Have any of you been charged yet on your new iMac order?

My credit card got charged yesterday. And I thought they only do that she it ships. I'm still showing a timeframe between oct 5-9 though.

I have not been charged yet. I think they charge when they are ready to ship / send it to customer address.

I just checked and yes, I've been charged as well. I haven't received an email update or anything regarding my order though.

Weird, I hope that means its shipping!

I haven't been charged. Mine shows ship date of 8 - 11 though. I'm in Canada. Does that usually hold up, or can you get them a bit earlier?

It is solely dependent on your particular CC carrier. Very likely, they've (Apple) placed a full purchase charge against your card in order to verify that the funds are available. This will transform into a $1 placeholder (in the "Pending" section of your status) until your order ships.

My late 2012 iMac was delivered on Thursday 12/13/2012; Apple did not post their charge against my card until the following Tuesday.

YMMV

Interesting info in this thread.

I ordered a 27 BTO about 26 hours ago (along with some other items at the same time). I've had an authorisation request for the funds approved, but nothing taken from my account. I'm being quoted a delivery date of 30th September to 2nd October too (UK delivery with UPS).

My other items (Ext Harddrive, Applecare & Parallels 9 shipped today for delivery tomorrow).
