"Ships within 24 hours."

Why don't you just go to Best Buy?

It usually means that it will go to the carrier within 24 hours, but that doesn't always happen. Plus there's the shipping time. So it won't arrive tomorrow, and probably will not arrive Monday. If you really need it soon, you might instead want to consider buying from Amazon or one of the other vendors that has expedited shipping options. Amazon says they have both the 8GB and 16GB in stock and can deliver by Monday if you order in the next few hours and choose one-day shipping.

If you order it today, most likely it will be shipped out of the factory on Monday and on it's way to your location. Since they don't ship things out on the weekend. Keep in mind that most factory is in China so they make them there. Once you ordered your product and the process has been cleared, yes they will ship them out, but it depends on when it was ordered. Normally the shipping can take about 1 week or less, depending on what service you chose to get to your location.

hey, I got my iPod from amazon and it shipped out the very next day via ups next day air.

I ordered from apple.com on Wednesday about 3:30 pm, it shipped out by 6:00 that evening and arrived today (Friday) by 2:00 pm via FedEx. Of course, I paid the $10.00 for second day shipping, but I was very pleased.

either you're a grounded teenager, or you are a person on house arrest. in that case, why don't you have someone go and get it for you with your money.

if you wanted it now, i would advise that option, especially when the holidays are near.

I ordered my touch on tuesday night 13th november and it came on friday 16th. I just ordered it without any extra posting options.
