I also ordered on 12/30 - still showing "ships 7 business days - delivers Jan 28-Feb 1" on my end - this is my first ever Mac - VERY frustrating and disappointed with the lack of communication coming from Apple. I called last Friday and was told that it would be going to 'prepared for shipment' status over the weekend - well, here it is Wednesday, and nothing has changed.

Same here.
It looks like there are many of us in the same exact situation.
If any of you get another delay email or news in general please post them ASAP.

Thanks.
I'm checking the status refreshing every 15-30 seconds....
 
Just got the call. 3-4 week delay. I'm going to push for some type of free upgrade. This is getting a little ridiculous.
 
ordered mine Jan 24 with a ship date of Feb 16

ordered mine Jan 24 with a ship date of Feb 16. It seems as though when i receive my imac, it will be almost out of date. It will have been out 5 months already. Might as well wait for the 2nd gen one eh?

I sort of need it because i need some hard drive space. I'm still using my 1 gen macbook pro with a 100 gig hd; that is nothing now a days! Maybe i should just upgrade my hd space and wait eh?
 
Looks like you be doing that for a couple of days! Apple usually sends out the delay emails 2 days after the shipped date has past.

It looks like I've been doing it for the past 10 days! Maybe they forgot to send me that special email that said FedEx missed me for those 2 minutes I was taking a quick but necessary dump.. I'll just keep refreshing the page, thanks...

Based on your post, if I were you I'd buy an external hard drive, they are so cheap these days. In the future you can use it as a Time Machine Drive, which is very handy. Think of 1TB USB2 for $200 top. Everything else, less space, less money.
PS: I'm not expecting anything new before April-May for the iMacs. Refer to the Buyer's guide for that, it's usullay not too far off.

I've upgraded my hard drive in my 1st gen Macbook Pro 4 times (each time upgrading when a larger drive became available, currently sporting a 640GB), and I've taking it apart probably 10 times for various reasons, removing the drive and replacing it with the stock drive so that Apple would fix the logic board under Apple Care. It's easy if you get the right tools, have a somewhat steady hand, and know how to follow directions.

I'm with you feeling like by the time I get my iMac it will be out dated. I've been dealing with this for 2 months now, and that is a long time in computers. Apple usually bumps computer specs every 6-8 months.
 
i7 ordered on 4th Jan

Original Shipping Date : 19th Jan
Deliver :21st Jan

dalayed to
Shipping Date : 7 business days
Deliver : 1st FEB

delay again
Shipping Date : unknown!! 3-4 weeks!!!
Deliver : unknown!! 3-4 weeks!!!

have called Hotline and no one can help!! just told me to wait or refund!!!!

when should i expect to get my computer? 2012?
 
just wonder anyone ordered on 4thJan got shipping notice?

I ordered mine on Jan 4th and got it on the 19th. Which seems odd since some of the posters here ordered before me. I sent it back 2 days ago for a refund. It had screen flicker and blackouts.
 
I am also on the list of those who must wait longer...


I ordered mine on the 28th of dec and was just told it will be at least another week, which makes it 5 weeks for the order date. I was originally told that it will take three to four. I'm guessing it will take 6 to 8 weeks:mad:

It's really killing me, this is a very long wait.
 
Hey guys, just wondering

Is there any delivery company that delivers the packages faster than others? UPS, TNT, DHL

Mine will be delivered by UPS.
 
I've (re)ordered my i5 last night (waited first to see what the apple iPad was all about) so I'm curious when I will eventually receive the machine. Then again personally Apple may take all its time needed if this mean I will get a good machine.

I just got the phone call by APPLE

mine was supposed to deliver last week and now push back to 1MAR

so what do you think?

That it seems I will get a great birthday present this year :)

Really what is the alternative ? Having dodgy machines that some of us may replace n times to finally get a "good" one ? Seems to be a bigger bother then waiting some longer for getting (probably) a good machine from the first try.
 
So I woke up this morning to a changed status on my order. It says prepared for shipment but the ship date is now Feb 11th and delivers on the 16th! Curses!
 
For the Dec 30th club

I got a change in my order page today:

Prepared for shipment
Ships Feb 11th
Delivers Feb 16th


Would it be a non-faulty one since it comes home in 3 weeks? Only God/Apple knows.
Also: if it's prepared for shipment, why not shipping today bitch??
 
Told yesterday that my i7 was shipped and estimated delivery 3rd feb.
I checked on apple.ie and estimated delivery is 29th (tomorrow)!
Check UPC tranking and all that says is that it was collected and taken to there distribution area in Shanghai.
Would i be foolish to think it will be here tomorrow?

Anyone?

Plus, wasn't there a site that allowed us to track our shippment, besides the apple store?

They are all the same ship! They all provide online tracking.

UPS drivers tend to pass the speed limit more than the other companies and they use military jets to fly the packages.

Maybe not. They collect the data by the last scan (airport). It's probably in the air right now. I would trust the Apple website. Don't get too hyped up though.
