Does it seriously take a week to get a snowball? You'd think with all the logistics Amazon owns...



A week to go from requesting a Snowball to having your data in the cloud. For example, place the request Monday morning, receive it Wednesday afternoon, immediately get started filling it, ship it back Thursday afternoon, they receive it on Saturday, hook it up, your data is in your AWS storage by the end of the day Sunday.


I think they meant a week to request it, receive it, fill it, send it back, upload it to S3.
