My iMac shipped today. I order the base 21.5" model on Saturday morning along with an HP printer. I got notices that both had shipped around 1 PM today. FedEx has their status as "initiated" with an estimated delivery date of August 4.
 
So called Apple about my janky tracking number. The girl said she had gotten calls of this nature earlier in the day and the problem lay with fedex. She said if the iMac didn't arrive between the 4th or the 7th to give them a call back. I hope it doesn't come to that. Must play Starcraft 2!
 
im in the UK and ordered a 27 i7 and i get dud tracking numbers. can anyone shed insight into this;

got a free ipod nano as a student incentive and that came with an odd tracking number;

Shipped on: Jul 30, 2010 via Syncreon Technology

my imac was shipped;

Shipped on: Jul 30, 2010 via Kuhne & Nagel Spedition s.a r.
Tracking #: 00340422530004014xxx

As far as I am aware if you order a custom imac it is shipped from China, I am in the same boat just now..

Mine is due to arrive 6th August but all I have is those same sort of details, I guess until it arrives in the UK and gets a courier ie Fed Ex, UPS or whatever apple use in the UK then we won't get any other details..

it'll be updated in time though!
 
Mine arrived in Cork this morning, think thats where all the UK Apple stuff comes in.

Now its IN TRANSIT :)
 
ordered a quad i5 with 8gb ram last week within 2 hours of the update with an expected delivery of 6th August, and just received this from Apple:

yet if i go to the uk apple store and look at the same thing i have on order, it still gives an estimated shipping time of 4 days!

grrrrrrrr.......
 
I ordered my i5 21.5" on Friday morning. Said Ships 1-3 business days, it still says that :-(

I want my iMac!
 
I have a different tracking number now and it says it's departed from cork Ireland and on schedule for 5th woo hoo :D

When did you order?

I ordered a standard 21.5 base model and added the battery charger. It says my mac is custom configured. Is this normal??
 
Prepared for Shipment

Ordered on weekend and has now been "Prepared for Shipment" for two days...

Printer has a few weeks wait on that.

Same here. Just this morning it went from 'not yet shipped' to 'prepared for shipment'. Although, i received an email from Apple telling me that my iMac WILL ship today and the printer will arrive at a later date because of the delay.
 
Finally my Imac i7 8gb ram got shipped. Orderd 28th of July, estimated to be delivered 5-6 August. :rolleyes:
 
I ordered my 21.5 model on release day, and all I've got so far is;

Shipped to: ***** G.B, 30th July
Estimated Delivery Date: 6th August
Current Delivery Status: In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule, 3rd August
(Its worth noting that this date has changed every day, ie 1st Aug, 2nd Aug, 3rd...)

No tracking number, no carrier. Hmmmm.... :eek:

EDIT: I've discovered something rather interesting. The U.K and U.S Apple Store sites both show different information regarding your Shipping. I've just logged onto the U.S site instead, and now it shows the courier my items are shipping in - for the iMac, its "Kuhne & Nagel Spedition s.a r.", and for the iPod Touch and AppleCare, its "Syncreon Technology" . All shipped on July 30th apparently.
 
I ordered on monday and it's still not shipped, i'm getting really impatient waiting for this!
 
Mine is now showing delivery today :D

>Looks out of the window for the UPS van...<

UPS fail, delivery no show...
 
I ordered a standard config 3.2ghz iMac 21.5 on Sunday, and initially UPS indicated they would not be delivering until Sunday (in Canada).

I woke up this morning and checked again for the heck of it, and it says 'out for delivery'! :)
 
Alright, the printer delay story: it seems it isn't delayed anymore since my order status was updated this afternoon: ready for shipment. A few hours after that i got an email from apple my order has been shipped with a delivery date of tomorrow! That's really soon.. UPS tracking number confirms this. Sweet.
 
The most annoying thing about the wait isn't the actual length of the wait, it's not knowing if your machine is going to be usable on receipt.

I'm almost ready to head down to an apple store the day it comes to get a replecement for yellow screen.
 
Ordered a BTO on July 28th. No info updated until Aug 4th when it went "prepared for shipment" and then a couple hours later it was in Fedex's hands.

They're estimating Friday, I'll be impressed if they do but I'm expecting a Monday delivery.

Update:

Thusday morning and they are halfway here! Can they make their estimated Friday before noon! Taking bets...
