If you go to the store, you're missing it for days as well. I was told a repair would take 3-5 biz days after I dropped it off - drop off on Monday, Tuesday is first biz day, etc. So.. effectively up to 1 week no computer, out min $300, and no replacement in the meantime.

It probably depends on where you go and what the problem is.

I've had 1 day turnaround from my local Apple store on a repair. On another repair (replace failing SSD) they fixed it in a few hours.

They also replaced an iPhone 5C screen in a few hours.
