I'm a Dec 1ster, and was given the Dec 28-Jan 4 timeframe. I know people who ordered after me are getting their orders, I really don't care, as long as it is here during the timeframe they gave me. Who cares if other people got it early, you will get it eventually.

While it's lovely that you don't care, I do happen to care that my order was skipped over. I'm not going to judge you for not caring, however.

If you guys had an Import Scan in KY this morning it will leave that place later today and you should have it tomorrow. That's what many of us saw, the import scan was the one taking too long.

I just got mine a few minutes ago. Put it on my desk now and will wait for it to adjust to room temperature, it's freezing to the touch so I don't want to run it just yet. Looks beautiful right now, physically I saw no defects (although it isn't as clean as other Apple products I've gotten, some smudges on screen and back that definitely show human touched it, even if wearing gloves). I've cleaned it all up and will run it soon to see if it's as nice as my old 2009 iMac was when I got it.

It looks like me, Kronen, Ryan.Tanner, were all on the same pallet. I also feel for telebump.

But finally at 10:17 am there was a "import scan" whatever that means. WTF UPS? Our macs have been sitting in KY for three days!!! Get on the ball. Hopefully it will be on an outbound plane tonight for delivery tomorrow. But we'll see.

I was on that pallet too. Same dates/times/places. Delivery tomorrow!

Well, for all of you 11/30 people who are still processing, here are the results of my call. Short version - nothing. Long version - I had a nice chat with a gentleman in Customer Service, and he told me that he doesn't see anything wrong with my order, and he doesn't know why later orders are shipping before mine. He was very friendly and pleasant, but there just wasn't anything he could tell me. I had been hoping to receive it by this Friday, as 11/21 is the last day before our office closes for two weeks, and he said that could still happen IF it changes to preparing for shipment later today. But obviously, I'm not real hopeful about that. Chances are that it will arrive after I go out of town for a week and I won't be able to pick it up from my office until January 3. I just don't think it's going to be under my tree this Christmas.

I'm still stalking this thread. I just want to call bayleaves a big liar! You're a liar!!!

WHY? Because we all know there's NO WAY your 27" iMac could fit under your tree, and the chances of you having a tree THAT big is basically ZERO! :p

In all seriousness, WTF is up with Apple's processing/build/delivery process? Seriously! I've been racking my brain and nothing makes sense... :(

Actually, you are right. I don't even have a tree. We always travel at Christmas, so we don't bother setting up a tree at home. You got me! ;)

Believe me, I am as puzzled as you. It just seems so incredibly random.

DELIVERED!!! :)

It was supposed to be delivered tomorrow morning at 10.30am but FEDEX came this morning instead at 10.31am.

My computer was shipped from Shanghai on 12/14 to Memphis than LA (I live in Orange County).

It was fun to share infos with you guys. Enjoy your iMac! :apple:

Even-though I ordered the trackpad, they threw a mouse for free in the box without I ask for it. :)

All u UPS guys. Remember that those of us who got the original Dec 10th shipping notice.

Well it took 7 physical days from the original scan in China.

So if you got a scan in China on Dec 14th. Consider yourself lucky if you get your iMac earlier than Dec 21st.

My Dec 10th shipped imac from china arrived in just one hour ago today (Dec 17th).

It spent 2 days getting out of China. One day in Alaska. 2 days clearing customs in Lousiville. Left Lousiville Saturday morning (459am 12/15/2012). No other updates until 605am that it was on truck out for delivery.

Feeling solidarity with my fellow pallet-mates! :cool:

After three tedious days stuck in Kentucky and countless refreshes of the UPS tracking page, my iMac has finally departed Louisville. Hoping that yours are seeing departures, too. Hang in there, brothers and sisters!

Still waiting for a departure, but your post gives me hope.

It was nice traveling with you Kronen. I guess this is where we take different trucks. Hope you arrive with all your pixels in place. Merry Christmas!

Mine was shipped this morning, unfortunately using UPS. My estimated delivery from Apple is Dec. 6, and I have no estimate from UPS yet. I was really hoping to get it by Christmas Eve... Has anyone that had their iMac shipped UPS come earlier than the estimate from Apple?

Dec 6? Does Time Machine do that?? lol. And yes, I am getting mine tomorrow, one day earlier than UPS said originally, and 6 days earlier than Apple originally said it would deliver.
