You'll get yours befor mine and I ordered on the 9th. It looks like mine has been sat in shanghai for 3 days waiting !

Hmm that's odd! I have a tracking number, but i don't think it's registered with UPS yet, as there's no data. (understandable as it's only been a few hours since the notification changed).

I just hope I'm able to be home on the day!

ARRIVED TODAY 5th Feb. Hooray!!!!!!!
 
Mine was supposed to be delivered today, but looks like it may be delayed :(

It arrived into Stansted yesterday morning at 5am where it sat until this morning 6am where it has 'departed stansted'. That sounds like it's on its way somewhere else before the 'out for delivery' message.

Damn.

Anyone know if I can call Apple to get them to deliver to my work address instead? I can't guarantee someone at home all day tomorrow now..shame.

*edit* I spoke too soon - it's out for delivery from Croydon today. Not sure how it can depart from Stansted at 6am and be out for delivery from Croydon at 8.30..ho hum! Anyway, hopefully someone will be home, otherwise it's a reschedule for me!

Today's the day.....maybe...

Well, according to the UPS tracking system, today is the day, after over a month of waiting, my :apple: iMac finally arrives!
Unfortunately it appears to have only departed from Castle Donnington this morning at 0520, and i assume it has to go to the local Gloucester depot before it moves to 'Out for Delivery'. Their system is still adamant that it will be delivered today though! :confused:

I'm working from home today in the hope it's on time, but then i'm in Liverpool for 2 days so won't get it until the weekend, so fingers crossed!!!

Come on UPS, i believe in you!!!!!

Once mine for in the hands of the UK UPS people it got to me in under 24 hours.
It arrived at my local depot and left less than hour later

Is it on UPS site you are seeing out for delivery or expeditors ?

On UPS, it's now updated to 'out for delivery' so looks like they're going to come through! Just transferring my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro onto an external HDD ready to transfer onto the new iMac.

Have you got yours yet?

Yes I got it yesterday morning.

I'm sure you will get it if they say out for delivery today

I love the display.I mean really love it. And the i7 is a beast

It's quite a change from my old 20" though.

It's going to take a while to get used to the 27" display. I keep full screening safari and ending up with big white blank bits to the sides

Although the OS is identical. On a dual screen set-up its different. I can't quite make it act as my old set up yet. But working on it!

I didn't have airplay or airdrop before so..
 
My Jan 8th BTO order's delivery time is as clear as mud. Expeditors says:

Services Completed: Delivered - #4395094521
SHANGHAI, CHINA TO LONDON, ENGLAND
Delivered to Consignee: 06-Feb-2013 10:17:00 GMT

But there's no sign of the 82******** number on UPS, Fedex or TNT. Apple's own tracking system simply says:


Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) Feb 11, 2013
In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule

How can it take 5 days to progress from Heathrow to Wiltshire, with no information. Very frustrating!

I'm pretty sure it will arrive tomorrow

My apple estimated delivery day was 8th Feb after it was shipped. If its been delivered to consignee it should be with you quickly

These tracking systems just don't update. By the time I had a UPS tracking number it was 3 hours away

Reading this has just made my 4-6 week wait even worse. I Seem to mainly ready bad stuff on here (Yellow tint/dirt/pixels etc...) so it's nice to see someone is happy with theirs! :)

I'm more than happy with it. I was fed up with these threads being dominated by horror stories so set to redress the balance. It's a beautiful thing. Strangely the thinness does show and makes a difference. And that fusion drive works perfectly for my use

It's worth the wait. Hang in there :)
 
Had to laugh a little when the UPS guy asked "So what ARE these things? They seem to be all I'm delivering lately and everyone seems very excited to see me".

I managed to ramble on for about 30 seconds, and then just told him to google "iMac" and signed for the package.

It's glorious - well worth the wait - everything you want it to be etc etc.

Thank you so much for this thread for making the wait that much more bearable.

The best things come to those who wait!

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement, oililymad!
 
My tracking hasn't changed since it arrived Pudong airport 04-Feb (same day as it was shipped). Expeditors.com shows "no data".
But TNT says it is on its way. I should have it by monday 11th as originally predicted (although TNT's tracking page shows 12-Feb now instead of 11-Feb).
Weird case.
 
I'm constantly checking the UPS tracking page to see if a delivery has been attempted - nothing yet.
As they deliver up to 7pm, I'm being most optimistic that myself (or wife) will get home before they try!
 
It's Here!!

The very nice UPS man just delivered my iMac! Glorious!

Type the 82******** number into Expeditors.com to see how your shipment from Shanghai is progressing all the way through final customs clearance to the point where it's handed over to UPS or whoever for final delivery. At that point, your "Track Shipment" entry on the Apple web site will update with the final carrier tracking details and, from there, you can track it all the way to your door.
