Cant wait till next week.

Exactly the same.

Why are they still in Shanghai.. or have they left Shanghai, but just haven't arrived anywhere yet?

Balls.

[oclor]

Damn this!!! It was supposed to be here today. I got the printer, the .mac, the ipod, and APP for ipod and imac but still no iMac. Even if they off-loaded it, don't they have more planes???

Go for it! I'm behind you 100%!🙂

This is getting silly. They should update the tracking status. They let us look at the status and then they don't tell us anything!😡

 

[naldoo]

Exactly the same.

Balls.

Apparently TNT update nothing until it arrives in Europe, which seems to take a couple of days, according to some posts earlier in this thread.
Should update tonight or tomorrow at the latest, I think !

Hope to see them next week.

Meh. Ok.

I want it Monday. 🙂 (at the latest 😉)

 

[ThatWasAwkward]

Well, my 17" iMac has just arrived. This is fantastic. There's one dead pixel, but it's barely noticeable. All in all I love it.

 

[oclor]

I called and they said that it won't get delivered untill monday because of the chinese new year. It will be here next friday next week "guaranteed". Bastards!

 

[Todd H]

I feel your pain. I watched mine go through China, Japan, Alaska, then here. The wait was unbearable. 🙁

Same damn thing as you and XIII and i guess a few others...
Get those iMacs on a damn airline ASAP...... Monday seems so far away.

 

[mac'n'cheese]

Looks like my iMac is making fast progress, what the chances of it making it to Portland, OR by tomorrow evening........10%?

I paid for express shipping, does anyone know if they deliver on Saturdays?

Just have to wait and see.......🙂

my imac say's exactly the same thing...must be on the same flight.

Why is it FedEx seems to be working in Shanghai but not UPS. See Harveytorriti's post #788 on previous page?😕

 

[Electro Funk]

Mee Too...

This is driving me nuttzzz... talked to Fedx a few times today and some lady finally told me my shiney new imac would be in a Tampa hub sometime tonight... she then stated that if i called apple and had a rep call them and request a saturday hold that i could pick it up tomorrow morning! yayyyy!

So then i call Apple and the guy i get happily calls CrapX for me to request the saturday hold @ the hub and what do they tell him? sorry sir... i dont think it will make it to hub until monday... 😕 😕 😕

what can blue do for you?

Forgot to mention... the guy at Apple actually told me that they have lost quite a few new machines in transit...😱

 

[mongoos150]

^^ Perfect...Mine is STILL in the *****ing PHILLIPINES. NOT happy.

New 17" MacIntel Arrived

Day 1,

Wow!!! Set up was alot easier than what I expected!
512Mb RAM but all the apps. seem to be running fine.
First thing I noticed was - this thing is QUIET!!!
Beautiful screen, no dead pixels.
So far, so good...

Way to go Apple!

Obviously I cursed myself. My iMac sat in Indianapolis for 14 freakin hours. So much for the $33 2 day shipping!!!😡 😡 😡 😡

Looks like Monday now.

Ups

Found the below FAQ at the UPS Website that was relevant to some of us:

I've been tracking my package, but it's not moving. Why?

Package movement information is captured each time a tracking label is scanned in the UPS delivery system. When your package is in transit, or over a weekend, tracking information may not be updated. Here are explanations for common scans you might see when tracking your package:


Billing Information Received: UPS has received the electronic transmission of package detail from the shipper. It does not necessarily mean that UPS has taken possession of the package.
Origin: The package has been received at the originating UPS location.
Departure: The package has left the originating location and is on its way toward the destination address.
Arrival: The package has arrived at an intermediate UPS facility or the destination facility closest to the delivery address.
Out for Delivery: The package has been placed in the final delivery vehicle.
Delivery: The package has been delivered. The date and time of delivery have been recorded.
Exception: If the package could not be delivered or was delayed, the reason has been noted.

🙄

 

[Jawbreaker]

Curious...
my iMac left Anchorage yesterday at 1:45pm... and there hasn't been an update on the tracking since. I certainly hope it's back on the ground somewhere. Today was day 3 so I guess Expedited Shipping was entirely not worth the expense.
