Where is this coming from? I'm right down the road in Mebane and mine is shipping Fedex. Been stuck in China a few days though. Probably be delivered in another three days or so, I hope.

Ireland.

Mine just shipped from Shanghai - no ETA yet. It can't get here fast enough - a 15" screen just doesn't cut it for me anymore.

My BTO i7, 1TB SSD shipped today with a 8/24 delivery date. Ordered 8/9, originally slated for delivery between 9/1-9/8.

I've been sitting on the idea of ordering for over a week, but my 2014 iMac is feeling its age a little bit these days, especially with doing a lot more virtualization. I always waffle over the build specs. I was telling myself with all the cloud storage these days, I can't imagine needing more than 1TB but... who knows what 5-6 years from now I'll be doing so I splurged on 2TB. I have a shipping date of Sept 9-16.

What’s going on with UPS from China? Anyone else getting very slow movement? Shipped on the 12th from Shanghai and is only in Japan as of this morning.

Same situation with Fedex. Shipped on the 12th from Shanghai and hasn't moved.

I’m jealous! Still nothing for me!

You and I are in the exact same boat (literally maybe?), down to the config, date, and delivery estimates.

same here ? I emailed UPS but I’m not expecting a prompt response so I’ll just be waiting and waiting...

Follow up: Order left Shanghai yesterday and was leaving me on "In Transit" with no delivery date, took a quick stop in Alaska this morning, and is now in Kentucky. Order is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow (Aug 17).... and so is my desk! So VESA mount iMac will be affixed to the desk tomorrow, big delivery day.

Follow up to the follow up: Well, sorry to everyone stuck in Kentucky, mine made it out and is Out for Delivery today in NYC!

I ordered on the 6th and order still says processing, but Apple just took their money. Order status page is odd, I see 2 iMac's. Hopefully it updates to shipping/shipped today.

I'm wondering if they are letting things sit from out of country for a couple days due to COViD19....that's the only thing that makes any sense to me....patience. Prime has spoiled us.

Mine is on the same flight as yours, UPS109, headed to Anchorage. From there, probably to Louisville to be imported. And then, out to wherever you are.

Ok, first iMac ordered 8/6 arrived today 8/17!!! Setting up now!

Second one ordered 8/9 arriving Friday 8/21, hopefully the date sticks. Want to do some gaming with the kids this weekend!

Adding 128GB from OWC to both.

Both were the same config, first one was $3519 and the second one was $3719 as seen below.

My custom iMac continues its old world tour of Europe. Cork to Shannon to Dublin to Cologne, Germany, and now he's been parked in Stansted, England, for about 14 hours. Hopefully he soon hops on a flight across the pond, but I doubt Apple's initial delivery date of the 19th here in San Diego. It's since been changed to In Transit for several days.
