Apple Delivery - How Long!

Relates to Peregrinations

What is it with Apple's delivery services? I ordered my Touch last Thursday once I was pretty confident the screen issues had been resolved thinking that within a week I would have this fine piece of technology in my hands. But oh no! Despite apparently being shipped on 29th September, the delivery date was forecast to be between 5th and 10th October. I remember my iMac rocked up in record time so took these estimates with a pinch of salt but occasionally I have been checking the shipment status to see how things are going along. Since Tuesday the status has reported In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly. Fine! But today one thing has changed - the estimated delivery date has been changed to 11th October!? Not a range of dates just Thursday 11th.

So it will take 14 days in total to deliver a teeny package. Where is this final destination - the moon?

I wait in hope that it will arrive earlier but this is a really poor service! Come Apple UK, sort out those couriers please. I guess I shouldn't grumble since I won't be flashing my Touch around the place until the Griffin Reflect hits the streets.
