Hello there
Yesterday I ordered a brand new black iPod with my student discount. As I'm sure you're all aware, it cost me alot :P When my order was processed, I was quite dismayed to find that the estimated ship date was October 31, which as you can tell is a long time away, especially when I spent over than $400 on the product (aside: Canada sucks.) I realize that the iPod is probably in very high demand right now, so I know it won't be shipped within 24 hours--the website says it ships within 5-7 days--but I was wondering if getting the laser engraving was the right thing to do. I opted for it because it was free, of course. However, does laser engraving add a significant amount to order time, or should I just not worry about it and get the iPod when it gets here?
[edit] Also let me say that I've already tried the "look in stores option"--the closest apple store is two hours away and apparantly they're out of stock.
