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.

Delivery times on schedule?

Happy New Year!
My question is about last month Apple delivery times to Portugal.
I'm waiting for a new macbook pro with ssd disk...
I'm waiting more than 4 weeks from order datetime! Is this the usual waiting period?
Best regards,
PM

If Apple vendor sent you a "shipping, tracking" notification" email, contact the shipping company if you are unable to "track" your delivery to the final destination.

Apple Store - Delivery times?? _ frustrating!!

I placed an order through the Apple Store on the 8th Aug at 6:53am GMT (17" MBP, Office and a 4gb Black Nano), the website informed me that the manufacturing time would be 24 hours and dispatch would be on the 9th with arrival on or before the 11th (which is great as I needed the laptop for this weekend).
I got an email this morning at 2:34am GMT informing me that my order has been despatched on the 10th and will arrive on the 14th. Why the sudden increase in delivery times? The website clearly stated all items were available within 24 hours meaning it should have been ready to despatch on the 9th to arrive with me on the 11th. Really disappointed I use to work in sales myself and if we gave a delivery date that was the date regardless, even if it meant having to have staff work overtime to complete an order and have it ready to leave on time.
So what’s the chances of my order arriving with me on the Friday? As their will be no one available to collect delivery as of the Sunday for 8-12 weeks as I have to go work abroad.
//On a side note why am I being shipping the US version of MS Office?
MBP

Delivery to Europe *****. I've ordered several times from the Apple online store. The manufacturing dates Apple told me were always correct. But then, after handover to Kuehne & Nagel in Shanghai, everything comes to a grinding halt. My first MBP got stuck in Shanghai for 5 days. And it took another 5 for it to reach my door-step. The replacement MBP got delivered from Shanghai directly by TNT. I thought that would speed up the process - but I was wrong. Again, the thing got stuck somewhere in China. Once the stuff is in Europe, though, the packages almost always arrive within 24 hours. From what I've read, delivery to the UK sometimes takes 2 days from the Netherlands, though.
I just wished Apple would try to reduce the delivery times from Shanghai to Europe somehow.

ADM delivery times from Apple.. 2-3 months!!

Hi,
We have a 3.5 TB RAID built with 250GB disks. One disk just died and the RAID is still running but no safety anymore..
It seems Apple is having a hard time delivering 250GB ADM modules (2-3 months)
Is it possible to use a larger sized disk? (750Gb is available 24hr) I realize we lose most of the disk but better than losing the RAID
cheers
Kaspar

Yikes! That's a long delivery time. I order our 250GB replacement drives from Mac Mall (www.macmall.com). They are pretty quick. We have had them sent next day air on several occasions, but standard delivery is usually 2 to 4 days.

Ship and delivery time?

I want to buy the new Macbook Pro 13.3" but the time is really pressing me! I am leaving the country(15 June) for summer vacation and i want to have the laptop with me. I'm going to buy it with the education discount(+ free ipod) and it says that the item would ship 1-3 bussiness days. Any recent experience with the new macbook pro ship and delivery time?Thanks

They are usually pretty accurate. You can also place the order through Apple Phone Sales (1-800-MY-APPLE) and they may be able to expedite it. Alternatively, if you're getting a 'stock' configuration you can drive to the nearest Apple Retail Store and buy it in person. Bring your student ID or other verification of enrollment, and you'll be able to get the education pricing in the store, and the iPod promotion is a rebate anyway, so you'll have to buy the iPod and submit the rebate request later.

IPad delivery times?

I ordered an iPad a week ago and wondering how long everyone is waiting out there. My delivery time says it should arrive April 16-22 but wonder how realistic that is. I placed my order on April 8th and am VERY, VERY anxious.

7-10 days delivery my ***. i'm sorry for the profanity but seriously? i ordered this on the 28th. expected this in just over a week's time. originally quoted 7th or 8th delivery.
now they asked me to wait... claimed the credit card didnt work and the bank refused the transaction... called the bank up, this was not true...
also a friend had been delivered ALL THE ACCESSORIES but the console itself. he called up CS and asked what was happening but they insisted it was transaction error when the he's got confirmation it went through ok and he's already holding the rest of the goods...
later found out the ipads were not even ready to dispatch yet, when the confirmation tracking code came through on apple store, it was only dispatched to leave for hong kong on the 7th. which is already good 10days after the purchase date.
now TNT has said if you want it ASAP you can go to the depot to collect it yourself, otherwise it would have been earliest friday delivery which is also not guaranteed. which is like what i've heard for the last 2 weeks. excuse after excuse, seriously apple, sort this out...
trade description act and everything... why are you doing this to your supporters?
if they werent apple haters in the first place, you might have given them a reason to now from the disappointment, hassle and waste of annual leave to receive nothing but a giant let down.
very unprofessional.
edit:
for those of you still looking to get an ipad, here's the *REALISTIC delivery times.*
*3-4weeks till delivery from the day of transaction on the apple store. 5weeks if you're unlucky.*

Current Delivery Times for MacBook Pro 15"?

What can i expect the delivery time to New York to be with a 256gb SSD and 8gb of RAM and anti-glare screen?

After you configure your laptop on the apple store, when you choose your shipping preferences it will show you an estimate.

Prolonged delivery times for SSDs

Why does the delivery time for BTO iMacs specced with SSDs bump up from a few days to 4-6 weeks?

Given that it's only the SSD option that increases the lead time that much, it looks like Apple don't have enough SSDs on hand at the moment to predict a shorter delivery time, so they're managing expectations.

"Real" delivery times for iPhone 4 in HK ?

