How long does it take to get an iPad from the Apple store?
Maddy asked:
On Saturday I went to the Apple store to buy an iPad. They didn’t have any in stock, so I ordered one to be delivered to the store to be picked up. They said that when they get it in they will only keep it for 24 hours before they sell it to someone else. I leave for a trip on Thursday, will it be possible to get it by then? Please answer only from experience. Thank you!

I ordered one from the Apple Online Store, and it actually arrived nearly 2 weeks early. However, it is reasonably unlikely that it will arrive in time, there is a chance, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Sorry. John Smith
