aghhh so jealous! no word yet on mine, ordered on jan 3
 
Ordered 27" 2012 iMAC. Said it would be here when hell freezes over. I know their backed up, but sheesh really? :rolleyes::D

Ok so it said February 20th to the 27th. That's pretty much 4 weeks, yeah? Coming to Hawaii it will probably take longer. Would be nice if shipping times decreased. Specs are in my siggy. Ya I know I jumped the gun.

Oh and I'll buy my own RAM on Amazon. Apple RAM is too expensive for my taste.
 
Clearly the two factors that slow down delivery times the most is getting non-standard specs, and of course the 27 size

Now I'm pissed. That is the same build that I'm waiting for from BH Photo and ordered 12/15

Calling them now!!!!!
Ugh. I'd be highly annoyed, in your situation. Any luck with BH Photo?

This is my second iMac, replacing a three-year-old Core 2 model. Watching LuxRender steaming away on eight threads, instead of limping along on two, makes me very happy. :)

So you mean your order day is Jan 26Th? What did your order say for expected time of Delivery?

----------

Ordered 15 January. Will arrive 29 January

You must be talking about the 21.5 model right?
 
Yes ordered today (26th January). It says estimated delivery 22nd February - 1st March.

I thought it was a 2-3 week delay for the 21.5 inch models while 3-4 weeks for the 27in models but it appears yours is scheduled for the 3-4 weeks or longer even which is interesting that it moved so far away so fast. Wonder if they are cutting down on production due to Chinese New Year going on in China?

It's 2-3 / 4-5 weeks for it to be dispatched. It's the delivery time that adds onto the overall estimate.
 
Man, do you guys think they'll speed up the shipping and production on the 27" anytime soon? I'm very excited, but disappointed at wait times. I ordered the one in my siggy.
