I'm also from Switzerland and waiting for my 27" i7. I ordered it together with an iPod Touch and a printer on August 2nd and the status is still:

Not yet shipped
Ships: 4 business days
Delivers: 16 Aug, 2010 - 17 Aug, 2010

But I just can't wait ;-) Called Apple yesterday and they told me it should be shipped by Friday / Monday...

fingers crossed!
 
It's coming...

Ordered my iMac 27" i7 with 8 GB RAM on Aug 3. I got notification from Apple just now that's it's getting shipped. It got picked up by Kuroneko Yamato in Shanghai. I might get it tomorrow! Very eager and excited!:D
 
I'm in Canada (Ontario). I ordered mine the morning of July 27th. It shipped on July 30th from Rancho COrdova, California, then made its way to Elk Grove, California, spent some time in Memphis, TN, then arrived at the sort centre in Calgary, Alberta on July 31st and has been there ever since. :( It was supposed to deliver to my home yesterday (Aug. 5th) according to the email from Apple. FedEx told me that apparently it is waiting to clear customs, and I phoned Apple and they said once it's 3 business days past when they said it would deliver to call them back and they will try and get it cleared for me or something like that. Ugh, this waiting is killing me. Stupid Canada Customs!!

That sucks. I ordered on the 28th. Shipped Aug 4th, made it to Calgary on the 5th where it did have a note "Paperwork available for non-FedEx broker" but by the 6th, it was out on the truck for delivery.

I think they lost your papers or it's perpetually on the bottom of the stack.

lol yeah, that's what I was thinking, but later on it FINALLY said that it was at the sort facility in Thunder Bay, and now it has said "On FedEx truck for delivery" for several hours. I wonder if that means it is actually out for shippment, or if it is literally just in a truck, sitting in a parking lot or something....
 
Ordered i7 on August 1st. It shipped on August 3rd. Had an original ship date of August 7th - was changed to August 10th!!! Can't wait :cool:
 
iMac came in today!! I've been playing around with it all afternoon, setting it up and showing it off to my friends and family. Everyone is either in awe or questioning why I need such a big screen!:rolleyes:

No yellow tint issue at all, but I DO have one dead/stuck pixel (I don't know the difference), but it is definitely not noticeable unless my face is two inches away from the screen, and not worth me sending this thing back and risking a yellow screen or something...

I don't know how quiet these things are supposed to be, but I can hear the hard drive. Is that supposed to happen, or is this the loud hard drive issue I have heard? I don't know any better, lol, and it is hugely awesome compared to my PC that just got retired today....

SO pumped!!:D
 
Okay, so friday, I cancelled the printer, and a few hours later...

IT IS READY FOR SHIPPING !!! :D At last...

But only leaving china on Monday 9th, and arriving in Switzerland on Monday 16th :(

Seems a bit long, how much of a chance does it have of arriving Friday 13th ?

Don't know the shipping carrier yet...

:)

Which printer did you order?
Every printer seems to be ready for shipping within 24 hours.
My status is still "Not yet shipped" - ordered the iMac with an iPod and an OfficeJet 4500. I think I have to call Apple again on Monday... :mad:

Thats what it said when I ordered mine (same as you).. Checked friday morning, shipping time went up to 2-3 weeks !!!

So I cancelled it, called Apple about it, they where sorry and promised to put my order in "priority", and when I receive my iMac, they will contact me back and give me something (commercial gesture).. maybe a 100$ voucher or something.

Do the same !
 
Just received my new 27" 2.93 I7 and there's dust under the glass. :( sending it back...

This is so frustrating.....2nd time this has happened with a 27" iMac and I had a similar issue with my 24: cinema display. THe first 2 had particles under the screen.

Ha ha....you're funny! :D
 
What's funny about this???? :confused:

because obviously you are full of it. You are trying to say that Apple has shipped you at least 3 (maybe 4 now?) defective displays?

You must be one in a million baby because I highly doubt Apple has a defect rate that high.

You should have saved all your luck for playing the lottery.

Of course I'm lying you moron...I have so much to gain by making this up. You're an idiot....go get a life you troll.

BTW - they weren't defective in the traditional sense. There was dust under the glass.....

Ha ha troll.

I didn't say you were lying. I'm saying that you are crazy and are returning perfectly fine machines. I'd love to know what the employees at the Apple store you visit think of you....I'm sure you're considered 'one of those customers'

Its just sad that you need to seek out attention for yourself in this way. oh well.

Attention...oh yes...that's what I'm seeking. You said I was "full of it". That implies making something up. You started this...I was simply making a statement that you implied was some sort of fabrication to get attention. Give me a break. I made the statement to let others know my experience as well to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

I'm frustrated as hell that I've had this run of unusually bad luck. I'm not overly picky by any stretch. However, as I unwrapped the new items I was surprised to see specs under the glass. Would you accept a few white dust particles under the glass of your iMac? Maybe...

We have 8 macs in our home between my wife (1), myself (2), our 4 kids (1) each and an old iMac used as a iTunes server for whole house audio. My in-laws recently bought a 27" and my sister recently purchased a 24" for her office and a 27" for her home. All were without issue except the ones mentioned.

My first 2 Cinema displays were refurbed. They both had dust particles under the glass. The third was a new, non-refurbed without issue. My first 27 2.8 Core i7 was a refurb. The replacement was also a refurb and had no issues.

I left the country for a week and came back to Apple's announcement of the new 2.93 Core i7. Apple graciously offered me the option to upgrade to a new 2.93 i7 machine without any restocking fees. I figured it would be a good option. Upon receipt of the new machine today, I was shocked to see the same problem for the 4th time especially since the new iMac was not a refurb. If you want pics...let me know. Then tell me if you'd "let it go" or want it right.

As a Apple shareholder and someone who loves the brand, I was concerned about a widespread QC issue.

There were several people with dust under the screen of the IP4 phones. Mine is perfect. Same with some iPad customers. No issue there either. Stuff happens.

Unfortunately, I had a disproportionate amount of the same issue. No reason to imply anything beyond that. I've also had a disproportionate amount of good luck in most aspects of my life....far more important than this issue.

Your remarks were without merit and nothing positive could have come from it.

Have a nice evening.

Ha ha....oh boy you sure showed me! :D

OK pal...you got me. I made it all up just for your benefit. I also made up Apple's antenna issue as well. Man, nothing gets by you...you're really sharp! :eek:
