I'm planning on ordering my Macbook from Apple and was wondering how long the shipping time is...

When you place your order, they will quote you an estimated ship time. If you do a build to order (add RAM, larger HD), it will add time.

I ordered Refurb Alum 2.0GHz Macbook and it took about 2~3days
I was very surprised when it came cause the receipt said that I should be expecting it on the first or second week of Feb.

Mine was about 4 days.

Mine took 4 days as well. I think it might be faster if you customize it. If I understood it correctly, when you order a customized computer, it is shipped from the plant in China to you. If there is not customization involved, it is shipped from the US. I bought mine with added RAM. In 2006, the MacBook came with only 512 MB of memory. With hindsight, I should have bought memory modules from a third-party (way cheaper).
