ordered 12/7 still says "Available to ship: January "

BTW... I saw on my credit card that the amount (about 3000$) was deleted! I've been charged when I purchased it but now the transaction doesn't appear anymore.. WTF?

I think that initial charge is just to make sure the funds are available. Did the same to me. Mine will be here Monday and still the charge hasn't been completed.
 
My order is now in Anchorage with the rest of yours! Mine is the standard config ordered by telephone order on 9am (pdt) on Novermber 30 and shipping to California. BTW, I just realized that I no longer have a firewire port on the new iMac so I called Apple and the nice rep gave me a thunderbolt to firewire adapter for free (value $29)! Since I am greedy, I also asked for a superdrive but couldn't get that also.

Mine shows no change since this morning's "In Transit" at 10:48PM Shanghai. I expected it to show up in Anchorage after that flight arrived. Could it have sat "In Transit" until the flight to Memphis left? I'm in the Midwest, so that would be preferable.

Yes, that is what seems to be happening. Either the holds expire, or are released prior to the actual charge.
 
Now that a lot of the people who ordered early are receiving their iMacs, it might be time for some of us who ordered late to start comparing notes.

I tried to order at 3:30 am PST on 11/30. At that time it was still listed as a 2-3 week ship time. However, I had trouble with my Barclay card that I couldn't get straightened out until about 8:00 pm PST on 11/30. By that time, ship times had slipped to 3-4 weeks. My delivery range is quoted as Dec. 31 - Jan. 7. Doh!

Still processing:

i5 3.2 Mhz
8GB RAM
1TB Fusion
680MX


Same here. I had ordered first thing. Then decided later in the day to change to a 3tb fusion. My 2-3 weeks went to 3-4 (delivery Dec 31 - Jan 7).

I have 31-7 as my delivery estimate also. Have you seen anyone with that estimate prepare/ship yet??
 
So the UPS shipments originally scanned 12/10/2012 will arrive December 17th

And it seems the UPS shipments scanned in China on 12/13/2012 will also arrive December 17th.

Seems like UPS is just hoarding all shipments this weekend for super Saturday

Make no sense how one package shipped 3 days earlier will arrive the same time as packages shipped on 12/13/2012

I have to admit that for then it probably makes sense logistically speaking (I strongly hope), nevertheless, today and yesterday was a big letdown by UPS. Yeah the 17th is still great, based on Apple's delivery estimates, but if Apple had not messed up my expedited delivery and sent it with FedEx, I would have gotten it in the 12th.

I'm planning to get a new 27" ... My apple store didn't have them yet, the site says available to ship in January.. does that mean apple stores will have them then? If I were to order one now, would I get one sooner? If I order one today, how long would it take to arrive? (I live outside Philadelphia, PA)

Just trying to decide if I want to just order one and wait, or wait and buy one at the apple store.
 
My vote goes to millk18 for being the most powerful force in processing cessation support! Within two hours of his pledge of support my processing woes are now over! It actually does change and it now appears to say "Preparing for Shipment."

If you are stuck in the processing endless loop I strongly urge you to contact my macbro millk18 immediately and ask for his support. You will be amazed at his powers!

Many thanks millk18!

Haha, I could use some support - still at processing, ordered about 7 minutes after it went live.
 
FYI. The word "import scan" from the UPS tracking in Lousiville that finally got updated after 3 days from Alaska

"It means it has been held in the "bonded" warehouse or "free trade zone" area of the Louisviile building. Import duties are not due until it is "imported"

Rock on, Brother Echomango!

And to all of us remaining 11/30ers... raise your arms, palms to the sky and repeat with me as we appeal to the tech gods, "Processing Items, No More!" ;)

Ordered online at 7:30am on November 30, St. Louis MO
27" / 3.4GHz / 8GB RAM / 3TB Fusion Drive /GeForce GTX 680MX
 
Dec 28 - Jan 4. This is my second order, as I cancelled my first order (5minutes after launch) because of a config change. Seeing everyone getting theirs early, I was hoping I would get mine before Christmas, but I am coming to the realization that it won't happen.

So are you using standard shipping or something else? .....cause if you're using standard shipping and still have an earlier timeframe, I'm gonna be pissed! :)

In their tv commercials, UPS spokesman Ed Harris asks, "What can Brown do for you?"

Well for a start, they could deliver my damn package!

Still, my iMac is inching closer. Hang in there, fellow UPS sufferers.

Not sure if you were the one I was texting with or not about being in the same boat. I looked at your tracking that you listed and yours just originated on the 12th two days ago and its already in Louisville, KY. Thats sounds very right. I was telling you mine was the same except mine started on the 10th, so mine as been sitting for 4 days without movement. That is why I posted the conversation with UPS, they do not have a clue. I am sure you will be fine and yours will show up Monday for sure, no worries.

Keep in mind that if you buy at the Apple store you cannot get upgrades. Those are special order only. And when I ordered mine with the upgrades, I was not allowed to have it delivered to the store for pickup, only to my house.
