I've just got an email form Apple:
Dear [name],

Your order has left Apple and you will have received a Dispatch Notification email advising you of the expected delivery date.

Please note your items are shipping from different locations and will be merged, for your convenience, so that you will receive one single delivery.

As a result, please allow up to 4 business days for your Order Status to be updated online. You can view this information at any time by clicking here.

Kind regards,
Apple Online Store

Is it a good sign??
 
hi there
I have the same flight number as yours - the same status from expeditors - from the tracking info they had hoped to release it by tomorrow but looking at their website its still pending customs clearance - this really sucks -let me know if you have any updates and i will do the same

When I check the expeditors page it doesn't have any "customs" entry. :-(
 
Mines Shipped YEY! ETA 27th Dec…. but still holding a hope for Xmas Eve!

Ps just had a sudden thought… where are all the girls!? Don't they care about iMacs like we do!? ;)

I think we might be sharing a flight!
Ordered BTO on 30th Nov, original estimate 02-04 jan. Now updated to shipped (left shanghai), and new estimated delivery of 27th Dec
 
If my dont change to "preparing for shipment" this week I go crazy.

Still in "processing items" :(
 
Pretty sure mine travelled with yours on flight OZ521 into Heathrow yesterday - Delivery reference 8237399682.

Expeditors has been reporting it has not having cleared customs all day which means it doesn't look too promising for this week. :(

My original delivery forecast was 27/28 December. My shipment email did say 21 December though which is this Friday. To make that it can't be going up to Hinkley to merge with the other order items. Hopefully it will be this side of Christmas - too eager to get it that I'm not concentrating on other things I need to get done!

yeah mine is on that one too, been stuck for days now, and delivery date still showing as tomorrow (21st) but doubtful....
 
Ufff, TNT have annoyed me today.

Saw shipment was delivered to their local depot on the 18th so called them asking them to re-confirm the delivery date. Agent told me that due to the value of items 'clearance' would call me on the 19th. Saw on their website on the 19th (whilst at work) parcel out for delivery, despite me not receiving a phone call.

Called them again, asked them to tell driver not to bother going to my address as no one would be there and to re-schedule for tomorrow (20th). Took day off work today, thought I'd call yet again just to double check everything was still on track. "We tried to deliver on the 19th, no one there, delivery will now be 21st" :mad: Explained situation and they said they would see what they could do.

So it might get delivered today, it might not. Agent told me no one would be available to contact me to confirm if delivery will actually take place today or not, so I just have to wait and see. :rolleyes:
 
I'm thinking that expeditors.com isn't the best way to track our iMacs.

I'm thinking you're right.

Ordered at 11.20am on 30th Nov - 2-3 weeks, 27th - 28th.

'Shipped' on Friday 14th.

Shipment 4395071605 'Confirmed on Board' to arrive LHR on Tues 18th.

Now it's 'Confirmed on Board' for today, Thurs 20th.


Abandon hope all ye who get Expeditors as shipping agents.

Mine looks exactly like yours, must be on the same flight.

I'm still holding out hope it'll come tomorrow what u reckon?

I'm wondering if 'at consol destination' means they've 'consolidated' our orders or merged them. Did you order with anything else?
 
W00T!
Finally got mine!
Unboxed the beast, quick install, quick verification and screen test (imac.squeaked.com).

Conclusion: it's just PERFECT (may be a bit big, compared to my 2008 20" iMac :D).

I'm a girl and I do care just as much about iMacs and stuff like you boys. ;)
 
Criteria:Tracking Number: 8237399682
Data as of:20-Dec-2012 10:01:27 GMT
Arrived, not Cleared for Import - #4395071588

I checked your number and saw the not cleared for customs, checked mine again and mine has changed to that now too. The girl at apple seemed to think my iMac was merged with other products and ready to be collected by a courier. I was originally quoted 27/28 December so I can't complain but it is frustrating when lots of others have received theirs.
 
I went picking mine directly at TNT depot (10' away from home :D).

I was surprised how many 27" I saw, just waiting for their new happy owners!

Note: and I was visibly not the only guy picking it up directly at the depot for speeding things up :p

Mine has shipped and I have a tracking number for UPS, but how can I get details of the flights etc on Expeditors.com? I have tried entering every Order / Tracking / Reference number I have, but none of them work.

What does your tracking number begin with?
