I ordered on the Oct. 30 with a estimated delivery of between today and Tuesday the 18th ... today the estimate has been changed to Nov. 26 - Dec. 1. I was told that the delay was because of parts that they could not get and that they would not charge me for the expedited shipping that I paid for (but when it does become available I will get expedited shipping). I understand that it is a popular product and that supply is low but when I order a product it should be that my name is on lets say #56273 iMac which will come off the line in x days and will be shipped on the estimated day that it is supposed to ship. Apple not being able to give proper shipping dates for a product that they produce is well, baffling. How could they make shipping dates more accurate?...Maybe they could make an App for that
.
I'm in the very same boat ... Order placed on the Oct 21, canceled and reordered by Apple without notifying me on 30th ... current delivery date: Nov 26-28! 5 weeks later!
For me this basically means: huge lack of planning! I could not be more disappointed with Apple, maybe an third-party app would help here indeed.
