According to the guy at Apple Customer Services some BTO orders are done in Ireland for the UK and the rest is picked up by China, its just the luck of the draw.
Got a tip for us?

We've ordered exactly the same! Ordered mine this lunchtime, mine says:
Delivery: 04 Oct, 2013 - 08 Oct, 2013 by Standard Shipping
Great! Mine arrived today and it works like a charm. Hope yours comes quickly, too (I ordered mine Wednesday and had express shipping)

I just love this non-glossy screen (after having my MBA hooked up to a 24" ACD in the past)
Mine was shipped a few hours ago.
I've ordered it on 25/9, had some issues with my creditcard limit. I went to the bank office on thursday to raise the creditcard limit. On Friday the warning about the limit was gone and the estimated delivery date was 7-9 October.
A few hours ago I got an email telling me the iMac was on its way and will be in my possession this Friday the 4th of october!

All you guys with your Macs already shipping! Mine is still "Processing" and due for delivery Oct. 8 - 11. The wait continues...
Mine just tracked at my local sorting hub so providing it gets to my local depot between now and 3am it should be with me tomorrow. Will check the screen and see what is what.
Cool. I should have mine tomorrow, up and running around 7pm if the people in the office at my building are there to let me get it out of the package room!
BTW, the original delivery estimate was Oct. 3-7. I received the shipment notification 6:58 p.m. yesterday, which was about the time the package left its Fremont origin (25 miles of freeway south of me) for the FedEx facility in Sacramento (60 miles of freeway northeast of me). If the iMac was assembled in China, it must have traveled during the "preparing for shipment stage" because "shipped" corresponds only to transit from Fremont.
Federal Express air shipments to California from China arrive at Oakland so that is where the origin would be on the FedEx tracking if the iMac was assembled in China.
iMac shipments originating at Fremont must therefore be from the iMac assembly plant located there.
My 2012 was a BTO (just the upper 21.5 with a Fusion Drive). The 2-3 day shipping from Fedex provided details from it's departure in China, time spent in customs in Memphis, and then finally making it to New Jersey.
Maybe the process is different now with what is coming in from China for a company like Apple?
Or maybe with an origin of San Jose CA, that mine is assembled in a plant around that area?
