My 12.9 256gb Silver Wi-Fi only no engraving just changed to "preparing to ship." Order confirmation 22 minutes after pre-orders opened. Western USA. CC charged as well.

12.9/256/WiFi/Silver No Engraving. I just got a message from the online store that the payment was declined. Called Apple to find out what happened and they said that because my AppleCare monthly charge for my iPhone charged to the account balance automatically, it couldn't authorize for the full amount it was supposed to. They were able to straight it out and everything is back on track. Looks like I'll be getting a 'Preparing for Shipment' notification soon. Yaaay! My stomach just about caved in on itself when I got that message.

Something very similar happened to me. I called they fixed and it went to Preparing to Ship 30 min later.

Any Canadians seeing their iPad Pro preparing to ship?
Nope, but my date is June 3-9 even though I ordered it only a few minutes after orders opened.

My luck kinda always sucks with pre-orders, end up getting it for pickup on launch day in store most of the time.
