UK & EU 27 inch Delivery Thread

[Snoezzz]

Anyone believing that Apple follows the first in, first out principle should pay attention to this.

My friend and I live in the same town in Sweden ten minutes from each other and we ordered the exact same specification: 27" 3.2GHz i5 3TB Fusion 680MX 8GB with AppleCare and education discount. My order was in two minutes after AppleStore went up on Friday 30th. Due to a trip his order was not in until early morning Sunday 2nd. His is now preparing for shipment, mine is processing. Nice one, Apple.

Did you both pay with creditcard.. or wired transfer?

It's here!!

Can pick it up 12.00 Thai time today Saturday (5.00am UK time) (15th), that's 9 days early!!!! (ordered about 10.00 am Nov 30th UK time)
Cost for 3.4GHz 8GB 3TB Fusion 680 MX £1810 with education discount!!!
Have bought 32 GB extra RAM for about £120. Yippee!!!!!
The bad news is Apple have charged my credit card!!!!

 

[funlad]

Just checked my credit card online… under Pending Transactions there has been a £1 charge from 'APPLE DISTRIBUTION INTERNATIONAL EMEA.'

I'm hoping they just tested my card ahead of changing status to 'Preparing for Shipment,' building my iMac, and then charging my card fully. Here's hoping! Has anyone else noticed such a charge on their card? And if so how long was it from that until the status changed from 'Processing?'

I wonder if it has anything to do with apple communicating with our banks/credit card companies, if you both paid the same way with the same banks and the same amount of money in each account that would be very strange.

Just a theory though, otherwise I can't understand it, it should be first come first served.

We both used a standard Nordea debit card, so exactly the same one.

My delivery date is on the 19. It shipped yesterday. You will probable get it next week as well.

somehow I think they calculate if they will manage to deliver the package before xmas, if not there's hardly nothing happening during xmas and new year - so either you get a before or after date. I hope you are right though, almost 3 weeks for delivery isn't exactly fast.

Just been charged for the order this morning and the delivery is now at Castle Donnington UK (not too far from Brighton) as apposed to Germany. Looks like its a Monday delivery.

Good luck all.

Mine is just UPS.

It is still sitting in Shanghai after an export scan about 16 hours ago. I guess it won't now move until tomorrow (Sunday) evening, but should still be on track for delivery on the 19th.

I ordered my iMac through a third party (managed toget a better deal, and it will be getting delivered to there, and then sent to me) so I have no ability for me to track directly. I can't tell whether that is a good or bad thing looking at this thread. It stops me getting annoyed, and paranoid as I would constantly be checking. But yet I feel like I am missing out.

I will just not expect it until 3-9th Jan which was the original date I was told.

 

[Ronin72]

No one from Italy?

I have ordered my iMac around 14:00 GMT on last 30 nov. Estimated shipping 3/4 weeks.
No news , still elaboration order.
I have used edu store and added at my BTO an Apple care program ad parallels
