Located in SoCal. Ordered around 12pm PST 11/30/12. So far still processing. Used Edu site. Mine is listed as 2 day business shipping.
3.4Ghz Core i7, 1TB fusion, 8GB ram, 675MX, Magic mouse. No software add on.
I ordered on 12/2 at around 11:45pm ET and mine is still in processing. My initial ship dates were 2-8th, but after asking for expedited shipping I'm in the 28-4th bracket. Now if I could only learn to have patience...

I'm in the same boat as you. I ordered around the same time, started with 1/2-1/8 and then moved to 12/28-1/4 after being upgraded to next day shipping.
How did you manage to get next day shipping? Did you specifically ask for it, or was it offered to you free of charge?
From what I heard from Apple, any backordered item ships out by the fastest method possible. The iMac is considered backordered I was told. Hope that means we'll all have next day shipping.

Do they shut down over the weekend .... or is there still hope that status will change before Monday ......
Is it correct to assume that if we can see ours move to prepare to ship by as late as Monday then we might see them by the end of the week?
Depends on the shipping method you chose. FedEx will make it by the end of the week but I'm pretty sure UPS would not
