Late iMac

[NewMacGuy]

I, like I'm sure many more of you, have been checking my order status on my recently purchased 20" intel iMac at least 3 times daily. I bought it the day they were released, approximately 2 hours after steve jobs had announced them at the keynote. I have been quite pumped since then. At first when I ordered it, the estimated ship time was 1-3 days but I guess when you customize your imac, like i did (added 1gig ram and 256 meg video card upgrade) it bumps the shipping time up to 3-5 days. When they finally gave me an estimated ship date, they gave it to me as yesterday, which equaled 6 days. I was still generally happy. I received an email today however, saying the following:

 

Due to an unexpected delay, we now anticipate shipping the following

item(s) as follows

 

Z0CY, IMAC 20/2.0/SD CTO

will now ship on or before Jan 25, 2006

 

We regret any inconvenience this delay may cause.

 

Now you can imagine my disappointment. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this delay and if so, did u call them to get them to ship it the quicker method for free? I was thinking of doing that. Do you think they would?

 

I hope all you mac lovers can sympothize.

Nightmare! Get in touch with them but with the weekend approaching it probably won't make any difference

Update: I called Apple customer service and without having to rant or anything, they automatically upgraded my shipping to expedited shipping since they were going to be late on my shipment. Woot!
