Maybe yours missed the flight yesterday (there's only two per day). Since you're in the NE like me, yours may take the same route as mine... We'll see during the day ;)


My FedEx status JUST updated in the last half hour to add:

10:56 pm In transit SHANGHAI CN
10:51 pm International shipment release - Import SHANGHAI CN

So I just called Apple to check on upgrading to expedited shipping. They kept me on hold for 20 minutes, and then told me that it's not really an option and won't really make a difference. Also, if you buy apple care, it starts on the day of your order, which is ridiculous, since you spend a month for the computer to just get there.

You have to ask for 2-3 day or overnight shipping. Expediated is standard.

I just called Apple for the second day in a row, told them how I don't understand why I ordered within 5 minutes of the process going live, yet my order is still processing whilst others have already got brand new 27" iMacs on their desks.

To be honest they were pretty nice, however I had to listen to the usual bs like "have you checked your order status online?" (I couldn't really reply "how about every 5 minutes?" lol) but then she asked me to hold while she talked to her manager...
...when she came back, she couldn't really help further with the actual order but they did give me a 3-digit discount on the iMac for being a good customer -it is hard to sound angry after that. I still just want my order to ship already though, all the discounts in the world won't help with that
:(

I'm officially excited now!!! Was in a meeting when I received the order shipped email from Apple at 9:06am ET. It's coming FedEx and they expect it arrive on Tuesday, Dec. 18th!

So... I just checked out your firm's page and you guys are awesome. So, I sent you my resume :)

Did any of you whose order either shipped or changed to preparing for shipment order through the business store? And did anyone who is still waiting for a change order via the business store? I'm just grasping at straws here to try and figure out why mine is still processing. I don't really think it has anything to do with that, but it would just be nice to find some sort of logic here.

I did order mine via the EPP store. I went there looking for a discount. It didn't offer a discount but the order was still placed from there. I don't see anything on my order that mentions it is EPP though.

Since I'm stuck at Processing, ordered 11/29 11:57PM PST, and have a delivery date of Dec 20-27, I feel like there must be something going on given that most of the orders after mine have shipped or are preparing.

Well it shipped this morning for me. Overnight but will receive it the 17th. Was hoping for Friday but knew that was probably a pipe dream.

Fedex. From what I have seen, Apple always adds a day.

Many people are saying they are even receiving a day earlier then Fedex delivery estimate.

Mine still says that, but since I have UPS MyChoice, it gives me email updates. Mine is coming Friday. Yours may be, too. Better sign up (it's free). They will send you an email with updates.

Mine was on the same flight and the last scan MyChoice account shows is the departure from Alaska. I see other sow an arrival scan but mine doesn't.

I have the paid version of MyChoices and haven't received the day before delivery e-mail. Still shows delivery of 12/17.

We might have been the first group to ship but definitely not the first to receive.
