Fingers crossed. Went ahead and threw my chips in and ordered today. Was "this" close to Hakintoshing, but had memories of dealing with my jailbroken 1st gen iPhone and scrounging forums everytime I wanted to update... figured the slight extra cost was worth it this time around.... now just hoping I have a workable machine within the first two tries :D
 
holly sh***, just entered the apple order website and for the first there's been some changes!!

"order status prepared for shipment"

non the less, the shipping date continues at 28th, for the "veterans" in this wanderings, does this means that the shipping will be very soon?

:D:D:D:D yeah i know I look a kid lol

When I ordered back in November the consensus was it shipped within 24Hrs, possibly up to 48Hrs after status changed to "Prepared For Shipment". Might not be the case now and if I recall wasn't a hard and fast rule but one can hope.
 
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......

My experience almost exactly.

Ordered an i7 8GB/2TB on Jan 3. Up until yesterday it said shipping on Jan 19 with 2-3 day service arriving on Jan 25. Today there is no ship date but says it will arrive in Ottawa Feb 2-4.

What is really cheeky is that they have already charged my credit card for applecare & expedited shipping!

A phone call is in order
 
Ordered i7/8GB/1TB iMac on Jan 2. Was to ship on the 19th and deliver the 22nd. This morning the ship date has changed to 7 business days with a delivery date of Feb 1 to Feb 3.
 
Ordered mine (i7, 4GB, 2Tb) on the 6th Jan, due for shipping today 20th and arrives on the 28th. Still has 'not shipped' on the status page. I hope i dont get the extra 7 working days like some have. I've already waited 2 weeks and another week for delivery (somehow!) so to add another week would be bad form. It better not arrive faulty!
 
Prepared for Shipment - how long?

I ordered an i7, 4 GB, 1 TB on 2 Jan.
It was supposed to ship on 18 Jan, to be delivered on 22 Jan.
Status changed to "Prepared for Shipment" on 18 Jan around noon and didn't change since.
I never received a mail announcing a delay, though.

I'm hoping that, if it is being prepared for shipment that thoroughly (ca. 54 hrs as of now), it will arrive here in prime condition :rolleyes:
 
I just received my replacement and have set it up at work

It is a week 2.

I cannot test the screen out at work because I work in a brightly lit environment and the sun shines in on the display.

I will have to test it at home.

Screen had fingerprints on it.

Overall it seems quiet and everything looks to be fine.

Hopefully the display is not yellow.

The box from fedex was wet on the outside. The inside box was also wet but not too badly.
 
looks like i am back in this thread yet again, i decided to cancel a refund i was having and give another one a try... no email as of yet for an estimate
