Delivery time on ordering a mac?

Raymond Lin · 24 Jul 2009 at 10:03

Just so i can time taking a morning off work easier, anyone know a rough estimate on ordering a mac until getting it delivered ?

Raymond Lin · 24 Jul 2009 at 10:45

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 ?

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

We'll see.

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.

Excellent !

Will cross that bridge when i come to it !

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 !

Raymond Lin · 28 Jul 2009 at 22:51

HOLY CRAP, this is a surprise, estimate delivery is 5th and 6th...but I just got an email at almost 11pm that it has been shipped !!!

Think it'll be here on Thursday ?

Depends where it's coming from:

Apple UK (Ireland) - 24hrs

Netherlands - 72hrs

China - 5-7 days

I'd say it will arrive on the 1st if it's shipped via Netherlands.

It's a standard spec 24" iMac, and this is the screenshot of the status now.

It has tomorrow's date on it !

Without doubt it's coming tomorrow then.

I'm just trying to pass on my knowledge of the ordering process

How come Apple don't provide Courier info, like a link to UPS ? Everyone else does....

Raymond Lin · 29 Jul 2009 at 23:40

Still no email

Raymond Lin · 30 Jul 2009 at 14:00

Apparently "In Transit to Customer" means in Transit to the courier.......I called them up to get tracking info as there is no one home now and thought about calling to re-arrange redelivery direct myself but on their system its still not assigned to a courier yet.

Looks like its going to be the 4th which is actually better as there is someone home that day.
