I ordered an Apple refurbished 3.5 i7 16GB 1TB PCIe SSD 27" iMac this morning. It should be here by next Monday.

I saw no major reason to buy a Retina iMac and a few reasons not to. ;)
 
Ordered November 19th, and today, December 5th it has updated to Preparing for Shipment.

Mine's a fully spec'd up model with i7, 32GB RAM, M295X, 1TB Flash Storage.

Did they charged you while your order was in a 'processing items' stage or just now? Mine is still on processing and I wasn't charged still.
 
Nov 14

I ordered mine on Nov. 14th, and it's due for delivery on 12/9.

i7
m295x
8GB RAM (will add more later)
3TB FD
Bluetooth keyboard/Apple mouse

My estimate was 12/10, which originally showed up in my tracking info, but then it changed to 12/9, which is good, because I'm off that day.

Hopefully it all goes without a hitch!
 
You ordered it with 32gb of RAM? You could have saved yourself $250+ by ordering it elsewhere.

Ordered nov 18th, shipped today UPS express saver, will be here in CLE Monday the 8th. I7, 295x, 512gbssd excited! Did not ship FedEx

My card was charged when it went to "preparing for shipment" then literally 1 hour later said item shipped.
 
Ok, now I'm starting to get a little excited... I've been waiting 2 weeks, so still within the 2 the 3 weeks Apple listed when I ordered.

Ordered on the 20th of Nov, i7, 8gb RAM, M295X, 1tb SSD, VESA. Based on shipping notices for orders on the 18th and 19th others are providing, should be any day now.

I think this weekend I'll work on adding the stand back on my older iMac and get ready to transfer material to my NAS.

Edit: Just checked and see a temporary auth for Apple for some part of the balance on the 4th.

Today my order status changed to Preparing for Dispatch, so hopefully it'll be shipped out soon!

Ordered it on Nov 15th - i7, 295X, 8GB RAM, 3TB FD

Going to buy 32GB RAM now to stick in for when it arrives :)


Just shipped now too!

Ordered my retina i7, 8GB, M295X, 1TB Flash on 29/11. Said delivery 23/12 to 3/1, so didn't have much hope of seeing it before xmas. Dispatched Monday 1/12 and was delivered today, 5/12.

Stunning.

Nice! Can't wait to get mine, shipped early too nice to see there shipping fast to everyone before the estimated dates
 
Was it expedited shipping? I ordered mine on 28/11 and its still in "processing"!

Sorry, but ordered 20/11 and still processing. I expect you'll continue to wait a bit. Surprised to see the same configuration systems ordered after me already delivered. Expedited shipping and EPP made no difference for me.

As for expedited shipping, doesn't effect processing time, just delivery speed. It's an option you should have seen (if available) during you order process.

I ordered in the store through an Apple Business rep. I don't recall him offering any different shipping. It was pretty clear to me that they do on' t have as many options for payment and maybe shipping when ordering through them. But, I did get a good discount.
 
Wait, there's an expedited shipping option?!?!

Yes, unless you added anything to the order (i.e. extra cable or super drive etc) in which case there isn't. However, when the last batch of orders were stalled (like mine, I waited 5 weeks) those who had expedited deliver received theirs more or less on the same day as those who didn't.
 
That feeling when you know your new toy is arriving some time today, and you're eagerly awaiting it landing on your doorstep - WHILE trying to actually do work.

It's a good day today. 5K iMac AND Destiny DLC for consoles!!

I didn't get any work done for 4 weeks waiting for it to arrive and for the last week since it arrived!
