Delivery Thread for 27" iMac December Orders

Thats what I thought but I have waited so long I figured to give them one more week for it to ship. If not then I will cancel and reorder from the Apple website.
I ordered my iMac on December 15, order status is still "processing."
My config is totally maxed out. I've been told that is biting me in the butt now.
I called today and talked to a real human being at Apple. Although the order status says that my unit will be available to ship in January, the customer service rep told me that because I didn't order a stock machine, I should be thinking more like mid February!
Anyone else heard this? I can't square it because I thought the catch up wave was coming late January, not mid February!

Checked this morning and still processing. Figured I was out of luck until at least Monday...but I checked again about five minutes ago and my 12/19 order is preparing for shipment. YAY!

Ordered 32GB from Crucial earlier this week and it's already on its way (used Retail Me Not's link so I could get the 5% off plus free shipping.) Now to see how long it takes to get here -- I'm in Massachusetts.

I ordered a maxed out iMac 9 DAYS after you on the 24th of Dec and it is going to arrive at my house on Wednesday the 16th, but will likely arrive a day earlier

You have another week at least, most likely! its comin! The BTO are the ones that are taking the longest as for wait.
Based on the spreadsheet, nothing shipped last Saturday, but a bunch shipped the Saturday before. Production runs 6 or 7 days a week, so we've seen spikes in Monday shipments which would include weekend production.
Like so many in the thread mine was processing and destined to be for a long time. I ordered on Dec 30 the $2599 spec. Called my Wellington, FL store this morning and they had 2 in stock. To make a long story short, now they have one.
Seems perfect except for some minor screen uniformity issues that ALL imacs are gonna have. Played the return game too many times to let it bother me.
i7 3.4, 8GB, 1TB Fusin, 680MX
SWEEEEEET! Call your stores folks. They are getting them in every couple of days. You have to call in the AM if you hope to get lucky.

Not in all cases
Mine is pretty standard
Dec 8 still PROCESSING

I thought maybe it was uk orders
Then looked at config
No problems with payment
God knows what's the deal
Just a big pile of frustration
Worsened by people ordering in Jan who have been hanging on "ages" already

This will be my first iMac as I had PCs for the last 20+ years. In fact my last brand new desktop was over 10 years ago. I bought a new laptop about 5 years ago. I'm a photographer that shoots raw and I want as much power as I can afford so that this one can outlast the PC. As for my decisions on RAM I'm disabled and sometimes trying something myself turns out to be far more expensive than letting someone else take care of it. In this case the price difference between 8 and 16 wasn't enough for me to worry about it. Had I felt it necessary to totally "max" it out then it's likely I would have considered having someone other than Apple do it for me.
I couldn't get a desk to fit in the space I have, so I've put a bigger desktop (made it out of a kitchen worktop) onto my present desk, so now I have all the space I need for my iMac.
Yeah, I figured as much - I just hoped that when apple gave the (oh-so-helpful) shipping guideline of "January", it wouldn't be January 31st... Oh well, I know there are still people waiting with much earlier order dates - I'll just keep trying to stop my current MBP from crashing...
Hi Kevin.
I am a psychologist who does a lot of testing. This involves a massive amount of storage, probably not as much as a photographer, but still, a lot of processing speed for data manipulation. Even though I keep the actual final reports on an external Pegasus HD, I still find that inevitably, my computer starts running slower and slower after a couple of years. By the end of it's 5 year life cycle, it is crawling. I have always assumed this is due to having nearly maxed out my storage capabilities, which always happens. So this time, I'm getting as much storage as possible with the hope that even if I don't use all that 3TB, that it will help keep my machine running faster and more smoothly. ......but again, I could be completely deluded :0))
I am no expert and just love iMacs, especially after having to use a PC at the clinic. I'm also an older woman who has always had to rely on her children for "tech support" (still do by phone when needed) and frankly took the easy way out in having the memory pre-installed just to be sure I was getting Apple quality and to make sure it was done right. Now that I have the machine, I can look at it and determine whether or not I have the confidence/ability to install memory in these new machines.
Finally Here!
Well, finally was able to get to the FedEx Facility at the Airport and pick up the new iMac. I couldn't wait until Monday for re-delivery
(spoiled or excited or both, I guess) Anyway I just unloaded it and shlepped it up the stairs and am excited about setting it up; Migrating; and then playing with this amazing new machine. Thanks to everyone here who provided all this information and this great community of fellow iMac enthusiasts.
