Shipping date

Hello! I bought an ipad, it was shipped today and I received the tracking number, but it comes from China and has an estimated delivery date of February 9.


1.- Is it normal that it comes from China?. It's the first time I've bought on the Apple website and I thought it would be sent from the nearest store


2.- Will it arrive on the indicated date or is it possible that it will take longer?


-Thanks to whoever answers

Have you ordered a personalised device - i.e., with engraving? If so, this will explain the shipping point-of-origin as China.


Apple’s personalised devices are engraved at point of manufacture (for iPad, this is China) and will be shipped directly to the customer. Non-personalised devices are more likely to ship from a regional distribution centre that will located must closer to you - usually within your own country/region.
