Anyone from Germany seeing preparing shipment status? Mine is still in processing items :(
Ordered the Minute they were live in Germany...
 
I'm italian too! wich model did you order?
I ordered a high end with fusion on 30th november and it still processing..

Ordered a 27" IMAC, 2.4Ghz CPU, 680MX GPU, 1TB Fusion Drive..
status Processing.. delivery 20-26 Dec
 
Ordered around 6am EST on Nov 30 and 21.5 with i7, 1 TB fusion, and 16gb ram changed from 'preparing to ship' to 'shipped' this morning. Coming from China with expected delivery Thursday via FedEx! (I chose expedited shipping). I am in New York. Original delivery estimate was Dec 17th - Dec 20. Very excited that things are moving along much faster than quoted.
 
Update:

I ordered the 650m 21.5" with Fusion and Magic Trackpad at about 10:30am EST on 11/30. I just received an email early this morning indicating that it has shipped! Estimated delivery date according to FedEx is 12/6 at 10:30am EST. It is shipping from China and I paid for the 2-3 day delivery.
 
Delivery Confirmed for US

Ordered the 21.5" fusion with 16MB RAM at about 7am CST on 11/30. Shipped today out of China. Delivery expected on Dec 12th. I did not pay for the faster shipping though.

Yeah!
 
Still shows Preparing for Shipment on the web; However, I was able to pull the tracking # from UPS and it was shipped 12/4 China time and set arrival date 12/10. The Arrival date seems very long for Apple even with "Standard" shipping. I usually have any ordered product in 2 days max!
 
My 21.5" is still "processing". This is ridiculous. Bout to cancel I think.

If you're willing to cancel it, why did you bother ordering it in the first place?

How do you get the tracking number from UPS?

I tried putting my order number into some textbox on the UPS website but it didn't do anything.

No,no, don't cancel it due to its status! Call Apple and inquire about it first. Not need to cancel, it may just be displaying that on the web. Mine has shipped, but no emails from Apple as it still shows "Preparing for Shipment".

Go to USP.com.....1) Track by Reference 2) Shipping Reference will be your billing telephone number or your web order # with the letter and only the first 7 #'s 3) SELECT YOUR COUNTRY and 4) Enter your Zip code. Not sure if 3 and 4 are required, I tried both ways and sometimes it worked without 3 and 4 entered and sometimes not. So I just enter everything :)

Didn't realize it was going to take 4 days for Chinese slaves to put it together. It's absurd.

OMG.....your comment??? Seriously?? WOW :eek:
 
Actually, maybe mine is being made by American workers and that is why it's taking such a ridiculously long time. Gotta love unions.

Doesn't want to work for me :(

On the other hand, I just refreshed the 'orders' page and it now says it's been shipped :)

24 hours till I can track it...or at least, 24 hours until Apple will tell me how to track it.

Edit: Oh wait, it says "You will see track shipment button in 24 hours on Orders page.", and there is a "Track Shipment" button but it just says the service is unavailable.

Meh...maybe the service is down...
 
Check UPS! Mine shipped... But still says Preparing shipment

My 21.5" BTO (i7, Fusion, 16GB) has said "Preparing for Shipment" for over 24 hours. I went to UPS.com, clicked "Track by Reference" and then entered my phone number. Boom! Says my iMac shipped from China this morning and will be delivered by Monday (Dec 10). Give it a try! :D

What country are you in?

Perhaps it's not available for UK residents/works differently for UK residents.

Maryland (USA). See attachment for where to enter your phone number. Not sure if this works in other countries.

Gefeliciteerd I used standard shipping so due to deliver on Thursday. Same departure date.


How is your new machine

I think its awesome... you know I wasn't too exited about it being thin and all but seeing it in person, I have to say it looks very good. It's very silent, but I can't hear how silent since my old iMac is next to it making noise :D I haven't really tried anything yet as I am supposed to work also :D

But a picture says more then a 1000 words :)

On that exact screen, I get this error message :(

(I did put my number there, I just removed it for privacy)
