As the title says, I'm getting a MB for my mother, she's not savvy and to save her money I suggested a refurb. My only issue is I'd like to have it ASAP so I can load it up, get it setup prior to giving to her.

How long after placing an order (Approx, avg) from Apple does a refurb deliver? Not NEW, new delivery times don't help, just a refurb from those who have dealt with buying refurbs from Apple.


Thanks in advance for the help.
 
we ordered a refurbished black macbook and selected the two day delivery... we ordered it on a tuesday night and got it on friday. ;o)

good luck!
 
My experience with refurbs has been that they usually ship within a day of the order, depending on what tie you place it.

The last two refurbs I've bought (MBP) have gotten to me within 2-3 days of placing the order, and that's without expedited shipping.

Thanks for the replies.

Got the refurb 2.2 (previous model, identical to one in my sig) and picked up a Logitch V470 mouse and a Higher Ground Shuttle Bag with 2 day ship and it says delivery by Friday.
