Hello, first time post-er here. I ordered an iMac, my first Apple computer, that was supposed to ship from 1-3 business days but its been four now and the status page still says "Processing Order" Is this normal? The delivery window is still a few days away, though. Any thoughts from people who have ordered from apple.com before? Thank you.
 
Have you customized the iMac with i7? then it is normal to take up to five days, if not it is strange.

Good luck with your iMac!

I am going for the 27" i7 with 256 SSD soon!

:D

If you BTO-ed it, then it's normal.

It took a full week for my BTO iMacs to be delivered to my home.
 
Yes, I customized it with a solid state drive, but the delivery window they gave me does not seem realistic considering it is still in the Processing items stage. I can't help but wonder if the release of the iPhone 6 is preventing other types of items from shipping on time from apple.com. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Then if it's not one of the build to order options that are often ordered it may have to come directly from the factory.

It wouldn't surprise me.

I called Apple about a week delay on my rMBP and i mentioned about the iPhone released thats probably causing the delay..they didnt verbally acknowledge it but it looks like thats what preventing it…oh well they gave me a free Apple TV :)
