Apple says preparing to ship with a delivery date of 14-16 Nov. According to UPS should be here tomorrow. Not bad and a BTO model.

Ordered on November 2, still showing delivery November 16-20.

Blue, 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU
1TB SSD storage
16GB unified memory

For those with delivery dates November 16-20 (or later) who are now showing preparing to ship or shipped - what day did you order?

Just curious if they’re working on November 2 orders yet. Thank you.

I ordered a Silver M3/1TB/24GB config on November 2, still showing as processing with a delivery date of Nov 20-22. If I ordered the previous day it was showing delivery by 17th so I guess I am now in the next 'batch'.
 
I have two shipments from Apple. One is obviously the trade in box (only around 4 lbs). But the other I guess is the M3 iMac (around 20 lbs) listing the delivery as tomorrow (Tuesday 11/7) but it says it is coming from CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA! Didn't know that Apple builds or finishes the building of new iMacs in Pennsylvania LOL!
Anyway - at least it does still say delivery tomorrow as I planned on staying home from work for the delivery.
 
So, the transport of the iMac continues. The iMac has left Shanghai and has now arrived in Incheon (South Korea). From there the flight to Cologne (Germany) should take off in about four hours.

You can track the flights here (UPS flight 5X11):

Hey guys. I'm working on the options for my new iMac and one thing I didn't think about for a long time is the keyboard. I have always gotten the "standard" one without the numeric keypad because I almost never use them. But I see several unboxing videos where they have the extended keyboard and thought maybe I'm missing something. Which did you order?
 
I ordered the small one. I like the compact size. I don‘t need the numeric keypad.
Me too. I do use the numeric keyboard on the Windows machines I use in my office but never felt the need on my home computer (iMac) and never missed it either.
 
Well mine is apparently on a UPS truck driving around Monroe Township, NJ. Said the truck was loaded at 5:15AM and the delivery was scheduled from 12:50-2:15. Now it says "out for delivery" but the time was shifted to 2:15-5:15. Must be a VERY BIG truck or a VERY SLOW driver. 🥲

I did order the small one, but that's because that's the only option if you want to walk in & pick one up today. I've preferred the larger keyboard, because it's just one of those things you don't realize how much like until you have it. It's just instinctive for me to go for the numeric keyboard when filling out stuff online or using the calculator.
 
I just now ordered M3 with 1TB in silver. Said it will be delivered Nov 21 - 29. That kinda messes up my Thanksgiving because I have to stay at my office waiting for the delivery. I don't like to have things shipped to my home.

Anybody know if I will get a more definitive delivery date?

I did. Mine has gotten updated twice so far by a few weeks.
 
Coming from a 2007 iMac 20", then a 27" 2015, diving back in on the M3 blue. Just ordered 16GB of ram and 1 TB. Says 2 weeks. Been using a 2018 MM i7 32GB of Ram since 2019. Still will keep using it, just relocating it to the basement.
