2017 iPad Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

So let's speculate, at least for EU:

DHL and UPS are working early Monday Morning and use this time to transport long range ground packages (starting 0-6 o'clock). If they are in the big storage facilities now (Netherlands + czech republic) they would ship from there to more local facilities for example in Germany early tomorrow morning in that time frame. This would mean we could still get them tomorrow, right? Not sure if I got this right.

Someone with more insight?
 
I guess only if they handed over the shipments to DHL yesterday evening they will be processed regularly tonight. If you’re calculating standard shipping times for express delivery from Prague to Berlin, e.g., 6 pm yesterday was the latest time for delivery tomorrow.

Most probably they will be given to DHL tomorrow with delivery Tuesday

I sincerely hope "standaard verzending" means UPS here in Holland. DHL Express is evil, no chance to reroute to a pickup point etc, often delayed etc.

I plan to work home tuesday, hopefully Apple has its logistics under control this time.

My credit card is still at precharge (0 euros), still preparing for shipment, but delivery the 13th.

Does the fact they don't deliver on certain days preclude them from actually getting their logistics on track so packages can be delivered on promised dates?

I wouldn't think packages sit around and aren't staged for efficient delivery. However, I really have no idea how DHL works, but UPS flies and trucks every day.

In Germany trucks are not allowed to drive Sundays, so they only work within their facilities. I am now also certain they are in one of the 2 mentioned warehouses because Apple does this every time if their product isn't coming straight from China. My package was marked as shipped yesterday noon so I guess I need to wait and see early tomorrow morning if they could use the time within one of the two facilities to coordinate the shipment, which was probably already there.

Probably just wishful thinking, I know :D

Ya. Apple is very good at staging product for delivery. Good luck on a timely delivery and enjoy the newest "drug" in Apple's medicine cabinet.

Overnight my 10.5" Wi-Fi 64gb SG went from PFS to Shipped! Bound for NYC via UPS Next Day Shipping, estimated delivery June 13th.

When I click on the tracking link I get the note, "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
 
Orders are back up and mine is still processing. Dang--looking like I won't get it on Tuesday. :(
 
Bah mine might have shipped yesterday, but the tracking number still hasn't become active yet for UPS. :(
 
This is update info for you guys tracking your shipments today. My thursday order of 12.9" ipp is stuck in Processing. But delivery of its cover was scheduled for 6/13. Last night tracking showed it was in TN. For Sunday 4:30 am it is showing to be in my home town and In Transit. Past experience says it will be delivered one day early (tomorrow). This doesnt allow me to hope for one day early del for the 12" IPP. Since its del says 6/19 (Monday) no way it'll come this Friday. One can hope tho.
 
Copied from the Verizon shipping thread:

Hi, I received my device activation text and my order says shipped via Fed Ex. Next day, not sure if I'll get it tomorrow or Tuesday by 10:30 AM.

Just checked again, the ship date is 06/12 so I guess it means Tuesday by 10:30 AM.

Definitely will get my walk and morning workout done early Tuesday lol.

BTW: 10.5 Space Grey Cell 512 Gig. Dade City, FL (40 minutes north of Tampa)
 
Totally weird how this all feels like christmas when I was 8 years old. This f****** iPad is awaited so hard :oops:

I ordered with AT&T for a 12.9" Gold 256gb wifi + cellular and I'm still processing. I'm still slated to receive June 13th. Lets hope this is true and they ship tomorrow for overnight delivery!!!!
 
Yup there should be deliveries by the 12th. The stock is already in the warehouses, it's just a matter of delivery times - there will definitely be some lucky people getting it tomorrow.
 
Yesterday I got a notification that it shipped. But UPS still says "cannot locate shipment" when I click the tracking link. Still hoping for a surprise delivery tomorrow. It just says by the 13th right now.

If you have a scheduled delivery date of 6/13, you'll most likely get it on that day or maybe even tomorrow. The shipping/tracking status will probably start showing meaningful activity tonight or tomorrow. A few will have their orders show up later than expected, but most will get them on time. It's amazing how quickly things can move. Fun!

Anyone in the UK have theirs shipped yet?

Not yet, my currently shows it will deliver on June 14th, it did at one point change to the 19th but then it changed back again. Providing the delivery dates are correct they must be shipping from the UK or somewhere in the EU to get it that quick considering it is already the 11th
