iMac shipping status?

Longest delivery time ever?

I ordered a BTO iMac 24 inch, 2,8gHz, 1TB, on 13th of august through a reseller. No sign of it yet. Who can beat that?
 
I got my Mini today at noon. 😀

I'm a first time Mac user so I'm still confused about a few things but it's going well so far.
 
It seems like Apple is giving their resellers a very hard time when it comes to the 24" 2.GHz model. I ordered one in the last week of August, near the end of September I still didn't receive it, I then checked with the reseller and they stated that they couldn't deliver untill -at least- the end of October. I canceled my order and ordered from Apple.com. Received it 10 days later (yesterday).

Still waiting on mine, was ordered back on the 13th of September and the sales assistant told me to expect it in 3-5 days, were now going to be looking at a month of waiting, the worst part is its only a stock iMac that I could have picked up from somewhere like PcWorld or John Lewis, I guess the waiting time is to make up for the £££’s I saved with student discount,
 
According to the TNT tracking service my iMac is currently in Eindhoven. Hopefully it should be here any day now, Monday I hope. 🙂
 
Yet another grump, question and some good news...

As much as I am glad to have found this forum today it depresses me to hear that Apple will most certainly make my wait for my first Mac one of an epic lenght.

I ordered my iMac 24" 2.4Ghz (320HD) and iPod Claassic on 5th of October. It shipped on 12th and today is 17th and I have been told by Apple that the iPod is in UK but that the iMac is in Czech Republic.

Has anyone gone though that step and if so how long do you estimate before I get UPS knocking on my door? 😕

To finish off on a positive note - I have asked Apple whether I am due a free upgrade to Leopard and they said YES but that it could have also been installed on the machine already (they cannot tell). So all of us that ordered machines in October will only have to pay P&P for Leopard. Hurrah! 🙂

Cheers, IGN
 
Ordered my first mac today, along with an iPod Nano (for my uncle)! I've gone for a 2.8Ghz 24" iMac with 500GB HDD and 1GB RAM (so it's the 2.4Ghz model upgraded).

Expected Ship Date: 23rd October
Expected Del Date: 31st October - 1st November

Weird ship and delivery dates, at least relative to the order I put in last night rather late. Then again, I suppose it might have to do with your BTO iMac being a bit more BTO then mine, which is a regular 2.4GHz 24" with only the HDD upgraded to 500GB.

Expected Ship: Oct. 17 -19
Expected Delivery: Oct 19 - 25
 
Ship date
Jan 24, 2008
Estimated delivery
Jan 31, 2008
and its not customized isnt that a long wait time?
and for some reason under details it says

Next scheduled tracking update: Jan 27, 2008
does anyone know what this is?

I'm guessing Apple will update the tracking details on Jan 27th with a tracking number from the courier or something like that (although, Jan 27th is a Sunday)..hmmmm

Still think a week is a reasonable time.

Not sure to be honest. However, when I placed my most recent order(was only software), I received an invoice in my email on the day it was shipped. Have you had an invoice?

Therefore it should either be delivered today (Saturday) or Monday. It's VERY rare for couriers to deliver on a Sunday.

Let us know when you get it 🙂

That sucks big time. Did they offer any explanation?
 
I was surprised that FedEx does make home deliveries on Saturday. That comment about next update is from FedEx. I ordered my iMac on 18 Jan, it shipped on 21 Jan, and the FedEx tracker gave pretty good progress along the way. Estimated delivery was Today, 26 Jan--and sure enough it showed up about 9AM!
