FedEx delivered mine this morning. Mine was on the plane that got held up by the FDA in Alaska for a day before it got to customs. Anyway, I suppose anyone else that had iMacs on that plane will get them today, as well. (Ordered on 1/7)
Last Tuesday. January 29, and the following day, I posted a few messages detailing my misadventures trying to get Apple to make good on shipping the 800 Mhz iMac I ordered at 2 p.m. EST on January 7. Although I've talked to supervisors at Apple nearly daily since the 30th, I've gotten no real information other than this morning: "Your Mac is packed and labeled and just waiting for Fedex pick-up, which should happen in 24-48 hours. There was some sort of difficulty, but we don't know what it was." Status is unchanged on OrderStatus, however.
Anyway, Apple did not meet its pledge that it would ship my iMac within 2-4 weeks. I really felt lousy this past weekend looking at pictures of folks' packing materials and new iMacs, knowing that they had ordered their Macs well after I did. Apple is unfair, but what else is new?

**** happens.
American slang, see also:
"Life is what happens while you are doing other things."
"You can't always get what you want....but if you try, sometimes.......you get what you need."
Basically: Do something else with your time. Yer thinking too much about "what if it doesn't get here?" and not enough about the rest of your life. Whatever you're ignoring while dealing with being frustrated with Apple probably needs your input. I garentee the iMac will be at your doorstep the minute you stop fussing over it.

iSub and iMac
Please answer the post above!
"Can anyone confirm that the iMac G4/Pro Speakers should work with the iSub?"
Thanks
I went to CompUSA yesterday and they had a G4 iMac set up (the only one they had) and it had the iSub hooked up to it. Sounds great! Actually that's what I noticed about it first, the incredible audio. That is until I saw the iSub and it still sounded great but atleast it explained it.

Re: Imac Ordered on 1/7 and still not shipped!
I got the SAME message from them on Friday... I ordered mine on the 10th.

I am quoting someone else who contacted FedEx and that was their explanation. Personally, I don't think the holdup had anything whatsoever to do with the computers. Remember that the plane came from Japan and obviously had to have other things besides computers on it. So the FDA holdup before customs could have been for some other reason entirely. The first plane carrying iMacs that left Taiwan did not stop in Japan, and spent a very short time in Alaska. The computers from that flight arrived last Friday.
held up by the FDA
All LASER products are regulated by the FDA
the FDA has the right and the responsibility to inspect LASER conatining products such as the superdrive

Re: held up by the FDA
That may be, but the Superdrive is not an unknown product, and the first plane through there with iMacs on it didn't spend much time at all in Alaska. I would have expected a "hold" on the first machines, not a later group. Also, by the point that the production models were coming out of Taiwan, there were already iMacs in the Apple Stores and in some other resellers.

FDA
I am sure the FDA randomly inspects lots and it is likely that some of the iMacs are being held as a routine.
This still does not explain why my iMac has not been listed as shipped when I was a very early orderer though

Re: FDA
I have to say that my good feelings about having already received my iMac are lessened by situations like yours, and you are obviously not alone in this. I can't figure any explanation at all for shipments to happen out of order or not at all.

I know a lot of people are waiting for their new iMac (I am as well). But lets all try to be patient.... Remember, we all ordered the worlds greatest computer, it is a new model, and they received 150,000 orders in the first three weeks.
I ordered mine on the 11th, and I do check status about twice a day. I can't wait to get it, but if it takes them another week or so to get it to me, I think I will live. Sure, they may be doing batches of "like" machines, so some people may get theirs out of order, but I am sure we will all have our machines soon. If people are receiving them, the list is growing shorter.

He's right
The user islygon is right. Patience is a virtue. I ordered mine on the 13th and have not received it. To keep myself busy I read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings series.
Once I get my Mac I doubt I will read anything. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!

Think about it....
If you worked for the FDA and a plane full of the new iMacs came through your location, wouldn't you be tempted to hold it up and open a few boxes?
Hell, I might even have to take one home overnight.

Got Mine!!
I ordered mine on 1-7 in the evening (about 10p.m. Central Time).
It shipped on 2-5 and it arrived today (2-7) at 11:28 a.m.
From my experience with the iPod, AirPort2, and now the new iMac; all of them were "delayed" by customs in Alaska.
But I still have a hard time to believe that I got it in 2 days!!!
Unbelievable!
I haven't openned the box yet and no I'm not crazy for waiting... I'm at work and haven't had a chance to mess with it.
I hope that it doesn't have the Logo defect...🙁

2 Days??!!
Are you kidding? Mine left Taiwan (finally) four days ago, and it (as far as I can tell) is STILL in Alaska, while Customs Agents sit there and play with it, I guess!
Man, the gods must be smiling on you!

At least yours has shipped and is in Alaska... Mine still has not shipped!
I keep hoping....
Anybody else receive a shipping notice that ordered on the 9th or after? (I have seen a few posts from the 8th.) I am trying to keep track as I ordered mine on the 11th.
