I couldn't have been more wrong. I finally get around to calling Apple Support on Tuesday and all they ask for is the iPod's serial number which I happen to have. The representative magically knows that my iPod is still under warranty and that I can go up to any local UPS Store and send in the faulty iPod for free by giving them a Repair ID Number which he provides me. I don't send in the iPod until Wednesday morning because I didn't know UPS Store's close at 6pm. I get an email notice that UPS shipped out my old iPod on Thursday and it will arrive at Apple by next week or something. On Friday, my new iPod is waiting for me on the front porch when I wake up. Four Days. That's all it took. I had a five minute phone conversation with Apple Support and I had a functioning iPod in FOUR days! That is unheard of. When was the last time you were able to get something fixed that easily through a company's customer service department? Never. I'm pretty sure that Apple sent me the new iPod before the old one even left the UPS Store and when this whole thing started, I half expected the new one to be sent out a week after the old one arrived at the least. All I'm really trying to say is that I am shocked at how awesomely helpful and convenient Apple Customer Service was. Because most people only write about how shitty.customer service generally is, I decided to turn the tables and compliment it instead. Congratulations Apple Customer Service, you truly impressed me. Too bad I will never buy one of your stupid computers though.
