So I've recently made another post about my recent purchase, the 2010/11 Mac Mini.
Now, on the status of the order, I ordered it on:
Which was the beginning of Friday morning, so I thought, maybe it will get put in the transaction process and things would be under way quickly, but then I was reading up and I realised due to my 2GB - 4GB Ram Upgrade, that instead of "Shipped in 24 hours" deal, I got the:
So I thought, okay, okay. It's just an estimated shipping date, all they've got to do is add in two 2GB slots and it's all good, can't take too long can it? After all it is apple.
So I then looked at the Shipping estimate date and boy was I disappointed:
Now, if this date is actually accurate and my Mac Mini doesn't reach me until the 12th-17th, I will be extremely disappointed, not only is that almost 2 weeks away, I have never had to wait over a week for a purchase, I've been reading up and 85% of the time these estimates aren't true and a lot of your apple purchases come a week before this is stated.
My mum went and ordered me a new iPod Nano (6th Generation), with an engraving for christmas, She ordered it on the Monday and it was there on the friday, so it can't be too bad right?
Suffice to say guys, I'm just wondering, anyone who has had a fair amount of experience with ordering from Apple;
1. Should I expect that it will not come until this date?
2. In the past have your orders come early, late or on time?
The more information the better.
Thanks alot.
