Took more than 48 hours. By the time it came I had already upgraded my others machines, so it wasn't even relevant anymore.
I used the form at Mac App Store support: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/ap...rm=account&topic=MacAppStoreAccountandBilling
Just over 48 hours for me, I re-submitted my info again though and I received 2x content passwords approx 20 mins after, only had 1 PDF come through so I'm assuming the other password is useless.. So not sure if that made them come through faster or not..

Well, I ended up giving in and buying it. Of course moments later I got my email. I emailed Apple asking if I could get a refund and they told me they can't promise me anything. Pretty disappointing, but I can say that Mountain Lion is amazing. I don't even care about the money I spent. I'm just happy I have it now. It's the most polished OS I've ever used.
It took almost 40 hours for me to receive my code.
In the meantime, I had already downloaded and installed a copy via torrent. I gave them 6 hours.

Took me around 48 hours, finally got the code late today and just installed it. Wow. Unbelievable difference.. never liked Lion. Thought it lagged and it was just missing something; espically in the performance factor. I don't want to jump to conclusions but this feels faster than Snow Leopard (which IMO was the fastest mac OSX).
I just received another PDF and password so my second submission was less than 12 hours!! Anyone waiting should just re-apply!
Same here, 40hrs wait. Theres no way I'm paying for something that I should have free, just the principles of it.
Apple was being petty not opening the programme before ML was released, and this is what they get for it.
After about 52 hours, I received six emails from Apple: Three emails with a password and three emails with a password-protected PDF.
I tried every password with every PDF, but none of them worked. This is really annoying!
...I tried to re-register, but my serial number was already used.

Apple is getting me to post my receipt for my proof of purchase before they can send me the password but the thing is i did not receive any email or receipt confirming my purchase. I made my purchase 9 days ago.. Am i supposed to wait, or can anybody advice on what to do? Thanks.
Mine took about 26 hours.
I'm not too bothered with notification centre etc, may even try to turn it off, but the overall OS just feels a hell of a lot snappier.
Still waiting for my damn SSD to arrive! I'm not used to a HDD and its spoiling the experience for me. Come on Mr Postman!!
