Strange, i got 27-29th of September delivery date despite having ordered and paid within 30 seconds of the Apple Store app opening. I even got the email order confirmation at 09:05 (local time sales opened at 09.01, app opened at 09.04 and web page opened at 09:13). While it says end of september, it also says ships within 6-8 working days, meaning it would ship at the 20th at the latest.
Every other time i've ordered stuff from Apple the shipping time has been 1-2 days, yet here they are expecting 7-9 days? Is it normal for the system to give odd delivery dates like this on pre order days?
Edit: I ordered the 7 + 32GB matte black
