i waited an hour or 2, I even put the heating on for it! RAM went in 24 hours later.- again it needs the extra, 8 is not enough.

I've been staring at the box for 45 minutes, hopefully it will be warmed up soon! Maybe I'll bust out the space heater...

Not a problem on the ram, I've got 32gb ready and waiting.
 
After a year or so with a fake mac, I finally sprung for a 27" 3.4 i7 with 1TB fusiondrive and 680MX.
I ordered it on january 20th and it just moved to preparing for shipment.

Original estimate for delivery was february 22-25, so it seems they are well ahead of schedule. :)

Btw, how do I change the colour on the spreadsheet?

Hi-light the line you want to change then choose the color from the pull down menu of the FILL COLOR option in the tool bar section.

Order date: 14th of Jan
Shipped: 1st of Feb
Live in Sweden
Didn't pay for express shipping.
Ordered a 3.2ghz i5, 8gb RAM, 1TB fusion, 680MX, also ordered parallels.
The preliminary delivery date is between 14feb-21feb.

UPS made a label today, so i guess they have merged/or will merge the imac and parallels soon since they were sent from different locations, and because of that I havent been able to track my order at all.

Based on what you answered above and it shipped out Feb as the first shipping day. i t will be close. Earliest it could arrive would be Friday but I am thinking more than likely by Wednesday next week. Sweden is a long ways away.
 
Mine seems to be doing a world tour too - Shanghai, Alaska, Kentucky, Philadelphia, France...I'm hoping it's London next, but in fairness I wouldn't be all that surprised if Narnia was its next stop.

Nope...in Germany now.
 
DOH, I ordered mine on Jan 19, and still nothing...the only difference between our orders is that I opted for the standard 1TB drive (non-fusion). My estimate for delivery is still Feb 19-26.

I called and they said different configs come from different production lines so that is why I still have not received the Preparing For Shipment email... but it is a first in-first out system... They offered free upgraded shipping, but no superdrive...

No cuts, no butts, no coconuts.

Seems like a lot of the i7 are being built as well, or maybe there's just a high proportion of ppl ordering the i7 on this forum so the results are skewed. I ordered my 27" January 18 and still nothing :( I'm in Australia too which may have something to do with it

Mine is in liege Europe hub now. Didn't get anything from apple either. They said that it was within the promised time frame, so they hadn't broken their part of the deal. No free SuperDrive or express shipping.
It seems like it is mostly US customers getting free stuff. I spoke with my normal voice, maybe I should have shouted and cussed:)
 
I ordered on 1/15, it'll be here Monday!

3.4 i7, 8GB, 1TB, 675MX, Trackpad, Numeric Keyboard

2x16 GB Crucial RAM on stand-by

Here's a desk I'm building for it; I hope I'll have time to get the polyurethane on!

Nice desk BTW ;)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH :cool:

ordered Jan 10th, base 27" with 1tb fusion BTO.

Arriving one day before schedule (hopefully!)
 
Mine arrived Oslo this morning. Will probably go out fit delivery tomorrow. Estimated date was 11th February, and was pushed to 12th on Tuesday. So anything can happen:)

Whoaaaaa Neddy

Good luck with all your orders.

I made the mistake of supporting an Apple specialist reseller here in Melbourne and ordered a BTO 27 on 21st DECEMBER 2012.

They are telling me that I can expect delivery in MARCH 2013, but they are a bit vague about it and have made NO ENQUIRIES to Apple about delivery dates. No follow-up, just sit back and take the orders.

Clearly Apple are giving their own stores priority for deliveries, and couldn't care less about the survival of their dealers.

I will never make this mistake again. I may never buy Apple again, but if I do this dealer will lose a long-term customer... I will not return.

First Mac: 128k original.
Last Mac: BTO iMac... if it ever arrives.

Bunch of slack bastards.

Update: Some serious complaining and muttered threats of cancellation finally stirred some action. I found a helpful dealer staff member who made some 'phone calls and got back to me within the hour! (I'll get back to you... [yeah, yeah, yeah - heard that before] ) Within the hour! Crikey. Strewth. Corblimey. Gadzooks.

Turns out that my BTO was in Sydney and "could arrive some time early next week"... five hours later and I was able to collect it from the dealer in Melbourne. Someone, somewhere, got off their butts and remembered that old myth 'customer service'. Not to be too churlish about it, I am delighted that it finally came through.

Never underestimate the power of a good whinge.

I feel a bit sorry for the Mac specialist dealers. They are being shafted by Apple with Mac Store orders being given priority and the dealers having to wait without order deliveries or stock. This dealer didn't even have a 27 on display.

Nice looking box; I'll install the iMac tomorrow, and hopefully the long wait will be over. :)

The UPS-tracking has updated. It says planned delivery at Friday, 08.02.2013, Before the end of the day. So hopefully I will get it tomorrow.

Last activity was: Herne-Boernig, Germany 07.02.2013 5:20
 
I'm hoping my iMac will prepare to ship today since I ordered on Jan. 21! Anyone know what time it was (in China) when their order prepared to ship? Right now at 8:43 am (Eastern) it is 9:43 pm in China :(
 
Its in the country at least..MexicoCity to Guadalajara to go.
