OK - did Apple hook us all up with overnight delivery? Sure seems so. God I couldn't love them more. AND, while I've spent most of my time here & on the 'waiting' thread, my quick glances indicate these i7's are exceeding expectations.
When it arrives, I'm going to let it come to room temp while I take a shower. Maybe put on some perfume for the unboxing ceremony.
and all of my ridiculous posts about this have taken me out of forum newbie status![]()

Are you frickin kidding me?! I thought maybe some sort of flight disaster happened so I clicked into this thread only to find out it's about hyper-anticipation for iMac deliveries.

I have received many items before the delivery date from FedEx and many from Apple. In fact I have a FedEx account and many of my shipments are delivered ahead of schedule.
Most of the people on this thread originally had a Friday delivery date but due to a delay in China they changed it to Monday. However, the units are now positioned to allow for overnight delivery and I am sure many will be delivered tomorrow and in line with the original date of 11/13.
I don't think Apple allows for pickup until at least one delivery attempt.

I am very happy to say that I was wrong. It was delivered today at 9:30.

"hyper-anticipation"... doens't begin to cover this thread and the other monster of 3000+ responses. This thread is about true survival and the tedious work of finding our flight with 255 iMac's on board. First a delay in Shanghai that took hours to find and then the almost impossible job of finding out if that plane that just left was "our" plane. The story is a gripping one about people who care, people who are Apple fans, prople who know that FedEx will do the right thing.... but most of all people who are NUTS....![]()

It really is. It makes me wish I still wrote for TUAW, because this would make an amazing editorial about what separates Apple fans (er, crazies) from other mega gadget fans. I mean seriously, I've been buying Apple stuff for years -- I'm a pretty fanatical Apple user -- but I've never done a BTO thing so this was my first FedEx stalking.
It was not only fun -- it was also proof of how I would never, ever find a community of computer users who would do this for any other brand. Cars? Yes. Audio equipment? Possibly. Computers? No.
God we all need therapy. I say we start doing group sessions over iChat!
