Just got notified that my BTO 21.5" just shipped out. My original order was placed on 11/30 at 3 AM, then I called Apple on Dec 1 because I changed my mind on what mouse I wanted. They canceled the first order and assured me that it would not impact delivery time which was Dec 19-24th. They said, we changed your oder to expedited at no cost to make sure you get the system before Christmas!

As far as this new customer is concerned....Apple and their customer service are top notch!
 
Mine was in preparing for shipment for about 24 hours. It has now shipped from China with Delivery date on Thursday 12/6 by 10:30 AM. I ordered at 4:30 AM on the day of the launch and called to get next day shipping.

Yikes... you have to wait 10 months to get your iMac? Tough break...
 
My 21.5 has been at preparing for shipment for over 36 hours now... hoping it will ship soon. I ordered at 8AM CST on Nov 30

Why would you cancel an order if it was still processing? Did you need that imc by a particular date or are you just messing? Mine Is still processing but I haven't cancelled! Patience!
 
iMac 21.5
3.1 ghz
16gb of ram
1tb fusion
Trackpad

Order it 6 am central on the 30th
First said 18-21 now Monday the 10th
I am in the US
 
Ordered Dec 1st, status just changed to shipped. Delivery Friday 7th.
:D:D:D
Funny thing is money hasn't been charged to my account yet:confused:
 
I got this error message too when I tried this a few times yesterday. Maybe try in a few hours (or tomorrow) if it still says "preparing for shipment".

Yeah, it's working :)

Apple say it'll come on the 6th or earlier, UPS say the 5th (Tomorrow).

What's funny is, if he needed it earlier...cancelling it isn't going to give it to him earlier.

Either he's trolling or he's just opened a slot for someone who actually wants an iMac.
 
Mine is still on 17-20th December :(
Honestly it's alright but the earlier the better.
Maybe it has something to do with education discount?

I got mine on the education discount and it appears to be shipping.

What did you spec it at?
 
I only ordered my 21.5 base yesterday.
And it is already showing as 'preparing for shipment'

I'm in the UK BTW. :D

Fusion Drive and 16GB Ram. Ok at least I know it's not the education discount ;)
The country couldn't be the reason either. Read on another site that some other germanys already see their orders shipping. This is just weird. Thought I was very early...

I think it's no surprise as the base model should be available

I got a maxed out one, with a wired keyboard and wired mouse, so I think I went for a bit of an odd one. I expected because of the keyboard/mouse it'd be shipped a bit later.

Perhaps they need to check more thoroughly with students, and I just happened to be checked earlier?
 
ordered the 1st of December.
