I ordered my first ever Apple computer on 25th March - estimated delivery date 03 - 04 April

Configuration - iMac 27"

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

As of 21:00 hrs tonight (Saturday 30/03/2013) my order is still showing 'Processing Items'

Still 'Processing Items' :(

When it changes to 'Preparing for Dispatch' typically how long will it be before it arrives?

Ordered mine on the 27th. BTO 27", 3.4, 1tbF, 680

Still says processing, expected to ship within 4-6 days of ordering, so should ship today or tomorrow. It's annoying because I am mac less until then! Don't think I can make another week with just iPad and iPhone!

I paid for express shipping, anyone if this actually makes a difference?

I've known it to go to preparing for dispatch for about an hour then gone to dipatched. :) good luck on your order getting to you soon.

You were right - checked this morning at 8.00am and it had moved to 'Preparing to Dispatch' and just got the text message saying it has been 'Dispatched' :D

Looking at delivery sometime tomorrow - was told on the 25th March it would arrive on the 3rd/4th April so pretty pleased they have met their projected delivery schedule.

I ordered a BTO (with Fusion Drive) last Thursday. I think despatch time was showing as 4-5 working days.

Yesterday I got my despatch confirmation email which states expected delivery on the 4th.

Checking the order in the store it states expected delivery 5th-9th April, and if I click tracking then it says 5th April but also says that it's in transit to destination country and to expect an update in 4-5 working days.

:)

I don't think I'll get too hopeful about getting it this week, unless the tracking changes soon. Still, at least the timescales are still in line with what I was initially expecting. They just raised my hopes for a while.

Edit: Just checked UPS and it is showing as having left Dublin last night and scheduled delivery is tomorrow, so you never know.

Shame I'm likely to be out tomorrow afternoon though. I'd better check where the local UPS depot is so I can collect it on Friday if necessary.
