Apple shipping, how long after being dispatched?

ironman · 5 Sep 2006 at 16:41

Good news that my order has been dispatched (5th Sep). The site says the order is in transit, now typically how long should it take to reach my door? The site has quoted the 14th.

Mine had a 2 week delivery time on it - I thought, even though its coming from China, with the state of todays courier services, it should get here much sooner. But no, it arrived on the delivery date they said it would. So I would say it will be on that date , but tahts just speaking from my experience.

And ive just looked at your Location, u are in the USA?

Will be completely different, don't they even produce Mac's in USA (as well as China) ?

I'm in the UK. Shall just wait and see I guess.

Lucky for you, your item has been dispatched as estimated - mine is still "Not Yet Shipped" and it is estimated to be shipped off today and recieved, the same as yours, 14th.

I've been waiting for way too long... BAH!

Edit: Finally shipped, a day late and delivery date est to be 2 days later :/

Takes ages to ship. 2 weeks is about right. As far as I recall, it goes to the netherlands first then a different courier sends it to you. Takes way too long

I guess it depends on what item you're having and where it's built. My Mac mini had a build time of 5 business days (scheduled to ship on 13th) but a delivery time of only 2 business days (15th). I'm guessing the mini's are coming from Ireland...

My stock MacBooks (the first one and the replacement) both took 4 days to reach me including the day I ordered. They were shipped from the Netherlands.

This one is coming from Japan iirc:/

I would have thought yours will be from Shanghi (China) - everyone elses (and mine) seems so.

It probably is China, wasn't sure whether it was Japan or China.

Mini's been shipped.

Carrier is "Kuehne + Nagel" who I've never even heard of before. A glance on the web suggests they do big trans-continental containers rather than local deliveries.

Same company who is shipping my macbook. All the other items are being shipped by UPS. I'm guessing they will be two seperate deliveries.

Anyone likely to know if our new Macbooks will suffer from problems of the early early ones?
