27" Delivery time thread.

While the pallet destined for geographical destinations makes sense, it also might be that destinations with high population density have so many orders that it takes longer for an individual from that location to get to the front of that order line. Meanwhile, customers in less populated destinations with fewer orders, pass through the staging line quicker, get palletized, and shipped sooner.

Again, that wouldn't matter if what the Apple reps are saying is true. According to Apple reps, they are all palletized in bulk from China and shipped to Alaska (and then often times onto another US destination, such as the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, or the UPS Worldport in Louisville), where they are then resorted for specific regional delivery across the US. They wouldn't be palletized according to specific geographic destination in China if they're individually resorted upon arrival in the US, such as the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, or the UPS Worldport in Louisville.
 
Ordered mine within 5 minutes after the Apple site went live on November 30th.

While my status shows STILL PROCESSING, I did notice my credit card just got a pending charge for the entire order.

So, I am hoping that's an indication that my iMac will be shipping tomorrow.

Will continue to check back to see how all of you are doing as well.

yeah, I couldn't stay away... btw, still "processing" over here... I'm not mad, but very anxious and a little jealous that people that ordered the same exact machine much later than I did will have their iMac in 2 days and mine hasn't even been processed yet :)

It's just after 9AM in Shanghai now, so....

I am ashamed by the temper tantrum I'm having in my mind right now. Even though I know it's silly, I can't help but be disappointed that mine is still in the processing stage despite the time when I placed my order. This is my birthday present from last February, and I'm just so excited to get it. I'm afraid it's going to arrive right before I go out of town for a few days, and I won't get to have any fun with it before I leave.

I am right there with all of you! I, likewise, have been waiting nearly the entire year. My wife and I decided to upgrade as we drove back from my in-laws after New-Years, and figured we would wait until the summer when the iMac was expected to refresh. Waited up for about 4 hours past my wife going to bed to order. Had my confirmation email in hand at 12:02 AM Pacific. Had a second email telling me to activate my One-to-One membership when I got up 5 hours later. That got billed immediately, but I didn't start checking my primary credit card until today. Figured my secondary card (bank card) would show when they billed it. No activity on either card. Bought a mostly maxed i7, 1TB-F, 680MX. I've seen several posts displaying identical specs, many of whom ordered the following day, shipped!

I hate feeling and sounding like my 4-year-old, but come on Apple! This is terrible customer service. You had to have some supplies already stockpiled, and those should have gone out on a first come first served bases given the limitations of so many different skews of BTO. If I wanted to go and B-slap Phil after calling all of us ODD users 'dinosaurs,' I can't tell you what I feel like doing now!
 
To add, my order JUST switched to preparing for shipment! Looks like the next batch is kicking in.

Ordered 6:00 CST 11/30

2.9 i5, 1TB Fusion, 8GB RAM, did request upgraded shipping and given free trackpad (thanks apple!) so hopefully more orders start changing over.

Oh and I'm in Chicago :) US shipment

This describes what happened to me just now also... The original authorized amount had dropped off my credit card when I checked it just this afternoon, but within the last couple of hours the authorization has reappeared.

Nice what was your original delivery date? It seems like all US orders have been outside of California *shrugs*
 
Yep

Me two...
 
Anyone have listed "next day"

Nov 30. 3:20 E Order bought the expedited shipping. After calls to apple about shipping they credited my account and offered to "bump" to next day shipping. It is listed a Next Day in shipping method.
Order has not made it from "processing". CC charge pending since Monday.
Why list as next day when there is no next day from China?
 
I still find it odd how Apple is prioritizing these orders. I double checked my confirmation email and it came in at 3:01am ET on Nov. 30th (I started to order at 2:55am ET, which must have been right when the store opened).

My 27", 3.4 i7, 8GB, 768GB SSD, 680MX with trackpad is still processing and I don't have a hold or pending charge on my card anymore (it rolled off 2 days ago).

I agree is it depending on where you live? How much you spent and fully specd out it is? Is it if your card process goes through quicker? Is it by where you placed the order (main site, mobile app etc)?

It's definitely not by time of order very strange

The lady at apple i spoke to today, said if it was shipping within the US she would have bumped it to next day, but since its coming from China it's not possible, not sure why they would list it that way on yours
