WHERE oh Where is my updated iMac?

[Artful Dodger]

Even at its current state the iMac is more than I need to get things done but just the fact that something might be updated is cool to look for even if "I" can't get one now 🙁
The wait on some seems like a killer that have an order in with the iMacs. If it were some other type of retailer I might be nervous of delays and the wait, wait, not yet, almost there 🙄

New Order

So I guess the whole " they pushed back shipping times to XX days"

doesn't hold water huh?

I think it does hold water... I just had to order a new iMac for my boss yesterday, who refused to wait any longer. The site is telling me it will be shipped on March 7th! That is an 11 day lead time and the 7th is a Tuesday. What does everyone think, will they be sending me a new version?
😕 🙄 😀

These wait times seem odd to me. They keep pushing it back for people who ordered a machine in February. Do you actually think that Apple is postponing the shipment of these devices to send them a better product than they actually agreed to pay for. It just doesn't seem like something the company would do, espcially with the recent FireWire fiasco.

Note that the delivery time in european stores has now decreased to just 2 days. Which, incidently is the delivery time for the eMac also..

In Asian stores the norm seems to be 1-2 days and in the US 3-5 whilst canada seem to have the longest wait at the moment with 5-7 days (but then they are waiting 3-5 days for their eMacs also).

Does this not suggest a supply issue (the iBooks are also affected?)?

Looks that way to me, although i dearly want it to mean otherwise...! 🙁

when i called they didn't offer infinite waiting or whatever its called to me. in fact, they didn't even try to explain the delay, nor did they give me another delivery estimate. i think this is pretty weird behavior.

when i first ordered apple immediately put a hold charge on my credit card. at the beginning of this week it was taken off (i guess it expired or something) but as of today, its back on again. i really wish they would either update the line or ship the iMac already. or at least put the true waiting time in the store, at least 10 (and growing) to x business days.
