Anyone else order their 27" iMac from B&H?

Has anyone else ordered their iMac from B&H?
I was enticed by their offer of free parallels 8, and $61 applecare with the purchase of a new computer.
However like everyone else ordering 27" iMacs, the waiting game has begun.
I called them up and they said they haven't had any shipments from apple. Anyone else have any similar experiences?

I ordered a 27 with the GTX 675 late January and received it about a week ago now. After my order was in, I noticed the stock said pre-order again. :O

I still recall they have some models available, such as the 27 1,800 dollars one.

Wow. They must have had that particular model in stock at the time.
I ordered around the same time and still haven't heard anything.

Just placed an order for a 27"

3.4GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core
8GB of 1600Hz DDR3 RAM
1TB Fusion Drive
nVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX Graphics (2GB)

Feb 14th -- no estimated delivery -- just hope. this feels like a lottery system -- only thing to do now is wait.

Good luck. I ordered that same model from them and it showed up at my house in less than 24 hours...all of the way from New York => California.

I ordered the 27" with 8GB Ram, i7, 680MX on 1/21 and I received it this past Monday (2/11).

It was a smooth transaction and the iMac is in perfect condition. No scratches, dead pixels, light bleeding, yellow tinting on the screen or image retention. No complaints!

Goddamnnnn,
I called them up and had them e-mail me a specific date only to receive an e-mail telling me 2-3 more weeks :/

I hope adding my magic trackpad into the mix didn't cause more delay.

the delay was prolly caused by the iMac you added to your order

How did you get them to change your order to a magic trackpad? Did you have to call them?

gotta remember when ordering from B&H they are are closed on Saturdays and a host of religious holidays , which could prolong things.

FWIW, I ordered a custom configuration from B&H and received it in less than a week at my house! Very impressive.
