This sounds insane, but because of the ridiculous iPad Pencil situation, I'm desperate to find one before I go on vacation this weekend. Been trying all the sites, scripts, and stores. No luck. Today I went to the Apple Store's nearby and they BOTH said they do not get the pencils before 10am, it's usually later in the day. Online I read that multiple people got theirs around 11:30am. They're trying to prevent scalpers from waiting outside it sounds like.

I have the rest of this week off, and I'll literally hang out at the mall nearby Apple for a couple hours between 10am - noon waiting for their daily supply delivery. Again, this sounds insane, but does anyone know if the UPS/FedEx guy comes thru the front door? If it's true that they receive these tiny quantities of Pencils I believe I could score one by waiting for their delivery to come in. It'd really suck not to have the Pencil on my vacation where I planned on sketching drawings for 2 weeks on the beach in Australia :(

If you know of alternatives I'm all ears. Thanks guys.
