Ordered my BTO early morning on Oct 21st and it's still on Processing Items. It also still says delivers: 30 Oct - 3 Nov (to Montreal). I'm sure I'll get that email tomorrow morning saying it'll be late.
Got a tip for us?

I called into Apple this morning. She also said it was coming from "overseas" but hopefully it really comes from Cali. You did better than me with the 100 discount, I at least got free upgrade to expedited shipping but I really didn't push it much as I had to go to work. Maybe a call back to get more discount....LOL
Anyways, mine has changed finally to prepared for shipment so hopefully by tomorrow I will have some idea of who is shipping it and when I will actually receive it. I just need it to arrive by the end of next week as after that I'm out of the country for 3 weeks and I want it to be safe at home before I leave....

Just changed within the hour to Preparing For Shipment... So - like a few others here it took 3 days for that. Mine's an EPP order.
After I read your post I decided to check mine, fully expecting that it was still going to be in processing, but nope, it's Preparing for Shipment - FINALLY! I can't help but wonder if both of our iMacs are coming from the same plant?
In any case, I'm very relieved. I didn't really push for anything when I phoned, I just politely explained that others were getting their orders shipped even after having ordered a week and later than me, for the same system, and I wanted to know if she could check and see if my order had gotten glitched or messed up or something. After I explained it all she offered me the discount for my inconvenience which I really do appreciate.
That said, do they ship on the weekend? It might be Monday before we get the "Your order has shipped" email.
Now I have just one last thing to be paranoid about. I've read from a few people that their displays have had lot's of dead pixels, or that it's been dead out of the box. Let's hope that after such a long wait, we are at least lucky enough to get flawless systems.
Officially got my shipment delayed email today. I'd rather guessed that it was delayed by the fact that it didn't ship in the 5-7 business days it said it would. -_-
Says it'll ship in 1-2 Business Days, which unfortunately means 3-4 days thanks to weekend timing. We'll see if it gets delayed more after that...

I also didn't really push for anything but that goes to show how it depends on who you get on the phone. The lady I talked to said at first she could upgrade me to Expedited shipping and that would cost $35...I then politely asked if she could wave that fee since my computer had been delayed. She had to put me on hold and then a min later told me that yes she could wave the fee. No way she was giving me another $100 discount...LOL
I think they could ship on the weekend if they are in China, if they are in California then maybe not.
I'm just hoping that Expedited shipping means FedEx or Purorlator and not UPS for me as UPS is a huge headache in keeping their promised delivery times up north here. I think ours will probably leave together especially if they are from China. Only worry is that Expedited shipping is not an option for me when I purchase things from Apple and my Apple TV was Expedited even though I didn't pick that and it is now on the same UPS method as my iPhone was and that went by truck and missed delivery date by 3 days......
I guess it depends on how fast expedited shipping is and what the routes are. Truthfully though, unless its by air (which it isnt), its most likely going to be a week to 10 days starting when it ships, which should be (better be!) Monday.
Just got the Shipped notification (via FedEx) but too early to see any other info so I'm not sure where it's coming from.
Would love if mine changes too today. However I ordered on the 27th - a week after you...
But a bunch of ours all changed on Friday to Preparing so we'll see
I got my shipment notification 2 hours ago as well. I didn't think they could ship it until Monday, but I'm not complaining. Now I just hope it gets here for the weekend, and hopefully with no issues.
Nice!
I think what's happening is they are slapping all the shipping labels onto the boxes and they will be picked up in the morning...
Mine is coming via Fedex but it doesn't show any tracking information yet; probably will be picked up in the morning. It's supposed to be coming from California though. Hope yours ships soon too; it very likely could ship tomorrow since it was in preparing to ship since last Friday. I would be surprised if it didn't. Good luck!
If they do ship Fedex and from California I may actually get it in time as Fedex will only go Air up to here and that is the only way they will meet the Nov 4-5 estimate they are still giving me. I hope to wake up tomorrow to a shipping notice finally.
Mine got set to Preparing for Shipment a few minutes ago! Ordered on the 21st, after getting delayed estimated delivery date is now Thursday - Friday, so seems like it should hopefully actually arrive by that date unless this Preparing for Shipment is delayed as well.
Mine is "shipped" but so far the only tracking detail is "a shipping label has been created", which I got yesterday. It's almost 2 pm where i live; hope it gets moving soon!
I got shipping email this AM and it is Fedex but also no info or info not found on Fedex yet and now it is already noon PST.
Mine is picked up in Ontario interestingly enough. Not sure when it moved from California to Ontario, but thats great news. Ontario is only 4 hours away by air, so i just might get it on the 5th as estimated.
That's Ontario, California. Apple has a logistics center there - it's where the labels get created. Actual shipping will likely be from Rialto.
Mine just arrived! Working from home to receive it, so I now have to be diligent for the next two hours and actually get some work done on a couple of files before I let myself play. Gonna be tough.
