that would be my nightmare! Glad you have a good neighbor and got your iPad in the end..
Yeah. It was 5 horrible minutes. And UPS automated hotline was not helping. « Sorry, we weren’t able to find your parcel. Please repeat your order number character by character. ». Where is the button to just talk to someone ? ?
Hopefully my neighbor called before my iPhone’s inaugural flight ?

I see you have problems with DHL. Hope it’s sorted today !

Well DHL Express SUCKS! I am home and waiting when i get an SMS about package cant be delivered cuz I am not home! go check the mailbox and find a you are not home card!! WHAT BS.. tried to call DHL Express.. dont get connected thru so try their online chat.. only to be told well we can put in a request to re-deliver but cant guarantee it will happen.. call us in 2 hours to see what the options are.. most likely i will have to drive to Utrecht to pick it up today. It is a 2 hour round trip for me! Not what I needed to do today especially since I am home! and DHL Express doesnt deliver on Saturday.. Monday is a holiday.. so it would be Tuesday before they would try to deliver again. We have had this before with DHL Express usually not a problem if delivered 1 day later but now its a holiday weekend. So bummed right now.. i hope the driver does the right thing and does re-attempt a delivery today... RANT OVER...

Sorry dont mean to be such a bummer and CONGRATS to all who have gotten theirs today! Enjoy it and have lots of fun with it.. it looks really cool and so much better than I expected..
Same thing happened to me with UPS. I’m rather pissed as I could have just picked it up at the local Apple store this morning. Waiting for the idiot to drop off the package so I can go and pick it up… I didn’t even bother calling as it’s a waste of time.

That is absolutely not acceptable! Unfortunately that just happens way too often. The couriers have too many packages and they just cheat so their workload is less.
I really hope you can get it today or maybe they have a solution to drop it off tomorrow.
keep us updated if you’d like.

yes indeed.. it really is unfortunate that they do that.. just so they can be done with work and not care..
I hope so too.. soon I will be able to call and see what the plan is.. I will for sure keep you all updated!

Oh I’m really sorry for you! Just keep ringing them/chatting with them. Usually it helps to make them crazy.
I just received my package. A few different color cases are coming within 2 hours.
Too bad I’m only home in about an hour.. can’t wait to tear those boxes open image.jpg

WOW Congrats!! That hour is going to feel like a day LOL! And once you open it and start playing with it the time will fly by ?

Yep just called again and the courier will try they say again today. If not here by 17:30 I am to call again so I can pickup in Utrecht.. Or its wait for a Tuesday delivery (that is not happening) Ill drive the 2 hours.. either tonight or early tomorrow morning.. probably tonight if I can make it happen..

Got my 12.9" some hours ago, and love it so far. Obviously a huge upgrade from my ipad air 2, which has been in good use the last 6 years. Thinking about getting the white magic keyboard, so if anyone has got that I would love to hear what you think about it before I buy it.

Well I’ve got to say: it’s a massive iPad. It’s really big and I have to get used to the size a bit to be honest. The screen is amazing though and it’s so incredibly fast, unbelievable.
the size and weight will become normal I suspect, I just need to find the best way to hold it and use it.
in combination with the Apple Pencil and a keyboard and mouse, I don’t see the need for a MacBook for me anymore. This device is really complete.
I do now wish that iOS 15 will expand the iPads capabilities. It’s capable of so much more, you just feel it.

all in all, I’m super happy I made the decision to buy one! I also have a paperlike screen protector and that feels amazing to draw on!
sound is also really good.
and the screen… oh boy.. best I’ve ever looked at compared with every other device I’ve ever looked at.

i had luck and the UPS Driver took some overtime hours today and i got everything delivered.
I got the White Magic Keyboard now with the iPad Pro in Silver. It really looks stunning.

Had the Black Magic Keyboard before & im definitely selling the black one because i fell in love with the white combo now :D

I like the colors of the screen so much. I really missed these colors moving to the iPhone 12 Pro from a Xr
? are the colors on the XR better than the 12Pro?
I have an XR and was thinking of getting a 12PRO or the 13 when it comes out..

That is soo cool! I was thinking of getting the paperlike as I want to use the iPad for drawing.. but was on the fence because I was worried it would kill the awesome new screen colors.. do you notice much of a difference?
