Delivery Thread for 27" iMac December Orders

[corporatestooge]

Hey, Dip... Can't you please make another diagram? Would be awesome to see if the trend we saw in the first one continues.
Alto I'm pretty sure people who got their order forgets to update the chart.

Just called Apple and got the "All I can see is the same thing you can see on the homepage" Ordered Nov 30.

The daily tracker, measures shippments and deliveries from 28 December until 31 january, is not estactic so you can choose the zoom you want by day, week, month etc. Its also automated so, when someone puts new information on the spreadsheet it picks straight away.

The Live History, its also Automated all information as being typed in the spreadsheet would be picked by the chart, but works by day, same lenght 28 Dec until 31 Jan, hope we've got our machines by then

I still need to do some work on the Live History to make it proporcional intead of weight, but I'm running out of time and I have a small technical Issue with the way formulas work on google docs. I've asked some help but didn't get nothing back.

When we got midle of Jan I will populate delivery times by the average waiting time we have and it should work like a charm.

How to know which flight is taking of with my imac?

 

[bonedaddio]

Well, my iMac is now at Newark Airport.

Still don't understand why my FedEx tracking still says delivery for Thursday. Makes no sense. It really should be Tuesday at the latest, but probably tomorrow.

And mine has been sitting at Middletown Airport (Harrisburg, PA) about 25 miles North of me, since 1:48 AM. You'd think we'd see them tomorrow, at least??!! It's ironic that it takes -2 hours to ship from China across the international dateline to Memphis, TN; then 2 days to go 25 miles??!! More than ironic... more like idiotic!! (why is there no icon for "belly-laughing-my-a**-off"?

I'm not sure if you can tell EXACTLY which flight it's on, but there's a flight that leaves around 11-11:30 local time that is direct to Memphis, TN. Someone posted this link: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX90 which may be helpful; not sure if you can tell if your iMac is on it until your order status updates to show it being received in Memphis. Still, I guessed, and was right, that my iMac was over the Pacific Friday evening... hope this helps.

[UPDATE] I posted (spoke too soon!] On vehicle for delivery!! Sweeet!!! Good luck, all!

My December 10th order shipped. Expected delivery date of January 10 by 4:30pm. My wife is so happy.

I do feel bad for those of you that are still waiting, especially those of you who ordered before we did. It drove me crazy and it isn't even my computer. I can only imagine how you folks feel.

My 12/8 order moved from preparing to ship to shipped this morning with an eta of 1/11.

Updated the spreadsheet also.

 

[falcon362]

Now mine is on the truck for delivery...and I'm at work....my wife is out of the house right now. Hopefully either she gets back before FedEx arrives or I can pick it up at the depot early this evening.

And... the scheduled delivery date still says Thursday!!

Understanding

For those who do not understand us no explanation is possible, for those who do none is necessary; keep calm and carry on.

I'm pretty sure there's no plane in the world that can go from China to TN in 2 hours. These are not updated in real time by the second you know.

Apple placed a hold on my $ today. It is only slightly concerning that I am excited about money coming out of my account versus into it

How long is it typically from Apple checking for funds to prepping for shipment?

 

[Panomania56]

Reckon I may qualify for being the holder of the longest-standing unfulfilled order! Placed 30 Nov, BTO 27" to the UK...

 

[lilface]

The amount of times I check this forum thread has become quite obsessive. At least there are a lot of us all in the same boat, waiting for these prized machines to finally arrive at our homes.

Stay strong all, we will all be amazingly happy with our purchases soon enough. (I hope lol)

Club January, unite!

 

[Panomania56]

Club January, unite!

Good grief... hope you're not suggesting by implication the possibility of a Club February...

 

[Sinalar]

Just noticed the Belgian applestore is now showing 3-4 weeks for shipping on the 27" imac. it no longer says 'January'.

No idea if that's a good sign for all of us who already ordered our new imacs!

Something is obviously wrong with your order. get an Apple supervisor involved to figure this out.

Not to be rude, but it would appear you don't understand how the International Dateline works, or are confusing actual elapsed flight time with departure/arrival times, which are always given as local times. Flying East to West produces such an effect. Technically, it was 6 minutes, not 2 hours. And yes, I'm aware that even the SR-71 Blackbird would take more than 2 hours actual elapsed flight time.
From FedEx:
Jan 5, 2013 10:22 PMArrived at FedEx locationMEMPHIS, TN
Jan 5, 2013 10:28 PMIn transitSHANGHAI CN
Jan 5, 2013 10:26 PMInternational shipment release - ImportSHANGHAI CN
Note times given are Local times.
For SR-71 fans, it's range was 2,900 miles, so in-air refueling would be required 2x over the Pacific; the max. speed of the SR-71 = 2,200+ mph; the Distance from Shanghai to Memphis is 7432.2 Miles; so about 4 hrs depending on cruising speed, winds, altitude, etc. Apple: why not buy up the remaining SR-71s and put them back into service delivering iMacs? Now THERE's a use for all that excess cash!!

Canceled my Dec 13 order for a 27' iMac. Anyone still waiting you move up 1!

was that a CC order or WHY

If it was a CC then give em hell you are way past the sell by date

if wire transfer or loan then when was the payment posted to your order

Still seems a long while tho mine is 8 12 2012 CC order

But again I think you hit the nail on the head UK order we pay more wait longer

 

[Juror55]

Processing :-(

Ordered mine on 7th of December and the status is still processing :-( Already can't wait (UK)

We are in the same boat - 8th Dec too! Notice some movement today though - 2 preparing, 10 shipped and just 6 of us on the 8th still processing of which 4 are in the UK! It is getting close!

 

[-Future-]

FINALLY moved to "Preparing for Shipment" status. Feels good, but now the wait continues...at least I'm not frozen at processing anymore....Progress!

Ordered Dec 7. Maxed out except ram...I'll update the sheet once I find it..
