Hey Gang.
I notice there's a lot of buzz and questions about how shipping with the MacBooks and MacBook Pros works, so I thought I'd give you a detailed look at my shipping history from my just received MacBook.
From the online Apple Store at 11:30am PDT on July 3, 2007, I ordered:
I popped for the Expedited Shipping at $21.00.
My shipping address is in Los Angeles, CA.
On July 3 (same day as order) the following shipped:
On July 5 (two days after order *NOTE JULY 4 HOLIDAY):
So, 5 items ordered and shipped in 4 packages from 4 locations for $21. Pretty darn good value there. I'm bummed about the carbon footprint of this order (far too many planes and trucks for these few items) but I can't argue with the speed. If you exclude the 4th of July holiday, all items arrived within 1-3 days. The printer in a remarkable 1 day.
Hope that helps with any questions regarding ordering from Apple Store and Shipping.
All the best.
