Yes I found that weird as well. Its shipping from California. The only reason I can think of is that they carry them in stores now but it still took 3 days to 'build' as she said on the phone. It is a week 14 too so it would make sense it was just built.
Got a tip for us?

Good luck. Let us know how it is. Week 14 is fairly new. I dont think there's been reports of anything more recent so far.
MY week 14 came this week. Its perfect to my eyes. When I get my SLR back I will take some photos an post them
Yes! Please do. This is very encouraging to hear. Perhaps it took up to week 14 to get it right.
well I've bought my last two mac mini computers from craigslist and those experiences were good . I actually most comfortable looking for something that's been used a few months and the seller just wants to sell for whatever reason. The guy I was buying from sold to someone else which I'm pretty happy about actually because I wasn't fully comfortable going sealed route.
No other quad-core iMacs right now in DC or Baltimore on craigslist. I could get the i5 iMac from the refurbished store but it seems people are saying the i7's worth it for the extra $200 so kind of want to hold out for that. I'm going to do some more research tonight and see if the i5 could be good enough for my needs
Week 14 means that the iMac was made in the 14th week of this year. Apple has been making the new iMacs for much longer than 14 weeks. My iMac is a week 43, made in the 43rd week of last year. It arrived in flawless condition and has worked flawlessly since. Derp.
looks sweet. the only thing i can't stand is the mouse and keyboard i guess my hands are too big. the mouse makes my hand cramp up when playing poker for any extended time.
Funny, I really like it. I have the old magic mouse and keyboard with numeric pad for my mac mini. I really like the new form factor.
Thanks for this, I suspected my 2006 iMac was US, but that's great to know.
I'm so undecided about what Mac will replace my fudgy iMac...it probably won't be an iMac (weird to consider since that's all I've used for 11 years) given the issues so many have had.
I'm just too paranoid to go the route that so many here have and risk getting another problematic machine. I really hope the current gen iMacs get sorted soon. They are gorgeous and seem like a great machine.
Thursday cant come soon enough. If there is a single thing wrong with my i7 imac, i'm returning and ordering a 17" macbook pro.
Ordered a refurb I7 Imac yesterday and got it an hour agoI have an i7 iMac coming on Thursday as well too
really suprised for this very fast delivery...doing migration
right now....hopefully no issues like the I5 that i returned...
Wow that was fast! I'm guessing you live on the West Coast somewhere?
I ordered an I7 refurb last Friday and the expected delivery is Thursday. I'm really looking forward to it but I'm keeping my 2006 iMac until I'm sure there are no issues with the I7.

Is it an i7?
I hate that Im some what hoping that there is something wrong with it. Then again, I don't. I should have waited for the i7 macbook pros
would have been a cheaper route for me.Wow that was fast! I'm guessing you live on the West Coast somewhere?
