    I order my MBP from Apple Refurb and got it shipped 2 day. It was an extra $27 but, well worth it since I didn't have to go another weekend without it. I've had mine for about 3wks now and I'm 100% satisfied!

    I've found they ship pre-configured systems the same day, which would be the case with a refurb. 2-day is well worth it. My shipping cost $15.00.

    I just did the free shipping because I emptied my checking act until my tax return gets here, but I really wanted it.

    Usually next to the product in question it says "Ships within X-Y days". You can expect to get it within 3 days after it ships, 3+Y is a good estimate.

    Example:
    2.16GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro - Ships within 3-5 days.

    You can expect to have it within 8 days at the max.
