I usually do this for all big purchases. It used to be free, now there is a surcharge. In addition, my UPS customer center is no longer an option for pickup, probably due to COVID. The only options were UPS stores, Staples etc.

I have a UPS store within easy walking distance. However, I'll probably just have it delivered to my home, as it's very doubtful the package will be there when it opens.

For the last iPhone I had to call them or chat with them. Mind is a little fuzzy on it. But they changed it, and since I had UPS My Choice, it didn't cost me anything.

I will wait till it hits Alaska, then I will try to do the same thing. If it doesn't work, then I'll just wait to have it delivered. Was going to take that day off anyway.

I’ll cheer you along. Mine is 6/9–6/23. It hasn’t moved from processing either. Hoping it’ll show movement by the end of the month but not holding my breath.
I‘m in almost the same boat as you, with my range being June 4-10, which hasn’t changed all along. I live in Halifax, so that’s probably why I’m one day later than you. My order was placed 39 minutes after the preorder site opened.

Although the late dates are discouraging, I guess the most we can do is cheer each other along, and like you, I hope our dates get moved up.

When I placed my order on April 30, my confirmation email actually said “ships in 3-4 weeks”, which would put the earliest shipping day as next Friday, the 21st, and the latest shipping date, the 28th. I’m wondering whether they’ve backed off those dates, since the June 4-10 window would suggest a later shipping date, if it takes a week or so to get here from China. The order page no longer gives a shipping date, only an estimated delivery date.

I‘ll send my cheers to you as well, and let’s keep our fingers crossed that we get them earlier than expected.

It’s going to be a great day when I see that “preparing to ship” update, and an even better day when it actually ships and I have a tracking number.

Someone mentioned before they believe the 11" models are already in the states, thus why there are no shipping updates with those, only the 12.9" models. I believe that fully.

Why? Because the 11" model is 100% the same to the last two models, the only difference is the logic board, using the M1, something Apple has had access to for many months.

I'd be willing to bet the 11" M1 models have been stateside for weeks now and they're just waiting to roll out to meet that estimated delivery window.

The 12.9" model has the new screen tech, the new case design (thicker) etc. so there were a lot more moving pieces.

I'm worried they are already here. They get delivered through their "New" Deliver It service. It takes days sometimes for things to be delivered through them. It's supposedly out for delivery... well I guess it never was. Or they forgot it in their cars. I just don't count on them, as it is very hit or miss.

Oops, wasn’t clear… i meant about the Combo Touch case…

Nope, no movement. At this point, I’m not looking at my order online. I’ll rather wait for an email from Best Buy of any changes to it.
Since the BB posts are splintered in this thread, I do not remember if someone explained their delivery system but at what point do BB orders, like the Apple orders, show up in the UPS and FedEx apps? I say this because all the Apple orders that can be located in the UPS app are showing delivery on May 21 which is apparently also the BB day of decision.

I had gotten a TV ship from BB… about a year ago. But once you get an email notification of shipped status.. you’ll be given a tracking number once you go to the BB website to login. I’m guessing Tuesday or Wednesday we will get some type of update.

I’m waiting on the logitech, too, but it’s supposed to be here last week of may long before the tablet mid June. At least it’s once again pre-orderable on the Logitech site. Apple store let you order it first, then l9gitech had it on pre-order, then back ton”coming soon{ and now back to preorder. Apple has held their $240 pending charge open since may 3ish; longer than normal pending are supposed to hang around. I thought it disappeared, but if so is cerytainly back again with the same old date.

I have the exact same thing as you and very close order time as you.
I also have 3-4 weeks and was wondering. I guess we'll have to wait and see..

Has anyone noticed that their iPad shipping date slipped? My order confirmation email is timed at 8:01AM EST, and I ordered a 12.9 1TB Silver Personalized; confirmation email states delivery May 21-28 and now I just logged in and checked online and it has slipped to June 2-9?? Little peeved about that, especially since just this afternoon it still had May 21-28 listed...WTF?

Ah nooooo, that’s annoying. Is it being delivered to the US?

Just checked mine, still says 21-31, delivering to Canada. Here’s hoping mine doesn’t slip too. I ordered similar - 1TB, Space Grey, Cellular, Personalized.

It’s happening! Just had the order show up in the UPS app ?? Figured I’d get mine later in the month since the estimated date still shows 21-31 on the Apple Store app! UPS says 21st!! Ahhh, is it next Friday yet? ?

Update: there’s three different dates.
Email: May 25th
Apple Store app: May 21-31
UPS: May 21st

Weird, no?
