TNT in Holland.
Now you'll be able to track your package using the TNT website instead.
Just canceled my order over the phone. I'm going to attempt to pick one up in a store. I have a feeling I'm shooting myself in the foot... damn impatience.
Mine reached "Final Destination" as well today, so that means it should be out for delivery at the start of next week. I really hope so as this wait is driving me nuts in this day and age where we seem to be able to order so many things over the web and get them within a day or two.
I was actually on the fence as to whether I should order my 24" iMac online or just keep on trying to find on locally which was obviously my first choice.
so two days ago I called my local Apple store and the girl told me to keep calling every day at 12:30 because that's when their truck came. so I called yesterday and bingo! they had to left and she held one for me.

Man, I hope this changes! (iMac 24 with 2.8 and Wireless KB/M). I think Apple is making me pay for taking the 2.4 and making it a 2.8 and not paying their ram prices Seriously though, is the wireless keyboard to blame for this huge wait time?

Seriously though, is the wireless keyboard to blame for this huge wait time?Mine is now sitting in memphis. So... It could get here tomorrow (if they ship it overnight) otherwise it will be here on Monday. What sucks is that it will arrive in my city on Saturday night / Sunday morning, but I won't be able to pick it up or anything
Oh well.. I waited this long, what's another few days?

I ordered my 24" 2.8GHz, CTO / 750GB HD, Wireless Mouse last wednesday, 8/8 through a local Mac only retailer. When I ordered the Apple site said 3-5 days, but, alas, it still has not shipped! I'm quite disappointed. I hope it's not like when I ordered my Macbook Pro which took 6 weeks to get. I have a feeling it would already be here if I had ordered directly from the Apple web store.
Dang! I'm anxious to see this controversial glossy screen. My office has windows on the south wall and the iMac will sit on desk against the west wall.

Yep, it definitely is. Before I ordered mine, (by phone) I configured one with the wireless keyboard on the online store and it said it would ship in like 3 weeks or something, so I went with the wired keyboard instead.
Mine arrive in Boston this morning. And of course no weekend Fedex delivery, so I have to wait until Monday. If it hadn't of sat aroudn a full day in Shanghai doing nothing...
If it hadn't of sat aroudn a full day in Shanghai doing nothing...Mine is sitting three hours away in a FedEX sorting facility right now. They won't let me pick it up because it's against policy. Also, they won't deliver it to my local FedEX place until after hours tonight. Meaning all day sunday it will be sitting about two miles away from me... I hate FedEX.

If you selected ground and it's going to a residence, then Apple sends it by way of FedEx Home Delivery and this service does deliver on Saturdays.
The Apple Store in Jacksonville (2.5 hours drive one way) just got some more 24" 2.4 ghz iMacs in and they'll put one on hold for me until closing tonight. I have a 2.8 24" on order and I am sooooo tempted to just go with the 2.4 ghz. The only glitch is the drive (I have a tricky schedule today) and they don't have the Canon printer that I want so I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the printer promotion deal...and I would be downgrading from what I had originally decided on (but I've been on the fence about that anyway). Crap. What to do.....
Same situation here...retail orders must get lower priority than others
I called the store this morning and they told me the order now has a "pick number"? Which the salesman told me means it will now be built and shipped within 5-7 days.
Boy, it just pisses me off the way Apple treats their retail partners as second class citizens! Why should they care who sells it? The store has an Apple web site they order it from. What's the difference.
I have my 20" 2.4Ghz iMac ordered through Best Buy Canada's website. Decided to go with them because I got $50 off for preordering. I also signed up for a best buy credit card, which the first purchase with it is 10% off... so I'll end up saving about $230. Plus I have 3 months to pay for it with no interest
Just the waiting game sucks... the website says "Preorder - August 28", so hopefully I'll get it around September 1st.

So, when did you place your order? Before the announcement by Jobs?
This is another reason I enjoy the services of UPS. They let me pick stuff up at the local hub.
Yeah so does our UPS. I've been able to pick things up at FedEX before... But they are claiming that even though it is in their warehouse, it hasn't actually "checked in" yet... and it won't check in until Monday morning, right before they put it on the delivery truck. I want to know how much money this company wastes...
Well, I wonder sometimes too. How's this...
I live in Avon, Colorado. My package goes from Shanghai to Anchorage to Indiana. Then, it flies to Denver.
If you're keeping track, we've past my apartment once already.
Then, it gets TRUCKED to Eagle, Colorado which is west of Avon, Colorado.
If you're keeping track, the stupid FedEx package has passed my place TWICE now!
This just doesn't seem efficient! For quite some time, FedEx used a "hub and spoke" tactic where everything went through Memphis. Now it appears they are straying from this a little bit. I assume this is why UPS is often a day ahead of FedEx in most areas.
Update (830pm Eastern Sat 18)
Status: "International Shipment Release" -- Anchorage, Alaska
It's cleared customs in Alaska!!! I should see it here in Atlanta in the next day or so. More updates to come.
Anyone in Canada? Whats your status? Also, what would be better to order from? Apple.ca, or bestbuy-futureshop? after hearing all of this waiting times, it might be faster to order mine from a different place. But then I can't get Iwork...
