iMac shipping status?

iPhone Shuffle said:
I just received an e-mail from Apple informing me that my order on the 16th shipped. The only concern I have is that the FedEx tracking shows that it's coming from Rancho Cordova instead of China... Isn't that where the defective products are shipped? :confused: Is Apple trying to pass off refurbished units (dead/stuck pixels, etc) as new iMacs or am I just being paranoid? Is anyone else getting an iMac shipped from this warehouse?

Date/Time Aug 25, 2007 3:12 PM
Activity Picked up
Location RANCHO CORDOVA, CA

Hope the rest of you get your iMacs soon!

Hi iPhone, lucky you! Mine was ordered on the 16th too, which model did you get? Did your status go straight from "Not shipped yet" to "Shipped" without going through "Prepared for shipping"?

Everything (not being a computer) I bought from the online store in the past came from Rancho Cordova, but my Powerbook came from China.
 
I picked up the 24" 2.4 GHz model with base specs (i learned the hard way after upgrading the mouse and keyboard and having to cancel my first order).

My order status changed to "prepared for shipping" yesteray; I'm glad FedEx works Saturdays because it's a pretty long trek from california to Toronto :)

Don't worry about the trek from California, my VESA mount shipped on the 23rd and was already in Winnipeg the next day, should be here on Tuesday I guess. Here is what it looks like (from http://www.simpletracking.com/)

Hey my iMac was suppost to ship on the 24th when I woke up on the 25th I got a shipping thing in my e-mail from apple, so when I checked it out it says this:


Aug 25, 2007 11:33 AM Package data transmitted to FedEx

Ship date Aug 26, 2007


I thought it was suppost to ship by the 24th? And what does package data mean, do they even have my iMac or just know that there should be an iMac?

Everything I've seen shows a shipping "window" of a couple days, rather than a single ship date as you seem to be referring to, or did you have a shipping window from the 22-24th? That "package data transmitted to FedEx" shows that the shipper has been notified there's a package waiting for pickup. It'll probably update to an actual shipment today. Good luck, hope your wait is a short one.

I'm entering the second phase of waiting-for-iMac torment:
Ordered August 18th
Scheduled to ship August 27-29th
Delivery August 29th -Sept 5

Educational order, customized
20" 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
iWork '08 preinstalled
Apple wireless Mighty Mouse

Was hoping to see an early shipment, but still shows as "Not yet shipped". Damn I want this before the long holiday weekend. Already have my Airport Express and another stick of ram ready to go....
 
Yeah I had a shipped by window from the 22-24 then on the 25th is changed to shipped, but that's dumb that they say it will ship by the 24th but fedex hasn't even picked it up yet and it's the 26th!
 
My Fedex status has not changed from "Package data transmitted to FedEx"

I expected it would stay that way until Monday... Now is that Monday China time or US time?

B/c isn't it Monday in China now?

Yes, China is 12 hours ahead of us, so it would be Monday there already...congrats!

I keep getting a "Server Error in '/' Application" when I try to track there...


Is this happening with everyone else?

Works fine with me in Safari and Camino, don't forget to select the FedEx button and then to click the orange "track now" button because just hitting "enter" won't work.

I think it has something to do with my windows machine... says something about Net Framework....

lol, can't wait til my iMac comes.
 
Mine is supposed to ship out by 8/27-8/29. Still "not yet shipped" as of this am :(

Printer is on it's way, however.

For a while they were shipping out by the first day of the time frame, but lately, it's been the last day it seems (if not late). Anybody have theirs ship sooner than later recently?

I'm really hoping to get it before the holiday weekend....it would give me plenty of time to set it up, etc. Seems to take an average of 3 days to 4 max, to ship to the southeast US from what I can tell-anybody can confirm this? I'm in GA.

Fingers still crossed!!!!! :)

Same here...my printer wasn't supposed to ship until 9/18 and it shipped Saturday. Guess they got some in stock. Now if only the iMac's would ship!!!!
I called Apple yesterday to double check on the status and they said everything looked to be on schedule with no delays as long as I didn't opt for the wireless keyboard. I mentioned that I was originally going to opt for it, but I couldn't afford to have my order delayed that long. I was hoping the Apple CS would then offer to throw-in one for free, but no such luck :(

Oh well, they knocked $50.00 off the price when I originally placed the order, so maybe they think that's enough. Maybe I'll try again...couldn't hurt. :p

i need it before fri...cause monday(holiday) and tues school! so i wont be home on tues...apple comeon!
 
I ordered a 24" 2.8 iMac with 4 GB's of RAM on August 22nd. I got it with the standard wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse (I've read that can really slow down an order.)

Ordered August 22nd.
Ships by: August 29th - August 31st
Delivers by: August 31st - September 7th

As of today, August 27th, it just says "Not yet shipped", but I'm sure hoping it goes out between the 29th - 31st like it says it will.

A small update, I just now got off of the phone with Apple, to ask them about they delays with these new iMac's. He said that he's aware of the delays and that they are mostly caused by an order with a wireless keyboard. My order does not have a wireless keyboard, so he said it really should still be on track with their original ship date that they first quoted me.

Just wanted to share some info directly from the source. (Apple, that is.)

I'll let you know if it actually comes in the expected ship and arrival dates.
