11-days and still waiting for my replacement i5, Apple completed the RMA on Dec 30. My estimated ship date is Jan 13. Checking the order status so often, my behavior begins to resemble a compulsive disorder.
 
Yeah, I agree. Also I ordered mine on December 30th and estimated delivery is January 19th, how does a 2 week ship time equal almost 3 weeks? I know New Years was in there but that's one day. Oh well.

Ships in 2 weeks, not delivered in 2 weeks. I assume you have the same Jan 14th ship / Jan 19th deliver dates as I have, as I also ordered my replacement Dec. 30th.

I am hoping they are still shipping a few days early.

Here's to hoping we get problem free iMacs, else I for one am throwing in the towel. There is no excuse for all these problems.
 
Ordered on the 23rd. Still waiting...

UPS said it would be delivered tomorrow, for like... 5 days.

Then it doesn't say exception, and show Wednesday, my expected delivery date just disappeared off the page. It's no longer there...

So I call. She tells me the Tuesday delivery date was probably an error.

How do they get away with that? EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I've ordered something shipped by UPS I always get told that my delivery date was an error.

GRRRRR!
 
I am one of those that is impatiently waiting. I ordered mine on the 29th of dec and told it will take three or four weeks, but I know that it is more likely 6 to 8 weeks so end of feb..... that is a really long time. I hope I don't have the problems that are described above, that would be a real bummer.
 
I ordered my i7 on the 23rd.

Shipped on the 5th (was due to ship on the 8th)

It is currently 'Preparing handover to final carrier' on the Apple store status page.

I guess it might arrive this week. (Estimated to deliver on the 18th)

Not sure if this causes it to take longer, but I ordered a MDP-DVI connector at the same time!
 
your one lucky guy

i ordered mine i7 on Dec 30th
it said ships jan 14th
and it is still showing ships jan 14th
and it shows not yet shipped .. not even prepared for shipping

damn apple why u dont like me LOL

Hopefully we get bouth our iMac's at the same time.

guessing Apple doesn't like me either. That or they still searching for Portugal in a map, or google earth lolol :D
 
Status has gone back to 'In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule'.

I wonder if it will now go to UPS for delivery.

Oh yeah, that does make sense. I redact.
 
Got the 'Order processing' email from Apple today, replacement iMac dude to land on January 29th, hoping I have a reformed character :D
 
Add me to the list.

My 24" imac took it's 5th trip to the service center this morning. I'd had enough. Called Apple, asked what the chances of a replacement were. Next thing I know they are setting up the replacement. However since they no longer offer the 24" imac, they are sending me a 27" with the Radeon 4850 graphics. Hopefully that'll ship shortly!
