while i can't speak for anyone except myself, I am frustrated that there is no update on when my order could possibly ship or be delivered...just the very vague "january". honestly i'm seriously contemplating canceling my order. I'm not in the US and because Apple doesn't ship to APO I have to add an additional two weeks to whatever the expected delivery date is...so unless they pull a miracle off I won't get my computer until February. Unlike many other people posting here I bought it out of necessity as my laptop recently crashed. So I have to weight going a month and a half to two months without a computer or slumming it and buying a cheap pc to last me until apple can get their production together and deliver in a reasonable amount of time.
I feel your pain, although I am currently in the US, I've been computer-less for about a month now and it's seriously not helping out my freelance work being a graphic designer and recent college grad. I've debated canceling my order as well, but my only hope is that within the next few weeks orders will be shipped faster than expected (I might just being having pipe dreams though). I went through the same dilemma ordering my iPhone 5 on it's first pre-order day and I've been nothing but satisfied after it's arrival, so maybe everything will work out and we'll all be happy campers at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.

thank the heavens someone understands what it's like being without a computer and suffering through this wait. i just imagine how beautiful it will look, the graphics, the large screen, the lightening fast fusion drive and i TRY to convince myself it will be worth it. Maybe if we do a fast production dance they will churn out several days worth of orders each day, lol.
I understand you'd love to have your iMac right now, that's fair, but why do you complain about the "January" date as if Apple let you down? Didn't it say "January" when you ordered? It's exactly like if you were feeling cheated because your iMac has a 27 inch screen and not a 30''! It's right there on the specs, you're fully fine not to like it, but no-one has cheated you.
On a side note, they're telling January and nothing more for a very obvious reasons: they know they might give it to you mid Jan, but they also know that they might give it to you late Jan, depending on factors they can't 100% predict or control.
So, what do you choose as a manager? Tell the customer 15th Jan, hope for the best and then have your customer outraged if you find yourself unable to deliver or tell the customer Jan and then either pleasantly surprise him or keep the promise? Is it so hard to get?
The hard part of this is that there is indeed a risk that they WON'T be keeping their promises. The supply chain is obviously tight, and if you are in a life-dependant situation i wouldn't bet my job on receiving my iMac by Jan 31st.
Speaking for myself, i have a delivery window ending Jan 11, i have no problem if they slip a week over or two (not that i like it but i won't suicide), but it's becoming more and more likely that they're gonna miss the promise.

Good news: Apple is still promising January shipping for new orders. Bad News: Barely a trickle of shipments in recent days per "the spreadsheet". I was hoping to see some post holiday shipments on there when I woke up this morning.
Me, too. Seems like there's been not much activity there or in this thread since last Friday.
Problem with financing
Hi!
I have a question for you guys.
I ordered my 27inch on the morning of Nov 30th. At that moment, Apple was expecting a dec27-jan4 delivery.
Unfortunately, my Apple Financial Services code expired during the time Apple processed my item (****** long). So, i had to call TD Bank to make sure everything was ok with my financing (and it was). I called Apple on dec. 31th to make sure that i didn't lose my place in delivery queue. They told me no but my order went from Preparing for shipment (on dec. 29) to Processing since dec. 31th. It is stucked at this status since 3 days.
What should i do? Call again ?
I was supposed to get it by jan.4 and now it says JANUARY. It seems like i've been put at the end just like i ordered it yesterday..

Ordered mine on december 7th from apple.com. Maxed out except for RAM (ordered Crucial Kit) Located in NJ. Still processing order...I"ve been like an addict checking this forum and my apple account for any updates....Not fun....
Anybody know if Barclay will accomodate the special financing even though my account hasn't been charged within the 30 days? I'm hoping they'll honor it still once I show them the order date on my final invoice.

I wrote an email to Apple last week and received a call today from a senior.
She told me that there is nothing they can do to speed up delivery at the moment until my iMac arrives to Europe. Anyway, she checked and my iMac is now produced and ready and I'll see a PFS soon...
Ordered on 12/06 maxed out expt. RAM
Happy new year to all

Yeah, I'm hoping that since it is now "January", the ETA might get a bit more specific with a range of dates. I'm also hoping for a bit more of a ramping up than we have seen so far.
Yes I too was hoping that with January arriving those that have orders placed would now get a range of dates as to when delivery might be.
Any bets when new order delivery changes to February?
yeah I'm wondering that too but the official terms say you must be charged within 30 days to get the special financing so thus far it's a no but maybe if you call them and explain the situation
I ordered Dec 8. Same as yours except 1tb HDD (have external TB disk enclosure and disks all ready).
I've had several conversations with two different Apple CSRs who both have assured me that the 30 day zero interest with Barclay will be honored even if it takes longer than 30 days to charge the card. For what it's worth.
I'm trying to be patient. Apple has not lied to me, misrepresented anything, and gave me a free wireless keyboard (I ordered the usb one with the numpad, then tried to change it to wireless: they gave me one rather than have me lose my place in the queue!).
I'm just feeling a little impatient, is all. Dammit. I'd just like to see a little movement, but I suppose EVERYONE is entitled to a holiday!
Apple "a company without products to sell"
What do ya think? catchy?
Ain't that the truth. I remember walking into my Apple Store a few weeks after the Keynote and there being no iMac's on display. They really did jump the gun on this announcment. They really should of held off till they had manufacturing figured out. Imagine if the iMac actually sold a lot. I mean if it was as popular as their laptops the delivery date would be up to April by now.
