2017 iPad Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

Tx_Geek62 said:
Ha ha - well put. I'm in the same boat - a little pissed that when I placed the order it showed "next day", only to discover it's coming on a slow boat from China, so to speak. I did call Apple - mainly just to see why it had changed. The rep was very apologetic and said I needed to be compensated for the inconvenience and $100 was credited back to my card. I don't mind waiting a few extra days for some savings!

After reading this, I tried too. I was polite but frustrated, told the Apple lady, she just kept saying she was sorry, i was not imoressed with that. Said she had no way of knowing what was causing the delivery exception, once it was in the carrier's hands it was out of Apple's. I told her it was a poor way to handle online orders from a company as big as Apple. She offered me nothing but I'm sorry. Like I said, never again. I meant I would go to a store. Apple Store is about 75 mikes away but Walmart sells iPads. Anyway, hope the $100 credit works for others.
 
Hope you get your iPPs soon. I too might have been willing to wait a week for $100.

I got my fully-loaded iPP 12.9" 512GB with wifi+ cellular plus an ASK and apple care for about USD $630 out of pocket. You won't believe how!!***

(After about 27 click bait pages, I finally tell you I have been saving credit card reward points for a long time!)

Sad that I am such a geek - but UPS flight 63 just landed at Louisville Ky and now all of the iPads will be run through the big sorting machine and placed on their respective flights for an early morning departure.
 
Cancelled my order for a 512gb LTE 12.9 and purchased (retail) a 256gb instead.

Impatience got the best of me, but it's $300 cheaper and I think 512gb may have been overkill for my use case considering most of everything is in the Cloud now.

Can't wait to get home and fire it up!

After sitting in Hong Kong for what felt like a millennium, I finally saw new movement this morning. Mine is still on track for tomorrow thankfully. Although it was supposed to come today originally. Ive never had a China Apple shipment take this long.

Exactly how long did it sit in Hong Kong? Mine has been sitting in TW (Taiwan?) for a day and a half with a msg showing Delay Beyond our Control. I talked to a clueless Apple CS lady last evening and she said its probably just not being updated and will arrive Monday as originally stated. She did not give me a warm and fuzzy!

Ummm let's see here. I think mine shipped Monday night, but that equated to Tuesday morning in China. It went from Shenzhen to Hong Kong quickly, and I believe it sat in Hong Kong all day Tuesday and Wednesday. This morning (Thursday) it finally said it was in the states.

Don't give up hope. I've definitely had international orders not update, and then all of a sudden be an hour from my house.

Thanks, that's what the Apple CS said it would do. And I can kind of see that but mine has an Exception Alert on it, every time I check I expect to hear sirens going off, LOL
 
After ordering last night, mine shipped an hour ago, iPad with DHL, Smart Cover with UPS, both from the UK to here in Ireland.

Supposed to both be here Tuesday, let's see is DHL or UPS fastest!

... i ordered mine on 6th June... Today its 15th and nothing shipped - still in progress? What happened to apple? (iPad Pro 12.9 256gb wifi)
 
Just to share, I have

12.9" iPad Pro Shenzhen -> Hong Kong -> Taiwan -> Alaska (Anchorage)
10.5" iPad Pro Bangladesh -> Chengdu -> ?

It's fascinating to see how Apple has their warehouses distributed in various places all over the world.

Yup it's stuck on export scan. It's in the middle of China, weird place to be haha. I have no idea where it's going next.

Reminds me of an old game - "Heart of China" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_China - 1991! Ahh... the golden age of video games...

Perhaps it'll get to us via Nepal -> Istanbul -> Paris? That would be pretty funny indeed....

From what I've researched, Chengdu is a main hub. Flights connect Chengdu to North America, Europe and Asia.
 
Hi All,

I ordered my 10,5 on the 5th and the status is still not processed. It should arrive 13-21 June

Same here, ordered on the 5th right after the key, still nothing, no cash movement no further details (Still processing). It just feels bad that a lot of people all around the world who ordered the goods much later already received their stuff.

And same here... Ordered a 10.5 256 SG Cellular on the 6th with delivery date 13-21 and still in progress. Living in Gothenburg, Sweden and although it's the 2nd largest city in Sweden it doesn't have an Apple Store (Stores exists in the 1st, 3rd and 7th(!) biggest citys). So I'm both a bit upset about the lack of a Store here and the delivery times from Apple.

Seems to get it on the later date rather than sooner.

I ordered the exact same model, it seems that they have problem with this model. I called them and they said that they have warehouses in the Netherlands and in the Czech republic, and once they will have them in storage the status should change. It just feels ******, 11 days..


Did anyone order 10.5 256 SG Cellular and receive it?
 
When doing in store pick up does anyone one know if you can pay in store or do you pay online? first time i'll be doing in store pick up.

Ok, Ok, Ok, after all my (paranoid, unnecessary) frustration, this morning Apple is patting me on the back with soothing words! After being stuck in a delay in Taiwan for 2 days, it has flown thru Anchorage, Memphis and is in Dallas, TX this morning, about 100 miles E of my rural area. That does have me calm this morning but I wont go all the way to Happy until it arrives in my hands on Monday as originally estimated. Course if it was UPS instead of Fedex, they would get it to me from Dallas today. But I wont expect that much
