Free bumper shipped

I got an email this morning from apple saying my bumper has been shipped. Has this happened to anybody else and do you know how long apple's regular shipping is?

There is no place to write a review on the new bumpers, but be aware that you can only use the cable the iphone comes with when the bumper is on. I have my car charger from my 3g and my bluetooth/iphone cable and they did not connect with the bumper installed. I had to take a knife and scrape around the edge of the bumper for the car charger to fit and no luck with my bluetooth/iphone cable.
FYI, my phone works just fine without the bumper. I don't see a drop in signal or had a call drop.

  • Is anyone else having trouble tracking their free bumper shipment?

    For some reason, I am having the worst time trying to track my free bumper shipment. I got the shipment confirmation e-mail from Apple on 7/30 with an estimated delivery date of 8/6. For the first two days, I got no information when I clicked on the DHL or USPS tracking numbers. Then, on about 8/2, it finally updated to MANIFESTED on 7/30 in Millington, TN. It has since been updating about 24-48 hrs behind, and the estimated delivery date is now 8/9!
    Anyway, now it looks like it's saying it left the Atlanta, GA area on 8/4. I figured I'd get it today since I live in the panhandle of FL 10 miles south of the GA border (about a 4.5 hr drive from Atlanta).
    Out of curiosity, I called DHL this morning. They said it was handed over to the USPS this morning, and I should get in midweek next week! The rep didn't really seem to care when I told her that on-line it says it was a 5 hr ride away, but I had called because the on-line tracking was updating 24-48 hrs behind. So, I didn't want to start anything - I just figured I'd call the USPS! Their automated system says they have no record of the package...ok...so I dialed "0" to speak to a rep, and it told me that "our automated tracking system is up to date, so the option of speaking to a rep is not available at this time!" WHAT?!?!? The USPS tracking website is even more behind the DHL site, but at least there is a record of it there! Here's what I have:
    DHL
    08/04/2010 06:46:00 INTRANSIT FOREST PARK, GA
    08/03/2010 14:20:00 INTRANSIT FOREST PARK, GA
    07/31/2010 14:09:00 SHIPMENT PICKED UP MILLINGTON, TN
    07/30/2010 00:00:00 MANIFESTED Millington, TN
    USPS
    Service(s): Delivery Confirmation™
    Status: Arrived Shipping Partner Facility
    Your item arrived at a shipping partner facility at 2:20 pm on August 03, 2010 in FOREST PARK, GA 30297. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
    To me, it looks like the information infers that the package was handed off to USPS on 8/3!
    Anybody else with this problem? For anyone who has already received their free bumper, how long did it take after the shipping e-mail from Apple for it to arrive?
    Any advice on how to actually speak to someone at the USPS?

    sooo yeah, basically you're reallly impatient and are furious because there may, or may not, be a delay in your free case, even though it's still a day before the 'estimated' delivery date? hrmmmmm
    I would say frustrated, not furious, but impatient, no. I ordered a case before the free case program about a month ago and THAT still hasn't shipped, lol! I already took one business trip with the phone and dropped it quite a few times (lol) and didn't even really get frustrated, but I am about to take another business trip that I leave for on Sunday, so I was beyond thrilled that my bumper was shipping early and scheduled right before I left for my next trip.
    With that said, I am frustrated at the fact that I can't even track my package accurately from not only 1, but 2 entities, lol! I simply called, not because I was impatient, but because I had already been patient for the past week of beyond slow online updates and only when I had seen that it was so close to home a few days ago. So, yes, I can see how it appeared that I was impatient by calling, but at the rate things were updating on-line, I wouldn't know if there was a problem that maybe I could call their attention to until after I left for my trip.
    So, again, I'm just frustrated at the disparity and even complete non-functioning (USPS telephone) of the tracking systems and was wondering if there was any way I could get in touch with a USPS rep. I wasn't frustrated at all prior to this morning. I was extatic, actually! Not even frustrated about it possibly coming late, just that nothing can definitively tell me if that is the case right now, lol!

  • Apple's Free Bumper Program is lagging!

    So I got my iPhone 4 a few days ago, and yesterday I downloaded the free bumper program app. However, when I received my confirmation e-mail it said it is estimated to ship by August 27 and deliver by Sept 1. Did anyone else get a different date?

    It probably takes a while to manufacture and distribute a few million of them.
    Typically, Apple products ship before the promised date so have hope!

