Congrats!
I got the exact same config and color. Love the yellow too! Love the yellow gold color of the base and peripherals.
Yay for you…. I hope this means my will be shipping soon. I ordered a purple 8/8/256 on May 21st and still stuck at processing and nothing charged to my card yet… fingers crossed that it will happen soon….
UK here ; I ‘ve been charged since Monday for my yellow mid-model , still nothing beyond processing .
That is a bit disappointing. ? Mine got charged yesterday. ETA July 9 to 16. Living in Norway.
? Sounds like I need to get a life & stop checking my order every five minutes!!!
Seriously I'm nearly 50 - I'm worse than a kid before Christmas...
Our lovely new iMacs will turn up soon enough, then we can discuss who's got a wonky one! ?
Why don't order with standard delivery?Do not buy an iMac with standard delivery if you can.
It was the only option for my order. Now, if I look at my tracking, I cry...
The destination is Venice, Italy.
Estimated: June 30th
I’m thinking of just ordering from Best Buy or Costco as they have the silver 8/8 8gb 256 in stock and would be delivered in a couple of days. Mainly for home use and for kids who are in elementary school. Doubt I’ll need anymore more than that. My iPad Pro has been my main computer for the last few years.
My blue iMac finally arrived today. Initial impressions, colour of the blue on the stand keyboard and mouse is very subtle. I almost thought they had packed the wrong accessories. It really does depend on the lighting in the room. The machine itself is very fast, it actually seems faster than my M1 MacBook Pro but that maybe the extra ram. I went with 16 gb for the desktop.
My order's just moved to "Preparing to Ship"...
(ordered on 22nd May from UK - Orange 8/16/2TB)
...okay I admit it - I'm still checking about once an hour! ?

I’ve never been so anxious to see money leave my bank account ?. Ordered on May 27th, so hoping to see it hit the acct in a day or so.
my credit card has already been charged, just waiting for a shipped notification.
...and shipped! ?
So quick recap - I ordered on the 22 May a maxed out orange iMac to the UK and was given an estimated delivery of between 6th - 13th July.
Card charged Friday 25th June
"Preparing to Ship" Monday 28th June
Shipped today Tuesday 29th June (from Shanghai)
New estimated delivery date of 5th July ?
Incidentally I don't need a "maxed out" iMac, but all my previous Apple products have lasted a very long time and I tend to keep things until they fail or pass them on to family. Previously I've had a little buyers remorse that I didn't spend a bit extra on a higher spec BTO version - well not this time!! (and anyway - it's a 50th birthday present to myself! ?)

hmmm.. ordered on June 9th, delivery 27 JULY (!!!!!!!!). How can the delivery time be so damn long??
Oooo... That's nice and fast!shipped.. delivers tomorrow!
My iMac having departed from Shanghai on Tuesday now seems to be having a stopover in the Republic of Korea.
I assume that it's doing all the best tourist sites and will have some nice photos to show me when it get's here... ??
Well, the 5th was a lie! It's here and it's beautiful. ?
Fantastic!
My iMacs world tour has now reached Germany - where it's stopped for an overnight rest and presumably a well earned beer..! ?
