27" Delivery time thread.

Looks like ours are sitting together. They should play some Battlefield 3 or something to pass the time.

LoL That makes at least 3 of us... Ccondo as well. I think they should skip the games and come up with a plan to escape the Fedex facility and sneak onto another plane 😉

We're lucky Apple doesn't ship by US Postal Service. Ordered 16gb of memory from OWC over a week ago and it just reached Maryland today from Chicago. I could have walked it faster.

Yeah, I was surprised by how long the memory took to get here from OWC from when it shipped. Of course it didn't help that the mailroom sent it up a couple days after it arrived, but still.
 
My 27" beaut of a machine has arrived.
i7,8GB,3TB Fusion,680MX

Quick impressions:
Unboxing was very impressive. From shipping container to packaging, top notch stuff. Get it setup, turn it on, its ready to go.
Everything is lightning fast. PS CS6 launched in less than a second. I s#$% you not. Lightroom 4.3, same thing. Can't wait to view my photo library with this much real estate.

I had to go back to work, but I'll get back to the new toy later tonight.

To everyone still waiting... hold tight, its worth the wait!!

Also, I got FedEx 2 day service for free early on. Apple initially said delivery was 17th. FedEx said delivery on the 14th, they delivered today, now that's a Christmas present!!

this thread has gone quiet since everyone who ordered in the first days has shipped. 🙁 . only a handful of us from the 5 minute club left with nothing to show for except the damn words 'processing'. if its not prepared to ship by tonight im calling apple up again and trying to talk my way into more free stuff or a discount. under normal circumstances, its still within the ship date period, but knowing that everyone else got theirs shipped its no fun.

anyone have any good arguing points lol?

It's really, really pointless to call Apple up. They have no clue AT ALL about what goes on in China. There's a huge disconnect, there. When I'd all but given up on mine ever going to Preparing for Shipment, I called Apple and they said it was on schedule for Dec 21-28. Then, within an hour it was Prepared for Shipment. So clearly they have no idea here.

I will say, as hard as it is, just be patient. It will finish processing. Good thing, too, since I found this lovely cliff nearby that I fancied taking a stroll off this morning...

From my experience, ask them "is there anything we can do about this"
Don't gripe at the rep - it's not their fault. Let them know your frustration, but be nice about it

I don't see a date when it left, so how many days did it take? And I'm talking how was it sent says on the bottom right of the FedEx page was it Int Priority?

I've been sorely tempted to call, but in some sense, I know I'm being a little ridiculous since it technically isn't late. My delivery window is Dec. 21-28. It's just really discouraging to see other people getting theirs when mine is still processing. I'm just not sure how much there is to be gained if I call, especially if, as others have said, there isn't anything the CSRs can do. If it is still processing on Monday, however, I will definitely call. But hopefully it won't be necessary.
 
Here is why UPS Sucks!

FedEx vs. UPS -- What to Expect

So, for those of us in the USA who decided not to fuss with whatever standard shipping Apple decided to offer when initially ordering, it looks like your package will ship UPS "World Ease" (which seems to me they'll take their time getting it around the world).

From what I've been able to glean from my own UPS experience and those who posted on this thread, it appears that you should expect your package to be in transit about a week from the UPS origin scan (local time). ...

My advice: if you can beg the Apple guys to upgrade your shipping without it affecting your order, do it.

BriMercer is right. Mine has been languishing in UPS facility in China for a day and a half now. Grrr. The estimated delivery date went from Monday 12/17 to Tuesday 12/18. Grrr, again!

I ordered mine at 5:45 am PST on 11/30 with the processor, fusion, 3gb hd, upgrades. I spent about 24 hours in processing purgatory.

Mine hasn't been scanned since Tues in Anchorage, however I just received a separate eMail from UPS that it will be delivered tomorrow Friday 12/14 rather than Monday as shown on the tracking page.

Code: 
Anchorage, AK, United States	 12/11/2012	 9:10 P.M.	Departure Scan
Shanghai, China	 12/12/2012	 5:12 A.M.	Departure Scan
Shanghai, China	 12/11/2012	 2:11 P.M.	Export Scan
Shanghai, China	 12/10/2012	 10:50 P.M.	Departure Scan
12/10/2012	 6:45 P.M.	Origin Scan
China	 12/10/2012	 7:21 A.M.	Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Others on that same shipment may see delivery tomorrow as well. 🙂
