Completely agree MackeralFillet! I even rang a few Apple stores in the UK as I remember they used to stock the i7 before the refresh last week, but not so this time!

The stores here in the us have the new i7.
If it's any consolation, the iphones in the uk come unlocked as standard :)

Orderd my 27" quad i7 2.93 ghz with 8 gb ram yesterday afternoon. Havent been shipped yet, and last time I checked the order-status it stated estimated delivery 10-11 aug. :( living in Sweden.

Hehe.. I have ordered the exact same config as you, and it has the same estimated delivery date 10-11 aug... And I live in Sweden! Pretty funny. :D
 
Just got an email my imac has been shipped :D:D

Lucky you! I ordered Wednesday 26th, 27" i7 8Gb SSD + 1Tb (the same spec I see) and mine is only showing prepared for shipment! Looks like you jumped the queue ;)

I also ordered the trackpad + mouse and a battery charger - surely that shouldn't add time to the order?

I ordered battery charger but no trackpad maybe that's the delay. Hopefully you will get a shipping email soon :)
 
Just a quick question: Yesterday evening i ordered the high end 21.5" with apple remote, "free" ipod nano 8gb, 'free' printer & iphone dock. iMac ships in 4 business days, ipod in 24 hours, dock in 24 hours and printer in 1-2 weeks. The order tells me the shipping will happen when everything is ready. Does that printer REALLY take 1-2 weeks in order to ship?! Would be a real bummer..


Hoi Mathijs,

Just wondering what kind of proof Apple is asking to get an educational discount?:cool:
They just rely on your word?:confused:

When i bought my macbook pro in store, they checked my student id.

This time around when i ordered online, they pretty much just asked you to click on a box that has an agreement saying that you are indeed a student. So yeah pretty much rely on your word LOL
 
My iMac is currently in Oakland, Ca. It's heading to Hawaii. Estimated delivery date is set to Tuesday, is there a possibility that it will come here by tomorrow?

Not if the estimated delivery is for tuesday. Trust to hope that i could be wrong! :)
 
I keep checking the UPS tracking website and all I get is:

>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

Very disconcerting :eek:

Yeah, orderd a 13" Macbook pro late yesterday evening, got shipped today. Guess I have to send a bomb threat to them in Cork Ireland so they make sure to build and deliver our Imacs. Really need it for this weekend :eek:


;)

At least you got UPS I got Fed Ex and they are a bunch of (fill in the blank)...
 
sigh...still nothing

I ordered my imac from the university bookstore where I work at so I could get the educational discount. Ordered first thing on Tuesday 7/29, and all it has ever said is "not yet shipped"

I don't understand why I see people in this thread saying they ordered on the 29th and they have theirs shipped, yet I order mine only a few hours after they were even offered and nothing shipped.

Here is my build:
IMAC 27"/5750/SD

2.93GHZ QUAD-CORE INTELCORE I7
8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 4X2GB
2TB SERIAL ATA DRIVE
ATI RADEON HD 5750 1GB GDDR5
8X DOUBLE-LAYER SUPERDRIVE
APPLE MAGIC MOUSE
WL KB & USER'S GUIDE
COUNTRY KIT,IMAC 27-INCH
 
Question

Question! I asked Apple to split my order if the printer would delay the whole package, and they agreed. They sent me an email telling me my iMac will be shipped the 4th of august. But i don't see that on my order status page.. Is this normal? On that page, it still shows ships by 12th, delivers by 16th. I should probably rely on the email i got i presume?
 
Is there still a shortage of the epson printers? I'm in the Uk, ordered today over the phone and the guy said all my items seem to be in stock so no need to split.

My estimated delivery time is 12th-14th August. Does it usually take that long?
 
Yeah, they said my iMac shipped from apple on July 31, but the fedex tracking they gave me doesn't work... Should I call apple or what?

In the belgian store that printer still gives 1-2 weeks delivery date.. So i guess it's still out of stock. I'm guessing my order status won't be updated until it's the 4th when my iMac, iPhone dock & iPod will be shipped.

Same here. I am going to wait until tomorrow to see if it shows up in the FedEx system. If it doesn't, I'll give Apple a call.
 
I ordered the new 27" i7 iMac (with an upgraded 2 TB HDD) on 7/27. It shipped on 7/31 and has an esitamated delivery of 8/5. Currently, Fed-ex is showing that its in CA. I'm located in FL. I opted for the free shipping.

I also got a printer and ipod with my order. Both have already been received... and the ipod came from China.
 
Ordered a new BTO iMac Wednesday, the 28th, and it still hasn't shipped.
21.5" 3.6GHz i5
4GB RAM
2TB Hard Drive
iWork, Magic Mouse, Wireless Keyboard, and AppleCare.

Prepared for shipment. If I'm in luck, it'll ship from their Pennsylvania centre, near me, but that would be asking too much. :rolleyes:

Same, except mine shipped on the 29th. It left California Saturday morning and I have yet to get an update since.
 
My iMac landed in Honolulu last night, and it shows that "Package not due for delivery." Most of the time FEDEX did deliver my packages a day earlier. I was really looking forward to getting my iMac today. Is there anyway I could get it today?
