27" Delivery time thread.

@chfilm:

You sure can, just check your order and edit the delivery adress. The link should be in the confirmation e-mail.
 
I'll be at my in-laws house all but one of the days in the expected delivery window, so I changed the ship to address to their house. Can't wait!
 
I don't think that the delivery times expedited or standard will make any difference at all. They will all ship out of China as they become ready, and then within a couple business days hit in the States for delivery. This seems always the case with new BTO releases.

You are most likely correct. Saw the same type of thread for the initial release of the 4th generation iPad.

A lot of folks were posting how they were able to get expedited shipping mainly because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

I never did and I received mine in the initial wave the same as those who had expedited shipping, which by the way was a week earlier than we all had our our status page.
 
I just wanted a date in 2012 for the receipt for tax purposes. It is just a little piece of mind having "expedited shipping" and it was nice to get a magic mouse for free.
 
just got notification my mouse shipped . I almost crapped myself cause at first glance I thought my iMac Shipped.
 
I called and got it changed to 12/21-12/28. No mouse, though. I should have just asked for one, but I would have felt awkward doing it.

Call em back and ask . I felt awkward as well. the worst they can say is no. the guy said its basically a Thank You for doing buisness with them . nothing wrong with accepting a Thank You Gesture . just tell em you heard that some customers are receiving the MM as a courtesy and you were wondering if they can extend that courtesy to you.

Why would they give you a free wireless keyboard? What is the point of having two keyboards?
 
What I dont understand is...shipment dispatches in 2-3 weeks. That means worst case 3 weeks, which would be 22 of December. But delivery says 7-8th of January. So we are talking a minimum of 16 days in shipping time after it gets dispatched??? Why? Is TNT taking holiday for 2 weeks while holding my machine or something?

I wanted to change my wired keyboard for a wireless, but they cant change the order without canceling so as a one time courtesy they added a wireless one for free.

I would check Apple's web site out. Seems like you have been given duff advice :rolleyes: Not sure about the start date of Applecare though.

Items purchased at the Apple Online Store that are received between October 27, 2012 and December 25, 2012, may be returned through January 7, 2013

http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund

You have 14 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it. For an Apple iPhone, you have 30 calendar days.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday and nobody at Applecare could give me an answer. In fact, someone created a case number to assure me what you said is true. How simple it would have been if they would just clarify their written policy.

Could we get in trouble for it? say it breaks on said seller and he tries to get it replaced

No you definitely wouldn't. As the rightful owner, you can do whatever you want with it.

And what do you mean if it breaks on the seller? You mean the buyer?
 
Ahhhh man! I ordered a BTO last friday as soon as i could and the delivery window was: 21 Dec, 2013 - 2 Jan, 2013

Now it states: 02 Jan, 2013 - 07 Jan, 2013
Probably because of the payment method i chose: bank transaction. The transaction was confirmed this morning. After that they adjusted the delivery window.

This sucks :)

This is not correct.

I just spoke with someone at Apple online chat and they said this:

"The warranty on the Macs would indeed start at the time of purchase, however what that really means is from the time that the payment is processed at which point the Mac actually ships out. So at most, you should be losing about 7 days of the warranty, rather than the entire time before the items would ship out."

I then asked this:

So if I add the AppleCare protection plan for iMac - Auto Enroll right now and purchase my 27" iMac today, it won't ship for 3-4 weeks. So when will the AppleCare actually activate?

The Apple rep's answer was:

"The order would actually show you that it is "processing" for that 3-4 week period, as it would not actually charge you until the order has shipped out. At that point you would be notified via email with further instructions on how to track the order through the carrier, and that's when the warranty would actually go into effect."

That's funny because I called and I got a different story *maybe due to legal differences between countries => Spain*. The Rep wasn't sure and put me on hold the time to confirm it from somebody from Apple Care, he then told me that the Auto Enroll Apple Care will start the day the iMac is activated and that's automatical so no I will not lose a day of warranty / Apple Care (bought on Nov. 30th, estimate delivery first week of Jan).