  • Free Bumper program ending Sept. 30th

    Hi all,
    just ordered my iPhone 4G yesterday and just wanted to check in on the "Free Bumper" program.
    In the conditions to the program Apple stated that the program ends for iPhone ordered by Sept. 30th.
    My iPhone is bound to be shipped only by mid of October - anybody aware if I still can apply for a free bumper by then?
    Thanks
    Thomas

  • 30 pin connectors doesn't fit the Apple iPhone free bumper

    Well finally I got the free bumper; great it feels so good and really protects the phone... however non of my non-Apple 30 pin cables work with this bumper installed. Do you know if Apple has a 30 pin M-F adapter that I can buy to resolve this problem? Thanks.

    No, but you can use the new cables...what an idea...
    Dear me, that would be nice. Except that my iPhone4 came with a single cable, and I keep a cable in my car, my kitchen, my bedroom, my home office, and my suitcase, plus one at my work office.
    So the options are to carry around a single cable all the time, which is massively inconvenient, or spend $30 each on Apple-branded cables (sending the current cables to the landfill), or to constantly take the case on and off, cursing Apple each time I do so for changing the specs on the cases by an unnecessary millimeter.
    More people seem to be choosing to take a drill/file to the case and expand the port a bit.

  • Free Bumper, UK residents?

    Hi,
    The only way to register for your free iphone 4 bumper at the moment is on apple.com (iphone 4 caseprogram), can UK residents register for the free bumper on here or do we have to wait for the iphone 4 case program to appear on apple/uk?
    Cheers

    If you can't find the app, open apple.com on your iPhone and click on the link for the app

  • Free bumper case when and how?

    Steve indicated that every iPhone 4 owner would receive a free bumper case to hopefully correct the antenna issue. When and how does one receive the case? I must admit that I have only had a few dropped calls. I live in an area that has a weak signal and my 3G had not one dropped call in 2 years!!!

    Apple will offer a free iPhone 4 Bumper or other select cases to iPhone 4 customers. Details on how to order a free Bumper or case will be available soon on apple.com, details most likely this week.

  • I read somewhere that the iPhone 4S owners were going to get a free bumper, can anyone verify this?

    Hi, I read a lot of tech news on Engadget and online and I don't really remember where I recently saw that Apple was going to give us iPhone 4S owners a $15.00 gift card or a free bumper because of the signal or antenna issues that the phone has, can anyone verify this?  And if so, can you lead me, or provide with some information please?

  • Free overnight shipping

    Ok, here goes....  I Edged up on Friday 3/6/2015 at 10am. Free overnight shipping. I get emails with order confirmation and then shipping confirmation with tracking number. Fed Ex tracking initial delivery of 3/9/2015 by 8pm. Monday the 9th comes and goes without a phone. So on Tuesday the 10th I check with Fed Ex and it shows package is still "In Transit" with last scan in Memphis. Delivery date is now N/A. I read the service alert from Fed Ex that says shipments are delayed due to weather. OK. I'll be patient. Checking today (3/13/2015) Fed Ex has the same status and via an online chat, Fed Ex says I need to have Verizon initiate 'a case' number to investigate the status of the package. Ha. I ordered online to avoid spending 1/2 a day in a Verizon store to Edge up. I called Verizon and a very nice person told me I should wait longer. All I really want to know is when approximately will I receive the phone? 1 week? 2 weeks? It's kind of hard to plan to sign for something when there is Zero feed back from the shipper or help from the seller.
    Respectfully,
    Samuel J Leeis

    You do not leave in an affected area, but your package is passing through areas affected. I am sure they have millions of packages in the same situation.
    Winter Storm
    Last Update: March 13, 2015
    The winter storm that brought hazardous conditions across the southeastern and northeastern U.S. earlier continues to affect FedEx operations, and unavoidable service delays are anticipated. FedEx is committed to providing service to the best of our ability in areas affected by the storm and as local conditions allow. We will continue to monitor the situation to minimize the impact on service.

  • Dope calls with great signal, how do I get a free bumper?

    I know about the "holding it" wrong problem but this isn't it. I get a lot of drop calls, I never did with the 3G. I have signal bars, thats the issues. Anyone have this problem? also I seem to but people on mute at times when I am talking. How do you fix this? If not mute it will jump over to the keypad.
    Also I did a search but can't found out how one gets the free bumper case that Apple said they would give out. thanks

    Might want to try searching the forums, as this same question has been asked and answered umpteen times.
    Apple will be posting info on the free bumpers on their website sometime this week. Keep checking.
