Another 12/22 order that finally went to preparing. They also charged my credit card (discover) sometime during the night. I hope it gets shipped within 24 hours like most of them do.

My card was charged yesterday morning and I am still in "processing" limbo. How long does it usually take after a card is charged before it shows "preparing for shipment"? I ordered on 12/27 from Apple store.

3.4GHz i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-4X8GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA 680MX
APPLE MAGIC MOUSE
 
My Jan 2nd order from the educational store (27" with the i5 and 1TB fusion, the GTX680 and 8GB RAM) is preparing for shipment as of this morning.

I am in MN.

thanks! it's been a long time coming..and a lot of being frustrated, infuriated, and a few phone calls to apple.

Same with me, I called customer service just to get some information because I was tired of hearing nothing about my order for almost 3 week. I was very calm to the man I spoke to on the phone and just simply asked if he had any information to give me about my order. He then told me what he could and offered the free super drive, and said that I had been one of the nicest people to call and ask about their iMac all day.

Being nice is the way to get what you want from customer service, yelling and screaming never does anyone good!
 
I ordered January 4th from the education store and the order status today is preparing for shipment ;-)

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB

Good luck!

If your iMac is on the UPS flight yours and mine are sharing the same aircraft. I still have not figured out which flight will bring to Ontario.

Can't wait to boot it up...😀
 
My baby has been delivered. To bad I am in another state. She will have to wait a few more days before we can be together.
 
Finally got my iMac today at 9:29am PST

Ordered Date Dec 25, 2012. (Actually Christmas Eve late night)
Stayed in Processing until Jan 15 morning.
Sometime later the same day Jan 15, it was set Preparing for Shipment and very soon changed to Shipped with Estimated Delivery on Jan 21.
From Shanghai, CH -> Narita, JP -> Anchorage, AK -> Oakland, CA to San Jose, CA. But made it early today on Jan 18.

Still processing, ordered Jan. 2nd. Looks like folks around my date are starting to get theirs shipped, but everyone's a maxed out i7/680. Just a base 27 here with 1TB Fusion...still waiting 🙁
