Apple Premium Reseller 27 inch

I ordered on Dec 3 from an APR and call every 2 weeks and the lady always says that they have no new information, although on the last call I made this week she told me that even though their information hasn't changed they are expecting that my iMac and 2 others that where ordered on Nov 30 should arrive by the 25th of January i'm just hoping she's right at this point.
The apple care through BH is not half off, it's about 28% off.
From apple=$169
From BH =$122
When I ordered my iMac it came with Apple Care bundled and I was only charged $61 for it. So yes half off.
Unless it was a previous model of the imac, not the current "LATE 2012" model, Apple Care does not come "bundled".
It is a add on for a discounted price, as show on the BH website.
Here is the "stock 27 inch 2.9ghz with 8 megs of ram from B&H Photo"

Nice thread!
Same story here. Ordered mine on december 6th, at A-mac Amersfoort, The Netherlands. They can't tell me anything about the expected delivery date.
My old 24" iMac died, so I'm working full time on a 13" alu macBook for a month now. Driving me crazy.
27", 3,2 Ghz, 1TB Fusion, 8GB, 675MX
Quite frustrating that others who ordered directly at Apple with similar specs have already received their orders, while mine isn't there yet.
Before I placed the order, I asked the sales guy at A-mac whether it would make any difference in delivery date if I buy at Apple or at them. He answered with 'It comes all from the same place, so no it doesn't make any difference'.
He lied. Last time I bought stuff @ A-mac Amersfoort.
I just got word from my premium reseller who spoke directly with Apple. The expected delivery is mid February. More than 2 months delivery time, quite chocking!
I've spent 6.000 euros on Apple products the last 12 months and now they are really pissing me off. This is not acceptable.

I ordered 3x i5, from our local APR on 4/12/12. No sign of them yet and the APR seems to have no idea when I am likely to get them.
I could have bought them directly from Apple for the same money (I had a quote) and would almost certainly have received them by now.
I will know for next time thats for sure.

In Finland. It's a small, local Premium Reseller.
They also said that the delivery time has slipped to 6 weeks now (apple website still says 3-4 weeks).
BH Photo told me about 7 days ago that they were waiting for 40 units. Out of those 40 they have 19 orders to fill. The balance will go into their inventory.
When I ordered a BTO Macbook Air there was no "pallet" as far as I know, delivery time was about two weeks.
I don't know about the iMac though, my reseller said they have a bunch of iMac orders laying around, all waiting for delivery.
Ordering directly from Apple is a whole lot faster, that's for sure.
man not to burst anyones hope but I was also told up to 6 weeks and I ordered on Decemeber 3, 2012 its been 7 weeks now and the best news I've heard is when I called in 4 days ago and the lady said it MIGHT come in on friday 25th of January so I've been waiting a long time now more than I hoped..
Same here in Switzerland. Ordered from a local reseller on 3. dec. Still waiting and no ETA given. I really wish my "baby" will arrive soon.
Mine was placed 12/25. they told me today that Apple shipped it yesterday, but have no idea how long it takes to get to B&H. anyone knows?
I ordered last night on B&H and just called their customer service for an estimate. The person I spoke to checked for me and said they expect 1-2 weeks for delivery. He made sure to mention that it is not guaranteed, but according to the shipment they have coming in, it should be on track for that.
Crossing my fingers because that would be much sooner than the month+ I was expecting.
For those curious, I ordered the 3.4GHz i7, 8 GB Ram, 3TB Fusion, GTX 680MX. It came with Parallels 8 for free along with a discounted version of AppleCare (and no tax!).
