RadioShack receiving ‘time sensitive’ shipments today, probably iPhone related

Exclusive

We just received this image of an internal RadioShack email that clearly shows RadioShack stores are receiving unmarked shipments on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. These deliveries, the note states, “must not be opened for any reason” until stores are told to do so by corporate. RadioShack is instructing employees to place the shipments in a secure location, to mark that the shipments can’t be opened, and it notes that RadioShack will be sending auditors to locations to make sure instructions are followed and the packages have not been tampered with. Any employee found to have disobeyed the company’s instructions will be subject to termination. What’s not clear is why RadioShack would be receiving any Apple-related merchandise early, though it could possibly be iPhone-related accessories and/or sales materials.

      The Shack doesn’t believe in spelling.  Or grammar.

      Happens a lot in our internal memos. Usually they’re rushed and not checked for things like spelling.

    I don’t care. DROID still has the highest market share. That’s all that matters. Just because one phone makes more profits than 90+ doesnt make it better. Market share FTW!!!!

      Exactly!

      I own a T-shirt company…

      Market share is so important to me that I give away all my t-shirts for free…. so more people have them. Who’s gonna turn down a free t-shirt?

      It doesn’t matter that I’ve never made any money and I might lose my house… because I absolutely must see more people wearing my t-shirts…

      Jon Geller is really pumping the BS for the last couple of days.  The sad part is that none of it is even close to believable.  Pan the camera up some and see that is was sent from Jon Geller, to Jon Geller….what a troll.

    Well they are sitting here in a warehouse located near O’Hare airport here in Chicago. Was asked to work security to guard the location but unable to do so. Ask any other CPD who works in 016 and they were warned about possible thefts to this location at roll call. Question is when and who will be selling them.

    In other breaking news, Auditors were sent to the home of Jonathan Geller and  found his house wallpapered in this “top secret” Apple sales material in the “unmarked” box.  They also found a large jug of hand-lotion and a case of kleenex…   More on this story at 9….

    I bet these are just the Sprint iPhone 4 packages. Apple says on their website they are coming soon…
