Waiting for 27" Quad to SHIP thread

Very fast shipping, or just optimistic?

I ordered the i7 on 01/14/10.

I got the email and it says: Ships Jan 29, Delivery Feb 3, Standard shipping.

Is that pretty fast shipping? Cause on the website they said "5 business days", but here are only 3 or 4 business days (depending on how you count) between Jan 29 and Feb 3.

Anyhow, I wonder what week I'll get - presumably not older than week 3 considering I ordered on 01/14/10... unless they reach back into the dusty attic to pull out an old grody one especially for me, yellow from all the pissing attic cats did on the screen... bleh. Crossing my fingers that I get a brand new one just after they fixed all the problems with including Old Yeller.

LOL!! loved that one old corpse! it made me laugh hard!

I really hope that they'll leave the iMac 27" with the "Ultimate Piss edition" for souvenir, or a paper wait. Just to you, me, and everyone else to recieve a perfect one!
 
They are still shipping week 2

Mine just shipped.

It will probably have the yellow screen as well.
 
just got mine this morning...ran the dead pixel test and the yellow screen test...no problems..looks perfect so far..currently migrating all my apps and data over..should be online late tonight and we'll take it from here..the only word I have so far is "Stunning!" I ordered an I7 with 8 gig 2T and I'm really pleased thus far..btw..mine is week 3 2010

Nice to hear.
 
My imac was shipped Friday for delivery today (as it was a replacement for my 24" it was shipped priority).

I received the machine and it's in perfect working condition. I checked the standard stuff, no dead pixiels, no yellowing, etc. I do hear the harddrive but it's not knocking or clicking and it's for sure more quiet than my seagate backup.

I didn't expect this much of a difference in the 27" vs the 24" screen, but man, you can REALLY see the change. It's massive. I'm digging it, hopefully the worst is behind us for the 27"'s.

Good luck on your new macs!

heiii!! 2 iMac 27" in perfect condition in a row?!! well...that's a first timer lolol. but damn good to ear it. See Jim, maybe it turns out not to be so bad after all :D
 
Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow: currently it's in Korea (for some reason). I have my doubts.
 
Ordered mine from our local mac shop and they told me that it would take three to 4 weeks. I ordered it on the 29th dec. They tell me it should be here next week, fingers crossed. Glad to hear that people are getting good screens I really hope it's perfect.

Any issues with heat? I live in a very hot place and a little worried about it, any advice?

Weirdly, no. It still hasn't shipped and yet I haven't been notified of any delay, either. I think the 18th is safely past now, whichever timezone they're working off! :(

that's quite weird indeed. have they forgot to refresh the status?

maybe you better send them an email or a call to ask

I don't want to 'make a fuss' as it were, but I think firing off an email to the sales guy (ordered via Business store) will be justified if it doesn't move by this afternoon.

On the one hand, I need the damn iMac. On the other, if they really have been trying to resolve some past issues (idk, waiting for a new batch of screens or something) then waiting a few extra days will be well worth it.

Meep! I'm bad at waiting for things. My posting statistics would correlate perfectly to when I've ordered each of my Macs ;)
 
Ordered yesterday, scheduled to ship 1st Feb with a 10th Feb arrival. Should arrive before the 10th, judging from past speeds.

i hear ya.

i'm also bad at waiting for things lolol, i guess it's a common feeling when waiting for apple stuff to arrive, even more when it's my first time ordering online. also didn't bother to send an email to the local apple store (online only), to ask questions. lol

28th Jan is still so far away :(
 
i ordered mine on 4 Jan

the machines suppose to ship today and deliever on 21Jan but no luck and now it change to

Ships: 7 business days
Delivers: 01/02/2010

i'm wonder how come it take so long while i'm in Hong Kong and the machine is build in Shanghai......

Yeah, I'm very pleased it has shipped. Now I get to watch it clock up more air miles than I probably have in a lifetime!

Week 2 by the looks of the serial number on the invoice. Deep breath.

So yours has shipped and you had an original scheduled ship date of Jan 18th? What is your configuration if you don't mind me asking? My original scheduled ship date was January 14th (delayed 7 business days), and I'm still waiting for any kind of movement. My config is 27" i7/1TB/4GB

Hope you get a good one.
