its Early but I figured since Apple ships these so weird having a thread can help.
I originally ordered one from Best Buy, but decided I wanted to try and do the student discount so I cancelled it. But then the ship date for Apple changed very quickly, so I went back to Best Buy and... its not shipping until the 13th.
Anyone have any idea of other stores that sell Apple Pencils? B&H photo offers preorder, but doesn’t say when they will ship it.
I can’t remember when I worked at Best Buy if we had extras to sell for people who waited in line.

Maybe a Target? I think your best bet would be to try an Apple Store or Best Buy though. They should both have launch day stock.
That's what I was thinking. I am upset at myself for cancelling my order. I think I'll stop by my local Best Buy and get there at opening. For the life of me I can't remember when I worked there if we had extra stock as I worked in TVs and did Customer Service, not computers and tablets, ironically. lol

I have an order from Apple Store that's Nov 24th - Nov 27th delivery. I also ordered from BHPhoto yesterday, it says "Backordered" today though but shipping when in stock Nov 7th. We'll see.

I'm picking up my SmartFolio on release day from the Apple Store near me, and am planning to ask them for a Pencil when I'm there just in case they have a few in stock. Looks like Pencil's going to be a pain in the butt to find again this time around unless you preordered right after the keynote. :(

I had better luck at Best Buy in 2015, (got it on release day) but it was a fluke kind of, cause I did in-store pickup, but it only showed up just for 1 minute so I was able to grab one. I figure the Apple Store will be far too busy and crowded even if I got there early.
