Order New Mac Online - Why Does Delivery Take 9 Days Not 1-3?

This is a real account of my experience purchasing a iMac online from apple.com.

The sales page states shipping within 1-3 days however the fact is, i ordered the product on the 13th, paid for it on the 15th by cash and it finally confirmed shipping on the 15th for the 22nd which works out to be 9 days after the order was placed and 7 days after payment was made.

This is very misleading.

Also, when i tested a new order on Saturday 18th, it stated i could receive the delivery on the 22nd which is the same day it confirmed delivery for my original order placed on the 13th.

iMac, iOS 9.3.2, null

Yes, it only states it will ship with 1 - 3 days however thats misleading as some buyers will expect that to mean it will be delivered within 1 - 3 days.

Then, those people would be mistaken. Ship date does not equal delivered date.

I received an email immediately after paying cash at the bank that the order was being processed.

Apple is not responsible for peoples misunderstanding, yours included.
