The iMac I ordered on December 3rd is stuck in "Preparing for shipment" since last Monday.

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
MAGIC TRACKPAD-Z
Apple WL Kybd+User's Guide-FN
COUNTRY KIT-ZH

Same for me. I think they will ship on Friday or Saturday. A few pallets full of iMacs for Europe every week.

What is the average time of waiting after the imac status has change to "preparing for shipping". Just wondering. How long it actually takes to make it and for them to show ship.

Maybe add "Date Preparing"?

Did you mean Delivery Window, or Preparing for Shipment -> Shipped time? Good suggestion, but I think it's a big enough spreadsheet as is, and Preparing for Shipment -> Shipped took between 1-2 days for almost everyone. Delivery Window would be a good idea...

"Date (if) Preparing" to show when status changed and so we can see how long these are in each status. See how Entry 13 noted under Status the date it changed to Preparing.

Mine shipped within a day when it shows preparing for shipment.
Timezone for me, same as Shanghai.

Just from reading about everyone's orders, 1-2 days.

Has anyone ordered in late December? I'm behind the 8-ball here. I got a 21" base model for Xmas and returned the 26th and ordered fully loaded 27" and it's in Processing Items stage.

How long should I expect to wait. It seems like order in early December haven't even been fulfilled. I'm getting anxious. Hopefully arrives by February.
