Dear Sir,
Regarding you order and your email, I inform you that the assembly schedule time for your Imac is a full 25 working days from date of order.
The delivery time is about 3-4 working days.

Who wants their regards when they give shitty news? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
That means that mine will arrive about 16th FEB for God Sake.
When did you order yours Jimdad?
Don't tell me that Apple are fulfilling retailers before direct order customers. You'll all be telling me next that Dixons and PC World have them to buy off the shelf.

UK iMac launch 'two weeks off'
By Jonny Evans
The first of Apple's recently announced iMacs, the 800MHz SuperDrive-toting model, is unlikely to ship until mid-February, sources claim.
The high-end iMac is already available in the US. Apple received 150,000 pre-orders for the machine in the three weeks following its announcement. However, the Macs are produced in Taiwan, where local supplier Quanta has been contracted to manufacture 100,000 units per month.
The level of demand led Apple CFO Fred Anderson to warn: "It will take most of the quarter to ramp-up the manufacturing of the new iMacs, so we're not likely to meet expected demand during the quarter."
Apple Europe said: "Apple is still waiting to announce shipment dates for iMac in Europe."
A straw poll of resellers suggests that the top-end iMacs won't reach this country until mid-February at the earliest. Apple's mid- and low-end iMac shipment dates will be staggered, reflecting the US model.
They are still reckoning on getting them in about Tuesday and shifting them with extra memory hopefully by next Friday. Seems like a long time.
Keep me informed of any developments!
i just don't have the money to buy one. THAT is sad....
Some good news
Not <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" /> <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />
Have spoken to Apple UK and Ireland today and been told that I WILL NOT HAVE my machine BEFORE MARCH 1st. That takes into account a 4 day shipping. This means that if Im lucky I'll have Friday 1st if not most likely the following week.
I wish I wasn't saving with the education store otherwise I'd cut my losses and hang on to get one "off the shelf" <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
I have also ordered mine through the University's preferred education supplier and I have been told today they are shipping this week and I should have mine next week.
I ordered on 14/1/02 with no machine extras as I have got an extra 512mb RAM from Crucial.com that I will fit myself.
I just hope it's true.
