I can't access the Apple Store tracking page due to overloaded servers. But I called the 800 number and it's still processing, and I ordered on Dec 1. I feel like one of the people in the 5 minute club who ordered in the first 5 minutes, yet people after them are having their orders shipped out while their orders are still processing.

I get the same error with the tracking system(german one)...
Ordered on 30th but paid via wire transfer.
Got 3rd-9th as estimated delivery.

Try calling the Apple Store's phone number to track your order. I still get the error on the US online store as well.

I think 'll just wait. Last time a called the german support, the phone-guy seemed to be a bit nerved and wasn't really helpful.
Maybe it works again in an hour or so. And maybe with a happy surprise regarding my order status. Hope dies last.

The US online store is back up again. Try checking the German Apple Store online.
 
Ordered on first day afternoon got a 12/31 - 1/7 estimate. It was just shipped today via regular shipping.
 
Just checking again in this thread too... Has anyone else's status changed yet for those who placed an order on or after December 1st and are located in the US?
 
I'm happy that people who ordered after 11/30 are seeing their machines shipped, but what gives? Why are first day orders still processing?

Help me understand LOL! My 2007 iMac is on it's last leg and begging to be retired.
 
Ordered December 4th, shipping somewhere between 3rd and 9th January :/

Nope. Same. I keep checking the credit card.

Honestly, the other delivery thread I would laugh at people tracking flights, stalking UPS trucks and taking days off....



And here I am, F5'ing my order status like it's crank.
 
I just got off the phone with a very nice Apple rep who stated that orders are processed over the weekend. Also, for 27" iMac BTO orders in the Dec 31 - Jan 7 range, the rep also stated that he expects our orders to go into the preparing to ship stage anytime between today and at the latest Dec 24, and then it will either ship out on Mon, Dec 24, Wed, Dec 26, or Thurs, Dec 27 at the latest.
 
Yesssssss !!!! "Preparing for shipment". What a fantastic little sentence.

3.4 / 3T fusion / 680mx / trackpad, ordered 3:25pm EST 11/30 education store
 
Super excited as my 30th November UK order has finally switched to "Preparing for Shipment" just after midnight GMT

Thanks, reading this has given me a little piece of mind.

I truly feel like a little kid at Christmas time.
The excitement is building...

How many more sleeps? :D