Hi there,
my iPhone got stolen today, but incidentally, a while ago, I had ordered an iPhone for a friend who won't be back for another 4 weeks, and this one arrived today. So I am contemplating to use this one for myself and ordering a new one for him.
So that's what I did, ordered a new one and got told by Apple that the delivery will be in almost 6 weeks (25/11) which would be too late.
But for the one I received today, they originally told me as well that it would take 6 weeks (11/11), but eventually, I received it in 2 weeks.
Before breaking the package, it would be good to get some feedback what delivery times people are experiencing when ordering iPhone4 in HK (of course, living here as well).
Thanks a lot, Nick

Is there not an O2/T-Mobile/Orange/Vodafone/3UK/Carphone Warehouse/Phones4U shop nearer to you or have you pre-ordered from Apple and need to pick-up?
Last year I finished work, travelled back from Bristol to Gloucester, walked into the O2 shop and didn't have to queue for a minute to get my 3GS.

Current Delivery times on 27 inch iMacs through David Jones

Hi All
I am new here and just wanted to ask a question.
I ordered an iMac 27inch (the standard configuration) though David Jones Last month (mid month). They advised of a 2 week waiting time. I rang today and was told they have no estimated delivery time at the moment.
I am just wondering if any one else knows of the delivery time to resellers (DJ'S). I did request an order number so I could track it with Apple, but was told because it was a standard configuration, they didn't have a tracking number?
I have read previous posts from last year with terrible stories about delivery times, but thought these issues had been resolved?
Cheers
Kathy..

I think I got a little ahead of myself explaining my problem, so let me clarify...
Only the one iMac is having the network file deletion problem, but it is included in the network user logon problem. So 4 out of 5 of the iMacs have had or are having logon problems with network users accounts using mobile accounts on the systems. 2 of the 4 I have wiped and started over on and the other 2 have different network accounts being used by the primary system users. The 5th iMac has not caused any problems except I forgot to mention that the USB on it seems flaky.
So we are apparently full of problems.

UK Delivery times on schedule?

Hey Guys,
Are the UK shipping & delivery times on schedule / correlate with the supplied Apple receipt?
I ordered on the 28th July and have been given a shipping date of 18th August, with delivery 'on or before' 20th August. Are the dates provided generally correct, or a bit out?
When can I likely expect to see the details to change regards the phone's moving westwards?
Sorry if I've missed this elsewhere on the forum, but my eyes are aching... think I need them tested!
Oh, I'm so excited!!
Thanks

just to add, that i tracked this via TNT, and all the tracking history this evening, is within the UK, and says delivery tomorrow, 13th - would have to be friday 13th eh! *rolls eyes*
anyway, on this shipment there isnt this whole china and customs thing, its all been within the uk, and is now in northampton, so if this arrives tomorrow, this has effectively been next day delivery! very strange. lol
i still would like to know if the 32 giggers are coming through quicker than the 16's.
"+i am in the uk and ordered ordered 32gb ip4 from apple online on the 26th july. after my order it stated expected ship date of the 16th august with delivery being on or before 23rd august. its stayed like that for the ~2.5 weeks, today i had the preparing for shipping in the status. then an email saying it had been shipped today. but how long its journey will take is another matter, i know the ipad orders were virtually here a few days later after shipping, that they seemed to be shipped domestically, but i believe these iphones are coming via quite the exotic routes with stops in customs and all sorts, so the original receive date may well end up to be true yet, will post when i receive, incase its of any use to other UK ip4 orderers with similar dates!+"

Delivery times on iPhone 6

I recently ordered a iPhone 6 plus 128 on the 13/09/2014 the web site is quoting me 3 to 4 weeks, a friend of mine ordered his phone on the 12th when orderimg first opened, he's been quotated a similar time frame. do you think I'll be given a more realistic delivery time when apple opens it's doors to its shops tomorrow?
If ive got to wait of 3 - 4 weeks so be it - however it would be fantastic to think Apple already have my order sitting on a shelf in the UK and it's ready to ship?

What color did you order?
It appears the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and 64GB in Gold are the most favored and ran out of stock the quickest.
I ordered my (iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray 64GB) on 9-12-14 at 4 A.M. and my estimated shipping date is Oct 1 - Oct 6th. I check the status constantly and it still says its "processing items" and no shipping updates yet.
Apple Support said they are expediting all iPhone pre orders to get the orders filled as quickly as possible.

Delivery times for iwatch

I Have recently ordered a new iwatch on 12/04/2015 obviously I wasn't expecting delivery on the 24/04/2025 but was a little shocked that delivery is now estimated
for the month of June. I then started to get buyers remorse and was contampating cancelling my order online - I've now changed my mind having visited an apple shop today successfully booking an appointment whilst in store meant only a five minute wait to try one on.
It is absolutely brilliant and can't wait for mine to arrive.
what do you think the chances are of my delivery time coming forward?

As someone is sure to point out, we are all users like yourself - not Apple employees - so it is just guesses on our parts. However I have recently read several articles that implied (either through their own guesswork or actual sources in Apple) that a lot of those June delivery dates are probably going to be earlier than originally estimated.

IPhoto Book Delivery times?

Does anyone know off hand what the average production/delivery time is to receive a book made from iPhoto? To be more specific, if I created one tonight (Mon Feb 9th) would I possibly receive it by Friday or Saturday? Do they have expedited shipping?

Spez Guy
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
see this Page - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/shipping_prices/
and this one - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/shipping/
for shipping and production timing information
Yes there is expedited shipping - ordering tonight may make it iffy for receipt by Sat even with expedited shipping - the sooner you order the better the chance
I'm in California and my shipping has been great even using ground - but to guarantee it - not really

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000.
The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300.
With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
On other applications your mileage may vary.
Application benchmarks:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
Graphics oriented benchmarks:
On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.
