In my case it took around 1.5 month when I ordered 6.06LTS and 1 month when I ordered 7.04.
Mine came late because I made a custom list (1 x86; 1 x64; 1 Mac in 6.06LTS and 1 x86; 1x64 in 7.04). If you choose from the given list then it should come within 2-3 weeks.

prasad is right. DO NOT over order:)

First of all If you have BB Connection then download. If you don't have then let us know where u live. May be you can pick up from one of us. Finally if everything fails then order. :)

Actually it was like this:

I placed my 1st order and waited for 3 months but no CD came. So I placed a 2nd order and this time I wrote to them complaining about the inefficiency of their shipping department. I also told them that due to their inefficient shipping the Ubuntu CDs which failed to arrive at my house was probably being used as coasters right now at some place on this earth.

The result: A new pack of CDs withing 5 days!! ;)
