How long does shipping normally take?

Question

How long does shipping normally take?

One for those who have their MBPs.

My machine shipped today (15th) with an estimated delivery time on or before 24th March. I'm really hoping that it won't take 9 days - does anyone in the UK have an idea how long these things normally take to arrive?

Thanks,

Mike.

From my experience with them in the past it can be anything from 4 days to 7. I bought my MBP in the States so I have no specific info on that but if it is shipping from Shanghai , it will arrive in Netherlands first and once they clear it there, it is normally a one day shipping to UK. Hope that answers your question.

I ordered a 2.16 GHz machine on February 16th, the original shipping date was March 16th - so well done Apple they beat their shipping date! Original delivery date was the 23rd, let's see if they can beat that!

I've had a MacBook Pro delivered from Shanghai to Framingham MA twice. The first was dead on arrival. My experience is that Fedex beats their estimated time by one day.

Here is the latest track, Fedex originally estimated delivery by March 16.
