Apple Delivery Times

I was just curious as to how Apple is with their estimated delivery date vs the actual delivery date? I ordered a CTO 15" MPB on Saturday. Apple sent me an e-mail saying it should ship out on the 22nd and, with the 2-3 business day delivery, be here by the 27th. Are they usually a little faster then they give themselves credit for? Thanks.

Apple's initial estimation is usually longer than it will actually take. They typically put highest likely ship time, but it usually ships a day or two sooner (especially if it is a stock notebook). Once it is in FedEx's hands, the estimation tends to be spot on.
