Please give us FULL report!

Comes in a brown refurb box. iPod looks as good as new. Accessories were sealed except the USB cable which looked used. Includes power adapter as well.

Are the i mac laptops which sell as refurb any good

any views please

They are very good. I ordered aan iBook from there.
Order date was 28th december 2005 and it cam 2nd january, if I recall correctly.
It came with everything you would expect with a new one.
It came loaded up with the latest OS, and it just worked straight out of the box.

Still waiting patiently for mine ... it's showing as coming via TNT Netherlands .

Although I got the e-mail saying my order had been despatched on Friday, it doesn't look like the package was picked up until yesterday ... it's gone from Arnhem to Eindhoven, to Liege in Belgium and now is potentially delayed at Stansted Airport due to bad weather .

Ooh the suspense :rolleyes: .

Showing as 'Out for delivery' for me.
Plenty of these Refurbs have reached Ebay already some selling for double the original price. So I feel it was certainly a bargain at least for the 20gb colour......freddy

Mine is at home, arrived this morning but I haven't had a chance to check it. I ordered not long after the offer was spotted.

Mine has just arrived. Looks absolutley brand new, everything in mint condition Ipod covered in protective plastic, end caps for cable and sealed bags for mains charger, earphones etc. I was quite surprised how heavy the ipod is. Should have one happy OH tonight (is a surprise), and I am well chuffed too!!!!

Brown box though, I assume?

I am very nervously hoping to buy my son an iPod which I have promised him for ages and it is his birthday today. I am on the refurb site now but I have no idea which one to get! Should it be the one with the click wheel or not? Is 20gb big enough? I can't see any iPod minis which people on here are talking about. This is a minefield - do I get mini, nano or which? Can anyone help me quick? We haven't very much money at the moment (paying back debts) so I have been holding on hoping for a miracle - a bargain but just what he would need.

Yes it is a well padded purpose built Brown box. Guess it stops people selling them on as brand new. As a present its fine with wrapping paper on.....freddy

Just had mine delivered too! Some journey it's had - phew!

Comes in a brown box with foam padding. All the accessories and the iPod casing look brand new. The iPod itself has been used, though - you can tell as you can see scuff marks where connectors have been taken in and out in the past, but really that is the only clue that they aren't brand new units!

Now just got to load it up ...
