I got my notification that the pencil will be available to pick up on Friday. Can't wait! Keyboard comes today as well. Best Buy comes through! Awesome!
 
Ordered pencil on Apple store on the 12th Nov and received notification it will arrive tomorrow. Cancelled the smart keyboard order this morning and ordered it from PCWorld with next day delivery and also arrives tomorrow.

Woo hoo!
 
Woo hoo, my pencil shipped today supposedly for delivery tomorrow! Was initially scheduled for Dec 7th through the 14th. (ordered Nov 11th at 8:30 AM est). Can't wait.
 
Ordered the Pencil and Smart Keyboard last week, 27th from the Apple Irish store. Delivery is still 4-5 weeks. From people's experience, is that accurate or is there a chance of getting them this side of Christmas?
 
Ordered: 12/3
Status:being processed
Delivery estimate Jan 7 - 13

This is fine for me since I need my apple pencil for grad school and Christmas break starts next week for me for about a month.
 
My Best Buy preorder for the pencil should be available for pickup tomorrow, but I still haven't received an email. :mad: I see a bunch of others here have.

Same here. I got an email from them this morning, I thought it was the pickup email but alas it wasn't. They wanted to let me know my order was delayed and it will be available the 4th (tomorrow). Strange email.

Yeah I received the same thing. It's bizarre because I was originally quoted as Dec 4th anyways so there is no actual delay.......yet.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Well, I got an email form them about an hour ago saying it was ready for pickup! At least best buy delivers on their promises.

Lol that's kinda funny honestly.

"Sorry, but you're order has been delayed until the date we originally promised you........... Btw, it's ready for pickup right now."
 
So my order with delivery estimation of dec 30-6 Jan, just went to preparing for shipment!! I originally had 20-30 nov date but was pushed to the end of queue because of issues with my CC. Anyone with the same dates get their status changed?
 
My order with Apple (placed on launch day about 9am) went preparing for shipment. Original delivery estimates of Dec 4 - Dec 11.
 
I got sorta lucky and checked best buys website last week when they were selling them for like 15 minutes. Arrived to the store late today and I am picking it up tomorrow morning. Can't wait!

I would imagine Apple will follow there stigma of 'under promise and over deliver' with some of these 4-5 week shipments. Good luck everyone.
 
Got the email from BBY overnight stating that my pencil was "delayed" with an availability of 12/4 lol... I really hope this means I'll be able to go pick it up today.

I got the same message. What I don't understand is when I ordered the item on 11/25, December 4th was the date to pickup in store.
 
Mine still has a delivery date of 6-11 Jan (ordered Nov 27). Anyone have previous experience of Apple under promising and over delivering or is it safe to say my Pencil and Keyboard will not be arriving this side of Christmas? (based in Ireland).
 
Anybody looking for a pencil I have 2 of them a week old I'm willing to part with returning my pro and lost my receipt for my pencils
