So it takes two days to get a computer from Shenzhen, China to New York City*, which to me is pretty amazing.

* Jamaica, NY = John F. Kennedy International Airport
Memphis = Fedex Global Hub
Chek Lap Kok = Hong Kong International Airport

I live in Long Island and mine is leaving China today. FedEx is saying it will be here by Tuesday, but by your shipping speed, I think it will be here Monday. Did FedEx deliver it a day earlier than promised?

If you look at post #98, you’ll see that I was told from the moment Fedex received the computer that it would be delivered this morning.

It may depend on where you are on Long Island. I’m in Queens, ten miles from Fedex’s JFK sort facility. Montauk might take an additional day. Although, even then, Monday makes sense for a computer that goes Hong Kong > Memphis > JFK.

Hi,

I should have added that I paid the additional $8.00 for Express Shipping. If you didn’t, that could explain your Tuesday delivery date.

Yes, I paid for that too. I don’t think it upgraded the shipping speed but got Apple to ship it quicker but I could be wrong.
 
I was told that delivery would be by 10:30 this morning and the FedEx guy was at my door at 10:35.

FedEx updated my package tracking and it will be here tomorrow. What fast shipping from China to NY within 2 days...
 
Well, I stand corrected and it will be arriving today after all. Amazing that they are arriving the same day as Reebok sneakers that were being shipped from South Carolina. Kudos to Apple for super quick shipping at a very reasonable price of $8.00.
