There is an e-mail from Apple if the item is shipped. But not when it's "Preparing for Shipment"

that's right that was i meant to say i guess the poster meant he is keep checking his order every 30 minutes to see if its moves from processing to PFS not shipping. He should have wrote from processing to PFS not shipping but i assume he meant PFS.
 
Maybe the 11/19-27 wave will get prepared soon now that there's been some activity for y'all! :D Fingers crossed. Maybe tomorrow will be our day!

So salty I wasn't able to order *right* at midnight. My bank blocked my card, and assumed it was fraud. :rolleyes: so I was on hold for half an hour before I could purchase. Urgh

I'm in the same boat as you - right down to my card not going through because my bank thought it was fishy - granted I don't make many large purchases at 4:00AM. It put me in the same shipping window as you. Here's to "prepared for shipment" soon!

Yeah I do have the iPad but I must admit it doesn't feel complete at all without the Pencil or Keyboard. I got it with the accessories to replace my laptop and so far it can't do that. Hoping the accessories ship soon!
 
Looks like I've just been charged for the pencil. Ordered about 30 minutes after go live. Still saying processing expected deliver 19 - 26 November.

Preparing for shipment, both the pencil and smart keyboard. Australian order. Delivered by 23rd November. Originally said 19th to 23rd. Card has been charged.
 
I haven't actually decided whether or not to get an iPad Pro, but the delivery time on the Pencil is so long that I've ordered one now, just in case.

I'm in the UK and have been quoted 17 Dec to 23 Dec.

Frankly that's ridiculous. Apple really needs to get its act together.

Or is it like the Apple Watch? At one point they were quoting ridiculous times for bands to be delivered. Then suddenly they started shipping really quickly and delivery estimates reduced enormously overnight.
 
Update this morning..... I am not regretting paying extra for overnight shipping. I leave for out of town and wouldn't of gotten it until later next week unless it did!

Did. Thank you. Can you remove it from your quote as well? Thanks

Yeah I bet you didn't expect the hyperlink to actually embed from a copy and paste into the forums! Good to see that the 5-7 day orders are done. I am in the 1-2 week batch (i.e. next lot)...so as UK 5-7 days, went out on Friday, I am hoping that the next batch is a week behind (i.e. dispatching late this week)

Definitely didn't. I was suppose to originally receive it between the 19th and 23rd and it shipped sooner. I have a feeling they are going to be a lot easier to get in the near future and ship sooner rather than later.
