So I decided to order a refurbished iPod Touch yesterday for my wife for Christmas.
Initially the delivery date was December 4th (which makes sense if the unit was coming from California via Fed Ex ground). But then I got the tracking info today...and it's shipping from China with a delivery date of December 7th.
This sort of surprised me. Not that Apple products are made in China...but that a "refurbished" unit was coming from China. I guess that I pretty much figured that a refurbished unit would come from the United States, or at least North America.
Using the logic that many refurbished units are customer returns or orders that were canceled.
Any thoughts?
