I'm actually amazed at how quick my order has progressed. Genuinely impressed!
Ordered 3rd March
- Original delivery was 4-6 weeks
Got an update to 2-4 weeks, then a day later it changed to 1-2 weeks!
Today, I got an email saying its dispatched.
Should be here 14th March!
Plus it's a 27" 3TB fusion model, so I expected it to be much longer!!

Looks like ours were in the same batch!!
Wow, that's fast! As I've mentioned, I ordered on Feb 18 and my date is currently sat at March 20-27. What makes this worse for me is that I'm originally from Preston, as I can see you are. It's slow here in Germany.

Nice!
I ordered a 27" iMac on 12 Feb and it was estimated to arrive between 19 March - 03 April. I got an email on Saturday saying it has been dispatched and now my Apple account says "Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date."
I've not been provided with any courier information or received a text yet. Although, by estimate has been moved to 15 March, which is great news!
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question about delivery. Do you get an exact delivery date once it's been despatched?
I am not allowed to have things delivered at work so will need to be there at home when the iMac is delivered but obviously I can't do that unless I know the exact day. Do you get a specific date a few days before it arrives?
Thanks,

Hi, Yes you will know a few days in advance. Once UPS have it you can check there website which will give you the delivery date.
That's great, I was hoping that would be the case. Thanks for the information.
I'll post the photos later but mine arrived today!!
9 days from ordering it arrived. So early I missed the delivery and went to collect from UPS.
It's amazing. Didn't realise how big 27" actually was... Turned it on (after bumping the RAM to 32GB) and just sat, jaw on the floor, taking it in!

Arrived safely
Mine too - it arrived yesterday (12th). Quick question in case anyone can help me. I've switched from Windows with a fast Logitech G5 mouse and am finding the Magic Mouse to be really slow. If I do sudden quick swipes it manages to move quickly across the 27" inch screen, but I'm finding it a real chore to do small movements where it seems to almost come to a standstill.
Is this just one of those things that's exaggerated by the switch from Windows and that I'll get used to, or is it a known issue with a workaround?
Any help you guys can give would be great.
I ordered mine on February 9th with the following configuration for delivery to the UK between 18-25/03/13,

from what i read, it will ship 4 days after the money disappears from your account. this is when using a debit card.
Done it! The Pope is here, but our iMacs not.
This is becoming kind of a bad joke. 14 weeks and still absolutely nothing!!

cancel and order from apple.
Apple charged our card today, 15 March. Estimated delivery is still the 19th to 26th. I doubt it will be the 19th.
My Feb 18 order went to "Preparing for Shipment" this morning and has just changed to "Dispatched". As it changed to dispatched, the estimated delivery date on the Apple Store was March 21 then minutes later it was March 22. I checked the tracking code with UPS and it's estimated to be delivered by the end of the day on March 20, haha - three different days in a few minutes. Either way, I'll keep tracking it and hopefully get a more accurate date soon. It's currently in Cork, Ireland.
My Feb 20th order today went to Preparing and then Dispatched. I paid the extra £8 for Express Delivery, not sure that makes any difference as the current estimate for the delivery is next Tuesday, the 19th.

We're pretty much at the same stage. I ordered a couple of days earlier than you, however, but it was also dispatched yesterday. I didn't realise you could pay for express delivery - was that on the checkout stage? As of 0200 this morning my iMac left Dublin.
