Title: iPod Warrenty
Post by: iago on February 22, 2005, 01:46:26 PM
Many of you might know (from my whining, mostly) that my iPod isn't working.  Well, I filled out the application for warrenty repair on the weekend.

Today, I received a package from Purolator (shipping company) -- apparently, Apple overnighted this box to me.  I thought it felt empty, so I opened it up and found a note and packing foam.  It turns out, they shipped me an EMPTY BOX WITH FOAM overnight!

One of the instructions:
2. Remove the large piece of foam inside the box.  Insert your ipod. Replace the foam.  Close the box.  (edited a little for brevity)

I never laughed so hard!! :D

Don't you need to tape the box? Or do the contents magically stay inside?

Say the box they sent you was missing the required tape and/or instructions, and they need to mail you another, this time complete, setup.

If you actually thought about my post, you'd see the irony.

Haha, they forgot to include the box.  "You guys only airmailed me a tag that says "airmail" and the instructions, no box!"
