Lol, good point. I just realized that I had hopes for mine actually arriving before the 18th because in the past my apple products always showed up within 4 days upon shipping. And I just remembered that was with Fedex and now it is coming UPS. No wonder it is taking 8 days, ARGH! The Apple rep advised against expediting stating that there was little difference. Im not to sure about that now.

Yea, that is just wrong and Fedex would be hearing from me and replacing a monitor. Neither of the two are perfect im sure, I just have had better luck with Fedex in my area. Although, I have gotten to know the UPS driver fairly well and SHE takes good care of the product she delivers. She will even put it in the back door if she is having problems with the front. Really good service from her.
That rep didn't know what they were talking about. This isn't like iPad/iPhone preorders which are "guaranteed" to arrive on release date. For those no matter what shipping you chose they arrive on release date.
These aren't preorders....2-3 shipping will arrive 2-3 days after they ship and slower than that for free shipping.
I Just called apple hoping to upgrade from Standard to Expedited shipping, and she said they are all be shipped Expedited and if she changes it my order status to Expedited it will just slow it down.
For those that have had their status change to Preparing for Shipment or Shipped:
Are you receiving an email stating the status has changed? or are you doing as I have been and looking every 30 minutes at the Order Status page on the Apple Store site?
Ok so here is a breakdown of what I am seeing.
- Orders are being fulfilled in a very random order. Some members ordered HOURS before others yet still show a status of processing while others who ordered late (myself included) show shipped. This applies to orders that are the exact same BTO setup in the same country.
- It seems that we can conclude that those who chose expedited shipping will have a delivery from the time it leaves the factory of 2-3 days while those who stayed with the standard shipping seems to be 5-7. I chose standard shipping at checkout but called within twenty minutes of placing my order to have it bumped up to expedited. Apple reps were telling people that all orders were expedited however I now believe they were probably referring to expedited "processing" time. This to me would make sense since my order went from processing yesterday to shipped within 12 hours. As some of you know Newegg.com has an option when you check out to "rush processing" which is an extra $3 but basically states that once the order comes through they rush it through processing and get it shipped as fast as possible. This does not mean, however, that shipping changes. That stays the same unless you wish to upgrade for a price. So if your item ships via UPS it seems you have standard shipping where as those that ship Fedex have expedited shipping.
I haven't really seen any specifics on iMac's that have shipped but does anyone have an iMac that shipped where they called to get a free trackpad, keyboard, etc.? I am curious if all those orders that got bumped ahead of others were possibly due to this delaying them.
I placed my order on 11/30 at 12:15PST. I called and they offered me expedited shipping and a magic mouse (I bought it with a trackpad). Mine is still processing.

I was told the same - that all shipments would be shipped on Expedited shipping service (not standard) and that she could change my order if I wanted to (for peace of mind) but she said her supervisor told them earlier that day that if they change any orders, it will delay the process - so I decided to leave well enough alone.

Same here.
Lost mine, currently "Preparing for Shipment". Ordered 6AM PST the day of launch.
EDIT: I ordered a fully loaded w/ default memory.
Do you know if we will get an email once our orders goes from processing to "Preparing for shipment"?27" 3.4ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 768GB SSD, 680MX
Shipped and in the Fedex system for delivery on the 13th of December via 2-3 day.
(Currently in China.)
You can imagine my surprise when I woke up this afternoon and had an email from Apple pop up on my iPhone "One of your items has shipped." I went bonkers, I had expected this thing in 2 weeks! Wow-why is everyone raging over these... A week and a half from brand new release, to ultimate iMac heaven? I'm happy!
Now to sell my loaded 27" 2011 model >_> Maybe I can hurry and still catch the Christmas window
Some people have standard shipping (3-5 days) and others have expedited (2-3 days)
Omg pretty sure that guy got fired
So you kept yours the same, or did you have them change it to Expedited on your order?
