Been in John Lewis and picked up my pen/keyboard - was in town so thought i'd pop in early on the off chance but received the collection email as I was on the escalator to collections, i was there within a minute, they must of thought I was very keen!
 
Thanks guys. Should have a keyboard on Saturday.

But I'm not expecting this to work.

Still more than 10 in stock on both?

Yeah, this ain't for real.

And what retailer updates stock at 9pm?!

So, the flagship Apple Stores in the UK get no more than 25 per shipment and John Lewis manages to get 500?

Sorry to be negative guys, but unless every Apple Store in the country becomes a Pencil and Keyboard emporium this seems like a technical glitch.

Exactly, I noticed this too! The stock number is increasing over time! Screams glitch.

Don't come crying to me on Saturday.

I'll be at the Apple Store at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

So it would appear my cynicism was misguided. Enjoy your Pencils and Keyboards everyone!

And thanks to @azing and everyone else who kept checking John Lewis for stock and keeping us informed.

This thread isn't dead yet though, there are lots of people still wanting these! Will keep updating if I get any info on availability.

Thanks for the update everybody, I got my Keyboard and Pencil through John Lewis this morning (had the text just after 9am!) - Had also ordered a keyboard and pencil through PC world, and paid for the early morning delivery today, but I've had a text from DPD saying that they hadn't received the parcel from PC world. Hope nobody else had any issues with them!

Hi all, I have bought some additional pencils and happy to sell them to any one on here for cost price plus a few pound extra for postage.

Did it before the ebay selling scums bought them.
 
After getting them for collection at JL today I now can't get there until tomorrow. Just think of them lying there all lonely on a shelf
 
Picked mine up this morning. Very happy!

John Lewis 2 year warrantee is a great bonus, too!

Hope everyone manages to get hold of theirs in the next couple of days!

Well, PC World came through! My Apple Pencil I ordered from them yesterday morning arrived here today. A little late, but the DPD driver apologised profusely and at least it's here. No kudos to Apple's online store though - my original order with them made on the 11th November was still "Processing" when I cancelled it late yesterday. Shame on you.
Thanks to all the guys who posted details here about alternative suppliers. I would never have thought of trying PC World for this product.
 
Just used the pencil to make some handwritten notes for work. This thing is brilliant! Really accurate and it feels natural! I recommend Notability for anyone needing to make notes and it works with multitasking too. Hope everyone's managed to get one! I'm sure I saw some on the shelf at Metrocentre Apple Store for anyone still looking for one up north.
 
Placed order for John Lewis for Apple pencil and smart keyboard Thursday night got give Saturday delivery time 2pm ...receive email today at 1.55 saying your order in not ready for pickup today maybe tommorow spoke to customer service who say the order had only been dispatched today so not looking likely for Sunday ...
 
picked up my pen and keyboard from John Lewis today and love them both. Typing this on the keyboard.
