A lot depends on their supply and where you live in Canada, factors that may not be known/appreciated by the person on the phone. Two years ago, through the educational discount, I ordered an iMac (CRT models were on special). I wanted to take it home over Xmas to set it up and play with it. I eventually got (and had to pay more for) a better model at the end of January. The phone centre person didn't know they were out of the original model and didn't know they would be shipped from California, (I live in B.C.) and thus go through customs, causing at least 1 day's delay.
The good news is that, under the educators' advantage plan, regular shipping is free.
Hi,
Just wondering how accurate the Apple Canada store is in terms of their
shipping estimates ? I have never ordered from them before but I am planning
to order a G4 Powerbook in the next couple of days under my apple Ed student
discount.
On their website, they show an 1-3 day shipping estimate. I am planning to pay for Express shipping. I really want to get it before I go home for Christmas next week. They assured me this will not be a problem but I don't want to risk missing it before I leave.
Any suggestions or comments based on your own experiences ? Is their shipping normally pretty fast ? Does Express shipping mean it will come via FedEx ?
