Same here... was looking to get a Keyboard shipped from Best Buy via family in the US. But while shipping to the US via Royal Mail is nice and easy and cheap - no more than £20 - the reverse seems to cost upwards of $60 by USPS. Crazy.
Got a tip for us?

iPad Pro Apple Pencil UK Availability

I had a look at shipping it here as well and I couldn't justify spending that much.
An Apple Store employee I spoke to today suggested I'm better off just waiting for my online order (with an expected delivery of 17th - 23rd Dec) than to keep checking the stores. She didn't seem hopeful they'll be getting any stock any time soon.
Ok, there is no rhyme or reason to this... 15 to White City and none at all in other London stores? It's totally random.
So the data from earlier today disproved my theory that there might be stock arriving in Apple Stores today, but then the White City data supports the theory! One thought - what time do stores get stock deliveries? Is it possible today's stock delivery hadn't been delivered and/or unpacked when people checked the other stores this morning?
Anyway, my 11:30 11/11 UK online order arrived earlier this afternoon. The Pencil is amazing - well worth the wait guys!
Thanks! Works well
I saw three pencils being bought whilst I was in the store, the front of house staff said they'd only had them available for around an hour. Based on that, it seems the deliveries aren't necessarily unpacked ready for store opening. They said they didn't know when they'd be getting more.
I'd rang both my local stores at about 10:30am this morning and asked if they had the pencil and asked if they had the delivery yet. In both cases they said they've had the delivery but not a single pencil.
I have no idea what is determining where they are sending these accessories.
Enjoy the pencil. Not envious at all...

OK, theory officially rejected

It was your theory that made me try the store today!
They said there was none in the delivery today, but to check every day as they've received a few in the past weeks, but randomly... It seems like Apple doesn't have any idea on how to manage the stock of this pencils :S
Yeah this doesn't make sense to me. I would have understood 15 getting sent to the Regent Street store (it's their flagship store in the UK right?) but for them to go to Westfield instead seems random (although it is a nice shopping centre).
Exactly, one would expect 15 to Regent/Covent and 3 to Westfield, not the other way around...
OK, here is my new Apple UK Pencil distribution theory (drawn with my new pencil of course)
Just checked Basingstoke - none.
Got the normal line that they are available to reserve online. When I said that they weren't appearing online, they said that they'll appear as soon as they log them into their systems if they get a delivery, but will be gone almost immediately.
Has anyone actually managed to reserve one online, or seen them available to reserve yet?
