For $30 its not worth worrying about
Totally agree - and if I have to buy it anyway to upgrade my wife's MacBook, then fair enough.
But if you don't ask, you don't get...
If it helps, I am one of the European customers who was messed about a few weeks ago and my order still hasn't even started to be prepared for shipment, despite ordering on the first day.
It may still be that they are shipping in time order. I ordered at 1pm GMT, which is probably later than a lot of Europeans, but earlier than most in the US.
I guess that the first day has a much larger amount of orders than any other day and so it takes a few days of shipments to get through all the orders on that day.
Having said that I will be a bit cheesed off if mine hasn't shipped after a few days of hearing about other first day orders being shipped!
let's really get crazy - what time are your order statuses changing?? that way people can check constantly at those times.
or are they changing every hour.
might as well have something to do while we wait for the fedex man.
Trying to get a sneak peak at my new iMac but google maps just isn't that good.

Ahh Men!! its still on Shanhai Airport.. I think I am going to call TNT and ask if everyting is allright
Mine is still there too
My 15th June exp delivery is now 16th (changed after being shipped).
More bloody volcanoes?
Mine has just swapped to 'not known' and then down a day to June 16 ... I tell you what, the logistics of this shipment is a bit all over the place!
It is the longest I've ever had to wait for a new Apple product
Just wish it was even trackable ... or that they could commit to a day! Not too much to ask as they must know where it is given that it's shipped now?
To let you know that, I really pissed off about the service of my local authorised reseller. I placed the order 7 May but till now I can't get estimated shipment or delivery date.
I've called for Mac OS Lion free upgrade but was told it won't happen as my order was placed in May. And they already received PO from apple, which meant my card had already been charged.
I've called to cancel my order as well but not able to do because of the reason above. I am going to wait for one more week. If still can't get any estimated shipment date or the order delay. I am going to file a case with local consumer association.
I truely feel shame for Apple about the delay as it took too long for the shipment and I can see they really mess up the logistics in this thread.

I think because we've waited so long Apple are trying to get it to us as fast as possible (as stated in their email) and using whichever courier they can. Hence the seemingly inconsistent, dates, no tracking etc. Syncreon don't even list Apple as one of their 'clients' so its obviously a new partnership.
It will arrive when it arrives. I'm busy the 15th so Im actually hoping mine arrives the 16th lol.

If its a BTO product then its much harder to get a refund as its configured to your liking and Apple/Reseller will have a much harder time selling it on. May I ask why you didnt just get it via Apple? It would be quicker as Apple have to ship them to the reseller and the reseller onto you.
EDIT: Ouch!!! I've just been billed!

The finance plan is quicker with the retail store and with free RAM upgrade.
I feel pissed off as I couldn't get any estimated date and not any phone call or email for the status. And the worst, I was charged. I have a long vacation plan in July and hence my iMac will stay in the retail shop for a month if it doesn't reach by then.
I agree that i do have good experience/relationship with that shop but the staff who handle this really piss me off...

I also bought via a reseller here in Germany because they are more than 300 Euros under the Apple Store price, I get 5 years warranty and financed over 10 months for 0 %.
Downside, I have to rely on what they tell me about the status at Apple. And that's not very good. They told me weeks ago that it should have been shipped to them
Where are you located? Anyone who is posting that their iMac is shipping or had its shipping date moved up - please mention relevant details like where you are located. Still unsure if it's just our EU buddies who are getting the bump on delivery or if it's a worldwide push.

I wasnt knocking it. Just wondered. Sounds a good deal. I didnt think resellers could offer anything less than Apple as Apple were a bit tight with resellers. Guess not.

I think yours and mine are sitting nicely together in a plane/truck somewhere. I get the emails and sms' the same time as you.

I reckon you're right, MacBoobsPro ... nice image ...
I know that it's just left China as my Apple CR has just called me so I reckon Abrmecom is spot on and they're all on the same plane heading for Ireland (or so Apple CR tells me)
Apple CR says that they will know more and more likely to have carrier info by around the 10th ... or at least a clearer idea
All good
