Your time is coming! I'm in the uk and ordered 2nd dec, moved to processing on the 6th and changed to preparing and shipped in one day on 2nd jan. it's due here on the 10th with original estimate 4-11th jan. you should see movement this week hopefully.
hopefully i should see movement, it feels like ive been waiting for months, my 2009 macbook is on its last leg.

Sounds like it should share the same bullet as my sickly old dell laptop. I know the feeling, it gets even worse once its been shipped some how. You know it's been made and is on its way but the waiting is unbearable. Once it's shipped you'll get an email from apple with a reference number starting 82....
Stick that into http://www.expeditors.com/ and you can track it all the way to the uk from Shanghai with flight number etc. I'm in limbo now that they've delivered it to the courier, I don't have a new tracking number yet and I don't know if its with UPS or TNT. I'd bet you'll be back on here in two weeks looking at macrumors through 27" eyes

Does that mean they are starting to catchup? Considering many of us been waiting more than 4 weeks?

I have the same config but ordered on 30.11.2012, its Still showing 04.01.2013 - Prepairung for Shipment - the same as you, but imagine my surprise when 10 minutes ago I got a call from my wife to say my iMac had been delivered ! no status update, no tracking , no despatch confirmation or anything . it just turned up.
They have some serious issues with the delivery tracking going on.
The UK leg of the journey appears odd.
I tracked mine from the factory in China on the 2nd to Heathrow on the 4th. Cleared Heathrow customs on the morning of the 7th.....then nothing....tracking ends.
Phoned Apple, apparently still in the depot there. No UK courier assigned yet.
Spot the bottleneck.

Kool i was reading people tracking their orders but never knew how to do it thanks for that
Yhh i cant wait!!
And now I've got my ups number
due to deliver tomorrow, the only day this week no one is home to sign for it :/ I'm hoping I can pick it up myself on Wednesday if I call them up.Atlast...
iMac arrived today at 5.00pm by UPS!!!!!!!!!
Originally ordered on 3rd Dec 2012.
Left it to 'warm up' to room temp for a few hours and when fired up everything seems good - no dead pixels, no yelo screens etc.
For all of you that are still waiting... the tracking system by UPS from China through to final delivery is rubbish - I think they only update when they feel like it.
When your iMac does arrive though...
IT'S WELL WORTH THE WAIT

Don't think so. Merely that they couldn't give January as estimated date any more...
First post from my new iMac - it's def worth the wait - looks amazing. It's my first iMac so taking a bit of getting used to!
My additional 16GB RAM from Crucial has also arrived so will fit that tomorrow.
27" i7, 16GB, 3TB Fusion, 680MX. iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod Classic, iPod Nano 7th Gen.

European customers are treated worse than americans by Apple. It's not just a matter of priorities. The support is also better and they tend to give you more without asking money. And that is quite sad considering we pay more with the /$ currency exchange.
Finally I got mine yesterday. Thought it would be Saturday, because it was at TNT depot near my home on Friday, but they decided to let me wait just a little bit longer.
But it was definiteley worth the wait!! First Mac ever and I'm so happy with it.
Easy startup configuration, only little problems with handling (cmd + c instead of strg + c and so on...).
And all is oh so quiet. Awesome! And so far no problems with dead pixels, noises, etc. But didn't test backlight bleeding, yet.

I'm just starting to get a little narked with Apple now...Quite a few BTO's ordered before mine have been delivered, I have a buyer for my current imac who won't wait forever, and I'm still stuck in processing...
My iMac is finally en route. It got shipped last night From Pudong local time (Shanghai) and is in transit
Expected delivery by TNT is 14th ( In Antwerp, Belgium)
Is it normal that it takes a week ?

UPS Uk tracking info suddenly appeared very late last night....iMac was only 10 miles away at 23.20 yesterday....loaded onto the delivery vehicle at 05.34today ....so on its way (I hope).
I'll be honest and say the tracking info has so far been very good, allowing for a logical update lag and the blackhole of Heathrow, BUT I've had absolutely no notification of delivery today...If I hadn't been checking the UPS website at midnight I'd have left for work and missed it.
At least 48 business hours notice.....NOT.
So looks like about 6 days from Factory in China to small town on the Devon Coast, nearly half of which appears to have been spent observing the evaporation of the aqueous components from the decorative coatings at Heathrow.
