Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.
I apologize for any misunderstanding about the delivery estimate for your order.
"Apple iMac MB953LL/A 27-Inch Desktop" hasn't been released yet and the expected release date is not known. We rely on the manufacturer for release date information.
Once this item has been released and we receive copies, we will be able to ship it to you. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks between the release and distribution of a new publication.
When your order is shipped, you should receive an e-mail message confirming the date, contents, and method of your shipment. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the shipping process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is available and we have shipped it to you.
If you'd rather cancel your order, I understand. To cancel your order, go to the URL below and click the "Need to cancel an item?" button:
