iMac shipping status?

roland.g said:
Sadly enough :( my 24" 2.8GHz iMac 750GB HDD 1GB RAM BT MM that I ordered last Wednesday morning after cancelling my order of the same but with 2GB RAM from the night before came yesterday. Shipped standard ground on Fri - yes 2 days and arrived on Monday!! With screen issues :( So it is already on its way back to Apple, who is now telling me they may not ship my replacement till 21- 23 (Tues - Thur of next week). I am hoping it goes out quicker, but more so that there are no problems.

What screen issues may I ask? Mine showed up today and it doesnt have anydead pixels there is something on the inside of the glass in the left hand corner. I was going to send it back but now after playing with it a while im not b/c i dont even know its there. If it gets my attenion anymore I will send it back.
 
Man, these screen issues that people are having are making me paranoid. I hope mine doesn't have any issues once it gets here. It's now saying that it's in Anchorage, AK. I was under the impression that when I ordered the overnight shipping that I would get it in one day. Oh well, though. As long as it arrives and is in good shape with no issues, then I'm good. :cool:

I had dead/stuck pixels. I think they were stuck, red ones and white "hot" too. I couldn't unstick them with any of the tools. I also had odd backlight bleeding along the bottom of the screen for about 6 inches coming in from the corner. You could only see it on a black screen but I knew if I had a DVD playing or I was previewing an iMovie or FCE project full screen that anything with letterbox bars would like like a spotlight was coming out of the corner. I probably would have let the backlighting go if it didn't have the dead/stuck pixels too. That was the one thing I was worried about. Something else was weird that when I turned the brightness down it didn't get much darker. On a Powerbook it will go to black at the lowest setting. Don't know if it should do that on an iMac or not, but it didn't even get close. If anything it should get somewhat darker than it was and then at the lowest setting go dark. But I've never owned an iMac before.
 
I ordered my new iMac yesterday. I got the most basic of the basic in the iMac line. This is my first iMac ever, and I am so excited to get it!

You will love it. They are a pretty loaded system for the price.
 
Has the shipping time been improving on the imacs? I had to send my imac back because of a stuck disk and a confluence of problems, in that the imac would not boot. Now I am told it is about a 5 day wait, although they bumped my shipping to the faster version. I start school in two weeks and I need to get set up and ready for the onslaught of papers:(

Mine is in Indianapolis right now, so it will HOPEFULLY be here later on today. I'm in Southern WV, which is about 350 miles or so from Indianapolis.

Annoying as it is to wait for a new product that you bothered to order immediately it came out ... I'm not sure compromising on your desired spec is a great idea just to save a few days.

Its not likely that you will look back in a few months and think if only i had it 3 days earlier but you might look back and think if only i had waited for the spec I really wanted.

just a thought :)

I know what you mean. I guess its just frustrating that its taking so long. Looks like a shipment of them is just sitting in a Shanghai airport and not going anywhere!
 
I have:

"Ships by: Aug 20 - Aug 22
Delivers by: Aug 22 - Aug 28 "

Any chance these can show up before deliver dates? OR better yet, can they be shipped before ship date?
 
Is there any way to get more information on this - would Apple know about this if you called them?
I is annoying to see my iMac sitting in a box in the airport with no idea as to when it will move. It has been there for over 4 days now without changing status.

Put your reference number in at this site Clicky. That will give you an idea firstly of where its coming from and also give you detailed shipping info until it passes in to the hands of your local delivery agent.

This is not looking good another day in China has slipped by and still no movement. I would have expected their to be another shipment to the UK by now that TNT could have used.

The guy at TNT said to call back Thr if no updates on the Web tracker so will do that I guess. :(

My 4Gb memory upgrade is waiting its host !
 
How should i interpret this status:

13 aug 07 32 05 Flight Booked Apple Shanghai 17 aug 07
11 aug 07 30 63 handover at supplier Apple Shanghai 17 aug 07
11 aug 07 30 64 Departed from source Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai

Does ETA mean that my iMac should arrive in UK on the 17th or that the flight will depart Shanghai on the 17th??

In the vast majority of cases, ETA means the date it reaches TNT's European Distribution Centre (EDC). Then expect to wait a further 1-3 days.
 
Original Order Wed Aug 8 - am
Shipped ground Fri Aug 10
Arrived really fast Mon Aug 13

Contacted Apple Mon night re: problems, given case #
Rec'd FedEx RMA Label email Tues morning
Shipped back to Apple Tues morning
Apple releases replacement order from hold.

At this point order status for replacement says will
Ship by Aug 21 - 23
Delivery by Aug 23 - 28

1. while I know it can get here sooner than those estimates, Apple is not able to tell me when they expect it ship.

2. Apple is also not able to tell me if the order is given priority (they have no idea) b/c it is a replacement or if I am now behind all orders since last Wed that have not shipped yet, i.e. the current ship time has gone from 3-5 days to 5-7 days.

3. I understand they are doing their best to resolve it, but from my point of view my CC has been charged for my original order when it shipped. All orders since then that haven't shipped may ship ahead of my replacement and won't by charged till that time. But Apple already has my $$.

So I may end up waiting longer for my replacement than I did for my original order, all b/c of bad luck of getting a problem machine.

Should I just shut up and wait or am I at least a little bit right in being bummed about this?

FYI, I have been very nice to Apple throughout this, I am NOT one of those people who is abusive to Customer Service Reps.

Hey at least you got your shipment pretty quick the first time... after that it's just bad luck due to getting a faulty one...

My iMac and those of several other people here are still stuck in a shipment which has been at Pudong International Airport since the 12th of August. No update whatsoever as to what the problem is. I also ordered on the 8th of August btw, original delivery date 21st August, which was pushed up to 16th of August. Obviously it's not going to get here on the 16th anymore, although Apple's tracking still says the 16th.

What really gets to me is that people who ordered after the 8th of August may actually get their iMacs before I do... geez...

Join the club. That means its sitting waiting for a plane to Europe. The 17th should be the ETA to you, but its more likely to be the date its expected at their hub in Arnhem.

I think I might have mine by the end of next week and that's being optimistic now as its been waiting for a plane for 3 days now.
