I'm so sorry. I was afraid that my iMac wouldn't show up as promised on Tuesday, but I got lucky and it did. Mine was coming from Amazon and not Apple, though.

It's G4 iBook REPLACEMENT for a dead G3 iBook that failed under AppleCare after 2 years and 10 Months.

You lose one day to International Date Line ?
You lose one day to customs. (UPS RED from Canada takes two days)
You don't count Saturday.
You don't count Sunday.
Sounds about right.

You can lose another day if you take the time to read all the fine print. Smile

Maybe they count overnight only from the time it reaches the US.
