Apple's '2-3 day shipping'-- Yeah, right.

i think 2-3 day shipping is a waste of money

I'm very disappointed in their shipping. I ordered a refurbished iPad.

I placed an order at around 12pm PST on Jan 11. And it's not getting delivered until Jan 17, per FedEx's tracking site. I would expect that for regular delivery, but for '2-3 day shipping' it seems awful.

I guess technically if you don't count the day it shipped (12th) as a day, and don't include Saturday, then the 17th is the end of the third day, but barely. It's just appalling.

I know the item has to ship from China, but as a consumer, that's not my problem.

I guess, depending on how you look at it, they might still be within their deadline, but I think paying extra was a waste.

i ordered a ipod touch 32GB on jan 18,2011 at 11:05 pm eastern time. I recieved a email at 10:37pm saying my order was shipped. i paid for 2-3 shipping. i dont understand why im recieving my package on jan,24 thats more then 3days and fex ex deliver in my area on saturdays. apple is ripping peope off for they money when they know your not getting your package until after 3days.

Just because you have saturday delivery day, doesn't mean they have to. Usually its in business days kids....

fedex has two types of ground shipping. "regular ground"
and "fedex home delivery" ground is delivered Mon-Fri and
Home is delivered Tues-Sat.

apple ships regular ground.

In what world does the shipping day NOT count as a day? It always does. Are you saying that if it shipped the morning of the 12th and arrived on the 13th it would have arrived in 0 days?

Apple doesn't guarantee that it ships out that morning. And by your example, arrival on the 13th is one-day shipping.

what world do you live in ?

the shipping day NEVER counts as a day, a package mailed on monday
2 day air will get there wednesday. a package mailed on the 12th and
delivered on the 13th would be 1 day or next day air.
