    Its my first product ever to buy from Apple, so I have no experience with ordering from them at all.

    So I was wondering what is the meaning of:

    Shipping Method
    Merge In Transit NL

    Also does it take that long (10 days) between shipping and getting it delivered?
    Ships by: 11 Feb, 2008
    Delivers by: 21 Feb, 2008


    Do they think we can wait that long :eek:

    The problem is that I am traveling on a day between 18-20 Feb and of course I want it with me..

    I thought there is plenty of time to get it delivered to me b4 I go...


    Maybe I can save one day if I can go to the Post Office and get it myself or something!

    It's possible that you may get it earlier, but being in Sweden probably does hamper the process.Also, don't be surprised if it is not shipped exactly on the 11th. I remember when AppleTV originally shipped. It was a couple of weeks beyond the original 2 weeks.

    If something wrong will happen and it will be delayed like 2-3 weeks then that will be ok somehow, but whats not ok is that it comes after i travel by 1-2 days :)

    No clue what that means... I don't know what shipping methods Apple offers, but I don't see why you couldn't call and ask Apple to use a faster shipping method, if you were willing to pay for a faster shipping method. And compared to the cost of a Macbook Air with SSD... the extra shipping cost would probably seem pretty small.
