How long did it take you to get your computer from Apple? I was too cheap and chose free shipping (8-12 business days) instead of the 23 buck (3-5). That was a mistake. I can't stand waiting this long for a $2000 computer, I want it now.



I have purchased direct from Apple's website before and I've never had to wait this long. I ordered last Wednesday. I figured it would be here by now, but there is no sign. When I checked the status and it was shipped it said Sameday. Guess what? That is the name of the stupid shipping company, they tricked me good. And, there is no tracking until it reaches Canada because it is a Canadian company.



I have shipped cross-country to Vancouver and it only took 2 days via Canada Post and some courier can't get a package from California to even Mississauga in a week? I guess I can't call and complain until 12 business days are up, but I am getting really impatient.



Moral of the story, pay the $23 and don't be cheap like me.

    It took my friend 6 days to get his iMac g5 from Apple, and he too took standard freight. It is not that bad, is it?

    took me 10 days. I ordered a White 2 GHz MacBook on the day it came out and the wait was difficult to say the least! Living in the UK, we haven't got a choice for the $23 delivery you speak of

    Awesome! I post a rant and it comes the very next day! It took half a day once it was in Canada. Do Americans not know how to get here? JK

    It took me six days, but in business days it was only three. I used the free shipping too. I was happy.
