I don't know where you got the specs from 27in 3.4 i7?

2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 is on the apple store for 3 business day 
delivery :)

I am sure some of the local guys should also be able to help :)

 Hi Rod,
 
 I note the Apple store is currently showing 27” iMac delivery as:
 
 Estimated Ship: 5-7 business days for the 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 
 standard model, and
 Estimated Ship: 7-10 business days for the 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 standard 
 model
 
 
 For what its worth, I succumbed to the urge when Apple had their recent TGI 
 Friday annual special. I didn’t go for a 2TB drive but I did go for the i7 
 processor (so another build to order). My experience was:
 
 • Order placed with Apple online store on 27/11/09 – at the time of 
 finalising the order it was showing:
 Ships:  7-10 business days
 Delivers:   within 2-5 business days (after shipment) by Standard Shipping
 ie they were suggesting a final delivery date of 9–15 business days after 
 order
 
 • The Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email then advised:
 Ships:  11/12/2009
 Delivers:   17/12/2009
  ie they were predicting shipping at 10 business days and delivery 4 business 
 days after shipping.
 
 • The Apple Store Shipment Notification email then advised:
 Shipment Date:  01/12/2009
 Delivers By:08/12/2009
 Ie actual shipment date (Tuesday) was only 2 business days after order 
 (Friday) and they were predicting delivery 5 business days after shipping.
 
 The iMac was actually delivered around 9am yesterday morning (Tuesday 
 08/12/2009) as promised. The TNT tracking suggests that delivery could have 
 been earlier but there was some delay in Sydney:
 
 08 Dec 2009 10:30:00 Albany Shipment Delivered In Good Condition. 
 08 Dec 2009 06:58:30 Perth Out For Delivery. 
 07 Dec 2009 12:16:34 Perth Onforwarded For Delivery 
 06 Dec 2009 10:00:11 Sydney Shipment In Transit. 
 04 Dec 2009 18:00:00 Sydney Delay. Recovery Action Underway 
 02 Dec 2009 09:15:47 Pudong International Airport Shipment In 
 Transit. 
 02 Dec 2009 01:55:36 Pudong International Airport Shipment 
 Received At Transit Point. 
 01 Dec 2009 23:02:00 Shanghai Shipment In Transit. 
 01 Dec 2009 22:39:49 Shanghai Shipment In Transit. 
 
 Of course, just because this was my experience doesn’t guarantee similar for 
 you but, so far, my experience with Apples delivery has been terrific:
 
 Previous 24” iMac ordered in the 2007 TGI Friday annual special:
 • Order placed with Apple online store on 29/11/07 (at 11pm Thursday - it was 
 Friday 30th in Sydney) – at the time of finalising the order it was showing:
 Ships By:29/11/2007 - 30/11/2007 
 Delivers By:30/11/2007 - 04/12/2007 
 Actual Delivery:morning of Tuesday 04/12/2007 – 2 business days after 
 ordering!! (Obviously this was in stock in Sydney rather than shipping from 
 China!)
 
 
 Other items ordered in this years TGI Friday annual special:
 
 Photoshop elements, Bento, Mobile Me Family Pack – all three items separately 
 shipped but with same delivery/timescale:
 Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email advice:
Ordered:27/11/2009
 Ships:   within 24 hours
 Delivers:   30/11/2009 - 02/12/2009
 Actual Delivery:
Shipment Date:  30/11/2009
 Delivery Date: 02/12/2009
 
 HP PHOTOSMART B109A 
 Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email advice:
Ordered:  27/11/2009
Ships:  18/12/2009
 Delivers:   22/12/2009
 Actual Delivery:
Shipment Date:  04/12/2009
 Delivery Date: 08/12/2009
 
 So, for me, Apple have made a habit of under-promising and over-delivering 
 when it comes to efficient shipping.
 
 Of course, your mileage may vary.
 
 
 Cheers

Hi Paul et al,

I made a similar order as you and it¹s also been delayed in Pudong since the
2nd... So we¹re all in the same boat/aeroplane or perhaps it¹s not even on
the plane yet.

