How long to ship iPhone if ordered from apple.com?

I'm finally ready to make the plunge but am thinking of order the iPhone online so that I can take advantage of the Bill Me Later feature. For anyone who has ordered online, how long did it take to get to you? I notice that the website says ships within 24 hours.

Thanks.

I depends on where you live and the method of shipment you choose. Overnight air will usually bring it the next day before 10:00AM. Standard ground shipping can take anywhere from 4-7 business days. I believe they ship FedEx so it also depends on the quality of their service where you live.

I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There is free shipping right now on over $250 so I could just pay $10 for 2-day business but with the weekend so close, that doesn't really get it much sooner than the regular free shipping.

I ordered my iphone online at apple.com and I just ordered my phone this Monday, Sept. 17, and it was shipped on Tues, the 18th. I didn't pay extra and stuck with fedex ground which said 5-7 business days, but I guess it didn't matter because I just received my today, Sept. 20th so it only took 2 days for mine to get delivered . I guess it might depend where you live as well. I live in Michigan and I think originally my iphone came from Tennesee.

I live in North Carolina at the moment and I ordered my phone Monday morning and I just checked the tracking number last night and it's in the Fedex station ready to be delivered to my house today.
