This is untrue. Although I was told by a rep my BTO was 'shipping from overseas', it came from Fremont and is labeled 'Assembled in the USA' which is why, when it did move from processing to preparing for shipment it all happened very fast.
Ordered the 15th from Los Angeles.
27"
i7
2TB Fusion
395x
Next-Day Shipping
Delivery date projected to be 21st-23rd.
Woke up this morning to see it had finally shipped– from China.
New delivery date of the 29th.
Called to have my Next-Day Shipping charge refunded (something I highly recommend).
Oh well.

Well, just one more day! I can only hope they deliver it before 1:30 tomorrow since I have to go to work. But if not, my neighbor will sign for it. Will be watching the clock till 9pm.
Wrong....
MOST BTOs are coming from California........also says USA on the back of the display.
Mine arrived yesterday and shipped from West coast on Tuesday.
Also, for the record, my delayed shipment is coming from Fremont, CA.
And are you ready for the kicker?
IT WAS PICKED UP AT 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. Shipment info was even sent almost 90 minutes before then.
This just proves that Support truly does not have up to date info. They are just reading off the order status page. ^_^
Hope to some... thought I'd share.

Getting some weird charges on my account from Apple ever since "preparing for shipping."
Amount 1 + Amount 2 = my 2 iMacs
Amount 3 seems to equal tax & shipping
But then there are two more amounts charged, one around $250, one around $70, and one for $0.
All of these charges are processing, so I assume the weird ones will vanish.

My status just changed to shipping to the store. The date has slipped from October 29th to October 30th. It surprises me that it'll take 8 days to get there, but it's only 8 days.
Hmm... Do any iMacs actually say assembled in China? Weird how they would say that if they didn't have some type of assembly factory over there. But whatever... I'm sure this forums combined knowledge trumps any rep any day lol.
The good news is that I finally changed from Processing Items to Shipping to Store. The bad news is that they bumped me one day from 10/28 to 10/29.
Seems odd that it takes a week to go from wherever to the store?

My ship to store date got bumped up to the 29th(from the 30th). From what I understand, store pickups are usually sent standard shipping.
Ordered two BTO's on the 17th, both just shipped. No tracking info available yet. Did not get magic trackpads, only got 8gb of ram.
I received my BTO today from Fremont, Ca, which is 43 miles from where I live. Delivery missed the expected delivery date by one day. Setting it up was super easy with Migration Assistant. Good luck to all who ordered a new iMac. This is my first iMac, coming from a couple Mac Pros years ago and then a couple 15" Macbook Pros.
I originally ordered the day the new iMac was announced, but ended up canceling and reordering (and spending more money) on 10/19. My new order just went to preparing for shipment with a delivery window of 10/23 - 10/27 (with next day shipping). It's obviously not going to make it today on the 23rd, but it looks like 10/26 is probable.
I assume they don't deliver on Saturday even with next day shipping, right?
FedEx says they treat Saturday residential deliveries as a standard delivery day. I know because I Googled "Does FedEx deliver on Saturdays?" It's the first thing that popped up.
Now I'd have to assume that with the purchase of Next Day delivery that this falls within the guidelines of a Saturday delivery.
P.S. - Your story is very similar to mine. Except the rep cancelled mine by mistake so I had to do a re-order on the 20th. Same delivery Window as you though so here's hoping for Saturday!!!
Only 24 hours after "preparing for shipment" it's out for delivery. I paid some extra bucks for Express Shipment but didn't know it would go this fast. I live in Belgium and the order was dispatched from Cork, Ireland.
