IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!!

Heard that someone with 21-31 dec dates got pushed back to 'january'. What does Apple think, everybody outside USA is not important???? Grrrrr.

I'm still processing...

From what I have seen so far, it looks like all those who ordered early morning on 30th got theirs or about to get their iMacs in reasonable time, i.e. this week. Anyone ordered late afternoon on the 30th are delayed about a week or two into the new year. I have also seen a few exceptions whereby someone ordered early morning on the 30th, but way behind in their statuses, and someone who ordered after the 30th got theirs earlier than expected.

I was monitoring the Apple online store and the dispatched estimate was changed from 2-3 weeks to 3-4 weeks by afternoon on the 30th.
 
Event log on expeditor just included the following:
20-Dec-2012 14:34:00 GMT Out for Delivery

Probably delivered to Apple's hub for merging.

Now wouldn't it be truly awesome if they surprised me and actually delivered it to my house today. *dreaming*

Where you from?
I'm from Switzerland and got it delivered today.
Has nothing to do with the region, I think.

How can you track it? Mine is also merged but I can't track it :(
 
Mine arrived at about 9AM with UPS. It's amazing, just a few minutes left with migration assistant. The box was shredded on one side and soaking but luckily apple had loads of foam inside the brown box so the white one was still pristine.
 
Mine delivery time is still Jan 2nd, but I called Apple and they told me that it is already in Europe and will be merged and sent to me soon (this year :D)
Unfortunately I can't track it :(

I've got exactly the same data as you… really annoyed that my Mac seems to have been on a van driving around Shanghai for 24 hours… I was hoping it was well on the way by now!

Same here, ordered the 30th nov, and got pushed back to 2-8 jan instead of 27-31 dec. I think it's because we are Dutch......
