I'm gearing up to buy a 27" inch w/ 3.4ghz i7 & 2GB VRAM and curious whether Apple has these ready to go at a U.S. warehouse or if they are shipping direct from China.

I'm interested in knowing so I can select the proper shipping method. If it ships from China then I can do the free shipping but if it's shipping from a U.S. warehouse then I'll go 2day.

Ordered May 4th.

Delivers 6th-10th.
I paid for next day delivery. Hoping it ships on Thursday, but will be surprised if it does.
 
I ordered my BTO 27" iMac w/o SSD around 9:30am Pacific time on May 3rd (I live in Arizona). I have priority (overnight) shipping, and it also says that it will be delivered as early as Friday the 6th, or by the 10th. It's supposed to ship within 2-4 business days, and tomorrow (Thursday) is the first day it could possibly ship out. I am praying that it does!!! If it ships after tomorrow, I won't get it until after the weekend and I'm going out of town next week 🙁

You in Australia too?
It really does suck we can't order any type of special shipping.
 
Ordered my 27" 3.4GHz i7 with 2Gb 6970 on May 3rd around 9am EST. It's been "prepared for shipment" since 10pm EST last night. So, I expect it to arrive tomorrow since I paid for overnight.

They confirmed my order and it's going to be shipped in 3 workdays and it will be delivered 16 may or earlier.

Coulda been here today though i'm only a 4hour motorway (highway) drive from Cork but i guess I shouldn't complain lol. Can't wait for tomorrow now though!😀:apple:
