Apple Store shipping

I'm going to be buying a macbook pro soon and I was wondering what shipping method apple's online store used for the free shipping. Also I was wondering what the approximate travel time would be once it ships. Thanks

In the US it's FedEx. I believe their shipping time estimate is 5 days, which .. well.. is about what mine took (counting the weekend)

Well the travel time after it ships will vary on where you live really. I believe the free shipping is 3-5 day FedEx as Dysfunction said. But again it all depends on your location and where the macbook ships from.

I just ordered mine 10 minutes ago and here is my shipping info:
Ships by: Apr 15 - Apr 17
Delivers by: Apr 17 - Apr 23

Mine took about 5 days to arrive. One night at each stop on the way. Shanghai to Alaska to Saint Louis to Tennesee to Fort Lauderdale and another day for delivery.

well, right now it'll ship from China

Why not spend an extra $30 and have the MBP shipped overnight? I think it's worth the extra money rather than waiting 5 days to get something I'm paying some serious money for.

I was gonna do the overnight, but it didn't give me the option :-/ I upgraded to the 2-3 shipping for 18 dollars. It didn't have a 1 day option though. And to add, it said it cost 18 dollars but it didn't charge 18 dollars on the purchase so maybe the 2-3 is free 0.o I dunno.

Definitely agree. If you are going to spend more than a thousand dollars what's the extra $27?

so wait, they ship macbooks and macbook pros from china? or is it just the macbook pro?

Just about everything Apple sells comes from China, despite the oversized "Designed in California" label they stick on everything. It's so prominent, it's almost like they are trying to cover over something...

In their defense though, almost every other major manufacturer currently turning a profit does the same thing.

bah well from china to PA...i might as well pay for the overnight shipping when i order it...

They offer the overnight unless you order any customizations such as glossy screen or a bigger drive. These will make the overnight option not available.

My notebook shipping out of California, not China.

Was yours a 'stock' model or did you modify it? It was also a macbook right?

Ahhh that must be it as far as mine was concerned. Yes mine was customized.

Oh i see, they only ship from china if you custom build them? Im just getting the black one with nothing added to it so hopefully it'd ship from cali.

It's still what it would be even without the cost of the Mac... $27. In fact, now it's spending ANOTHER $27 in addition to the huge amount of money just paid for the computer.

They're made in China. I'm really not sure what the difference is, it adds a whopping day to shipping times. That was less time than it took for mine to be prepared for shipping.
