I'm just wondering if anyone who got theirs replaced, did u get a whole new set of power and computer wires and a new box? or did they just give u a new iPod. and if they do just give u an ipod how would they package it?

I would assume they would give you a fully boxed brand new iPod with everything in the box.

i guess so but why would they have to order it? becuase at the same time i saw other people buying iPods and the sales person went inside the shop somewhere and took them 1. Isen't it illogical to order 1 when u have stock? or is it something about finaces and money stuff?

Its probably the same as rma'ing a motherboard they give you the ipod and your old wires back.

but i haven't given them any wires, all i gave them was an iPod with nothing else,

If they order it, its because they have to account for their stock. If they order you one specifically because its a replacement, then they don't have to account for it because they're not keeping it to be sold.

well, yesterday i got it back, they only gave me a brand new iPod with a the "don't steal music" plastic over it and a mini plastic bag the size of the iPod, and bubble wrap. Thats it.

It is probably a referbished iPod...manufacturers almost never give you a brand new product when it breaks. They send the broken one in to get referbished and they give you one that has already been referbished. I don't like replacements on warrenty cause you don't know how well someone took care of it before it was returned.

By the way Private_Shon.... Your sig is WAY too big. I'd take care of that sucker before the SigSanta does... And he's not nice when it comes to sigs :laughing:
