27" Delivery time thread.

The original hold on the account is to verify funds. Sometimes they are dropped if there is a long delay between order and shipment, and sometimes they expire. Apple will reprocess the charge, if they haven already. Mine dropped off the account then reappeared shortly before shipping. As much as you might like a free iMac, Apple has the right to those funds since they shipped you the computer, and the bank doesn't care if it shipped or not unless you dispute the charge. Last time I had to dispute a charge (my wife's card number was stolen at a restaurant) I had to sign an affidavit that we didn't authorize the charge.

Oh I'm fully aware it's their money and I'm willing to give it to them if they contact me.
Another reason I didn't think the bank would do it would be how would my bank know I didn't cancel it through Apple?

A free iMac would be lovely lol, but I won't care the slightest when I pay for it

BTW I also realise normally once it's shipped the payment might submit then, well my iMac is probably 1 hour away from my house currently in transit...

Basically I'm just curious why Apple hasn't really tried to contact me to discuss it and confirmed their next move.

I still feel so bad for you, I check this thread to see if you have any movement.

The only positive thing I can tell you that once you do finally ship, it should move fast... On Froday night, my iMac was in Shanghai and by Saturday night it was already in Memphis.

Thanks! I am trying not to be sour grapes, especially since I am not the only one in this boat, but boy it would be nice to see my status change.

Evidently we have in some way transgressed and angered the tech gods. Be sure to post when your order status changes, as will I.

Ditto as of 6.15am. Front door opened and the wait begins.

Although my BTO -

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X8GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
MAGIC MOUSE+MAGIC TRACKPAD-Z

was ordered in the afternoon of November 30th (GMT), my delivery forecast is 3 - 4 weeks 2nd - 8th January 2013. It can't be because I added a trackpad too can it?

I notice many others have posted 2 - 3 weeks when ordering during the afternoon.

Is this unique to the UK or worldwide?

Gonna be a good new year though....

Mine has been in sydney since friday.
eta is today. Though no scans here yet.

I want my iMac and I want it now............please

Sorry this is slightly off topic, but ordered a bto iMac on Dec 11 and it still says processing. I know this is probably typical, but when can I expect my computer to arrive? It says available to ship in January, does that mean early or late Jan?

We still have people who ordered 1st day, Nov 30 who are waiting. Sorry, but you are in back of the line. Unless they have a surge of production, best guess right now is mid to late January.

Isn't there some sort of dance we can do to appease the Apple gods?

Check now.. Your status most likely reads "departed FedEx location, Memphis".... Which means you should get it tomorrow, hopefully

Update from my post a few hours ago now.

I ordered on nov 30, approx, 6pm cst. Although my status shows still "processing order",,, we got a credit card charge. I'm guessing delivery is gonna within day or so now!?? My config is basically ;

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8gb ram
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G
Trackpad

I hope so because I order the exact same configuration about two hours before you. I was guessing tomorrow or Tuesday based on the shipping pattern so far

Its here, Its here!!! Pictures to come.

It really is a thing of beauty! Not sure why they come out upside down??? Fixed
The "buldge" at the back is not big at all, Apple did a great job imo.

Still processing....
Ordered 11/30/12 at 8:45 pm Chicago time with governmental discount

27-inch iMac; Available to ship: 3 - 4 Weeks; Delivers Dec 31 - Jan 7 by Standard Shipping

With the following configuration:
• 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
• 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
• 1TB Fusion Drive
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1GB GDDR5
• Apple Magic Mouse
• Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
• Accessory Kit

Early on, I complained and I got shipping upgraded to next day, before noon and delivery was changed to Dec 28 - Jan 4th window. Today, I got an email from Apple stating: "Due to your recent address change, we are unable to guarantee delivery before noon. As a result, we’ve updated the shipping method to next day delivery". My delivery changed to Dec 27 - Jan 3 and my pending charge (that was there till last night) disappeared from the credit card...
I am not sure if it means that it will be shipping soon, but it still says processing. Can't wait any longer... Any thoughts?

ARRGH! Mine's been in Louisville since Friday - no movement since then. The tracking info says it will be delivered tomorrow. I want to believe that but am skeptical.
