Same build, but promised date of 5/24 - 6/1. My Apple card was charged (pending) but has now fallen off (still not shipped). Since it's now vanished (no record/history) I think the pending charge stayed for about a week.
Also ordered a new AppleTV (same order). Pending charge Sunday 5/16, tracking Wed 5/19, delivered Fri 5/21.
So jealous of you all. I ordered a 16GB + 1TB green model on preorder day and it isn't set to deliver until late June!
Same thing happened to me so I tried dropping it down to 512gb and still late June. So then I decided to look at blue and blue was also late June for 1TB only when I dropped the blue to 512gb was I able to get it to show a delivery date for release day so I went with blue.
My blue 8/8 16gb 1tb is out for delivery.Same build (Blue 16GB/1TB), same story/wait

Mine has finally updated, it says "processed" in Dublin Ireland. According to Apple it will allegedly be here (UAE) tomorrow which seems a bit extreme. DHL says it will be here today which obviously won't be the case.
Mine came from Ireland. Was dispatched on Friday and arrived today (UK)
depends on how his neighborhood is with porch pirates whether that's good or bad news.!
we had a substitute (and LATE) ups guy Friday and he actually rang the door bell and wanted a first name. no signature. not sure what he'd have done had I not answered the door? everything else coming from apple (and everything else) so far has just been left on the porch.
apple does say signature not required... so hopefully they'll leave it for you.
when did you place your order? and what was your original delivery period?
(my email confirmation came through at 5:08 a.m. and we're still waiting for that configuration to even prepare to ship much less get delivered! disappointed in apple)
Placed an order on 30 April within 6 minutes of availability. Received the wife's Silver/16/1TB/Numeric Kybd model on Friday via FedEx. My Blue/16/1TB, like many on this tread is still showing as "Processing...".
Thanks to everyone who has been cheering me on as I waited for my Yellow iMac! Update- it was delivered at 10:10 am today!! No one was home, but they left it on my doorstep. Luckily my better half had just left for work and was able to turn around to run home and move it inside. These last few hours at work are going to go by so slowly.
I hope all the others with their 5/21 deliveries that were stuck in Memphis receive their iMacs today too!

Our silver iMac had an delivery date of 24 May and (Friday) 21 May for FedEx. It arrived in Memphis shortly after midnight on Tuesday, stayed on "hold" for a day, was cleared and left the facility on Thursday (20 May) afternoon. It arrived by noon on Friday.
You may still be okay for Thursday...
Adding to the FedEx tracking fun. Package was released and sent from Memphis to my local FedEx facility yesterday...after all of the various holds in Memphis). Got a notification that is at my local facility and should be delivered today before noon...nice!
10:46 AM I get a message that it is now "Clearance in Progress" at my local FedEx facility.... In the grand scheme of things, a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.
Not sure if this is on Apple or FedEx...most likely the latter, but this combined with a recent less than stellar MBA repair experience, has bruised my opinion of Apple's Customer Service a bit.

This delivery experience has not been good!
I was excited when I got emails and texts from UPS telling me that I’d be getting my iMac on Friday by midday. Which changed to ‘by end of the day.’ Which didn’t arrive.
Then Monday (this morning) the website (and another email) told me it would be arriving by lunchtime today. Then by end of the day. Then it didn’t arrive again.
So I called UPS. They said actually it had only cleared customs a couple of hours ago and never been out for delivery. Their system had been autogenerating delivery information. So the fact that either me or my husband has had to make sure we are in at all times for 2 full days was actually for nothing.
They say they should be able to deliver it Wednesday, maybe Thursday now. Literally the only two days that neither of us can be at home during the day. And I have to call back tomorrow when it’s arrived at the next hub to arrange to move the delivery to Friday as they can’t do that today. For some reason.
Short version: UPS are really #h1t. What a messed up system!
Oh well, one day I’ll have my new iMac!!!

So annoying to hear about your experience with the delivery, I haven't got mine yet.
But, do you think apple are aware of the fiasco that is going on with some of the deliveries?
I was wondering about contacting Apple, but also thinking if I can just collect it from the hub myself when it gets there and then forget UPS even exist I might be happier. 🙄
Confirmation at the exact same time as you, 5:08 am PST on 4/30. Original shipping of 5/21-5/27 standard delivery.
8/8 16/1tb blue still processing. Ordered a few hours after they first dropped.
It came early! Instead of June 1st it's here today, the tracking didn't even say it was out for delivery lol.
But honestly...right of the bat.. I HATE the magic mouse after being used to the macbook trackpad :/ I wish I went for that option.
