Yeah, I think that last date is the date its expected to arrive @ Flextronics, Daventry for either distribution or merge in transit. After that date, maybe 1 or 2 more days before the courier will take it to you.
but my apple page said eta=9th while apecode said eta@daventry = 3rd, but it looks like I might get it today. I think 2 days after you see "truck arrived at final destination" on apecode appletrack, its likely to be with you.
They told me 3-7 days for shipping...but didnt tell me that was on top of time to build it. Kind of devious...I wouldn't have cared if they said it will take up to 10 working days, but when they get your hopes up that it could be with you after 3 days its kind of disappointing.
