Sadly I think Apple looks at it differently 🙁 As long as they keep their promise of a 2-3 weeks delivery for shipment they kept their word. Though I´m too about to crawl out of my skin from frustration.

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.

Exact same config here, order confirm came one minute later at 12:11am. Still processing. Upside is I don't feel alone! At least we can be bummin' together!

I'm going to start posting how excited I am about still being at Processing. At least it's not going backwards!!! Gotta celebrate the little wins.
 
For those of you still stuck in "Processing Items":

1) Confirmation email stamped 12:46am PST 11/30
i5, 8GB, 1TB FD, 680

2) Two separate pending CC charges show up around 9am PST 12/11
One for $30 shipping the other for iMac

3) As of 10:53am PST 12/12 still "Processing Items" with delivery estimate of 21-28th.

Must be on the production line having issues or something!
 
I'm pretty damn happy right now.

in response to my earlier posting I have contacted Apple for third time in regards to faster shipping (due to days off for Holidays really want my first iMac when I have time to learn it) and informed them I now had a picture of someone's order that had shipping via next day which I was previously told was impossible.

After a five minute wait I was told I now have the following:

Available to ship: 3 - 4 Weeks
Delivers Dec 28 - Jan 4 via Next Day Shipping, before noon
Configuration

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
MAGIC MOUSE+MAGIC TRACKPAD
Apple WL Kybd (English)+UG
COUNTRY KIT


This didn't change my delivery date which I didn't think it would at this time. Just means it'll get here faster when shipped. 😉
 
Dec 27 - Jan 3 delivery dates?

Has anyone with a Dec 27- Jan 3 delivery date seen a status change from processing to preparing to ship?

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5

Ordered the afternoon of 11/30

Likewise, if your's ships first, I'm camping on your doorstep to mug the FedEx guy! 😛
 
I'm so sick of everyone else getting freebies thrown in by Apple to appease the non-existant shipping lag! I mean, trackpads and keyboards were one thing, but they sent you a CAT??? No fair!


Just got off the phone with an Apple rep. She claimed that all orders are now getting the complimentary "free cat" upgrade.
 
Changed overnight... If the 12-14 hours to ship is accurate, hopefully it'll ship by tonight, which would be Thursday morning in China (from what people say, FedEx has a morning pickup and an evening one. I'm thinking the earliest I'll see it is Monday or Tuesday...

Just got notice my CC's been charged. Order date/time: 11/29, 11:56 p.m.
Still "Processing" however.

It's weird. I'm completely opposite. My CC hasn't been charged, but my unit is shipped, delivering on Monday. I got the invoice too.
Feels a little bit uncomfortable. 😕
 
in the UK, estimated delivery 21st-2nd of jan and i called up apple and they said my order number is going to be shipped on the last one tonight... **** yea. 🙂

Well done, good sir. You got me chuckling on that one.

I actually got a free wireless keyboard from Apple not bc I was complaining but because I was doubting my decision to get a wired keyboard. When I asked if I could change it, they said doing do would lose my place and line and sent me one for free before I even said a word. I actually told them that it wasn't necessary but the lady insisted - who am I to argue? 🙂

On a happier note, my status FINALLY went into "Preparing for Shipment" just a moment ago. I will sadly admit that I've been refreshing my order page every 10 minutes or so.

I ordered an i5-3.2, 680MX, 1gb Fusion around 12:40am shipping to California. Though it feels like none of these factors really mean much.

For what it's worth, in the past year, I've pre-ordered an iPad3, iPad Mini, and iPhone 5 and my order always went to "Preparing for Shipment" way after most people. In those cases, those were coordinated product launches pegged to a release date so it didn't matter. But in this case, I think I'll end up having to wait til Monday or so to get my computer. Still, I'm thrilled I'll be getting it well ahead of the holidays and now I have time to finally clean up my home office this weekend!
