Sort of good news

My neighbour just placed an order Dec29. It shows January shipping. She assumes that the queue is shortening to a four week wait. Let us infer none of will be pushed back to February.
Cheers. Have a really wonderful New Year.
 
Placed my order on 27 December
Status: Processing Items (option to cancel)

BTO:
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB (going to upgrade RAM myself)
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
MAGIC TRACKPAD
Apple WL Kybd (English)

Estimated Ship Date: January

(i'm dying to get my hands on it, especially after reading the 680mx reviews! sadly only game i have right now is the sims 3 so i'm hoping it'll play flawlessly on high graphics.)
 
Sweeeet!

This morning my order moved to "Preparing for shipment", at noon it was "Shipped" with a delivery date of 7th January, but now it updated to 2th January. All in one day!

Ordered on the 6th December.
 
Well its not a US order but Dec 9th show's promise!! My order is Dec 13.

Maybe I'll be "preparing" next week!

I ordered on the 18th and when I called apple they said they will start showing times next week but hopefully they are soon. ;)

Good for you! Things like these make me lose faith in Apple though. Looks like it's just random selection with them, i'm still stuck at preparing and i ordered the 30th..
 
Shipped!

Expected delivery: Jan 2nd!

odered on the 7th

Base model with Fusion Drive

So excited....too bad I won't be home until the 6th :eek:
 
On Tenterhooks No Longer...

Some who have ordered later than I have already received shipping notifications. I'll just have to take this as a small ray of hope that I'll soon be going from "Processing Items" to "Preparing for Shipment" ... arghh!

Dude, I would get on to them. Surely if you prove to them that others who ordered much later are getting theirs, they should do something! I ordered on 2nd and I'm starting to get pissed. Mind you I've been stupidly waiting since last January :/

I called them yesterday. Unfortunately i live in The Netherlands and that means i can only communicate with the dutch online apple folks. Which aren't really bright if you get my point ;)

The dude on the phone even told me that it was normal for a status to revert from PFS back to Processing. What's even more insane is that i ordered around the same time as "Bintje" (a member on the forum here) with the same payment method and we both live in the same small town. She got the iMac yesterday and i'm still stuck in PFS.

Too bad i don't live in the US since it seems like Apple only cares about their US customers and not their European/Dutch.

I know what you mean, we seem to be less of a piority if we're anywhere but the US :( it can't be normal to move back to processing, that must mean something has gone wrong, I just wish they would give the smallest amount of info. Where in the Netherlands are you from? I'm heading your way in June to see iron maiden ;) it's gonna be epic!
 
Yes, maybe this sounds like an ******* comment... But it wasn't meant to insult him. It's just what I think about this kind of presents.
And yes it's of course completely relative.
Now calm down.

@vannibombonato
Nothing to deny about this. It was kind of a imprudent and hasty post, and I just stated what I think about it.

I'm out off here before this escalates even more. Happy iMac tracking. (;[/QUOTE


so if i tell you your mothers a whore, its ok as long as i say "ohhh i didnt mean it that way" cmon

I had no idea my post would cause all of this craziness - so sorry everyone!


thats the thing, you didnt do anything to stir up anything, no need to feel sorry... You should be able to come on here and seek advice or help on a topic without people dissecting everything you say and twisting it into their own crazy interpretation and making an argument out of it..

Shipped. Due by 08/01/2013.

I'm sorry is that an "8" as in august?!

Yeah i know. Nothing i can do but wait really. Already cleaned up my desk etc to make some room ;)

I live about 50km from Utrecht (That's the largest place nearest to my little town) Where are you from then? Already got your iMac?

I had a bit too much concerts lately, first one is in March again (Lil Wayne) then the next in September (Pink Floyd)

Yeah - I was initially taken aback at the comment and didn't know what to make of it - lol

Ordered mine on 2nd December and came on 27th.. Had to refuse it though.. Forgot to order fusion drive.. Now my other one is processing and will be dispatched in jan.. I'm in the uk btw
 
Mine came into Anchorage and then promptly left. And I live in Anchorage! :)

Fortunately I know why & expected it. The current delivery promise is Monday.
 
I live in the US and mine went to preparing or shipment for three days, then back to processing, then back to preparing for shipment for about a day before shipping. Now my est arrival is Monday by noon. Can't wait. :D
 
Hmmm ...

Having ordered on the 8th, I though today might be the day I'd see "Preparing for Shipment"

I've been checking the fantastic spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlEmmsf8GxV9dE1EQnFzWGpidFduY1Qxb2ZYUFZTQ2c#gid=0 and seeing as how orders on the 7th seemed to prepare yesterday, and seeing as how it looks like a 21 day average ...

No luck.

In fact - according to the spreadsheet (which is a small sample, I know) - nothing prepared today. Anybody see any "preparing" today? I'd assume it's a 7-days-a-week operation, yes?

thats a good question, i noticed the same thing myself...I ordered the 5th, still nothing here either...still processing...

It will come, eventually :/ I'm waiting on a new desk for mine anyway at the mo, hopefully that will come before my iMac does or it will be in the box staring at me for a few days :(
I'm from Norwich in the uk, is that some of the real floyd your seeing or Australian pink floyd? I'm hoping DeWolff will be playing somewhere when I'm over, I've been wanting to see them for a while now.
