Still processing, Orderd i7 1tb fusion and 680 to Amsterdam on the 30th. status did change from dec 27 to january.
If your status don't change before Xmas don't expect to get in 2012, most people don't work between Xmas and nye. And if you have just January in your status expect February as a delivery date.

Apple hasn't delivered later than a promised date, yet, so January means January or sooner if some get lucky. Apple corporate may be closed til New Years, but their retail is open other than two holidays and I'm pretty sure the Chinese workers aren't getting a holiday break.

Apple has likely been ramping up production faster each week and it's likely there were many more orders per day the first day or two. I see no reason to expect recent orders to take more than 3 weeks to ship, though I'm glad I'm not in a hurry to see mine arrive.

Yes, Apple has missed promised shipment and delivery dates and yes they are taking longer than 3 weeks to ship.
 
This thread makes me sad. I ordered on December 10th because I was waiting for my Christmas bonus. I fear I am going to be waiting for a loonnnnnnggggg time before it shows up.

What was your original delivery window? I haven't seen any window that had the 24th or earlier as the last date. Most of the earliest delivery windows I have seen have been Dec. 20-27 or Dec. 21-28 (which is what I had). So my iMac would have been considered on time if it arrived anywhere between December 21 and 28. Does anyone here have a delivery window of Dec. ??-24?
 
Good morning. Glad to hear there is movement!
I'm still processing though. "Shipping within 3-4 weeks" is getting close with christmas coming up. Friday week 5 starts...
 
Merry Xmas - preparing for shipment

No XMAS present about shipping... Still processing :rolleyes:

Order Nov 30th, just checked today (Xmas Day - Merry Xmas everyone) and I have an overnight change for my max spec 27" (except RAM), from Processing Items to Preparing for shipment - still with delivery Dec 30th to Jan 7th...

Good luck everyone else.

Mine was sent Monday, says still stuck in Shanghai, however if I go to TNT (Courier) "Australian" page and add shipping number it is in Sydney and still on time. So check if you are on your country courier web site.Mine was on TNT UK site:eek:

I just click the button thats on my order page and it redirects me to DHL korea. And it is coming to Korea so I guess what appears is correct. Still in Shanghai so fat. Well Korea is only a 45min flight away and yesterday was christmas so I guess it is not a big.deal so far..
 
Ordered on 30th November 2012

22 days, 6 hours and 14 minutes - processing

23 hours preparing to ship

Now showing as shipped, but 3 hours in and no itinerary or flight details

Original Delivery forecast was 2nd - 8th January 2013, now delivery is forecast on or before 4th January 2013.

Just received UPS notification it's out for delivery on Monday. Original estimate was 3-4 weeks and its exactly 4 weeks and 3 days from ordering to delivery. :)
