How did you order you iMac

Ordered my 21.5 inch iMac (still in the box, until Christmas ) on Friday evening and it was delivered (UK btw) Monday afternoon.

I got mine through an authorized dealer who was giving better prices than Apple itself. It will take 45 days or shorter though starting last week. I do not mind the wait as Apple's expected to ship those ordered directly from them roughly the same time period.