Re: New iMac wanted

[Stuart Evans]

Hi Rod,

I¹d love to drop down your chimney and help out! However...

We¹ve had 27² iMacs on order for 4 weeks. After our initial orders went out
the door we haven¹t had any since. I don¹ think anyone has them at the
minute.  
Don¹t believe the 3-5 days on the Apple store either. One of my customers
ordered and then got a message saying the delivery would be delayed.
Your supplier may well get them at the same time as anyone else. Just ask
them for updates.

P.S. Don¹t forget to delete your emails in case the kids snoop!   ;-)



Regards,
Stuart

Re: New iMac wanted

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Rod,

I note the Apple store is currently showing 27² iMac delivery as:

Estimated Ship: 5-7 business days for the 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
standard model, and
Estimated Ship: 7-10 business days for the 2.66GHz Intel Core i5
standard model


For what its worth, I succumbed to the urge when Apple had their recent TGI
Friday annual special. I didn¹t go for a 2TB drive but I did go for the i7
processor (so another build to order). My experience was:

€ Order placed with Apple online store on 27/11/09 ­ at the time of
finalising the order it was showing:
Ships:  7-10 business days
Delivers:   within 2-5 business days (after shipment) by Standard
Shipping
ie they were suggesting a final delivery date of 9­15 business days after
order

€ The Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email then advised:
Ships:  11/12/2009
Delivers:   17/12/2009
 ie they were predicting shipping at 10 business days and delivery 4
business days after shipping.

€ The Apple Store Shipment Notification email then advised:
Shipment Date:  01/12/2009
Delivers By:08/12/2009
Ie actual shipment date (Tuesday) was only 2 business days after order
(Friday) and they were predicting delivery 5 business days after shipping.

The iMac was actually delivered around 9am yesterday morning (Tuesday
08/12/2009) as promised. The TNT tracking suggests that delivery could have
been earlier but there was some delay in Sydney:

08 Dec 2009 10:30:00 Albany Shipment Delivered In Good
Condition. 
08 Dec 2009 06:58:30 Perth Out For Delivery.
07 Dec 2009 12:16:34 Perth Onforwarded For Delivery
06 Dec 2009 10:00:11 Sydney Shipment In Transit.
04 Dec 2009 18:00:00 Sydney Delay. Recovery Action Underway
02 Dec 2009 09:15:47 Pudong International Airport Shipment In
Transit. 
02 Dec 2009 01:55:36 Pudong International Airport Shipment
Received At Transit Point.
01 Dec 2009 23:02:00 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.
01 Dec 2009 22:39:49 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.

Of course, just because this was my experience doesn¹t guarantee similar for
you but, so far, my experience with Apples delivery has been terrific:

Previous 24² iMac ordered in the 2007 TGI Friday annual special:
€ Order placed with Apple online store on 29/11/07 (at 11pm Thursday - it
was Friday 30th in Sydney) ­ at the time of finalising the order it was
showing:
Ships By:29/11/2007 - 30/11/2007
Delivers By:30/11/2007 - 04/12/2007
Actual Delivery:morning of Tuesday 04/12/2007 ­ 2 business days after
ordering!! (Obviously this was in stock in Sydney rather than shipping from
China!)


Other items ordered in this years TGI Friday annual special:

Photoshop elements, Bento, Mobile Me Family Pack ­ all three items
separately shipped but with same delivery/timescale:
Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email advice:
Ordered:27/11/2009
Ships:   within 24 hours
Delivers:   30/11/2009 - 02/12/2009
Actual Delivery:
Shipment Date:  30/11/2009
Delivery Date: 02/12/2009

HP PHOTOSMART B109A
Apple Store Order Acknowledgment email advice:
Ordered:  27/11/2009
Ships:  18/12/2009
Delivers:   22/12/2009
Actual Delivery:
Shipment Date:  04/12/2009
Delivery Date: 08/12/2009

So, for me, Apple have made a habit of under-promising and over-delivering
when it comes to efficient shipping.

Of course, your mileage may vary.


Cheers
