If ordered from the Apple website: it says "ships in 7-10 business days"... which is cutting it too close (by the July 10 deadline). Am I screwed for now? ...or anyone have any suggestions besides eBay?
If you actually ordered it online I'm not sure what will happen if you simply go to the local store website and put yourself in the queue for an in-store delivery. I had to wait about a week. BTW ordering it for in-store delivery was a lot easier than contacting the local Apple store. Some of the geniuses are less knowledgeable than others. I don't mean that as a knock but simply a statement of the way things work in the real world.
