Mine is also on transit. if you want even more details you'll find it here http://www.flightradar24.com/?TAY006 once flight is closer to europe. It's is not yet visible but at least today morning TNT airways flight 6 was found. Oh and I forgot to add that if straight link doesn't work then just go to planes tab and check if there are any with code that starts with TAY
*sigh*
Another push-back: This time my shipped-7th-of-June iMac has had its estimated delivery time altered from 22nd to the 29th of June
How on earth can they miss by a whole week on an item already shipped?
Beyond me- and finding out that Apple Support has closed after 18:00 isn't helping my mood, either.
ADDENDUM: Strange, my order status page estimates 29th while the order tracker linked to from that page says 22nd. Is there an MacRumors emoticon for confused disbelief?

It sounds someone may get it by end of this week or early next week
The estimated delivery date is the 14th of June
Order placed today for an all-but-the-RAM maxed 27 in. iMac: June 8.
Estimated delivery date: July 27.
Estimated delivery date: July 27.
Its a cool link, thanks for that, but I don't think you pointed to the correct flight. Given the tracking status I'm expecting that it is still in China. The next possible flight seems to be 3V 2 arriving tomorrow at 13:40h in Belgium.
I think the change to "shipment in transit" means it's been loaded onto a plane (or a least the freight box for the plane). Next scan will be at arrival.
Blimey ... Didn't realise it was so easy to stalk your deliveries! Excellent
We just need a flight to actually leave China and then let the stalking commence
Is Belgium the TNT hub for Europe? So it will then get shipped on to UK (in my case) from there?
I think I might apply for a job in logistics after this

Just do that. And remember: We customers do not need a 9 to 5 delivery, we accept our delivery even at 3am.

Yep, Liege Belgium is their main hub in Europe. Just checked that flights to Finland leaves from Brussels which is hour drive away from Liege (according to Google Maps). Luckily flight to Finland leaves only after 10pm local time, so with a little bit of luck it could be here in Finland already on Friday
Sounds promising!
I've had yet another status update ... "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule"
I wonder if they just randomly generate these
Just called apple Canada. They will not promise me lion and they will not express deliver my iMac. Not happy.
That's not very helpful

I did the same thing, they wanted $47.00 to upgrade my shipping, the funny thing is I work for Fedex so we're delivering the pkgs and usually use express. What I can tell you is not to waste your time upgrading, I'm pretty sure it will still get delivered through express unless Apple started using ground.
I am very disappointed in with the Apple Canada customers service, they didn't seem to care too much about the fact it's taking nearly 7wks to get my order.
I find that so odd ... You're spending £££ on a top end Mac yet they want to charge you to 'upgrade' your shipping
In fairness ... Up until this order, all my other orders have shipped very quickly indeed ... Hopefully there's a good airflow between China & Belgium

Just an update to my fight for the free Lion.
I made a second call to Apple. I am getting the Lion upgrade for free. It seems that most reps on the phone from Apple don't know the exact terms for Lion upgrade. When you call up Apple, be sure to quote the second last paragraph from the OSX Lion press release:
Be sure to mention this, or otherwise, they will just brush you off saying the upgrade terms and conditions have not yet been released.
But either way, according to the supervisor, everybody should be getting the upgrade based on the invoice date rather than the order date anyway. But if getting Lion for free is important to you, give them a call just in case.
Just adding a +1 to the Lion thing - I've also had an email from an Apple rep saying I'll still get the Lion upgrade even though the order was placed before the 6th. I had also pasted in the para from the press release, which I think helped - I'm not sure the rep even understood what the "Up To Date" scheme was, as originally I was just told "It won't have Lion on it"...!
Looks like a firmware update for GPU related issues has been released. Unsurprising overall, considering even the last MBPs had some issues (I would know) that were quickly corrected.
Oh, the agony. I just saw "prepared for shipment" on my order page . . . and then remembered that I had just ordered a first gen iPad for a family member earlier today, and that the note was for the iPad, not the iMac. I was really excited for about 3 seconds. Dangit.
Just an update to my fight for the free Lion.
That's great news
I know £20 is not a huge amount compared with the cost of the iMac, but
have made the rules on this and am sure they can afford a few copies of Lion for those who's orders are still to be satisfied No tracking news yet as, it would seem, Chinese flight info is somewhat restricted!
