My flight has landed and my iMac is now on its way to its destination sort facility. Based on the last Apple item that was shipped directly from China (my iPad 2), when the item is at this step in the shipment process, it should be delivered the following day. In other words, I should be getting my iMac tomorrow. I don't expect any more tracking updates tonight but things should get going again tomorrow morning.

Nothing sweeter than "out for delivery"
 
Mine shipped via FedEx sometime on Saturday morning, and it appears to still be in Shanghai. I have "Left FedEx origin facility" at 3:31pm on the 11th, "At local FedEx facility" at 8:52am the 12th, and "In transit" at both 12:28am and 5:53am the 13th (all "local scan time" according to FedEx), all giving Shanghai as the location.

Yep, ours are definitely hanging out together. Mine left the FedEx origin facility in Shnghai at 3:31 pm on June 11, was at the local Shanghai FedEx facility on June 12 at 10:47 am, and since then I've had two "in transit" updates in Shanghai on June 13 - at 12:28 a.m. and 5:53 a.m.

Maybe just seeing the sights before heading to the US? They probably won't get another chance to visit Shanghai.

Aaah! My iMac has made a stop and go in Buffalo for some reason and now the delivery date is changed to Wednesday.

Shnoogies. I was hoping it would have crossed into Canada by now - I think it may be trucking instead of flying. Pttth.

Can't wait for the first screen shot! The race is on!
 
iMacs are ending up at interesting intermediary stops for "One More Thing..."

iMacs being routed through Kentucky? They'll come with bourbon.

My stuff usually gets routed through South Boston. That means the delivery man will glass me.

Mine went thru Kentucky AND Buffalo! Does that mean I get bourbon chicken? Yummy!

We should all get some King Crab too...
 
Damn mine is still at TNT Arnhem Hub. It has been there since Friday morning. Seems that the definitely use the whole 7 day delivery. Estimated delivery has been from the beginning 14th. One more day... And still Finland is the destination and no holiday today here either.
 
Being delivered by Syncreon Technology (Who are they, why no tracking number?) anybody had a delivery with these guys before?

Hey WWDC08 ... Syncreon don't provide any tracking at all For :apple: orders :(

However, mine was saying Syncreon but, once in the UK it changed to UPS :) and I've been tracking it ever since.

Currently it is 10mins away waiting to become "out for delivery" ... woohoo :D
 
Just took the plunge and placed the order. 27" 3.1 256+1TB 4GB According to confirmation email ship date is June 27, deliver date is July 1. Just wanted to let everyone know what the dates are looking like for an order placed today (in the last 5 minutes specifically). Now here's to not looking at the CC statement and hoping for early delivery! Until then I plan to live vicariously through all those taking delivery this week! Have fun and keep us posted!

Where did it say Syncreon? My tracker just says Shipment dispatched, and "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly."
Does it only change into a real courier once it hits the UK?
 
If it delivers tomorrow how many days will that be? I'm in PHX too, trying to judge how long to expect for mine.

Order Date: May 6, 2011 at 12:02 PM PDT
A little over 5 weeks

I have another FedEx delivery scheduled for tomorrow that arrived in Phoenix Friday afternoon, if they are smart they will save a trip and just bring my iMac Monday vice the delivery estimate of Tuesday by 12:00 (hope, hope, hope...)

Just received e-mail with tracking #!!

So far, just says "Shipment Info. Sent to FedEx," but it says ship date: June 13 and Estimated delivery: June 15 by 10:30 am!!

So I guess that free priority shipping they threw in is good for something! :)

So excited that my machine is arriving before I leave for vacation. By the way, my order date was May 12, and original ship date was June 24, arrival June 29.

Fully loaded 27" model. Wheeeeee!!

Sorry, my bad. I mean't from ship date to potential deliver date. 5 days? Did you have regular shipping or did you get upgraded?
 
Out for Delivery

I'm amazed and totally excited!

Am in my office now just waiting for reception to tell me a package has arrived and then I think I'll faint!

Hopefully hearing more stories of deliveries today :D

You should have it next to your order number on the 'blue bar' when you check your order at Apple.com

If you haven't, I really would not worry about as, hopefully you will get someone who does tracking

:D

Oh yeah, this just arrived to Helsinki Hub where I can pick it up when I leave from work. Long six hours ahead :)

Wow, I ordered mine on May 13th and it's showing the same ship/delivery dates as you. I hope my order status changes soon. I'm getting jealous with all these iMacs out for delivery today.

While it seems frustrating, I'll bet good money that you take delivery first. Although we are both in AZ, maybe they were just waiting for me to order to save on shipping :D

I was only waiting for the shipping dates to shorten and WWDC to see what was announced.
 
I will probably receive my 27+ssd today. Expected delivery date was tomorrow (14).

Currently going by road to my city, is only at 2h now.
I always receive apple products delivered by TNT @ afternoon.
