My order placed January 25th just went to Preparing for Shipment two hours ago. Oh, and spreadsheet updated.

Update: About two minutes after I posted this, my status changed to shipped!

Congrats. Mine is still at Shanghai Airport - shipped 13-Feb but didn't really go anywhere until late last night. My shipping date has also slipped from 19th to the 20th.

Hopefully yours will ship quickly

Wow my order was placed on January 30th. So my day is closer now. :)
 
You know something that's a little odd....my tracking number states the origin from Fremont, California instead of China. I remember reading some 21.5" models having their final assembly done in California, perhaps that's the case with some 27" models.
 
And mine changed....for the worse. It was to be delivered February 23 to March 2. Now it's February 25 to March 4 :(

I called Apple with a few questions. Although I didn't ask for it, they upgraded the shipping. My iMac (ordered January 28) now delivers February 22 to March 1.
 
Mine is meant to arrive between 20th Feb - 27th Feb and its still processing! :mad:

Seems like it is cutting the line quite finely, especially since it's only shipping via standard shipping. Ordered on 26th Jan.
 
It looks like many have shipped out this morning according to the spreadsheet, including mine.
Just wondering large farva, did your iMac arrive in good condition with no problems...
thanks

Mine arrived without a single issue. Not a single scratch, no screen scratches, nothing. Some people have been getting worried because they can hear a little noise coming from their iMacs, but I don't think it's an issue. Mine is mostly silent, but when I get into video heavy stuff such as gameplay while running Quicktime to screen record, the fan kicks in a little and you can somewhat hear it in a quiet room, but it's barely noticeable. So my iMac isn't 100% silent, as no computer is. Well, I'm not exactly 100% sure on that one, as I'm not familiar with every computer on the market. But every computer I've had (PC and Macs) has made SOME sort of noise, quiet or slightly louder at times, just the nature of moving parts.

Also, I remember someone saying boot up time was extremely slow with these new generation iMacs. Well, mine is pretty damn quick, and very quick compared to how fast my Mid-2011 booted up. I only have the 1TB 7200rpm HDD, I don't have the Fusion. I'll update with an exact time tomorrow morning when I start it up again. Also, going on a couple weeks and still not a single sign of image retention. How's everyone else's iMac's doing?

Shipped today :) Expected delivery is Thursday 21st February so will see how that goes. Tracking information hasn't been updated yet as only received the shipping notification an hour ago
 
I ordered my 27" i7 8mb of RAM, 675mx on Jan. 29. Checked today and it says preparing for shipment. I can now get excited. :D

Looking at the tracking spreadsheet today, seems like orders from the 26th to 30th are moving, a bit mixed up because my 29th order is still processing but i am hoping for an update soon :D
 
Not sure if I mentioned this, but my ETA changed from 11-22 Mar to 8-21 Mar last week.

Ordered on 30 Jan.


The upside of this is that my PS3 is getting a lot of extra love during these dire computer-less times.

Now it says: "There are no orders associated with this account that were placed in the past 90 days."..... ?

Never mind, it's back again ;)

Ordered mine on 30 Nov through premium reseller. No movement at all.
Maybe better cancel it and wait for the pro.
