At last...

So...

Exeter, United Kingdom 01/21/2013 1:02 P.M. Signature obtained

That's my signature, that is!

Ready to unbox... don't expect a video though!

So the adventure begins...

:cool:
 
For my order, to Germany, the TNT did not update for 4 days after dispatch, and then I got a call from the delivery truck!

PS- it is bloody beautiful (27'), but at the best resolution, the text is too small to work with (just readable, and just clickable, but not comfortably so). very strange.
 
mine
Shanghai, China 01/21/2013 3:47 P.M. Export Scan

can anyone explain me?
Is it about to leave or its already traveling?
 
Mine has changed on the expeditors website:

21-Jan-2013 11:46:00 GMT Out for Delivery

As my delivery is Jan 24 it must be going to the final delivery carrier.

The line above this is :

21-Jan-2013 15:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date

So I'm guessing I'll get an update who the carrier is after 3pm. :D

Euhm, if it's out for delivery it was being delivered today. I guess no one was home and now you'll have to call your carrier to fix a date for a new delivery.
At least, that's what I think :D

Yup, this is to the final carrier. Check the apple site after delivery and you will see another tracking number to track the last leg. Mine came via UPS

LMAO!!! Times must be hard (pun intended) if he working for UPS :D
 
A kind request to those who are receiving their iMacs, or getting shipment info:
Could you please also write the date you placed your order, so that the rest of us can get a feeling of how long the wait will be.
I know many of you have written it before, but it's easy to forget for the rest of us :)

I got mine today (ordered 13th) took 6 days to arrive.

yours seems slow :( did you order yours via apple?
 
Mine is finally on its way!!

Spec - 3.2 i5, 8Gb, 3TB, 680MX
Ordered - 18 Dec
Preparing - 19 Jan
Shipped - 21 Jan
Expected Delivery - 24 Jan

Lets hope the UK weather doesn't interfere.
 
Update from UPS "04:44 Location Castle Donington. Adverse weather conditions, package will be delivered next business day" :mad:

+1. I've found an additional pastime though - checking the UPS site's "breaking news" section. They currently have a list of postcodes affected by the weather (neither my postcode nor their East Midlands depot's is on it, but I imagine the 1/2 cm of snow's having a knock-on effect all over the country, if not the entire galaxy). Here it's:

My imac is landing on a Virgin flight from Shanghai to Heathrow in about 2 hours time having left the factory on Friday. Interestingly, Apple still have not taken payment for the machine. Have I got a free iMac?? :eek::eek:
 
didn't know about the sheet. Should be a link on the first post. Will update it later today. Thanks :)

That spreadsheet is great but it's making me even more anxious!

I saw one go to shipped that was ordered only 3 days before mine and now I've for my hopes up that mine will go to 'preparing' in the next 3 days

Maybe I should have stayed away and just forgotten about it 'til the 6th - 13th feb ( my delivery window)

Sadly not - it goes like this. Expect payment to be taken in the next day or so!

Too late for that now buddy:)
I should have never looked into this thread in the first place. Now the wait is agonizing.

No kidding. My hubby and children think its hilarious. And then they saw the web page shortcut for the order page in my phone. The p taking is never ending.
