Delivery times from Apple?

    Hi all,

    Quick question regarding how long deliveries take from Apple. I ordered a rMBP this morning (without making any modification to the specs) and, when filling in my details, it said it would be dispatched in 3-5 business days. When I completed the order it said the delivery date would be some time between the 19th and 23rd of December. If it is dispatched in 3-5 business days, surely it won't take another week to get to me? I ask because, on December 20th, I am moving out of the place to which it will be delivered.

    Anyone have any recent experience with delivery times for a standard rMBP? :)

    I'd say Dec 17th or maybe even before then.

    Even though it's a standard MBP, 3-5 days for dispatch would suggest it has to be manufactured, then shipped, so you may well be looking at those dates. It ships from China in bulk, into Germany or Holland, customs cleared, break bulk then for delivery by courier to the end destination.

    I got an email from apple during the week. It stated to order by the 11th to guarantee Xmas delivery.

    I had looked at upgrading the RAM to 16GB but the dispatch time was 2-3 weeks, which definitely suggested it had to be manufactured. I think I will wait until the end of the week to see if it's dispatched. If not, I'll change the delivery address to my parents. Thanks for the replies.

    Small update - the status of my order changed to "Preparing for Dispatch" today, with new delivery dates of Dec 17-19. Happy with that!

    EDIT - Just been updated to "Dispatched" and got a text saying it will be here by Monday. Currently in Hinckley.
