I don't think that you can walk into an Apple store and purchase a stock nMP; perhaps the same will apply to iMac Pro.
I've got a delivery date of the 27th December - only showed up this morning - really pleased - I thought I'd missed the boat with everyone else receiving a delivery date of the 27th December 24 hours prior to my notification.
Well excited.

Has yours had the departure scan yet? I've been looking at flight tracking sites since mine did but I have no idea what the normal routing would be and the only UPS flights I can see heading anywhere towards the UK are going to Dubai to start with (there are actually two UPS aircraft almost in formation over Nagpur in India, a 747 and an MD-11), but I have no idea whether mine is on either of those as it may be that it's not actually on a flight at all yet. I guess time will tell! Sadly I'll be away the next couple of days so only checking things on the mobile, but the parcel tracking app is reporting everything correctly from UPS so I should be able to see if any new entries pop up.
Kinda pathetic, innit?
If only those of us in Commonwealth countries (Australia here) didn't have Boxing Day, we'd get it on the 26th. Oh well.
Don't forget to give your servant a box.
I finally got a date on the delivery, & it looks as if someone the times didn't update. It did sit for 16 hours before catching a flight to AK. It's nice that it will arrive Christmas Day by the end of the day!
I'm likewise showing a late afternoon Christmas day delivery, too — although the UPS Holiday Schedule indicates that, with the exception of "UPS Express Critical service", they don't deliver on Christmas. So color me skeptical for now — it's better than getting all giddy over the prospects of an early arrival.
I saw that too. I'll call up & check. If they do deliver, I have to change it back to delivery vs pickup as they definitely won't be open for pickup on the 25th.
nice ! v nice. How are the speakers compared to the normal imac (if you had)
it is loud under some load? are you happy ? after 1 day of use?
I've had the departure scan and I'm just down the road from you!

Mine sat for a day and a half in Shanghai after export clearance before it finally departed, which is frustrating but probably normal as they're pretty busy this time of year. Let's hope Santa brings you a special Christmas day gift!

Hi there delivery buddy! Well, I can now confirm that mine was on one of those flights I was monitoring, as it's recently showing arrival scan at Dubai! So yours will most likely be going the same way. If it was on one of those two flights you should see the arrival scan soon and it could well be that ours will both be on the same flight onwards or at least two flights close together. I don't know where it will go next, ideally London (especially handy for you) but possibly Germany first as UPS have a major hub there. Sadly I'll be on the road shortly so unless there are any more updates in the next hour or so I won't see them until later in the day. Still, good news that my special Christmas gift to myself has made it half way!

I'm actually just down the M3 from you! I'm just getting error messages from the status page now, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to obsess around delivery. Thanks for the updates
Just as well I'm not getting before Christmas as I don't think me hiding away in my home office would go down too well with the family!
EDIT: Just left Dubai

Small world! I'm near Micheldever. Yes mine updated to show leaving Dubai too so they're probably packed in side by side. If they deliver both of them to my place by mistake I'll let you know.A

Mine's still in Alaska through clearance, but I just got a delivery exception notice...probably related to not delivering on Christmas, which was a given. I noticed UPS is way behind on updates too.
Arrived in Cologne 17:45. Nearly here! Just wondering whether it will go any further before Christmas now. As it's not due delivery till the 27th it's clearly going to stop somewhere, maybe it will have a merry Deutsche Weihnacht.
Same here. In Alaska and has gone through clearance. UPS had been showing a Tuesday delivery date but now says scheduled delivery date is not available.
Mine just arrived in Seattle. Didn't expect any movement today so I feel like a kid tracking Santa's Sleigh. I doubt there are any late delivery trucks heading out tonight but now Mon/Tues are seeming plausible. I take few breaks during the year -- and rarely are those at home on the computer -- so being a few days ahead of schedule buys me lots of enjoyment.

It snowing in Seattle at this time. 2 to 3" and VERY icy out there. I got stuck but had some help getting pushed so I could get home. UPS/FedEx will be in similar situation tomorrow and next day for sure.
I was about 5 mins after launch & had the Vega 64 & trackpad...custom build delay. It took 2 days to get out for preparing for shipment...it actually updated the night of day 2. Christmas may be slowing things down, though.
It didn't - still in Cologne. Hopefully it will start moving again tomorrow.
Oh, and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to everyone, even to those who already have their iMac Pro! I'm not jealous, honest.
Looks like customs was the main hold-up over Christmas day, not unreasonably - it's just completed the import scan for entry into Germany/EU a day and a half after landing.
