Is the credit card charged on Saturdays and Sundays or only from Monday to Friday?
I was always under the impression that when the order either get's to "Preparing to Ship" or "Shipping" the credit card is charged (not certain which one). My Apple Card has a "pending" charge equal to the NJ Sales Tax since the preorder on Monday night.
 
The amount on my credit card has been debited, I should receive it on November 14-16, do you think I could have nice surprises and receive it earlier having taken the money today?

Well my Apple Card still has the same pending charge from Monday but my status went from Processing to Preparing to Ship (still with the Tuesday 11/7 delivery).
 
I am pleased to see that like me, many of you are switching to the new iMac M3 from the 2012-2013 iMac!
Man, I'm almost jealous of you all. When I made the jump from my 2014 iMac 5K to the M1 iMac I was just sitting there messing around with it for hours, just to experience how bloody fast it felt. I DO miss the screen size a bit, but other than that it's a massive step up in every way.
 
Yes, I also hope to overcome the transition from 27" to 24" as best as possible. It would have also been nice to be able to choose the M3 Pro processor, but coming from a 2012 iMac, the leap in power is huge, especially thanks to the media engines.

My iMac is shipped now, I will receive it on November 8th morning! Very happy, I see no problem. Convinced that if I had ordered it a few hours earlier, I would have received it already on November 7th. It was scheduled for November 14-16, big Apple, don't mess with me, don't let me down!
 
Ordered an iMac (silver) with 24GB RAM and 1 TB SSD on November 1st.
It was scheduled for November 14-16.

But now it turned to „preparing to ship“.

Maybe I'll get my iMac next week? :eek:

Register with UPS, if that is the courier you will receive it with, and you will see more information, such as the possible delivery date. Don't look at the Apple website anymore, everything is now in the hands of the courier, UPS for me.
 
News! The status has now changed to shipped. Comes with UPS Worldwide Express Saver®.
Arriving on Wednesday November 8th.

Now the shipping status has changed again. Previously it said: arrives on November 8th.
Now the imprecise status is: “coming soon”.

Is that normal?

This is the information I get from the UPS website:

Estimated delivery:
The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.


A few hours ago the UPS website said that the iMac would arrive on November 8th.
Since the status "Your package is in transit" - no estimated delivery date is given.

And the Apple Store website says: "Coming soon" - also no delivery date.

Is everything ok???

Fascinating that mine still says Preparing for Shipment but also says Delivery for Tomorrow (Tuesday) and I would assume it is still somewhere in China. This should be interesting. Hopefully there will be an update by the time I get up as I took off on Tuesday to wait for the delivery.
