Has anyone with a Dec 27- Jan 3 delivery date seen a status change from processing to preparing to ship?
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

Ordered the afternoon of 11/30
For those of you still stuck in "Processing Items":
1) Confirmation email stamped 12:46am PST 11/30
i5, 8GB, 1TB FD, 680
2) Two separate pending CC charges show up around 9am PST 12/11
One for $30 shipping the other for iMac
3) As of 10:53am PST 12/12 still "Processing Items" with delivery estimate of 21-28th.
Must be on the production line having issues or something!
Between 11:26 and 11:53am PST my order changed to preparing!
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.
On a happier note, my status FINALLY went into "Preparing for Shipment" just a moment ago. I will sadly admit that I've been refreshing my order page every 10 minutes or so.
I ordered an i5-3.2, 680MX, 1gb Fusion around 12:40am shipping to California. Though it feels like none of these factors really mean much.
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.
I'm so sick of everyone else getting freebies thrown in by Apple to appease the non-existant shipping lag! I mean, trackpads and keyboards were one thing, but they sent you a CAT??? No fair!

I am pretty sure that cat is a stowaway and was escaping the inevitable death to become dinner.I'm pretty damn happy right now.
