I bought a computer from November 25, the application tells me, delivery December 2 to December 9. I have not had any notification, if the laptop will arrive on time. In my opinion your sales are misleading because they do not indicate the actual or real delivery time.
Folks to be clear neither Apple nor the delivery companies take any responsibility for the consequences of taking the “estimated delivery” as accurate or a binding guarantee of delivery. The key word being estimated...
On inquiry, Apple suggested to adding least 15-20 business days (ie one calendar month) to the last day of the “estimated delivery” date during peak times - even without a pandemic. Add 3-4 additional weeks more for any engraving requests... as that prompts from factory (primarily China) as the product source.
Even in times of pandemic, it’s disappointing that Apple doesn’t reflect or advertise more realistic timeframes but they probably know very few customers will return products because they are “late” in arriving.
Order in late October or very early November next time, if you need it by Christmas.... that was my hard lesson learned.
Best of luck!
1) This is a user-to-user forum. No one here sold you anything.
2) There is a pandemic that has affected logistics and supply chains around the world.
3) You have been given a delivery window that, as of this writing, appears to be valid. If you have not received your order by COB on December 9, you should contact Apple.
