I'd cancel and go to an Apple store if you have one close to you. They had that exact configuration in the Flagship Apple store ready for carry-out.

FINALLY... preparing for shipment
And you ordered on the Jan 16th, Great for you, Megaoctane, yours shipped. You are so lucky. I ordered on 15th of Jan and still in processing. This is why Apple's shipping priority does not make sense to me. Why not finish all the others on the dates before moving on to the next date ordered. It is a bit frustrating to say the least.
Today is my 18th day and most orders are being shipped 18-21 days however Lucky Megaoctane got his movement on his order on the 17th day. Go Figure.
Go on Apple, Ship mine already... This wait is killing me.
I just noticed that my bank authorized a $30.00 preauthorization. The first time was over $2700 dollars then it dropped off, so I wonder if that is a sign mine is going to be shipped soon. I would have thought that they would have just charged the whole thing then prepare to ship. Why authorize only $30?
But I hope this is the next step so they can finally ship mine today.

I don't know. All I know is that the button is available to click, but when I click it, it says that my shipment isn't eligible for that option. Usually whenever I have a FedEx shipment, I can't place the Hold For Pickup request any time. I think usually the reason for this in my situation is because it's going to be put on a truck for delivery from the Cocoa, FL facility, rather than the one a mile away from me here in Melbourne, FL on Dow Rd. I actually can't go into the FedEx location to request that they hold it personally for a couple reasons. First, I don't know if it's going to that specific location, Second, the last time I went in personally to try to make the request, they told me just to do it online. So I don't know if they'd be willing to help me out.

I wish the tracking information wasn't entered so crazy like. I can never pin down exactly what time my iMac was at a certain location, because FedEx doesn't put the time zone next to the time, and whenever I use the drop down menu for either "Origin, Destination or Local Scan Time" or even if I select "Other - Eastern Standard Time", it all just doesn't make sense. Because, well, it gives me scan times like 02/02/2013: 2:20pm-International Shipment Release Import ; 3:28pm-In Transit..... I mean, I'm safe to say that NOW, my iMac is on a plane, or it went onto a plane whenever this updated. But, I really can't make sense of this all. Usually I have no trouble following USPS along with HK Post and such...
EDIT: I think that FedEx's scan times for the Destination are actually my scan times, but they are delayed a day because of the international date line. Maybe FedEx's system for converting the scan time they receive to your time doesn't take that in account, therefor it thinks it's a day later. I don't know really.... LOL - I'm thinking possibly my iMac could be on the plane right now that is in transit from Narita Int'l in Japan, to Anchorage. Because that is the only flight to Anchorage from that airport, and from what I've seen, the Standard Shipping ones stop at this airport in Japan before heading to Anchorage. It really would make sense, because today FedEx wil update stating that it's in Anchorage.

My iMac is probably not as highly configured as yours. Maybe that might be the reason? I ordered the base 27" with 1 TB Fusion Drive, and yours is a high end with 3TB Fusion drive?
That very well could be it indeed. But actually I did order the 3TB HD but with NO FUSION. I did not want the fusion with all the trouble some people are having with it when reformatting at time. Wonder if that sets me apart from even more remotely chance of getting mine soon or not. Since I ordered a 3TB with no fusion which is not among the most common ordered I may have to wait even longer huh?
THAT would be weird. Maybe they are working with scandinavian orders right now? As languages/Country kits and electricity outlets are different from UK and the US?
I don't think anybody besides logistics at Foxconn and Apple know the truth...

I looked at the departure board for Shanghai Pudong. Look for a flight leaving at 11pm direct to Heathrow. The flight number is Y87487. Or it should be
Ill look too . The flight number sounds weird.
I'd love to prove my guess, but my computer has been sitting in Anchorage for two days now waiting for correct import paperwork.
And after a full 48 hours of sitting in Anchorage needing a proper commercial invoice my computer was finally cleared for importing into the US! I guess when I was choosing preinstalled software I checked the 'Top Secret Chinese Military Codes' option. I just hope that FedEx keeps the same flight schedule as last Saturday where there were three flights that left Anchorage to Memphis in the afternoon. If not, my computer doesn't leave until Monday morning.
i even ordered express shipping and paid an additional $30 which apparently at the moment does no good to me. However i did get a strange authorization of $30 only not the $2733.00 that i ordered from Apple. This authorization came on Feb 1st (yesterday) yet still no change in my status: Still Processing. . .

You know once I got thinking about this, it would seem to me that since i am not getting the Fusion Drive that it should be faster to put together therefore shipping ahead of the others. WRONG.... seems the case here. Maybe they have all these with Fusions already lined up and don't have one without the Fusion and that will take longer. Is that logical?
Thanks. I've looked and I can only see from 12:00am on Sunday onwards....guessing it's already left but I've no idea what the flight number is as that one doesn't work...
I'm baffled now...it's been updated....different initial destination

That actually makes more sense. As when I looked for the flight number all I was getting was lux air stuff. So the fact that its going to Lux first ties in
Although it doesn't tie in with the flight number, I've found this which looks like it could be the flight...due to leave at 11:55pm:
CV 6997 Has Not Yet Departed
Flight: (CV) Cargolux Airlines International 6997
Departure: (PVG) Shanghai Pudong International Airport
Arrival: (LUX) Luxembourg Airport
Duration: 840 minutes
Status: Flight has not departed.
Says it's due to arrive at 6:55am.....it's the only flight in from Shanghai...so makes it easy....
PVG Shanghai CV 6995 Cargolux Airlines International 6:55 AM Unknown
74Y
maybe its because its a cargo plane not a passenger one?
maybe look on an online flight tracker once its supposed to be airborne? They show all flights not just passenger ones.
And now I've found the original flight number but it's not in the air....but it ties in...

Received my iMac on Thursday Jan 31, well ahead of estimated Feb 5-12 delivery.
Up and running, all desired data and apps manually migrated and installed (wanted to minimize any possible corruption from my old iMac).
Flawless, all good. Couldn't be happier, machine seriously kicks A!
