Ordered new iMac 2017, what's your ETA?

My iMac was shipped! Original delivery date was August first. Then August 2nd. Now August 3rd bec I opted to have it shipped to the ups store 0.3 miles away from my home. I can literally walk there (and do quite often) in under five minutes. Oy vey

My card was authorized on Saturday morning. No updates to order status yet. Delivery window 5-9. Hoping I get lucky with delivery on the 4th since I'm not working and I don't think they deliver over the weekend.
 
My card got charged Saturday morning... so some progress has been made.
i7/575/512SSD. Ordered July 18, est time of arrival Aug 15
 
Typing this on my new iMac.

Ordered July 4, delivered today. (i7, 580, 512 GB)

It's very silent. Fans have spun up a few times while setting everything up, but nothing annoying so far. It's big though. Really big (used to 24"). Like it so far!

Mine is currently out for delivery. Watching the door like a hawk so they don't pull that "no one was home" crap.

I saw a pre-authorization on my card this morning. Hopefully this is some good news regarding shipping, but bad news that I just received notice from work that I need to go out of town next week so I'll be gone when it arrives.

Now I don't even have a delivery date. I have no clue what is going on...I've never run into issues like this with a shipment from Apple. :(

I got that charge over a week ago and it rolled off my card. I think that even though funds are available the preauthorization is still in effect (depends on your banking institution). Based on what I'm reading it looks like their quoted time is fairly accurate. So I'm anticipating either a few days before or on the quoted date of Aug 10th. Reconciling myself to a month wait on my iMac. LOL can't wait for this wait time to be over.

Ordered Thursday 7/27, charged 7/29, preparing for shipment 7/31. Quoted delivery window 8/5-8/9. Hoping for the early end of that window. (USA)

Are these wait times typical for a BTO or is the iMac selling well?

It appears it's mainly just due to a shortage of the 512GB SSD. Most other BTO configurations have been shipping within 1-2 weeks of ordering which is typical for a new release.
