How would we know if ours is on that flight? Mine has been "In Transit" since 9:56 (EST) this morning. Maybe?

It requires a leap of supposition, followed by a tracking data point of confirmation. ;)

Basically, you take the "In Transit" date/time of Shanghai, marry it with your carrier info, put it on the next flight, and shazam, Bob's your uncle. :D
 
I'm in your boat...(or not, still languishing somewhere in China).

Order remains stuck on "processing items". Stuck like a rusty hinge. A deer in the headlights.

Tick tock..tick...tock....tiiiiiccccccckkkkk........tooooocccccckkkk.......

[ordered i7, 680mx, 1tb fusion 7/30 at 7am pst from California]

Yup...right here, ordered 5 am EST on the 30th....and still waiting...and waiting...and waiting...and.....waiting..................and ...........waiting....:mad:
 
My fedex tracking page just updated. Still in Shanghai

Dec 14, 2012 4:00 AM
At local FedEx facility
SHANGHAI CN

If you are in transit since 9:56AM, my guess is that you are on FDX90 which leaves at 10:22. If you see an update tonight around 10:45 in Tennessee, there's a good chance you're getting it Friday morning before 10:30.

Congratulations!!! For some reason, your status change gives me more hope than any of the others. "If EDRY'S is going to ship, then surely mine will too!" ;) Let us know when yours ships and what delivery time they give you.
 
Anybody stuck at the Shenghai local facility and with a FedEx delivery date of the 17th? Hmm wonder when these will actually go out

Congratulations! You get to keep your sanity. Hopefully your iMac will make its way to you swiftly. :D

Wahoo!!!!! :D

I think I was checking this thread as much AFTER mine changed status as before! Go edry!
 
AT LAST I went to Preparing for Shipment!!

(Ordered 11/30 8am CST, Original ship window 24-31st)

I'm betting I see it Monday or Tuesday, no sooner.
 
thank you guys once again !!! i feel like yelling at the supervisor for a little bit got things rolling a bit she just gave me a call back and confirmed the whole preparing for shipping thing. So to the people who are still processing id recommend waiting till tonight or tomorrow morning if your order still processing ask to speak to a supervisor. its not fair we got our orders in early and its still processing. Best of luck everyone!! Ill keep you updated!
 
Ordered mine in UK 8.25am GMT 30 Nov (15 mins after going on UK apple store). Was dispatched today with UPS - and UPS scheduling for 19th delivery. Apple initially said 21st - 2nd Jan... But still say 20th.

Agreed. A bit of a joke, really. I'd love Apple to be taken to task about this, but it's probably hard to keep track of all the different configurations. This isn't like iPhone orders, which I'd bet are easier to organize.

Still, that doesn't excuse Apple from the strange way they've done things this time...

But, our iMacs will be with us soon, and let's face it - the world will be a better place when that happens. :p

My order finally changed to Preparing too. I think some time around 3:46pm EST today.

Just curious, did I win the contest of earliest order but last to fulfill? Is there anyone out there with an order date of 11/29 11:57pm PST or earlier who still is stuck at Processing?

Hopefully this means all the other early orders stuck at Processing will ship soon. Given that my delivery data was Dec 20, it was getting close anyway.

Thank God, Edry. Mine shipped yesterday but I've been checking the forum at this point, mostly to see your status. This was a terrible injustice.

What is your shipping type?
