Ordered my iMac on the 9th, 27" i7 3.4ghz, 1TB Fusion Drive, 8GB RAM and the 680MX. Estimated delivery is 6th-13th Feb. Can't wait.

Just rang my local Apple store to see if they have my BTO spec in stock, they didn't and do not stock iMacs with Fusion Drives. Shame.

My status is still Processing. I used a cc for it but seemingly no monies have been taken yet, should I be worried?


I ordered the same, on the same date, and live less than 30 miles from you

should be interesting to see who gets theirs first!

Very interesting! At least I am not alone in the process :D Reading through the past couple of pages, hopefully change to preparing within the next week!
 
Hi guys, received my mac this morning 27", 1TB fusion, it's my first mac and already the differences are huge compared to my pc, physically and the speed is jaw dropping!

Just for anyone whose status has been changed to shipped, for timescales, mine was shipped on Monday and stalked it all the way, the last part in Germany took about 24hrs to depart but then after was pretty quick, I received it within about 8 hrs of leaving Germany (looking at departure times from the UPS site), the UPS estimated delivery was spot on.

Hope you all get yours soon, this forum has definitely kept me (relatively) sane!! The help and advice here has been amazing :)
 
Getting ready for the new arrivals :D

Exeter had one with a 1Tb Fusion drive last w/end... seems the picture varies... I didn't think the stores actually had much choice in the matter... but what do I know?!
 
Now the plot thickens with this latest entry in the Expeditors log...

18-Jan-2013 16:00:00 GMT Proof of Delivery Rcvd LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) Proof Of Delivery

Ha! So it's spent the last two days going from London Heathrow to London Heathrow? If I had any hair I'd be pulling it out right now... instead I'm off to watch Django at the flix! :rolleyes:

It's not got far :(

I'm in the midlands
 
Best to be pessimistic! But hopefully you're wrong and UPS or someone is about to ring your bell! :)

Ok... my Apple Order Tracking message has updated to provide me with a UPS reference number.

So... quite a lot of shuffling around to get to LHR via Abu Dhabi... then to-ing and fro-ing at LHR and then activity over the last couple of days which resulted in, today, the precious beast arriving in Tamworth.

Apparently no-one up there works over the weekend :( so the delivery date is now Monday (it's previously been the 22nd on Apple Tracking).

So from the date it was collected at Shanghai to get to the plan (15 Jan) to the fairly firm delivery date (21 Jan) we're looking at 6 days (inc a w/end).

That's probably as slow as it'll be for anyone once your parcel starts moving.

Total time from funds appearing at Apple - about 5.5 weeks, total time from first placing of the order on 30 Nov - about 8 weeks.

That's assuming Monday is the magic day... so it should arrive just in time to really screw up my working week :eek::eek:

...see my longer message on this! Seems our two machines appear to be keeping each other company! Assuming yours has also got to Tamworth... :rolleyes:

Edit: Arrived at Castle Donington at 4:23. Kind of expected it to go to Heathrow though? Sure it will work its way down the country though.

Mine's in the same batch but has to work its way UP the country to Scotland :)
 
Anybody from the netherlands which have had their status changed to shipped?

I ordered on the 23rd of December and the status has been changed to shipped on the 18th of January. The only down side is that I don't get any UPS services and tracking information because it's being sent my the TNT?

The strange thing is that I've seen people in the Netherlands receive their IMACS through UPS. Not sure why mine is being sent by TNT. I was able to locate TNT tracking info though, unfortunately it just says estimated arrival 22nd of January, but no location or plane information (No fun :()

By the way some my neighbor ordered a non stand imac in the first week of January and has also received the status shipped. It seems they are catching up and orders placed in January are being shipped allot faster. Maybe all the complaints have worked :)

My config:

3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 675MX 1G GDDR5

APPLE MAGIC MOUSE
Apple WL Kybd+User's Guide-N
COUNTRY KIT-ZH

PS: still no transaction on my Visa creditcard though?

My order has now been shipped, they still haven't taken my money though. When does it normally come out?

I ordered mine on a credit card, I'm in the UK.

My iMac shipped on the 15 January and according to my online credit card transaction webpage the date the transaction was applied was 2 days later (17 January). However, the transaction was only visible for me to view on my online credit card transaction webpage from today.

Thanks for the info. ;)
