My iMac had an origin scan in Shanghai 25 hours ago, and no update in status since then. I hope that doesn't mean it's just been sitting on a shipping dock doing nothing. It's supposed to arrive on the 17th...

I'm in the same boat with my i7. What type of shipping did you have with UPS, express or expedited?
 
Alot of people would be really pi$$ed off if the retail stores started stocking the new imac before the online orders were filled. Especially this early in the piece.

Maybe they say that to get you into the store, and then say "oops ey ohh we have just run out of stock.. but if you would like to order one while you are here ey"

Interestingly the apple store phone number for tracking enquiries tells me that it is outside of normal office hours, and to call back next week. Thought it was a global number as the people who have answered my calls in the past were not in my timezone...

I promise that's what she said. Here's the number (239) 949-8860. Call for yourself. Option 5 to talk to a person in the store.

same as me BUT

its cuz its saturday in shanghai, give them a break man. Those hardworking men and women prepare my imac at 6AM in Shanghai and shipped at 7PM and last scan was about 8pm so far.
(imagine waking up at 4-5am going to work :()

Anyways, I just called up dhl and they are sure my imac will arrived at 16 nov as stated on the email. :)

Ciao, have a nice weekend, dont worry too much <3

Express. Do you know what the difference is between the two?

I'm not complaining, just hoping that there is some action that simply isn't showing up in the tracking yet. I'm pretty sure that if my iMac is still in Shanghai at this moment, it will not arrive in Calgary, Alberta by the 17th, considering that it still has to go to Alaska, then Tennessee, followed by somewhere in Ontario, then Winnipeg, and Vancouver, before finally arriving in Calgary (at least based on my past experience with UPS).

I suspect that UPS likely does have some employees working on Saturdays in China, though not necessarily the same people who work on Fridays. Does anyone know anything about their operations in China?
Whn did both of u order?
Ordered in the wee hours of the morning on Nov. 28, order number began with W654.....
 
My order W9142xxxx was placed on Oct. 28 for a 27"/i5/4GB/Num-KB/Eng-Doks, still has the following status:
Not yet shipped :(
Ships: November :eek:
 
Hell Yeah! My i7 just shipped (to Canada) with an expected delivery date of Nov. 20. Not really expedited shipping but considering what everyone else has said that doesn't surprise me. Then again the tracking information may say otherwise but I can't access it until Monday according to the email from Apple.

I ordered mine on Oct. 31 at 4:04pm and it's coming to Edmonton. I'm going to drive my wife nuts for the next week. Actually I have been since I ordered :D.
 
If anyone is interested....

Apples US homepage has been updated, and now shows "ships in 7 to 10 business days" for the i5 and i7.

That's the ticket.

My i7 still hangs at "not yet shipped"
 
The Dutch store still say November. But the US store is always the first which is updated.
Ordered mine i5 on 12 November so i hope it will ship somewhere next week.
 
Ordered i7 "basic" October 29th from the AppStore - Is shipped and is delivered monday, Monday, MONDAY.......yehaaaa

Copenhagen, Denmark ;)
Oh no - my shipment that was to be delivered monday is now an "UPS Exception". Although I do not exactly know what it means...it does not have a good sound to it...:eek:

It means the driver stopped at Dunkin Donuts to play donut poker with a few of his closest friends. He'll be back on duty tomorrow. For everyone who has packages sitting in his truck in the parking lot, they're SOL until tomorrow. :(
 
My i7 was supposed to arrive yday now i know it missed the plane out of shanghai in order to do this so im not too fussed but have you veer seen a more complicated way to get to the uk?!

Whn did both of u order?

- 27" iMac 2009, 2.66 GHz QC Core i5, 4x2GB, 120GB OCZV SSD, ATI 4850 (Ordered Nov 10, "Not Yet Shipped")
- 13" Macbook Pro Late 2009, 2.53 GHz C2D, 2x2GB, 60GB OCZV SSD
- iPhone 3GS 32GB (Black)

My first post here, since I am also waiting..sitting in sweden, and ordered on the 3rd of NOV. i7, 8gb RAM.
Rumours say that it will ship mid next week..wellwell.

But what I wonder is this: 120 GB SSD disk? In what country is THAT an option for this machine?
This option could be the reason that it is Not Yet Shipped, and nor will be..

For those who are still waiting, its likely that all orders will very shortly be fulfilled. The US apple website is now showing up as "7-10 business days" for the quad cores to be fulfilled.

And no, no changes on my order this fine morning. Still showing as "not yet shipped".
 
Do you guys think I will get my iMac on Monday?

Here is where the UPS status is at right now (going to Denmark):

Mines going to France, and was showing Monday as the delivery date until it got stuck at the brokerage stage. Now the delivery date shows as an "Exception", although this morning it's saying released, so I hope it's winging it's way here now....

Is this for your 2nd iMac ?
 
I promise that's what she said. Here's the number (239) 949-8860. Call for yourself. Option 5 to talk to a person in the store.

He's right. They had some in stock today in the Chicago burbs. I was there and saw them with my own eyes. Didn't pull the trigger though cause I like my customized one better than what was avaliable.
 
Oh no - my shipment that was to be delivered monday is now an "UPS Exception". Although I do not exactly know what it means...it does not have a good sound to it...:eek:

Mine also says "Exception".

But, I just think that happens whenever they are waiting for something/someone (another brokage firm or similar).

Does your last info item show this?:
KOELN (COLOGNE), DE 14/11/2009 9:12 PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / RELEASED BY CLEARING AGENCY. NOW IN-TRANSIT FOR DELIVERY

Look at the "NOW IN-TRANSIT FOR DELIVERY", that sounds good :)

I think that the Exception disappears as soon as the next info item appears, an arrival scan or anything really.

Thoughts?
 
Yes :eek: bad mistake, when did you order yours? mines coming to reading.

Oct 22, 2009 at 08:59 AM :( Going to have a moan at apple this morning. While I can live with a November shipping date it gets a little frustrating that they don't appear to be doing based on when your ordered.

also a little gutted.. only 20 mins from East Midlands Airport

Hope it arrives soon for you
 
I know everyone has seen this kind of post already but,

2TB 4Gb i7 Ordered through Education Store on 23rd October.

Last night I noticed that the One to One membership item was segregated in the list from the iMac and the other items. This morning however....


PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT!!

I know this isn't an actual shipment, but its progress in the right direction, hopefully shipment will happen today :). For all those still waiting. I reckon that by Sunday evening (Latest) you will have seen a change in your order status.
