Now i need it to be my turn!! am i the only one left in the 5 minute club?
 
I literally just joined this forum site to let everyone know that my order entered at 12:03 on the 30th of November just changed status to preparing for shipment to Canada.

Thanks everyone for this somewhat informative, but always entertaining thread.
 
So my order switched to "preparing for shipment" late last night (thank god!). For those who have already been through the process, how long did it take to get the "now shipping" status with a tracking number?

I'm really hoping to get mine before the 23rd when I leave town for the holidays. Otherwise I'll have to arrange for someone to accept delivery at my house!
 
7 minute club :D

8 minute club here.
Can't remember what time I started the order, but I got the confirmation email Nov 30 at 12:08am PST.

Ordered the very basic $1799 27" with no configuration. Shipping to Vancouver, Canada. Delivery date was Dec 24-Jan 3 (but called Apple and expedited to Dec 21 to 31).

Still processing.

Took mine approximately 24 hours.
 
Just curious what time was the order or confirmation email? Ordering started earlier than midnight.

Well, for me the ordering went live at around 2:57am EST (I'm in Canada) and I ordered as quickly as humanly possible -right down to the fact that I ordered the basic 27" system with no additional items etc and checked out immediately. It took me 2-3 minutes maximum to complete my order.
I received the actual confirmation email with a time stamp of 3:05am EST.

Mine was about 13 hours. I would expect that they are shipping out daily, so 24 hours would probably be the max.
 
YES YES YES!!!

There must be hordes of us out there. Happy for those who got promoted to shipping. Also happy that I'm not the only 7/30 orderer left in the world. And I'll be even happier....soon. Or better be!
 
Oh I forgot to give my specs I ordered mine at 11:34 am. Eastern 3.4, I7' 1tb fusion drive, 8gig ram, wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad
 
Any of you in the preparing/shipped an educational discount? I'm wondering if that's what's taking mine longer...
 
Still waiting on mine. used education discount coupled with 2 gift cards and a cc.

Order confirmation received at 3am EST

Still processing

Same with the gift card thing. Ok as long as I Prep for shipping before the week is over I'll be sane.
