Ah that's insane, hoping I can get in on it next time. Cheers to those who managed to get an order in!

@Porterhouse Thank you! I went ahead and got the monthly coverage from the getgo to get support as long as I can. Waiting to see about the refurbished MKB I ordered to be my case!
@tekchic Yup! Space Gray as ordered. I hope yours changes as soon as possible from reserved to shipped!
@thadoggfather I agree! Silver is classic Apple. To be honest, when I see Apple products, at least the iPads and MacBooks and whatnot, I expect to see silver first. In fact, I even want silver, but as you mentioned, for the price we all got this for Space Gray is a completely minute detail.

Thanks for posting all the pics, @rhinosrcool! It looks fantastic! When did you order/when did you get a shipping notice? I'm still in that weirdo "Reserved" limbo, even though it says "Get it by tomorrow" (HA). For both mkb and iPad.
Nice! I ordered both around 6pm on the 18th, but still no shipping, just "Reserved" and "Get it tomorrow". We'll see what it says tomorrow, haha 
It's been a ride though!

Mines from the 18th too. Still no update. Maybe tomorrow!
Well, I got my “Delayed” emails. We’ll see if that’s progress or if they’re just on their way to cancelled. Fingers crossed.
We’ll see if that’s progress or if they’re just on their way to cancelled. Fingers crossed.I ordered an 11” MKB on the 19th. No movement yet.Well, I got my “Delayed” emails.
My 11” MKB refurb is working beautifully with my 11” 2021 that arrived today
Nice! Any movement on your BB iPad? Does it say delayed? You got your order in 4 days before I managed to snag one. Starting to lose hope that they'll be able to fulfill the orders they took. :/
nothing.
Losing hope too but they said June 1st or something when I spoke to chat and that my order wouldn’t be cancelled
I will take both with a big grain of salt
Same. My "delayed" email says the order will be cancelled on Jun 9th, but I was hoping to chat with them to make sure the order doesn't auto-cancel then. I'm happy to wait (well, a little impatiently, haha) if it's actually going to eventually ship. I still love my 11" Pro 2018.
No updates here, but next week I plan to get on a chat w/BestBuy to request that my 2 orders (kb/iPad) don't auto cancel (if that's possible). I'm fine to wait if it will arrive in the next 2 months (ugh)... just don't want them canceling the order for either MKB or iPad. Wish we knew more at this point. :/
Of course you’re fine with, but they’re not.
Hey, they made the price, I just got lucky with the checkoutOf course you’re fine with, but they’re not.
I'll wait if it means fire sale pricing haha!Hopefully we all see a slew of shipment confirmations appear soon enough. All it is at this point is a waiting game for the next 2-3 weeks (depending when the latest last order was made). We'll either see none, some, or all of the remaining delayed orders ship. Aside from possible lack of inventory, they know how much money they are missing out at the steep discounts they gave.
@tekchic If they put that price, then as you said, its on them. However, if more people ordered than they expected, then yeah they may try to let most get cancelled, which unfortunately they can do. 😅

Talked to Best Buy chat this morning - because it's a refurb, they have no idea when it will be back in stock. They did say that if I haven't gotten it by Jun 5th (ha ha, thinking it won't be here by then), to contact them again and they'll extend the cancellation. So I guess I'll just keep contacting them every week or so to stretch out the cancellation. 🤞
lol the $450 listing is back
Best Buy trolling

At this point, I do not get their game. It was always sold out at that ridiculous $1039 price too. So.Weird.
I think if it ever does ship I’m gonna just flip mine
Same with the 12.9 keyboards to put a dent in my recent bill
I’ve gotten sucked into the m1 11” which I also got a killer deal on, though not as killer as this of course. Still for a brand new product the discount was considerable
was completely undecided originally and still will give it a test drive but I think I’m digging a different size after 4 years with 2017 12.9
I know I know, different body. But still
