iMac Delivered

Waiting Lists

I put my name on a *relatively* local Apple retail store (not Apple-
Apple store, just a dealer) waiting list... and having it shipping out of state. There's 30 people on the list so far and they're suppossed to get 46 in by February 25th... I'm #31, and I placed my order today.

I think some stores (including store.apple.com) having longer waiting lists than others.
 
any idea on how many apple has sold thus far, the 150,000 in the first 3 weeks was a couple of weeks ago........
 
ordered on 1/10 - shipped 2/5

someone was asking if anyone who ordered later than the 8th had recieved shipping confirmation. i ordered mine late on the night of the 9th and the web store showed the order as being placed the 10th....just when i thought i couldn't take the wait anymore.....it shipped on tuesday. woo hoo.

be patient folks - they'll ship - they'll ship!

stuck at anchorage

i have a client whose imac is stuck in anchorage ak, enroute to california and the mail tracking service claims that there is an official reason for the delay...perhaps security due to 9-11

it is frustrating since he ordered the machine the day after it was announced at mwsf

i did finally see one at an apple store in person the the machine is better than expected and almost gave me that same feel as when i first saw the all in one imac in 1998...but nothing will match that machine's impact except for the the original mac or apple IIe

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.

My "official" order date from the Apple Store is also the 11th. I contacted them earlier this week to ask about the progress. The guy I got ahold of must of been relatively senior, just because he had a lot of insight into what is going on. He mentioned that mine is in the "que" to be shipped no latter than Feb 28th... And since mine is being produced in TW, that it'll take about 3 days to get to me. Expect it no latter than March 3rd he said...

If anybody has gotten theirs and ordered late in the first week, like Jan 10th or 11th, please let us all know.

Thanks in advance...

Got It!!

I ordered on Jan. 11... and, it just arrived today (February 8)!! Exactly 4 weeks later -- they were estimating 2 - 4 weeks, and they just made it. Typical of Apple to deliver on the tail end of their estimate.

I'm so excited, I'm shaking! It is simply beautiful...
 
Great!

Glad some people who ordered late in the first week are starting to receive them. The guy I talked to today was hoping that mine would ship next week, but told me to plan on 10 days at the most.... If people are getting theirs, mine may just make it next week.

I posted this already on another thread, but there has been a slow down on production, no idea why, another poster mentioned a possible shortage of LCD's.

Keep the news comming!!!
 
the eagle has landed

She is a fast machine
I've kept her motor clean
she is the best Damn computer I've ever seen
Mac, you shook me all night long....

ordered within the first few hours on the 7th of January
just came today. Two days in Tiawan one day in Ankorage
Here this morning

It is like being a virgin.
All you can think about is the first time... until it comes
then all you think about is what will be my next trick

bring it on Apple
 
I ordered on the 18th... called Apple yesterday just to check, since Friday marked 3 weeks... the customer service rep pulled up my record and said there was no reason to think it would be any longer than the predicted 3-5 weeks.
 
iMac Shipped today!

The retail store I ordered from (Illinois, on Feb 8) called today and are shipping my new iMac today. It is scheduled to arrive (in Tennessee) via UPS on Wednesday!! I can't wait!
 
it Shipped!

I have been reading and posting a lot to this thread, and sure enough, Mine shipped today too!!!!

I can't wait! I am guessing mine will arrive on Thursday, according to FedEx, it is at the airport in Taiwan, but missed to pickup time. So it won't head to Alaska until tomorrow. I can wait that long, it is on its way!!!!
 
I'm getting very depressed.

Since I'm a college teaching type I ordered mine through the college Apple store. The order went in on the 10th and to my knowledge it has not shipped yet.

I try not to pester the manager more than once a week to check on it, but I still think I'm driving him nuts.

Has anyone ordering "academic" recieved their baby yet?
 
Here is what I am going to do...

I am just going to wait till late fall or early winter to get one. First off I have to get my new iBook paid for first and then when I do buy a new iMac, they will be in stock at my Apple dealer and I will be able to walk out with it the day of purchase. There is NO WAY I could last as long as you guys could with something on order...do you know how painful ordering something is and then having to wait and wait for it?? I CAN'T DO IT!hehe By then the machine should have a few upgrades as well so that is why I am just going to get by with what I have for the next 9-12 mos. Hey I bet you guys are going to love your new iMacs...anyone posting on here with one?

Now I am really depressed. Mine isn't going to ship for ANOTHER 2 weeks.

Anyone hear if the new G4s are shipping yet?
 
academic imac

yes I ordered mine on 1/7/02 from apple acedemic store and received shipment on 2/8/02
 
posting from my new imac!

i'm in love! this little machine is so cool - i'm doing the most amazing things - it really helps you to get excited about digitial video, music, pictures if you've found yourself burned out lately on all the toys.

So here's a couple of places that you can see pics....


Here's a review of the desk I use with the iMac

As I've mentioned previously, I ordered mine on Jan 11th. It was received by FedEx in TW on Feb 11th and actually left the country on Feb 13th (FedEx said it had something to do with a national holiday). From TW the package went to Anchorage, where it stayed another 3 days waiting on customs. Anchorage to Memphis, Memphis to Phoenix, and now, the package is less than 20 miles away on the ramp at Phoenix Sky Harbor... Called FedEx to see if I could pick it up tomorrow, given all the delays. I must of gotten a hold of "Mr Bureaucrat" because all he could do was recite the FedEx policy that supposedly doesn't allow me to pick up the package from the FedEx facility (3 times). To top it off, according to "Mr Bureaucrat" my package will not be delivered until Tuesday... So much for paying extra to get overnight shipping...

At least my iMac is in the same time zone...

They started shipping the day they were announced.. CompUSA here in Indianapolis has had them for almost two weeks, and they still haven't got any iMacs (other than the display machine) Of course, if you add the GeForce 4Ti then it will still be another month or two. (My bet is more like 2 months to 10 weeks)
 
Mine shipped today

Mine left Taiwan today (ordered one week after Macworld on the 14th). We'll see how that regulatory bottleneck in Alaska affects things.

Good luck in getting yours.
