I'm in Indy (Fishers) as well. Ordered 6/9 and expected delivery still says 7/27. I assume we will get an update or a notice that they are preparing to ship soon. I bet ours will be on the same flight.

Awesome! I'm here in Noblesville. You are welcome to check out my iMac if it comes first. Today I'm backing up all my current iMac files via Firewire 800 to prepare for the big day. :D
 
academic orders

Hi All,

This thread has provided a ton of support for me, waiting for my first desktop mac since my 1991 LC. (been living off the MBP).

I placed an academic order 5/4 for a fully loaded (minus 8gb memory) 27" with SSD. Though I have called the bookstore a couple of times to look up order status, I am reluctant to bug them much more. My last contact was last Friday and all they were able to tell me (I saw them look it up) was that the order had been sent to manufacturers and that shipping was scheduled to begin by June 15. There had been no changes to the order status since the first day (5/4). I am located in Colorado, USA.

Has anybody on the list purchased an iMac from academia? Have you heard anything?

The reported stats look great. Thanks to everyone for all the posts and info. Although the SATA3 would have been awesome, I am still hugely stoked!!

Yes, mine was with academic discount- specs much like yours, ordered May 3rd, shipped last week but now stuck in transit in Eindhoven as it were.

Have a number or two to cycle through the TNT web tracker, to no avail;)
 
Does anybody know if TNT send you a txt or phone call to tell you the driver is on its way



ROFL………Good joke.

In otherwords no they dont. At least not in Germany.

Mine has finally moved too :)

Just a quick update. I ordered my 27" iMac on 5/15 and I can see the status has changed to prepared for shipment! I currently live in Australia. My original shipment date was June 29 with an original delivery date of July 5. These dates have not changed yet, but since my cc was charged and the order can not be canceled anymore, I think within 24 hours it will change to a shipped status and the delivery dates will change accordingly. Very exciting. Will keep you posted.
 
hey guys, one bittersweet thing:

I just talked to apple today, and i am eligible for the "Lion Up to date" clause.

See here:

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/06/06lion.html

the important part is:

"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."


After talking to apple, even though i placed my order may 3rd, it didn't CHARGE my creditcard till 6/10 so TECHNICALLY i didn't buy my mac till then.


Anyways, just passing it along for what it's worth (i guess 30 bucks)
 
wow - mine is arriving a day early as well.

i'm in california. the fedex flight went straight from shanghai to memphis - no alaska stop at all. that seems odd - i don't think there is a plane that can fly nonstop from china to memphis - i think fedex tracking might be lagging...

Its finally here

Just wanted to let everyone know that the truck showed up this morning and my iMac is sitting on my desk. Will take me a while to get used to everything, especially with the dual hard drives as I am a switcher. They have installed everything onto the SSD. I've moved my iTunes library onto the HDD but am not sure about how I go about putting everything else on there when the folders under my user name are located on the SSD. But I'm such a newb - its been 11 years since my last Mac - that I'm sure everything will become clear.

It so bewdiful....
 
Same for me.

Out for Delivery now. So ordered 23th May - shipped 10 June - delivered 15 June. Delay because of TNT - but it's was originally plannend for 10th July.
 
24 hours in I can say, that I am 99% satisfied. The only thing missing is the print money feature. Oh well....

But the SSD makes all the difference, it that fast. Glad I had the patience to wait... :)

Guys,

I haven't got any updates on the shipping details since the 11 of June.
Tracking number still showing: "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly."

I was wondering if any of you expiriencing the same?

Esitmated delivery date is unchanged: 23 Jun 2011
 
Got an update at last. It's in the Arnhem Hub and still due for delivery in the UK on Friday. Anyone know how to flight track it from Arnhem? I'm getting totally obsessed with tracking this baby!

Also for those to have had deliveries in the UK, was 2 days enough to get the package from Arnhem to your delivery address?

Just had a call from TNT, they say its in customs in Arnhem and wont be delivered until next week "at the earliest".

But Apple took the funds from my card yesterday so no doubt the warrantee runs from yesterday too.

:mad:
 
pisses me off too as the guy above my post shows his is out for delivery, and looking at the history and times must have been on the same flight as mine, unless tnt have a flight every 3 hours which I doubt.

Bunch of to..ers

Just checked on the apple serial number search and my warrantee runs from the 9th June, just to pi$$ me off more

Mine is in the UK being delivered by UPS, its on the back of a van somewhere hopefully arriving at my house this afternoon.

I guess it is luck of the draw as to which courier you get. I had zero tracking available until UPS in the UK got it and I was able to track on their systems then.
 
Delivered! My UltiMac is here :) :eek: :D!

Really fast considering I had an initial shipment date of July 14th.

I wasn't home but I had the painter sign for it .. wooot! ;)


PS Near Amsterdam destination.
 
Arrived today at 13:25
