How long does it take to get a iphoto book?

I was wondering if its worth ordering iphoto books now and if they will be here before xmas? I never used the service before, but I'd like to try it out. Anyone know how long it takes from the minute you click order to the time it ships?
thanks

thanks for the helpful reply, nsteklov
My wife just ordered a photo book from Walgreens.com. It was the first photo book order for our family. I was aware of iPhoto books and have seen samples in an Apple Store and remember they looked nice, so suggested an iPhoto book. We really like ordering our 4x6 photos through Walgreens and picking up locally, and we think they have the best quality prints, so that is why my wife thought just order the photo book from them. I expected good quality also since their prints are so nice.
Bah! We were not pleased at all with the Walgreens photo book. Very cheap construction; ultrathin = low quality; photos are dull and even grainy looking (highest quality 6MP outdoor photos, so it ain't the photos). Walgreens service was amazingly fast ... we ordered about midnight last Thursday and they shipped 2-day on Friday morning, got the book Tuesday evening. (fast printing even during Christmas season.) However, the quality was so poor that we could not give it as a gift (a summer vacation we took with the wife's folks). Soooo, that's why we did the iPhoto book last night (stayed up until 3AM) and basically put the same book together. iPhoto is MUCH, MUCH easier to use than those web based services.
We are not meeting them until the evening of Dec. 25, and then will open gifts the 26th when the rest of the family is together. The book is being shipped to their house Express. I am hoping maybe by now orders have died down and they can get this book out pronto. I even have a glimmer of hope for delivery on the 26th or at least the week of the 26th. If not, no biggie, it'll come when it comes. I like the idea of putting the iPhoto book on iDVD and showing it on a DVD. That will suffice until the actual book comes.
My wife will be contacting Walgreens today to see about a refund for the shoddy book they sent us. I wouldn't get the Walgreens book at any price it was so bad (shipped price was about $6 less than the iPhoto book.)

  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET iPHOTO BOOK?

    I would like to order my first HARD COVER book and since I am not living in USA, my friend would bring the book back to Europe.
    But the only problem is that, she will be there only two days, so the book must be at the address, she will be living on 9th of February.
    When do I need to place the order? How long does it take to get the album?
    Thank you for your help.

    Can't say - no idea where it is going to or what will be going on them
    If it were me I'd say that the extra cost was a cheap insurance policy against external forces messing things up - but you make that decision
    Waiting three days to order and shipping ground rather than express will increase the chances of it not making it - probably still 95% + (guessing of course) that it will but every day you wait makes the chances less and not using the fastest shipping also increases the chances of failure
    If money is the issue then ordering today rather than Wed would be a good idea to me
    Good Luck

    Do I even getting my money back or not?
    Please I need to know!!!! :'(

    I had a similar experience yesterday. The Apple email that I got said:
    "In five to seven business days, a credit of xx USD should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase."
    Your email should have said the same.

  • How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

    How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
    Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
    Anyone been there done that?

  • How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

    I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
    Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
    Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
    You should give in another try!

  • HT1338 Free Mountain Lion request, how long does it take to get a response??

    Submitted my free request for software update to mountain lion yesterday, how long does it take to get a response, and where can I go to verify my request was received?/

    I called them after waiting 12 hours and they said up to 72 hours and there was no place to check things in the meantime.
    Their communication on this one is surprisingly bad, but apparently they have it under control. Time will tell. (It's now been about 36 hours for me with no code or confirmation email.)

  • How long does it take to get GPS fix on N95 8gb?

    How many satelites and how long does it take to get the signal fixed? It took me 15 or more minute sometime to get it fixed, and not just that, it gets discconected too from time to time.
    Is this software issue? I;ve updated everything needed. I even purchased the 3 year license.
    Unreal...

    I'll back up the point on Maps 2.0, I installed it on my N82 straight out of the box, and it found its first GPS fix in about 30 seconds, and what was most remarkable is that I was in the house (fairly close to a window). I'd fired up the app to get through the activation bit, seeing the green lights on the signal indicator so quick was a surprise.
    The design of the N95 is an issue as well, the GPS chip is under the keypad area, reception would be better if it was position near the top of the phone at the back, as it has the best chance of a view skyward from that position.

    Hello Babu,
    WIKI entries are not moderated prior to publication. They work much like forum postings. After the page edit or new page is created in the WIKI, a moderator may alter or delete it, but this does not happen prior to publication.
    I must assume you actually mean a weblog or a content article submission. I am afraid two days is far to short a time to expect that one of these items would have been reviewed for completeness, language usage, and technical content. You should always allow a minimum of two business weeks before expecting to see an item of this nature published.
    Kind Regards,
    David
