Just out of curiosity, what country are you in, Dvtch?

We in Japan and Australia seem to be getting the biggest shaft at the moment.

I'm in Italy, ordered i5 base configuration thorugh business apple store online November 13th. Not yet shipped, Ships: November. I'll get angry if it doesn't at least SHIP next week. They don't offer us expedited shipping so the package takes something like 7 working days to get here (cool huh?)
 
I ordered the 10th nov, it shipped yesterday the 21th of nov, estimated delivery to me in Sweden 01.12.2009...

i7, 8Gb ram, 1Tb disc..
 
Yep apparently i am getting express shipping or something, not that it really matters after a month!

I saw your next post too, i hope you dont have the screen issues and everything works out for the best :)
Just checked my status then, still at not yet shipped. I hope it changes soon so that it makes this next shipment.

Cheers. Saw your posts in the Aussie thread. Your story reads like a bad dream you can't wake up from mate! Seriously, you couldn't make it up if you tried!

Note to self: Never pre-order anything from :apple:!

No need to make anything up, sounds iike apple are doing enough of that! :)
 
Finally somes news for me!
My iMac was shipped on the 14th. A whole week after, it is now at the "NL Distribution Center" to be merged with the Apple Remote.
How long did it take for you guys between the iMac arriving at the NL Distribution Center and you having a UPS tracking number?

getting the shaft

We in Japan and Australia seem to be getting the biggest shaft at the moment.

Nope Good old USA here and they couldn't be driving the shaft any further. Ordered 10/28 and they went from don't have a idea too don't know too Don't care too too its back ordered lol too don't you have anything better too do too why are you still an apple customer don't go away mad just go away! So no its not just Japan or Australia its pretty much an international gang bang by Apple. Looks like we bite the apple and got the maggots! Thanks for the love Apple!

PS I like getting kissed before I get F--ked
 
Yay mine is in shipment now, I ordered it 7 days 12 hours ago.

The website says it will be here (UK) by 4th Dec, but the email said "We expect your order to be delivered to your shipping address on or before 01.12.2009", but I'm hoping these are worst case scenarios. I'm praying it can be here during this coming working week :D
 
you could get a serious beating! coming here posting that lol
Well enjoy the computer! My hate is not for the lucky ones but the ones who bestow the pain upon us!

:-D I've no clue why they sent it so fast. Thanks :) And I hope you all will get your imacs soon too
 
the quad cores are now shipping 5-7 days on apple store instead 7-10. My i7 is 2 hours away from me but I don't get it until Tuesday :(
 
So I ordered mine on the 15th Nov. i7 with 8gb. Got a shipping email. Shipped 21st for delivery before 1st. My birthday is 27th so it'll miss that. But yay. Fingers crossed it's not a lemon.
 
Still no iMac

Pre-ordered on 26th October, iMac 27" i5, bog standard. University discount, paid using barclaycard promotion. Many cAlls to customer (do not)care.
Came back home to Cardiff for weekend at popped into Apple store. I asked if I couuld pick my iMac up there and then after explaining my sob story. No luck though and I walked out empty handed :-(
So depressing. I played with one and they said they had plenty of stock!
I couldn't cancel my online order (apparently) as I'd paid using their finance deal?! They said they couldn't do anything to help!
I could cry!
I know I'm not alone, but jeeeeeezzzzzzz!
 
Mines in the air somewhere, kinda surprised it hasn't landed yet.

Mine's finally moving!
Don't know why it was stuck in Shanghai for 3 days!
Estimated delivery date is 24/11. That will mean four working days to ship, if there are no more delays. Not too bad considering I had 2-3 day shipping :confused:
 
I7, 2TB, Order Nov 11, Estimated delivery Nov 24
Will not be long now, it has departed Memphis, TN
 
It only took 2 days to make it from China. Ordered the 2nd shipped on the 16th, and received it on the 18th.

Powered it up, followed the onscreen, then restored a timemachine.

iTunes and Aperture didn't work. redownloaded iTunes but my version of Aperture doesn't work on snow leopard. All other applications work just fine.

It is running nice and quick. The kids are enjoying my old 24 inch white one.

That's pretty quick. I wonder how you managed that. I paid for the 2-3 day shipping and will have it on Monday, but would've been nice if it showed up in two days after shipping like yours!
 
The tracking said it would arrive on the 19th then I got a missed delivery note on the 18th so picked it up from FedEx later that day.

I live North of Syracuse NY and really don't get quick shipping. I was really surprised that it came a day early.

Shanghai -- Anchorage -- Memphis -- Syracuse -- Watertown... 2 days.
 
Just checked back with the UPS site. It looks like there's activity, if not movement, after almost three days of nothing.

There was a second departure scan Sunday Nov. 22 at 04:09 AM, in Shanghai. That's Saturday Nov. 21 at 3:09 PM Toronto time.

If the shipment actually leaves Shanghai this time, it could arrive in Kentucky by Sunday morning. Maybe the shipment will arrive in Toronto by Tuesday instead of Thursday. Maybe even Monday after all? :(
 
A little update, ordered 14 Nov (night in Singapore, morning in US) and as of now it's Prepared for Shipment. Hopefully the apple customer service is right, I'll be getting it by wednesday (shipping in Singapore is much more pain free, proximity to China and small country)

yeah mine has some movement as well finally, after sitting in Shanghai for 3 days. I assume 'hub scan' following the departure scan means it is currently in the air? Not sure it will go straight through to mt hope, since the usual thing seems to be to stop over at anchorage?
Or maybe its different with express postage.
Anyway as I live in Hamilton if the flight lands there on Sunday I might possibly get it on Monday, yay!
Expected delivery date is still showing as Tues 24th though.
 
I ordered a standard i7 on the 17th, paid by wire transfer and got a confirmation on the 18th.

Shipping date: 3rd of December. In the email, nor on the order status page does it say 'estimated'.

At the moment of my order the estimated delay before shipping was 7-10 working days, 10 working days from the 18th of November is exactly the 3rd of December. On the same day the estimated shipping delay went to 5-7 days.

Also, a lot of people who have ordered only a few days before me (between the twelfth and fiteenth) have had their orders shipped in about 7-10 days (not even working days).

Is there any chance it will be shipped before 3rd of december? Even though it doesn't say 'estimated' - as opposed to the estimated delivery date of the 9th of December?

My guess (and fear ;) - but I guess it's only fair - though I made the mistake of ordering at a reseller in October first, so I've been waiting quite some time as well :p) is that Apple decided to put all new orders on hold until December, to get rid of their backlog of orders supposed to ship in November.

Yeah, this was the working theory since I see an entire separate thread here for Australians with the "Not Yet Shipping" Blues. However, I've since come to realize it's just a total crapshoot. Some order and get shipping the next day while others are waiting since October with no updates.

Hope you get yours soon. I'm halfway through a 3-day holiday weekend here (Labor Thanksgiving Day) so I don't expect to see any updates until Tuesday the earliest.

It's been a long time since I lived back home in the states. Do UPS/FedEx ship on Thanksgiving? You'll be up against that this week if yours actually gets shipped.
