Is this the longest shipment track?

Anyway - already in love with it.... update later...
 
Thank you dronus for investing the time when you should not have to. Very noble of you.

Howdy RaySpotter, check out the aussie waiting thread for my latest adventures. I totally sympathise with you - its one thing to be jerked around by apple but its a whole new level when they do nothing to help you when you bring it to their attention.

I hope it works out for you in the end, the battle to buy a mac is not over!
 
I haven't check back on this thread since I got mine almost 2 weeks ago, but I just want to say the wait is worth it. Truly a work of art. I often find myself glancing at it through out the day just to admire it.
 
****i7 received this morning :D ****

Ordered about 10pm on 17th November, so just 5 working days to be delivered (I'm in the UK) - whoohooo.

Will have to wait until I finish work before I can get it out of its box :(

WTF, I can only assume you don't have AppleCare or anything else that would make it 'Merge in Transit GB'?

...Waiting for i7 from 11/11.
 
i7 iMac, 2TB, 4GB

Ordered mine on the 5th of November.

It has been a painful wait but UPS confirm that it is on the van for a delivery today. I begged the day off work and I'm sat here like a goon waiting. Please oh please be a good one......AND HURRY UP UPS!!

It should be delivered today, ending two and a half weeks of anticipation and dread. I'll believe it when I see it. Even then I may not believe it. :p

I'm hoping for no damage.
 
Oh god...I envy all you guys who received their i7!

Ordered mine through a reseller 26th of October. They said it is coming from the Netherlands directly (I`m Swiss) but yeah no order status change. The reseller said that it can be anything from two weeks till next year :(

My Macbook Pro is slowly dying so I might have to go out and rent a replacement or buy another machine in the meantime. God almost been a month since I ordered it and still no details. I`m almost close to just switch back to Windows :(

I too have a tiny feeling of dread regarding damage...

Did you get a better deal from the reseller? My Français is a little rusty but I'm pretty sure it says 5 to 7 business days to shipping at the Swiss Apple Online Store. Could you cancel with the reseller and reorder directly from Apple?

I'm really sorry to hear you've been waiting so long. :(
 
Nov 25, 2009 7:43 AM On FedEx vehicle for delivery
LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, MD

My hearts's racing. Now it won't get here soon enough. It's due here by 10:30am. It's been on the truck for over an hour. FedEx where are you? And yuck, it's cold and raining. Can't play tomorrow, cooking for 10 including 5 of my 10 Grandchildren. Anticipation is making me wait. Anyone remember that song? Hint, Carly Simon.
Update - JUST ARRIVED!!!!!!

Well, despite the reports that popped up on all the Mac sites about potentially widespread DOAs and cracked screens I can't recall seeing too many folks in this thread reporting such issues.

Mine was perfect out of the box and is still going strong at 7 hours and counting. Now I keep waiting for the display to start flickering or something.

Best of luck but I don't think you'll need it. Enjoy. :)
 
Mine shipped yesterday - 25/11 11am from Sydney, and has just touched down in Brisbane - just after midnight 26/11. Woo Hoo, will be out for delivery tomorrow. So fricken excited.

Well not really, only about $40 but my point was that they have some extremely knowledgeable people working there. It also is my photography equipment supplier...I thought it is good to have someone on my side that you can actually reach by phone that knows what he/she is talking about unlike Apple support lol

My mate ordered it last week and will probably get it before I do...while I can appreciate that Apple wants to make the most profit (I want to do that too) I don`t think the way all this is handled is great business...in the end I`m also an Apple customer.

Ah well been like that the whole year...had to wait for everything. You think you should get used to it....NOT

I was in the same situation, had ordered trough a reseller. I decided to cancel, and order directly from Apple.

Because of some Uni-discount I didn't even know about, I ended up saving money. And got a proper order (instead of having to ask the reseller every now and then if they have heard something), delivery should be somewhere around 7-10.dec. Order date 24.nov.

The order site at Apple says "Fast shipping", so that's what I am hoping for.


Oh, I got the i5. And this will be my first Mac.

Well canceling is not really an option anymore. If I cancel now I probably wouldn`t get it much faster...just hope they will receive couple of units soon. To add to that, I don`t want to risk the business relation I have with my photography supplier. It`s not their fault that they don`t get the machines.

Oh god you ordered yesterday and you`ll get it in like 2 weeks...I hope that it will be the same for me.

I see why you'd keep that order. But I got the feeling that the reseller I had chosen didn't expect any i5's before january. I pre-ordered with them 28.oct.
 
Ordered my i7 Nov 24 - FedEx tracking says delivery tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day). Do they deliver on holidays?

Got the basic 4Gb RAM, and ordered 8Gb more from Crucial. I plan on running some serious Cinema 4D and After Effects. Any other 3D motion graphics people using new iMac out there?

I can hardly sit still!!!
 
I ordered a 27 today with Core i7 Apple says it will be delivered on 14 December......I hope it arrives for that day and especially not having any problems

Hey guys, im happy to join this thread!
Stayed at home all summer while the rest of my family was on vacation in the States, was gonna buy the previous gen one but thanks to this website i decided to way, and i was about to die in agony when they finally released the new ones...
Then i waited a bit more for the i7 to start shipping.
Anyways, ordered my i7 along with a remote on sunday 22nd and it says that the delivery is expected between the 9th and the 14th of december.

I have a few questions though,
Reading here, i saw that some people got their machines much faster than that, so should i expect it to get here before the estimated delivery dates or no?
Second the shipping method says "Merge In Tnst NL Til " what does that mean? does it mean that both packages (the imac and the remote) will merge at some point during the way?
And finally, do you guys reckon the fact i ordered a remote with it will make the delivery take longer?

Thanks for the answers! i just can't bare the wait anymore! my productivity has lowered 100 percent since sunday evening! and my ibook g4, although still running strong really wants a little 27" pal..
