How long did your magic bands take to show up?

We will be staying offsite for a 2 week trip. We plan on activating our AP's the day we arrive, then they will send our magic bands. But I don't know whether to bother having them shipped to our vacation villa, or just have them sent to our house.
I am a newb because I have been using up my No-exp passes and have never had a magic band before. It's kind of exciting!
 
I'd ship to your house.


Once you activate your AP you'll see a pop up in your MDE to customize your Magic Band(s). Once you start customizing, finish everyone's bands up and be done with the customizing. Idk if they've changed it since I did it about 2 years ago, but once you start customizing, they give you until the next day to finalize before they lock it and get ready to ship. I was up late one night, customized my band and was going to have my girlfriend customize hers in the morning when she got up. Well since I customized mine around 11pm, next day rolls around and I got an email letting me know the bands were being prepared to be shipped. So no one else could customize theirs and they were being shipped just grey ones. CM was able to set another set after I called..but definitely customize all together.

Once you customize and they are being prepared it didn't take that long. Seemed like maybe 24-48 hours if I recall. Then I got an email they shipped. Anytime I've gotten Magic Bands I've received them 2 days after they shipped..but others have reported waiting close to a week. So I'd just ship them to your house to be safe
 
I got the shipping notification email on Apr 14 and my Magic Bands arrived the next day on the 15th. I was really surprised that they arrived that fast, they never have before. But I have always gotten mine within a few days, less than a week.
