Zzz. Wake me up when mine stops processing.

----------


WilliamG...wake up! I was starting to feel like we were some of the last processing hold outs but mine just switched to Preparing For Shipment in the last 15 minutes...you must be soon!

I7/8gb/3TBFusion/680...ordered 12:11am PST 11/30
 
There is no doubt that there is no rhyme or reason how Apple has determined which orders to fill first.

I do believe that Apple should get credit for doing everything they can to fill the preorders for a product that by all indications was going to be in short supply initially.

They have done something in this rollout that I don't remember them doing in the past. They have always devoted a portion of the manufacturing capacity to build stock for the retail stores.

They haven't done that this time. If you place an order today you will see that the 27" model won't be available in the stores until January.

I just feel they do deserve some credit for attempting to meet the preorder demand.

I would feel the same way if mine had already shipped. But what you say is true my ship date is 24-30 so it's not late till after then.

Totally. The fact that pre-order-ers have their iMac's before the retail stores have them is telling you something very important, they care about the diehards. Without us all, the hype would be a lot lower.
 
Yup, I'm in the same boat, if it actually left AK, then it's more then likely in KY and just didn't get it's arrival scan, the next scan you see will probably be a departure to wherever tonight .... hopefully ....

Mine looks identical to yours, including Monday as delivery. When I called UPS, the lady said it was on its way to KY and will be delivered Friday.
 
Finally preparing for shipment! First to order, one of the last of the 5 minute club to ship :D:D:D

I7/8gb/3TBFusion/680 also.... Confirmation email at 11:58 PST 11/29.

Still processing.

Don't get it.

So very frustrating.
 
I for one, am planning to cheer loudly when Edry and WilliamG get theirs shipped! Pullin for ya guys!

Thanks man I highly appreciate it! :). I really feel crappy right now. I just can't get over the fact that people who ordered after me got theirs in first I wish to understand how that happens. Processing o'death :(

yea.... beats me. i used 2 gift cards and a cc... maybe thats why mine hasnt processed yet. you put everything on one cc?
 
Not quite the last, *still* processing here
:(

Happy for you though, congrats!

fixed my post for ya. I called apple about 4 hours ago to "vent" and the rep was great. He confirmed everything and nothing jumped out that should be holding it up. He was also confused as to why my order hadn't moved yet as I ordered @ 11:56 pm on the 29th. Finally, he offered to reduce my price so I'm back to being under budget.

sweet i tried calling earlier again to 'vent'. she saw i already got a free wireless keyboard so she didnt offer anything else. i guess i coulda pushed for it, but idk.. maybe i shoulda got that discount! :D

Woke up! Checked order status! Processing! Went back to sleep!

Knowing my luck, don't expect to cheer for me anytime soon. :D

hang it there! I have a feeling it'll be by tomorrow morning at the latest.
(and yes, that it much easier for me to write now that it would have been 10 minutes ago)

Wow, still nothing...Will you been in here for a while good luck

I hope mine gets shipped out soon sometime around 11-12AM PST the same time it went into preparing for shipment last night.
 
I'm in the first 60-minutes club and my BTO 27" is still processing. On the plus side, the fact that some are receiving their 27"ers this early is still a good sign for all of us waiting on our orders. :)
 
Been over 12 hours since my status went from Processing Items to Preparing for Shipping. For anyone who is in the same boat as I am, I would bet they put our tickets in for prep right before they clocked out last night, and are just now getting them ready. If I had to guess. About iMac shipments. Which, after 6-7 years of lurking the forums, I finally made an account just to talk about. What is my life?
 
Has anybody that preordered after the 30th seen theirs prepare to ship? What is the latest we've seen even on the 30th? I preordered mine around 3PM est.
