One, i would need to drive 2 hours to get to an Apple Store, so with traffic and everything else i spend a day out of my schedule to get something fixed that i didn't break, it came broken right out of the box.

Okay, now this changes everything, in terms of what I wrote, because that's not what you said. You said Apple offered you to go to the retail store for an exchange. I certainly would drive 2 hours if the Apple retail store had one in stock for me to do an exchange. Okay, so now you're saying they wanted you to take it there to get it fixed? If so, then yeah, I would say no to that too. Please clarify which one is right? Take a look at your post number 6440.

Now, on a different note. I am one of the fortunate ones since I live within 20 minutes of 5 Apple retail stores, you're not quite as fortunate since you're 2 hours away, however there are people that wish Apple even had a store in their country and state as I mentioned this before. I can assure you, 2 hours plus traffic wouldn't a big deal for many.
 
I hadn't actually clicked through to see the color test... I'm not in any way saying it is... but it looks like one of those old color theory tricks that can force the mind into seeing color where there isn't.... which would be funny if true as there are tons of "I didn't really notice anything till I did the test" type remarks on forums these days. Would have been an awesome prank, if it were a prank...

Damn that's fast, I ordered on the 22th of Jan. and had no news yet on shipping (going through reseller). It shouldn't take longer, it's still the same process through the Apple store.
 
Can anybody explain this? Estimated delivery date: 2/9, Miami FL.

I get the same message, but it's in NJ not FL since I am in NY and I also have a 2/9 delivery date. I am assuming the international release paperwork has passed?
 
It was in my hometown but now says "Int'l shipment release - Anchorage, Alaska". What does that mean?

Dude that iMac should have been with you by now. Make sure the reseller doesn't sell you a machine that was refurbished And keep the original. Call them and find out your serial number and check it online for it's build week and info like that! Make sure the reseller is not screwing you over!
 
who is getting their week 6 today?

Btw, I checked my shipping status this morning and it's not in Alaska, it's in the local Fedex facility. Why they didn't deliver it today I have no idea.

Mine is a week 6 and was delivered today, a day ahead of schedule.

That would be the worst of the worst, with my macbook pro being "under repair" for over a month now.

I don't think they would do that however, my iMac has been ordered through apple store, I was there when the guy did it.

FedEx tried delivering my week 6 today - one day ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, their site didn't show it was going out for delivery until after I had already left for work. I had already planned on being home for the delivery tomorrow, so I'll just need to wait.

I found it odd it was here but wasn't being delivered as well. So I checked a few mins ago, turns out they attempted to deliver it today and no one was home at the time. I just called my house - got the DT number and Fedex said the driver will be back at the station at 5PM - which works out perfectly for me since I get out of work at 5. I'll post pictures tonight. Very excited!

Made some pression today. Forced them to do a few phone calls.

I seems I should not expect to receive my iMac 27" i7 before the 22th of Feb. Precisely 1 month to the day I ordered it.



Grrrrrrr... Still stuck with my Atari 800 lol jk

Don't forget to bring a proof of address. Did that once and had to go back the day after.
 
Can you post a screen shot of the test bars?

I would like to see if the week 6 has a new screen.

Also if you can get the model of the screen.

It is under displays in system preferences, Open the LCD color profile and scroll down to mmod of the color profile.
