Delays on new Powermacs?
I ordered my dual 1.25 on the 3rd and it was supposed to ship no later than the 10th. Well i get an email today that says it won't ship till the 20th now! I went and checked back with their website and the exact computer I bought says "1-3 day shipping". What gives?? Has anybody else gotten this, or their new computers?
and the waiting continues....
and the waiting continues....

I ended up cancelling my order and buying a machine from a local reseller, who had already had them in for a couple of days. I can't really say that I have ever had a smooth or on-time experience with the Apple Store online, for the higher margins Apple gets from online sales I thought they would be a little more responsive. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
Chill out, you will get your machine...

<strong>Ok an update for anyone who cares... According to two reps. the dual 1.25s have not shipped to anyone yet (even though they list a 1-2 day wait time). There is a huge backorder that they hope to START shipping next week.

Are you serious? I read about that many users got their dual 1.25 PowerMac already, mostly are stock machine and some BTO. Are you talking about tose who ordered from AppleStore got the delay? Looks like I should drive 4hrs to Seattle and buy the stock machine in store. I want it BTO.
<strong>Frankly, I will never order from the online apple store ever again, I think I will deal with smalldog and the like next time.

Yeah so true, an apple supervisor upgraded my shipping free but still no clue when it will even be built. Smalldog does not add in taxes either do they? Apple seriously has pissed off me and my family with this... and to think we have 7 macs in the house (not counting the IIGS, LC3, or SE30).

Yesterday I called them and they were saying that they have a shortage of components and that there is a delay on these machines.... heck if its not going to be built tomorrow - I'm canceling my order and going down to a local dealer to get the stock machine - Apple really need to sort their act out!

Are they small?
Qué un turbación! :eek:
I'm about to lose the waiting game, and go crazy.
<strong>Still waiting for my BTO 1.25 with superdrive. I ordered it over two weeks ago and I really hope i don't get another email saying "Sorry, but your computer will not ship until 2/??/0?". I should know by the 20th, two long days away.

Same configuration as mine. Unfortunately they are having supply problems with one of the components. I talked to 3 supervisors today and they upgraded my shipping to next day air for free. I think the A05 may be what we are waiting on either that or the processor (we all know how good MOT is at things). I doubt the Airport Extream cards are what is holding it up because that one card is used in 3 product lines and would mean a lot of angry customers! You'll get the email its being delayed again on 2/21/03 and they should be able to tell you when you will get your computer by Friday. They are shooting for production to start again ASAP (next week probibly) and if you ordered around 2/1/03 (when the backorder began) it should be assembeled soon after they get the parts. They currently have 3+ weeks of backorder on them and a lot of people are mad. If you can get ahold of the supervisor Penny she was helpful in telling me what was going on and upgrading my shipping.

Errr...I'm gonna call bullshit on the reps for this one. My local CompUSA has had them in stock for over a week. Same with the strip down GHz model.

One very important difference, the outrageously delayed models described in this thread have the superdrive! The stock dual 1.25 and single 1 do not contain the superdrive. All three of the delayed ones here were BTO with the superdrive, not to mention stores get more stock priority then individuals

No man, I was ordering the combo drive BTO with a GeForce4 MX instead of the Radeon 9000 - I'm so sorry I did though.... why does Apple always have to bungle these things?......

I probably won't see my PowerMac for a good two weeks - but who's waiting?
ME!!!

<strong>I just ordered a Dual 1.25Ghz from my local Apple dealer here in Australia. They were saying that there is a shortage on the Superdrives. This is what is causing all the orders with Superdrives to be slow.

I feel for you but it will probibly be longer then two weeks. For instance I ordered on 2/1 it has now been delayed until 2/25 from an inital quote of 2/13. They have 3 weeks of backorder on em so I have a feeling it might be closer to 3-4 weeks or so Ben, sorry to be the bearer of bad news Im going to call Apple today and see if there is any new news.
