So that's why it is taking so long to ship ... they have to round up more cats and get them in the box before sending them out to the customers.
Apple customer service sucks
When I call and asked why I seemed to have been skipped, I am told that unless I can provide an order number of the persons who I claimed got their order, they can't verify. They are basically saying I can't prove that others shipped before. Like the thousands of posts on this thread are all trying to wind me up. Photos of of received iMacs all photoshop or something.
Right. Thanks. Have a great day Apple.

Being that I have the worst luck with this type of stuff, and my order finally went to "Preparing", I'd venture to guess that most orders that came in 11/30 (or at least the half of that day) are going to be shipped out this week or early next week. And if it's true that we're all getting upgraded to expedited, I'd be shocked if those orders didn't arrive before the end of next week. That's no consolation to those of us who're still waiting.. but the big picture is that we're all probably getting our iMacs well ahead of Apple's original promised time-window. And maybe we should just be happy for those who got *lucky* and got theirs this week. Sigh, maybe it's time I resign from this thread... which I certainly will do once I get a ship notice
I ordered mine at 12:15 Pacific on 11/30 and mine just went to prep. for shipment overnight. I called yesterday and the guy told me that they process on a "first-come-first-serve" basis... and that I can't believe everything I see online.
He was implying that:
a) People are posting fake screenshots
or
b) People are lying about what time they actually placed their order
Your best bet is to check your credit card. The pattern seems to be that they charge your card one day, it goes to preparing to ship about 24 hours after that, and then after another 12-14 hours to actually ship.
Maybe there is a pattern! I have almost identical time/specs as you.
i5, 680, 1GB FD around 12:45am shipping to CA, just switched to preparing.
N is not equal to 1. There are hundreds.
I really can't believe that all the posts here are BS. I think Apple dropped the ball.

Ordered 11/29 @ 11:56 PM PST. The full amount was charged 12/10 to my AmEx. Order is still processing though.
3.4GHz i7, 8GB, 1TB F, GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5, Trackpad
<grumble grumble grumble>
Same exact response to my query. I placed order on 30th Nov 3 minutes after the iMac went live on sale. Order status still friggin' "Processing".. Dec 21-28.
Every 10 minutes? Amateur!
I've written a melancholy and haunting new song called, "I'm Bitter and My Soul is Crushed."
Seriously, though, as disappointed as I am, the delivery window on my order is Dec. 21-28, so it's not as if Apple has given me any indication that they won't meet that time frame. It just stinks that lots of other 27" iMacs ordered at the same time or later have already shipped, or in some cases, been received.

I am pretty sure that cat is a stowaway and was escaping the inevitable death to become dinner.
I'm totally kidding people, GOSH.
Same here. Order time was 11/29 11:57pm and quoted delivery date 20-27. I'm stuck at Processing even though my card was charged over a day ago.
It's clear they are not processing orders in the order received. Unfortunately, I doubt the Apple reps have any idea what is going on. I had called just to ensure everything is ok with the order and they don't have more information than what is on the order screen. Anything beyond that information just seems to be a guess or opinion of that rep.
Yes, I did order mine (2.9GHz, 16GB 3TB FD) on 11/30 and the delivery date is also Dec 27 - Jan 3.

And, wouldn't you know it, UPS. Erg.
