Depends where it's coming from:

  1. Apple UK (Ireland) - 24hrs
  2. Netherlands - 72hrs
  3. China - 5-7 days

I'd say it will arrive on the 1st if it's shipped via Netherlands.
 
In the end and after many phone calls it took them a month (19/06/09 to 18/07/09) to delivery my new MBP and nano. not what i would have expected from apple. In the end it did get me a free incase case for the Mac and £50 off the order
 
I always assumed that apples delivery was super fast after my experience.

Got into work the day after ordering online and checked to see if it had been dispatched etc and it was down for delivery that day.

Boss let me go home so I could be in for the delivery.

All in all I think it was around 23hrs from ordering, to being at my door.
This was a little over a year ago. So not sure if the way they opperate has changed or I was just very lucky.

:eek:

That's dreadful, they could have sourced the materials, manufactured the components, assembled them and shipped to you in that time. It better not take that long to get to me!

Without doubt it's coming tomorrow then.

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

If you order multiple items they have to converge via the Netherlands. So if the MBP came from Shanghai then it would be 2 weeks to merge in Netherlands, and if then they have to wait for the Nano to reach there it extends the wait.

Not trying to justify them (clearly that was bad), but it always takes 2 weeks when you order a new release item with accessories.

It won't come in an email, it will be added to the tracking page on the Apple site.

But as EVH said, it can take ages to update.
 
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.
