WOOOTT.. A just spotted the tale of the plane landing on the webcam! :D

Excellent - so, even though we have no idea whether it was on that flight ....

we now have to wait to see if we get any further information:D

anyone any ideas what happens next? :confused:

UPDATE: Had a quick look and for UK peeps, the next flight to East Midlands (the UK Hub for international deliveries) is tomorrow morning at 0330 - thats the only flight to the UK scheduled so must be (unless they came over last night)

Flight ICE741 0330 (CET) - Is Iceland Air but that would make sense as they work with TNT

http://www.flightstats.co.uk/Flight...?id=229494670&airlineCode=FI&flightNumber=741

Then ... I would guess ... they should apply a local carrier to our orders WOOHOO :D

... but a long weekend to wait through I suspect! :eek:

Don't ruin your keyboard by drooling all over it:p

Hey, I've been following this thread since the beginning, I got an iMac 27" with SSD (duh), i7 and 2GB graphics memory. I'm from Germany and I bought it from a premium reseller, too. It's because they gave me a 100€ voucher on any Apple products they sell. I really hope that I'll get my Mac by next week... tough I think we all do. ;)

Hey there!

When did you order?

That might give an indication possibly.

I've just had an update and delivery should now be BY WEDNESDAY ... getting better (but still quietly hoping for tomorrow - it's happened before!) :D
 
Mine still set for delivery July 18 (order May 3rd) although my salesguy told me it would ship yesterday :(

Btw: You all need professional help :D

Not true: We all need a better tracking system and an immediate delivery. :)
 
I was just updated to "prepared for shipment" too!

I'm in NYC, ordered May 3 at 6:10 PST, and it updated sometime over the night while I was asleep. Still says it's scheduled to ship by June 15 and deliver June 20, but at least there's progress!
 
Mine shipped as well! Supposed to be here Tuesday. Ordered May 3 about an hour after the site came back. (In the US)

Do you see any update on your tracking status. For mine package it still says "Pudong International Airport" :mad:
 
There is a pending charge to my card and a "Prepared for shipment" status. No change yet to the estimated ship date of 6/15 and arrival of 6/20.

I'm in Nashville.

08 Jun 2011 20:45:46 Pudong International Airport Shipment In Transit. :(

The Netherlands?

I'm just providing another datapoint, as we all know we won't be doing much else than growing and honing this thread:

I called Apple today, as I had discovered that my credit card was no longer charged- and I wanted to know what was the point in timestamping the Apple Care at June 7th, when I obviously couldn't make use of it before I had the iMac delivered.

They said they didn't know about the card, but my order was en route to the Netherlands, and that it could be delivered by the 16 th if no further hiccups occured.
:)

No - I don't have any tracking options sadly so it has just been guesswork based on the fact that my order has gone from

Prepared for Shipment
Shipped
In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule

Just thought as this had changed so much that it must be further down the line (hopeful smiley!)

Perfectly possible that it's still in Pudong ... but I like to think that it isnt ;)

Mind you - if both mike9 & Yorr still show Pudong then I am starting to fear that it's probably still sat there :(
 
My 16th delivery date has moved back to 15th lol. I've lost track of what it has been over the weeks. 16th, 20th, 28th, 15th, 16th 15th ...

Let's just say "Tuesday!"

Exactly the same for me ... hence why I think it must be moving in the system ... possibly?

oh, and 15th is Wednesday :eek:

I meant it as "Apple Tuesday" :D

I've just looked at the last email from Apple and it says once its handed over to the final courier we will get updated tracking info so its obviously still in 'flying mode' be it landed or not.

It sounds like I'm totally impatient for it to arrive with all my posts :p I'm not that fussed I'm just keeping you guys informed as I and DJHack seem to be the lucky few thats actually seeing any action at this point. :D

My guess is its landed but is now being unloaded and tomorrow we will get the tracking info as it will then be handed over to the courier. The 15th would be about right (for me) if it has landed in Belgium today.

Totally with you on all that and would be very nice to get carrier tracking tomorrow ... it's just nice to know it's making progress :)

I know what you mean ... i don't want to sound like a whingy impatient person either ....

honestly I just think "it'll be here when it's here"

... but it's sure good fun to get a bit excited & an second guess :apple: Logistics :D

Kills some time inbetween

If they come into East Midlands airport, I should get mine before you as I'm only an hour away from there. :p

EDIT: That being said I'm getting it delivered to work so wont be able to do anything but look at the box till i get it home.
 
As we all wait patiently for our 27" imac with SSD, spend some time reading this article and smile.

Awesome ... it's reading things like that, that makes me so excited to boot it up for the first time and run Aperture, Photoshop and AutoCAD ... ALL AT ONCE :eek:

I suspect I'm just not going to believe the speed :cool:

... And arrival pic at work of the box!
