Fixing a Mac abroad - how long does it take?

[yyy]

I know that when you buy a Mac you get an international warranty, but I heard that if you want to fix a Mac which was bought abroad you need to wait about a week to get a permission from Apple - is that true?

Not in my experience.

So how long did it take until your computer got fixed? It takes 21 days where I live so I'm wondering if that's is considered a long time or not.

It took about 2 weeks to replace my dead video card. They had to wait for the part to arrive from the US.

It really depends; I wanted to have my SuperDrive replaced and they told me a week, so I didn't end up having that done. One of my keys was wearing down and they replaced it in-store.

Where I live it takes about a week just to get a permission from Apple to do the fix, not including the time it takes to fix the problem so I was wondering if that happens in other countries as well. Guess not.
