I paid with a debit card in Czech Republic, payment hasn't shown up yet.
I guess you are very close to the hub, which is in Prag. So they have some time and can ship it to you very quick. Delivery from Prag to Germany also in one day

Still no charge for me in Spain, are we all thinking that if the date range says 21-27th we can expect them on Friday?

Yes, I think so. I talked to the support today and they say, that I have to chill. When they send it at Thursday out, it comes Friday. The long range from 21-27.5 is only a worst case scenario, but I believe they will deliver this Friday

Not really you can request a return on your 13th day then another 14 days to get it shipped back to Apple, So therefore your safe after WWDC if your not happy with your option
I don't belong to that group of people (yet), but theoretically, I can ask for return and then cancel that request? I may have 1 day before my return window for Apple Pencil 2 expires, I'll have to think about it a bit.

You’d think so, but in the past I’ve seen items have gone from Prague to Germany, then back to Prague where I am located for actual delivery ?

No idea, but I guess (for obvious reasons) they try to keep the location as secret as possible. I tried to search online for information but no luck. You have to imagine it's fairly secure! ?

i wanted to buy from elgiganten as well.

But well, after 8 minutes i got impatient. The stock was already rumored to be small for 12.9(and it was), and elgiganten didnt refresh theirs on time. They were almost 20 minutes late in that game, and they still cant give a date. I usually like buying from such stores, it makes returns and repairs easy. Unfortunatly, they were too late for me. So i got directly from apples website.

It would be quite bad if they didnt have inventory for resellers. Otherwise you will likely end up getting your ipad late. i would however, recon that they will ship yours out in time. The stock for 11 inch should be good, so either way you will probably get it within the first week.

Elgiganten / Gigantti has them now shown as available in their central warehouse in quite large quantities. I would expect them to ship quite soon to those who preordered.

The availability for the basic models is 100+ while some of the 12.9 inch models are available in lesser quantities.

I noticed the same but unfortunately this might be false information. I just chatted with Gigantti customer service and they checked the situation and said their understanding is that the product is launched on 1 June and the deliveries start then. They also promised to check why their website says the product is available at the central warehouse and try to correct the information to the website. Not sure of course how knowledgeable the customer service actually is but I have a bad feeling about this... They even still have the "preorder" label on the product page.

I'm really disappointed if they receive my iPad only in June and then there's still the couple of days of actual delivery time. Also the 50+ inventory for my model (11'' Silver 256GB WiFi) doesn't seem to be too large. Should have ordered from Apple... ?‍♂️

That’s unfortunate news as I was hoping them to ship it in coming days to get it on Friday or Saturday.

What they actually have on their website might be the expected quantity and not the actual quantity then. Though 1.6 sounds really somewhat late launch day and it could be that the customer service might not know the situation at their central warehouse?
