27" Delivery time thread.

Mine shipped. It shows in my support profile and I did not buy Applecare. Estimated delivery on the 13th.

I ordered mine (i7, 680MX, 3GB Fusion) around 9:30 AM Central on the 30th. My card was just charged this morning, so looks like preparation for shipment is imminent.

Lucky lucky

Also got shipped email!

Well I give up. No rhyme or reason at all. Congrats the lucky winners, I hope the rest of us are as lucky in the coming hours.

That pretty much sums it up sports fans. I would imagine that Apple/Contractor Assembler is kicking these out the door as quickly as they can.

I would also guess that shipping vagaries can be attributed to BTO configuration, order time, purchaser location, purchaser last name, and purchasers favorite color.

Expedited shipping is irrelevant at this point as it seems they're all expedited by Apple.

I'm thinking the rest of us may not see any activity until tomorrow at the earliest. According to that Fedex page, it shipped just after 6PM from China... Unless they work 24-hours per day...

I ordered mine on 11/30 at 7am EST.
Still shows as In Processing, but the gift card I used shows a $0 balance now in Passbook and the remaining payment is on my CC as pending.
So hopefully that means it is shipping soon.

Both mine shipped and my credit card still only shows a pending amount for one of the computers. I think there rushing these things out however they can.

Virginia Beach! I upgraded my shipping over the phone to 2-3 day expedited though. Could be why

I'm in NC, expedited 2 day shipping, and mine hasn't even gotten to "preparing" still.

No rhyme or reason at all to the order these are going out

Shipped!!! Arriving Thursday the 13th.

BTO 27"/i7/680/fusion

Mine still says preparing, but the money was taken out of my bank account this morning. Hoping it will ship soon!

One thing I just noticed is that the delivers dates changed from Dec 21-27 to Dec 20-27.

Looks like the expedited shipping is making a big difference after all. 3 days to deliver? DAmn!

Delivering the 18th which I feel will be earlier because both my iPhone5 and MacbookPro came from china and I had them in 4 days with standard ship.

BTO
3.4 I7
8GB RAM
1TB Fushion
GTX 675MX 1G
Trackpad

BTW, what is the battery charger that I am seeing as an option? Never heard of that with an iMac.

They also quoted me the 18th, so I hope you're right about it getting here sooner : )

The battery charger is for the wireless keyboard and mouse, first I misread the notification and thought they threw one in for free, but then I noticed that it says 'no charger' on the side.

Anyways, AWESOME!

No change for me still processing and no pending funds on my bank account yet looks like it may still be a day or two for some of us launch day oders.

Mine shipped as well!! Ordered around 4am central time. i5 1tb fusion, 680.
Guess I need to get that memory ordered!!!!

How the hell is this possible, good for you though!!!

I ordered my maxed out 27" BTO on the 30th but not in the USA. In France actually.

So i guess you guys are served first... I can't take this wait anymore!

At least hopefully when yours are shipped my fellow europeans and myself will be the next in line.

same machine, ordered as quickly as possible when it went live just before 3AM ET, and expedited to "2 Business Days"... STILL says "processing items"

BAH!

Called Apple to make sure everything was OK with my order... ie. no credit card issues... The guy said everything looks OK. So I told him that I'm seeing a lot of other people having theirs shipped out... even though they ordered after me. He said "as far as I know, only the non-customized ones are going out... people with customized units are waiting in line." He then went on to say that I'm all set to have mine go out as scheduled on the 21st. I knew he was wrong about the customized orders, but figured there's no point in arguing, since it wouldn't do anything anyway...

I just hope its here by Christmas.
