I bet he still ordered on NOV 30th, perhaps everyone in DENMARK had January ship dates. I'm not really sure if this means anything for us in the states. I really do hope this is a good sign for us!?

No i was 12 hours late, 30. November. I ordered 7:00 PM Mid europe time.
I ordered when it was 3-4 weeks! :O It was 2-3 weeks earlier on the day! :D
 
Originally my order was Dec-31-Jan 7 but I called and they moved it to Dec 28-Jan4 via next day shipping by noon. Hoping it possibly will ship sooner than that.

It was BTO -
•3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
•16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X8GB
•1TB Fusion Drive
•NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
 
Well, it looks like we have the first member named Fantola in the 2013 delivery date group who has their iMac being prepared for shipment!

Again, this is not me, but someone else who has their iMac being prepared for shipment.

Here's their post:



Here's their proof screenshot from another thread:

If you think that one day made a difference you can imagine what waiting until today to order has done for me. My estimated date is January, which probably means as close to the 31st as possible.

Hi EK23,

I believe we both are in the same boat. I ordered mine on the 10th as well. All it says is "January". Do update us if you see any changes.

----------

Well you know what, I had an initial delivery date of 21 dec-2 jan, which became "January" after an apparent misunderstanding with the Apple phone rep. I cancelled the order thinking I'd buy from a shop, it was a standard config + Pages after all.

The story is, today visiting these threads I saw many people getting their iMac I thought I'd get a shot at passing my order again. I kept the default configuration completely unchanged, no preinstalled software or other options.

Within minutes, the status page said Preparing for shipment. The delivery date still says January but I am optimistic.

Wow. If I understood that correctly, you placed a fresh order for the iMac yesterday and it changed to "preparing for shipment" today? Can you confirm that for us please? If its preparing for shipment, then i think yours should get shipped sometime early next week.

What day / time did you order? What was your estimated delivery? Are you in the U.S.?

Maybe we should have a 'January' delivery thread so all of the folks with the vague ship date of January can discuss and update as the status of orders start changing.
 
I ordered my BTO 27" at 7.30pm British time on 1st December. Got a 31-7th delivery date, my order is still on processing :(

Would be really nice to get it as early as possible in January, doing a bit of travelling for work that month so would like to get it set up before all that.

About $150.
 
I figured we could have a centralized thread for 27" iMac orders in the Dec 31 - Jan 7 range to keep track easier.

Does anyone in the Dec 31 - Jan 7 range show their status as preparing for shipment? Mine still shows processing items (I'm in the US, and I have expedited shipping as well).

Nope, still shows processing, but that's normal...I wouldn't be surprised if mine slips a little, my Apple representative hinted that BTO's might "Take a little longer" Hopefully first week in january, but it might be the week after that.
 
Ordered 11/30 @ 3:55 pm CST

Still Processing....

Yes I placed the order on 12th and it is scheduled for delivery on 19th. Again, that is the base 27" model - I read it is available in Apple Stores and Best Buys in the US. I posted a status picture in the other thread.
 
My iMac just shipped! :D
(I have 21. dec estimated)

I really don´t understand why I have such a silly delivery date. You live in denmark, I live in Norway. My was shipped on thursday and still it says 4th of january as delivery day (on the tracking page). Doesn´t make sense that it should use 2 WEEKS MORE from Denmark to Norway?????

I hope you are right. First time the shipping page was up it said 27 december, then moved to 4th of january :( But your was shipped on friday, with regular shipping ?
 
A weird thing just happened on my BTO top of range 27" iMac order. It slipped from 2-8th January to non-specific JANUARY. Anyone else have that? WTF? Trying very hard to remain rational and keep entitled me at bay...
