SHIPPED!!!!!
Where can I track it? Unfortunately my delivery date is Jan 2nd (subject to change!!)

These are mine numbers:
View attachment 384161


Which one should I track?
Is it possible to arrive faster?

Good news! I know you have been waiting long and hard. :)

It took some time before I was able to track mine after shipping, but then I used the carriers tracking number when TNT had picked it up.
 
It took your iMac 3 days to get from arnhem to Germany???? Mine left Arnhem 2 hours ago and is supposed to be delivered tomorrow! That scares me a bit to be true since I took the day off tomorrow just to receive my baby. Why took yours 3 days from there Jesus...

Probably just because of the weekend. I am sure you will get yours on time.
 
Anyone believing that Apple follows the first in, first out principle should pay attention to this.

My friend and I live in the same town in Sweden ten minutes from each other and we ordered the exact same specification: 27" 3.2GHz i5 3TB Fusion 680MX 8GB with AppleCare and education discount. My order was in two minutes after AppleStore went up on Friday 30th. Due to a trip his order was not in until early morning Sunday 2nd. His is now preparing for shipment, mine is processing. Nice one, Apple.

An update for anyone interested:
- My order is still processing
- My friend's iMac will be arriving Friday June 21

I guess they waited until Monday morning, threw all the orders for the first three days into a tombola and started picking.
 
Did anyone go through Quidco to get their iMac and have their purchase tracked? I just had to raise a claim.

On Topcashback it says that apple don't acknowledge cashback until the product has been delivered. It says to give it a week after receiving before raising a claim.
 
Even if it is merged???
And delivery date is so sad... Will it change?

Mine went from Dec 28 to Dec 19, and then to Dec 20 which is my current delivery date. I guess yours will have to be in Europe by early wednesday to be delivered before Xmas. Maybe . . .

After 24hrs I'll be able to track it on Expeditors, right?

And why does it say that it was shipped on Dec 18th???????

Cheers mate, you saved my day ;)
We're like little children here who need to be reassured by their parents that everything is fine. It's ridiculous how much I want this thing. I wasn't so anxious about a delivery date since I bought my new car. It's even worse than with the car actually :D

I have not been able to track mine on Expeditors. Maybe it only work for the USP-guys. In Shanghai it will be morning soon (18th).
 
I think there are at least nine of us in the "Arrived in Cologne on UPS21 at 4:56PM 12/16/2012" club:

smr, Shropshire UK
SOLLERBOY, Manchester UK
DeafRaiders, Glasgow, UK
Shpenza, Barcelona, Spain
Lenut, Barcelona
Terryimac, Bournemouth, UK
DarrenUK, UK
Holmesy, ?
mac-monkey, ?

Have any of you seen any updates? Are all due on the 19th (Wednesday)?

If newcode's experience is anything to go by, we might not see movement until the early hours of the 19th but still see delivery later the same day!

Can add me to that list, hope it comes that day as I am off. In Teesside
 
Just checked my dispatch email from Apple and it says:

Carrier Name

Syncreon Technology

Looked on their website and put in various numbers from the email but nothing showing up. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Mine was with syncreon. I tracked it from shipping on the 12th from shanghai, to abu Dhabi and on to heathrow, where it landed yesterday, this morning it was delivered to consignee. Did all this using the 86 number at http://www.expeditors.com/

this afternoon my apple order tracking page updated with a ups number and my delivery date (initially 27th which dropped to 20th on shipping) dropped to 18th, now tracking mine via ups for delivery tomorrow. Hope all this helps give a handle on where to track it, likely routes and how long its taking, surprised it takes 6-7 days to air freight and deliver from china thought it would be quicker than that tbh.
 
Yeah its strange, maybe they are just using the max time range they have for delivery "on time" to pack up the plane with the maximum amount of packages they can so they dont waste the fligh for nothing, thats my guess!!! either way, 2 or 3 days in Germany doesnt matter if their delivery schedule is still "on time"
they don't work week ends, thqs the reason

because in china it's already the 18 th ;)

Hi. I just had a drive delivered by them the tracking is not that obvious

In the track box put the number that starts with an 8 and then a second box appears. In that one put the code starting with w (po number)

Then search and it works.

You can't keep that page and refresh though as it times out so you have to use the 2 codes each time... Pain in the bottom....
 
On Topcashback it says that apple don't acknowledge cashback until the product has been delivered. It says to give it a week after receiving before raising a claim.

Thanks for that. I did enter the delivery date as I have one now, but will see what happens.
 
Yippeee!!!

I got the same - assume your iMac was on VS251 too then? My assumption is that the delivery today is delivery from Expeditors to UPS/TNT, and Nilesh works for them. Once our iMacs have merged with the other items (I've got a SuperDrive coming) then we'll hopefully get UK carrier info.

I'm currently on for delivery on the 20th. As long as they don't try to do it tomorrow I should be fine.

Nothing more from Expeditors BUT now with UPS (somewhere!*) for delivery tomorrow.

*UPS had said summat about label printing, now says 13.22 Order Processed Ready For UPS & 21.08 Origin Scan @ Tamworth.

I've given detail so you can see the process with Merge (Applecare & stuff) from 8.29 order on 30th.

Delivery is 'by the end of the day' so poor collie will have to wait for her walk & have appointment elsewhere that I may have to cancel! It's worth it....

Hope this helps fellow 'Mergers'-good luck
 
So having been "Delivery Date: Dec 20" since it shipped on the 13th (apart from five minutes this afternoon when it slipped to 21st), what I was worried would happen when they arrived in the UK yesterday has indeed happened. UPS are now delivering it tomorrow - the only day this week when I'm not at home - when not only will I not be in, but I won't get home until after 19:30 and so probably won't be able to reschedule the delivery for anything before the 20th.

Still, at least that's when I first expected it, right?
