Got a tip for us?

I too ordered the IPP, cover and pencil. Chose store pickup for IPP and cover (glad I did). The Pencil still shows In Process. This is the first time in memory that I've had a delivery range from Apple that they did not get it to me on the first day in the list. I show 20 November - 30 November. I have my order confirmation of 3:22a Eastern on order day.
Oh well, maybe next week then......
Same - first Apple order that didn't come on the first day of the shipping window. That would have been yesterday. Still processing.
Same situation here. Its offically the 20th acording to all my devices, still processing, they dident even bill me for it. I'll be so much happier once they bill me and ship it out, even more so once i get it. Im dying to use my ipad pro for the one reason i bought it for...TO DRAW!
GET IT TOGETHER APPLE!
GET IT TOGETHER APPLE!
Mine has been in status "preparing for shipping" for more that 24h now. Is that how it usually is?
I keep thinking surely we'll some sort of movement. Unless these things work themselves out over thew weekend, I bet we won't see any shipping activity until Monday.
Thankfully a super, extraordinarily generous member of this forum picked one up for me in stores yesterday & it's coming via USPS tomorrow. I'm gonna keep this order as a backup though.

Kinda pissed. I waited 58 days to get the Space Black Apple Watch, after ordering it 2 minutes after opening of the online ordering, and...darned if Apple doesn't turn right around and do it again. I ordered within a minute of opening:
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:20:31 +0000 (GMT)
From: Apple Store <your_order_US@orders.apple.com>
And I got the iPad Pro on Thursday, 11/12, but the pencil and keyboard are STILL Processing, with expected delivery between 11/19 - 11/27. This is first time I have not gotten an Apple product shipped to me AHEAD of the estimated delivery date...
REALLY getting tired of their new way of not having things ready to go at order time...I could understand the Watch issue (not 58 days of understanding, but, some delay), but to do it all over again? Even rocks can learn.

I'm completely sympathetic. I also ordered the space black watch and was punished for doing so. Apple needs to get this together and have everything ready BEFORE it launches, don't just get it out the door so you can say you launched it.
I'm tired of waiting for my order (first day of my shipping window was yesterday - still processing)
I ordered a Pencil from Best Buy for Tuesday delivery.
Got tired of waiting for my apple pencil which I pre ordered on midnight of launch day with next day shipping, and both keyboard and pencil are still are in processing status. So, checked on bestbuy.com for availability at my local Las Vegas store.. Said it was in stock... Went down there, picked up a pencil, came back to work, and canceled my pencil order. Although it's getting a little ridiculous, I can wait for the keyboard to ship.. I just think it's crazy that places like Best Buy and staples have more availability than Apple does. Ugh. Oh well. I also picked up the silicone back cover.. Fits and feels nice on my IPP. Here's a pic of what was in stock at the Best Buy ... Middle of the day... Just sitting on the shelf. Lol
Is there really a chance I could get a pencil at my local best buy......oooooo
Might even join you d28z28 in ordering one from them.
EDIT: Not available within 250 miles of my zip code. But there is a chance for online delivery to work. Might try it. I am kinda expecting my order to update on Monday for a Tuesday -Wednesday shipment anyway.

Oh wow! I actually came back to my desk a little later and that same screen telling me there was nothing within 250 miles updated and showed one 1 hour and 30 min drive away from me!
I just bought it and it says waiting for me to come pick up!!
This is awesome! Thanks guys for the idea of looking at Best Buy! I might have one in hand by the end of the night!
As long as traffic allows me to make it on time! I have 1 hour 45 mins until they close. Please traffic gods, allow me this tonight!
EDIT:Check that my wife has just informed me that she would prefer I make the drive tomorrow morning where we can all go with my 3-year old son and do something while we are up near the city. Since she has only rolled her eyes once a day at me for buying this...I guess she deserves it. I can wait until tomorrow morning at 10am.

GOOD LUCK!
FWIW: I just now got a follow up email from Best Buy - the Pencil (that they said would be delivered Tuesday) now says it's backordered and could be delivered sometime between December 3 -15th. I cancelled and I'm back to just waiting for Apple to ship mine.
I have no idea what has gone on with this launch. I originally searched for the Pencils in stock in nearby pencils using the inventory checker and no store within 250 miles had it. So I ordered it online. A couple of hours later I went to the store to pick up a different item and noticed pencils. I later checked online and within a couple of minutes different stores were showing stock and would disappear 5 minutes later. I guess Best Buy also received small and sporadic shipments just like Apple stores.
Glad that you are finally getting your Apple Pencil.
I skipped the ordering route from Apple when got my iPad Pro. I decided to wait and take my chances later.
Just saw it in stock at my local BestBuy, ordered it online, and will be picking it up in the store today (11/21).
That is correct but the difference is that BestBuy allows you to check stock online, order it (if available) and pick it up in the store. Apple Store availibilty is hit & miss, catch it in the store if you can.
I did too! Mine says preparing for shipment. 1 minute after I ordered it from Best Buy they were gone again!
