Okay....online ordering....it's asking me if i want a ipod touch for £20 after rebate?

Anyone know how long it takes for the rebate to come through ?

Takes 48hrs to arrive after ordering online (typically) if the item says 24hr availibility.

The rebates can take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months

3 days avaliablity

You're looking at 5 days.

If you ordered today, it would arrive next Friday (including weekend)

I always double their estimation, and then add another day for our post staff.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Well, its ordered....just have to get a card next friday and rearrange redelivery for a day i am going to be in thats all.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Well, delivery estimate is 31/07 to 03/08.

We'll see.

iMac, 24-inch, 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

here i come !

I'd say 31st will be the day.

They have a full 5 days to process and ship your order which will come from Apple UK in Ireland.

someone will be at home the Tuesday after, think i'll just get carded, and then call and rearrange redelivery. Hate taking a day off work for delivery.

I know, you should see the box for a Mac Pro

Didn't realise you took the train. It was merely a suggestion.

I could take a £40 taxi ride home

I am not in a hurry to get it, i can wait 3 more days.

btw, just wondering, i just ordered an imac with 4G of RAM. If say in 12 months i wanna upgrade the RAM to 8G, is it possible and is it easy to do it at home?

Extremely easy and possible.

Just unscrew a cover and slot it in.

Just ordered a MBP last night and they estimated 7th-10th for delivery, hopefully it'll be sooner for us both though.

Mine got pushed back to the 5th/6th because i had to cancel and reorder to get the HE discount, which is okay, saved myself like £200 !
