Mine took 5 days total. Ordered on Friday and received it on wednesday. Apple said 5-8 working days, I got it in 3 working days (5 including the weekend). A lot of it depends on how close you are to the Apple regional distribution center, at least in the US.
My iPod took about two weeks, but I assumed they had a backup, as when I first ordered it they projected it to actually leave Apple about a week and a half after I ordered it... other than that took NO TIME whatsoever, Apple's usually good on shipping.
Where do you live i live in New York i bet they have one close. New York is one of the most popular states in the country and one of the most populated.
I could have gotten mine at an Apple store (I have 5 within an hours drive) but got a better deal on-line. I have a buddy who works for Apple, and the employee discount is 15%.
