And just like that knock knock. Who's there? iMac b!tch!



Hah, very nice.

Of course I had mine shipped to my work and have now taken the next two days off. And of course I planned a day in the city with my son on Friday (since it's arriving Monday)

Guaranteed it'll be here Friday now :)
 
So just checked FedEx website again. Looks like my iMac was the last one in the container of 10,000 packages and so the first one off because it is now on Vehicle for delivery! I'm feeling a sick day comming on.

:):) I think new Mac owners should have a 6-week leave to bond with our computers.
 
I have tracking showing Mon 17th arrival. Config is 3.4GHz i7, GTX 680MX, and Fusion Drive. If yours is different, please post your Cinebench, Heaven, and Luxmark results to give us a sense of CPU and GPU (openGL & openCL) power. I will post links & procedures on a different thread.
 
My maxed out 27in was scheduled for the 24th-31st, but it shipped yesterday. Arriving by the 19th. Can't wait! My 2006 iMac is about to be retired ;)

Hey Doc! Congrats! I remember we had the same build so I will be very curious to hear your impressions. I may still be in "processing" at that point.:D
 
I was upgraded to overnight delivery.

My iMac went out this morning but is showing delivery for Wednesday via UPS.

Is this on par with what everyone else had? It seems everybody else got overnight delivery.

Did not upgrade when ordered and did not phone Apple and asked to be expedited. It's arriving tomorrow, 10 days ahead of estimate.
 
As of 8:59am today, my iMac went from Preparing to Shipment to Shipped with an estimated delivery date of 12/17. iMac BTO i5/16Gb RAM/1Tb Fusion/680MX. Located in NYC, USA. Good stuff!
 
Mine finally shipped (was in Preparing for Shipment for about 24 hrs) and is scheduled to arrive on Monday.

I doubt it will show up tomorrow, but I guess you never know.
Monday would be better anyhow :)

3.4 i7/8gb RAM/ 3 Tb Fusion/680MX

To give you an update...

Called Apple.

The woman that selected overnight delivery selected the wrong option by accident.

So, my order went out normal delivery.

The rep offered me a Magic Mouse to compensate. Told her I had one already. She then offered me a bluetooth speaker. I took it, but unfortunately, my iMac will not arrive till mid-next week.

Business Order?

Did any of you whose order either shipped or changed to preparing for shipment order through the business store? And did anyone who is still waiting for a change order via the business store? I'm just grasping at straws here to try and figure out why mine is still processing. I don't really think it has anything to do with that, but it would just be nice to find some sort of logic here.
 
I chose standard delivery, and upgraded my hard drive to fusion - they said 24-28th originally. Soon afterwards I got my email from apple with a Dec. 18 date, and when I checked the tracking info - I found that UPS's delivery date was actually on the 17th. I signed up for email notifications, and today I got an email that says I can expect it tomorrow. :)

So I know some of you that choose expedited shipping have to already be setting your iMacs up..?

Has your actual tracking info on the UPS site changed yet? I signed up for mychoice 30 minutes before midnight yesterday, but didn't get the same email as you and others here received, hoping it's only because I signed up late for it.

Edit: UPS Hotline confirmed once again, delivery tomorrow between 12:30 and 4:15.

My status just changed to shipping! Originally scheduled Dec 24-31. Now will be delivered on the 19th.
27" high model w/ fusion
 
Cant do Hold at FedEx on 27"?

Ordered mine around 3am Central Time on November 30th. Finally went to Shipped as of this morning.

I tried to change the shipping to have Fed Ex hold it at a Fed Ex location. It says that isn't available?? Is that true? Here is the message I get on FedEx "We regret any inconvenience but Hold at FedEx Location service is not available for this shipment because the length and girth exceed the allocations allowed for this service."
 
Finally! Moved to Prep overnight, and got my Shipping notification 5 minutes ago. Probably missed all the FedEx flights for the day :mad: so it will be eating Chinese airport food tonight. Current ETA is Tuesday.

Are some shipped FedEx and some UPS?

Yes, 2-3 Day is Fed Ex
standard is UPS
