When will I get my items?

Once your items ship from our warehouse, we’ll email you a Shipment Notification with an estimated delivery date and tracking information. If you chose to pick up your items at an Apple Retail Store, we’ll email you when each item becomes available. You can pick up items as they become available, usually within an hour, or wait and pick up all of your items at once. For items “In Stock,” this is usually within an hour.

Can I pick up my items at an Apple Retail Store?

Yes. Simply tap the “Pick up this item” option for each item you’d like to pick up. Items marked “In Stock” can usually be picked up within an hour of receiving your Order Acknowledgement email.
