Applie.ie delivery times

Eogclouder

Hey all,

I plan to order the 2013 macbook air tonight when I get home from work. I would like to get it delivered to my office but I finish up here next Friday (the 30th).

How are apples shipping and delivery times? Would I get it before I left this job?

I ordered an iPad from them a few weeks ago and had it next day

I ordered my MacBook Air on Saturday 20 July and it arrived on Monday 29th. (See this thread:

I think delivery time may depend on whether or not you order the MBA as is, or configure it (I got extra RAM in mine). But if you're not getting anything extra (RAM, bigger flash drive or faster processor), why not just go into somewhere like Compu B and buy it there and then?

Ah right. Mine took 3 working days from dispatch to arrive.

It's up to 12% so it's less than that on most items.

Plus you can get the discount in compub

Quick question lads, if I was to order the iPhone 5s direct from Apple.ie once its released would I be likely to get it around the same time as the carriers or would I be as well buying a PAYG direct from a shop? Also is there likely to be a price drop on the iPhone 4 or will the 5c or whatever its called be cheaper again?

I ordered an iMac a few weeks ago. Delivery time was stated as '3-4' days on the website when I ordered.

Ordered it on a Monday and received it a week and a half later.

For apple products I'd really recommend Jigsaw24. Ordered a custom macbook air and got it delivered the next day!
I even made a mistake with my vat no. and they didn't send it out till 6pm!

They don't do the same deal/student discount unfortunately!

Apple will most likely release the iPhone 5S a week later than the big countries (USA, UK, France etc) here in Ireland. By the time it becomes available to purchase on the Irish site there is usually a shipping delay of 3-4 weeks so it would be around October 25th or later when you get your iPhone if you buy from Apple.com/ie on what I expect the release day to be September 27th in Ireland.

Irish retailers get the phone on the release day but it's unlikely the big carriers will be selling on PAYG, they usually get limited stock of iPhone's and sell only on Bill Pay for the first couple of months. (That's what Vodafone do anyway, I think three had it on Pre-Pay on launch last year though).

iPhone 4 is likely to be discontinued with the three options being iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C (plastic colour option to replace the iPhone 5) & iPhone 4S being the cheaper model.

Thanks for the reply, great detail . I'm not in any hurry to get it so i've no problem waiting, I was just curious.

I see so the 5c specs will actually be pretty good then? I kinda figured they'd be like a mid range android. Seems a bit strange to release a "cheaper" iPhone but have it more expensive than the 4s which is still retailing for around €400 isn't it?

23% off if you...ahem... need it for business purposes.

There'll probably be two Apple events, Sept and Oct.

They surely would release the Mac Pro at the Sept event, after showing us the sneak peek back in June?

My guess would be iphones/mac pros in September, and thunderbolt display/ipad 5 October.
