so there goes that theory about US made iMacs coming first :)

I'd love to get mine on the 18th

I would think the Chinese made version would ship before the US version.
It takes longer to ship from China thus they would need to ship sooner to ensure delivery in the time frame listed on your order.
 
shipped

original delivery estimate – Dec 24–31

just shipped from China, expected delivery Dec 18 via UPS
 
Shipped!

My 27" iMac just shipped from shanghai China. Tracking shows it just leaving Shanghai with an anticipated date of 18 December. Which is still a week earlier than expected. Awesome news! A nice new Christmas present for myself.

I do not know how to get the labels copied in here like I see several of you doing but those of you who ordered on the 30th with the first few hours should also see your shipping. Congrats!
 
Holy!!!! Mine shipped and will be here this Thursday!!!!!

dang! where do you live?
 
starting to think maybe they're all built, but the shipping labels just haven't been scanned/made yet... not everyone is seeing it go to "preparing for shipment" but instead just shipping out
 
I have BTO ordered 6:30 AM on the 30th. Paid for expedited shipping. Says it will be delivered 13th
 
All of mine shipped eta 12/13. (via 2 day shipping)

you guys are lucky! Finally some activity shows up on my cc. only authorization. hopefully thats a good sign. Looks like the upgraded shipping really does make a difference. Yours says 2-3 days? Mine says overnight? I wonder why all of our 'expedited shipping' is different

I'm happy to report that my customized 27" iMac has shipped as of 12/10 (out of Shanghai). Estimated delivery is 12/18. I ordered early on 11/30, so the original 2-3 week estimate was quite accurate!

Looks like the expedited shipping is making a big difference after all. 3 days to deliver? DAmn!

Delivering the 18th which I feel will be earlier because both my iPhone5 and MacbookPro came from china and I had them in 4 days with standard ship.

BTO
3.4 I7
8GB RAM
1TB Fushion
GTX 675MX 1G
Trackpad

BTW, what is the battery charger that I am seeing as an option? Never heard of that with an iMac.
 
Well I give up. No rhyme or reason at all. Congrats the lucky winners, I hope the rest of us are as lucky in the coming hours.
 
Does anyone in the Dec 31 - Jan 7 category show their status as preparing for shipment? Mine still shows processing items.
