I think it depends upon which FedEx flight it catches. FDX90 is a straight through flight to Memphis, FDX28 (?) is the one that has a layover in Anchorage where they do import clearances and divide up the cargo for west and east coast hub distribution.
Mine came over on 90 so it went through Memphis.

There's a flight on its way to Memphis now, but it's not landing for about seven hours. If my iMac didn't make the Anchorage flight, I'm hoping it's on this one.

Hope not! I want mine to come to the UK
LOL - I never look at where people are from.

Presuming my iMac actually left China, I'm guessing it's on this flight. I'm not sure it could have made the earlier flight into Anchorage, but I'll know sometime today, I guess.

Right. I noticed other people's tracking information as another step after "left origin facility" before they actually leave so they might still be there and leaving on one of tonight's flights. Really need that next tracking update email to know for sure
Confused
I ordered my 27" BTO iMac on the 30th of November approx 2 hours after orders opened - I had David Jones (apple reseller in Oz) vouchers to use so placed the order through them. Details were submitted and I was informed by the sales manager that I would have my order "at the latest" on the 20th December.
With iMacs ordered via the Apple store being delivered on the 17th December, I followed up with David Jones yesterday to find out when they expected to receive my order At this point I was informed that unfortunately my order was now not expected to arrive until "January". I WAS excited about this purchase, now I am just pissed off with Apple and David Jones.
I spoke with Apple customer support and they informed that if I have any grievances, I really need to take them up with David Jones as they are unable to provide any support for sales made through resellers.
Pretty sure it is Apple that has failed to get their order to David Jones, which has caused the delay and made a liar of the salesperson that served me.
In any case, in this situation, is it Apple or David Jones that are guilty of misleading and deceptive sales techniques by guaranteeing delivery before Christmas?

Im in the ordered on the 30/11 and still processing club. My order went through at about 11am on the 30th for delivery between 27/12 and 4/1. I feel like the processing stage will never change...
I had to change an aspect of my address, but the delivery estimate remained the same. Do you guys reckon that has pushed my delivery estimate towards the 4th of Jan rather than the 27th?
BTW, anyone on here purchased from Australia? Keen to get an idea of the delivery times and such.

What do they mean by this?
"Left FedEx origin facility"
I assume it means a FedEx building in Shanghai, if so, will we receive any notification when package is on a FedEx Flt?

Apart from the David Jones co(k up described in my previous post, I also purchased a BTO 27" iMac on the 30th November and it arrived on the 17th of December - Melbourne, Australia.
At this point, I'm tired of tracking my order. It's gotten old seeing the processing status for over 3 weeks now, and I'm no longer enjoying the process of anticipating my order changing to preparing for shipment. I just want it to change now. It's gotten old and annoying at this point.
Can't say that I blame you. This whole roll-out has been kind of a mess, and left a lot of people frustrated. I hope yours changes NOW!
Thanks for the good luck, bayleaves! Still processing, but hoping to see some movement very soon... I'm glad yours finally changed a few days ago.
Ordered on Dec. 3 and entered preparing to ship status. In the U.S. Check out the December orders thread for more information!
Just got an email form Apple:
Does it mean that my package is already on its way? Will it come earlier?

I am thinking that is safe to say that if it did not ship today....we won't be seeing it by Christmas.
I don't think I understand how the iMac production line works. Last week when they started shipping the iMacs, a couple people said their iMacs were built in week 49, and some said week 50. I just checked mine, and it said week 49. I would have thought mine would be week 50 or 51, since mine just shipped today. Maybe they finished mine, and it just sat there for a week or so.

How did you check that ?

I know same here. don't know what that means !!
Is it safe to say that if my status is still processing, that it won't be here prior to Christmas? Ordered Dec 1, 1am PST US. BTO 27".
Finally! I just switched to preparing for shipment about an hour ago. My shipping was upgraded to next business day early in the process. Is there any chance I will get it before X-mas? I need positive vibes...
