Mine arrived this morning!!!!
I'm so excited. It's gorgeous.
I ordered it on the 17th. It wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow. Very happy with it
 
Mine was delivered today. Ahead of the date they gave me. Right now I'm using time machine to migrate my files. Trying to use my old iMac didn't work. So I hope this works
 
Mine's spent almost 3 days hanging out in China.

What's up with that?! Delivery to USA-NC is still 1/17. I'll be really impressed if FedEx can pull that off.
 
While I'm happy to admit I know nothing about logistics but I'm dumbfounded with the miles my iMac is racking up:

I realize they process things through a central hub, but is it really cost effective?

Tracking

This is the most messed up tracking I've ever seen. Why is the computer back in Alaska???

I have had this happen with Apple orders before. No need to worry it will display correctly soon. It is not back there. It was scanned for Kentucky before clearing customs most likely

Mine did the same thing, but it doesn't need to clear customs in the US as it's not staying in the US it's going to Canada.

Since I'm at home with the flu I'm really dying to get my hands on it.

It has also time traveled around. Seems like this Mac is having quite the adventure!

What does this mean its been saying this all day ...
 
47 days and counting

My 27" BTO iMac ordered on the 30th of November is still missing... I ordered through David Jones (an Australian department store) who's latest update from their Apple rep is that it will be delivered on the 23rd of January...

First they told me the 20th December, then the 10th of Jan, now the 23rd of Jan... Absolute disgrace - Especially considering I paid in full on the 30th of November.

When is the next iMac expected to be released?

Yep. FedEx now bumping me back a day to Fri. Thanks for over promising and under delivering. Nothing like tracking your delivery as it sits for days in the same place.
 
Order placed Dec 22 for a nearly ultimate iMac 27. (3TB Fusion, not pure SSD. Opted for third party RAM, but maxed out video, CPU, etc.) order is still showing as "processing".

Dear Apple. Please take my monies and send me a replacement for my 2.4Ghz C2D system. I'm a new signup here, but I've followed this thread for a while and I can't make any sense of when people are getting their purchases.

don't get your hopes up...there's someone else here with a similar spec and same order date that has no movement. this is sickening...
 
I've noticed that there are a lot of posts on this thread that show that its possible to track the iMac from basically Shanghai.

I'm in the UK, and when I go to track my order I have the following shown:

I just wondered how you managed to track the whereabouts of you iMac to show basically the start of its journey from Shanghai?

We have the exact same specs, and my December 21st order is still processing. Looks like you saved up some good Apple karma.
 
Right, quick question. Expeditors showed mine clearing customs yesterday and this morning is showing "Services Completed: Delivered" and "Delivered to consignee".

Does this mean that the machine is being merged in Leicestershire and I may get it tomorrow?
 
Yep, mine was pushed back to the 18th too.

It's a little upsetting, but not so much--what will be REALLY bad is if it gets pushed back to Monday. Still hasn't left China.
 
Yesterday it was Shanghai to Narita JP...now it is Narita JP to Incheon KR. WTH?!?

It's going to Nebraska!
