in the Apple Store, when it says EST SHIP and then says 7-10 days, does that mean the product will be at my house in 7-10 days or will it leave Apple in 7-10 days.
"Shipping date" for just about everything means the date it will be shipped out of the warehouse. You'll probably get the items at different dates depending on how close or far apart the shipping date is.
They should give you some sort of Airborne Express tracking number when it's actually "Shipped."
