Main difference between europe and the us

Edit: When check my order through the danish store, I'm still told "Not yet shipped", but when I check it through the american it says "Prepared for shipping", very strange, It probably comes down to the slowness of the danish store

I have the exact same thing. I have "not yet shipped" on my finnish site, but on the american it says "prepared for shipping". I even have pics (or it didn't happen).

edit: It's the i7 model.

Same for me comparing the Swiss and the US Apple Stores...

At least something is happening! ;)
 
Anybody in UK ordered iMac i7 or i5 on the 4 November, and got "prepared for shipment" or even have a tracking number ?
 
Weird, Apple tells me my i7 will be delivered on the 16th but FedEx tells me the 13th. I have 2 day shipping and I'm sure Fedex knows better now that it is in their hands.

Also, even though I have a tracking number and it left Shanghai 8 hours ago, my bank account still has not been charged.

I live in the Midwest USA.

Just ordered my i7 here in Japan today (11/11) and fully expect to wait several weeks before it finally gets here. The order page still shows "Shipping in November". I ordered it with the wired US English (BTO option here in Japan) keyboard with the numberpad.

I did check out a Core 2 Duo 27-inch machine at a store here and the screen was a thing of beauty! I'm really looking forward to taking delivery. :)
 
I thought I should have ordered it the day it was released too but it doesn't seem to change anything...

Order on 23.10.09 and it seems to be prepared for the shipment, hopefully it'll be shipped this week... ;) I can't wait to have it!

Bambooisland: Is your order prepared for shipment too (On the US Apple Store)?

Even on the US Apple Store same status :mad:
 
My standard i5 now has the status "prepared for shipment".. I also ordered a Time Capsule, remote and printer.. because they ship it all in once, I'm thinking maybe my order is already somewhere in Europe. I ordered October 21st and only this morning my status changed.. So I'm hoping that maybe I'll get my order before or right after the weekend.. We'll see when I get a tracking number.

Haven't seen anyone one UK based who's ordered that recently post anything positive.

Seen a couple of UK 20th/21st Oct (me included) now have shipped status.
 
How do you guys do that ? I use FireFox and when I login to my account under Apple UK, it actually shows that I am on Apple US. I tried the same on Apple US and of course I am still on Apple US under my account. The URLs of both sites are the same when I check my order.

Download the widget "Junecloud Delivery Status" from Apple.com, or Google it ;)
When you have done so, you type your order number, let it update the delivery status, then double click on your order in the Widget window, it will take you to the american store. This only works if you're using a Mac
You could also try and go to Apple.com, then go to account and choose order status, then type in your order number.
This works regardless of your OS
 
Dang - I'm in the Uk and ordered a stock i7 same day as you (albeit 3 hours later) and nothing. Only can see a 'prepared for shipment' via the US store.
:mad:

EDIT !!!!!!!

Just checked UK site and it SAYS SHIPPED 11th for delivery 17th!

AT LAST!

i7 on it's way to the UK (ordered 21st Oct)

Now my UK delivery has changed to 13th - this Friday for my i7 ordered on the 20th. AWESOMENESS.
 
Ordered the 27" i7 with 8GB RAM on the 20th at 4:30ish PST and I just got my shipment notification with an expected delivery date of the 17th (I chose standard) by 4:30 pm via FEDEX.
 
NEW ZEALAND Time 12 Nov, 12:42am

Have been following this thread very closely too and it seems like the status of my iMac has just turned "Prepared for shipment"!
Now.. how can I sleep with all this excitement?! :D

Specs:
27" iMac Core i7, 2TB, 4GB memory (wil upgrade to 8gb myself)
Order placed on Oct 23, 2009 at 01:48 AM PST
 
ok got shipping info from apple email i7 shipped on 11 delivery on the 18 not sure if this the first aussie one but im excited
 
Prepared for shipment as of first thing this morning- i7 to the UK! however i'm sure i'm going to get bored of the prepared for shipment message. At the moment though i can even check my order status all i get is this when trying to view it anyone got the same?:

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Online Store
