I haven't got a clue where mine is. I think ignorance is bliss in this situation, I've actually managed to get some work done over the last few days
UPS really is rubbish. I checked this morning at 7am, and everything was on track to deliver today, so I took the day off work not to miss it, and then they changed things an hour later to a yellow 'rescheduled delivery'. I didn't think much of it, as the box was only an hour from my house, so I thought they'd make it. Here it is, end of day, no box, no update as to when it'll arrive, and out a day of work.
Buncha yahoos.

I can't say I've done a lot at all for the last however many weeks since ordering, just keep clicking refresh on various sites lol.
I'd imagine if mines in Germany now yours can't be far from Holland at all... then you can go back to refreshing
Well.....it's still in the US and back on schedule (2nd )! Friday!

Mines now in Germany.
Looking at that tracking info posted earlier it looks like it takes a good 20 hours to get from Germany to the UK though even though in the last 24 hours its done China, Korea, Kazakhstan, Poland, Germany
Mine too, yeah 20 hours
I could drive it here quicker 
Mine too, yeah 20 hours
I've driven it quicker on quite a few occasions #
Delivery date has changed to the 28th now... Means I probably won't actually get it until Monday the 1st as I won't be in for most of the day
----------
Thats really weird... mine hit Koeln at 22:46 too!
Yet went a completely different route... left China at 5:33 via Korea, Kazakhstan and Poland
Touchdown in Alaska!
My ram will be out of date when my mac finally gets here
----------

Lol! Mine went to Alaska too! This is creepy, ha. Not sure why it went to Alaska from Kentucky to only have to come back to Los Angeles. But oh well, hopefully Friday delivery sticks so I can pick it up from the Apple store over the weekend!
I gave up and cancelled my order from November 11. Bestbuy put the base model iMac Retina on sale for two days so I walked into the store and picked one up, saving about $1200 over the high end one ordered. I checked the screen immediately and it is very even, limited bleed and no yellow cast at all, no dead pixels and that was the most important reason to upgrade.
While I intended to use the iMac as my main Photoshop editing machine, it is not enough of a step up from the current Mac Pro 5.1, although about 50% faster. The 5k screen is not adequate for editing tasks so I'll wait for the Mac Pro update and get proper wide gamut 4k screens at that time.

Oh my giddy aunt! Got a ups tracking number now and it reckons my imac will be with me by the end of the day!
All this time I thought it was miles away and it is 15 miles down the blummin road!
Your RAM won't be outdated now!! Lol! I'm jealous! I feel like everyone is getting theirs but me!
I'm saving the party for when it actually arrives...
Yours will be soon, I've waited 5 weeks for mine!
Friday seriously can't come soon enough! Thos wait is killing me. My RAM and iMac are meeting up at some point and are being delivered the same day so that's super convenient! I won't have the RAM sitting on my desk taunting me.

Great news tatty27!!!!!!
I went to sleep with mine in Germany and an estimated delivery date of Friday (seems realistic based on the other persons route).
Well I've woken up and it's at the local depot with today's date as the delivery date # # # # #
