No leh, I buy from Apple Online Store. But kena CNY all chinese workers in china gone home.
 
My 27" BTO ordered on 20th Feb has just crept forward a few days and is now saying 18th - 25th March.

I ordered on the 7th February, and I have exactly the same delivery date as you. I ordered:

27"
3.4GHz i7
1TB FD
16GB RAM
GeForce 680MX.

I am more than a little angry with Apple at the moment, the way in which they are fulfilling these orders sucks.

----------

My order is still processing but changed to est delivery 1-2 weeks... But also from 14th-27th of march to 20th-27th... Not to amused about it...

Pretty much the same happened to me, I'm in the UK and they changed my order delivery date from 13th-26th March to 18th-25th. I personally think that Apple are not taking care of their european customers.
 
Just tried Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm which was just released today on my new iMac.

Simply put, I am still scooping up the buckets of saliva that was drooling from my mouth while I was playing.

Nice... I will be doing the same when mine turns up - I'm proud that Blizzard supports Macs natively from the outset, unlike EA and other developers who usually make Mac users wait.

Hang in there Ben, I'm surprised it hasn't shipped though. Mine from Feb 4th arrived yesterday. It was scheduled to be delivered on Thursday 14/03 but after it shipped this date changed to 11/03.

Hope the same happens with yours.

Have to agree with you on this point, Its unfair how orders from the US are being fulfilled so much faster than the UK/Europe, I'm guessing its due to an assembly back log as mine was assembled in Ireland.

Thanks Dude.

The latest I got from Apple yesterday was that it should be dispatched this week, and that it would be coming from Shanghai by boat (seems different to all the other UK orders which have been fulfilled), luckily this week is busy for me so I'm hoping for a Monday 18th March morning delivery... :p

Hope you're enjoying the new machine.

Ben.
 
Ordered 27" iMac in the signature below on February 28th. As of March 12, the status went from "Processing" to "Preparing for Shipment". Estimated date of arrival is March 18 - 20th.
 
Ordered from Apple Store online on 18th Februrary, I live in Sydney, Australia.

Order status was on Processing Items until 9th of March when it changed to shipped. Current TNT tracking information:

11 Mar 2013 22:00:35 Pudong International Airport Shipment In Transit.
10 Mar 2013 15:47:42 Pudong International Airport Shipment Received At Tnt Location
10 Mar 2013 15:41:00 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.
10 Mar 2013 15:33:27 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.
10 Mar 2013 15:04:15 Shanghai Shipment Collected From Customer

Has been stuck on that for two days, however I just spoke to TNT and they said it arrived in Sydney at 7:28am this morning and is going through customs. The customer service agent suggested I call back after 4pm to check if it has made it through customs.

Estimated delivery is by 5pm tomorrow 14th March.

Here's hoping!

Configuration:
27-inch iMac
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
APPLE MAGIC MOUSE
Apple WL Kybd+User's Guide-X
COUNTRY KIT-X
 
Mine transit at Hong Kong airport before coming to Singapore. The flights are fast, so if there are any delays, it's usually customs.

FedEx just delivered the iMac today! Took about 13 days from when the order was placed to the moment it arrived at my door step. The delivery times are definitely improving :)
 
Yaaaaah! Status displayed now says "Shipped on March 6, 2013". The Fedex website shows that the IMac shipment originated from Freemont, CA, and its delivery date is showing as 3/13/2013.

However, the FedEx tracking page is reporting the following:
"IMPORTANT! A winter storm is causing disruptions and delays in IL, IN, MD, MI, OH, PA, VA and WV". Indeed, there was a winter storm on the east coast yesterday, so that's understandable.

In conclusion, no doubt that there's been an uptick in shipping times of the product. A question though: Does anyone know what shipping location maps to the area with the biggest reported number of iMac issues, as seen in this forum?
Yaaaaaaah! Just got an e-mail from Fedex saying my baby was delivered and signed for at 4:23pm this afternoon. Will be leaving work in a few minutes to go test-drive "Me-Precious"!!

The box looks nice and intact. Some minor rumpling of the packaging box.

Grats man :) I'm in Sydney also :)

Looking forward to your reports :)
 
It's good to see that a lot of you are receiving your iMacs at the moment. I'm not having as much luck as some of you. I ordered my 3.4GHz/8GB/680MX on February 18 and it's still processing, despite the fact that here in Germany, for the past few weeks, it's said on the Apple Store that the exact build is 1-2 weeks. I called again this morning and asked what's going on. She said it doesn't sound right and that she'll get back to me. I'll update.

For the people with their new iMacs, enjoy! For everyone still waiting, hang in there! :)
