Although using search and trying to monitor relevant threads, I, for one, would find it useful to have a single thread about 2021 pre-orders made through BB.
I placed an order with Apple last Friday, but like many others did not get through for almost an hour so delivery is June 9 - 23.
I placed an order last night with BB to see which would would be released first although BB does not give a clue about shipping dates.
My order is for a 12.9" 1TB SG iPad Pro Wifi only.

What does BB stand for? The last time I heard that acronym, somebody was using it to refer to BlackBerry. :p

Sorry, but following the lead of other posts I was referring to Best Buy. I suppose it is too late to revise the title of the thread.

i ordered day one on apple (was out walking the dog so just happened to do it on mobile) then also best buy right when it became available. best buy sent an email later that day saying that my fulfillment date was updated to be May 21.
however, for unrelated reasons i got really annoyed at best buy while trying to get a refund for the windows-specific version of turbotax i accidentally bought haha, and on top of the fact that i didn't realize apple purchases there don't yield any mybestbuy points, i cancelled my BB order and am sticking with the apple one (i got may 21-28 eta for apple anyway).

the reason i did two is that i'm moving at the end of the month and wanted to play it safe, and also have been doing pretty well with best buy rewards coupons this year so thought it would be more worthwhile. oh well!

hopefully my cancellation bumped somebody else here ever so slightly up in the queue :)
