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
Neil

Hi Rod,
I’d love to drop down your chimney and help out! However...
We’ve had 27” iMacs on order for 4 weeks. After our initial orders
went out the door we haven’t had any since. I don’ think anyone has
them at the minute.
Don’t 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. Don’t forget to delete your emails in case the kids snoop! ;-)
Regards,
Stuart
