Only once in my life I had to send something back to apple (can't remember what). Being in London and only had to get the item to Ireland, it went via Holland and the same on the way back. If I'd had the time I could have done it quicker myself. On the other hand, my fiancee lives in Oregon and FedEx can get stuff there in 24 hours... Generally less. Say, 5pm UK in time for 10 am OR. with a fairly direct route. One once went via Memphis (?) Distribution hubs and logistics is something of a black art It sure is weird how it works.
