the guy at ups told me they deliver saturday if you have express shipping! if my imac is in montreal tomorrow im going to pick it up at the facility

Did he tell you the expected delivery is Monday? Mine still says: November 16 (original) and November 13 (Updated)

You can be 100% I'll pick it up in Montreal if it's here tomorrow!
 
i ordered my i5 15 mins ago...."shipping November"

oh the agony of waiting after what has felt like a lifetime of procrastinating!
 
I saved it.
Can I ask where you got it from?
I might possibly then be able to obtain one similar but for the i7 when it comes.

The folks at ifixit.com did that. They did a teardown of the 27" as soon as it was available. It's a bit hard to find on their site, so I hope they don't mind that I posted a direct link. :eek:

i just called and the guy told me not to expect my package tomorrow but will be sure delivered saturday before 1:30.
 
Now I have this added:

Nov 12, 2009 9:58 PM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK

The Shipment Notification e-mail from Apple actually had a date of 11/16, but when I logged onto their website (as well as FedEx's) the date was the 17th. Weird. It will probably be sitting in a warehouse in town all weekend. I think Saturday pickup with FedEx costs $$, but I'm not positive about that.

Wow, still *zero* update on mine. I suspect mine will soon say that it missed some fedex cuttoff by 15 mins and will spend an extra day in China. This has met all of my expectations of getting the computer, but in the bad way.

So that's funny -- how does Apple decide whether to use UPS (which apparently do Saturday delivery) or FedEx (which will not)? I paid for express shipping and so far, not so express as I can't even get an update.

I hope you guys get FedEx... UPS is full of delays... sat at the airport in China for 20 hours, then sat in Louisville for 12+ hours and now they are shipping to Hamilton instead of Toronto, causing another delay... And, I ordered express...
 
I bought my i7 iMac october 21st. through the danish Education Store, and mine was shipped yesterday before other orders made through the ordinary Apple Store. I don't think it matters whether you pay the full price or not, but I can se why this theory would make sense, but practice and theory isn't always the same.

Is that you Sebastian? :)

Has your order left China yet?

I got my shipment confirmation today and my UPS info is:
SHANGHAI, CN 12/11/2009 19:04 ORIGIN SCAN
CN 12/11/2009 6:45 BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

I have a delivery date of November 16th.

I have a hard time believing it will be here on Monday... No way they'll make that deadline.

Apple is using UPS in Canada only and FedEx in the US. Don't complain - Canadians won't be seeing i5/i7 iMacs until next week at the earliest because of the clunky customs system. As far as I know, iMacs will be going Shanghai -> Anchorage -> Louisville -> Mississauga, ON -> final destination.

Right now, all iMacs destined for Canada are sitting in Anchorage and, hopefully, will make it to Louisville today. If not, we probably won't see ours until Monday. Tuesday if you're in western Canada (which I am).
 
i just called and the guy told me not to expect my package tomorrow but will be sure delivered saturday before 1:30.

Grrrrr I just called UPS and they told me the Saturday delivery is not available on my package. I told him that someone else who ordered the same package as me from the same company got a Saturday delivery and he said not until Monday :mad:

Keep me posted with your delivery
 
So no one took advantage of the free printer after mail in rebate?
what a shame it looks nice

I grabbed the $130 middle printer option. $30AR for a wireless all-in-one is a steal. I got the printer days ago, but I'm still waiting on my i7 (ordered 11/5). The printer looks nice, but I'm afraid to open it until the iMac arrives so I haven't tried it out.
 
Trying to make this thread a little more useful for those of us still waiting to ship. Here is info I've gathered from a couple of posts. If you have anything to add please copy and paste the text below, and add to it.

Thanks! :)

Someone was also asking about the free printer... I took advantage and picked up the HP C4680. I have no need for this printer, but heck it's free.

I think I will sell my 20" iMac that I purchased in Feb 2009 and sell it as a combo with this NIB printer.

they do quit anchorage today at 3-4pm alaska time to be in louisville at 1-2am eastern time. dispatch will be done there. mine is scheduled for tomorrow but certainly wont be here before saturday.

Keep me posted with your delivery

i have express shipping and you?
 
i have express shipping and you?

Yep, I called Apple a week ago to add the printer to my order and they updated my order to free express shipping (2-3 days). I don't know what to do. A Saturday delivery would be perfect for me, I wouldn't have to drive 30 min in traffic to stop at the UPS depot. Did you say anything to the UPS rep about Saturday shipping or did you ask for it?

hope there is some aussies with better details with there tnt tracking than me when i first got my tracking number 35 hours ago it has only moved from China to Hong Kong
 
Merge In Transit ???

Just checked my shipping status and I don't understand it completely:

despatch.jpg



Now the Time Capsule and the EMEA CC- HE CONTRACT UPLIFT IMAC-INT (Applecare) appear on the same tracking number, however the actual iMac has this unclear "Merge In Transit" status attached to it with no tracking number associated with it? Ignore the iMac cancellation part of the status as this was a computer blip that a lot of us Europeans seem to have experienced.

Can anyone tell me what this actually means as at the moment all I can track is the Applecare and the Time Capsule?
