Is there anyone in the 12/24-12/31 window that has prepared for shipment yet?

Mine is still "Processing Items."

Did NOT expedite the shipping, nor am I willing to try. Card has a "pending" charge for the full amount.

Mine already shipped and I had that date range originally. I also didn't call and complain about it.
 
Mine shipped y/d (12/11) and expected on 12/20.... UPS
Should have done fedex

mine still processing.. i swear im gonna call and effin complain its just not right for us who ordered the same machine earlier to get them last.
yes this is me:

UPS is a horrid company. I've never seen UPS do EARLY. I have seen UPS 'park' a package in their system plenty of times. Early just isn't in the UPS dictionary.

I have to second this. I'd choose any other delivery option over UPS.

Same delivery window. Mine went to Prep for Shipping about 13 hours ago.
 
I didn't really think it would come in today so I'm at work all day and won't get to check it out until this evening.

Sweet. Do post about it when you get a chance so that us "flashers" can get a sense of what it's like :)
 
Man I hope to get mine a day early also, it shipped from china last night and says its going to be delivered Friday but I'll be out of town from tomorrow night till Sunday. Would be nice to kick off the 26 hour restore before I leave :)
 
>>So, how long did it take your (everyone who has received or had theirs shipped) to go from Preparing For Shipment to Shipped?<<

Mine changed to "Preparing" last night at around 11pm, just changed to "Shipped" about an hour ago... so about 13 hours between the two for me.
 
Wow, it's good to see people are getting theirs so early -- seems like Apple beat their estimated delivery window by more than a week.

Sadly, like many others, my order is still sitting on "Processing", despite having ordered soon after midnight on 11/30. The most I've seen is a pending credit card charge since yesterday morning, but nothing else. So while Apple's doing a good job getting these out early, it is still disappointing for those of us who still have to wait. That said, I'm pretty sure I'll still be getting my iMac well ahead of the Dec 20-27 window I currently have quoted. But would've loved to spend some time with it this weekend. Oh well.

I was in that 12/24-12/31 group until I broke yesterday & called to get expedited shipping. Now it's 12/20-12/27. Mine still shows "processing items", though yesterday my credit card listed it as a pending charge around 1pm PST.

I ordered an i7, 680mx, 1tb fusion from California at 7am 11/30 PST. My last name starts with F and my favorite color is green :)
 
Still amazed to see people who ordered many many hours after me and many others get their product before us.

That will be the last time I will stay up or try to be first as that has absolutely zero baring on when you get it.

Extremely disappointed.

Isn't it written somewhere that "the first shall be last and the last will be first."
 
OK, shipped at last. About 12 hours after going to "Preparing"

3.4/8 GB/3 TB Fusion/680MX
Ordered at 2.55 EST on 11/30.

Meanwhile, my 27" i7, 8gb ram, 3tb fusion and 680MX ordered at 12:10am PST on 11/30 is still in "process!"

Trying to be patient but getting pissed now.

Still with you... My credit card does now read 'pending,' so I hope to have progress by tonight.

Now my concern is the delivery window! Promised my mother I'd bring the kids over Friday to bake Christmas cookies, and Monday they have a doctor's appt at 9:45. I figure at best, no one will be home from 9:30 to 11 (just knowing how speedy the doctor's office is). Right in the typical FedEx window... My luck, it will get stolen before I ever see it.

Yep, but last I heard, Steve was an atheist. Wonder if he's changed his mind now.... ;)
 
This is information for those with UPS (scheduled delivery Monday 12/17/2012) that is currently last checked in at Anchorage AK 12/11/2012 at 910PM Departure scan.

Thank you! I'm in this group. I figured that the plane must have landed in SDF by now but clearly is just sitting around waiting to be processed. I'm hoping that happens for me in time to get onto a plane to PDX tonight!
 
I did some research and this is the one I decided on: Samsung SE-506AB/TSBD.

It was $80 at Amazon, though it looks like they have raised the price to closer to $100.

Good luck.

Hey, thanks so much for taking the time giving me the info on a external Bluray, you guys are great on here!:)

Maybe 3TB fusion with 680 isn't as popular?

Feel bad for u.
