Mate, we live in a third world country. I have never once had the courier arrive on time. Was scheduled for 10am - 11am delivery today which has not arrived. No truck tracking on the DPD website, of course. Called the depot they said it was delivered and signed for (obviously not). Wouldn't mind waiting until tomorrow but knowing DPD the package can go missing for days.
Yeah, the yellow tint comes up with just about every iPad and iPhone release. Most of the time it's not a big deal. Sometimes people say it's due to the glue not having fully cured (dried or something, idk), and it clears up over time. Also, with the True Tone display, the screen adjusts to the ambient light, so sometimes it will appear warmer (leans toward orange or yellow) or cooler (leans toward blue): I think that True Tone might be adjustable (or maybe you can switch it off) in Settings. We'll be seeing lots of threads soon regarding issues with the new iPads to sort through.
So my 12.9 shipped out of China this morning and it's saying delivery for Friday. I have a hard time believing that. In the past I swear even though it's international it's usually much quicker. Thoughts?

Trutone: You can switch it off in settings. No fine adjustments I can see, just an on / off switch.
UPS sent a link to a tracker (that is in Beta) ...shows a map with approximate street location of the truck. I do not see a way to get to it from their website.
Mine got here at 10:05 this morning. I'll open it and set it up for Mrs AFB later this evening.
7:30pm local and still not here. Are you kidding me? Good that I took the day off...
12 hours with courier.

Mine got here an hour ago 
In Ottawa, Ontario, ordered an hour or so after the keynote. Initially said it was going to be delivered tomorrow but then it updated last night to say it would be delivered today.

Got the same thing, but strangely my iPad originated in Oakland, California and flew to Louisville, Kentucky even though I'm in Arizona?
That's insane! Would you believe me if I told you that originated in Louisville, Kentucky, even though I'm pretty close to Oakland?
Mine is now sitting at a UPS facility about 10 minutes from my home. I might give them a call to see if I can swing by and pick it up today.
Finally some movement! My credit card got charged and my iPad is "Preparing for Shipment"! What is really strange is that the original delivery date was scheduled for June 16th and now it's slated to be delivered on June 21st
. I hope that changes to an earlier date.
UPS is usually here before noon. I just checked my door, and there was a note on it. Evidently, they attempted delivery a short time ago. I was on a conference call using noise canceling headphones. Had counted on my corgi (who ALWAYS goes wild when someone's at the door) to alert me. Darn!

Same here on tracking. You can tell it is beta because sometimes it looks like the movement makes sense, and other times it bounces back and forth between the same 2 spots over a mile apart.
Mine's sitting for me at home, unfortunately I am stuck at work Look forward to tinkering with it later!

"A technical issue has been encountered with the vehicle preventing an immediate delivery attempt to be made."
Can't remember last time I was so angry. I get this message after:
- I took a day off.
- waited for 11 hours basically in front of the door
- got the update as late as possible so I couldn't call customer support
- not being here tomorrow
- Thursday being a vacation day
- therefore getting it friday
- preordering the first second after the store came online.
- knowing it was available Saturday in a store near my location
F*ck off Apple & DHL

My Corgi is also posted on doorbell watch today. Extra snacks if deploys.
