How long does it take apple to send confirmation email?

[elie.fares]

Hey,

I ordered a macbook pro and an iPod touch yesterday and didn't get a confirmation email so I cancelled.
I contacted the bank today and everything is in order so I ordered again and it's been 2 hours and I didn't get the confirmation email yet.

Does it usually take this long?
I've never bought on the online apple store before. I got the "thank you for your order" thing and everything so I'm sure they accepted the credit card. I'm not sure why the email is taking forever and it's getting me to be a little edgy.

Have you checked your junk mail? If it's not there, have to tried calling Apple to see if they have a record of your order?

It took 23 hours for me.

You cancelled the order just because you didn't get a timely email from them? All you had to do to confirm your order was in place was to go to Apple's online store and check your account. Don't be so hasty, check all your available options first, including coming here BEFORE you cancel.

Usually anywhere from 24-48 hours. I don't know why it takes that long. I know for confirmations for AppleCare it can come anywhere from a few days to even up to 3 weeks.

I ordered one yesterday around 3 or so in the afternoon and got a shipment confirmation around 8 in the evening.
