heggie

the 3g store in stephens green shopping centre have one on display in the store so i'd assume they have some in stock as well.

Thanks, but tried dundrum who also have one on display and was told they're impossible to get before Christmas!

I can never understand the way apple is distributed in Ireland... Stores can't get them, yet the apple online store has plenty in stock and ready to ship in "24 hours"....


So strange

decob

Just ordered one there a few mins ago, the website was saying 3days... ended up ringing in the order. Was told 2 weeks. est delivery online is showing as 21-24th... so i'm prayin it ships early..

heggie

thanks for the info, didn't believe apples site !

pyzon

I ordered mine on the 3rd, expected delivery date is the 12/12, shipping from Shanghai.

US Apple store under refurbs just posted 24" imac alu....and 20" also....

They're available at The Apple Store on Stockton Street in San Francisco!! but I doubt that helps......

heggie

nope, it sure doesnt.

Apple let everyone down on stocks of the 24" iMacs and on alot of other items

Then they went and has a sale of the same stock on there irish store.

Still nothing due to be delivered for the next 7 days

merkuree

Apparently, they are all on the US west coast......even CompUSA has them

heggie

merkuree, stock in US is always much better than Europe, really don't see what your contribution has to do with the original request

Hope they got paid up front from CompUSA. They have just gone into liquidation.

My suggestion to you is to order it online from the Apple store, ship it and pay the taxes on import.....and quit whining.

merkuree

Yeah true, CompUSA will be gone soon.....but they are selling open box alu imacs for <$1000 for the past few days.....not a bad deal......change brings opportunity.....

what the hell are you talking about? its nothing to do with taxes, an irish resident has to order from apple ireland online, and previous poster said the date they were given for shipping. Quit thread spoiling, I couldnt care less if San Francisco or Afghanistan have apple stock, I asked about DUBLIN. Some people are just stupid i guess??

Not full of Christmas spirit today?

heggie

im not going to be told im 'whining' by some guy who hasnt got a clue whats going on

Shane O' Malley

Listen,

If you want a 24" there will be stock before Christmas for all dealers but i have not been told the exact delivery date and i know it is not going to be in the next 7 days.

heggie

good to know, thanks

merkuree

Hilarious.

You can order through the US Apple store (yep, they have stock) through the use of an IP proxy and have it shipped legally through the use of a forwarding service. You might even be able to take advantage of the 24" alu imacs on refurb through Apple that way.

Takes a little more effort and a little creative thinking....but sure better than whining about a lack of stock in Dublin. But hey what do I know? Sounds like some people here would prefer to whine on a board about things than actually come up with a creative solution.

but let's see what happens......I am sure when Dublin gets its allocation of 200, you will be the only person at christmas looking for one over there, heggie :-)

heggie

well done you're great.
